A LONDON cableRram in regard to the
revolution in Brazil says it's success will
almost certainly result in a restoration
of the monarchy. This statement must
be taken with due allowance, as. coming
by the way of London, it is apt to be
coiored in the interest of the monarch
lists. There has been some monarchist
feeling in Brazil ever since the over
throw of the monarchy in 1889. but it is
not strong nor aggressive. If it should
become so it is probable that Dom
PedrO's daughter Isabella, who married
the Count D'Eu. would try to take ad-
vantage of it. The old Emperor and
Empress are both dead. but Isabella is
ambitious and capable. and it would be
like her to try and place her son upon
the throne, he being in the direct line of
succession TO the late Emperor Dom
Pedro. This, however. is mere con-
lecture. The present movement does
not seem to be directed against the
form of government as much as against
the administration. though it is quite
likely to result in a dictatorship, which
would be as bad as a monarchy.

WASHINGTON, Ind. Sept. 20.-The muir
derer OF murderers Of the Wratten family
are still ct large. More than a thousand
persons from this city and lower parts of
the country were at the scene of the tragedy
yesterday afternoon. The bloodhounds
were taken ont and put in the room where
Mrs. Elizabeth Wratten was murdered.
They jumped from the window and circled
back to the house when they were started
again and went towards the river. At
Flat Creek crossing they stopped. Here
they were transported across the stream
and soon resumed the trail. They
kept following the scent until
they reached Birch Bridge in
Dubois county. about ten miles from the
scene of the slaughter. Here they stopped
again and refused to 90 any further. The
men with the dogs then placed them in a
wagon and started towards Jasper, and on
the way met q farmer. and by inqulring
of him found that two men had ridden
about two miles with him. He showed
them where the strangers got in the wagon.
and il proved to be the place where the
logs had lost the trail. He also showed
them where the strange men
got out of the wagon and
they were soon put on the
right trail again. This farmer could
give no description of the men. as he sald
no paid no attention to them.
The rObber hunters then proceeded TO
Jasper. in Dubois county. aud are no.

of the murdered family took place this
afternoon. and several thousand people at

years ago. Within q month the trust
shut down all its refneries with a view
to forcing the dealers in raw sugars to
reduce the price. After a closing of
two weeks, the trust started its %refiner-
les, but the stock was so nearly ex-
hausted that refined sugar became very
scarce, and now that the trusts retiner-
les are running full force, it is only able
to furnish it's customers a quarter or
half the amount ordered. It is due the
trust to say that it has not put up prices
during this period, a thing it might do
until the half cent of tariff should make
the limit which would open our markets
to the refined sugars of Germany and
France. Nevertheless. a combination
which grasps the refined sugar market
of the United States is not n pleasant

is the nearest a complete combination

there is in this country, and it is, practi-
cally, outside of the protective tariff.

TO MAYOR SULLIVAN,

Sir-You are reported as expressing
approval of the resolution passed by the
Council a few nights ago. declaring it
it to be "the sense of this Council that
Mayor Sullivan instruct the Board of
Public Safety to notify the gambling
houses in this city that they must not
allow minors to play in their rooms"
The Sentinel says hat on your atten-
tion being called to this resolution you
said:
The resolution was all right. I an op.
posed to gambling. but In a city tho size of
Indianapolis there always will be gam bling
and other violations of law. and the best
that can be done in any city Is to control
and reduce to a minimum such violations.
How can a man of your intelligence
expect the people to regard such trifing
as this with any degree of patience7
You have been Mayor of this city four
years, and. during three years of the
time, you have had unlimited authority
through them. of the police. The city
charter makes it your duty to see that
the laws of the State and the city ordi-
nances are enforced. During all the
time that you have been Mayor the laws
against gambling, against keeping "a
gambling house and against allowing
minors to gamble have been, practically,
a dead letter. Your Board of Public
Safety has tolerated gambling and,
thereby. connived at the violation of
law. Your superintendent of police
has shut his eyes to the practice. The
members of the force have passed gam
bling houses day and night. knowing
them to be such, and have made no
effort to enforce the law against them.
During the time that you have been
Mayor hundreds of youths and mere
boys have been enticed into these places
and started on the road to ruin. Yet
you dare to stand up before this COM
munity and say that gambling has been
reduced to a minimum! You dare to
say this in spite of the fact that you
have never issued an order to your
Board of Public Safety nor to the police
on the subject, nor made an honest
attempt to enforce the law. Gamblers
call people who are easily deceived
suckers" Do you think the people of
Indianapolis are mainly of that class7
If so, you are mistaken.
