While Two Chicago Policemen stood By
and Thought Ii Was q Friendly scunie.
CHICAGO, July 6.-Alexander Lund was
robbed and then deliberately murdered in Mil
ton near Chicago avenue this morning A little
past midnight Officers Reynolds and Reedy were
patroling in that neighborhood and noticed
q group of men engaged in what they took TO
be friendly scufie. They paid no attention
to the disturbance until a shot was fired, when
they both ran TO the scene. They found .
man living on the sidewalk with a bullet
hole over the heart. REYNOLDS
mained by the dying man while Reddy
gave chase to the murderers. He fired four
shots at them, but none of the bullets took
effect, while they returned the fire each time.
All but one made their escape and he was locked
up. He gave the name Of Joseph Wright and
asserted that he had no knowledge Whatever of
the affair.
Edward McCabe an iron worker, who was
walking on Milton avenue during the chase,
received bullet wound in the back and ID in Q
serious condition
1t is thought by the police that the unknown
man was murdered by members Of q well-known
gang OF North Side toughs, who were RESPONSE
BILE, it is said for the shooting Of Lieut. bsrcal
of the East Chicago avenue precinct. The
lieutenant. when on his way home Sunday, dis
covered two men trying to force entrance

PENNSYLVANIA DEMOCRATS.
They Are Encouraged to Believe They Can
Be Successful This Fall.

BE Successful This Fall.
The Keystone Bank scandal and the revolt
against the Quay methods in politics and the
general suspicion of fraud and corruption
which attaches to the Quay management Of
Pennsylvania politics has encouraged the dem
ocrats in the belief that they may win another
victory in that state this fall.
Ex-Representative Maish, who has been in
Washington for several DAYS told a STAR re-
porter today that on the 10th of July there
would be meeting Of the leading democrats
in the state at Philadelphia to discuss the situ-
alton and consider the general plan Of cam
paign for this fall.
I'VE believe, he said, ''that under the cir
cumstances we have good chance Of electing
the state treasurer and auditor general and
probably the city treasurer of Philadelphia to
I'LL the place made vacant by Bardsley's going
to the penitentiary. The only chance the repub-
hcans have Of electing successor to Bardsley
fectiy clean, and in no way connected or mixed
up with the old ring. If they nominate Etting,
as they will If they are wise. he will
make about the strongest candidate they
could run, because of his activity
In trying to expose the fraud and
ocrats will probably nominate Wright, who has
been appointed by Gov. Pattison. and believe
We can elect him. There is a widespread dis
content among the best class of republicans
against the existing ring methods and we stand a
good chance of success this fall. The conference
to be held on the 10th will be an important one
and is apt to result greatly to the advantage Of
the democratic party"
When asked about the sentiment among the
Pennsylvania democrats with relation to the
presidential nomination, Mr.. Maish said:
"Of course if Mr.. Pattson should seek the
nomination and should demand the Pennsyl-
vania delegation at the national convention he
would get 1t and they would support him 10y
ally, but Cleveland is the most popular demo-
crat In Pennsylvania. My own opinion is
that he Is the strongest and in all
ways the safest man We can nominate.
You saw the other day the result of the
canvass of the Western Editorial Association
That gives good idea of the sentiment of dem
ocrats OF the state-they are for Cleveland
ahead of everybody. His nomination will un-
doubtedly be for the best interests OF the
party. 1t will save the party from consider
able embarrassment in the campaign, will
make the tariff the main issue and, l belle We,
will insure success. have no doubt about his
getting the nomination.
With relation to the speakership contest he
said that it would be found to be the sentiment
OF the north and east that the speakership of
the next House should be given to the south
or rather that the best man for the place should
get 1t without regard to his place of resi-
dence. There could be no sectionalism
in the contest, he said; the strongest and best
candidates were from the SOUTH and one of
them-eithe- Mills. Mcmillan or Crisp-would
be chosen. The democrats could not make a
sectional issue themselves and then complain
OF the other party doing SO.

Ex-senator Blair is Not Drawing Salary ~

1t is stated that it contained polite but none

been drawing the salary attached to the mis-
sion of 81, 900 per annum. What action the
administration will take next is problematical.

Mr.. Wharton, acting secretary Of state, said
to STAR reporter this morning that he would
prefer not to talk about the subject of Mr..

HAYTI A HOT PLACE.

Minister Douglass Has . Talk With the Act
ing Secretary OF State.
Minister Frederick Douglass called at the
State Department this morning and had chat
with Assistant Secretary Wharton, who il now
acting secretary Of state. Mr.. Douglass did
not touch very heavily upon diplomatic SUBJ
jects, but confined himself almost entirely to
that attitude which is officially known as ''pay-
ing his respects." He told Mr.. Wharton tina.
he had found Hayt q very hot place. In the
daytime the mercury ranged from 81 to 50, and
ut night from 50 to IS. He had suffered great
deal from the heat, but his sea voyage had
helped him wonderfully. There was no mem
ton of st. Nicholas Mole or Of the affairs in
Hayti, and Admiral Gherardis name was not
mentioned in the interview, which was brisf
one.
