La Hanree, 1L, Nov. 4.—The sandstone tablots recently discovered several feet in the virgin soil under an old aecayed stump on a farm near here, contain characters taat are attracting the attention of naturalists and antiquarians. Tho two tablets are of sand- stone eleven by ton and a halt inches thick. Ono end is inscribea with some unin- telligiblo words and in Roman capi tals, tho date, June 1, 1715 Lying on tho odge of tho tablets and partially overlapping them were found a flint urrow- head and three flint sprawls, doubtless the instruments with which the lettering was cut. Tho lettering is fairly well executed. ‘Tho tablets on the reverse side show the wear from water and other natural clemeats, showing that they wero originally the ex- posed sides of a lacial boulder. “Phe theory is that _the tablets aro the work of some_ignovant follower of LaSalle and “Tonti, who established a military post called Fort Crovecooir, whero Peoria now is. On January 3, 1680, LaSaile, while explor- ing the Mississippi river, left the fort and men under command of Henry Tonti, an ttalian. A few years later, provably in 1687, while Tonti” and LaSalle were both absont from the fort, most of the men, doubt- less ignorant Frenchmen from Normandy, re- voited, and loaving tho fort took with them tools and provisions. Thoy becume like the savages. no doubt joining the Tudians, sothat twonty-eight vears after the revolts some one of Tonti's followers doubtloss drifted down to tus spot and after patiently etching out these mysterious letters on tho tablets, buried them, together with the rude tools with which they did tho work. The talets have been sent to the Smithsonian institu- tion at Washington for inspection. et WAITING FOR HIGH LICENSE. ST. Plenty of Cash Ready to Be Invested in fowa.

C., Nov. 5.--The congress of Brazil having refused to ratify the plan for the sottloment of the boundary disputed with the Argentine Republic, tho question has beon referred to the president of the United States as arbitrator. 'I'he arbitration proceedings will be held iu Washington this winter. The Bureau of American Republics is in- formed that the Brazilian government has reorganized the United tes diplomatic and consular service. The importanco attached to the United States legation is shown by the fact i it ls elovated to tho first-class and tho staff of tho ministry increased by the addition of second and third secretaries, with a force of clerks The South American Journal, of London, England, snys: *“The business rosults of the reciprocity moasures of Mr. Blaine are already discernable in the treaty of the nited States, Bven English companies operating in Brazil are now purchasing their supplies largely in the United States to secure the bouefit of the reduction of 25 per cent in duties.” RIPE FOR BEVOLUTION. of Brazil Reaches a Dangerous Crisi [Copyrighted 1501 by Republic mes Gordon Bennett.] Rio Jaxenio, Nov. 5. —New York Herald Cablo—Spocial to Tur Bk ]—1t may bo that Brazil is on the brink of anothor revolu- tion, Matters cortainly look dark enough at present. The fight so long maintained be- tween congress on tho ono side and Presi- dent Doodoro da Fouscca and the govern- ment on the other has reached a culmination. Ior quite a timo their differences were over financial affairs, Moasures pressed by tho legislature wero vetoed by the chiof magi- strate and changes advocated by the presi- dent wero voted down by congress. Ke- cently an attempt has been made tocurb the power of tho chief executive. The fact that 3Da lonseca 1s & mulitary man tas led many to fear, or to protend to, that ho will proclaim himself dictator. To prevent such contingency, congress a short time ago passed a iaw (ixing process of impeachment of the president. Da Fonseca vetoed the measure. His veto wus consid- ercd i a_heated session which resulted in the carrying of a motion to override the voto. As soon as this action of the national legisla- ture was made known to Da Forseca he be- o very much excited and therounon dis- solved congross. His decree to that effect was mado public yesterday. Martial law has been prociaimed throvghout Rio Janeiro sod the othe states forming the confederacy. What the upshot will be = no one can say. The fecling here is one of great fear of what may follow. The dissolution of congress may result in the cnoice of another president. Da ronseca was not chosen by the people, but by cougress. 1t was belicved on account of his heaith that he would not remain in oftice longer than it was necessary to establish order after the dethronement of Dom Pedro, but_he has evinced no disposi- tion since to resign. No candidate as yet has been prominonutly brought forward s his successor. At one time it was thought that Senor Presidente Jose do Moraes Barroes, senator for the state of Sau Panilo, who was' the opposing_candi- date for the office after Dom Pedro’s over- throw would foilow Da Fonseca juto the presidency. In case of an uprising Da tonscea would have to all appearances the army and navy solidly at his back. The vice president is aiso a general. The opposition to military rulers continues vory marked. All cable and telograph messages are sub- jocted to censorsbip. The same is true of news agencies. The legislature is modeled ou that of the United States. There are 22 senators and deputies. Senators are clected for nine years and deputies for three years. ENGLISH INFLU. l'\(lf, 3 Opinion of an Eminent Brazilian on the Present Trouble. New Yonk, Nov. 5.—Senor do Paulo Collho, editor of the United States of Brazil and, until Dom Pedro's overtirow, an exile from Brazil, a promotor of Americo-Brazilian enterprises and a constant correspondent of the most important officials at Rio, sald this ofterncon rolative to tho troubles now existing in Brazil: “There is no revolution in Brazil nor will there boone. I don't hesitate to say that tho existing troubles may ve traced to the Enghsh and their chagrin at the troaty of reciprocity recently made with this country. Ever since Prosident Fonseca signed the treaty English agents hovo been howling into the ears of thie younger cou- gressmon tho great injustico done to Brazil and the vast sums of money thereby lost, and,it seoms not without effect. Thus impelled the Younger congressmen have carried on the fight, and in_some respocts it resembled tho Platt-Coukling incident of a fow vears ago nore. When this became apparent to Fonseca he said to these congressmen: ‘Go!' Aud to prevent the sending of unfounded and lying reporis he placed a censorship on the cabley ete, They say he wants to succeed himself, but 1t is all bosh. Soon the smoko will cleat away and you will find the outcome to be ouo of peace sud progress. T'he markets aro opencd to America and England is as ever envious but discreet. Loxnoy, Nov. 5.—Very little news is ob- tainable here in rogard to the revolution in Brazil. The continued ill health of Presi- dent Da Fonseca and pohitical intrignes as to the choico of bis successor aro said to bo at the bottom of the uprising. It is said there has beon fighting in the streets of Rio do Janeiro, but the report. cannot bo verified. BRAZIL'S TROUBLES, Order Being Maintained—A New Election Called. Wasmixaroy, D, C,, Nov. 5.—The Depart- ment of State has received a cablegram from Minister Conger confirming the report of the dissoiution of congress and declaring martial law in Brazil. The disturbed state of affairs in Brazil 15 viewed with decp concern, in view of the importance of Amarican interests in thut country and close trade relatious with it. Thero is reason to believe the revolut ary movemeut is being fomented by a consid- erable party, which seeks to re-establish the monarchial form of government in Brazil. The movement will probably lead to the ordering of some more naval vessels to points where trouble is threatoned. Rio Jaxeiro, Nov, ~It is ofcially an- nounced that the president has conveued the nation to elect new representatives at a date to be determined upon later. The federal capital (Rio Janeiro) and the town of Nictheroy (or Praia Grande) have been declared to be 1 a state of siegoe for two months. The president has been pro- voked to take these steps by tho proceedings of congress and by the efforts of the pro- moters of a restoration to overthrow repub- lican institutions. The president in a manifesto issued to the nation declares himself to have been fully judstified in taking the stops reforred to. Tho army and navy support the government and publio tranquility according to the of flcial announcement, is perfect tiroughout the states. In conclusion it is sad that the government is ready to maintain order by every means, that the coustitution will be respected aud that the governmeut will also be auswerable for all national en- Tho governors of the loading cs have congratulated President Da Fonseca upon his success iu maintaining order. Situation Uuchanged. Rio JaxEmo, Nov. 5.—The general situa- tion is vnchanged.
