The king of Tortugal has offered Empero* Dom Pedro the use of his palace at Lisbon., Mexico, Mo., Nov. 20.—Interest in the Collins murder mystery has been increased by the arrest of Mrs. Collins and her two sons on the charge of murder. The evidenco shows that the pistol with which Collins was shot belonged to his son, and the boy says it was taken from bis pocket and used by tho assassin.

He has had several telegrams from Rio de Janeiro and elsewhere, dated the day of the alleged fight, and all agreed that everything was quiet in the new republic. The fact that the report of street fighting was credited to merchants of Hamburg and printed in a Paris newspaper was euough to throw doubt upon it. News of that importance should be heard in London, which was the center of Brazilian fiuaneial affairs, and which was interested in Brazil to the extent of probably $50,000,000.

Portland, Ore., Nov. 20.—By common consent the legislature has agreed that one of the United States senators to be elected from the new state of Washington shall be from the eastern part of the state and the other from the western.
