WHO have been in this country seeking
to induce the Government to recog-
nize the Cuban Republic as a teligger-
ent power, are beginning to despair of

Arrest of Brigham Young.

Salt Lake City, 3. Brigham Young was
arrested this forenoon, at his residenc in
this city by the United States Marshal on
charge of murder. An application Tor his re-
lease on bail will be heard at 9 =. NJ. to- day
by Judge Mckeon.
Brigham Young in the custody of the United
States Marshal and accompanied by Geo. A.
Smith, Daniel II. Wells, H. B. Clamson and
other high church dignitaries, appeared be-
fore Chief Justice McKeon this afternoon
under the indictment of murder.
The court room was crowded TO sutfocation.
Much anxiety is felt among the Mormons,
but there is not the least show of disorder to
the court. Hon. c. H. Hampstead and Thos.
Fitch are counsel for the prisoner, and
United States Attorney Bates will prosecute
for the people. Mr. Hampstead moved that
the prisoner be admitted to bail on the ground
that he was II years of age and in feeble
health. He had come 400 miles to meet this
and all other charges, and his physicians GER
tilted that imprisonment would imperil his
life. Mr.. Bates had no OPPOSITION to bail, but
suggested that if bail be taken it be fixed at
$500, 900. Judge McKeon said that the gov
eminent of the United States had no Jail in
this city for holding prisoners arrested on
process issued from the United States courts.
The Marshal is required to exercise the dis
erection which vests in him. Sometimes such
prisoners are kept at Camp Douglass, but
the commander of that post was not obliged
to receive them. The prisoner is reported
to be the owner of several houses in this city,
and if he chooses to put under the control of
the Marshall some suitable building in which
to be detained it will be for the Marshal to
decide whether to adopt it. 1t is at the option
of the prisoner to make such an offer. In
any event the Marshal will look to it
that every comfort of the prisoner be pro-
vided for, remembering that he is an old
man, decline to admit to bail. On leaving the
court Brigham rendered the Marshal his resi-
dence in South Temple street, which was ac-
cepted, and Brigham is now prisoner in his
own house. He seemed perfectly cool and

wise the city and vicinity were remarkably
peaceful.
A meeting of the Tammany Society was
called for last evening to consider what ac-
ton should be taken relative to Tweed,
Sweeney, Connolly and Hall but adjourned
for want of quorum.
There is considerable comment throughout
the city on the action of the new and old
boards of aldermen and Mayor Hall yester-
day. The impeachment of the Mayor by the
old board was quite surprise to the Tam
manyites.
The new board which now has full possess
sion not only of the ground in a legal point
of view but also of the AlIermens room, the
old board being notified to leave by the new
Commissioner of Public Works, will not
probably take any further action upon the
Impeachment than that taken yesterday,
namely, unanimously resembling it. This
action is believed to efiectually settle the
whole question, and as the proceedings were
not taken in legal manner the courts will
not recognize the status OF the old board nor
any of its actions in the premises.
