From Brazil Is Watched With Intense Interest—Berlin's Winter Season.

I Copyright, IK#, by the New York Associated Press. I BMU.I.N, November -3.—'The terms of tjuce between Austria and Ilussia, which Prince Bismarck forced upon Count Kalnoky are already partly fulfilled on the Russian side. The czar has stopped the pan-slavist committee from sending agents into Bulgaria, and peremptorily warned them not to foster in the meantime within Bulgaria any agitation. The Austrian side brought about the rupture of the proposed marriage of l'rince Ferdinand tj the PrinceBS D'Aleneon. The Austrian iinance minister refused to allow on the bourse the completion of the landerbanks loan to Bulgaria. Count Kalnoky has instructed the Austrian consul in Sofia to modify his partisanship in behalf of Prince Ferdinand. Finally F.mperor Francis Joseph, though resenting thtt suggestion of the cession of Trentino to Italy, has consented to grant to Trentino an autonomous locul administration, separate from the German tyrole of which it has hitherto formed a part. The members of the Italian tyrole will henceforth assemble at, Trent. The diet at Innsbruck Hupported the separation. Emperor

Francis Joseph has also ordered the release of several 1 rredentista imprisoned at Innsbruck, including K'jssi and Z-im-pieri, editors of the Italian Indepeudente, who were convicted of treason. These concessions amount practically to little. If the Innabruck diet hud not voted for the separation of Trentino Kmperor Francis Joseph would not have acceded to the proposal. A further reason for his giving his assent is that by doing so, a stop was put to the maneuvering of Signor Crispi, the Italiun premier, for the annexation of Trentino to Italy. Sigfior Crispi has now abandoned his plan of visiting Prince 15ismarck at Friedrichsruhe. Although the quotation of the Bulgarian loan has been stopped Count Kalnoky permitted the landerhank yesierdav to advance 5,000,000 francs to the government at Sofia. His policy continues to be to secure a tighter grip upon the Bulgarian government, with or without Prince Ferdinand, who, wroth ut the change in his personal situation, threatens to resign. I lussia, behind a peaceful diolornatic mask, does not cease her masking of troops upon her frontiers. Within three weeks eight regiments of cavalry and six of infantry have been added to the troops stationed on the Galician and Bukovinnn frontiers. The work of railway extension in the Vilua, Kovno, Warsaw and KiefT lines is being accelerated in order that thu stragetic nystem may be completed by May.

The newd from lint/.il is watched with intense interest. Public opiuion tentls to doubt the permanence of the republic. The North (larman Gazette, referring to the probable necessity of sending war ships to protect German intereats, says: "Though the Brazilians dislike the sight of blood, the revolt may yet endanger the lives of foreign resident. The present wielders of power must be warned to avoid measures that must force European states to interfere to jirotec'. their countrymen." The Kreuz Xiitung holds that Lite recognition of the republic is impossible on the mere success of apronunciamento that the voice of a conPtituent assembly must first be heard. Cable dispatches to Hamburg firms assert that the new ministry is divided by fierce persona! quarrels that General Da Fonseca's dictatorial manners irritate his colfeagues. and that his resignation is de6ireti. Any such item indicating a want of cohesion in the new government of .Brazil finds prominence in the semi oflicial press here. A prediction which finds some credence is that the republic will break into threestates,equatorial, central and southern, the latter having a lBrge German population, claiming the protection of the fatherland. On the bourse, following the Paris impulse, Brazilian loans were sold heavily, as were also shares of the banks concerned therein. The Deutsche bank lias thought it necessary to issue a notice stating that it is not interested in Brazilian finances. The members of the Cobourg family, who are related to Dom Pedro met at Vienna yesterday to coneider what action they should take in the event of the appearance of symptoms of a monarchist reaction. Telegrams from Lisbon were read at the meeting, expressing hope of the restoration of the monarchy. The family feeling is in favor of an attempt to place Dom Pedro's sailor grandson, Prince Pedro, upon the throne. It has been decided, however, to await the arrival of the ex-iU-d emperor.

The German court will leave Potsdam on Thursday uud come to Berlin for the winter season, which promises to be the most brilliant ever known to the empire and to make up for the long succession of periodsof mourning. Numerous fetes will be given at theSchloss. Household .Minister Paesdortl" hBS advised the diplomatic corps of the changes in ceremonial etiquette at court ordered by the emperor. No details have escaped him.

Kmperor William's visit to Darmstadt is lixed for the 8ih. Th* emperor intends to quarrel with the grand duke of II esse for the part taken by him in the Morier affair.

The emperor still withholds his assent to the betrothal of his sister Margaret to the czfuewitch. Prince Bismarck is reported as approving the match. Tne princess herself is willing since meeting tier suitor at Athens. The reluctance of the emperor is attributed to the weakly constitution of the czarewitch. The fact that the princess is a Lutheran is no obstacle to the match, as she is ready to join the Greek orthodox churcb.

Prince Bismarck is expected to take part in the debate on the second reading of the socialist bill in the reichstag on

st,

7^

Tuesday. The elections in Berlin for renewing one-third of the members of the municipal council resulted in the return of thirty-four Progressists and six Socialists. No Conservative was returned in spite of oflicial support. There was a large increase in the Socialist vote.

In the reichetag to-day, Herr Singer challenged the truth of Count Herbert Bismarck's statement that the Wohlgemuth incident had been closed with Switzerland. On the contrary, he said, the socialists had reason to know that pressure was still being brought to bear upon Switzerland against the socialists. Count Herbert replied that the Swiss government was actively submitting socialists to the laws aDd that Germany had now nothing to complain of.

MORS TROUBLE AT SAMOA-

There is Doubt as to AVho is Kliiy ol tlio Islands. AIMA, Samoa, November o—\ ia steamer Zaalandia to San Francisco.—Notwithstanding the provisional election held here by the natives last month, which resulted in the choice of Mataafu as kiDg and Malietoa as vice king, the followers of Tamasese last week elected Malietoa king and Tamasese as vice king. Ail foreign residents of Apia are anxious to have the question as to who shall be ruierof Snmon settled by the three nations represented in the recent Berlin conference. The selection of Mataafa last month waa a mere temporary arrangement, and the natives look to the three powers to settle the difliculty for them. There has been no trouble among natives recently, and reports sent out from here a month ago saying there WHS lighting on the islands were not correct.

Considerable alarm has been felt here on account of the death of several sailors on the German man-of-war Sophie and the report that their death was caused by typhus fever.. A number of other sailors were ill and the Germans established a hospital on shore for their accommcdutioD. The American and British residents became alarmed and complained to their respective consuls, who a&ked the captain of the Sophie for uii explanation, [n his reply to Consul Biacklock, the captain admitted the malady was typhus fever, but subsequently the surgeons of the Sophie and the United States steamer Adams and a resident German physician held a consultation and pronounced the disease a Samoan fever known as "Tota Vela" or "Hot Blood." The Sophie's surgeon attributed it to the decaying substances of the wrecks of the Trenton and the other war vessels lost in the hurricane last March. However, the Germans removed the Bick soilors to a remote part of town, where two of them have since died.

A boot containing nine men of the Flying Venus from Puget sound for Melbourne, which was wrecked at. Penryhn island, arrived here two weeks ago. The Flying Venus was about four miles from lund when she struck on a coral patch. The vessel soon went to pieces, and oil hands escaped to land. Nine of the crew came here in a small boat, and the British consul here has sent a schooner to Penryhn island for the others. The schooner has not yet returned.

The Troubles at Havana.

JACKsu.Nvn.i.K, Fla., November 23 The Bteamship Olivette, of the Plant company, arrived at Key West to-day directly from Havana, and brings reliable informal ion concerning the troubles there, which are of riotous rather than of an insurrectionary character. The disturbance is confined to riots in San Cristobet, owing to difference arising among aldermen there relative so enforcement of a city ordinance. The mayor called out the military and the riot was quelled after two men had baen killed and several others wounded. All other participontH were arrested. On November'21, at Matunzas, the military interfered with civil authorities, which so incensed the latter that riot ensued. Then two regiments of Spanish soldiers met during the riot on the street and fought, creating much excitement. The fight became general, and one oflicer and three men were killed and many more wounded. Trouble still exists in and around Matanzae, though no serious fighting has occurred since Thursday.

Wnolt'Milo Poisoning of Husband*. VIKNNA, November 23.—The Nagy Becskerek inquiry, which has been going on for the last, seven years, with the object of discovering the causes of a lorge number of sudden deaths that have occurred there, has resulted in proving that thirty-eight of the victims were poisoned.

This information be communicated to the state* department, and it is reported that he urged upon the secretary the expedience of this government in instructing Minister Adams to complete the act of formal recognition. While it is doubtless felt by the s-ate department that the republic of the United States of Brazil has been established upon a permanent basis, it is probable the act of formally recognizing the Rspublican minister will be postponed until there is an oflicial head or chief executive chosen in pursuonce of some regular method. A meeting of congress in Brazil has beeti called for next month when the new republic will probably be launched with a complete organization. When that is accomplished the question of formal recognition by this government will probably not be delayed.

31 U.S. SOUTHWOBTH.

Tlie New York Woman Who Killed Fettus is Prostrated. NEW YORK, November '23.-—Mrs. Hannah B. Southworth, who murdered Stephen L. Pettus yesterday, Bpent a very restless night in her cell. This morning there was a slight improvement in her condition. The city physician has gfven orders that Mrs. Southworth be kept aa quiet as possible and in consequence the prison warden has issued peremptory orders that no one outside of the woman's counsel and relatives be permitted to see her. The warden stated that it was expected that Mrs. Southworth would be much quieter by to-morrow, and might then be inclined to tulk about the tragedy. Counsel for the murderess called at the prison early to-day, and talked with bis client for along time. When seen later on and questioned as to the line of defense, if any, which had been determined upon, he replied that the defenEe undoubtedly wouid be insanity. There wa3 no doubt, Mr. Hummell Eaid, that Mrs. Southworth was insane. His client was incohorent in her statements to-day, the result of the great shock her nervous system had sustained but in a day or two she would be more rational. A& matters stands Mrs. South worth's statement of her many wrongs is quite clear enough to enable couusel to grapple with the case.

Mr. W. N. MartiD, the woman's brother, was among her early callers. It was with this brother that Mrs. Southworth lived. The scene between brother and sister is described as of a most affecting character. She seemed to forget her position, as almost all iier inquiries were made concerning her mother.

Numbersof curious persons visited the Tombs court this morning, thinking Mrs. Southworth would be brought there. They were disappointed. Next Tuesday she will be Bt the inquest.

DEADLY I E DISASTER.

Fire in the Greatest System of

Copp?r Mines in the World.

MA.NY LIVES LOST AND MUCH DESTRUCTION.

Heroic Eiforts ol Volunteers to Save the Men Caugiit in the Fiery Furnace.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., November 23.—

An Examiner special from Butte, Mont.,

says: Fire caught this morning in the Croscutt on the live hundred foot level

of the St. Lawrence mine and the draft is blowing it into the Anaconda work­

ings. Great volumes of smoke is issuing from the Anaconda shaft. Patrick

Murphy, Henry Page, Jerry Sullivan and

Tim Keliher are known to be suffocated in the Anaconda. .A man could not live two minuter in any part of the mine. The worst results are feared.

The Hames were discovered by Ne&l McCabe, a miner working on the SOU foot level of the St. Lawrence mine, in a cross cut, and after an unsuccessful attempt to suppress the apparently EIUSII fire with his coot, he got help and the men tried to drown out the flames. They were soot: driven out of the mine by neat and smoke, and aa the fire occurred at .1 o'clock .in the morning, between change of shifts, only a few were down, all of whom got out safely. There WHS a quantity of powder in the lower levele, and to save the mines from disaster by its explosion several men volunteered to remove it. A current of air from the lower level to the Anacondu sucked the workings of the former clear of smoke, while «arrying the fire to the Anaconda. The Anaconda consisted almost entirely of timbers above the 500 foot level up, and the result of the burning of these timbers will be a cave in of disastrous proportions. Although the presence of a large amount of carbonic acid gas made it very dangerous the men willingly volunteered to take the risk. Two trip3 were made successfully but the third was fatal in two cases. Keller, a brakeman, was overcome on the cage coming up and fell back into the shaftJohn Lyons wa3 also overcome and fell on the cage, his head striking the timbers when near the top and fracturing the skull. Pat Murphy and llenry Page were overpowered at the S00 foot level. Other men went down to save them, but had to leave them, having a narrow escape themselves from suffocation. The latest report is that there are nine men belonging to the mine unaccounted for, and they are undoubtedly dead by this time. Incendiarism or carelessness are the two causes assigned for the fire. The Anaconda mines constitute the greatest system of copper mines in the world, and the capital is estimated at 320,000,000.

TOOL MANUFACTURERS COMBINE.

A Her«»lv«r Asked For.

A suit that has been anticipated for some time was filed in the United States circuit court this morning against the Ohio, Indiana A- Western, asking the appointment of a receiver, 6ays the Indianapolis News. The complainant in the cause is the Central trust company, of New York, which ljolds the first mortgage bonds of the road. The bill of complaints, a printed! pamphlet of twenty pnges, recites the financial history of the road, and asks the judge of this I'nited States circuit to appoint a receiver for the property ut once, and to order it read for the benefit of the bondholders. The suit indicates that the recent transfer of the road to the Big Four was not satisfactory to the first mortgage bondholders. When the Big Four assumed control of the line it was intimated that the deal was not in accordance with the wishesof the first mortgage bondholders, and that the Central trust company might be expected to wreck the arrangement within a short time. The suit brings to light another important fact, and that ie, the Big Four did not purchase the line outright, but merely leased it. The present suit is an important one. It may mean that the Big Four system will lose the line entirely, and if such ehould be the result, it will be interesting to see what sort of an alliance the road will make after again going into the hands of a receiver.

The November Settlement of County

Taxes Makes a Good Showing.

THE FIGURES FROM THE COUNTY TREASURER'S BOOKS.

Mr. Miller and Sis Forged DeedOthsr Local News.

County Treasurer Conzman has completed the November settlement for collection of taxes with the county auditor. He has collected $128,000, which is less than the amount usually collected on the November installment of taxes. He accounts for this by the fact that the spring collection was unusually large, larger than ever known in this county. The November installment is the last for the taxes of 1S38, and the total collections make a good showing in comparison with previous years. The amount of delinquencies for this makes an equally good showing. Although the amount of taxable property for the year 1SS8 was increased, ihe taxes have been paid with unusual promptness, and the amount of delinquent tax is correspondingly decreased, as will be shown by the following table, which shows the delinquent taxes for the y«ar 1S88, and the total delinquency. It will also be seen that "old delinquencies" have been reduced. iKi.i.syi'KN'r TAM-'S MM I^N". April Installment $ 07 November installment November, not delliuiuriit
