TOOK 'EM ALL I'm.
Chicago Victorious in Its Great Annexa
ton Election.

ChlCaEO VICTORIOUS IN lts UreaC An0e4as
ton Election.
A Chicago, ILL.,, dispatch of the 29th
says: The question of the annexation
TO Chicago of the closely adjoining
suburbs of Hyde Park, Lake, Lake
View, Cicero and Jefferson was voted
on to-day. The campaign, which has
been conducted fer several weeks past,
was spirited one, and both sides have
been making tremendous struggle.
The antis were generally headed by
the present officeholders in the SUBJ
urban governments, who made a bitter
fight against coming into the city. While
the official vote from all the points has
not yet been announced there is no room
tor doubt, from figures received, that all
the suburbs named have been carried
py the annexations. The various towns
give to Chicago an additional popula-
ton Of nearly 100000, bringing the total
up to nearly ], 100000. The territory
annexed will give Chicago total area
of about ia square miles, making it the
largest city, in area, in the United
States. All of the suburban towns an
nexed are built up solidly for miles,
radiating from the old city limits. A
person unacquainted with the bounda-
ries of Chicago would not know where
any of the towns began. the dividing
lines being the center of boundary
streets.

Cincinnati's Chief of Police Censured for
Not Enforcing the Sunday Laws.
CINCINNATI, o., June 2a-The police
commissioners considered charges
against Chief of Police Dietsch, pre-
ferred by citizens who on Sunday last
asked him in vain to order arrests
for violation of the Sunday clos.
ing law for saloons. The chief
showed that his action was
based on an order issued on Saturday
by Mayor Mosby. The board found
the chief guilty and sentenced him to a
public reprimand, which was at once
administered, coupled with an assurance
that the board retained its confidence
In his uprightness as an officer. The
occasion for the order by the mayor
that no arrests be made last Sunday was
the presence here of the Turner's at
their great festival. The mayor ex-
plains that he did not mean to suspend
the law, but only to postpone arrests
till Monday.

for the extradition of Martin Burke
came before the court to-day. Burke
was in court. Howell, counsel for the
applicants said that he was not ready to
proceed with the case to a close

oner; unless some evidence was pre-
eented he should be released. Howell
said be was prepared to give some evil
dence. The Judge said he would give
all the remands necessary to enable the
United States authorities to make good
their case.

lice force, then took the stand, and said
he knew Cronin, saw him about two
weeks before his disappearance also

BALTIMORE, Md, June 25.-Some time

Freeman's Journal sent request to
number of prominent men in the Unit
ed States and Canada asking them for
an opinion on the treatment political
prisoners had received in Ireland dur
ing the past three years. Among the
answers was the following from Cardi-
nal Gibbons:
RESPECTED AND DEAR SIR: In reply to your
favor OF the 9th ult., beg 10 say that tar
my opportunities enable me to Judge, it is the
g, neral sentiment OF our thoughtful American
people that the treatment Of political prisoners in

subject Is but passing ep sode soon

privilege of autonomy IN domestic affairs which

WHICH VICTORIA?
A Mystery of the Sea Develops on the
Nantucket shore.

Boston, Mass, June 25.-The mystery
attending the wreckage which is COM
ing ashore at Nantucket remains as
deep as ever. More bills of lading from
the steamer Victoria have been picked
up, and band of fishermen found a
trunk containing woman's clothes, a
steamer chair, and other arti-
cles of domestic use. These were
found on the south side of the island,
and that there was an ocean wreck
seems certain now. The question is,
What steamer Victoria can 1t be? The
Victoria Of the Anchor Line is safe in
her docks in New York. There is a
British steamship Victoria, last re-
ported at Pernambuco, which port
she left May 10 for Baltimore.
There is also another steam
slip Victoria, fruiter plying between
Boston and Baracoa, which left here
Tuesday Of last week on her usual trip.
It would seem more likely that the yes
sci was the British craft than that twas
the fruiter.
QUEBEC, June 25.-The steamer Vic
tory is ashore at Isle Verte and will
probably be total loss.

ESTIMATE OF THE DAMAGE.
The Pennsylvania Road Loses $1,000,
600 by the JOhnstuWn Flood.


The board of directors of the Penn
sylvania Railroad on the 26th held their
first meeting since the recent floods.
The result of the examination Of the
several main lines was discussed, and
while no accurate estimate was sub
mitted, as to the cost of making re-
pairs and placing the property in
the same condition as it was before
the flood, reports sufficiently in detail
were presented to show that on all the
lines, including the Philadelphia q Erie
and the Northern Central, the damage
done would not exceed ST, 500, 900. This
amount will be entirely supplied from
the surplus profits of all the companies
whose lines were affected, which surplus
is intended to meet just such extraor-
binary emergencies. The current net
revenues of the several 1mpanies will,
therefore. not be affected in any way
except bv the loss of traffic.
