Hio De Janeiro, Dec. 10. -The, battle
i . el we mi the mutinous artillerists and
Cannes, . entrenched on the. island of
! ;iscobraB, lying .. in,1 the , bay a short
stance from the city, la. still on. ,It is
i-i-Lleyed the rebel losses have been very
! i avy and that the mutineers will- be
c ompletely annihilated, unless they suit
render to the UoyaJ '; troops v. within ; a
.-liort time. . -V V'' ;-y-''';
The mutiny - started Jast night, the
3 n u t ineers . bein g aided ' by the crew o
the scout cruiser, Bio Grande do SuL
which took part lit ' the - naval , revolt'
.. .
nisi monui.- mere was e i wm. oaw
roent in the City for short time., but
the government official! determined to
i ut down the mutiny with seventy.
At 6 .o'elock this morning all. the
loyal Warships and land batteries con
eentrated their guns on the forts on
Dafscobraa and opened fire. The rebels
replied, though they did not serve their
puna sufficiently well to do great dam
age. From 5 o'clock: until 11 in the
f urt.noon the loyal warships . and bar
racks " bombarded the forts. Officers
oeclare the sheila made frightful havoc
At 11 oclock the mutineers hoisted
white flag and demanded, an armistice
in which they might bury their dead
and remove their wounded out of the
xone of fire. The government granted
the respite and took occasion to notify
the rebels that unless they surrendered
their redoubts would be taken by storm
and the leaders severely punished.
; Bloody X.and Fight Coming.
From 11 o'clock until 3:30 this after
noon the mutineers were engaged in
burying their dead and the officers of
the loyal forces who watched the work
through ' their field glasses, reported
tonight that the casualty list among
the mutineers wmild be frightful. Late
tonight s the bombardment was contin
ued. Boats are being made' ready and
landing parties will attempt to, reach
the island under cover of darkness and
take the works at the point Of the
bayonet. ' -
The land, fight will be , still more
bloody than the naval battle, according
to the belief of those who have watched
the fight thus far. In addition to the
artillerymen, there Is a battalion f
marines on the island and they are all
trained fighters who have Been service
and who are sure to resist stoutly when
the loyal troops land en the Island. '
People Killed in Streets of Bio.
Although little damage was dons 'to
the loyal warships by the fire of the
mutineers, many of their shrapnel fell
into the streets of Rio along the water
front and a number of civilians were
killed. Thn hnsnitjila ara rmmAaA n-
night with the wounded.
The detonation of big guns shook the
city and thousands of' men, women and
children fled, remembering' the narval
revolt of last month and believing that
the warships would join this revolt as
they did before. '
President Fonseca, who was marshal
ef the Brizilian army before bis elec
tion, has assumed personal command of
the situation. ' .
Despite the spirit that has made Itself
manifest in both the army and navy
in these two mutinies, the people of
Hio believe tonight that, the government
will ..be able to hold the army and
navy in check and prevent the outbreak
from assuming a political significance.
Congress is in session and it is be
lieved that if the land attack on the
island tomorrow is not successful a
state of siege will he declared and the
army rushed into Rio to begin the at

New York, Pec. 10. The Report that
George W; Perkins is to take the place
of Grover Cleveland as chairman of the
board of trustees ef the Equitable Life
Insurance company led to many rumors
in Wall street today of a possible con
nection by Mr. Perkins with that In
stitution, following his retirement from
the firm of J., P, Morgan1 & Co. .
Mr. Perkins, however, has no inten
tion of reentering the insurance field
actively; This was learned from a re
liable source. If be becomes chairman
of the Editable it win be solely m an
advisory capacity, as Mr. Cleveland
was. 'v';.v ;--.; .. A.vfc:-V::,,.;4w,,.' :: j.:
It was stated Ml, perkina has ether
plans that, will occupy his attention.
They are ta the industrial corporation
field,' which he has long " regarded as
the sphere of greatest activity In this
country for many years to come. ' For
a long time past it has been known that
Mr. Perkins . has v been . giving more
thought to these probabilities and
problems of our Industrial corporations
and the announcement that he is here
after to devote himwslf to that work is
therefore no surprise to those associated
with him. 1 ' j

went to the Howard hotel at Sixth and
Howard streets and arrested the seventh
member of the party,,-
While all this was' going on one 'of
Moffitt's experts located Smith on Mar
ket street He was crossing Fifth Street
at Market Four detectives closed in
upon him and handcuffed him. He was
hurried to secret service headquarters.
At 10 o'clock the entire party was
secreted n the postofflcft building. Teler
graph wires were kept .warm with mes
sages asking chiefs of police in many
cities east and, west to apprehend other
members of the gang. "
Late tonight It was. announced that
another of the ringleaders probably
would be in the tolls before daylight
In the outer room of the Secret ser
vice headquarters, Mr. Smith was kept
alone, where she underwent, the "sweat
ing", process, at the hands -of five ex
perienced detectives. : .
In one corner of the middle room at
secret service headquarters the boxes of
treasure and the trunks of Smith and
his wife-were piled.; A' heap, of letters
from :. Smith's apartments were, placed
on the top of a trunk. The contents, of
these, according to the detectives,, are
said to reveal the methods by , which
ths gang worked. ; .
9170,000 la Oold on Humboldt ' "
With $170,00 in1 gold bars In her
treasure vaults, the Alaskan steamer
Humboldf Captain Baughman, left the
Tanana gold district on September 8
of this year, bound for Seattle. ,The
treasure was consigned to the Dexter
Hortoa National bank of Seattle by the
Washington-Alaska bank of Fairbanks,
the leading town in the mining district
The bars came out in charge of the
Alaska-Pacific Express company and
the i latter concern was to deliver the
shipment, to the United States assay
office In Seattle. , M. G. Hull, superin
tendent of the express company, ac
companied the shipment' from Skag
way, .
Method of Theft tn ouM.
Mystery surrounds the exactV manner
in which the theft was accomplished.
The assay officials at Seattle did not
discover the substitution of pig lead
for the gold until after the consign
ment had reached its vaults. ,
The robbery may have taken place
aboard one of the river steamers plying
on the Tanana river or on the -Yukon
river or while the gold was in transit
on, one of the White Pass & .Tukon
trains. ; Thres river boats, one ocean
liner and a railroad and two transfer
companies had to do with the transpor
tation of the gold.
The boxes were opened by the Cana
dian .customs' officers at Dawson and
the number of gold bars were found to
agree with the statements contained in
the express companies' way bills. The
boxes were cpened again at the govern
ment assay office In Seattle on Se
teraber 10 and one was found to oontaln
pigs of lead, not gold.! ; : ' ' '
usual Precautions Taken. '
, There would have, been small oppor
tunity for robberr in the assay office.
The gold weIghed2B0 pounds and the
disposal Of such heavy plunder required
time and , preparation. , The gold was
kept in the purser's , cabin, y I trans
porting gold shipments' elaborate pre-
cautions are taken against robbery.
information that the gold bullion was
in this city reached the secret service
authorities about a month ago. At the
same time a private detective agency
received orders from the Alaska-Pacific
Express company to look for the men
in this city. " . ,
It la believed that - the first - tip as
to ine wnereaootru or the treasure was
received when the secret service opera
tives and the private detectives found
that ' several men had been selling
Tanana gold to ' local gold buyers.
Shadow men were detailed to watch
these mon when they came with their
treasure to the buyers and in this way,
it is stated, Smith's whereabouts were
ascertained. '

(United Prrw LenseS Wfrt.)
Boston, Dec. 10.That George Glover.
son of Mary -Baker G. Eddy, late head
of . the Christian Science church, may
contest the will of his mother on the
grounds that . she was incompetent to
make such an - instrument was the
statement tonight of Attorney : Fred
erick W. Peabedy, who figured promi
nently in the "next friends'', suit which
resulted in the settlement by " Mra
Eddy, of 1350,000 on her son. - ;,
The statement was the result of a
conference Glover held late today with
Peabody in which the attorney advised
that he fight for his mother's 11,600,
000 estate, 'the bulk of which, It Is
known, has , been bequeathed to i the
Christian Science church. At the con
ference also were Dr. E. ' Poster.Eddy,
Mrs. Eddy's adopted son, from Ver

It was held at the Adams house where
Glover went after leaving the Long
year estate in Brookline where he was
entertained from the time of his moth
er's funeral. y.t k '-i -,
Peabody stated that the , Glovers
would not return to Lead. S, D., until
Mrs. Eddya will lav probated and he
has settled on a course of action. s
Peabody said he had advised Glover
to make ' a i petition to the Middlesex
county court for letters of administra
tion on Mrs.: Eddy's estate because of
the fact that Mr Eddy's son has no
positive knowledge that a will has been
made and has been unable' to secure a
copy of such will, if it exists. Peabody
also held that , the deed -of settlement
is so involved as to be contrary to pub
llo policy and that the will is invalid
because of Mrs. Eddy's 5 Incompetency
to make .a will. '- .
Alleges aift XnTalid. v
Moreover, Peabody advfsed thai the
gift made, by Mrs. Eddy to the Christ
ian Science, church is of , itself invalid,
inasmuch as the supreme court of Penn
sylvania has already ' adjudicated that
the teachings of Christian Science are
contrary to public policy.
' "Mr. Glover Is giving this whole mat
ter very serious consideration," ald
Peabody. "All that, I can say ' at the
present time ,1s that he is fully alive
to1 the Situation. Personally I believe
that he will take such legal action as
will fully safeguard and preserve his
interests, in' the ; enormous - fortune
which his mother accumulated
"He will remaia on the scene until
his motiier'ri will is offered for , pro
bate, so that he may Inform himself of
its exacV contents. " E. Foster-Eddy,
Mrs. Eddy adopted son, Is acting with
George W. Glover, and they are In
perfect harmony. I shall not be sur
prised to see litigation started that
will settle all these many perplexing
questions." . .
Charges Church Zncompetept.
' Besides laying stress on the Penn
sylvania decision, In urging Glover and
Dr. Poster-Eddy to fight peabody held
that ..the'-: Christian Science church no
longer is competent, since, through the
peculiar nature of its bylaw, the death
of its leader leaves the directors nandl
capped. .s -:. ',' .-. '. ,
The point of view, .f the Christian
Scientists on this mattr, however, was
set out in an official statement tlmt
declared the directors ,.to have ample
authority under the church manual.
No final decision as to the perma
nent resting place of Mrs, Eddy will be
reached until Glover and Dr. Foater
Eddy have further conferred with the
Christian Science officials and have
seen the' plot in Mount Auburn picked
out by the Christian Science official

New York, Deo. 10. For the first
time in the history of music, an opera
founded on an American play, Inspired
by an American subject and created by
a modern Composer of world-wide re

The play to which it owed its inspira
tion was by David Belasco. And the
American autnor himself iheiped to put
the opera or, as it might more fit
tingly be called, the music drama on
the boards. One earlier, work, "1 Puri

unnatural way with an American story
It may ' be added that the scenes in
Verdi's opera, ''Uri Bailo in Maschere,"
were supposed to be laid in America,
though the whole treatment of the ac
tlon, like the characters and music,
was distinctly Italian. - ,
' Opera Decidedly American.
But in this "Girl of the ' Golden
West," we saw and heard a work which
to a very large extent, gave us the
Illusion of sincerity. The characters
who sang and moved upon the stage
were not thinly dlsgulBed Neapolitans or
improbable' Florentines wiih Ameri
can names. The principals, at least
and. many of. the minor figures who
took part ' in the "performance seemed
American and the ' Invention - of the
muslo drama was In itself a compll
ment to America., -
Time only can : decide whether - the
"Girl of the Golden West" will prove
a fleeting - triumph or live, like the
great operas of the masters. Indefinite

"This pest destroys from to 100

New York, Den. 10. Every member
of the Italian detective snuad is on
duty tonight in the Italian district
while every plain clothes man available
la working In that section of tho city.
working almost against hope to. prevent
the murder of four Italian children
known to be held by the Black Hands
for ransom, - '
The fear that the kidnapers, fright
ened by the police activities that have
resulted in a dozen arrests and the re
covery of three stolen children, will
murder the other kidnaped children. Is
everywhere manifest . '
At police headquarters Deputy. Com
missioner Flynn, who knows the Sicilian
character from years' of work in the
United States secret service, is direct
ing the work of the Italians!
There' is . unparalleled excitement in
Jtalian quarters. The rookeries that
seethe with, the population Of Little It
aly are housing all their lnmatet. Few
Italians or- Sicilians venture upon the
streets. They fear reprisals from the
Black Hand, and with their suspicious
nature they, fear the police.'
' By definitely locating the house . in
Which Michael RizsO, a seven-year lad,
was kept a prisoner, Commissioner
Flynn's Italian detectives have secured
clews which will nrobablv lead to other
important arrests shortly- The lad led"
the police to a house, 333 East Twenty
third ' street and showed them where
he Had been held prisoner. ' The house
cdjolns the one in which Gutseppe Long,
stolen at the same time, was held cap
tive and from which he was rescued
by the police,-, ;
With tho return of Mary Poltlllo, one
of the seven kidnaped Italian dilldrea
late this afternoon, the police believe
the kidnapers in their fear may kill
the other children to seal their ;lips.

SEE'EMSAYSCHIEF
In. reply to .the statements made yes
terday by the Municipal association that
Immoral conditions exist in Portland,
Chief of Police Cox stated last evening
that he would ask the December grand
Jury to investigate as to whether or not
there were any grafters in the police
department This grand Jury-will con
ven'e this week, possibly not later than
Wednesday, and it is expected that both
sides of : the controversy will be aired
before the Jurors. ;'; - -? r ,.'--', .
, . "If there is any grafting in the- de
partment I want to know it" is what
Qhief Cox told the last grand Jury,
ile still clings, to this statement, but
has little to say about the immoral con
ditions cited by the Municipal -association.!';
:,V':tfi,'nj-':-.,',t:A,:-i'-'-:-;;':-- -S:A '.."(i'si?'' '.
k "Tnere may be petty tips, of small
amounts taken by some men. in a good
fellowship way, but I don't believe there
is an organized system of grafting,"
said the chief last evening. ' "I don't
want any petty tips or good fellowship
business, he - continued. "Conditions
may have been worse than I expected
a few weeks ago, but I have recently
investigated the places cited by the as
sociation. The report is made to me
that no women are la them and no Vio
lation Of the liquor law is allowed.
'"There are minor Infractions of the
law, but the department , has not the
funds With which to put special men on
this work. I have used my own money
in attempting , to arrest proprietors of
places suspected of breaking, the law
and, allowing immoral conditions."
.' Frank Minto, proprietor of a lodgtng
house at 24SH Flanders street, took the
woman known as "Frankle" to Chief
Cox last evening and she denied asking
the two representatives of the "Munic
ipal association to come to 91H Sixth
street on Sunday and she would sell
them beer and whiskey. She also de
nied Jthat the men came to the place
ana Dougnt the liquor, as they state.
She did not deny being in the Flanders
street lodging house, however.
Despite the denial of Chief Cox that
graiung exists, tne conditions are
snown to. exist that casts suspicion on
certain members of : the police depart
ment .-:'.
It is' a well known fact that extreme
laxity exists in certain lodging houses,
and other objectionable, nlacea. it la
said that whenever efforts are made to
ascertain the condition of affairs, ner-
sons are sent from the police statloa
to notify, proprietors Of such 'places
that they had better lay low. Another
common understanding among women
conducting disorderly, houses, men en
gaged In the lodging house ' business
and cafe proprietors is that more len
iency is tolerated during the time upon
which Captain George Bailey is in
charge. This time is from 4 o'clock in
the afternoon until 11 o'clock at night

' Te!!s of Information Gath
ered by Commission.
! A worklngmen's compc.nsatlon 'system,
based upon Germany's 25 years of ex
perience with this problem, la' advo
cated by Johh Klrby Jr., president, of
the National Association of Manufac
turers, and the organization of .which
he .is the head. Mr. "Kirby, who arrived
in the city yesterday to be a guest of
honor at a banquet to be given, by the
Employers' association ..Monday," last
evening discussed the question and some
of the many benefits he believes would
be derived bythe adoption; of the same
system In "this country. , ' , ' v .
The Manufacturers' association has
obtained detailed information , concern
ing this question br sending a commis
sion abroad to make an intimate study
of the' matter. ..The commission , was
composed of F. C. Schwetman of St.
Louis, Mo.,-an engineer with a repuU
tion, and James A. Emery, an attorney
formerly of San Francisco and now
bf Washington, D. C, who 18 rated as
an authority on employers' liability. ,
Backed by credentials of an Ameri-,
can Manufacturers' association, com-
posed of,' more than 8400 of .the most
prominent firms In the country, the
commissioners were hospitably received,
by the German government officials and ,
the capitalists and every facility given
them. In gathering their informations
They brought back with them data on'
ewry phase of the question and charts -which
clearly indicate points which can
not " be nearly so well . explained in
woraa. .-..:,;..-.v- .'-:: .-
Manufacturers Pay arost.
In Germany the manufacturers con- '
tribute 70 per , cent to funds for the
purpose, of giving . compensation to
workers who are injured. The working
man gives 17 per cent" and the govern
ment , the remainder. The, manufactur-
era are formed into associations of their
individual cfafts, in order to properly
regalate' the expenditures of this na-- -tvire.
The government controls and
pays -the funds to those injured.
All details of the. subject are reduced .
to an exact science, If a worklngman
I injured or crippled in any manner ,
he Receives a certain compensation, and
the various awards to families are also
regulated in case of loss of Ufa ' : i
The members of the manufacturers' 1
commission, appeared before the com
mission 'appointed In Ohio for the pur-- '
rpose of Investigating the Stibject of
employers' liability and talked to them n
for five hours." said Mr. Klrby. "Aft
erward the commission decided to de
fer action, a thing Jt had previously . '
declared impossible. Since then com- '
missions , of various , other states have
asked for the informations obtained by '
Mr, Schwetman and Mr. Emery. It is
the ; intention of the manufacturers to
compile all of this data in book form
and a volume of 320 pages or more win
be Issued for the information of all of
thoe interested in the subject ; r. s
. "The advantages of .this report will
be Immeasurable. It will be similar to
the situation when a company takes
over anotherwhich has been thoroughly,
established, giving It 'the adrantage. of'
prestige and stability., We gain the ad
vantage of 25 years of study and ex
periment on the part of German author
ities. Enthusiasm It Intense.
"Our commissioners, while In Ger
many, attended a .banquet celebrating
the twenty-fifth anniversary of the ei
tablishment of -the compensation sys-
tem there. at,which 1300 of the most
prominent manufacturers were present.
Thchy declare they, bad never before
seen such enthusiasm over any system
as was displayed there.",
Mr, Kili-by, declared that one possible
obstacle to the embodiment of the sys
tem into laws in the United States was
in the constitution, It Is a question
whether compulsory : contribution fo a
compensatioir fund could be enacted Into
a law.' However, he believes, that this
matter can be surmounted and 'i the
question Is now being studied by attor
neys of the association.1 -
Mr. Kirby and General Harrison Gray
Otis of, Los Angeles will address the
Employees' -association Monday. Mr,
Kirby., n the day following will go to
Seattle and, then Visit San Francisco
and Los Angeles before returning to
his home in pay ton, Ohio. .
