says: Hon. James E.Boyd of Nebraska,
who is here attending his fathers funeral,
states to old friends that there is very
little hope of decision of the Supreme
Court relieving him of his disability and
putting him in the Gubernatorial chair by
reversing the decision OF the Nebraska
Supreme Court. He thought, mo reover,
that the Act making the Territory OF
Nebraska a State, with a provision that
all residents should become citizens,
would have no light against the statutes
of the United States on what it constitutes
citizenship. He says he never suspected
his father was not a naturalized citizen

TENDING TO DEMOCRACY.
Significance Of Cardinal LaTiSsfie'S Toast
at AlgieFS.

ROME, April 6. - Cardinal Levigerie's
toast at Algiers and the events which rap
idly followed that striking utterance are
still much discussed in church circles
Everything clearly indicates decided drift
# the Catholic Church toward modern
democracy. These who have enjoyed the
confidence of Pope Leo know that he has
always considered it of prime importance
for the church TO free itself from identifica-
tion with the old dynastic parties, but that
it was necessary to move slowly so as to
wound the royalist and aristocratic suscep-
tibilIties as little as possible
In all countries the Pope has favorite
correspondents upon whose advice he places
special relia and who are charged with
carrying out his personal policy. Cardinal
Lavigerie is one Of these, and when on
October 9th last Cardinal Lavigerie arrived
in Rome, Pope Leo charged him personally
with the important religious ana political
mission OF bringing the church in France
into harmony with the republic.
lavlgerie's speech brought a storm OF let
teTs to the Vatican; all France grew excited.
While the idea OF the text was suggested aud
approved by the Vatican. the form it took
was not sat atsfact0ry. The ardent Primate
of~Africa went somewhat beyond bounds.
He attacked the old parties and taunted
them with having been in alliance with
Bouangism.
But this vigorous language had It's good
side. 1t made all France understand nm
mistakably that the church intended to
break with the past. Th+re was no more
equiyOcal meaning. The Pope said with re-
gard 10 this: The Cardinal has done right.
1t was necessary to strike great blow in
order to get cut OF this condition of hesitancy
and confusion" A letter Of Cardinal Ramp
ola to the Bishop Of Tours repeated in a
gentler form the advice given in AL
giers. The support of the whole Episco-
pal body shows that the work has been
successful. 1t Will come to pass in spite of
the opposition and passion OF parties. The
Pope sees that the future belongs TO the
Democracy. He is convinced that the
United States will furnish the form for the
conversion Of European society as well as
ecclesiastic questions. He believes sincerely
that Europe is marching toward Democracy
with Republican institutions as the predes-
tined goal. In his character as PoniIff he dare
not say so, but Cardinal Lavgerie's ad-
dress was the echo of close conversations
wiki Leo. The observations which have
reached the Vatican from the courts are
proof that prophetic voice has been heard
and statesmen are warned.

FIVE CANDIDATES.
A Peculiar and Holly Con-
tested Campaign.
Complicated and Bitter Struggle for the
MayOralty Of Chicago.
Bad Break In the Democratic RankS-A
Close Race Predicted Between -Four
Of the Nominees.
Special to THE MORNING CALI.

CHICAGO, April 6.-The municipal cleo
ton tomorrow will close one of the most
peculiar and hotly contested campaigns in
Chicago. No less than five candidates are
making a contest for the Mayoralty. and
as between four of these it is impossible
to forecast the result. The friends Of each,
in all apparent candor. claim about the
same number of votes-55.000 to 10000
for their respective favorte.
The first candidate in the field was Elmer
Washburn, ex-Chief of Police and ex-Chief
of the United States Secret Service Bureau.
lie was put in nomination prior to the reg
ular party conventions, Ostensibly by the
independent citizens movement, but it is
understood his chief support, primarily.
came from secret organization whose Oh
jeCt is 10 minimize the influence of foreign
elements in the city administration, and
which claims to have 25,000 voters in its
ranks. The argument in favor Of its con-
didate is the necessity, in view of the ap-
proaeh of the Worlds Fair, of putting the
city into a condition as to clean streets and
other public improvements that visitors
from well-kept cities of Europe will net be
shocked, and 10 render the police force so
efficient that thieves, gamblers and other
criminal classes will not dare flock TO the
city in anticipation of a rich harvest The
saloons, also, are to be vigorously looked
after.
There are two Democratic candidates
Dewitt e. Crieger, the incumbent, and
Carter II. Harrison, ex-Mayor. Harrison
began his canvass before the Democratic
Convention met, alleging weakness and ca
tering to bad elements on tie part of the eX-
listing administration and promising reforms.
The fight at the primaries was brter. and at
the convention Harrison's men, accusing the
Cregierites of fraud, withdrew and nomi-
mated their man. The remainder Of the
Democratic delegates nominated Cregier.
The State Central Committee took the mat
ter up and decided that Cregier was the reg
ular nominee. In the meantime Harrison
received the Endorsement OF the Personal
Rights League. a body made mp largely of
Germans and lie continued in the field, max
ing vigorous canvass.
Then the Republicans met and nominated

how much of Elmer Washburne's strength

TIE NEXT CAMPAIGN.
Senator EdmuHdS Gives His Views on
the Political Outlook.

WASHINGTON, April lG-The Star this
evening has a long interview with Senator
Edmunds on the general political situation.
Speaking of the Farmers Alliance move
ment, the Senator said that some people are
trying to persuade the farmers that laws
have been made which operate uniustly
upon them and that laws have not been
made that would furnish them with more
rapid and steady prosperity. He thinks
they are to a large degree mistaken and in
time will discover it. Indeed he presumes
the largest part of rejecting farmers under
stand that crops cannot be increased by
legislation or debts honestly paid by cheap
ening what is called money"
The Senator said that if in the next Presi-
dental election the Farmers Alliance
should carry Ill any States without having
majority of the Electoral College there
would be no election by the people, and the
present House of REPRESENTATIVES being
largely Democratic that party would elect
its candidate. As to the danger of the Re-
publican party, it is that the Alliance may
carry some STATES that would otherwise 60
Republican, and thus, if there was no cleo
tion by the people, give the election to the
Democratic candidate.
When asked If he thought silver will be
the issue IN the next campaign the Senator
did not think 1t would be the issue between
lHb htHuuLcdi anu DcluOcTbuC pdTlieS lOT
he thin ks the Democratic party will hardly
wish to make 1t an issue 10 the extent of
running any considerable risk of separating
gold and silver as the coin money of the
country, aud certainly the great body of
Republicans will not. Up to the point OF
safety the Republican party will be in favor
of using silver as money as it always has
been.
What the Farmers Alliance platform, If
that party should nominate Presidential
candidate, will be he could not say. 1.-The
third party movement" continued Senator
Edmunds, ''undoubtedly exists in the
Farmers Alliance. II successful to the ex-
tent of getting the President and Congress
it would doubtless lead to the enactment of
the measures they have indicated. and
whether they were good or bad for the
farmers would soon be known"
The Senator did not think communism
was at the bottom Of the farmers move
ment, and added that the percentage of
communists in this country he believed to be
very small, as capital is always anxiously
watching the conditions of the Government
of The cou ntry, and the success of any Gov
ernmeDt which would render unsouud legis-
lation probable would greatly disturb the
finances of the country, and that, of course,
would reach every branch of labor and

pied as tea and coffee store, millinery

dence by E. J. Keene aud an Italian family,

fire in the millineTy-store. Only two were
recognized. They are Mr. Keene and his
son.
One hundred and fifty thousand dollars in
gold, supposed to have belonged to the
Italians, was found in the ruins. The con-
clusi0n is that the Italians became confused

their lives.

large frame building occupied as dwelling
and stores. 1t started in the kitchen of
Keene'S residence, and he and his son
Waltei were sutfOcated by smoke.
A number OF Italians occupying rooms In
the upper portion of the building were
burned to death, excepting one of them,

by leaping IRON window. Marie Teccho,
who escaped, says she tried to arouse her
people. but they were already aspbyxi-
ated She staid until the fire burned her,
and she was compelled to jump for her life.
All the bodies have been recovered. The
list Of the dead is as follows: c. J. Keene
and son. Baptiste Tecchio and Annie, his
wife; their three children, Annie, Yosef
and Rosa; Victorio TecclIo, brother of
Baptiste. and Joseph Raema, a boarder 1t

force was well inside the trap laid for it the
Haiku Chins suddenly opened fire upon the
soldiers, instantly killing Lieutenant Forbes
and five men, and stretching eleven others
severely wounded upon the ground. The
column however, returned the enemy'5 fire
with such effect that the British force was
enabled to retreat from the dangerous posi-
tion into which it had been led, and thus es-
capped total annihilation.
