that he expected tho contest to be close
in his ward, but his friends had done
some good work. While he was hope
full he would accept defeat gracefully.
T.. IL. woodward, candidate for re-
election in the First ward said that he
had made no active canvass and had
been out of the city for the last ten
days II have been In the Council, >"
said he for six years and the people
know my record there. If they want
me to serve another term l am willing
to serve my ward and the city as l have
done in the past
Various predictions arc made as to
the result in each ward. There arc not
few who expect to see NJ. c. Thomas
lead the ticket in tho First ward, while
MIR. woodward is very strong candi-
date. MIR. Eckloff will undoubtedly
poll large vote. Nearly all the candi-
dates will furnish individual tickets and
1T is not probable that there will be any
combinations.
Tho vote in the Second ward will be
close, and no one need BIO surprised to
see either of the three elected Mr..
Goes election is considered certainty,
and the contest between Messrs. Camp
and McCahan will be close.
In the Third ward Mr.. Graves seems
to be in the lead, and Mr.. Graves is not
the only man that will be surprised
should he be defeated. The second
man Will evidently be selected from
Messrs. Pattie, Welsh and Scott.
There has been somo talk of dark
horse. and the negroes may spring a
candidate this morning. In this event
the dark horse would stand n fair chance
OF election should all the present candi-
dates remain in tho fold

WASHINGTON, May 27.-ISpccial =
The Secretary of tho Treasury this
morning telcgraphcd the commander of
the Rush to sail at once. Orders for the
revenue cutter Bear to sail for Alaska
were also sent by telegraph this after
noon and She will probably sail to-
morrow.
While it is impossible to obtain posi-
tive information as to tho character of
the instructions to revenue officers. il
is generally understood that they do
not differ in any essential particular
from the instructions of last year, indi-
eating that tho administration has not
changed its attitude in regard to the
catching of seals in Bering Sea. and that
United States revenue vessels viii
undertake to limit such operations to
the company having such right.

BRIBERS INDICTED.
Grand Jurors Jump on Tricky
O'maIIey's Assistants.

NEW ORLEANS, May a7.-TSpeciall =
The grand jury has found an indict-
ment against McCrystal and Cooney,
two of O'Malley's assistants, for at
tempting to bride jurors. 1t is not in a
pleasant frame of mind, for after in
vestigating bribery in connection with
the slaughter house Legislature for over
week, it has made the discovery that
there is no law to punish Offenders.
The bribery act covering the matter
has no penal clause.
The defense in tho bribery cases is
also making strong attempt to prove
uetects in the law. AL parties ap-
preached by tho indicted parties were
tales jurors and the act only mention,
grand and petty jurors. That is the
principal ground of the demurrer argued
yesterday and Judge Mari promised 10
give his decision soon.
The situation is exasperatinr and
some strong steps may be taken before
next week is out.

LATE IRISH NEWS.
MORNING AT KILLARNEY

The clouds from distant peaks unfold,
And morning breaks in glory!
And crag and keep and abbey old,
Rich in their glowing story,
Look up to greet the glories rolled
On crumblinR ruins hoary!
Dunaice Gap where Echo wakes
And calls the elves to rally
To Dinis isle, along the lakes
There's peace on hill and Valley
And only ripping water breaks,
TO show where light winds daily!
The boatnan to the eagle calls
Where waters bright are meeting.
Far DER Ross Castles broken walls
Above the white clouds feeting,-
The lark pours music which enthralls
In wild and wayward greeting:
At Brickeen Bridge the shadows stay
To watch the waters flowing
Round Innisfallen's ruins gray
The ivy old is growing.
And guards where holy men did pray,
And CLEANS while winds are blowing.
Old Muckross, with each stored grave
Great chieftains in it's keeping
With cloisters dim, and mould'ring nave.
And centured yew-tree weeping
Rests celmly by the cleaning wave
And wakes not from it's sleeping.
In far green fields the lovely fame
OF Aghadoe is dreaming
But rising DER the verdant plain
It's cross no more is cleaning!
Where sang of old the surpliced train
Only the sun is streaming.
