gress and granting of all of their de-
mands the mutineers aboard the Bra
lillian war ships surrendered today
The demands of the mutineers were
granted and the amnesty voted at an
extraordinary session of congress.
The chamber OF deputies followed
the example of the senate in agreeing
upon amnesty and both houses then
voted to concede the demands of the
r.utineers. A representative of the
government under flag of truce made
his way to the warships and was re
ceived by committee of sailors and
as soon as the action of congress was
conveyed to the mutineers they laid
down their arms.
Congress took this action as an al
ternative of having the guns of their
own warships continuing their war on
the city.
The guns of the battleships Minas
Gereas, Sac Paulo, The Scout and the
cruiser Deodora and the scout Bahia
were all trained on the city during the
time that congress was in session
Last evening the Sac PAUL and the
Bahia withdrew from the harbor, sup
posedly because they feared a night
attack from the loyal torpedo boat de-
stroyers. The Minas Geraes, however
remained opposite the palace and was
Joined by the cruiser Deodora For
several hours everything was quiet
then the watchers on shore noted ac
tivity on board of the Deodora and
an hour after midnight the small guns
of the Deodora awoke the town 1t
was at first supposed that the revolt
ing vessels were making combined
attack on the city. For time pan
fcky feelings were general Then 1t
was discovered that the firing was
directed only at the Naval Arsenal
The cannonading did not last long and
no great damage was done. The local
garrisons and the loyal torpedo boats
did not respond, although, according TO
this mornings paper their officers had
received sinister orders as to their
duty in certain contengencies When
the Deodora had ceased firing she
pulled out to sea accompanied by the
Minas Geraes.

crafts still outside the harbor and
they did not return to port until some

DENVER, Nov. 25.--Last week Gov
ernor Shafroth allowed the railroad
bill to become law without executive
approval or rejection.
The new law does away with the
present railroad commissioners and
creates another commission to be ap-
pointed by the governor. 1t takes
away from the commission all rate
making powers and gives it authority
only over dead freight in transit
1t is questioned whether the com.
mission has any authority over the
shipment of either livestock or perish
able goods. Shippers claim that re-
batting can be accomplished under it's
provisions and where prosecutions are
made. penalties cannot be enforced for
each violation proven but one penalty
must cover all violations from the
time of the last prosecution. In 9th
er words, should man be convicted
on one hundred counts, he could be
given the penalty for one count Gov.
ernor Shafroth states that the law is
bad and that he allowed it TO go into
effect simply on the ground that dis
trict court had declared the preceding
law unconstitutional
The decision of the district court had
not been carried TO the supreme court
