INTELLECT. AT A DISCOUNT.

Germany Overcrowdcd by Idle Elem WHO
HnVc neen Educated at Gniversitle&
Germany suffers from an intellectual
overproduction, according to tlcfForum
All professions are ovcrcrowled. II
was fondtE believed up to our DAYS that:
the state had no more important tas!:
than to render the Acquiring of lznoNvl-r
edge as easy as possible, and for that,
purpose to establish many higher
schools. But it was not asked whether
there YVES room enough for e.:lployins-
men and women when their education
WAS finished. Taking, for instance, the
career OF law in Prussia, we find that
there are 1851 men who have not only
passed through the gymnasium and til"
university, but have already served the
state gratis for about five years, while
tho ANIMAL average demand is 100.
There are more than 1000 examined
architects without % fixed cg.,ploy-
mcntsr it Is the same with en-
ginccrs, teachers in classics, nathc-.
rnltics. etc. These unemployed forces
arc particularly attracted to the great
capitals because everyone hopes that
with the many chances they offer lie
find q gap into which he may Jump.
Men of university training arc almost
without exception capable only Of in
tcllectual work. If they do. not sue
coed in their branch they cannot be-
como tailors or carpenters; they must
take to pcttlfogging, giving lessons,
copying. writing for papers, etc. There
are lawyers, physicians, doctors of phil
osopliy among those who are regularly
relieved by the Berlin poor board. All
these men arc, of course, discontenSed
with tho present state of things and
ready TO join with those forces which
h"ld out hope of overthrowing it. Nor
are female candidates wanting in thi..
proletariat: all those who give cheap
lessons. write mediocre novels for low
class journals or work for shops at STAR
vation wages arc swelling the army Of
social revolution.

According to this information the rebels
have so silenced opposition with the
guns Of their ships that they have been
able TO land strong forces OF sailors and
marines and that they have seized and
retained possession Of the arsenal and
the custom house. Admiral Demellos,
the insurgent chief. IS receiving rein
forcements on all sides. troops, money
and provisions are being placed at his
disposal ard he feels confident Of ulti-
mate success.
Admiral DemeIIOs's Terms.
a conference has taken place between
the friends Of President Peixoto and Ad-
miral Demellos at which the former
sought TO make terms with the insur-
gents. The admiral is reported TO have
replied that unconditional surrender was
the only thing which he would accept.
The insurgents in the South are said
to be supplying Admiral DemellOs with
arms and ammunition besides sending him
money and provisions. Seven vessels SO
laden are said to have slipped past the
forts and two other vessels chased by the
government warship Tiradents is said
to have been on their way to Rio. The
damage done by the bOmbardment OF
Rio Janeiro and Nichteroy is much great
er than at first believed.
Preparations are being made by Ad-
miral DemellOs together with a sufficient
force Of troops and sailors to march upon
Santa Anna with the intention or captur-
ing the president if possible.

WRECK ON THE BIG FOUR,
SEVEN KILLED AND SIXTEEN IN
JURED NEAR KANKAKEE.
A Rear End Collision Because the
FIagman Was Not Sent Back to Do

CHICAGO, Sept. 1S.-Seven were killed
and sixteen injured in a tail-end collision

H.. tonight The first section of a pas
senger train which left Chicago early this
morning stopped at Manetho. for what
reason is unknown. and it seems that a

into the first with the result above
stated.
A wrecking train was sent out from
Kankakee as soon as possible and Svery-
thing possible done TO relieve the suf-
fering of the injured. A special train

any definite details from the scene of
the wreck until the special train reaches
the city.
Later-Information received at 2:45 a.
m. is to the effect that the last car on
the first section Of the train was a sleeper
with no passengers. Throush some over
sight no red lights were set on the rear
end Of the second section. which was
running five minutes behind the first
when it crashed into it at Manteno. driv-
ing the sleeper into the coaches ahead.

A Slight Rainfall.

MARSHFIELD. Wis, Sept. H.-An-
other call for help was received this
forenoon from Mcmillan asking for all
available men and buckets that Marsh
field could send. A special was made up
over the Lake Shore and upward of two
hundred answered the call. On arriving
there they found the fire approaching
from the East driven by a strong wind.
They were soon in forming a buckes bri-
gade, fought the fires and held the flames
at bay until o'clock this afternoon.
when a slight downpour of rain checked
the fires and gave the tired workers
breathing spell. Charles Mcmillan ar
rived there this morning from Fon du
Lac, bringing with him 500 feet Of hose,
which is being used. The fire today was
as fierce as any yet had and as the wind
has subsided and the sky betokens rain
it is believed that Mcmillan Will pun
through. 1t rained quite hard in this
city today and has put out nearly all the
fires. The air is cleared Of smoke.

ing that there have been twelve cases
Of cholera here since the 18th Of the

to be Asiatic cholera Five Of these
cases proved fatal today and there have
been in addition three further cases Of
deaths from cholera. Four deaths have
occurred in the suburbs Of Saint George
and one in Saint PAUL.. Cases Of illness

After the surrender of Nichteroy the
civil guards are reported to have sided
with the insurgents, who have received
large additions to their fleet. The forts
for several days remained loyal TO the
president and replied warmly to the fire
Of the warships, but the latter are not
known to have sustained any serious In
jury and were certainly able to drive the
president and his government out OF Rio.
The president with a body Of troops
still adhering to his cause is encamped
at the village OF Santa Anna, twelve
miles from Rio, where he is awaiting the
onslaught of the rebels. In spite Of the
seemingly desperate position in which he
is placed the president is not dishearten-
ed, nor is he without friends.
Congress Loyal TO the President.
The official reports received here say
that congress has passed a vote declar-
ing itself loyal TO Peixoto and sustain
ing him in his struggle with the in
surgents. The rebel fleet now numbers
nine vessels, large and small, all under
the command of Admiral Demellos.
In addition the rebels have been rein
forced by the naval forces Of Cabras
island, situated in the bay Of Rio de
Janeiro, about one mile from the city.
TT. Cabras is one of the principal de-
fenses Of Rio and is also the state
prison from which all the better class
Of prisoners, especially these confined
for official offenses, have been liberated
and Joined the rebel forces.
Ft. Vnleganon is now said to be hold
ing a neutral position in the rebellion
with The probability that its garrison
will side with the insurgents in the near
future. other advices say that the gar
rison of this fort has already joined
issue with the insurgents and the latter
are having things all their own way.
Ft. Santa Cruz. at the entrance Of the
harbor, is still loyal, the official advices
say and it seems likely that this fort
resS will hold out longer than the others
as the insurgents are said to be highly
incensed at the resistance II has made
and to be prepared TO wreak vengeance
upon it's garrison when it surrenders.
No Harsh Methods.
It is not believed, however. that the
insurgents will act too harshly with the
soldiers at Santa Cruz, as the policy of
the insurgent leaders since they have
landed has been one of Cancellation. This
mOQeTdllon upon liSh pa - NNAO -
great measure to the fact that the for
eign war ships have had healthy re-
straining influence upon the movements
and action Of the insurgents. Ft. Santa
Cruz must surrender before many more
days pass for the garrison is short Of
provisions and the rebels have control of
the waterways leading to the fort, and
they have taken care that no food shall
reach the plucky garrison from the land
side. Several attempts made by the
troops of the garrison to obtain provis-
ions have been defeated by the rebels.
The above facts are admitted in the Off
ciaI dispatches received here. but the
private advices go a great deal further.
