Chicago, Nov. Exchanging con
spiracy by which the Illinois Contra
Railroad had been defrauded out o.
81, S25, go, the grand jury here today
indicted four men. They were: Frank
B. Hartman, former general manager
of the Illinois Central, who resigned
March 10. John NJ. Taylor, former
general storekeeper Of the system who
resigned May l.
Charles E. Ewing, former general
superintendent OF the northern lines

made, and by collision, defrauded the
railroad to the amount OF more than
81, 800 900.
The amount named in the indict-
ments, 81. S25, 60 represents the total
business the Illinois Central did with

MORE RIOTOUS CONDUCT.

The suffragetts continued their
riotous conduct in London yesterday
evening. They gathered in White Hal
and smashed number Of windows in
government offices. Sixteen OF their
number were arrested.
The Times argues that Premier
Asquith's promise to give facilities at
the next Parliament for women's
suffrage bill will make this question
an issue OF the coming elections, and
that if the elections confirm the gov
eminent in power the new Parliament
will be considered to have received a
mandate to grant women votes on a
democratic basis.
The Times thinks that neither the
militant suffragists themselves nor the
public perceived the significance OF
Mr.. Asquith's premise, and dilates
on the danger OF tn, situation in the
face of the fact that number of the
women of the country and the great
majority Of male electors resolutely
oppose woman suffrage.
The Times adds that shreWd observers
believe such q change would weaken

PAID FOR sLEMP,s ELECTION.

Affidavits that there has been per-
nicious activity among federal employees
in Richmond in republican party poll
tics, and that employees under civil
service have been assessed 4 proportion
OF their salaries for contributions to the
party campaign funds, have been filed
with the United States Civil Service
Commission in Washington, following
an extended inquiry made in Rich
mond by L. H. Fisher, a special agent
OF the commission, who spent three
days examining witnesses in the
postoffice, customs and internal revenue
departments. Many of 'hrse witnesses
we're examined at Mr.. Fishers rooms
at the Richmond Hotel, in order that
the inquiry might be conducted with
perfect secrecy, and that pressure might
not be brought to suppress facts until q
full statement was in tho hands OF the
government. Mr.. Fisher left for
Washington Wednesday night, filed a
number of sworn affidavits with the
commission yesterday, and will later
submit written report covering condi7
tons in the federal service in Rich!
mond.
The action of the government is be-
lieved to have been precipitated by q
meeting OF the colored employees of the
federal building, held previous to the
congressional election. The colored
men, Notwithstanding the fact that
they are civil service employees, had
been told to come across" for the
campaign fund of State Chairman
Slemp, in the ninth District, and their
wall was loud enough to reach the ears
Of the Civil Service Commission in
Washington. The ahidavits OF uum-
Der of these colored men that they were
practically assessed arbitrarily in pro-
portion to their pay for the republican
party campaign fund, is now in the
hands of the government Rich

The fire started on tho lower floor in
the linen room from q defective furnace

Carnegie Increases Endowment.

New York, Nov. 25.-Three score
years ten and three was the record
hung up today by Andrew Carnegie.
Among the gifts he received at his
palatial Fifth avenue homo was a
silver tray from the students OF the
Pittsburg Technical School Chat he
founded. Among those he distributed
was an increase to the schools endow-
ment of S3,S00,000. The school is
thus ahead about SO, 799, 800.
The first announcement was that
the Laird of Skibo's gift to the school
would be 81 800, 600, but in changing
his clothes yesterday, the little Scot
came across an extra 81 800, 900 and
threw this in with the 81, 500,000
The announcement brought bunch
of rah-rahs from Pittsburg and silver
tray. The new gift will be in the shape
of 5 percent bonds of the United States
Corporation.
Carnegie carries his 73 years none
too easily. He has aged rapidly in
the last few years and is now in rather
feeble condition.

MuTINEERS SURRENDER.
Brazilian Congress Grants Amnesty to
Mutinous Crews of Men-of-war while

Brazilian Congress Grants Amnesty to
Mutinous Crews of Men-of-war while
Guns Of the Vessels were Trained
Upon the City.
Rio De Janeiro, Nov. 25.-After q
vote.of amnesty by the Brazilian Con-
gress and the granting of all their de-
mands, the mutineers aboard tho
Brazilian warships surrendered today.
The demands of the mutincers were
granted and the amnesty voted at an
extraordinary session of Congress to-
| day. The Chamber OF Deputies follow
ed the example of the Senate is agree
ing upon amnesty and both house then
voted to concede the demands of the
mutineers.
| "A representative OF the government,
under flag Of truce, made his way to
the warships and was received by q
committee of the sailors. AS soon as
the action Of Congress was conveyed TO
the mutinous sailors, they laid down
their arms.
Congress took this action rs the
alternative of having the guns Of its
warships continue their fire upon the
city. The guns of the battleships Minas
Ceraes, Sac Paulo, the scout cruiser
Deodora and the scoutship Bahia were
all trained on the city during the time
that Congress was in session.
BY granting amnesty and the de.
mands of the sailors the usefulness OF
the Brazilian navy, the most ambitious
of all those of the South 5Ameican
countries, is believed to be at an end.
Fresh outbreaks may be expected at
any time and upon tho slightest provo
cation the sailors, depending upon their
power over the government, can en-
force their demands. A practical I'M
dermining OF the Brazilian republic
even may be the consequence.
The first outbreak occurred last Tues
day night. Captain Batiste Dali Ncyes,
commanding the modern and newly de-
livered dreadnaught battleship Minas
Geraes, had been dining aboard the
French training ship Duguay Trouin.
When he returned to his ship he found
the crew in mutiny. When he at
TEN: ted TO drive the men back TO their
posts he was killed, with two other
officers. The drednaught Sac Paulo
and the scout cruiser Bahia at once
joined in the muttny, all three OF the
vessels sending their officers ashore.
The command OF the squadron was then
taken by Jean Candida, 4 sailor OF the
first class, who has manouevrcd the
ships with rare skill.
The magazines were burst open and
ammunition dealt out to the various gun
crews. Provisions we're reQuisitioned
and coal seized from the Island Of
Wanna, the depot. Bargcs transport
ing coal to the French steamer AT
lanliquc and the English ship Oronsa

to dynamite the works of the Federal
Steel Construction Company, a part
OF the American Bridge Company,

company were destroyed by strikers,
was contemplated for Chicago, and

KILLED IN FOOTBALL GAME.

. Harry Lee, aged II years, was killed
in Winsted. Conn, yesterday, in 4
football game between the Tierney Ca
diets and an independent team composed
principally OF Gilbert Prepatory School
students. His skull was fractured and
he died 4 few minutes after the acct
dent, and before medical aid could
reach him.
The fatal accident occurred after a
mass play. which both teams had agreed
to use. Lee had been running with
the ball. He was tackled and downed

gotten up. He took. a step, staggered,
and fell to the ground unconscious.

Prospects For Another Eighl.

Boston, Nov. 25.-There still is a
chance that the much discussed battle
between Jack Johnson and Sam Lang
ford for the heavyweight championship
OF the world may take place. The latest
proposal is to hold the fight in London
next June, during coronation week,
when the metropolis will be jammed
with visitors to the browning OF King
George. Joe Woodman, manager for
Langtord, has received cablegram
from Hugh Mcintosh, the Austrian
promoter, in which Mcintosh offers
5000 and expenses as his share of
the fight with Langford. Mcintosh
urges Woodman to use every effort to
get johnson to agree to tho match,
McIntosh's only proviso being that
Johnson shall post a s15, COO guarantee
that he will appear in London at the
time set for the battle.
