MILWAUKEE, ELECTION,
The Author of 'P'eck's Bad Boy" Elected
Mayor.

mayor.
MILWAUKEE, April IA hot contest is
in progress over the city election. There
are three tickets in the field-Repub-
lican, Democratic and citizens. The
Lutherans and Catholics forced the Ben
nett compulsory education law into the
campaign. They demand it's repeal,
and will vote for no candidate who does
not agree with them. This aroused the
American and Protestant elements, and
they turned out en- masse.
Indications tonight are that George
w. Peck, the Democratic editor Of Peck's
San, has been elected over Mayor Brown,
renominated by the Republicans There
was also third party in the field,
headed by N. S. Murphey, the labor
citizens candidate. Many Democrats
denounced the position of their party on
the educational law, but voted for the
party candidate on the ground that
the law was not an issue
with the municipal candidates. The
Lutheran and Catholic clergy were very
active in supporting the Democratic
candidates, who were pledged to the re-
peal of the Bennett law. Full returns
will be late.
LATER.-The Democrats elected Peck
Mayor and the entire ticket, by 5000
majority.

BERLIN, April To-day was the sew
enty-fifth anniversary of the birthday of
Bismarck. The railway station at Fried
richsruhe was almost blocked by the
enormous number of presents arriving
for the Prince. During the day Bis
marck received numberless congratu-

quietly with his family
Twelve hundred railroad men formed
torchlight procession tonight, and
marched to Bismarck's residence, where
the ex-Chancellor was serenaded with
patriotic songs. Bismarck spoke.
After thanking the visitors, the Prince
walked the entire length of the process
sion, and was greeted with deafening
cheers. He evinced considerable emo
tion, and was obliged to wipe away the
tears that stood in his eyes. His speech
is regarded as a proof of his keen and
unimpaired intelligence and marvellous
memory.
Besides his portrait, Emperor William
sent handsome pipe and autograph

After the procession last night Herr
Woerman, in the course of conversa-
ton, expressed the hope that the Prince
would not be altogether stranger to
politics, and that he would still take
part in the debates in the Reichstag.
To this Bismarck made an acquiescent
reply.
The National Gazette's Paris correspon-
dent telegraphs that Jules Simon, one of
the French delegates to the Labor Con-
gress, is surprised at the extent of En-
peror Williams knowledge. He said (:
The Emperor is greatly changed. He
has been falsely represented to us for

no immediate practical result, it will be
useful in spite of the sceptics; it will be

THE OUTLOOK FOR WHEAT.
Prospects for Light Crop in the Central
States.


CHICAGO, April 1.-The Farmers Re
yiew tomorrow will say in part: Out
side of Kansas the reports from our crop
correspondents, relative to the condition
of winter wheat, are very discouraging
particularly is this true of Illinois, and
but six counties in Illinois-Carroll,
Clay, Henderson, Kankakee, Lee and
Peoria-estimate the present condition
at 100 per cent. All the other counties
report the damage at from 10 to go per
cent. Is is safe to say that the average
condition OF wheat in this State, outside
OF the favored counties named, is 80 to 40
per cent. below the usual average of this
time Of the season. The same state of
affairs prevails in Indiana, only seven
counties reporting the condition good.
Ohio reports make better average, but
show a great decline in the past few
weeks. Kentucky reports show falling
off of about II per cent. in the general
average. The average for Missouri falls
about 61a per cent. lower than last re-
port, although many counties report the
condition good. In Kansas the reports
show slight change. Fifteen counties
report injury from frost and dry, cold
winds, but in the majority of the coun-
ties the condition is reported 100 per
cent. or over. In Michigan and Wiscon-
sin the condition of wheat has continued
to decline; but two counties in Wiscon-
sin report the condition 100 per cent ;
other counties have suffered from 10 to
so per cent. The general averages from
the reports received are summarized ::
Illinois, rs per cent; Indiana, rs; Ohio,
o8; Missouri, "a; Kentucky, 81; Kansas,
50; Wisconsin, 72; Michigan, 81.

Associated Press Dispatches.

Topeka, Kan, April ELECTIONS
were held in Kansas today in sixty cities
of the first, second and third class, for
Councilmen and members of the school
boards. In nearly all the cities the
battles were fought on purely local is
sues. The chief interest attaching to
the elections was the exercise of suffrage
by women.
At Manhattan two years ago they cap
tured all the city offices, and had
ticket in the field today. The prospects
are that it was elected over the three
other tickets. They had control of the
election machinery, having appointed
women judges and clerks of election at
all the precincts.
AT Leavenworth the women nominated
a candidate for Council and three for
school board OH the Republican ticket.
Something over 600 women were regis
tered, but only hall of them went to the
polls. The Democrats ran a straight
male ticket, and it was elected with the
exception of one or two Councilmen.
All the women were defeated.
At Emporia the women were worked
up to the highest pitch of political ex-
citement over the candidacy of Mrs.
Jackson for reelection as member of
the school board. The issue was on the
proposition OF opposition by Mrs. Jack
son to reduce the salaries of school
teachers. Mrs. Jackson's platform was
Good salaries for good teachers" The
returns tonight indicate her reelection.
At Topeka about $50 women were reg
istered, but only little over half OF
them voted. They had no candidates in
the field, and were not directly inter-
ested in the election.
The women of Atchison had three
candidates in the field on the Demo-
cratic ticket for election to the school
board. The straight Republican ticket
was victorious, including one lady can
didate.
The registration of women throughout
the State in the cities of the second and
third classes was generally smaller than
usual, owing to the lack of issues.
At Salina, Kansas, the female suf-
fragists nominated women candidates for
the school board. A colored woman was
run by the anti-suffragists The suffrag-
lists were defeated, and the colored
woman was elected by an overwhelming
majority.

ON TREES AND HOUSETOPS.
Terrible Suffering from the Flood in
Laconia Circle. .t

Laconia Circle. iis
ST. LOUIS, April Information as to
the state Of affairs in the flooded Laconia
circle, the section of country between
Helena and Arkansas City, lying be-
tween the Mississippi and White
rivers, says the people have been
in the tops Of their houses
and clinging to trees for week,
many of them nearly starved to
death. Many of their cattle which were
placed on platforms have been washed
away and drowned. The citizens of
Helena sent the steamer Houston Coombs
down Thursday to aid the people.
On Friday men went over the whole cir
Gle in skiffs and transferred the people
from the trees and roofs to the gin
houses, which are generally large
and substantial. All the gin
houses are packed with people, ias
many as two hundred being in
some OF them. The Coombs brought out
100 people and 110 head of stock, arriv-
ing at Helena yesterday. When the
Coombs came out the steamer Titan,
with barges, went in. 1t is thought
it can bring out all the remaining stock
and as many people as desire to go
away. Many planters are utterly ruined.

QUEENSTOWN, April 1.-The City of
Paris has sailed for Liverpool.
LONDON, April 1.-The agents of the
Inman line telegraph from Queenstown
as follows: The flooded compartments of
the City of Paris have been pumped
dry. A close examination shows that
the bottom of the vessel is uninjured,
and all the bulkheads are sound, except
those of the engine-room, which were
somewhat damaged from the pounding
OF the broken machinery. The port
engines are in working condition, and
the steamer will leave Queenstown for
Liverpool under her own steam. In our
judgment the vessel throughout was per-
fectly safe, and everything indicates
that she would have continued to float
indefinitely, as she was without further
submerson or risk after the original
disaster occurred.
