go women registered yesterday and
qualified as legal voters under the new
Illinois suffrage law. Their first op-
portunity to exercise their franchise
will be on Feb. "a. at the aldermanic
primaries.
Women suffrage leaders were elated.
They estimated that fully one third Of
the eligible women voters Of the city
had registered. Their figures showed
that approximately 100000 women In
Chicago are eligible to vote. This num-
Der equals the total registration OF
men,.
Approximately $4,000 men and wom-
en- are now qualified to vote at the next
city election. according to estimates
made by election officials. This Is near
ly $4,000 less than the total number OF
registered voters In New York City.
Predictions were made by women lead
ers, however. that 100000 additional
women would qualify on the next reg
'istration day. March II.
The total number of men who reg
istered yesterday was s5.161. Adding
yesterdays registration to the former
male registration Of 437.s46. Chicago's
unrevised registration is now 676,4o4.

OMicials estimate that about $4,000
names Of men voters will be dropped
from the registry Saturday when the
list Is revised. This estimate Is based
on the theory that about 20 per cent
of the men voters have become dis
qualified by moving since the last reg

REVOLUTION. IN PERU
Rebels Capture President siliinshurst
and Exile Hin-Minister Of War
Killed During Attack on Palace.

= Lima Peru. Feb. 4.-The president of
the republic Of Peru. Guiliermo Bill
linghurst, was taken prisoner today by
military revolutionists.
The rebels suddenly attacked the
presidential palace this morning under
tho leadership of Colonel Benavides.
General Enrique varela, premier and
minister Of war, was killed in the fight
which ensued.
Dr. Augusta Durand, a former revo-
lutionary leader. whose arrest was
sought by the police yesterday. took
possession Of the palace. 1t is believed
he will organize a new government.
President Billinghurst was later talk
en- by the rebels as prisoner to CAL
lao. from which port he will be sent
into exile in a foreign country.
The attack on the palace began at
4:3o in the morning. Thousands Of the
Inhabitants Of Lima ran into the
streets, alarmed by the firing. Squads
of soldiers were ordered to fire volleys
into the air to prevent formation OF
crowds In the streets.

a civilian bystander was killed by
bullets.
Great alarm prevails thruout the
city. Banks and stores are closed and
private houses barricaded. Street cars.
however, began running before noon.
Peru's sudden revolutionary trouble
is due principally to Billingshurst' 3
earnest efforts to place the finances OF
his country on sound basis. His
scheme for doing this involves the
strictest economies thru the public
service and naturally proved unpopu-
lar, particularly among ofhceholders.
who saw their salaries and estimates
pruned with merciless hand.

fused to vote the budget and President
Billinghoust issued q decree declaring
the old estimates would remain in
force until the end Of 1914.

were presented to the president asking
for the dissolution Of congress. but all
Of the political parties opposed this
step.

an Englishman but was born In Peru.
His mother was q Peruvian. He is
about IS years OF age. In 1868 his faith.
