that certain officers did not want TO sail in the
vessel as they preferred the newer cruiser and
were trying to cause a seaworthy vessel to be
condemned. Boards and surveyors were or.

any neglect OF duty or carelesSEess on the part

Edward NJ. Allison felt loath to say much OF
the matter until hearing was had. He said
however, that if it was fact that certain title

authority, that Mayor Cregier has declared no
circumstance can remove him from his 10 ,e

statement that the returns as received at the

the result is unchanged, giving the victory to

The election commissioners agreed that two

presence of his eldest son, Prince Victor. He

MANSFIELD, o., April S.-Senator Sherman
left his home in Mansfield yesterday for Column
bus to meet the Republican members of the
legislature who have invited him to confer
ence to determine matters of policy for the
party in Ohio during the coming fall fight.
Speaking OF presidential possibilities, he said
Il guess the administration is all right. Harri-
son has given the country quiet, conservative
administration, and I am OF the opinion that
the people applaud and admire such q policy.
They like safety and business sagacity in a
President"
DO you think he will be renominated?'
mo, do not. 1t seems to be the disposition
OF the people to do away with the old party
leaders and look for material in the younger
element of the party, say Major Mckinley, for
instance. or course the convention is a long
way off, but my Judgment is that some man
younger than Harrison will be the nominee IS
DO you think Mr.. Blaine still has presiden-
tial aSpirations?n
M 1 do not. / think Mr.. Blaine ia quite IN
willing to go through second camp aign as the
leader. He is careful of his health and thus one
consideration, think, will keep him out of the
list OF candidates"
Whom do you think the Democrats will
nominate?'
Il am not now quite so sanguine that Cleye-
land will be the nominee. At one time thought
so; but in view Of the opposition L now see and
read of, do not think ne will be nominated"
Are you looking after your fences, Sena-
tor?'

Indians Honor a White Woman.

Especial to THE Observation-Disclosures Dispatch I
NEW YORK, April S.-For the first time in the
history of the North American Indians a white
woman, Mrs. Harriet Maxwell Converse. has
received the honor of national adoption by an
Indian nation. Instances of name giving have
been not infrequent among the Indians. the
naming being accompanied with considerable
ceremony and usually terminating with feast.
These ceremonies, however, are purely compli-
mentary evidencing a feeling of friendship for
the person named and an appreciation of some
act OF kindness. The only instance of afilia-
ton of white woman with the Indians is that
Of the historically celebrated white captive Nav
Jammiion, who was taken captive by the Indi-
ans and adopted by Seneca family There is
however, no record of her having received n
national adoption. Mrs. Converse has ALWAYS
defended the rights of the Indians of this state
and she effectively aided the Indian delegation
at Albany to oppose bill before the assembly
which, II carried as a law, would ha Ye deprived
them of their land. The name given Mrs. Con
verse is a-Ih-Wah-Noh, which signifies 'am-
bassador. or, the watcher" This is the clan

CHICAGO ELECTION.
An Official Count Will Now be
Necessary
10 Determine Who is Chosen Mayor-Chair-
man Nye Demands that Republican
Watchers be Put Over the Returns.

CHICAGO, April Sat midnight tonight both
Republicans and Democrats were claiming to
be victors in the exciting election for the mayor
atty. Each side, however, had practically
minimized its claims TO plurality of two or
three hundred. The official count to begin to-
morrow, is awaited with Impotence.
The Democrats put forward the asser-
ton that many votes for Elmer Washburn,
the Citizens candidate were counted for Hemp
stead Washburne. On the other hand, the Re-
pubIicans protest that in one precinct alone at
the stock yards over a hundred votes were de-
posted for names that were refused registra-
t1on 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 so manipulated
that every judge and clerk without exception
were Democrats and the plurality for Cregier
was something abnormal. Not few people to-
night were inclined to believe the many alleged
mistakes and changes in the estimates were in
the interests OF the gambling fraternity and
were designed TO give certain big book keepers
chance TO hedge out on their bets.

BELLEVUE, Ida, April Especial telegram to
THE HERALD. Senator Shoup on his arrival
home at Salmon City in responding to recep-
ton rendered HIM by his own townsmen, paid a
glowing tribute TO Senator Mcconnell, but put

tered into by both before drawing for terms.
According TO their mutual understanding which
ever one drew the short term should have the
honor of introducing all Idaho bills during the
session, while the other should assist all in his
power. This explains why Senator Mcconnell
introduced so many bills while Senator Shoup
was so silent.
