MUCH AFRAID OF FRAUD.

Chicago Republicans Impute Vice,
Themselves Arch-Corruptionists.
CHICAGO, April 8.-Col. Nye, chairman Of
the republican campaign committee, went
before the election commissioners this
morning and requested that two of his
committee be permitted to remain on guard
over the vault in which the returns and
documents are preserved night and day
until the official canvas has taken place.
my reasons for asking this" he said, "are
amply sufficient. | have been informed
upon unquestionable authority that Mayor
Creigiet has declared no circumstances can
remove him from Office for two years.
That seems to me to warrant extraordinary
precautions against fraud?" The election
commissioners finally agreed that two
men should be permitted to remain
in the vault room until the official
canvaH commences to- morrow. As additional
precaution the combination was changed on
the safe containing the. official returns.
Subsequently Chairman Nye asked that the
judges of the fifteenth precinct, Twenty
ninth ward, be prosecuted for refusing to
admit Anton Pophal, challenger of the re-
publican and citizens parties, to the
polling room. Nye stated that of 565 regis
tered votes in that precinct 564 are shown
to have voted, and that of these 542 are re-
corded for Cfegier and only six for Hemp
stead Washburne, and sixteen for the other
three candidates. He said he had strong
supicions that fraud had besn resorted to
in several precincts and he was engaged in
ferreting out the perpetrators.

The Foreigners Drilling at Anaconda Are
Not Italians.
ANACONDA April s.-lSpecial. l. Sheriff
Quigley was here to-day investigating tho
matter of the drills that foreign born resi-
dents have been conducting during the
past few days. The leaders of the COM
pany told him that nearly all of the $50
men or SO who have been drilling are Aus
tralians, not Italians. They said their ac-
tion had nothing to do with the trouble
with Italy. On the contrary, they said
that all had declared their intentions to be-
come citizens of the United States, and
with that object in view thought it would
be eminently proper to form a company of
militia to be part of the Montana Ma
tional Guards. They replied they expected
Gov. Toole to recognize the company as
such. Sheriff Quigley explained to them
that the citizens had mistaken them for
Italians and still labored under that inn
preston. He therefore requested them to
suspend their drills for u day or two in or
der to avoid possible demonstrations of hos
tility. This they cheerfully agreed to do.

Cause of the Withdrawal

ROME, April 8.-The Message Roux an
nounces that upon the reassembling of the
chamber of deputies the premier will sub
NIT the correspondence exchanged between
the United States and the Italian govern
ment on the subject of the New Orleans
lynching. Many we'll informed people here
declare that Fava's recall was precipitated
to afford the Italian ministry reasons for its
failure to effect the promised reductions in
the army and navy and other national expen-
ditures. The Italia to-day expressed the
opinion that the Americans have but one
god-their strong box. 1t says further: I'm
this strong box we must strike them, de-
manding the largest possible ind emnity.''

CmcAao. April 9.-About midnight to-
night both republicans and democrats were
claiming to be yictors in the exciting cleo
ton for the mayoralty. Each side, how
ever, had practically minimized its claims
to plurality of two or three hundred.
The official count, to begin tomorrow. is
awaited with Impatience. The democrats
pnt forward the assertion that many
votes for Elmer Washburn, citizens
candidate, were counted for Hemp-
stead Washburn. On the other hand
the republicans protest that in one pre-
cinct alone. at the stock yards, over a hun
dred votes were deposited for names that
were refused registration, and that some Of
the names are those OF persons who have
been dead for weeks or months. In this
particular precinct, it is charged, affairs
were 80 manipulated that every judge and
clerk, without exception, we're democrats,
and the plurality for Cregier was something
abnormal. Not few people Tonight were
inclined to believe the many alleged mis7
takes and changes in estimates were in the
interests of the gambling fraternity, and
were designed to give certain big book
makers chance to hedge out on their bots.
