1)051 PEDRO IN PORTUGAL

Arrival and Recep'.ion of the Deposed Emperor at Lisbon Yesterday.

THE STORY OF HIS DEPARTURE FROM BRAZIL.

Tbe Revolutionists Showed Him and His Family but Scant Consideration.

LISAO.S, December 7.—The steamer Alagoas with ex-Emperor Dom Pedro, of Brazil, and party ori board, and Hying the old Brazilian Hag. arrived In Uie Tagus at 10:15 o'clock this morning. She anchored oil Belem, a suburb of Lisbon, opposite the Lazaretto, but was not compelled to undergo quarantine. Pom PeJro, the Count and Countess

Iv.i, son-in-law and daughter respectively of the ex-emperor the three sons of the count and countess and Prince August, of Saxe-Coburg, the other son-in-law ol Dom I'edro, came ashore immediately.

DJID Pedro and party landed at the naval areeti til. Before they left the steamer she was boarded by King Carlos, who extended a hearty welcome to the ex-emperor. Djm Pedro is In excellent spirits ami appears not to have sullered by the recent events In Brazil. It Is said that he Intends to issue a manifesto to the Brazilian people.

Baron De l.oreto. who was the last minister of the Interior under Dom Pedro, was also aboard of the Alagoas.

It learned from interviews with members of 1 loin Pedro's party that he and his family were at Ills .summer residence at 1'etropolls, near Hio .Janeiro, when the revolution occurred. Upon learning what had happened he once returned to Rio .Janeiro and held a meeting of ills ministers and councillors of slate. He tried to form a new ministry with SenhorSarawaat its head, but to this General Dilonseea objected, saying that a republic had been declared and was supported by the military that the presence of the Imperial family In Brazil was incomputable with the existing state of affairs ami that they must soon leave the country. The emperor, alter consul'lng with his friends, decided to agree to the demands ot the republicans. No communications were allowed to pass between Dom Pedro and the foreign representatives. At 2 o'clock lie following morning Slijor Tompotscl, with a detachment ot soldiers, went to the palace and placed- the members of llie Imperial family under arrest while they were still in bed. He bore written orders from Ger.eral Datonseca tint the emperor and his family should embark forthwith. The government would not allow them to wait until daylight as they feared that any demonstration in the streets In favor of Dom I'edro might result in bloodshed. This measure was considered doubly necessary by the Republican leaders, as the students In the city were well supplied with arms and were greatly excited. Count D'Eu and his wire, Princess Isabel!, the emperor's daughter, and their children, were compelled to leave the palace at 3 o'clock Sunday morning and walk to tlieciuay. Dom Pedro and the empress followed them Immediately lira carriage under escort of a body of troops. The Imperial party embarked on a steam launch and were taken to a man-of-war, which immediately proceeded to Ilha Grande, an island sixty-eight miles from hio Janlero, 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. The Iron clad Htaehuele accompanied the Alagoas to pievent the landing of the royal prisoners at Bahia or any other Brazilian port. As the Hlachtiele could steam only six knots an hour the progress of the Alagoas was greatly retarded.

Dom Pedro positively declines to discuss the recent events In Brazil. A steamer with Daron De Andrada, the Brazilian minister to Portugal Baron De I'enedo. late Brazilian minister to England, and other prominent persons onboard, met the Alagoas. Couut D'Eu intends to go to Spain on a visit to the Duke De Montpensler. Dom Pedro will probably remain in Lisbon lor a tew days, and then proceed to Paris.

LO.NIMIS, December 7.— A special dispatch Irom Lisbon says that in an interview on board the Alagoas. the ex-emperor stated that he did not intend to issue a manifesto, lie said: "I have no desire to busy mvself longer with Brazilian affairs. I had no Intercourse wlt'i the republican government. 1 received a telegram at the summer palace at Petropolls. announcing that the revoaition had triumphed, Upon Its receipt I went to Hlo Janeiro and placed myself at the disposal of the revolutionary government. The palace at Hlo Janlero was instantly encircled by troops, and ingress and egress was stopped. The siege lasted for thirty-two hours, during which time my family suffered much from want of food. We were then taken secretly after midnight between a double llleof soldiers from the palace to the arsenal, and placed on board a war ship. The vessel upon which we were placed wan the Parnnhyha. As soon as we were on board she took her departure for llhagrand. I'pon our arrival there, though the sea was rough, we were transferred In small boats to the Alairoas. The empress was agitated, and wept continually. Her hands and wrists were hurt as she was being hauled on board the Alagoas. I, myself, was deeply affected, and spent the time watching the coast as It gradually disappeared from view. When the shoreline dropped below the horizon 1 let lly a carrier pigeon bearing my Urewell message to the people."

The emperor eagerly questioned the interviewer about the news from Brazil, which had been published In Europe. He was delighted upon learning that the Brazilian Hag was unchanged. It is Dom Pedro's Intention to visit the Opera house to-morrow, and hear the opera "Othello." He looks to be enjoying splendid health. The empress appears frightened and dazed. When King Carlos boarded the Alagoas, lie met Dom Pedro at 1 he top of the stairs. The dethroned emperor and the king-kissed heartily. Few words were passed between them, and Brazil was not alluded to. The ex empress said: "1 never will forgive thoseHepublicans for their rough treatment of me."

The ex emperor and his party embarked on tho roval yacht and were landed at the naval arsenal. I'pon disembarking they were approached by a number of old servants, who were weeping. The lamtlv then drove to ihe Hotel Braganza. All along the route they received respectful greetings Irom the people. The writer of thin dispatch ,-t ttesJhat I) nil Pedro will rem tin at Lisbon for a lnontlfand then go to Cannes.

On Monday December 2, which was the birthday of the emperor's daughter, the countess D'Ku. the dav was celebrated with such limitation upon festivity as their presence on a ship focred upon tlieni. but was closed with a banquet in the cabin. At his banquet the countess proposed her father's heath. Dom Pedro responded, and then said: ••.Now It is my tin to propose a toast Then lilting his glass he said: "Let us drink to the lasting prosperity of Brazil.'' Kvery one duly honored thetoa-t.

Manv inquiries have been made of Dom Pedrj touching his future and his attitude toward the government of Brazil. In answer to all these he confines himself to the declaration that ir. summoned to return to Brazil he will go. He declares that he will not accept either the list or the donation of money offered lilni by the provisional government.

THE AFRICAN' EXPLORERS.

Strong Hi|ios of KmlnV Upcovtry—Km" jieror William's Congratulations. [Copsrighted 18bi.'. by the New York Associated

Press.!

HKKLIN, December 7.—The latest news from Kmln Pasha is that there are strong hopes ot Ills recovery. The lir.tin Is now known to be uninjured and the rever is reduced. In response to an Inquiry from the emperor. Major Wissman yesterday cabled: "Kmln Pasha Is much better, but he must for the present remain at Bagamoyo. He charges me to tell your majesty that the emperor's congratulations are the best reward for all Ills work and he begs leave to express his humble thanks for them."

The emperor left Dessan on Thursday for Darmstadt, where he cabled to Kmln: ••Now you have at last returned from your post where you have remained over eleven years with truly Herman loyalty and devotion to duty, Iaiu glad to greet you. sending my congratulations and Imperial appreciation. I have felt especial satislactlon from the fact that It was through territory under our protection that Gerunn torces were able to smooth the way to the coast for your return." ,, ..

At the same time, the emperor cabled to Stanley as follows: ... -Thanks to vour perseverence and inflexible courage vou have now. after repeatedly cross ng the dark continent, overcome a new and long sue cession of exceeding perils and almost unendurable hardships. That after surmounting those, fi ur journey should lead you through lauds covered by my llag affords m« great satisfaction, and welcome ou heartily to civilization and security."

Stanley wires the following answer: "tMPKA'nm irr RKX: My expedition has now reached its end- pave had the honor to be hospitably entemined by Major- Wissman and other

of your majesty's officers under him. Since arriving from Mpwapwa. our travels have come to a successful conclusion. We have been taken across from Bagamoyo to Zanzibar by your majesty's ships. Sperber and Schwalbe, and all honors, coupled with great affability have been accorded us. I gratefully remember the hospitality and princely affability extended to me at Potsdam, and am profoundly Impressed with your majesty's condescension, kindness and gracious welcome. With a full and sincere heart I exclaim, long live the noble Emperir William."

The emperor was Immensely pleased with Stan ley's reply, which Bhows that the explorer has caught the ringing style agreeable to Imperial ears. He read it aloud, encircled by a brilliant party, at a supper given last night by the grand duke of Hesse. Before starting for the deer park at Grossjean to-day, the emperor again cabled Stanley, urging hlin to make an early visit here and giving him hearty assurance of a warm German greeting.

All classes are represented In the procession by the bier. The number of colored people Is marked. Mourning Is general and every place of prominence in the city has put on black. The noteworthy event this morning was a telegram sent by Mayor Shakespeare to Secre'arv Proctor officially notifying him of the death of ex-Secretary Davis anil the date of the funeral. •Ml through the South yesterday official bodies took action on the death of Davis. Resolutions were adopted extolling him as a brave soldier, wist statesman, true patriot, model citizen and elegant christian gentleman.

A Washington Woman Wlio Draped Her Ilousr Willi tlie Confederacy's Colors. WASHINGTON. Decomber 7.—There is a woman in the city who worships the memory of the late Jefferson Davis and who lias the courage of her conletlons. At 285 Second street Is a modest Utile house painted dark red with green shutters. Toay these shutters were closed and from the bell knob hung a fold of crei* that attracted the attention of persons parsing by. lleyond this air of gloom there was nothing remarkable In the appearance of the house or the tirst story, but when the point of ision included the upper story there was something rather unusual in exterior house lecoratlons. Draped fromltbe three windows ... that lloor Is a wide strip of black stull, evidence of mourning of high order. In the center of each of the wlndowsllls. just where the black Is fastened, Is a rosette. If the rosettes had been black tli nnght have excited less comment, but they are not black. Two of them, one at each end, are red, while the one in the middle Is white, the house and the manner of the arrangement combine to form the colors of the dead Confederacy, and their display at this time made it evident some one was sorry because Jefferson Davis was no more. A reporter called at the house this alternoon. and was greeted by a quiet appearing lady of bout 50 years of age. She was the decorator, and was proud of the fact. She wore a close Uttlng brown dress that was quaker-llke In Its simplicity. "My name?" sue said, "IsfcMrs. Frederick Fairfax, and 1 am a Washingtouian born.

What the House Committee Discovered of His Crook

TBE SILCOTr DEFALCATION.

Has

edness.

THE SHINING LIGHT OF THE DEMOCRACY'S FORGERIES,

He Consulted a Lawyer as Extradition, Took a Pile of Money and Skipped.

WASHINGTON, December 7.—Mr. Leedom has been gathering 6ome additional facts bearing on the defalcation of Cashier Sllcott. There has been a good deal of speculation as to why Sllcott took up a number of notes at the National Metropolitan bank last week, just before he disappeared. Mr. Leedom has just secured an explanation, which is to the effect that the cashier forged the names of members of the house and other persons to no less than thirty-live notes aggregating $14,500 and It was these notes which he took up November 27th. It Is Mr. Leedoin's theory that SUcott's object in paying out this large sum of moDey, which he might just as well have carried off. was to avoid extradition.

After examining Mr. Ballantyne, the paying teller of the sergeant-at-arms' office, as to the method of doing bu-iness in the office, this moraIng, the special committee of Investigation turned Its attention to that branch of the question. Carerul examination will be made of the notes, and It Is the opinion of several members of the committee who have some legal reputation, that if they turn out to be forged, then Sllcott may still be extradited, providing sufficient proof upon that point Is obtainable, notwithstanding Ills precaution In taking up and presumably destroying the notes. Then too, Mr. Leedom states that Sllcott made off with some of his personal funds, which, if true, would place him fairly within the grasp of the extradition laws.

While Mr. L'jedoui has been taking steps to cause the arrest of the defaulter, with which the committee has not concerned Itself, a rumor was current this morning that Sllcott had been cap tured at Albany, but confirmation was lacking. Mr. Leedom to-day received an unsigned letter from New York saying that Sllcott was seen at the Grand Central railway depot Monday night In company of a man named Miller, and that he purchased two tickets for Buffalo This will form the subject of immediate Inquiry. A number ot representatives dropped In at the room of the sergeant-at-arms to inquire for news. Most of them resent even the insinuation that they are iikelv to lose their back salaries and earnestly contend that the government Is responsible for their loss and must repay them. The com mlttee Is. meanwhile, delving Into the books, calling rreinently on Mr. Leedom and Mr. Whelpley, the assistant treasurer, lor help In straightening out accounts, and the prospects are entlrelyagalnst Its balng able to report to the house when It re-as-sembles on Monday.

Kepresentatlve Thompson, of Ohio, was belore the committee this afternoon In connection with the inquiry Into the character of the notes taken up by Sllcott. lie was contronted with the record of a note purporting to be his for the amount of a month's salary cashed in September. Sir. Thompson declared that he was not In Washington, and denied positively that he had ever made such a note. Kepresentatives Stone, of Missouri, Mansur, Caruth. Crisp. Herbett and four or five other members testified to the fame effect In respect to notes made out In their names, Mr. Caruth stating that he was In Europe when the note purporting to be his note was made

The forged notes purported to be paper el members of congress for whom Mr. Slxott was to raise money. No record of them is made in the books in the sergeant-at-arms office, as there should have been had they been g-nulne. and the members whose names were attached to them say they never made out such notes, it Is supposed these forgeries were Cashier Sllcott's first step In the crime. It Is believed they were Issued by him to cover losses on horse races, that lie hoped to win enough to take them up, but failed to do so. and simply got deeper Into the pit, forgery following forgery, until the thirty-live notes were out. With the opening of tbe new congress, the hour had come, and being unable to settle his accounts he decided to make big haul. Berore going with the money he got from the treasury, It Is understood he consulted a lawyer who advised him to take up the notes so as to destroy the evidence ot the forgeries as the crime is covered by our extradition treaty with Great Britain. Two or three days before taking the money and his departure Mr Sllcott called on Representative Kennedy, and asked if he was a good lawyer, saying that lie had a law point he wanted settled. He hesitated, however, about, presenting the point, and linHily suUI he would call again. He called twice alter this, but found Mr Kennedy out each time. Mr. Kennedy never learned what his errand was.

A TERRIBLE TRAGEDY-

A Rp.jected Lover Shoots tho Gln'g Father, Her Sister, Herself and Himself. ST. Louts, December 7.—Casper Cllspy was machinist, 27 years old, and loved Mary Anson aged 22, a daughter of John Anson, also a machinist, and co-worker of Cllspy's in the Missouri Pacific railroad shop. Cllspy was a confirmed opium eater, and Anson had forbade him visiting his daughter. A few minutes before 6 o'cl£ck this morning Cllspy went to Anson's house, 3,134 Hickory street. The family were at breakfast. Some angry words passed between the men. when Cllspy drew a re volver and fired at Anson, Inflicting a mortal wound. He then shot his sweetheart Mary, and her younger sister, Agnes, fatally wounding the former and seriously Injuring the latter. All fell to the floor, and while they lay there bleeding the distracted murderer placed his pistol atlhis owh head and bl-w Ills brains out, dying In halt an hour. His body was taken to the morgue and physicians were called to attend the wounded Ansone. Mr. Anson was shot In the head and died about noon. Mary was also shot In the head, but the ball glanced around under the scalp and made only a flesh wound, which will soon heal. Agnes received a ball above the lelt temple which penetrated the brain and still remains there. She will undoubtedly die. Michael Anaon. a lad of 15 years grappled with the murderer and was shot In the wrist and niuid. but the would Is not severe. Lilly and Maggie Anson, two other children were not hurt. When Cllspy entered the house he had a pistol In each hand, and as It is now learned, began at once and without other warning than pranouncing the word, "now. When young Michael grappled with him lie dropped one of his pistols, and ran up to a porch or balcony in the second floor of the house, and there fired three balls Into his head. It is said that Ciispy had forced his attentions on Miss Mary and that when he found she did not care for him. and that the lamily wer-) opposed to their marriage, he had threatened to have blood.

AMUSEMENTS.

Herman's second entertainment was. il possiele mare pleasing than the first. The audience, a veay good one though not larire enough, was even •nore enthusiastic than the evening before. The wizard's remarkable manipulation and powers of entertaining as he performed his feats with grace ind celerity, charmed his visitors. The programmewas changed, one of the new events being the production of the gold fish lioatlng In glass bowls filled with water. Where they came from was as hard to tell as to where other things lied Nothing Is piettler or more li,explicable than the shower of bright llowers poured from the empty cone of paper. Instead of the spiritualistic s.-ene was the series of art views, a great number of dissolving-and phantasmagoric pictures of surpassing beauty.

Among the liberal collection may be mentioned the superb view of the cathedral cloisters, changing to a view of the whole interior, a priestly procession marching across the scene the cemetery with its tombs and the magical apparition of the skeleton the steamship moving upon the sea and dissolving Into a ship under sail, coming hows on, rising and falling on the heaving billows the picture of the children blowing bubbles, the bubbles rising frcm the pipe and floating away the phliix, with beautiful changing effects of light the remarkable drawing ot geometric lathe-work wliloh, line by line, was traced In all Its graceful curves and concentric turns before the eyes of the mystified gazers and there were about fifty more lews to combine romance, art. amusement and Ilablery. The whole entertainment was delightful.

tiest female chorus, but also the tallest and shortest male chorister on the stage. The former is seven feet seven inches high, the latter under three teet, quite a contrast in height.

The Concert Guarantee association will bring Ovlde Musln, the great French violinist, to Terre Haute on the 17th of February. The concert will be In the Opera house. He will be supported by a magnificent company, Including a soprano, a contralto, a bass and a solo pianist. His tour through the large cities of the country last year was a perfect ovation.

The engagement ot the charming comedienne.Miss Victoria Vokes. supported by Theare A Cooper's excellent comedy company, at Navlor's on next Tuesday evening, December 10th, promises to be quite a fashionable event.

Miss Vokes was a member of the celebrated Vokes family who delighted thousands for years with their merry making In "Belles of the Kitchen'-' "Fun in a Fog," and other plays, and was noted for her versatility and rare and artistic charms, which made her one of the most popular of the company. Since Miss Voices has make her re entre iiiion the American stage she has been meeting with marked favor by the better class ol tneatvr goers, and Is being greeted by large and fashionable audiences everywhere. "Tho Hough Diamond," and "Hubby," two bright and wholesome comedies, are the plays In which -Miss Vokes is scoring her great success, and like her accomplished sister, she will be royally received. Advance sale opened Saturday.

Unless all signs fall, next Wednesday night will witness an au Hence assembled at Naylor's opera house, both In quantity and quality, that will outnumber any previous assemblage there for long time.

Messrs. Illce A xey have attained a national reputation throughout America as producers of the beautiful, as seen In "Evangeline," "Adonis," etc., but in the "Pearl of Pekln" have excelled all their former efforts. Tills will be one of the first of their productions ever seen here in its original form and entirety, and one of the first presentations of the production in what Is termed a "one night stand," but notwithstanding that fact.it will be seen in Its entirety, with all the original company and extravagantly gorgeous surroundings of Its metropolitan nresentatftn.

It lsa-part and portion of the contract that Manager Naylor can personally guarantee this assertion,the object being to prevent any misconception as to there being an inferior performance veil. As tills organization is one of the few that deserves to be seen in all its granduer. It should be welcomed by an audience large enough to test the utmost capacity ot the Opera house The sale of seats commences to-morrow morning. A special scale of prices has been adjusted, ihe highest price seats being $1.25, which is very reasonable when it Is taken into consideration It has never been presented anywhere in the past two years .at less than *1.50. The New York Herald, speaking of Its performances of 250 nights in that city, says: "The last and greatest success of Rice .t Dlxey is 'The Pearl of Pekln.' and in Its gorgeous splendor, In Its wealth of vivacity and mirth, Its nielodv. its catchy ditties. Its torrent of beautiful female anatomy, it Is almost beyond adequate description."

PATROLMAN SULLIVANCASE.

Wlint :i Responsible Citizen Says A I'nut tlie Charges AgaliiSt. Sulliviiii. It seems that the police board's exoneration of Patrolman Sullivan will not end the matter. He was arraigned and tried by the police board on complaint or a lady living on Spruce street, who omplalned that he had Insulted her. As stated before his defense was that he had been mistaken lti the person to whom he was addressing his imjroper remarks, and the police board exonerated urn. A responsible citizen expressed himself as follows concerning the case since the trial: "Policeman Sullivan was drunk on that evening, and I Intend to see that he be required to account for his acts. I pay taxes In tills city, and I do not propose to pay taxes to support such men. A member ot tlie police Imrdtoldme that he had advised Sullivan to resign from the force because he had put himself In an awkward position, and that that would be the best way out of it. The police board has exonerated Sullivan, but I have ample prool that he was drunk, and 1 intend to see that the ease Is taken higher than the police board." A member of the police board gave Sullivan's derense by saying that he (Sullivan) had known a woman who had been employed at the house, and had gone into the house to S: the latter woman and was mistaken in the p-rson to whom he was speaking.

THE GREAT BANK OF ROME.

The Gigantic Financial Koterprise to be Started—A Denial. XKW YORK, December ".—The Herald this morning devotes one page to matter which appears under these headlines: "Rome's great bank under America's Hag. The most gigantic financal scheme the world has ever seen, backed by the pope.' Cuts reprrsentlng seats of the propose! bank and of the figure of the pope In an attitude of bestowing benediction, consumes nearly two columns of space. The Universal association bank and trust company Is about to be formed under the special benediction of the pope of Rome, with a capital of SIOO.POO.OOO, to receive, care for, and Invest not only the enormous funds of the church, but the private fortunes of Its members. The money or all other persons and sects are to be received and invested as well.

With grants and chartered rights the company will proceed to establish a bank In the cltyof New York with branches in the following cities: London, Paris, Rome. Berlin, Hamburg. Vienna. St. Petersburg. Barcelona and Havana: In the l'nlted States, at Chicago. St. Louis, Omaha, Topeka. San Francisco and other places.

The capital or this great bank Is to be $100,(XXV C00. It Is to be known as the Universal association bank and trust company, and It is to have In tills country a president and board of from fifteen to twenty-one directors. In Rome. Paris and London the head of the branch Is to be known as "Governor."- The Italian directors Include Colonel George William Cameron Leybourne, C. who has the benediction of the po for the b.ink.

In America, a gentleman well known in the politics of the state of New York and In financial circles, has accepted the office ot president. Nearly all the work of organizing the main batik Is complete. The directors have all been chosen, but have not yet got together to take the last ssep that Is, the actual founding of the Institution. It Is expected it will be done Monday or Tuesday of next week.

Archbishop Corrlgati was seen in regard to the statement published this morning that a great Honun Catholic bank with a capital of .tlXI.000.00 was about to be started In this city. The archbishop said: "You can deny the whole thing most positively. This Sir. Leyburn is a most consummate liar. The whole tiling is a gigantic sceme of swindling. 1 have never In any shape or torm given any sanction or countenance to Sir. I.eyburn's scheme. Mr. Eugene Kelly Mr. Hoguet and Sir. James Lynch, who have been mentioned In connection with the matter, all of them stote most positively that they would never approve it. The story that 1 had friends in the Vatican pushing the scheme Is an unmitigated falsehood. The Vatican has never written a line tome or I to them In reference to this matter. .Moreover there are documents In my possession which characterize Mr. Leyburn as a liar and a iraud. This papal benediction does not amount to anvtlilng. It Is simply blank form which any one can buy and fill In."

Archbishop Corrigan then showed the reporter a long letter which he had received from Colonel Lay burn, asKlng the archbishop's support for the proposed bank, and offering him l.tHllI shares of the stock 11 the enterprise received the archbishop's support. The "colonel" also said that if the enterprise succeded he had reason to know that some one might receive red stockings, "Intimating of course theteby," said the archbishop, "that I might be made a cardinal besides offering me a bribe. I took no notice of any of the tellow's letters, and when he called he was not admitted to the house and orders were given never to admit him on any pretense."

Eugene Kellv, who was siid to have been offered and accepted the governorship of the New York end of the company, to-day said to the reporter that the story was chimerical and worthy of Colonel Slulberry Sellers.
