Two of a Party of Louisiana White Caps Found Guilty.

Not wishing to appeal the case the party sued concluded to have the woman regulated. A gang of mounted men went to Dupleichin’s place after midnight, called the woman up, and were taking her away forcibly when she appealed to her employer for protection. Dupleichin fired on the regulators, severely wounding one of them, and was in turn shot by the regulators and severely wounded. The woman was released and the regulators hastily retreated, but the wounded man led to the identity o f the party. two of whom have just been convicted as stated above. BRAZIL BLESSED BY THE CHURCH.

R. G. DUN & CO.'S WEEKLY REVIEW. Business in All Lines Fairly Prosperous— Coffee Only Fractionally Higher. B. G. Dun & Co.’s weekly review of trade says: Tne Brazilian revolution has had surprisingly little influence on the markets as yet; coffee is only an eighth higher for the week, and the new Government appears to be so generally sustained that apprehension of closing of i>orts or inteiruption of trade has almost ceased. But it is possible that the money markets were indirectly affected to some extent through Europe, where the uncertainty continues. Here money has been scarce and dear at times, tight at Philadelphia, and decidedly close at Boston. The heavy exports of domestic products give strong assurance that the money market will hardly be disturbed by demands from abroad. The marketing of crops and movement of money from New York to pay for them have produced an easier situation at Western and Southern centers. The great industries are making steady progress. Iron and steel are strong. The cotton manufacture has been doing a steady business, with firm prices. The woolen goods business does not appear at Boston to be improving to any great extent, but there has been more activity in the wool market. Montevideo hides have sold at the lowest price for thirty-five years, but more demand for leather is noticed at Boston. Hardware is also selling well, and lumbir is in good demand. Wheat has risen %c, and corn %c. Oats rose %c, and pork groducts arehigner. The general course of prices as been upward, however, the advance since Nov. 1 having averaged about 1% per cent, on all commodities. At Chicago the dressed beef receipts are double those of last year, and of provisions more than double, while the dry goods trade still shows satisfactory results, with payments easy in the country. The Minneapolis market is active, trade is satisfactory therewith improving collections and business is improving at Kansas City. On the whole the outlook remains favorable. The business failures number 277, as compared with 265 the previous week, and 267 the week before that. For the corresponding week of last year the figures were 2J6. WASHINGTON’S SENATORS. John B.

POPULAR GOVERNMENT.

PARTICULARS OF THE SOUTH AMERICAN REVOLUTION. Gen. Da Fonseca Provisional President and Dom Pedro Forced to Abdicate— Ihe Articles of Federation of the Provisional Government. A Rio Janeiro cable says: The city awoke last Friday to hear the republic proclaimed. Gen. Da Fonseca, Senor Constant, and others, proceeded to Petro polis in the morning and informed the Emperor that he had been deposed. Dom Pedro, surrounded by his family,, received the deputation with absolute composure. Gen. Da Fonseca was the spokesman. He said that Brazil had advanced far enough in the path of civilization to dispense with the monarchy. The country, while grateful to the Emperor for his patriotic services, was firmly resolved to recognize only the republic. Dom Pedro made a dignified reply. He declined to abdicate, but said he would yield to force. The imperial family was allowed one hour to prepare for their departure. Carriages escorted by soldiers were waiting to take them to the outer harbor, where a man-of-war was lying under steam. The captain had been instructed to sail as soon as the imperial family had embarked. He had received sealed orders instructing him what route to take. It is supposed that Lisbon is the destination of the vessel. The republic will allow the deposed Emperor 800 contos de reis per annum during his life. The denomination adopted by the government for the republic is the United States of Brazil. The Governors named by the provisional government are all military men The province of Bania has proclaimed for the republic. Peace and quietness reign. The five articles of the government decree are: 1. The republic is proclaimed. 2. The provinces of Brazil, united by federation, compose the United States of Erazil. 8. Each State will form its own local government. 4. Each State will send a representative to the Congress, which will convene shortly, and the final decision of which the provisional government will await. 5. Meantime the Governors of the States will adopt means to maintain order and protect the citizens’ rights. The nation’s internal relations will be presented meanwhile by the provisional (government Senor Patrocinio has been inprisoned for conspiring against the republic. Peace and quietness reign. A London dispatch says: Dr. Barboza, the new Brazilian minister of finance, has telegraphed to the Brazilian minister here to the following effect: ‘‘The government is constituted as the United States of Brazil. The monarchy is deposed and Dom Pedro and his family have left the country. The provinces have signified their adhesion to the government. Tranquility and general satisfaction prevail. The republic will strictly respect all State engagements, obligations, and contracts. ’ ’ The Brazillian minister is directed to notify the stock exchange that all financial engagements entered into by the imperial government will bs faithfully observed by the republic. A long cablegram has been received at Washington, by the Brazilian minister, containing a complete official confirmation of the report of the revolution already published. The communication states officially that the empire is. abolished and the Emperor sent out of the country; that a republic has been established under the name of the United States of Brazil; that a provisional government has been formed with the ofiicers already named in the public dispatches; that all the provinceshave assented to the new government; that peace and order prevail, and that the new government will carry out all the contracts and agreements of the old one. This information the minister laid officially before the State department. The cablegram does not state whether the minister and other representatives of the former government here will be recalled or directed to continue their relations as before, nor does it refer to the delegates to the marine conference or the pan-American congress now in session here. It is presumed by the officials themselves that the matter will not be determined until the new government has had time and opportunity to shape its policy and determine with reference to its officers to carry out the same. The minister desires it to be stated that he has not resigned and has not been recalled. Just before tne marine conference rose for the noon recess Admiral Viel, of Chili, announced that he had been requested by Capt. Gama and Maunty. the delegates from Brazil, to say that in view of the present condition of affairs in that country they would not longer sit in the conference. London special: The Brazilian minister at Vienna has received a cable briefly detailing the facts of the revolution. His information is to the effect that Fonseca, now provisional president of Brazil, secured the treachery of the garrison to the imperial government by promises of pay. The army seized Rio Janeiro on Thursday. A committee with a detachment of military proceeded on Friday morning to the imperial palace at Petropolis and informed the Emperor in the presence of his family that he had been deposed. Dom Pedro received the news with composure. Within an hour he was placed on a mail steamer to sail for Lisbon.

The Writer ot “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” Finally Becomes Demented, A Hartford (Conn.) dispatch says: Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe is mildly Day by day she wanders around under the bare boughs of the autumn trees, gathering their leaves like a child. She is quite harmless. Only last week she wandered out on to the street alone, A shawl which hung from her shoulders dragged on the ground and her gray hair was in disorder. She smiled and talked to hen elf as she tottered weakly along, and finally a crowd of rough street-boys were following her. They laughed and jeered at the pitiful sight, not knowing who she was. A gentleman came along who had known her in happier years. He dispersed the boys and with some difficulty induced the aged woman to return home.
