WOMEN DIsFRANCHIsED AGAIN.
Some of Them Organize and VIII Contest
for Their Rights.

CHICAGO, Oct. 2O.-In accordance with
an opinion rendered by the County Attor-
ney, the Board of Election Commissioners
to-day issued instructions to clerks and
judges in the coming election for county Of
ieers that "Only such women as have re-
ceived a certificate of naturalization from
some Court of Record in this State prior to
January l, 1870, are entitled to register"
The new Australian ballot law. under
which this election is to be held, provides
that women may vote for Superintendent of
Schools; but its wording is such as to admit
of the construction given it. Under this
ruling The women are DISTINGUISHED, as
there are not, in all probability, a half
dozen women in the city and county who
can cast their ballots under the ruling.
Some of the women have already organized
to push forw ard their rights under the law,
and a sharp fight is expected.

securities. Further fighting is,reported
IN Brazil, and the opposition forces are
again credited with victory, but the
spot where the battle was fought is not
stated; but 1t is supposed to have been
in the vicinity of Santa Anna, near
Porto Alegrede, the capital of Rio
Grande Do Sui. A number of other
towns, In addition to Porto Alegrede,
are reported to have hoisted the nag of
the national party of Brazil, and large
bodies of troops are being raised in the
provinces with the ultimate intention,
II is said, of advancing upon the dicta-
tors headquarters at Sac Paolo.
II is now said that Da Fonseca's idea
In leaving Rio Janeiro for Sac Paolo
was undoubtedly caused by the two
facts already mentioned in these dis
patches, namely, that he makes his base
Of operations there because it is near
Santos, port he is said to be certain he
can count upon, because he can there
prevent q juncture between the forces
of the province of Rio Grande Do Sui,
and, finally, because his advisers are
said to be of the opinion that the politi-
cal atmosphere Of Rio Janeiro is not at
the present moment thoroughly bene-
ficial to the dictator's health.

Tracey and other officials of the navy
department, when shown the dispatch
published in New York stating that
Admiral Gherardi was to be ordered to
relieve Admiral Brown of the command

that it had no founnation whatever. No
such orders, they said, have been issued
and so far as they know none have been
contemplated by the administration.
Admiral Gherardi, 1t Is said, will con-
tinue to cruise in the vicinity of the
West Indies where he now is. The de-
partment has ordered fhe Concord to
Join the Philadelphia and Kearsarge in
the West Indies, and she will probably
leave New York on Monday or Tues
day for, St. Thomas. The report that
Admiral Gherardi would act as minister
to Chill, relieving Minister Egan, is

A Financial Dispatch Tells OF Secession
and Fighting in Brazil.
\ LONDON, Nov. 14.--Even the most
alarming reports from Brazil are con-
frmed by a dispatch received by lead
ing financial house having large inter-
ests In Brazil. This message, SO far as
untangled from the cipher complica-
tions In which 1t has been wrapped, says
in substance: affairs look bad; up-
heaval has been; result uncertain; sew
eral provinces revolving; troops joining
opposition; Fonseca can't count on navy;
health bad; fighting going ON some
where; Fonseca's defeated, exchange
dropping: garrison Rio uneasy; finance
blue; paper money under cloud; prices
everything rising; presence strong Brit
ish fleet good effect; opposition gaining
every hour; much bloodshed possible. .
From the above synopsis of the situa-
tion 1t will be seen that the worst Is to
be feared. Other and similar messages,
some Of them giving more details, and
others still being of a decidedly more
sensational character, have been re-
ceived In London during the last few
hours.

THE REVOLUTION SPREADING.

Advices from Santiago Regarding the
Brazilian situation.
SANTIAGO DE chill, Nov. 14.--Accord-
ing to advices received here, civil war
has undoubtedly broken out in Brazil,
and the revolutionary movement is
spreading all over the country. Several
provinces are already up In arms against
the dictator, and q battle has been
fought somewhere, in which Da Fon-
seca's supporters were defeated. In ad-
dition to the revolt in the province Of
Rio Grande Do Sui, it is stated here
that the interior provinces Of Matte
Crosse, Goyaz and Para, have either al
ready joined issues with the rest OF the
national party, or else they are on the
point of SO doing. It il stated here that
thd plan of campaign of the leaders
OF the national party is that each
Of the provinces Of Rio Grande Do Sui,
Goyax, Para, Pernambuco and Minas-
Geraes, shall concentrate at q given
point, all the fighting men possible, and
that these forces shall make combined
forward movement upon the dictator'f
strongholds in Sac Paulo and Rio ia
metro and, to use the expression, drive
him and his supporters into the sea- and
elect president of Brazil who win gov.
ern for the people and according TO Tho
peoples laws. Chilians, after passing
through just such an experience as Bra,
I'll seems to be undergoing, after having
suffered through long months of civil
war, due to conduct on the part Of Bal
maceda almost identical with that Of
Da Fonseca, are heartily in sympathy
with the Nationalist party of Brazil
and look for the speedy overthrow Of
that country's Balmaceda.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.-Inquiry at
the state department in reference to
John Treber, of Deadwood, s. D., who
is now in the military prison at Weiner,
Germany, developed the fact that he
took out passport for himself and
wife Sept. Z hast. In his request for a
passport he stated that he was born in
1853, came to this country in 1874, and
was naturalized in Deadwood in 1880.
If he was of age, liable to military SER
vice at the time he left Germany, this
government can do nothing for him.
Several instances Of this character have
arisen and the state department cannot
have him released if he failed to serve
in the German army as required by the
laws Of that country.
