DOM PEDRO DISEMBARKS. He Will Issue a Manifesto to the Bra- zilian People. Liszoxn, Dec. 7.—The Alagoas with Dom Pedro on board arrived in the ‘Lagus this morn- ing flying the old Brazilian flag and dropped anchor, The ex-emperor and wife, the Compte D'Eu and his wife, the ex-Crown Princess Isabel, their children and the prince of Saxe-Coburg, Dom Pedro's other son-in- law, landed immediately at the naval arsenal, Before they left the steamer she was boarded by King Carlos, who. exten:ie] a warm welcome to the ex-emperor. Dom Pedro is in excellent spirits and appears not to have suffered by the recent events in Brazil, It is said that he intends to issue a manifesto to the Brazilian people, Baron de Loreto, who was the last minister of the interior under Dom Pedro, was also aboard the Alagoas, It is learned from interviews with members of Dom Pedro’s party thathe andhis family wereat his summer residence at Petropolis, near Rio Janeiro, when the revolution occurred, Upon learning of what had happened heatonce returned to Rio Janeiro and held a meeting of his ministers and councillors of state, He tried to form o new ministry, with Senor Harawa at its head, but to this Gen, Da Fonseca objected, saying that a re- public had been declared and was supported by the military; that the presence of the im- perial family in Brazil was incompatible with the existing state of affairs and that they must soon leave the country, The emperor, after consulting with his friends, decided to agree to the demands of the republicans, No com- munications were allowed to pass between Dom Pedro and the foreign representatives, HURKIED OFF. IN THE NIGHT. At 2 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 they were still in bed. He bore written orders from Gen, Da Fonseca that the emperor and his family should embark forthwith, The government would not allow them to wait until daylight, as they feared that any demonstra- tion in the streets in favor of Dom Pedromight result in bloodshed, This measure was con- sidered 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 wife, Princess Isabelle, the emperor‘s daughter, and their children were compelled to leave the palace at 3 o'clock Sunday morning and walk to the quay. Dom Pe- @roand the empress followed them imme- diately in a carriage under escort of a body of troops, The imperial party embarked on a steam launch and were taken to a man-of-war, waich immediately proceeded to Ilha Grande, an island 68 miles from Rio Janeirs, where the party were kept as prisoners until the after- noon, when they were transferred to the Alagoas, The latter vessel at once sailed for Lisbon, The ironclad Riachuclo accompanied the Alagoas to prevent the landing of the royal prisoners at Bahia or any other Brazilian port, ‘THE TEMPORARY CONSTITUTION. The republican government of Brazil issued adecree on November 15 containing eleven articles, It proclaimed a provisional federal republic, The united provinces of Brazil will form the confederation and will electits de- liberative bodies and local governments, Until the election of the new legislators the provi- sional government will govern the coun- try. The federal state governments will immediately adopt steps to secure the hberty of citizens of Brazil and foreign residents. Where the means to maintain order are not sufficient the authorities can appeal to the public forces, The federal government being proclaimed no other form of government will be recognized until the nation expresses its wishes by popular suffrage in this respect, The army and navy will be subject exclusively to the orders of the provisional government or the provincial representatives, The civil and military officials will be subordinate to the central government. Rio Janeiro is consti- tuted the provisional capital of the confedera- tion. The secretaries of state of the provis- ional government are charged with the execution of the decree. The decree is signed by Gen. Do Fonseca, president; Loba, minister of the interior; Barboza, minister of finance; Bocayara, minister of foreign affairs; Cantant, minister of war, and Vanderholtz, minister of marine, = IN THE EMPEROR'S WORDS, “The vessel upon which we were placed,” said the emperor, ‘“‘was the Parnahyba. As soon as we were on board she took her de- parture for Ilha Grande, Upon our 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 burt as she was being hauled on board the Alagoas. I, myseif,was deeply affected and spent the time watching the coast as it gradually disappeared from view. When the shore line dropped be- low the horizon I let fly a carrier pigeon bear- ing my farewell message to Brazil. ‘The ex-emperor eagerly questioned his inter- viewer about the news from Brazil which had been published in Europe. He was delighted upon learning that the Brazilian flag was unchanged. It is Dom Pedro's intention to visit the opera house tomorrow and bear the opera ‘‘Othello.” He looks to be enjoying splendid health, The empress appears frightened and dazed. When King Carlos boarded the Alugoas he met Dom Pedro at the top of the stairs, The dethroned mperor and the king kissed heartily. ‘ew words passed between them and Brazil was not alluded to, The ex-empress said: *‘I never will forgive those republicans for their rough treatment of me.” SoS Mr. Rathbone is Worse. Lira, Onto, Dec. 7.—The condition of the Hon, J. H. Rathbone of Washington has changed materially for the worse, and last | evening telegrams were sent to all the Grand lodge Knight of Pythias officials, asking that they come atonce.

Silcott May be Indicted and His Extra- dition Asked For. FORGERY AND GRAND LARCEXT IcLUDED— WHAT WAS PROBABLY HIS FIRST STEP 1” CRIME—TRYING TO RECOUP HIS LOSSES AT TIE RACES—aN ANONYMOUS LETTER FROM KEW YORK. It has been discovered that the thirty notes, representing @14,000, which Silcott took up from Washington banks, were forgeries. These notes purported to be the paper of members of Congress for whom Mr. Silcott was to raise the money, No record of them is made in the | books in the sergeant-at-arms’ office, as there | should have been had they been genuine, and | the members whose names were attached to them say that they never made out such notes, It is supposed that these forgeries were Cashier Silcott’s first step into crime. It is be! that they were issued by him to cover losses on horse races; that he hoped to win enough money to take them up, buthe failed to do so and simply got deeper into the pit, forgery following forgery, until the thirty notes were out, With the opening of the new Congress THE HOUR OF RECKONING HAD Coste, and, being unable to settle up his accounts, he decided to make a big haul. Before going with the money he got from the Treasury it is understood that he consulted a lawyer, who ad- vised him to take up the notes, so.as to destroy evidence of the forgeries, as that crime is cov- ered by our extradition treaty with Great Britain, Two or three days before taking the money and his departure Mr. Sileott called on _ Representative Kennady and asked if he was a good lawyer, saying that he hada law point he wanted settled. He hesitated, however, about presenting the point, and finally said that he would call again. He called twice after this, butfound Mr, Kennady out each time. Mr. Kennady never learned what his law point was, but thinks he can guess now. It is understood that Mr. Silcott then went and found a lawyer who could give him advice con- cerning the extradition of criminals, CRAVEN EDWARD SILCOTT While the taking up of these notes embar- rasses the evidence of forgery it is thought that an indictmentcan be returned for forgery by the grand jury, thus making bis extradition possible, if he is found in Canada, As soon as possible the case will be sent to the grand jury and an attempt will be made to secure indictments for forgery and for grand larceny. Some of the Sires who have been cousiderin; the matter say that if it can be shown that Silcott drew the money with the in- tention of absconding with it an indictment for grand larceny may be returned by the grand jury. It would probably be mich easier to get an indictment for forgery and grand larceny than it would be to convict afterward. but an indictment for pur- oxes of extradition might serve ail purposes, le may be indicted in four counts: First, for grand larceny; second, for forgery; third, for embezzlement, and fourth, for breach of trust. He could be easily convicted of one of the last two counts, if not of the others, THE COMMITTER OF INVESTIGATION was in secret session again today examining Mr. Leedom and his paying teller, Mr. Ballen- tine. The Treasury experts are still working at the books in the sergeant-at-arms’ office under direction of Assistant United States Treasurer Whelpley. SILCOTT SEEN IN NEW YORK. Sergeant-at-Arms Leedom got an anonymous letter from New York this morning stating that Silcott had been seen there in company with a young man from this city and that they pur- chased ticketsfor Buffalo, As an evidence of how Silcott was trying to save himself by plunging deeper and deeper into every gambling scheme to get money to make good his forgeries. as it is believed, the fact is disclosed that for the past two months he has bought five MOURNING FOR JEFF DAVIS.

Beyond this gen- eral air of gloom there is nothing remarkable im the appearance of either the En- glish basement or the first story of No. 235, but when the point of vision includes the upper story there is a little something to look at. Draped from the three windows on that floor is a wide strip of black staff, evidence of mourning of a high order. In the center of each of the window sills, just where the black is fastened. is a rosette. It the rosettes were also black they would have excited less comment, but they ere not black. Two of them—one at each end—are red, while the one in the middie is white. The hues and the manner of their arrangement combine to form the colors of the dead confederacy, and their display at this time made it evident that some one was sorry because Jefferson Davis was no more, AN INTERVIEW WITH MRS. FATRFAX. A Srap reporter called at the house this afternoon and was greeted by a quiet-appear- | ing lady of about fifty years of age. She was the decorator and was proud of the fact. She wore a close-fitting brown dress | that was Quaker-like in ite simplicity. Around her waist wasa velvet belt fastened by acouple of little hooks and eyes, andat her throat was a brooch on which two affectionate doves were represented as erodes pd that pleasing operation known as “*billing.” . “My name?” said she, ‘Is Mrs. Frederick Fairfax, and lama Washingtonian born. Iam a southern woman and I put the mourning on the house because of President Davis’ death. Am I an admirer of Mr. Davis? Well, I should suy I am,” and Mrs, Fairfax'’s red checks assumed a — tint, her large gray- blue eyes flashed the doves looked as se they were ing. “I love him; I love his every word and act.” “You don’t scem to be afraid to say 80,” in- sinuated the reporter. “Afraid!” she exclaimed, her brown clad figure involuntarily straightening itself to an excessive degree. ‘‘Afraid!” she repeated. “Why I never was afraid of anybody or any- thing in my life.” WHO THE LADY 18. Mrs. Fairfax is the wife of Mr. Frederick Fairfax, said to be a gentleman of wealth. The city directory gives him no occu- pation, Mrs, Fairfar is a daughter of the late Lieut. Cooke of the United States army. who died a great many years ago, leaving to his daughter the ouse in which she and her husband reside. Mr, Fairfax was not actively engaged in the confederacy, but Mrs. Fairfax's rela- tives were all confederates, so she said this morning. It was suzgested to her by one of the newspaper men who called on her this morning that someone might try to tear the mourning emblems down, If any one enter- tains any such idea he only needs first see Mrs, Fairfax as she appeared when that sug- gestion was made; he willat once abandon his project. ‘A number of colored people gathered on the sidewalk opposite the house this morning and loudly criticised the action of the inmates, but they went no further, and at @ late hour this afternoon the dismal drapery and the red, white and red rosettes were still in place fluttering in the cool breezes aud reflecting their colors in the windows of the Lincoln school building, which bappens, eeey enough, to be precisely opposite No. ns MR. WOODWARD WANTED. How He Managed to Get Ahead of Several Washington Men. The police are looking fora man who spent several weeks in this city, giving the name of C, H. Woodward, and who claimed to be the manager of a large book concern in some otber city. So farasis known he had two offices in this city—one at No. 1321 F street and the other in room 99, Atlantic building. Woodward, itis alleged, inserted advertisements in the papers for managers for his offices, which were ans- wered by several persons, As large amounts of money would pass through their hands, he whole Louisiana state lottery tickets each month, LOUISE THIEBAULT. It was reported last night that Silcott and Herminie Thibault, his companion, had been traced to Quebec. Mr. Leedom states that Silcott made off with some of his personal funds, which, if true, would place him fairly within the grasp of the extradition laws. Mr. Leedom has been taking ste; the arrest of the defaulter, with whic! mittee has not concerned itself yet, Arumor wascurrent this morning that Sil- cott hud been captured at Albany, but con- firmation was lacking. A number of Repre- sentatives dropped in at the sergeant-at- arms’ office today to inquire for news. Most of them resent even the insinua- tion that they are likely to lose their back sala- ries and earnestly contend that the government is responsible for their loss and must repay them, The committee is meanwhile delving into the books, calling frequently on Mr. Lee- dom and Mr. Whelpley, the assistant treasurer, for help in straightening out the accounts, and the prospects are entirely against its being able to report to the House when it reassembles Monday, EVIDENCE AS TO THE FORGED NOTES, Representative Thompson (Ohio) was before the committee this afternoon in connection winh the inquiry into the character of the notes taken up by Bilcott He was confronted with the record of a note purporting to be his for the amount of a month's cashed in September, Mr. ingtou in September, and denied posiavely ton mber, anc let itive! that he had ever made such a note. Representatives Stone of Missouri, Mansur, Caruth, Crisp, Herbert and four or five other members testified to the same effect in respect to notes made out in their names. Mr. Caruth purporting to be his note was made, were thirty-five of these forged notes, each for the November salary of a member. need were discounted on the 17th of Novem- MEMBERS WHOSE XAMES HAVE BEEN FORGED. ‘The following are the members whose names to cause the com- Ohio, R were forged; Herbert, Turpin, Davidson of | 5; Florids, Bullock, Crisp, Grimes, said, he required each applicant to make a se- curity deposit.

He deposited $100 as security and managed one office for about four weeks, He received in that time $20 for his services, The next victim was Powell Griscom of 920 King street, Alexandria, He made a deposit of $150, and was put in charge of the office in the Atlantic building. He drew $38 as salary while ere. Oscar Wade of No. 12001 street southeast came along and deposited $100. He was ulso made manager of the Atlantic building office, ‘That was on Wednesday, and the next day the head manager disappeared. He dropped his employes each a letter telling them that he could no longer “stem the tide,” WOODWARD AND WIFE. The books he had onsale were mostly re- ligious works, one of them being “Talmag Pathway of Life.” Woodward also had outside agents at work, but it isnot known whether they had to depOsit security or not.
