Republican Gains in wis oonsin.

MILWAUKEE,, April 6.-With only
three unimportant precihts to hear from,
Somers, Democrat, for mayor, is elected
by 5000 majority, which is a Republican
gain Of about 1000 over 1890. Sparta,
Amigo, Appleton, Chiffon, Manitowoc,
Keewanee, Neenah, Mensha, Marinette,
elect pretty much all the Democratic
ticket. Viroqpa, Lancaster, Medford
and Black River Falls are Republican.
ASHLAND, Wis, April 6.-Durfee, Re-
publican, was elected mayor yesterday
by 400 majority.

CHICAGO, April 6.-The returns on
the contest for aldermen from the vari-
GUS wards show the election of 20 Re-
publicans, II Democrats and 8 Indepen-
dents. According to these returns the
next council will contain 33 Republicans,
32 Democrats and 8 Independents, the
latter practically affiliating with the
Democrats.
In most Of the towns in the state local
issues formed the bone of contention,
and party lines were forgotten. A large
number of women voted at the school
elections throughout the state. In all
cases separate ballots and boxes were
provided for them, and shey were very
enthusiastic over their new privilege.
For the second time in it's history,
Springfield, the Illinois capital, has given
a Republican victory. The Republicans
elect five out Of seven members of the
council, which, with three hold-overs,
gives them majority of six. The may
or, who holds over, is also a Republican.
In the township elections, on the
whole, the Republicans are victorious.
In some of the districts the labor men
were successful, and those places which
usually give Democratic majorities do SO
this year, but Republican candidates
were elected in far more than half Of the
townships. The vote in this city was
generally heavy, but it is impossible to
tell anything Of the political complexion
of the election.

PROVIDENCE, April AT 1910 this
morning, returns from all over the state
are not all in, owing to the tedious
counting necessary under the Australian
system. Returns at hand are sufficient
to indicate no election for. state officers,
with a probability of a Republican plu-
rality. A sufficient number of Republi-
cans are returned up to this hour to in
sure the election of Senator Aldrich
to the United States Senate and
the choice of the Republican candidates
for state officers. Newport probably
elects but one representative, and will re-
quire another election to determine the
choice for the other four. 1t requires "a
members of the legislature to
elect on joint ballot, and the
Republicans at present have 81, with
every probability of having elected six
more. Providence went Democratic by
about 400 majority. The city assembly
ticket is in doubt. Pawtucket was car
ried by the Democrats by about 100 and
Woonsocket by little less. The Demo-
Gratis elect the assembly ticket in Woon-
socket by 30 The Pawtucket assembly
ticket is in doubt. The vote polled was
the largest in the history of the state and
the result is a surprise to everybody and
shows several thousand people in the
state whom the party managers can
never locate. -.

Ingenious Robbery by the Employees of a
New York Firm.

NEW York, April 6.-Dix & Phyfe,
bankers, Wall street, reported to Inspec-
tor Byrnes last Monday that Oscar

money and absconded. The boy disap-
peared last Saturday. 1t was discovered
that he made away with c. B. & @. first
mortgage bonds valued at $4,000. In
vestigation by the detectives showed
that Dreamer had been stealing from the
firm for some time. He turned his steal
ings over to w. q. Carpenter, who has
been in the firms employ for 16 years.

cerned in the scheme to rob the firm. By
means of forged letter of Introduction,
the Park National bank. He deposited
several checks to which were forged the
names of Dix & Phyfe, amounting to-
about $4,000. Creamer is supposed to

the cellar at that place, the detectives

about $4,000 between them. Carpenter
was to send them their share of the
stealings as soon as he heard from them.

amount of loss at present, as the books
were torn and disfgured by Dreamer.

Sir Georges Ideas.

LIVERPOOL, April Cat a meeting
here this evening, Sir George Baden-Po ow-
ell said he had rough time in America,
although in Lord Salisbury he had an in
tellect behind him superior to that OF
any man in America. Mr.. Blaine was
one of the ablest men America had pro-
duced. Mr. Blaine had acted straight in
all the Behring sea negotiations. He
had agreed to submit to arbitration the
only dispute that could ever create bad
blood between America and England. INC
Sir George thought the adoption, OF this n
method for the adjustment of the diff
Guilty would establish precedent for the
settlement of fishery disputes with other
nations.

NEWPORT, R. l., April 6.-The state
election in this city has been hot fight.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, April 6.-At Fargo,
Oak, Freeman II. Smith, the Citizens
Reform candidate, was elected mayor by
254 majority over the Republican candi-
date. The Republicans elected five of
six aldermen. The contest for mayor is
claimed to be prelude to the contest on
state officers, the successful ticket being
alleged to represent combination of
Republicans and Democrats who propose
to defeat the reelection of Gov. Burke,
as well as the state and county Republi-
can tickets.
At Grand Ealls, N. D.. the result was a

The Trouble in Venezuela.

New YORK., April Ga Caracas, Vene-
zuela, special to the Herald says that an
other plot against the life of President
Palacio has been discovered. Owing to
the prompt action of the police it is be-
lieved that all danger for the time being
is averted. The guards around the Yel-
low House, or Casa Amarillo, have been
redoubled. Every possible precaution
has been taken to protect the Presidents
life. General Crespo, the leader of the
insurgents, continues to receive adhe-
sions to his ranks from all parts of the
republic. Among his forces there are
many of the best fighting material of the
country. With even numbers any con-
flict between his men and the govern
ment forces would to certainty result
in triumph for the former. Reports
from the different states indicate the
rapid growth of the insurrection. Bar
ouesimeto, Coro, Los Andes and zulia
have declared for Crespo. Other states,
it is believed, will follow their example.

PARIS, April 6.-Another dynamite
outrage is reported today at Anglers,
fourishing manufacturing city in the de-
partment of Maine-et-Loire, and about
100 miles from Paris. The Anarchists
have been very active of late spreading
their principles among the factory peo-
pie of Anglers, as in other manufactur-
ing cities of France, and the police have
shown great energy in searching for sus-
pected dynamiters. For several days the
chief of police of Anglers has been in re-
ceipt of threats and warnings more or
less yelled as to the vengeance that
would be taken if he continued his per-
scouting tactics. To these he paid no at
tention, as he did not believe the An
archists would dare to commit any Sc
rious outrage This confidence, howev-
er, was shown to be i'll founded by the
occurrence reported today A bomb full
ly as destructive as any used in the Paris
outrages was placed outside OF and close
to the police Office. Several policemen
were in the building at the time when
the explosion occurred. The concussion
was frightful, knocking the men off their
feet and stunning them into momentary
Inconsistencies. When the police re-
covered from the shock two or three of
them were bleeding severely from
wounds and the police Office was scene
of ruin Windows and doors were
smashed in, furniture broken and the
walls more or less damaged by the pow
erful explosive. The noise was heard
for long distance and a multitude of
people gathered at the scene. Two men
dressed in working attire had been seen
lettering near the police station few
minutes before the explosion.

ranging from 200 to 300. Mayor Shep-
