Republican Ideas \u2014 Rio Janeiro in a State of Blege\u2014)Martial Law Proclaimed, Troops Ordered Out, \u2014\u2014 Rio Janeiro, Brazil, Nov.6.\u2014 President Decdoro da Fonseca has been proclaimed dictator.The troops are now guardiag all the streets and public buildings.a strict censorship of all telegraphic messages bas been established and details ofthe atate of affairs are not allowed to pass.In Rio Grande do Salthe news has caused a most unfavorable impression, Great anxiety is felt as to the result of Fonteca\u2019s proclamation and the dissola.tion of Congress.It is officiaily announced that the Pre- tident has convened the nation to elect new representatives at a date to ba determined upon later, The Governors of the leading provinces have congratulated President Fonseca upon his success in maintaining order.The federal eapital, Rio J.aneiro, and the town of Nictheroy, or Praia Grande, five miles east of the capital, have been declared to be in a state of siege for two months.The President has been provoked to take these steps by the proceedings of Congress, and by the efforts of the promoters of a restoration to overturn republican institutions, Fonseca, in & manifesto issued to the Nation, declares himself to be fully justified in taking the steps referred to.The army and nayy sapport the Giv- ernment, and public tranquility, according to the official announcement, ig perfect threughout the States.In conclusion, it ig said that the Government is ready to maintain order by every means, that the constitution wiil be respected and that the Government will also be answerable for all national engagements, .Fonseca, in his manifesto, says that he will govern in accordance with the constitution.The National Guard has been mot; 'ized in the province of Rio Grande.Vus troops are in their quarters.An outbreak is feared, owing to the infla- ence of the opposition.Commercial interests in Rio are not affected, What Led te the Trouble, VaALPARAISO, Chili, Nov, 6\u2014Advices by wire from Rio J aneiro, Brazil, give further details of the causes that have led to the trouble between Congress and President Fonseca.It seems to have had its origin in a row that broke out in the Legislative Chamber, The Senate passed a bill to establish the responsibility of the President for his different acts, This act met with Fon-e- ca\u2019s violent disapprobation and he refused toaccept what he termed any such dictation as to his right and duties from Congress.* He ordered the troops under arms throughout Rio on Nov.4, and this led to intense excitement among the populace.Bands of opponents of the government, -nclading old republicans and monarchists, assembled and shouted out their disapproval, Between them and the soldiery many fights took place.Riots broke out in the streets all over the city.The troops were then given orders to fire upon the rioters, which they did, Many of tne rebels were killed.Rio was now practically in a state of siege.It was not safe to etir ont of doors.Soldiers patrolled the gt oets, Marshal law was proclaimed.As in previous cages a strict censorship of the press was established.All communication by telegraph was stopped.A spirit of revolt manifested itself in the army, When Fonseca was informed of thig fact he went at once to the troops and made them a stirring addresa, promising to guard their interests and to protect them in all their rights, His words had a good effect.The unruly spirits were completely brought around to his side, and at the end of his addrees loudly cheered him, TLe chief of the army then requested Fonseca to resume the functions of a dice tator, saying that the emergency demanded it.He appeared to demur for & time, but at length gave his consent.He then issued a decree relating the causes of disagreement between him and Congress and defending his position.At the same time he declared that Congress had gone so far in its attempts to interfere with his prerogatives that the hereby dissolved it.It had no longer any excuse for existing, he said, since it was passing laws that were contrary to the constitution.This occurred on Tuesday, The troops yesterday morning marched to the palace, where President Fonseca was holding à conference with his military commanders.A conference of the ministers was also inprogress.At 9 a.m.Fonseca\u2019s decree Was made public.Ae said that the dictatorship was to last until the political revolutions were at an end and lawmakers learned to keep in progress with Republican ideas.dictatorship, he added, was the very best thing for the distract.d country.He disclaimed apy intention of prolonging it after peace bad been restored throughout the country.elegrams received from Porto Alegro, in the State of Rio Grands do Sal, declare that the authority of the dictator is not recognized there.Alegru nas a poou- lation of some 30,000 inhabitants, Rio Grande de Bul is one ofthe most prosperous and independent of all the states.It has à population of nearly 700,000.The republicans in it say.that thes will not tolerate a dictators ip, and are pe Si MONTREAL,

has pronounced in favor of Fonseca.Rio is now quiet.It is believed that the revolt will be put down and that peace will be restored at an early date.Fonseca\u2019s 111 Health, LoxpoN, Nov.6.\u2014Very little news is obtainable here in regard to the revolution in Brazil, for it is now generally admitted that another political upheaval of an important nature is 1n progress, Only traffic cable messages are allowed by the Brazilian authorities to be transmitted to Europe, and even these messages are carefully studied by the officials so as make sora that trey are not cipher despatchas.The latest cable news received in this city before the censorship was estab- iisbed over the telegraph offices in Bra.211 was to the effect that there was no room for doubting that a revolution had broken out.Rio Janeiro, the capital, Fes Said to be full of soldiers quartered in the barracks, in the public buildings, | camped in the public squares and billeted upon the hotels and other such Dlaces, The continued ill health of President Fonseca and political intrigues as to the choice of his successor are said to be at the bottom of the uprising, lt is said that there has been fighting in the streets of Rio Janeiro, but the report cannot be verified.It is rresumed that this fact bas become public, and that it has led tothe outbreak which has been smouldering for some time past, and which owed its origin to the jealousies of political parties and to the intrigues of public men ambitious to get to the Presidency.In addition to these disturbing factors in Brazilian affairs there it the working of the old Dom Pedro party, which still counts for a great deal in the affairs of the Brazilian Republic.Little or no news as to the real state of affairs at Rio Janeiro can be obtained under the present condition.The News at Washington, WasnineroN, Nov.6\u2014The news of the civil trouble in Brasil was ra- ceived with peculiar interest atthe State Department to-day because of its possible bearing upon elaborate plans of Pas American reciprocity, which have thu far been carried out by Secretary Blaine.If British influence should become paramount in the new republic it might lead to the speedy abrogation of the reciprocity treaty which was recently ac - cepted by the Brazillan Congress.t is we]l known here that the English tradesmen in Rio de J aneiro, who are numerous and influential, have done all they could to prejudice the treaty and break down American influence, and it will not be surprising to learn that they have enlisted one of the pclitical factions on their side, Minister Conger confirms the substance of the despatches, that trouble has broken out, and that the country has been placed under martial AW.He regards the outbreak as part of a ptotto restore the Empire.The news is somewhat disappointing to those who have locked upon Brazil as firmly established among republican States, and they are at a loss to understand how sentiment can have grown so rapidly in favor of the imperialists.The Braziliars may have been a little disappointed to find that we ware simply using a treaty with them to outflank Spein in our efforts for Caban trade, but the Republicans among them are probably willing to see the arrangement fairly tried before abandoning it.Senhor Mendonca is a pronounced Republican and was sent here in place of Senhor Valente last winter because of his sympathy with Rep ubnicauinstitntions.San- bor Valente, with his monarchial forms, was sent 10 Vienna, which is one of the most Conservative courts in Europe.\u2014 Hawaii\u2019s Representative in Washington.WAssINGTON, Nov.6\u2014Dr.Mott Smith, of Hawaii, has arrived in Washington and will represent Hawaiian interests until a duly accredited minister is ap- appointed.Dr.Smith was ment to Washington by the Queen of the Sand- \u2018wich Islands to represent that government during Minister Carter's illnes, and it is believed that he will succeed to the place made vacant by the death of Mr.Carter.Dr.Smith is intrasted with a Special mission to have this count place a bounty on imported Hawaiin sugar, 80 a8 to place Hawaii on the footing it oecapied when sugar was admitted free and the sugar of other countries was subject to duty.In regard to the reports of the serious illness of Queen Liliuokalani, Dr, Smith pronounced them as \u201call humbugs.\u201d - The Queen bas now turned 50 years of age.She has never been seriously ill in her life, and now suffers only from colds or other slight indispositions incident to persons of her age.The Queen, tbe doctor said, is always confounded with the Queen Dowager, who recently suffered from a stroke of paralysis.Ballimore\u2019s New Sugar Refinery Sold, BarrimorE, Nov.6,\u2014The control of the new Baltimore sugar refinery passed yesterday into the hands of a syndicate of New York and Boston capitalists, who were represented in the transaction by William De Ford of Baltimore.Some time ago Mr.De Ford purchased for his principals $150,000 of the capital stock of the refinery, and yeaterdav he secured for them $400,000 additional, aggregating $550,000 of the entire capital stuck of $1,000,000, thereby obtaining a controlling interest in the refinery.The price paid for the stock was $110 per share.Its par value is $100.The sale of the refinery was agreed to by the stockholders, and the stock sold will be taken from all pro rata.No individual stockholder will part with all his holding.A director of the refinery said: \u201cThe time has arrived when mors money is needed to carry on the busi- pees, The purchasers have obligated themselves to furnish the capital and increase the output of the refinery to 2000 barrels a day.They are relatives and friends of Mr.De Ford.He says he is not acting for the trust,and I believe him,\u201d ÉVIDENCE ALL IN The Royal Commission Win Meet To-day, but Only te Formally Close, NBXT WILL BE THE REPORT.Pacaud Explains That the Items Referring to the Revision of the Hlectoral Lists Were Almost Impossible to Prepare With Absolute Accuraey\u2014Lights Evidence Confirmed by Englaueer Leduc, FROM OUR OWN REPORTER.QuEsec, Nov.6\u2014This, Mcording to Judge Davidson, ie the lastgluy of tus commission's toil.To-morrow he expects that they will meet merely proforma to declare the evidence closad and possibly announce their intentions with reference to a prospective report which will finally settle th.much-can- vass ed \u201cscandal.\u201d The proceeedings commenced at 11 8.m.to-day.Mr.Pacaud was the firat to speak.He took the stand merely to produce the additional statement which he promised yesterday.He explained thatthe items referring to the revision of the electoral lists were almost impossible to prepare with absolute accuracy, though the whole statement was complate and explicit.Mr.Leduc, Armstrong\u2019 engineer, was next heard, His evidence corroborated that of Mr.Light as to the duties performed by both these engineers in the construction of the Baie des Chaleurs roed.His (Leduc\u2019s) estimates always paesed through Mr, Light's hands and were revised by him, as he testified yesterday.His estimate of the total cost of construction showed Armstrong\u2019s work to have been worth $1,250,000 in all.Asto the certificates which Mr.Light was unable to produce before the Senate, be (Leduc) did not know where they now were, but belieyed them to be in the possession of the old company.To Mr.Beique he said that the profits realized by the chief contractors on the work dore by the sub-contractors were only about 20 per cent.He also held that the contraciors assumed heavy responsibilities, for which they should have large remunerations, Mr.Leduc agreed with Cure Thivierge and the other witnesses fron Bonaventure as to the gatisfactory pi ogress which was being made toward tiie completion of the road.Witness estimated thate with the Government guarantee thy bonds of the road were now worth a least 75 cents on the dollar.At Mr.Casgrain\u2019s request Mr, Guenier, clerk of the Executive Council, produced the documents, being the oatns of the Provincial Ministers with and without portfolio.Mr.J.E.Langelier then submittad further documentary evidence relating to his appointment as Commissioner of the Baie des Chalsvrs road.Hs identified the letter written by himself to l\u2019Etendard which was fyled as eviden:> before the Senate.Mr.Murray, of the C, P, R.T-legraph Co.,produced four telegrams oriered oy the commiss.on, which he said were aii thet remained in his office.When these formalities had been dis posed of Mr.Francois Langelier took the stand.He confirmed absolutely the evidence given by Messrs.Mercier, Charles Langelier and others as to the disposal of the notes left by the Premier.Mr.Lsngelier swore positively that the first intimation he received of this Pacaud-Armstrong deal was from Mr.Baker, M.P.for Missisquoi, before the Privileges and Elections Committes.Moreover he affirmed that he never rae ceived a cent of the $100,000 exploited by Pacaud.As to the notes left by Mr.Mercier he could not remember the details of their distribution.He only knew they were used for contestation deposits.The Commission here adjourned till 2.30 p, m., deciding to take an additional balf hour for luncheon, the remaining evidence demanding no-urgent hasta, After luncheon Mr.C.G.Langlois, advocate, appeared on behalf of Mr.Pope, of the G.N.W.TelegraphfCompany, to object to the production of all telegrams dated since May, which may have passed between parties to this trial, on the ground that there were some among them which were entirely foreign to the issue before the Commission.Judge Davidson held however that the Commission would determine the relevancy or otherwise of these despatches, Mr.Pope was thereupon ordered to make diligent search fur telegrams relating to the Baie des Chaleurs trial and produce them to-morrow.Mr.Casgrain then made a move, Which coming at the very close of the enquete, goes to show the straits to which the prosecution are reduced for evidence to support their case.Mr.Casgrain wished to call Mr.Garneau again to prove that he had read a stricture in Le Courrier du Canada which induced him to send for Pacaud before the Armstrong claim bad been paid.Mr.Beique smiled at this motion but promised to have Mr, Garneau appear to-morrow.The proceedings closed at 3 p.m.to-day.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 A Department Clerk 8hot by a Policeman, WasHINGTON, Nov.6.\u2014James M, Miller, a one-armed department clerk, is lying at the point of death 1u Garfield Hospital from a pistol wound at the hands of Policeman Burns, Last night Burns was met by a number of ladies who ars attending a women\u2019s meeting here, who asked the way to their hotel.He escorted them to a military armorv instead and left them.When the ladies, after making inquiries, reached the hotel, they found Burns standing in the doorway brandishing a revolver and defying them to Approach.Mr.Miller passed just then and Burns fired at him, the bullet entering his neck.It took several policemen to overcame Burns, who attemnted to use his pistol again, Burns was loaded up.D He talks and acta like a Crazy map, AFFAIRS AT OTTAWA.Mr, Ouirmet\u2019s Elevation to the Cabinet Not Regarded With Favor, Orrawa, Noy, 6.\u2014The elevation of Mr.Ouimet to à seat in the Cabinet is not regarded with favor in the Conservative circles, as the member for Laval has acquired a reputation as a \u2018\u2019salker\u201d and is Dot popular with the rank and file.But his appointment puts a new phase upon the Chapleau strike.It is now hinted that as Mr, Abbott has induced Mr.Oui- Tpet to enter the Cabinet as a representative of the Montreal district he may defy Mr.Chapieou or drop him altogether.One active ministerialist when told ot Mr, Ovimet\u2019s appointment, evinced dissatisfaction and declared that if Mr, Abbott could do no better than that in the way of recouatraction he should give up the job.\u201cMr.Ouimet'a elevation to the cabinet,\u201d this gentleman said, \u201cwill si- \u2018ence the \u2018Riel.ite\u2019 cry which has hitherto been ured with some effect in Ontario.Io fact the cry will be tarned agaist us.Mr.Onimet\u2019s condact in the Northwest was not sach as to sscure for him the admiration of Canadians of Britisn origin, but if his entrance into the calinet will put the Premier into a position to defy Chapieau it will be ao wuch gained.There is little danger of Ouimet letting his portfolio goto please Mr.Chapleau or anybody else.\u201d ! The indications are that Sir Adolphe Caron will sconcesse to be a cabinet minister, unless Mr.Chapleau retire.The custom has been to have three French Canadian minister and now we have Mr.Chapleau and Mr.Ouimet and Sir Adolphe,and if Mr.Angers is to be brought in room must be made for him.Who is going to get out ?If Mr, Angers is to be brought in as the special representative of the Quebec district, then it is clear that Sir Adolphe must go.Perhaps he may get the Quebec lieutenant governorship, though Quebec despatches hint that Mr, Chapleau may succeed Mr Angers as the occupant of Spencerwood, But the general feeling is that tbe en trance of Mr.Ouimet into the cabinet means the speedy retirement of Bir Adolphe, as there would soon be a battle royal if two sueh distinguished warriors held seats in the same ministry.Itis evident that the Conservative leaders are afraid to break with Mr.Haggart.The Postmester General probably knows too much to be safely defied.He is getting upa demonstration at Perth to prove his popularity in South Lanark, The demonstration is to be held on Thursday the 19th instant, and Mr.Haggart's paper announces that Sir John Thompson and Mesa ce Foster,Bowell an 1 Tupper will be present.1tis therefore evident that the Tory leaders intend to bid defiance to Principal Grant and all the other preachers of public morality; by keeping Mr.Haggart to the front as a leading member of the Government, The report circalated by Mr.Chapleau\u2019s friends to the effect that Mr.Chapleau had been promised the portfolio of minister of interior, is denied by other members of the cabinet, who say that the interior would be the very worst possibie department to give him, as 1t has been badly managed hitherto and requires a man of great industry and business at its head.The Ontario Conservatives would also kick vigorously against placing the whole Northwest under Mr, Chapleau\u2019s control.It is evident that if Mr.Chapleau desires to remain in the Abbott ministry he must be content with the office of minieter of mucilage or mucilagenous minister, which ever he pleases, ce.CHILI'S NEW PRESIDENT, \"Admiral Montt will Fill the High Office for Five Years, VALPARAIS3, Nov, 6.\u2014The sweeping Victory of the Liberal party in the recen elections made the elec ion of a Liberal President a foregone conclusion.Ihe Constitution of Chili provides that the electors chogen by the people shall meet and elect a president.In accordance with the provision of this section of the Constitution, the Liberal Presidential electors met yesterday and elected as President of the republic for the next five yeers Admiral Jorge Montt.The inauguration ceremonies will take place at the capital, Santiaga de Chii, on December 26, It is said that the election of Amirall Montt is not only approved by the entire Liberal party, but that the leading members of the other parties acquiesce in his selection, believing that it will tend to consolidate the best interests of the country, It is further believed that with the institution of a constitutional government the questions now at issue between Chili and tde United States will bo more calmly discussed, and that the outcome will be satisfactory to both nations.Admiral Montt was a pronounced opponent of the late President Balmaceda, and upon the breaking out of the revolution he took command of the Congress fleet.It was owing in a great measure to hig action that many other naval officers deserted Balmaceda and joined the revolutionists, WasgINGroN, Nov.6\u2014Senor Claudio Vicuns, who before the close of the late war in Chili was elected as the sucsessor ot President Balmaceda, but who is now, owing tothe victory of tho Congress party, a refugee from the conntry, left this city this afternoon for New York, He was accompanied by hig sons, George and Henry, avd by Mr.Custodio Vicuns, late Chilian Minister to Pera and Bolivia.The entire party will sail from New York for Europe on Satarday.Mr, Vicuna said the duration of his stay in Europe would depend upon the condition of affairs 1n his own country.Tonpon, Nov.6.\u2014The election of George Montt as President of Chili is looked upon among South Americans here as a continuation of the polley of the Junta, of which from the first ha has been the leading spirit, Montt ia described as & resolute, aggressive man, not likely to yield in any controversy, and whose probable course in the difh- culty with the United States is indicated in the position already assumed by the Junta.It is believedithat Montt will bs able to exercise, without going beyoud the letter of the Constitution, greater ower than any former President of hili, having almost unlimited power with {he fleet and the army, te Government members

Exists, Confirming Last Week's Reports of the General Trade Situation, SPRCIAL TO THE HERALD.New York, Nov.6.\u2014Spscial telegrams to Bradstreets are again coufirmatory of the analysis of the state of general trade made public in thess columns during the two preceding weeks, Advices fro.n Memphis, New Orleans and Atlanta.ars of an improving tendency in general trade, although Baltimore, where jobbers feel the pulee of almost all southern mercantile communities, reports business dull, with almost unbroken stocks of dry goods, notions and clothing, only a fair trade in boots and shoes and groceries, and slow collections owing to low prices for cotton and a tendency to hold it for an advance.Few southern discounts are making and extensions are more freely asked.At Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Pittsburg and Cincinnati reports are inthe main far from buoyant, although at all points the outlook is regarded as good.At the west thers is relatively less complaint.Chicago admits a smaller volume but claims to ox- ceed last week\u2019s in a few lines.St.Paul, Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Omaha, Kansas City ana St.Louis make like reports, but most of them admit a notable decline in volume of trade within three weeks Receipts of all grains, except what have increased, and provisions are irregular with a weakening tendency, except for lard.At Cincinnali mercantile cole lections are quite irregular and average slow and unsatisfaciory oftener than otherwise as far as repurted.The New York share market has been depressed by liquidation dae to the bank failure in Boston and the shipment of funds there.This created some pressure in the New York money market, While increases in the gross earnings ofcertain railroads and the declaration of the Pentsylvania dividend on a 6 per cant.basis are favorably regarded, the speculutive temper is dormant, Foreign exchange is higher in Syme pathy with the condition of money markets abroad, butamail amounts of gold continue to come this way.Bank clearir g totals tor October are not satisfactory, being 6.2 per contsmall- er than in October, 1890.Exports of wheat from the United States, both coasts, this week, azgregate 3,820,000 bushels, nearly 500,000 bushels more than last week, due largely to added Pacific coast shipments.Total exports for 19 weeks (to Nov.5) equal 77,- 376,000 bushels, against 34,975,000 buah- els (Montreal included) in à like portion of 1890, Special cable and telegraphic advices enable Bradstreets to point out that the total stocks of wheat available, United States and Canada, were 42,491,- 000 buskels larger than on Nov.1, 1890, and 24,523,000 bushels larger than on Nov.1,1889, In Toronto trade is less active than expected, though dry goods are more active.The wheat movement in Ontario is slow.Barley is going abroad freely, and 1ÿe is high.Montreal reports favorable trade prospects with fair activity in most lines incluling a better demand for grain.Bank clearings at four Canadian cities aggregate, $21,954,758, this week an increase of 19 per cent, compared with last week.The Dominion reports 43 business failures against 37 last week and 37 this week last year.The total number Jan.1 to date is 1557 against 1369 last year.\u2014_\u2014\u2014 GRAVILY CARS RUN AWAY, Another Fatal Accident on the Mt, Pean Road\u2014Wet Leaves to Blame, REanixa, Nov.6,\u2014Another fatal accident took place on a down .train on the Mount Penn Gravity Railroad this afternoon.It resulted in the death of the conductor and the serious injury of three passengers, The crew lost control ot the train of two card near Cemetery Curve, the scenes of the accident in August of last year.The cars went down the mountain at the rate of 25 miles per hour, swinging around Cemetery Curve, and then randow a deep cut.The forward car careened, lett the rails and plunged into a steep embankment.Both cars were wrecked.A huge rock weighing a ton was displaced and fell on the wreck, pinning Conductor

-\u2014A New Boat for Hanlan and O'Conner ~ General Sporting Gossip.* \u2014 A large audience assembled in the Armory Hall last evening to witness the wresliing match which was advertised to take place between John McMahon.champion of the world at cotlar and elbow, and Mr.W.H.Quinn, champion of the Pacific Coast.The men were to wrestle in harness, best two falls out of three, and upon this the whole dispute was bassd.Previous to the contest two three-roun i eettos occurred and they were lively enough.Prof.James Stevenson ani Sailur Brown were the first to come on and the sailor, as usual, attempted his favorite pivot blow, wupo.which he was caught up nicely and pounded on the mose, Stevenson got in scme heavy blows and the last xound particularly was hot and heavy.Charles McDole, of Toronto, and Harry Fowers then came on, and although the formier Lad a disadvantage in weight he wade a good showing, and it was a setto well worth witnessing.The event of the evening which was to ke was then announced.The two wrestiers appeared on the stage, and at the otiset the referee, James Duane, called attention to Quinn's harness, which was adjusted without means of leg straps.The men caught hold, and enceavors at a throw were made on both sider, but it wasevident that with Quinn\u2019s barnees in such state \u201cOld Jonn\u201d had all advantage against him.After wr: stling several minutes, during which time the referee had occasion to fix Quinp\u2019s rig-out, McMahon appeared to know thas he could not work properly and he referred the matter to the referee, who requested Quiun toreadjust his harness or get one with leg straps, but this he refused.McMahon then refused to go on and had good reasons jor so doing.The umpires then got inco digpute and the referee said his only alternative was to declare the match a draw.The audience were dissatisfied; they had come there to see a wrestling match and were not to be blamed for being annoyed at such an ending.Mc- Mahon had too much at stake not to continue under the circumstances and now it remains with the people to decide what could have been done taking the {acts into consideration.FOOTBALL, The Match

TURF.St.Blaise and Stallion Prices.\u201cIn view of the enormous figures which this horse brought, it is pertinent, at this time, to compare the price with the cost of other stallions of renown, by which comparison it would certainly appear that Mr.Reed bas paid the full value for his purchase; for example, the migbty Ormonde, the \u2018horse of the cen- türy, as Englishmen like to call him, went to LLe stud ot Mr.Boucan, near Buenos Ayres, for $70,000, a price only equelled by Doncaster, tor whom the Luke of Westminster paid $70,000 16 years ago.Blair Athol, the most beaati- ful horse, 1t is said, that eyer raced in Æpgland, came next, the owner of the Cobham stud causing the world to wonder when he bought him at the fabulous sum of $62,500.In 16 seasons this celebrated horse earned in stud fees the enormous sum of $325,000.Melton went to Italy at $50,000 and Verneuil to Hungary at $39,000.Mr.Crawford gave $45,000 for Ison- omy, and Mr.Blenkiron $40,000 for Scottish Chief.Robert the Devel,brought $40,000; Rayon d\u2019Or, $40,000 to the Hon.W.Le Scott; Hampron, $36,000; Maca- Toni, $35,600; The Palmer, $35,000; Gladiateur,the greatostFrenchman of them all, $35,000; Bitvio, $35,000, and others of almost equal merit sums ranging from $34,000 down to $5060, the price paid for Ihe Baron, while Common, the most famous English race horse of the present decade, was recently sold for $75,000, Of the celebrated stallions mold in the United States] Iroquois fetched at auction the highest price, Gen.Jackson paying for him $20,000.The same gentleman secured Luke Blackburne at $20,- 000, Bramble $15,000 and Enquirer $12,- 000.Galore, imported by Maxwell for aacing purposes in 1888, fetched in Eng- and $10,000 and was sold two years later as a stallion to John A, Morris for $36,000.He never raced in this country, 1errible exposure af sea and on the barren wastes of Long Island rendering him unfit for training.Mr, A.J.Cassatt refused $60,000 for The Bara.Mr.Bwigert wave, if 8 claimed, $20,000 for * the unbea'en Tremont, known al! over the turf world as the \u201cBlack Locomotive,\u201d which has since been sold at public sale to Gen.Jackson, of the Belle Meade Stud, for $18,500.The immortal Lexington fetched only $15,000.Kentucky sold as a race-horse to Leonard W, Jerome for $40,000, and fetched but $15,000 as a stallion, August Belmont being the purchaser.Mr.Harper refused $50,000 for Longfellow as far back as 1871, and \u201cJack\u201d Chinn refused an offer of $30.000 for Leonatus.In comparison with these prices the $100,000 paid for

Mr.Belmont bought him the general belief wasthat he had made a mistake.The price was only $15,000, and Lord Alington, his breeder, felt that the horse was well sold.He comes to America, is in the stud five years, goes under the hammer, and is knocked down at $100,000.It makes & new record, and it will probably stand for some years.\u201d\u2014 Turf, Field and Farm, 2 ROWING.Warin Completing a New

President Hartsays that word has coms to the officials of the Chicago Club that Gombert contemplates signing with an association team.President Hart reminds him that bis contract has not expired with the Chicago Club, and asks for information as to his intentions.Gumbert says that whiie he bas given no reason tt imply a breach eof contract, that the Chicago Club is not abiding by the terms it promised in that instrament, He further says that, instead of writing letters questioniog his loyalty, the club officials would find better employment in sending him the money due him Nov.1.This has not as yet come, and implies an intention on Hart's part to first find out wbat Gumbert will do and make the payment conditional on whether that is satisfactory or not.Gumbert reiterates a former statement that what be will do next season purely concerns himself.Should he, however, decide to play again with Anson it must be at a larger salary than was paid him during the season of

with Maher and Corbutt in regard to the matter.After the above was received Billy Madden, Maher's manager, and Jim Cor- bett were wired for their reply.A Letter From Hawkins, Tne following was received at this office last evening : Sporting Editor Herald:\u2014 An article which appeared in your paper on Thuraday does me a great injustice, in speaking of the sudden disappearance of Welch, the man who had signed articles to fight me.You insinuate that I was a party toa put up job and that I had been in communication with Billy Welch, this is most unfair and un.{rue and the heading you put to your article,\u201cLooks like à skin game\u201d is as fa ag I am concerned at l-ast most unjustifiable.If there was any skin about it I am the man who bas been skinned for I have gone to considerable expense and trained hard for four weeks expecting to have à hard battle,and expected to mest aman in a square stand up fight, and did not think I was dealing with an alleged pugilist who would turn tai before he saw the ropes round the ring, it seems to me as if Welch's backera had lost confidence in their man at the last moment and preferred to lose their deposit sooner than lose the whole stake money on a battle.You publish a letter also trom Weich to his backer, which 1s child-like in its simplicity and which is apparently only anexcuse to let the said backers crawl out of a fairly made match.The letter, according to your publication, reads : \u201cFriend, you will be surprised at me leaving town and could not get a match on with Hawkins, Only THE MONTREAL BERAL REMEDY
