 HOTEL.
(From Tuesdays Daiiy.)

sunday morning, between { and . | o'clock, three Of the rooms on the up. per floor of the Prescott Hotel were cn. tered by an unknown sneak thief, wlo secured neat amount from the oecu pants of the rooms, in cash and valu. ables, after which he made his esc.,c without leaving n single clue as 10 his identity.
 As n result of the early morning raid e. w. French, who occupied Room 3I. IS minus gold watch and chain, valued at t100, and 600 in cash. !. r. Burton. who was occupying Room 3., lost his pockctbook, containing, it is said. s5l in cash and his trunk chcrk, Rhd J. K Hopkins, the proprietor of the hot... ia thanking his lucky stars that the bur glars did not visit his room. which is No. 24, on the same floor as those visited, and in which he had 500 in cash in the pocket of his trousers. which hun at the head of his bed, within arms length of the door, which was left ajar through out the night.
 Fred C. Davis. of Salt Lake, guest at tho hotel, who occupied Room 22, on the b'rglarizcd floor, was awakened about 4:i5 o'clock by the presence of someone in his room. As he had left I call for : o'clock. hc thought 1t ono of the attaches of the hotel come to awaken him, but upon asking who was there, was replied to, in a gentleman nl !, manner, with n "Beg pardon; l made , mistake. I'm in the wrong room, the intruder retiring at once, and | losing the door.
 Not giving the matter any furthci thought, Mir. Davis glanced at hi watch, after switching on the electric light, and, having ascertained the time dropped off to sleep again.
 1 A. !. Robinson, occupying Room [" on the upper floor of the building, Wni awakened three times by someone try ing to force an entrance 10 his room Upon opening the door to learn th. 'ause tc found that the lights in th' hall had been turned off and thDt n, one was in sight.
 All of the rooms entered on the ;bIf. floor were unlocked, which gives ris. to the supposition that the maraudci was more of sneak thief than n bur glnr, as in the latter event he w0ul, probably have becn supplied with skele ton keys. and would have worked al the rooms. The police are working of the case, but as yet have obtained nb solutelv nothing definite regarding th' identity of the thief or any clue that would lead to his apprehension. At about the same hour that the Pres cott Hotel was robbed some prowlel tried to effect an entrance into thu Montczuma House, hut was frightened away before accomplishing his pur pose by the loud baying of n watchdog
 The Head Hotel, just across from thu Prescott Hotel, way also visited, it II reported, and small sums secured iron at least one of the rooms.
 | Another piece of sneak thievery wal reported yesterday. when it was diseov cred that the Salvation Army's con tribution hox, which hns adorned thu Congress Hotel cigar case for severa weeks past. was missing, together witf its contents, some s3.
 The police have under surveillanc, several parties who arc suspected oi knowing something concerning the sev eral robberies, and it is thought fha' m arrest may be made soon.

mores, tenor, we're the stars who made
their debuts and both made distinctly
favorable impressions. Nine. DonaIda has
good looks and youth, which helped to make
her a convincing Marguerite, and her acting
had considerably more merit than usually
goes with an operate voice. She sang the
garden music with intelligence and feeling
that merited the recalls which she shared
at the end Of the act. M. Dalmores, too,
was at his best in this act. He sang with
confidence and the reception which was
given him presages popularity for him.
As Mephistopheles VI. Arimondi repeated the
success which he scored in another part on
the opening night of the opera house,
and sang the Calf of Gold" song 50 well that
there were repeated cries for an encore,
which, however, were unheeded.
The minor parts were less competently
handled. NJ. Seveilhac, the Vdtentin. after
a nervous beginning sang a~cceptably, but
the Siebel of Nine. Giaconia was a dis
appointment. She had considerable trouble
in adhering to the key and her voice lacked
smoothness. NJ. Fossetta was the wagner
and Nine. Donnelle the Mdrthe.

cent and Expects a New Trial.

HERKIMER. Dec. Chester Gillette,
awaiting sentence of death on Monday
for the murder Of Grace Brown, to-day
received a telegram from his mother in
Denver, Col, in which she informed him
that she had at hand a message saving
that he had made a confession. She urged
her son to repent, The prisoner looked
at the telegram in some surprise, but made
no remark on it to those at the jail. He
did pen an answer TO it and had il despatched
at once, denying that he had made any
admission of guilt in the case. This was
the text Of the telegram:
Il nave made no confession. am inno-
cent and expect n new trial, Believe
no reports in tho newspapers about me"
From the tone Of the brief message Of
one might think she took the confession
for granted. even dttCc her ron had 50
strongly expressed hs innocence in h
previous message TO her. After saying
she hoped he would repent Mrs. Gillette
again requested her son, IN neal the
same language "a she used before. so read
certain passages Of the Bible ant to put
his trust IN God.
Absolutely confident that he will obtain
a new trial, Gillette expressed that con-
hdence u his guards and reiterates hs
innocence Of any crime at Big Moose Lake.

THE FIGHT OVER IA BOHEME."
Hammerstcin In COurt 10 Hear Argument
on His high TO Puccini's Opera.

Oscar Hammerstein. impresario OF the
new Manhattan Opera House. was present
yesterday in the United States Circuit Court
to hear his counsel, Nathan Vidaver, tell
Judge Townsend why the man of man y
theatres should not be enioined from pro-
ducinR Puccini's La Boheme" at the Thirty
fourth street temple of music.
II Mr.. Hammerstein felt any resentment
toward his former counsel. former Judge
Di~ttenhoefer. for going over to the enemy
in the grand opera strife, he did not let It
become apparent, but too the opportunity
to inquire after the welfare and good health
of my dear friend Signor Caruso."

sole rights to the publication and produc-

ridiculed the pretensions of Ricordi q Co.
and their New York agent, George Max
well, that they never allowed any manager
to produce the opera until they had passed
on the cast of singers.
He declared that at the Tivoli, a ten,
twenty, and thirty opera house in San Fran

A~lessandro Bonci. said MIR. Nidaver. had
never been heard OF by MT. ftdmHleTsJeiu
until he went TO see Mr.. Maxwell about
getting permission to produce the opera.
Mr.. Maxwell then told him that he couldn't

than Bonci. Ii was on the advice OF a MEM

Mr.. Hammerstein when he was in Milan
last spring tina he engaged Eleanore de
Cisneros, formerly Eleanor Broadfoot, to
sing the part Of Mimi.
Judge Dittenhoefer laughed al this as
sertion. saying that Nine. de Cisneros was
a mezzo soprano, and so couldn't be con-
sidered for the part. Mr.. Hammerstein he
asserted, who declared himself a business
man, based his claim to the right TO produce
the opera on an alleged verbal contract
said to nave been concluded with Mr.. Max
we'll in the lobby Of the Victoria Theatre
last spring, and never sought 70 get the
agreement put into writing. II, as Mr..
Hammerstein asserted, l. Bohcme'
couldn't make or break an opera season.
then the injunction ought to be granted,
as the rights of the compliments would be
protected, and Mr.. Hammersteln, accord
ing to his own admission. wouldn't be hurt
at all.
Judge Townsend gave the contrasting
parties until next We dnesday 10 submit
briefs.
