DEMOCRATS WILL WIN.
The Connecticut Supreme Court
Makes an Important Decision.


Makes an Important Decision.
New HAVEN, Conn.,, June 3.-The
decision of the supreme court in the suit
of G. Wilbur Fields VS.. Sidney j. Os-
borne ct al, better known as the con-
tested Branford case, was announced
this morning, and with the announce
ment was filed the written opinion
of the court. The opinion was written
by Judge Seymour (Demoerat), and con-
Cured in throughout by Judges Carpen-
ter and Loomis. Chief Justice Andrews
and Judge Torrance concur in the
Judgment which advises that plaintiff
was not elected selectman of Branford
and diSmiSSeS his petition which prayed
that he be declared elected but on the
other parts of the opinion they non-con-
Cured because they felt bound by the
case of Talcott VS.. Philbrick, and did
not intend to change or modify what
was said by them i'll their dissenting
opinion in that case. The decision is of
the greatest Importance, and has been
awaited with anxiety. 1t involved the
opinion of the court on the question of
the legality of so-called ''for" ballots,
which question is first and foremost in
the disputed gubernatOrial controversy,
and judicial opinion of which prac-
tically decides the governOrship and is
favorable to the Democrats.
The decision called for construction
of those provisions of the secret ballot
act which prescribed that the ballots
should contain nothing on them but the
names of the candidates for office and
the Office voted for. and the name of
the party issuing them. The court de-
cides on other grounds than on
the question of the legality
or illegality of the ''for" ballots,
but with regard to those ballots says
that under the circumstances the ''for''
ballots might be legal. The nature of
the opinion is favorable to the Demo-
Gratis in the gubernatorial controversy.
The court decided another important
matter. viz, What is legal political
party?'' The so-called Citizens party
issued the for ballot. The legal ex-
istence of citizens party is defined by
the court as follows: The element of
time is not essential to the formation of
illegal party. 1t may spring into exist
ence from the exigencies of particular
election, and with no intention of con-
tInuIng after the eXigency has passed.
To hold to the contrary would be to
strikes blow at that independence in
political action upon which the good
government of locality may depend.
Nor can the number of voters that must
unite in order to form a legal party be
prescribed by law without violating one
of the fundamental theories of popular
government

Illinois Legislators Act Like Co

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, June San ex
traordinary scene of wild confusion and
eXcitemen was witnessed in the lower
house of the general assembly this aft
ernoon when the worlds fair bill,
which, as passed by the senate, ap-
propriated 100000 for Illinois ex-
hibit was acted upon. Efforts to re-
duce the appropriation to 100000 or
100000 were successfully defeated
but on a motion fixing the amount at
S750,G00 it was apparel that the vote
would be nearly tie. Then
Speaker Crafts Dem.) voted for the
amendment, and, ignoring Republican
member who wished to change and vote
in favor of the bill, hurriedly an
nOunced that the vote had been closed.
Then the house became a bedlam of
shrieking. disappearing and hurrahing
men, while Crafts coolly declared the
rs yeas to 70 nays. In the face of a ter
rife storm of protest the speaker
would listen only to motion to adjourn,
and calmly declared the motion carried.
The members were now yelling and
running about like so many COmancheS.
Half dozen made rush for the speak
er to drag the ''czar," as they called
him, from the chair, but were
fOrcibly held back by his
friends. More than one legislator
reached for his revolver and a riot
seemed inevitable. McInerney, of Chi
cago Oem.h at this moment jumped to
the speakers stand and shouting "we'lI
reconsider it Tomorrow" finally sue
ceeded in bringing about truce. 1t is
expected that another outbreak will
take place tomorrow.

AS TO IMMIGRANTS.
Steamship Companies Requested
to Be More Careful.

to Be More Careful.
WASHINGTON, June 3.-The plan pre-
pared by Assistant Secretary Nettleton
for restricting pauper immigration into
the United States has been sub
mitted to the president and ap-
proved, and was to-day embodied
in a circular letter and sent to all
steamship companies bringing emf
grants to this country. The circular,
after reciting the laws designed to regu-
late immigration, says: The evident
disposition of many steamship lines,
under the pressure of sharp competi-
ton, to gather up in Europe and bring
to the United States all who, with
or without the 4aid OF others, can
pay the now triflIng cost of a Storage
passage, regardless of their character or
condition and regardless of our laws,
compels on the part of this government
a closer scrutiny and the adoption of
more comprehensive measures than
have hitherto seemed necessary. While
it is the purpose of the govern
meut TO enforce these statutes
in their letter and spirit at
every port of the United States and
along The international boundaries, it is
desired that as little discomfort as Dos
sible result to persons affected by the
immigration laws. With this view it is
important that persons of the prohibited
classes be prevented from leaving their
homes and crossing the sea,
only to be sent back on their

said the witness, Sir William licked
another counter over the line with his
pencil. When the disclosures were
made the Prince of Wales questioned
the witness, Berkeley LeYett and Ly-
cett Green III regard to what they had
seen of wrong nature during the play
ing, and Mr.. Green asked to be con-
frOnted with the plaintiff. Replying to
further questions, Mr.. Wilson said that
from the time he had signed the preciS
until the action for damages brought
against the defendants was commenced,
he had never said anything to anybody
in connection with the affair. The wit
ness said he had no occupation, and that
he had been at Cambridge university for
a year; but" he added, my father
thought it only waste of time by stay
ing there" ROars of laughter at Mr.
Wilson'S expense followed this adj
mission. In answer to further
questions, Mr.. Wilson said that baccarat
was played at Tranbycroft in 1889, but
father objected to it and it was not
played there again until upon the occa-
sion of the Prince of Wales visit i'll
September, 1890"
The cross-eXamination of Mr.. Wilson
was a process of some length, but Sir
Edward Clarke. who conducted it, only
succeeded in scoring an occasional sue
cessful upsetting of any of the facts de
tailed in the original story told by the
witness. The minor points brought out
by Sir Charles Russell were repeated
during the cross-examination, Mr.. Will
son repeating his testimony as TO the
cheating with the greatest of GOODNESS
and unconcern, and, leaning on the rail
of the witness box, he gave an ilIustra-
ton of the manner in which several acts
attributed to the plaintiff were done.
Mr.. Wilson's crosS-eXamination was not
finished when the court adjourned until
tomorrow.

"The Transitions attributes of trade centers
is wonderful" said W. W Braden, of the
Great Northern land department. yesterdays
81 remember, for instance, when Third street
was the real business street of ST. Paul. Now
it is surpassed by several other streets; and
Jackson street used to be the only promising.
thoroughfare towards the north but it is now
superseded by Robert and Wabasha streets.
1t is my opinion that Robert street, although
Wabasha has the start at this time, is des-
tined to outrank all the others some day. A
big block should be located on the corner OPP
posite the Ryan for general stores aad Offices.
1t would prove great impetus to that street.

dence of the intervening streets-MinnesotB
