Much earnestness 15 evidenced in the contest for the convention, but the best of good humor prevails, Nebraska's Great Growth, A census bulletin giving the population by ctvil aivisions, and revised and correctod, 1s out this evening.

Report of Agent le of the Treas- ary Department. Wasmixaros, D. C., Nov. 10.—Mr. A. K. Lingle, supervising special ageut of the Treasury aepartment, in his annual report to the secretary of tho treasury, shows that duriug the past fiscal year the special agents soized goods to the value of §143,236, and re- covered $225,600 on account of seizures, fines, duties, ote. A scrious question, says the report, is the great dimfculty under presont conditions of enforcing the law against smugglers who make Canadan and the republic of Mexico the busis of their operations. The number of oficers for preventiveduty upon these long lines of frontier does not exceed twenty and the present customs appropriation will not adwit of any material wcrease of this force. Opium has been smuggleo across the Can- ada liae in great quantitics, The duty of §12 a pound prevents legitimate importation of optum, and is the essential basis of the smug- glers’ profit, Keduce the duty to $k per pound and s oceupation will be gone. But the smuggling of opiut is not the only alarming consequence following the opening of the railways through Mauitoba, the North- west territory and British Columbia. The various acts of congress huying for their ob- ject the_exclusion of Chineso laborers from the United States are practically nuilified by tho clandestine introduction of Chineso commng direct from China through the dominion of Canada, The steamers of the Canadian Pacifio railroad tand Chincso at Vancouver by thousands. The Canadian government collects a bead tax of $0 on each Chinese person, and gives him a certificate which enables him to return to Canada without payment of the tax a sec- ond tine shoula he be detected on entering the United States. The courts in several cases have given the construction that Caugda, and not China, was the country whence these Chinamen came, within the weaniug of the law. The effect of this is that Chinese persons once returned to Can ada again enter tho country and repeated instances of this kind have occurred. — Thus the object of tho Chinese restriction actis practicaily defeated. OLD AND NEW METrHODS, stestant Episcopal Ministers Dis- cuss fher Bt Wasmisaroy, D, C., Nov. 19, day’s session of the Episcopal congress began this moruing with Bishop Dudloy of Ken tucky presiding. A numbver of essays were vead on the goneral subject of the new and old parochial methods Rev. Langdon Stowartson of Worcester, Mass., took the ground that the distinction etween the old and new pavochial methods was best seen in the simplicity of the former as compared with tho complications that mark the latter, le fivst speker for tho afternoon was ¢, . S, Lindes of New Haven. His ad- dress was in the nature of a plea for the mod- orn methods, having their foundation as they nave upon the successful though simpler methods of the past, Rev. Henry L. Jones of Wilkesbarre, Pa. was tho last speaker on the program. He followed in much the same lincs as those of Rev. Mr. Lindes, speaking in favor of the methods of parochial work as they exist today.

VaLraraiso, Chili, (via Galveston, Tex.), Nov. 19.—|By Mexican Cablo to the New York Herald—Special to Tne Bre.|—-Two widely differout roports have reached berc tonight from Rio Janeiro, Brazl. From ofi- cial sources the statement 1s made that Dicta- tor Fonseca has neard by wire from all of the governors of tho states in the republic, and that every message announces adhevence to the new form of government. On the other hand it is as serted, on what appears to be reliable au- thority, that Fonseea has imprisoned all of the deputics from the state of Rio Grande do Sul, with the exception of four, who, taking alarm in good season, fled from Rio Janeiro, and are now safcly beyoud the reach of the dictator. Admiral Waudenkolk, it is also asserted, nad deserted Fonseca and joined the in- surgents in Rio Grand do Sul. They have named as the chief of their military forces General Ossorla. Fonseca dispatched one of his gunboats and a torpedo boat to the mouth of the Rio Grande, but the insurgents suc- cossfully defended the passago. The govern- ment of Uruguay has strictly prohibited the supplying of coal to the ships of the Brazilian 1nsurgents, stating that it intends to main- tain neutrality between the dictator and his opponents.
