A REPUBLICAN VIEW
OF the Chicago EIection-some Very Harsh
Things Charged.

CHICAGO, April 1.-THE following is a
sample of what the Republican papers OF
this city are saying in regard to the late
election for Mayor:
The Tribune sent reporters into the Fiji
teenth precinct of the Twenty-ninth ward,
where Cregier DEM received 512 votes
against for Washburne (Rep) and claims
that even a superficial investigation gives
evidence of wholesale fraud. Its reporters,
It says, found about thirty names ofpersons
in the official registry who were either
dead, not naturalized or had removed from
the precinct AS samples of the kind of
work done in that precinct, it says: Last
fall the gang cracked the skull and bat
tered the body of j. Kurr, of No. 4244 Ash
land avenue, and he now lies in a grave
yard: but last Tuesday they voted him for
De Witt {. Cregier
Last summer Mr.. Slechter, of 4, ,240 Ash
land avenue, went to Wheeling, w. Va,
where he is now living, but last Tuesday
the gang voted him for Dewitt G.. Greg
ier.n
It summarizes the situation as follows
The gang voted not only the living for
him but the dead; not only those living in
the precinct and the surrounding neighbor-
hoods, but those in other States and for
eign countries. They summoned cadavers
from Calvary Cemetery and spirits from
abroad, and voted them for Dewitt O..
Cregier The Tribune charges that it is not
safe for Republican TO live or attempt
TO vote the Republican ticket in that pre-
cinct

} convention after two days session wound
I'D here this evening. The strike was dis
cussed in all its features, and at several
times the serenity of the meeting was dis

The four representatives OF the n. I. y.

harmonic with those OF the h OF l.. dele
gates The strike was fully discussed,
and a course of action for the future de-
cided upon.
Mass meetings are being held daily at the
principal points in the region to bolster up
the drooping spirits of the strikers. These
meetings will be held this coming week.
There was "A unity of expression on the
question of remaining out, but nearly every
delegate pre- sent hoped for an early con-
ference and a satisfactory settlement.
The convention passed resolutions that
that they were law adding citizens and
ordered all the delegates TO counsel the
men to keep within bounds OF the law. The
next resolution adopted criticised Capt.
Loar severely, stating: "Loar is mean
and INSCRIPTIONS, as was evidenced by ms
barbarious actions toward the working
men recently.
The financial condition of the order was
then reviewed, which showed that over

AssAILED THE CHURCH.
An Aged Preacher Mobbed While De-
nouncIng Catholicism in a Lecture.


ST. LOUIS, April l1.-Rev. j. G. White,
whose aim in life appears to be to antago-
nize the Roman Catholic Church, was
mobbed in South St. Louis last night. Mr..
White has been lecturing TO men about the
terrible depravity existing in the confes-
sional. and has made some frightful charges
against the Catholic church. He tried to
get the ministers oSsne city to unite in an
attempt to keep 60 So0lics out of Office, and
circulated a X .w-Nothing circular with
that view. rs IS of the Times Relative
to Romanism in America" " was the subject
that he lectured on at Temperance Hall last
evening.
The little tabernacle was densely packed
with ladies and gentlemen, who came TO
hear the reverend gentleman condemn the
Roman Catholic belief. Mr.. White began
showing how the Catholics were contriving
to run politics. He condemned converts,
and this strain was kept up 10 about .
o'clock, when suddenly large crowd OF
men and bows rushed into the hall and be-
gan throwing rocks and aged eggs at the
speaker Some of the crowd yelled out:
"Hang hint Hang himW
The audience rose TO their feet and made
a grand rush for the door Ladies tainted
and men cliuched each other in their vain
efforts to get out During this time per
feet fusilade of stones, eggs, etc, was
thrown at the long, white haired preacher.
For five minutes pandemonium reigned su-
preme. In a few minutes Police Sergeant
New and four patrolmen were searching
the neighborhood for the disturbers, but
they had fled as quickly and as quietly as
if the earth had opened up and swallowed
them.
After quiet and peace had been restored
Mr.. White said: II will relate what |
know concerning Romanism until death
claims me. | am not afraid of such ruff
ans. and although - years of age, l can
take care of myself" He then continued
on with his lecture without further moles
tatiOn.

AL SKI A BONANZA,
And Not sterile, Deserted Country, az
Reported.


PIrrsBuRG April 1.-The Alaskan Sig
nal Service may be enlarged. Gen. Greely
is favOrably impressed with the value of
increasing the efficiency of the service in
that northern territory. Prof. Samuel
Packard, who Ii IS charge of the Alaskan
Station. passed through Pittsburg on his
way from Wash ngton to Chicago. Next
summer, when navigation opens, he will
return TO Alaska
Professor PACK ard said this morning :;
THE station at Mt. Union Ska has been
established for two years, and has been OF
great servive in determining Northern eli
matte phenomena. | understand that an
observatory is to be erected in connection
with the signal station. The Government
proposes to enlarge the service in Alaska,
and believe that valuable results will ac-
crue from this policy
Professor Packard spoke also Of the
people of Alaska He said:
THE Alaskans have been so greatly neg
| lected by the government and the people of
\ the United States that they hardly regard
| themselves as citizens of this country.
Russian is the popular language for inter
course. and from Siberia emanates most of
the news Of the world that the people there
hear There are not more than twelve reg
ular steamer voyages m Ide 10 Alaska from
the United States in a year. The people,
therefore, depend mainly upon whaling
vessels for news from the mother country.
ALASKA has been regarded (and is to-
day. as a sort of white elephant. The peo-
pie in the United States are making a most
extraordinary mistake. Alaska to-day is
richer in minerals than any part of the
| United States. The iron aud copper de-
posits there are simply wonderful: gold is
also found in quantities which indicate
that if the proper mining operations were
pursued the profit would be large. Alaska

SIX HOURS GAINED
BY the Sea Post Mail Between the United
States and Germany.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE recent new
departure in the ocean mail service is de-
cided success. Postmaster General Wana-
maker received this morning the following
telegram from Postmaster VanCott, of New
York
"Sea post mail, per Havel, arrived at
80 a. m. City mail delivered :45. Con
nectons made of distribution mails with 10
a. m. trains-a gain of at least six hours.
Sea post appears to be success"
The steamer Havel came in yesterday,
being the first American ocean steamship
to arrive under the new postal arrange
ment between Germany aud the United
States.
There were eighty-five sacks Of mail on
board the Havel, containing $500 letters
The mail was made up exactly as II would
have been on a postal car-sorted, back
stamped and tied in separate packages for
the different States and large cities. This
mail arrived in time for the morning
through mail for Chicago and the West.
Under the old system il could not have
been dispatched until 10 o'clockin the even
ing The mail for New York city was be
ing delivered by the carriers before .
o'clock
The postal clerks on board the Havel
were p. b. Hoffman for this country, and
Herr Gallnitz for Germany. The latter
clerk had never been at sea before, and the
rough weather which the vessel encoun-
tered on Friday was too much for the Ger
man. but by working overtime the mail was
finally made up in good season.
The system is pronounced success by
the Postoffice officials, and Postmaster
General Wanamaker is highly pleased at
the result. He has now stronger hopes
than ever that this first encouragement
will lead to the speedy adoption of the
plan by other countries. II will be re
membered that France and England were
asked to enter into the agreement for the
adoption of the new system, but refused
These countries are, there ore, excluded
from the benefits accruing, aud their mail
which came over in the Havel was obliged
TO await its asserting in the New York
office, as under the old system, and con-
sequently it was not dispatched until near
ly twelve hours after the German mail.

secretly Slipped to Missouri Jail.

ST LOUIS, April 11.-Willis Howard, the
notorious Kentucky outlaw, who gained a
national reputation through his connection
with the famous Howard Turner Bailey

with killing at least twenty-one men, was
removed secretly from Jail to o-night, where

Hearing Of this, the Jailer at the Four
Courts announced that Howard would not
be started for Maries until this morning

night train, ironed and chained TO a seat.
Six desperate-looking men, wearing
slouch hats, boarded the train at the same
time. and il is feared an attempt will yet
