ment from the Secretary of the Treasury

ment of the public moneys since the foun-
dation of the Government, comparing those

DEMOCRATIC PRIMARIES.
ReveIatiOns-HOw Did All Those
Ballots Get There!

CHICAGO, June lS.
The primaries for the election of delegates
to the first, second, third and fourth congress
sional district democratic conventions were
held here last evening, and resulted IN the
choice of men who will send delegates to the
State democratic convention favoring Mayor
Harrison's nomination for governor and his
choice as one of the delegates at large to the
national democratic convention.
The four district conventions will also
choose district delegates to the national con-
yention, but it cannot be said from the re-
suits of the primaries last night what instruc-
tions, if any, these conventions will give as
to presidential nominee.
As the voting was about to begin at one of
the places in the first district where there are
two factions. several men of one faction
rushed into the room, seized the ballot-box
and threw it to the floor. The box bursting
open at the same time, four or five hundred
ballots were scattered on the floor. The at
tacking party claim that the box was stuffed.
The judges claim that the tickets were
thrown on the floor by one Of the intruders.
The box was taken to the police station.
What gives the matter a sensational char
acter is that J. C. Mackin, democratic organ
izer of the city, was one of the judges, and
that the leader of the invaders was Alderman
Wheelan, of the frstw ward.

g. 40, and both crews started even, with the
Harvards rowing 81 stroke and the Colum-
bias 80. Not at any time during ihe race
was there more than one length advantage
gained by either crew. and each at times
gained this small lead. Harvard spurted well

A Report Denied-What King John
Agreed to DO.

LONDON, june IS.
The Pail Mall Gazette denies the report
that anfarmy Of 10000 gallas is to invade the
Soudan from Abyssinia. All that King John
agreed to do was to facilitate the retreat of
the garrison at Kassola and Gallabat through
Abyssynia. The treaty which Admiral Hew
lit negotiated with King John arranges the
frontiers of Abyssynia and to establish in
that country communication with the sea.
The Abyssynia expedition to the Soudan did
not enter into the negotiations at all.
The Pail Mall Gazette thinks the govern
nent's decision to construct q railroad from
Suakim to Berber came too late for the road
to be made available for the expedition to
Khartoum.
