The Emperor was eagerly question I'd by
the interviewer about the events in Brazil.
The Empress appears dszed. She said she
never would forgive those Republicans for
their roughness. The party was met at the
pier by the old servants weeping En- route
to the hotel they were respectfully greeted
By the people.
Many inquiries have been made Of Dom
Pedro touching his future and his attitude
toward the Government of Brazil. In an
swer to all thu Sc he confines himself to the
declaration that if summoned to return to
Brazil he will go He alludes to some of
the prime movers in the revolution with
respect and others with disdain.
Some of these men were in direct COM
munication with him, but all that passed
between them was through the intermedi-
aries. The conspiracy was complete sur
prise to every one. 1t was after embarking
that the Emperor heard of the decree con-
tinuing his civil list He declared he will
not accept either the list or the donation of
money offered him by the provisional
Government.
The Journal of the Brazilian Republic of
November 10Th publishes letter from
Count D En-, the Emperors on.in-law, to
the Minister Of War, resigning the COM
mand of the artillery and requesting leave
TO go abroad. The Count writes that he
had Loyalty served Brszil, and but for the
circumstances which obliged him to quit
the country, he would be ready to serve il
under any form of government.
In the evening, on going to the Hotel
Braganza, where the Imperial family is
quartered, Dom Pedro drove to the burial
place of the House of Braganza, and kneel-
ing on the tomb of his father, remained for
some time in prayer.
Dom Pedro has already received numer-
Gus kilograms from European sovereigns
and notables. Until late in the evening the
halls of Braganza Hotel were crowded with
ministers and diplomats, waiting to be re-
ceived by Dom Pedro. The late Emperor
and his wife were attired in simple man.

The CIan-na-Gael Defended by the At
torneys for the Defense.
CHICAGO, December 7th.-Foster resumed
his address to the jury in the Cronin case
to-day. He devoted his attention to the
alleged conspiracy in Camp 20, Gamma
Gael, making an argument to show that
there was no foundation for the allegation.
Foster denied emphatically that any
committee was appointed in Camp 20 to
try Cronin, and had quite tilt with the
States Attorney on this point Beggs, he
said, had always counseled in favor OF
peace and unity. Continuing, he said:
Would you hang him simply because he
is q friend of Alexander Sullivan? l do
not know whether he is or not. Alexander
Sullivan was arrested in this case and dis
charged under evidence by one of the
ablest and Oldest jurists that sits upon the
bench in this State. His case was pre-
scented to the Grand Jury and the bill was
ignored. The bonds under which he was
required to answer have been cancelled,
AMI he is a free man.
Now, in the name of conscience, and in
the name of Heaven, will they ask you TO
convict my client because be is the friend
of another man whom they despise, but
against whom they can prove no criminal
act l will not discuss the question whether
he and Alexander Sullivan are friends or
not. do not know; | do not care"
After further Investigation Foster told
the jury they must either find Beggs guilty
or acquit him entirely. Foster then began
the closing argument on behalf of the de-
Tense. He began by contrasting the
methods used by the orators for the prose-
cution and those for the defense. In treat
ing of the circumstantial evidence, the
prosecution treated il as q mass, but the de-
Tense had analysed each circumstance, and
this was the right method.
He occupied the remainder of the session
reading from legal works and making an
exhaustive statement of the application of
circums.sntial evidence.

THE QUEENS OPINION.
She Says that People are UngratefuI to
Monarchs.


MADRID, December 7th-Quesn Isabella
on being asked what she thought OF the
Brazilian revolution said:
No matter what monarch now does il
lands him as an exile on foreign soil. If
be is gcodnatured and liberal, he encour-
ages restlessness TO break out; if he is severe
in REFRESHING sedition, his harshness is
made a pretext for revolution. Do what
he may or turn where he will, be is sure to
be beaten"
Spain is quiet because her sons are chiv-
alrous and respect the young widow whom
they know 10 be doing the best she can.
Dom Pedro was an ideal monarch never
theless revolution swept him away. But
what is very true is this: that those who
dethroned him wish him well and speak of
him and treat him handsomely. The ex-
Emperor has decided to spend the winter
at the villa of the Duchess de la Tour Man
bourg, at Cannes, lady who vss psrtic-
ular friend of the ex-Empress VINO feels
indebted TO her for her kindness when
Dom Pedro was so i'll last winter.
The Portuguese Government intends to
show by its conduct, after definite esIab-
lishment of the republic of Brazil, that it
desires to respect the right of that nation to
select its own form of government. 1t also
desires to continue the past cordial rela-
tons between the two countries. Many
monarchial and republican politicians of
Portugal are convinced that an imperial
restoration is impossible in Brszil.
The Portuguese Charge dAtiaires at Rio
de Janeiro has been instructed to maintain
semi official relations with the Provisional
Government, pending the recognition of
the republic Portugals recognition will
be given when the constitution is definitely
adopted.

James Lynch, who have been mentioned
in connection with the matter, all state
most positively they would never approve

WHOLESALE MURDER.
The Bloody Work of an Opium Fiond-
A Terrible Scene.

ST. LOUIS, December 7th.-A terrible
tragedy occurred this morning at the house
of John Arson, 1884 Hickory street. Cas-
par Clispy, would-be sutton of Ansons
daughter Mary aged &c years, and who had
been forbidden the house, entered while
the family were at breakfast and with
out word of warning drew two revolvers
and commenced firing.
The first shot fired struck Mr.. Arson
and inflicted fatal wound. Another bull
let struck Mary on the head but glanced
around under the scalp and she will re-
cover. Her younger sister, Agnes, re-
ceiVed a ball above the left temple, which
penetrated the brain and she cannot live
through the night. Michael Arson, lad
of Is years, grappled with the murderer
and was shot in the arm but not badly
hurt. Clispy then dropped one of his
pistols, and running up to the second floor
of the house, fred three bullets into his own
heard and soon died.
Clispy was a machinist, and worked in
the Missouri Pacific shops with Arson.
Mary did not care for him, but he persist
emily thrust his attentions on her. 1t is
said Arson learned Cispy was addicted to
the use OF opium and forbade him the
house. Mary also refused to see him again
On learning this it is said he threatened to
have blood, but little attention was paid to
his threats. Arson died at the hospital
this afternoon.

mirer of the late Jefferson Davis. At her
house, No IS Second street, to-day, bunch
of Grape foated from the bcll-knob, and
draped from the windows on the upper
floor was wide strip of black stuff.
In the center of each of the three win
dow sills the black was fastened by rosettes.
Two of them, one at each end, were red,
while the one in the middle was white.
The hue and manner of the arrangement
combined to form the colors of the dead
Confederacy.
A number of colored people gathered on
tbs sidewalk opposite the house this morn
ing and loudly criticised the action OF the
inmates, but went no further.
PRocroR's FIRM POSITION.
WASHINGTON, December 7th.-Secretary
Proctor this afternoon received telegram
from Mayor Shakespeare of New Orleans,
officially notifying him of the death of
Jefferson Davis. This was done because
the Secretary had partially based his fail
ure to lower the flag of the War Depart
ment at hglf.mast in Davis honor, because
be had not been officially notified of the
death.
he was called upon at his residence to-
-
take any action, now that he has been Off
ciallv notified.
The Secretary states that this official no
LITIGATION would make no difference. That
as Jefferson Davis had failed to ask for q
removal of his disabilities, he had been
virtually dead to the Government that had
honored him, ever since 1861, and had not
been citizen since. Continuing, the Sec
rotary said:
81 will again repeat what l said yester-
day, that see no occasion for any action
whatever. 1t would subserve no good pur-
pose that I can see. 1t is better to let the
matter rest in oblivion, sleep if it will and
to relegate it to the past, rather than to do
anything that would revive memories best
to be forgotten"
This definitely settles the matter, and the
custom that has been in vogue for over
fifty years, of lowering the flag to half
mast, draping the building and closing the
department on the day of the funeral of
the ex-Secretary, will not be carried out
on the death of e1-Secretary of War Jeffer-
son Davis.
