THE BRAZILIAN REVOLT.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12-The Brazilian
revolution has assumed new aud much
more serious aspect by the declaration of
Admiral de CANA in favor of the revolu-
tion and Il restoration of the empire.
Minister Mendonca Of Brazil, who has
been most active in assisting the Peixoto
government, does not seek to belittle the
seriousness of De Gama's detection.
Il know De- CANA personally and most
Intimately" said the minister, and
realize that he gives The rebels power and
prestige that they have never before had.
Although he is rear admiral of the
same rank as Mello, yet De CANA is
recognized as tue most popular and able
man in the navy. The entire navy is
likely to follow De CANA, for he has n
controlling influence over most OF the
officers of the navy and those who would
not follow him through respect would do
SO in fear of him.. ="
The minister was asked what element of
strength was now commanded by the
revolutionsts.
''De CANA has two protected cruisers
and TWO lesser warships Inside the harbor
of Rio" said he. Admiral Mello has tue
ironclads Aquidaban and Republica out
side the harbor. There are a number OF
small ships which are likely to follow De
Gama's orders. Ia fact, the entire navy Is
likely to be concentrated against the in
ternal resources and the army of Brazil"

THE TEXAS FEVER CASE.

ENPoRIA. Kan, Dec. 12.-The Texas
castle fever case came up for trial yester-
day in the district court in this city. The
title Of the case is Charles Hafer VS.. L. A.
Hosier ct al, and it involves over $50 0C0,
claimed as damages on account of cattle
alleged to have been lost by reason of the
shipping of Texas cattle to Hartford in
this county, and their arrival from that
point in Bazaar in Chase county. The
Missouri, Kansas and Texas railroad is
the principal defendant. There are really
l12 plaintiffs, although Hafer Is the only
one who appears in the suit.
He first commenced the action and the
others appear as defendants by reason of
the fact that they afterwards filed cross
petitions. The cattle which spread the
disease were the property of Hosier Bros.
aud Were shipped from their ranch in
Texas to Hartford in May aud June, 1892.
and driven from there to he Brogan ranch.
1t Is alleged that they came from a
quarantined district, and there seems to
be no denial OF the charge that they car
red the fatal fever "tick" which commu-
nicated the disease to the domestic cattle
Neither IL the right of the plaintiffs to re-
cover damages disputed. Ia fact the
amount OF damages that each plaintiff is
entitled to has already been agreed upon
by commission. The Hoser brolhrrs
are really TO settle for their part, and
practically the only question now before
the court IS as TO the liability of The Mis-
souri, Kansas and Texas Railroad COM
pany- The controversy on that point is
whet her the officers of the road and their
ageuts know, or had reason to know, that
the cattle in question were infected.

species before. 1t brought my courage

ing nothing requiring their attention,
they all looked at me, and / felt as
comfortable as we do in those dis
tracing nightmares when we roam
through dignified assemblies looking
for quiet corner where we can put
our clothes on. They kept on chewing
with gentle and rhythmical move
ment which required no conscious di-
rection and left their minds free to
consider my claims to personal beauty
and engaging manner.
And then, suddenly, the entire eight
hundred took their eyes off me, snd
forgot that I was alive. 1t was the
only thing that could have made ME
feel worse than l felt when they were
looking at me, and it accounts for the
tinge of bitterness which may be de-
tected in these lines. A man must be
older and more philosophical than I
am before he can endure with patience
the humiliating reflection that not one
girl in eight hundred prefers him to a
plate of ham and beans.

of the aggregate city being SO divided is
found in the law governing townsites in
opening the territory. This law provided
for the claiming of but one half section
for any town, but so great was the rush
to Gut hrie that the overflow proceeded to
organize three more towns. l. e.. EaSt
Guthrie, West Glthrie and Capital Hill,
Capital Hill occupies beautiful rise Of
ground, Including The east oue-fourth OF
the present city of Guthrie. On the apex
of this hill, commanding at once a fine
view of the entire city aud of a beautiful
landscape varied by stream and wood, is a
10-acre tract of land, which by tacit
understanding of the people and the town
of Capital Hill WAS held as reserve on
which to build a staiehouse when We are
admitted TO the glorious SlsterhoOd. The
interior depart menE issued patent to the
trustees of Capital Hill for this tract. In
the meantime the four towns have cOnsOi.
idated, making the city of Guthrie each
paying the debts 1t had previously con-
tracted.
Now the city of Guthrie applies for a
deed to this tract, but it is objected that
as it was reserved for IA definite purpose, if
not used for that purpose, it should revert
TO aud be used for the benefit of that part
of the city known rs Capital Hill. Others
hold that it should revert TO the claimants
who were elected from it. DR.. Landrum

the outcome of which is watched here with
