King, Jenne and Leatherman are charged
with running games of chance. One count
in Kings indictment also charges bribery.
Drake, Leatherman and Bruer are accused
of conspiracy to extort money from con-
tractors. 1t is related in substance how
these three, Leatherman and Bruer being
aldermen, and Drake contractor, combined
to prevent any contracts being let unless
the contractor had first contributed TO them
by buying material from them at eXorbitant
prices. Degarmo is charged with obtaining
money under false pretenses by accepting
$25 for an appointment which he claimed to
be in a position to secure. The indict-
ment charging conspiracy against Kremer,
Ahern, Donohue, Debo and Kimball is the
outcome of an attempt to have the law firm
of Stone & Sudduth indicted on a charge
: of bribery, the latter having the accussrs in

cused of falling to perform his duty as a

Copyright, 1897, by the Associated Presu.)
LONDON, Jan. 30.-The conservative
newspapers warmly protest against the pro-
tracted debate on the address in reply to
the speech from the throne at the opening
OF Parliament. They claim the debate was
about nothing and that it reduced the House
to the level of a provincial debating society.
Yesterdays proceedings were the first series
of practical business. The grave remarks
of the secretary of state for the colonies,
Joseph Chamberlain, on the situation in
South Africa, have created a deep impress
sion, more especially as they were uneX-
pected. The members assembled in the
lobby afterward and discussed his remarks,
in which he hinted at dangerous undercur-
rents in affairs at the Cape, and remarked
that his tone in reference to the Transyaal
was much sterner than his former utterances
on the same subject The conservative news
papers greatly praise Mr.. Chamberlain's at
titude and the Globe expresses the hope
that President Kruger will take the warn
ing to hart, for persistence in injury and
insult in Boer dealing will only result in the
assertion once for all of the British su-
premacy in South Africa" The comments
of the other papers pointed to the commit
tee as expected to rake up evidence of Boer
treachery and intrigue.

LONDON, Jan. 30.-Tte plague is still in
creaslng in Bombay. There are 12S cases
announced on Thursday, the highest since
the beginning of the outbreak Doctors
are being sent to Bombay from England
and several other countries are sending ex-
perts to study the epidemic. 1t is reported
that Germany will recall Prof. Koch from
the Cape in order to head commission to
Bombay, each country sending its leading
authorities The Mansion house famine
fund has now reached 1900 (sSS5, ,OO0) ir-
respective of the large subscriptions which
are being raised in thel big provincial
towns. Glasgow and Manchester have each
sent f25OOO (s125,OOO) to India direct. The
lord mayor of London, George Faudel Phil
lips, in an interview today, said he wanted
to raise IL ,OO0, 900 and hoped he would get
1t. He added that II was rather singular that
the champion donation (f2,000) came from an
American, William Waldorf Astor.

tnnce TO the building.
LONDON, Jan. 30.-A dispatch from
Athens says that trouble has been brewing
at the university, owing to a quarrel be-
tween the students and Prof Galvelani.
The students finally armed themselves and
took possession of the premises, remaining
there for three days and nights, Yesterday
the Grecian government decided to close the
university. A line of troops was accordingly
thrown around the buildings and the water
supply was cut off. II was estimated that
fully 800 students remained within the walls
c( the university. Those within the build
ings were allowed to leave at any time, but
admission was absolutely refused by the
troops to all persons. demonstration by
the students who remained on the streets
was accordingly planned A procession of
students attempted to reach the palace for
the purpose of demanding from the king
the dismissal of the professor. The police
and troops resisted the students mob and
the authorities finally ordered firearms dis
charged in the air. The students returned
the fire with revolvers. During the fight a
boy was killed and several wounded. At a
meeting of the cabinet 1t was decided to
maintain the blockade until the students
yielded to the authorities. The palace and
other buildings are strongly guarded.
The university was founded in 1873 and
during recent years over 200 students have
been in annual attendance. The staff of the
university consists OF fifty-two professors and
includes some of the most learned Greek
archaeologists in Europe.

interest in sporting circles. 1t is everywhere
conceded that It was the most desperate
glove fight seen in England, and experts join
in the opinion that the American would have
won II the police had not stopped the fight.
1t is probable that the two men will soon
meet again in Birmingham, where the excel
lent arrangements of the Olympic club are
in marked contrast to those of the National
Sporting club Of London.
THEATRICAL GOSSIP
The theaters have had a prosperous week.
The melodrama entitled "a Free Pardon"
at the Olympic thester, first produced on
Thursday night, was well received. Miss
Esme Beringer, who represented the heroine,
scored a decided success and won universal
praise from the critics, who say that her
acting as we'll as her beauty improve every
day. The sensation of the piece is the escape

dense fog, recalling the recent escape Of
