LONDON, Dec. 16.-A further examination
of London bridge has revealed an irregular
crack several inches long IN block of granite
at the lower part of the buttress. at the place
where the upheaval of the water occurred
The crack will not, however, affect the solidity
of the structure. A boatman at Green Hithe
on the Thames, says that about dusk on Sat-
urday he lent boat to two men, one of whom
was carrying greenish-looking parcel; that
they drifted down the river under the South
wark bridge, and that neither the boat nor

CHICAGo's BOGUS BALLoTs.g
w. j. Gallagher Charged With Writing
the Fraudulent Tally Sheet.

CHICAGO, Dec. 16.-Another arrest in the
noted election fraud series was made to- night.
The person arrested was W. J. Gallagher.
The complaint was made before the United
States Commissioner this evening, and charges
Gallagher with making q forged tally sheet
for the Second precinct OF the Eighteenth
ward, by which Rudolph Brand, DEM, was
made to appear to have a majority of 10 votes
IN the Sixth Legislative district over Henry
w. Leman, the Republican, for State
senator. The charge was preferred by Mel
vile e. Stone, editor of the Daily Neaos. Il
appears that Photographic copies OF all the
forged tally sheets, of Gallagher's
handwriting and that of several other per-
sons under suspicion, were submitted to ex-
perts, who pronounced the writing in the bo-
gus sheets the same as Gallagher's. The
prisoner, it was attempted to show during the
Federal grand jury's investigation, took a
mysterious ride IN a hack in company with J.
III. MackIn and another man on the night OF
Nov. 2l, when, it is understood, the false ball
lots were put into the ballOt-boX of the pre-
cinct mentioned. Gallagher was summoned
before the grand jury, but was not called
upon to testify. He gave bonds to might in
$4,000 to appear next Saturday. Warden
McGarigle, of the Cook County Hospital, and
Denis Kavanagh, saloon keeper, became his

Tor $l6,5S4, referred to by Judge Lawrence in

tnat only he or Barker could have made ont
the t claim He himself was out of the city at

OF Barkers handwriting and that which
appeared on the documents. He said that
when he first saw it he thought that il was
fraudulent, and referred it to Judge Law
renee as soon as that gentleman returned
from Ohio. Barker was called into Judge
Lawrence's office, and denied having any
knowledge OF the claim. The next day he
rendered his resignation. Late yesterday

THE TREATIES.

Arthur and Erelinghuysen Anxious to
Have Them Publicly Discussed.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.--It is believed that
the President and Secretary Frelinghuysen
would be glad to have the Spanish and Mica
treaties discussed in open Senate.
They would like to get their arguments for
the ratification Of the treaties well before the
country.
1t is supposed that the Senate will now
devote a good deal of its time to the treaties
lying before it. Tomorrow it will probably
decide the question of opening the doors
during their discussion in the negative. 1t is
believed on the Republican side OF the Senate
that neither the Spanish nor the Nicaragua
treaty will be voted on at this session.

LABOR's DEPRESSION.

Times Hard Among the Iron and Steel
Mills, but Better than in 1873.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. I6.-The Secretary of
the American Iron and Steel Association says
that he mas just returned from an extended
business trip to Pittsburg and other points on
the line OF the Pennsylvania Railroad and its
connections and must frankly say that he
found most branches of business to be in a
very depressed condition. There is q notable
absence, however, of that hopeless feeling
among the people which prevailed in the
wears following the panic of 1873.
NEW YORK's CONPOsITORs.
NEW YORK, Dec. I6.-The ECeHin0 Telegram
publishes the following: at is reported that
some of our evening contemporaries have
found it necessary in order to make ends
meet to reduce the rate OF payment OF their
type-setters. 1t appears strange that such an
economic measure should be required, for the
cNnerieuce of the Telegram proves conclusive
lv that New York offers almost unlimited en-
cOuragement in the shape OF circulation and
advertising patronage TO an evening paper
which will give all the news and devote itself
faithfully and without partiallty or prefer
ence to the best interests OF the people. No
matter what course other journals may be
obliged to pursue. the Telegram will not re-
duce the compensation of its cOmpOsltOrs, but
will continue to paw at the rate which has
heretofore prevailed by mutual consent OF
employer and employed.
LOO LOOMS IDLE.
WoONSOcKEr, r. l., Dec. l6.-The strike OF
the weavers is complete at the Manville mills,
