to abolish corporal punishment In the fleet.
Following the. ac tion of congress the mu
tineers went through the formality of sur
rendering and befom noon today the
hud resumed Ms normal activities and
public excitement had subsided.
Hi It lh Interests Kndanaered.
It Is doubtful that the mutineers would
have destroyed the city as they threatened
because of the likelihood of complications
with Great Brita.n. During the progress of
tho revolt James Brycc, Ilritlsh ambassador
to the I'nlled States, was the guest of
Baron Klo Hranco, the Brazilian foreign
minister, and ho would have been as likely
as any one to suffer a bombardment.
On the other hand, the mutinous battle-
ship Suo 1'aovlo had on board several Brit- I
lull subjects, who accompanied the vessel
on Its first tilp hi.me after Its coiibtructlon
at Burro w-ln-Furnaas, England.
At the oulureak of trouble, Sir William
H D. Haggard. British minister to Brasll,
notified tne Braxlllan foreign office that
aiiy attempt of the loyal torpedo boats to
destroy the revolting warship would be at
tended with danger to British subjects on
board. It also Is said the government hesi
tated to damage t lie bulwarks of Its navy.
There la no attempt to give a political
color ..lex tb. wttut 70nly petty ar
officers participated with the sailors, but
the mutinous ships constituted a eontrollng
proportion of the fleet.
Mntlncera Controlled lieet.
Itrasll has but two dreadnoughts, the
Mlnss Geraes and the Sao l'aovio, and these
being Joined by the coast defense ships,
Marshall Florta to and Marshall Deodoro
and the scout ship Hahla. the possessors
were In practical control of the fleet and
If necessary to accomplish their ends prob
ably could have made short work of the
smaller craft, consisting of six protected
cruisers, thicu torpedo cruisers and several
vexbe.s of the gunboat class.
The trouble among the sailors has been
biewlng for some time and when the Minas
Gt raes ran up the red flag Tuesday night
the other vessels soon, followed Its ex
ample. Captain Neves of the Mlnas Geraes
and two officers were killed, as were several
of the' seamen who attacked them, as the
officers preferred death to the surrender of
the ship and fought gamely.
Officers of the other mutinous warships
yielded and were put ashore. Throughout
Wednesday and Thursday the dry was at

Last evening the Sao raulo and the
Bahia withdrew from the harbor, sup
posedly because they feared a night attack
from the loyal torpedo boat destroyers.
The Mlnas Genes, however, remained op
posite the government palace and was
Joined by the cruiser Deodora.
l'or aeveral hours everything was quiet.
Then watchers on shore noted activity on
board the 1 woilora and an hour after mid
night the small guns of the Deodora awoke
the town. It was at first thought the re
volting veaaels were making a combined
attack on the city. For a time a panicky
feeling waa general. Then It waa discov
ered that the firing was directed only at
the naval arsenal. The cannonading did
sot last long and no great damage was
dona.
The local garrisons and the loyal torpedo
boats did not respond, although, accord
ing to this morning s papers, their officers
bad received sinister orders as to their
duty la certain contingencies.
Aa soon ae the action of eongreaa became
known the mutinous crews surrendered and
the revolt was at an end. The city waa
sooa quiet and resumed Its normal activi

End of Party Rule

that Lines Are Practically
Eliminated. ' .
WASHINGTON. Nov. James J. Hill
talked with President Taft today. He re
cently nas oeen reponea as gioomy over
the business prospect, but would not dis-
cuss the subject today. He did have some-
thing to say. however, on politics.
"The last election has taught the poll-
ticlans and the country something v.lu-
able." said Mr. Hill. "That Is that the
party lines no longer exist to an Important
extent and that men ara thinking, voting
and acting along independent lies. The
demagogue ad the agitato have held sway
so long. It Is really a relief to see the flag
of warning that has been hoisted for their
benefit.
"I do not mean to say, either, that Inde
pendence of political thought Is confined
to business or professional men. It ex
tends to laboring men and all other
classes.
"I am of the opinion that the demagogue
and agitator will go more slowly here
after when ha attacks everyobdy and
everything In eight and merely appeals to
the dlssatlaflctlon of people.
"It la highly probable that In a few
years there will be little In the way of
party lines In the United States."

Barlow Wants CJenernl Increase.
Mr. Bniiuw believed In a hnrliontlcul In
crease In rater. If any were necesssry.
which he was not wlllliu; to concede. He
thought Iron and sleel and coffee and sugar
should help bear the burden that the car
riers propo'rd to place on the public.
Cross-examined by Mr. Ilittterfleld for the
New York Central ilnes Mr. Barlow denied
that he had taken the position that failure
to Increase the rates on coffee and sunr
j was one of the reasonu why the rallrerds
siumM not be permitted to put the pro
posed increased taiins into street,
Mr. Barlow a!d that his position was
that the shippers felt that the Increases
were unjust and unreasonable, that they
wero discriminatory nnd that the shippers
of those 'articles which were affected by
the lncerasce had already paid their pound
of flesh.
. r . MeUMrmndn File.
Ezra E. Williamson, filed a mass ef mem
oranda replete - with figures. Intended to
show the Immense stride, the railroad,
have made In the direction of filling the
pocketbooka of those controlling them. lie
referred particularly to two arm. of tiie
Pennsylvania system, the Pittsburg, Fort
Wayne & Chicago and the Pltbsburg. Cin
cinnati, Chicago & St. Louis.
He cited figures Which, lie said, showed
the excessive earnings of the Fort Waynu
road and said both roads revealed a splen
did condition of credit, (ulte up to the 1
per cent standard fixed by Presidents Mc
Crea of the Pennsylvania and Wlllard of
the Baltimore & Ohio. Mr. Williamson,
like the previous witness, declared em
phatically that the railroads did not noed
any advance In rates.
Perkins' Name Mentioned.
While dlscusHlng the packing house
products rales, Mr. Barlow again brought
the name of George W. Perkins of the J.
P. Morgan company of New York into the
argument.
Mr. Barlow said he understood Mr. ePr
klns agreed with the packers on an ad
vance of only one-half of what had been
proposed.
"Did he purport to represent the rail
roads, the beef shippers or anyone else?"
demanded Frank Lyon, attorney for the
commission.
"I don't know," replied the witness. ' I
am told Mr. Perkins came as a representa
tive of Mr. ATorgan as a peacemaker be
tween the packers and the railroads."
Mr. Barlow said that after year. It might
be reasonably supposed that there would
be some diminution of the price of trans
portation. Mr. Harlaw declared as gji im
pression that he believed the railroad state
ments would show that the percentage ot
cost of conducting transportation to ,th
gross earnings of the railroad. ' which he
said Is the crucial test of all, la constantly
decreasing Instead of Increasing.
"That." Interrupted Commissioner Lane,
"is absolutely contrary to the testimony
before the commission In Chicago."
