WASIIISOTOX , I ) . 0. , Nov. 5. Dr. Mott
Smith , minister of finance of Hnwalta , who
Is on a special mltslon to this government ,
nrrlvod \Yiuhliigton today from Now
York , accompanied by B. 1C. Hlshop of
Honolulu , who Is an ox-mombor of the cabl-
ncn and at present prosldont of the Hoard
of Education , Dr. Smith called on
Secretary Ulalne this morning. His
special mUslon U to secure some
motllllcntlotis of the reciprocity treaty now
lu force between this country nnd Hawaii ,
the operations of which , so far as Hawaii Is
concerned , have been seriously affected by
the operations of the now Culled States
tariff law. As this law grants n bounty to
producers of sugar In this country , the
benellts heretofore reaped by the Hawaiian
producers from thu free admission of their
sugarlnto the United States under the pro
visions of the treaty , are negatived.
Dr. SinUi ! will also call to the attention
of the secretory of stale the matter of
layintrn cable between the United States and
Honolulu. The government of Hawaii , he
says , Is roadv to pay a subsidy to any com
pany establishing a cable bctwoen the two
countries. '
' \ ho annexation fooling , Ur. Smith thinks ,
Is based more on n wish to participate In the
commercial oonollu to bo derived therefrom
than from any hope of political aggrandize
ment.
From the toner of Ills conversation It Is
nvldont tliat Dr. Smith has no fear of En
glish Interference In the affairs of the Island.
In regard to the reports of serious Illness
of Queen I.llluohni , Ur. Smith pronounced
them as all humbug. The quecd has not
turned 50 years of ago She has never been
seriously Hi In her life and now suffers only
from colds or other slight Indispositions inci
dent to persons of ago. The uueen , the doe-
tor explained , Is often confounded with the
queen dowager , who recently suffered from a
stroke of psralysU.

LA HAUTE , III. . Nov.I. . The sandstone
tablets recently discovered several feet in
the virgin soil umlor nn old decayed stump
on a farm near here , contain characters that
are attracting the attention of naturalists and
antiquarians. The two tablets are of sand
stone cloven by ton and a half inches thick.
Ono end Is Inscribed with some unin
telligible words and in Roman capi
tals , the date , Juno 11 , 1715. Lying
on the edge of thu tablets and partially
overlapping thorn were found n Hint arrow
head and three Hint sprawls , doubtless the
Instruments with which the lettering was
cut. The lettering Is fairly well executed.
The tablets on the reverse sldo show the
wear from water and other natural elements ,
showing that they were originally the ex
posed sides of n glacial houldoiv
The theory is that the tablets are the work
of some Ignorant follower of LnSallo and
Tonti , who established a military post called
Fort Croveeoour , whore Pcnria now is.
On January II , KiSi ) , LaSallo , while explor
ing the Mississippi river , left the fort and
men under command of It wiry Tonti , an
Italian. A few years later , proUably In
1087 , while Tonti and LaSallo wore both
absent from the fort , most of the men , doubtless -
loss Ignorant Frenchmen from Normandy , re
volted , nnd leaving ttio fort , took with them
tools nnd provisions. They became llko the
savages , no doubt joining the Indians , so that
twenty-eight years after the revolts sumo
ono of Tonti's followers doubtless drifted
down to this spot and after patiently etching
out these mysterious letters on thu tablets ,
Purled them , together with the rude tools
.with which they did the work. The taolots
have been sent to the Smithsonian Institu
tion nt Washington for inspection.

Rio JAXEiuo. Nov. 5 , Now York Herald
Cable Special to Tun BHK. ] It may bo
that Brazil Is on the brink of another revolu
tion. Matters certainly look dark enough nt
present. The fight so long maintained be
tween congress on the ono side nud Presi
dent Doodoro dn I ouscca and the govern
ment on the other has reached a culmination.
For quite a tlmo their differences were over
llnnnclal affairs. Measures pressed by the
legislature were vetoed by the chief magi
strate and changes advocated by the presi
dent were voto'l down uy congress. Re
cently nn attempt has been made to curb the
power of the chief 'executive. The fact
that ! Da IVonseca is a military man
has led many to fear , or to pretend to ,
that ho will proclaim himself dictator. To
prevent any such contingency , congress n
short tlmo ago passed u law llxing process of
impeachment of the president. Da Fonseca
vetoed the measure. His veto was consid
ered in n heated session which resulted in
the carrying of n motion to override the veto.
As soon as this action of the national legisla
ture was made known to Da Fonsocn ho bc-
came very much excited and thereupon dis
solved congress. His decree to that effect
was mudo public yesterday. Martial law
has been proclaimed throughout Rio
Janeiro and the other states
fonnintr the confederacy. What
ton upshot will bo no ono
can say. The feeling hero Is ono of grout
fear of what may follow. The dissolution of
congress may result In the cnoice of another
president. Da l-'onsoca was not chosen by
the people , but by congress. It was believed ,
on account of his health that he would not
remain In ofllco longer ihan lt.was necessary
to establish order after the dethronement of
Dotn Pedro , but ho has evinced no disposi
tion since to resign.
No candidate as yet has been prominently
brought forward as his successor. At ono
tlmo it was thought that benor Pvesidento
Jose do Moraes Barrocs , senator for tns state
of San Panllo , who was the opposing candi
date for the ofllco after Dom Pedro's ' over
throw would follow Da Fonsoca into the
presidency. In case of an uprising Da
b'onscca would have to all appearances the
array nnd navy solidly at bh back. The vlco
prosldont Is also n general. The opposition
to military rulers continues very marked.
All cable and telegraph messages are sub
jected to censorship. The same is true of
news ngencios. The legislature is modeled
on thn' , of the United States. There are 220
senators and deputies. Senators are elected
for nine yours and deputies for three years.

Opinion of an Eminent Brazilian on
the Present Troutilo.
NEW YOIIK , Nov. 5. Senor do Paulo
Collho , editor of the United States of Brazil
and , until Dom Pedro's overthrow , an exile
from Brazil , u promoter of Aroerico-Brazillan
enterprises and n constant correspondent of
the most important ofllcials at Rio ,
said this afternoon relative to the
troubles now existing In Brazil :
"There is no revolution in Brazil nor
will there be ono. I don't hesitate to say
that the existing troubles may DO traced to
the English and their chagrin at the treaty
of reciprocity recently made with this
country. Ever since President Fonseca
signed the treaty English agents hove been
howling Into the oars of the younger con
gressmen the great Injustice done to Brazil
nnd the vast sums of money thereby lost ,
andit : > eoms not without olToct.Thus Impelled
the younger congressmen have carried on the
light , nnd In some respects It resembled the
Plnu-Conklinp Incident of a few years ago
here. When this became apparent
to Fonseca he said to those
congressmen : 'Go ! ' And to prevent the
sending of unfounded nnd lying reports
bo placed a censorship on the cubic , etc.
They say ho wants to succeed himself , but it
is nil bosh. Soon the smoke will clear awny
and you will find the outcome to bo ono of
pence and progress. The markets are opened
to America nnd England is as over envious
but dlscrcot.
LONDON" , Nov. fi. Very little news Is ob
tainable hero in regard to the revolution In
Brazil. The continued 111 health of Presi
dent Da Fonsoca and political intrigues
as to the choice of his successor are said to
bo at the bottom of the uprising. It Is said
there has been lighting In the streets of Rio
do Janeiro , but the report cannot bo verified.
Order Heinn jVIutiitilnnd : A Now
Klccthm Called.
WASIMSOTO.V. D. C. , Nov. 5. The Depart
ment of State has roco'vcd n cablegram from
Minister Conger confirming the report of the
dissolution of congress and declaring martial
law in Brazil. The disturbed state of affairs
In Brazil is viewed with deep concern , in
view of the Importance of American Interests
in that country nnd close trade relations with
It. There Is reason to believe the revolution
ary movement Is being fomented by a consid
erable party , which seeks to re-establish the
monarchlal' form of government in Brazil.
The movement will probably load to tlio
ordering of some more naval vessels to points
where trouble Is threatened.
Rio JAXKIUO , Nov. fi. It Is ofllciolly an
nounced that the president has convened the
nation to elect now representatives at a date
to bo determined upon later.
The federal capital ( Rio Janeiro ) and the
town of Nlcthoroy ( or Praia Grande ) have
boon declared to bo in a state of slogo for
two months , The president has been pro
voked to take these stops by the proceedings
of congress nnd by the effort * of the promoters
meters of a restoration to overthrow repub
lican Institutions.
The president In a manifesto Issued to the
nation declares himself to have been fully
judstiflod In taking the steps referred to ,
The army and navy support tbo government
and public tranuuillty according to the of
ficial announcement , Is perfect throughout
the states. In conclusion It Is said that
the government Is ready to maintain
order by overv moans , that tbo constitution
will be respected and that the government
will alto bo answerable for all national on-
gnccmente. The governors of the loading
provinces have congratulated President Da
Fonseca upon his success In maintaining
Situation Unchanged.
Rio JANKIHO , Nov. 5. The general situa
tion Is unchanged. The crisis arose from
the oongresa accusing President D Fonsoca
with baring unwarrantably assumed sorer-

were a watch chain to which ho had
fastened a musket ball , being too poor
to buy u watch. The king , having hoard
of this , wished to expose him to ridicule.
Stopping up to the soldier , ho said :
"Sergeant , you must have boon eco
nomical ; I see you wenr a watch ; mine
tolls mo it is 6 o'clock ; how much is
yours ? "
The soldier , guessing the intention of
the king , but nothing daunted , immedi
ately drew forth the ball , saying :
"Your majesty , my watch is neither 5
nor 0 o'clock , but it tolls mo as often as
J look at it that I must ba over roudy to

Intl. . Nov. f . During th $

square miles to which the state of Ohio lay *
claim. Thu strip described Includes the
cities of Fort Way no , Richmond and I'nlou

and Fort Wnvno wore left on the Indiana

complicated one , for should Ohio's claim on
Indiana bo enforced Indiana uould , on thu

Illinois.

ho is what might bo culled a curio. The
word cniio is not ono of my own coining ,
as 1 hnvo no dies with which to coih
words. Governor Flower is abotit seven
foot three inches long , four hands hign
and can grunt with a general air of sat
infliction and abandon. I call him Gov
ernor Flower because ho runs so fast.
As 1 am informed , there is no other
resemblance. In North Carolina
if a brief digression will bo
allowed , wo name things after great men
exclusively. Wo have the Zob Vance
corn sheller , Xoh Vance Hour , and Gov
ernor IloU has given a tosUmoninl concerning -
corning the wonderful curative powers
of certain waters found in a certain
sprinjr. As it costs $7 to see the spring
and $24 to drink some of the water , my
nursuit has been in Ilnding stills and
drinking whisuy. Up to date , however ,
I have not been asked to give a testimonial
menial concerning tlio corn lluid which
will embalm and intoxicate you at the
same time.
But all great men have things named
after 'oni'down hero. Iain told that u
gentleman who has a stock farm near
Durham has named his most aggravat
ing jackass Colonel Klliotl F. Shopard.
And lo add to this harrowing fact the
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals lias not objected.
I have immcU another of my ra/.orback
hogs Moon , in honor of the gentleman
who presided with such dignity over the
ruins of Damiemora prison. The reason
I n annul him Moon was bocutiho it has
boon impossible to investigate him.
Another one 1 shall name in honor of
myself.
Tno ra/.orbrick hog is a cross between
a paint brush , a hyena and a doublo-
shovel plow. Last season I broke thirty-
two acres of ground with Governor
Flower and Colonel Moon. The military
title is gratuitous , although the last-
named hog was in the revolutionary war
and in all my neighbors' gardens , in
writing an article for the public prints ,
and especially for a paper which In road
by people , it is my desire to toll the
truth. So what i relate will bo sworn
toby my circulation liar , and. of course ,
must be accepted.
The three hogs slept in n ravine , and
at nights , when the world in general in
snoring , those hoys have whut would
have been called in Komo a gladiatorial
