CHILESUBDUES
 MUTINEERS AND ALL SURRENDER
Revolt Began 8 Days Ago and Bombing Planes Brought Navy to Its Senses

santiago, Chile, Sept. s.-CUP). .-Mutiny of Chilean sailors aboard the battle fleet had ended to-day as the ships surrendered at Tongoy, a few miles south of Coquimbo, where the revolt started eight days ago. An aerial bombardment preceded the surrender.
 Y An official bulletin issued by Gen. yergara said the crew of the bat tleship La Torre, pride of the Chilean navy reconditioned recent Iy in England at cost of $7,000,- 900. had been ordered changed. It was understood that crews would be substituted on other ships.
 An official bulletin said that the submarine Thompson, which had been unaccounted for, came to the surface after being submerged for nine hours and radioed uncon- ditional surrender. The Thompson was instructed to proceed to Val paraiso.
 The mutiny was broken by a merciless attack on naval barracks at Talcahuano and an aerial bonn bardment of the fleet off Coquimbo. Air squadrons raked their decks with machine gun fire and dropped bombs. The rout of the mutineers was complete when their antl-air- craft guns proved ineffective. Many sailors jumped overheard ana swan ashore, to surrender.
 It was reported authoritatively that two civilian communists, Ro1as and Gonzalez, who went aboard the Almirante La Torre to encourage the sailors in their rnutiny. were thrown overheard by the enraged mutiners and forced to swim for their lives.
 According to the official bulletin. the main part of the fleet was on Lengua vaca, south of Coquimbo, when 1t received the governments instructions to proceed to Tongoy. The ships were scheduled to pro- ceed later to Valparaiso. The de- stroyers Hyat, Requelme, Aldea, oreila and Serrano had already surrendered at Tongoy and the General O'Higgins, which had ex- hausted its coal supply, put in at Coquimbo and raised a white flag.
 Crews were ordered to disembark and take orders from military au- thorities. The government expect ed to concentrate the fleet at val paraiso immediately.
 The end of the mutiny was re- ceived with enthusiasm in Santiago. Reservist battalions, formed by re- cruits during the past week. march ed through the streets and were given an ovation. A crowd collect ed at the Moneda Palace. residence of the president, and cheered the government and the people.

WATT HELD UNDER BONDS
Court Demands $500 In Continuing
 Case For a Day
Appears Before Bench This Morning in Disheveled Condition After Battling Two Officers in Terrific StruggIe-I1as Long Police Record

Nothing less than cash bond of $500 was demanded in police court this mornring in the case of Allan Watt, 30, of Marion, who was arrested early to-day after a long chase and a vicious fight and charged with operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of liquor. He is also accused of operating while his license was suspended. It is the third time within 8 year in which Watt has figured in automobile chases and fights with the police.
 Watt, former resident of this city, was fined $200 and costs and sentenced to jail for sixty days on January II, 1881 after he had "borrowed" machine. wrecked It and stole two others within an hours time. His record shows similar escapades.
 Patrolman Edward Hayes and Supernumerary Policeman Harold Bowling attempted to stop Watt as he passed the intersection of North Main and East Farm streets early this morning. He refused to obey their signals. Communicating a car driven by Henry Gutzman of Ward street the two officers gave pursuit and followed the machine to Lakewood, to Spindle Hill in the town of Wolcott, where they succeeded in forcing the machine to a standstill. In the fight which started Watt wrestled Officer Dow ling's nightstick out of his hand and proceeded to attack the two policemen. Blows that would have fell the ordinary man had little eff feet on Watt. He was beaten about the head and had his clothes torn from his body, but he fought vici- ously before being subdued. And as for the cops their uniforms were more than slightly worse for the wear and tear of their battle with the prisoner. Watt not only has the habit of taking automobiles when he has been drinking, but he hates cons Tn one of his previous en-

Police Probe f Two Breaks
No Valuables Reported
 Missing After Checkup

Members of the detective bureau investigated to-day a complaint that the office and warehouse of the c. D. Stone Feed & Coal com pany at 1843 Watertown avenue was burglarized during the night. A check-up on the place indicated that some youngsters had gained entrance and took a peculiar de- light in throwing merchandise around. Nothing of value is believ- ed to have been taken.
 The home of Dr Joseph Me- Grath at 1O9 Waterville street was entered sometime yesterday in the absence of members of the family. While it was plainly evident that the house had been thoroughly ransacked, it is not believed that the visitors obtained anything of consequence. A skeleton key was apparently used.

Part way through the process of enactment and
assured of final passage the Westminster Statute
is important in British constitutional history, al
though it merely confirms existing fact Successive
concessions to British Dominions through the de-
cades have given to them complete control of their
affairs at first purely domestic affairs then foreign
relations and every manner of governmental author
ity
But, despite these grants of power which made
the dominons truly lf-gOverning the Parliament
at London still retained the legal authority to act
for the entire British Empire. At the last Com
monwealth Conference, it was determined that the
Dominions should be wholly independent in legal
theory as well as in fact. This step the West
minister Statute completes with finality.
For political scientists the new statute poses
fresh questions of theory Where, now, is the
of ultimate political power? Is the British Com
monweath of Nations confederation of sovereign
States and is the King symbol of the real
racial bond? Or do we have divided sovereignty
which still composes legal unity?
However fascinating these questions may be for
the political theorists, they little to the
political realist The British Dominions have been
in fact independent for years, of them
for many decades. The Statute of Westminster
simply acknowledges in formal law the existing
fact Realists at heart, despite their heritage OF
racial sentiment, the British do excellent jot
iof keeping their unwritten Or rather uncolected
constitution in close accord with the facts of his
toric revolution.

THE PRICE FOR OUR HIGH TARIFF.

The Boston News Bureau scents heglra Oh
American manufacturers to Great Britain and Can
ada as result of the British tariff. Already
the Great Western Railway Of Great Britain is
sending out literature to American manufacturers
setting forth the advantages of sites for plants along
its lines and the superior services the railway can
render American concerns that have branches in
Canada are looking forward toward increased busl-
ness for the firms within the British Empire
This is part of the price Americans must pay
for their extreme high tariff policy. This move
ment of American factories to Canada and Eng
land like those that have been set up in Germany
will help to solve unemployment in other countries
and provide taxation capital for other peoples. We
declared the tariff war and at last retaliation is
at hand
If we had kept the Underwood Tariff our exports
would probably have been larger than they are
and we would have avoided the exodus of Ameri-
can capital and commerce.

clear and concise terms, the an
nouncement said.
1t is clearly evident from the
nature of the papers submitted in
the contest that this form of COM
petition affords valuable training to
students, tending to create greater
interest in the value and beauty of
one of AlaSka's most treasured re-
sources, the forests, as well as to
stimulate efforts in English COM
position.
The Board of Judges wish to
announce that in the future any
contestant who desires to make
sketches or drawings to illustrate
the essay submitted may do so, and
such sketches will be considered in
connection with and as part of
such essay and will be graded ac-
cordingly. This should be of addi-
tional interest to the students and
may result in the development of
latent ability in many of the con-
testants.
1t is hoped that greater num-
Der of students will enter the
American Forestry Association Me-
dial Contest for this year, which has
previously been announced, and
which will close with the school
year 1882.

The British Communist Party announces that its
membership is increasing by leaps and bounds"
The statement may alarm many good Conservatives.
But there are reassuring considerations. 1t would
have been miracle if the Communists had not
who having their income cut being
deprived of it. But it is significant that the I'M
employed did not vote Communist at the election;
a great many of them did not vote Labor.
There is sign-as yet-of a swing towards Com
munism or of spontaneous organization among the
unemployed. The persistent weakness of Communist
parties everywhere outside of Russia has always
been that the membership is extremely fluid Under
some exceptional stimulus it may double or treble
in size in a few months, and quickly melt
away, for apparent reason.
