EACH GAINED ONE VOTE
Such Is the Result of the Baird
Ross Contest.
The Majority of Mr.. Ross Remains
as II Was.
Judgment Entered By Judge Scott
in His Favor.

The celebrated case Of John G. Baird
VS., U. +. Ross, contesting the election of
the latter as councilman from the First
ward. was concluded in the district court
yesterday, Judge Scott entering Judgment
IN the case for Ross.
When court opened yesterday, Judge
Scott concluded that the quickest way to
reach the root OF the matter was not to
begin IN argument of the law points, as
was at first intended, which would in
volve a good deal of time, but to proceed
at once to count the ballots in the two
precincts in which it was claimed by Mr..
Baird that he had lost more than enough
Of votes to elect him. This would include
the count Of all the ballots accepted by
the judges of election as legal and those
marked illegal or spoiled" Court
Clerk Atkinson and John A. Martin
were called into service as t~ellers.
The ballots cast in the second pre-
cinct of the First ward we're first taken
up. They were cast upon the counsel
table aud removed from the string upon
which they were strung one at a time by
Mr.. Baird himself. He then handed
them to Judge Van Devanter, who, hav-
ing scrutinized them, handed them to Mr..
Stoll, who called out the name of the
candidate for council for whom they had
been cast. This work advanced very
rapidly, and resulted as follows 10 the
second precinct: Baird 1872, Ross lei,
Bufin At, blank official ballots %. pre-
cisely to a dot the return made by the
judges and clerks of election.
The first precinct (South Side vote
was then taken up and gone over. The
result was declared to be, Baird so. Ross
81, Bufin los. This shows a gain of one
vote Tor each Of the three candidates and
consequently did not alter the result. In
the case of Ross the tally book showed
him entitled to this additional vote and in
the cases of the other 10 gentlemen one
ballot was counted for each which through
some informally had been rejected by the
judges of election. In the rejected and
spoiled ballots three were found for
Button, two for Baird and one for Ross.
Even il these could have been allowed
Ross would still have been declared
elected by Il majority of one vote, but
the evidence submitted showed that
these ballots had been returned to the
Judges of election by voters who had
through mistake placed crosses opposite
the names of people for whom they had
not intended to vote and in their stead
had been furnished new ballots. None of
these ballots had. of course, been counted
by the Judges OF election.
1t was therefore shown that MIR. Ross
was clearly elected by a majority of three
as the original official count had shown and
a judgment in his favor was consequently
by the court.

THE ESMERALDA
Salutes the Mexican Flag, and the Salute is
Returned.

CITY OF MEXIco, May 26,-The DUad
Del HoQdr publishes letter from Aca-
pulco, which says that the Chilian in
Surgent steamer Esmeralda on entering
the port saluted the Mexican flag, and
that the Mexican government in return
Saluted the Esmeralda's flag, thus max
ing it an open question whether this
was recognaton by Mexico of the
Chilian insurgents.
The Captain of the Esmeralda in an
interview at Acapulco, few days ago,
said that it was not his intention TO take
coal by force or he would have done so
before. He also said he was not III a
hurry to leave the port, but was wait
ing for further instructions. One OF the
other officers of the Esmeralda, in a
conversation held in coffee house, said:
''We have some coal and will soon have
more. The Captain has reason for
waiting or he could and would have
gone ere this. The Captain received a
number of kilograms some days ago."

TROOPS MAY TAKE A HAND.
Fighting in Paris Between the Strikers
and Police.


and Police.
PARIS, May 26.-The strike Of the
stage drivers continues to-day and is
causing great excitement in this city.
Great crowds of people, the majority
of whom are in warm sympathy with
the strikers, surround the depots Of the
omnibus company. During the night
and this morning the company's depots
and offices were guarded by strong
forces of police and detachments OF
troops
There was no serious diSturbance.la asst
night, but rioting was renewed early to-
| day, when the stage company, assisted
by the police, made an endeavor 10 run
several stages. No sooner were the
stages well out of the depots when they
were greeted with voleys of stone.
Though the stages were escorted by
policemen, the strikers watched their
opportunity and, at signal agreed
upon, charged furiously upon the
stages, swept away the police lines,
dragged the drivers from their boxes,
pounded them vigorously, cut the traces
of the horses, and, in several cases, over
turned and seriously damaged the
stages themselves.
The police were unable to successfully
resist the mob. At one time II was
thought that the troops would be called
upon to take action, but the authorities,
in view Of the resentment which was
aroused by the slaughter Of the men by
the soldiers at Fourmies on May Day,
are not expected to order the troops TO
fire upon the people unless absolutely
compelled to do so.
Two stages were stopped by strikers
at certain point and the horses were
embarrassed and led away amid the
ieers of the crowd. When the - black
leg" drivers and conductors were pulled
from the stages, the inhabitants of the
neighboring houses, male and female,
nearly smothered them with showers OF
dirty water, filth and refuse. When
the "backlegs" finally escaped they
were in as filthy a condition as il Is pos
tible for men to be in.
Squads of police attempted, by re-
peated charges upon the strikers and
their supporters, 10 protect the stages
issuing from the depot on the Boule-
ward Bourbon, but the crowds respond
ed Dy attacking ana OVerpOWerlhB Jne
police. The strikers then pulled the
'tlacklegs" from the stages, maltreated
them, and compelled the stages to return
into the depot. The police later or were
reinforced, and made many arrests
among the strikers who had been prom
inent in the rioting
Eighty additional arrests of strikers
were made this morning. This makes
about 300 strikers who are in the Gus
tody of the police. 1t is announced that
the government has decided to inter-
vene in the stage drivers strike. 1t is
added that the governments determi-
nation to interfere in the strike is sole
ly for the purpose Of assuring convey
ance for the public, who naturally
suffer considerably from total suspen-
sion Of the stage service.
