The Capitol Hill Lots.
SALT LAKE CITY, De

OALT LAKE CIT1, Lee. U, 1903.
To the Editor of THE HERALD:
Your valuable comment to my letter
about the coming public safe of public
property is duly appreciated by your cor
respondent, as no doubt your concluding
sentence is law.
But have not the city authorities the
power to embody in the deed the provision
that buyers of this property must be bona
fide settlers? A real estate firm of this city
comprised of men who are as sharp as they
make them Especially when looking after
themselves) and who are handling SUI
burban addition, make it a proviso of their
deed that the purchaser must erect house
on the lot. 1t strikes me that when pri-
vate corporation can do this, the municipal
government can insert some clause which
will save this property to those who have
the most right to it, the citizens of this city
who have created and built it up, and who
are willing to build this property up and
settle on it in bona tide manner, in prefer
ence to the men who are here with their
hand satehel and check book to buy it on
speculation, dispose of it for higher figure
to some other Spectator, and then repack
and HE himself to his far off eastern or
western home. That this is the fact is ex-
emplified by the many letters of inquiry to
the city authorities. The bona fide resi-
dents and the greatly beloved and petted
workingmen about election day. who will
put in again the "People's party'' to power
in February next are deserving of the best
efforts of the city authorities to do their
utmost for them in the coming sale.
Yours respectfully,
Bona Eide HOME SEEKER.

Frank Stevenson Tells What He Knows3 OF
the Chances for ight Between the Two.
Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch. ]
New YORK, Dec Some days ago an
interview with William Muldoon, express
sing his belief that Kilrain would be Sulli-
vans next opponent in the ring, was
printed in the World. More than likely
Sullivan's trainer knew what he was talk
ing about, for Kilrain's hackers decided to
challenge Sullivan Monday, providing the
Baltimore pugilist is acquitted by the Mis-
sissippi courts. Frank Stevenson, one
of the men who will put up the money for
Kilrain, said to a World reporter last night
"Jake's trial will take place Monday; l
expect to know the result during the after
noon. Incase he is acquitted or fined, 1
shall deposit 81, 600 at the Clipper office as a
guarantee that challenge shall issue to
John L. Sullivan, made in good faith. Kill
rain will fight for five or ten thousand dol
lars and the championship of the world.
If Sullivan refuses to meet under London
rules, then our man will challenge Jack
son, Slavin and all others in his class who
can find backing.
"The reports that Jack Scholes, of Can
ada, be5ted Jake in Toronto are erroneous.
Kilrain can whip three like Scholes in the
same ring, and if the Canadian don't think

WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.-Leedom has been
gathering additional facts bearing on the
defalcation of Cashier Silcott. There has
been good deal of speculation as to why
Silcott took up a number of notes at the
National Metropolitan bank just before he
disappeared. Leedom has secured an ex-
PLANTATION which is to the effect that the
cashier forged the names of members of
the House and others to thirty five notes
aggregating S14,500. 1t was these notes
which he took up November %. Leedom's
theory of Silcott's object is believed how
ever. 1t was reported this morning that
he had been seen in New York enroute for
Buffalo, and that he had been arrested in
Albany. The reports lack confirmation
The congressional committee is busy with
the investigation. Members of the House
claim that the government will have to
make the sums lost good to them.
Representative Thompson, of Ohoio, was
before the committee this afternoon in con-
nection with the inquiry into the character
of the notes taken up by Silcott He was
confronted with record of note pur-

DOMPEDROOF BRAZIL
He Arrives in Lisbon and Talks
Of the Revolution.
JEFFERSON DAVIS. AT REST
Lying in State in New Orleans-The General
Mourning Throughout the South-Sec-
rotary Proctor Officially Notified.

LISBON, Dec. Tt is learned from an
party that he and his family were at his
summer residence at Petropolis, near Rio
de Janeiro, where the revolution occurred.
Upon learning of what had happened he at
once returned to Rio de Janeiro, and held a
meeting with his ministers. He tried to
form a new ministry with Sarama at its
head but to this Da Fonseca objected, say
ing the republic had been declared and
was supported by the military; that the
presence of the imperial family in Brazil
was incompatible with the existing state of
affairs and they must soon leave the coun-
try. The Emperor after consulting his
friends decided to agree to the demands of
the Republicans. No communications
were allowed to pass between Dom Pedro
and the foreign representatives. At
o'clock the following morning Major
Tompofsci, with a detachment Of soldiers,
went to the palace and placed the
members of the imperial family
under arrest while still in bed.
He bore written orders from General da
Fonseca that the Emperor and family
should embark forthwith. The govern
ment would not allow them to wait until
daylight, as they feared that any demon
stration in the streets in favor of Dom
Pedro might resalt in bloodshed. The
measure was considered doubly necessary
by the Republican leaders, as the students
in the city were well supplied with arms
and greatly excited. Count d'Eu and wife,
Princess Isabel, the Emperor's daughter
and their children were compelled to leave
the palace at o'clock Sunday morning and
walk TO the quay. Dom Pedro and the
Empress followed Immediately in a car
rage under escort of body of troops. The
/, imperial party embarked on a steam launch
and were taken to the man-of::war, which
Immediately proceeded to nha Grande
almost sixty-eight miles from Rio de
Janeiro, where the party were kept as
prisoners until the afternoon, when they
were transferred to the Alagoas. The
latter vessel at once sailed for Lisbon.

A VERDICT FOR THE HERALD.

In the same week that a jury gave a YER
dict against it for damages, THE HERALD
was awarded another kind of verdict,
which would compensate for the loss of
score of libel suits. To Messrs. J. w.
Summerhays & Co., the wool merchants,
we are indebted for the news of this sub
stantial decree in our favor. 1t appears
that during the Fair of 1888 the firm con-
ceived the idea that it would help dissent
nate a knowledge of the shrinkage of
wool if they were to get up
contest of opinion on the subject, and
to that end they placed four fleeces Of
Utah wool in glass case, and asked wool
men to record their guesses as to how
much shrinkage the fieeces would sustain
in. undergoing the securing process. To
those who guessed correctly, Summerhays
& Co. proposed to give one years sub
scription to any Utah paper which the
guesser might prefer. Thirty-four wool
men entered their guesses, and left the
name of the paper they wanted in case
they were successful. The RESULT HAS
JUST BEEN PUBLISHED BY THE FAIR COM
MITTEE Showing Eph Harker, of Taylors-
vile, and T. w. Jones of Salt Lake to be
the winners), AND THE REPORT OF THE COM
MITTEE STATES THAT OF THE "a WHO ENTERED
THE COMPETITION, 90 NAMED THE HERALD
AS THE PAPER THEY PREFERRED IN CASE
THEY WERE SUCCESSFUL.

received a telegram at my summer palace
at Petropolis that the revolution had tri-
umphed. Upon its receipt l went to Rio
de Janeiro and placed myself at the dis
posal of the revolutionary government.
The palace at Rio de Janeiro was instantly
~encircled by troops and ingress and egress,
stopped. The siege lasted thirty-two hours
during which time my family suffered much
from want IF food. We were then taken
secretly after midnight, between double
file of soldiers, to the arsenal and placed
on board a war-ship. AS soon as we were
on board she departed for nha Grande.
Upon arrival there, though the sea was
rough, we were transferred in small boats
to the Alagoas. The Empress was agitated
and wept continually. Her hands and
wrists were hurt as she was being hauled
on board the Alagoas. 1 myself was
deeply affected and spent the time in
watching the coast as it gradually dis
appeared from view. When the shore line
had dropped below the horizon l let fly a
carrier pigeon bearing my farewell to
\ BRAZIL
The Emperor eagerly questioned the in
terviewer about events in Brazil. The
Empress appeared dazed. She said she
never would forgive those Republicans for
their roughness. The party were at parting
met by their old servants, weeping. En-
route to the hotel they were respectfully
greeted by the people.
