RASCAllrY IN JERSEY CITY,

Mayor Cleveland Counted In by Gross
55 Frnuds-Citizcns Want n Contest.
New YoRK, April l0.-There is great
deal OF excitement among both Repub.
lican and Democratic residents OF Jersey
City. The announcement that Orestes
Cleveland, tho Democratic candidate
ior Mayor, had majority OF 1,S22 over
the Republican candidate. Mr.. Perkins,
has aroused the greatest indignation
among honest voters OF both parties.
Mr.. Cleveland stood as tho candidate OF
a gang whose members fatten on all the
rascality that is possible in corrupt
city. They draw, besides their regular
salaries, tribute from policy shops,
liquor stores, and the pool sellers Of the
Gutenberg race track.
At the election there was q regular
stampede OF voters from the Democratic
rlnks, and it is asserted that Mr.. Cleve.
lands majority is q fraudulent one. The
returns were he.dil districts whero The

ber OF the population. A recent investi
cation into the elections Of last fall show
cd that there had been terrific frauds
perpetrated in the First and Second dis.
tricts. It is from these same districts
that Cleveland received his minority
yesterday. The Republicans and homes.
Democrats who voted for Mr.. Perkins
are not disposed to submit quietly to
these fragrant crimes against them, and
that q recount Of the vote, in these two
precirDls ut least, will be demanded
there is scarcely doubt. At meeting
Of Democrats who voted Tor the Repub.
lican candidate, it was decided to send
the following letter 10 Mr.. Perkins, the
Republican candidate:
"In behalf Of several Thousand anti

BRISDlsI, April l0.-Mr. Stanley was
interviewed on his arrival here. In
speaking Of Emin, Mr. Stanley said he
did not believe he would try to recon-
quer the Equator Province, as it would
be necessary to eject the Mahdists, who
have over run the province. With ref.
erence to the claims made by the Ger.
mans to territory in Africa, Mr.. Stanley
said he was astonished at their pre!en-
sions. They apparently claimed the
whole OF that country. The Germans,
he said, could secure the services Of
Tippoo lib, il they paid him the price
he demanded.
Under much pressure Mr.. Stanley
stated an important TACT, which he had
intended to mention solely in his forth
coming book, and that was that the
Aruwhimi forest, which belonga to the
Congo Free State, was enormously richer
in everything, especially In rubber trees,
than the Amazon forests. This section
Of Africa, he declared, would be the rub.
ber reservoir Of the universe. King
