Associated Press DISPATCHES to the HERALD
CHICAGO, April S.-The politicians OF
this city have been astonished by the
announcement that it is discovered that
the recent municipal election in this city
is illegal, and that it is within the power
of any citizen to overthrow it. This state
of affairs grows out of decision OF the
State Supreme Court rendered since the
election was held. Last November the
suburban towns of Brighton Park and
Cicero were, by vote of their people
annexed to Chicago. The village officers
of both places, however, contested the
matter, and it has since been pending in
the courts. The decision of the court
annexed the territory of the townships
of South and West Chicago. but
did not operate to make it part
of the city, the powerto extend the limits
of which rests entirely with the City
Council. Therein lies the trouble. The
law of the State provides that whenever
all of township lies within the limits OF
city, the city election shall be held on
the first Tuesday after the first Monday
in April, and where the township is not
all included within the city limits, the
election shall be held on the third
Tuesday in April. Under the decision of
the Supreme Court ratifying the aDnexa-
ton of Brighton Park and Cicero to the
towns of West and South Chicago, the
city does not entirely cover the town.
ships, and therefore the municipal
election should have been held April
23d. Moreover, the law requires
that twenty days notice of the election
shall be given, and as the time is too
short between that date and the third
Tuesday in April for legal notice, it seems
questionable whether the mistake can be
rectified by new election on that date.
Wide fields of speculation are open as to
the probability of reversing the verdict
of the people in the recent political land
slide. II is claimed that if the present
Republican administration is willing to
invoke the law it can hold ever and pre-
vent the newly-elected Democrats from
taking their States. 1t is said that Mayor
Roche has consulted the cooperative
counsel in regard to the matter, but it
cannot be learned that any decision was
reached.
This evening resident of the annexed
territory applied to Judge JAMESON for
an injunction restraining the Election
Commissioners from counting or declar-
ing the votes cast. The ground taken
was that the residents of the annexed
strip having no notice of the election,
were deprived of their electoral rights,
vitiating the whole election. The appli-
cant YVES armed with recommendation
from Master in Chancery, that the in
junction be issued. Judge Jameson set
the matter for hearing at 10 O'Clock to-
morrow morning.

Kasson ON samoa.

New YORK, April 8.-Ex-Minister
Kasson, one of the Samoan Commission,
who sails with Commissioners Bates and
Phelps, on Friday, for Liverpool, in de-
clining to express an opinion In regard to
the stand taken by this Govern
ment, said: "We all wish to
enter the conference as free as
possible from any utterances on the
subject. We have considered that the
main question which confronts US q
decision upon some mode of protecting
the rights OF foreigners at Samoa without
interfering with native Independence.
Our general aim is to secure
good order at Samoa and maintain
the principle of the equal rights
of the powers interested there" !"
Kasson when asked if he thought that
the destruction of the naval squadron at
Samoa would affect the settlement, said
ne thought it would. There would prob
ably be more strenuous efforts to reach
a settlement 80 as to render unnecessary
the maintenance of an armed force at

Bronke. The officers, on reaching
the house, found Bronke lying dead on
the bed, with two bullet holes through the

emily shot Bronke while the latter was in
bed. After the shooting, Sullivan went

letter to the Royal Geographical Society
was read at the meeting of that body this

repetition of what has already been pub

GUS devices by which the natives epdeav-
ored to prevent the advance Of the expe-
dition. One of theee was to dig shallow pits
across the path Of the column and fill
them with skewers, which were gently
covered with leaves. The skewers pierced
the feet OF Stanley's men, inficting
wounds which, in many cases, devel-
oped into dangerous sores. The men
who were lamed in this manner were
seldom Of further service. Stanley calls
the natives cunning rogues" and says
that for the purpose of extortion they
always pretended that the country was
suffering fr IN famine. Stanley believes
that the lake he discovered in 1876 be-
longs to the Congo.
