WASHINGTON, March 3L—An official of the State Department just retrned from Brazil has furnished some Interest- ing detalls in regard to the recent at- tempt of a clique of Brazilian army offi- cers to incite a revolution and establish a monarchial government there. The plan of action, the official says, was to create a military riot In front of the President’s palace, during which Campos Salles was to be assassinated, an officer | of the revolutionary band declared ruler | and Brazil proclaimed a monarchy. It seems, however, that owing to Informa- tion furnished by an army officer fully cognizant of the brewing conspiracy, the President was at all times Aware of the lans and progress of tne revolutionists. B0 prominent generals in the Brazilian army were involved in the plot,.but, ex« cept for their small following, the army stood firm for the President, and the project came to naught but punishment for the offenders. CHIEF JOSEPH'S APPEAL. Nez Perces Sachem Wants to Remove His Tribe to Oregon. WASHINGTON, March 31.—Chief Joseph of the Nez Perces Indians, located on the Colville reservation, Washington, has filed with the Commissioner of Indian Affairs a ition to remove his band to Oregon. ief Joseph says that he desires to be Chi “located in the Wallowa Valley, at the con- | fluence of the Grand Ronde and Snake | rive near Seven Devils Mountains. He says that he had talked with the people of that region, who think it might be pos- sible to have his tribe settle there. The Commissioner of Indian Affairs to-day said that if the Wallowa district was not too thickly settled it might be practicable to grant Chief Joseph's request, but he feared that conditions would not permit this action. - Will Repressnt Woodland.

CHICAG(S UNIVERSITY FIVE MILLIONS RICHER John D. Rockefeller Duplicates Large Contributions Obtained by Its Officials. CHICAGO, March 31.—The Untversity of Chicago is richer to-night by nearly | $5,000,000 than it has ever been before. John D. Rockefeller has confirmed his gift of $2,000,000 to the university and President Secretary Goodspeed and the trustees supplemented it with the an- nouncement of gifts in cash and lands re- celved aggregating in value more than $2,000,000. It was a condition of Rockefeller's gift— the latest of a series aggregating more than $7,000,000—that before the university recetved the same it duplicate the amount with gifts secured through the efforts of its officers and friends. This duplication (equivalent to securing for the university at least four millions) was to have been completed by January 1, 190: but at that time the university, on its own behalf, was far short of the $2,000,- 000. Rockefeller extended the time for raising the needed sum three months, or to April 1. More than $2,000,000 in good land, cash and secured pledges was in the possession of President Harper and the university officers to-day, and the exact character of the prize was wired to Rockefeller. He instantly replied that gift of 32,000,000 ured. Regarding his plans, r sald: ve will build—build many new structures just as soon as work can start. Every pledge we have received is good, e pledges and gifts have been low. Land we have ac- cepted only at its actual cash value.” Talking of some of the contributors to the $2000,000 fund, Dr. Goodspeed of the university said: ““We have been careful not to mention names because of the requests not to do so. The trustees know, though, the name of every giver. T can say that Marshall Field's contribution was $135,000, and that Mrgmnlalne gave $27,000 and Mrs. Foster The total endowment of the college Is now $11,000,000. —_— Cotton Now a Rear Admiral.

In whist a “slam™ is winning every trick in a round.

On January 6, 1842, the British army left Cabul, Afghanistan, to return to India by way of the Khyber Pass, relving on the promises of Akbar Kahn and his confed- erates of an escort for safe journey. None such was furnished. The severity of the season increased the misery of the retreat. The fanatical tribes of the district ha- rassed the flank and rear of the army and slew women and children as well as men. Out of a host of 16,000, or if men and women are included, an excess of 20 only one man, Dr. Brydon, escaped to con » the dismal tidings to General 3tie, who still held his position at Jelabad, FRANCHISE LAW—J.
