FEDERAL ELECTIONS.
Text OF the Federal Elections Bill Reported
BY Senator Hoar.


WASHINGTON, A April 25.-The Federal
Election bill reported by Senator Hoar
yesterday provides that the chief super
visors of elections now in office, their
successors and such chief supervisors as
may here after be appointed shall be
charged in their respective judicial dis
tricts, both in person and through the
supervisors of election who may be ap-
pointed, with the supervision of Con-
gressional elections, with the enforce
ments of the National election laws and
with the prevention of fraud and irregu-
larities in naturalization. Whenever
in any city having 10000 inhabitants
or upward or in any Congressional dis
trict not in such city, 100 or more
qualified voters shall petition the chief
supervisors alleging that there is danger
that unless the election is guarded il
will not be fair and free, the chief super
visor shall forthwith forward the petit
ton to the United States Circuit Court
for the district and, thereupon, it shall
be the duty of the Judge to open court
for the purpose of transacting all busi-
ness pertaining to the registration mat
ters as may by any United States law
there be transacted. The court, when
SO open for the transaction of such busi-
ness, may remain in session until the
second day succeeding the election, and
the judge may exercise his powers either
in open court or in chambers. The
chief supervisors may verify registration
lists and in any city of so, 900 inhabitants
or upward may cause house canvass
of every district, but no inquiry
shall be made as to the political opin-
ions of any person. Every person
charged with any duty with regard to an
Election of member of Congress who
shall wilfully and for the purpose of
affecting the election commit any fraud
thereon, shall be liable, on conviction,
to fine of not exceeding $1,000, or to
imprisonment not exceeding five years,
or both. The same penalty is provided
for bribery or attempted bribery of
voters. The Australian ballot system
finds no place in the provisions of the
bill, except that it is provided that no
State shall be prevented by the provis-
ions of the bill from printing ballots at
public expense or providing regulations
to screen each voter from observation
and to kee p his vote secret.

THE GREAT STRIKE.

Serious Condition OF Affairs In Chicaso-Ths
Great Strike Extending and All Glasses
Affected-Getting Beyond the Control Of
the Leaders.
CHICAGO, April est is the opinion
of capitalists as well as labor leaders
that May will find Chicago in the
midst of one of the greatest strikes ever
experienced here. The demand for
eight hours will be almost universal
while the employers in the different
trades are all seemingly determined not
to grant the demand.
The carpenters strike seems as far
from termination as on the day the
men went out; the gas filters and har-
ness makers will 60 out Monday, the
brick makers are now out with no as
surance of speedy termination of their
strike; and these, with the $4,000 stock
yards employees who are determined to
get eight hours or quit, makes a total of
about 81, 900 men who will, from present
indications be striking on May 1.
Should such general movement be
made, innumerable branches of trades
and industries of less proportion will
follow in the wake Of the great outbreak
and business in Chicago will be all but
paralyzed, while fully SC, 900 men will be
idle.
Joseph Gruenhut who has long held
prominent place among the socialistic
labor agitators Of this city. and who is
now tenement house inspector and stat
istician of the health department, has
compiled table Of figures of the num-
Ter of laboring people in this city who
will either strike for eight hours on
May l or be made idle by strikes in col
lateral industries on which they de-
pend. According to this table the
number of wage workers, male and
female, who will not be at work at thae
time reaches the surprising aggregate Of
about 2aS, 900. This covers only the city
as it was previous to last years annexa-
ton of the Town of Lake, Hyde Park,
Lake View, Cicero and jefferson. The
importance of this statement will be az
parent when it is stated that the Town
of Lake alone contains $4,000 people
directly affected by the strikes now con-
templated.
The Stairbuilders' Union held a meet
ing at which it was decided to strike for
eight hours as days work on May l.
The union has about 800 members.
According to current reports the mon
ster demonstration which has been ar
ranged for May as an expression of
sentiment only may, it is now feared,
turn into the beginning of strike
which the leaders will be powerless to
direct much less control. Certainly
many thousand strikers will be added to
the carpenters.
The stockyards and packing house
employees, the stair builders, mill car.
penters, gas filters, iron molders and
harness makers, have already announced
their intention of striking. Besides
these the tailors, shoemakers, plasterers,
lathers cornice makers, metal workers
and many other lines of labor seem de-
termined to join the ranks.
The idleness among the building
trades consequent on the carpenters
strike is increasing. The president Of
the Bricklayers' Union called at the
strikers headquarters and said that
less than 500 of the $500 bricklayers in
the city were at work. The same state
of affairs prevails in most of the build
ing trades.

Jeweler Robbed.

LOUISVILLE, KY, April 23-Satrrday
a neat looking man bought ring at the

left it to have his initials put in Yes
terday he and another man came in

about buying. Only the elder Steinau
was in. The man who bought the ring
suddenly called Steinau's attention to
some article and the confederate slipped
a case of jewelry containing forty-one
rings and two sets Of earrings worth
$1,000 into his pocket The latter soon
after left Steinau did not discover the
theft till after an hour later.

BISMARCK ON SOCIALISM.
1t May Yet Cause Trouble in Germany-No
Fear of May Day.

LONDON, April 26.-The Herald pub
fishes the report of an interview had by
one of its representatives with Prince
Bismarck. The ex-Chancellor said he
would not, if it were in his power, in
terfere with the workingmen in any
way on May day, nor would he dis
play any anxiety, which only increases
the aggressiveness of the agitators.
Socialism, he said, would yet cause
trouble in Germany, and the man who
would yield to that element to prevent
manifestation was a coward. 1t was
sometimes an act of oenevolence to shed
the blood of the riotous in defense of
the law-abiding. May day was not a
dangerous enemy, and the naming of it
for an assault ought not to be dreaded.
1t would only be a sham fight like the
battles of the Salvation army.

have merely clerical duties to perform.

OF course, if Mr.. Yaple desires to do
