indianapolis. Aug. Various esti-
mates are placed upon the amount of
money which the brewers are spend
ing in Indiana to bring about the cleo
ton of the democratic state and legis-
lative tickets Every estimate yet made
by any one in a position to form cor
rect judgment runs into six figures,
and there are some who believe the
brewers fund will easily reach a mill
lion dollars.
There are about twenty-six brewers
in the state which are understood to
be heavy contributors. All of the brew
cries having agencies in Indiana also
are among the subscribers. An Indian
apolis man. who declares he has his
information direct from a leading
brewer, has prepared a tabulated es-
innate of the fund raised to defeat
Congressman Watson and the republic
an legislative candidates. The total,
according to his statement, is 81, 025, 900.
Six Brewers Contribute.
He figures that six brewers have con-
tributed S25. 600 each. making $780, 600;
that te nmore brewers have Clipped in
$4,000 each. making $780, 900; that ten
of the smaller breweries have put in
$4,000 each, making $4,000; that 500
of the larger saloons of the state have
added 100000 more. or $500 each;
that 500 saloons of the second grade
have been put down on the contribu-
ton list for $3.50 each, making $4,000;
that 5000 saloons are down for 500
each and 1000 saloons for $50 each,
making $3.50, 900 more.
The contribution Of the outside brew
cries which have agencies in Indiana is
estimate dat 100000, and. finally, it is
estimated that the French Lick and
West Baden Hotel companies are suf-
fciently interested in the defeat of
Watson and the electric of a demo-
cratic house of representatives to con
tribute $4,000 each.
DistiIIers VIII Aid.

DISORDER REIeNs IN BERLIN.
Socialists Make Big Demonstration
and Clash with Police.

Berlin, Jan. 13.-The determination
of the socialists to secure direct uni
versal suffrage, combined with their
indignation against Chancellor Won
Buelow's curt declaration refusing
their demand, gave rise Sunday to an
unusual scene and monster popular
demonstration, accompand by dis
orders in the streets of the Prussian
capital in which 10000 socialists par
ticipated, with 10000 sympathizers,
from time to time actively joining in
the manifestations.
One of the most remarkable features
of the uprising was the number of
women who engaged in the demonstra-
tions and they appeared even more
earnest in their activities than the
men.
The authorities took the sternest
measures to prevent disorders and
the strictest precautions to protect
the assembly and other public build
ings and Prince Won Buelow's resi-
dence against the outburst of fury.
Groups in the streets were dispersed
in the most vigorous manner and col
lisions between professions of mani
festants and the police resulted in the
injury of considerable number of the
demonstrators, but so far as is known
no fatality occurred in this city. The
police refrained from making arrests
except in cases Of extreme violence.
