CHICAGO A MECCA.
Tramps, Paupers, Cripples and
Criminals of All Sorts Flock
ing to the Windy City.
Many Counties Making the City a
Dumping Ground for Their
Faupers.

CHICAGO, Nov. 30.-Tramps, vaga-
bonds, paupers, manned and crippled
beggars and sunken-eyed women with
hungry children are iocking to Chicago
in hundreds. Some of them are Grim
inals by choice and some by direct ne
cesSity. They come-men, women and
children-like the mighty vanguard of
the sightseeing army soon to visit the
worlds fair. No blare of trumpets
heralds their approach. There is no
gaa-day parade for them. Like a
deadly, infectious disease, they creep
silently, inSidiously into our midst.
Every daybreak sees them getting
closer to the heart of public morals
and personal safety. Every road lead
to Chicago is lined with them; they
come in The night by railroad, steam
boat and peddIer's wagon. Fabulous
stories of the opportunities which the
worlds fair year will offer nave come to
their ears. and they are Fastening to the
new FL Dorado.
Chicago has become the veritable
dumping ground for the otfScourings Of
all humanity. IT has been found that
the commissioners of poor III other
cities, realizing this fact, have been
furnishing transportation to Chicago
for many of their paupers. Ohio and
Indiana are foremost i'll assisting the
immigration of Improbable citizens.
Women of all ages and conditions
women trampS and women peddlerS
and beggarS-are coming in unusual
numbers.
Raised but one step above these are
the small army of people who have
come to Chicago expecting large wages
and short hours. Disappointed III OBJ
tanning the employment they sought,
they have rapidly spent all their money,
and are seeking charity at the hands OF
the county and benevolent institutions.
The Home of the FriendleSS is over
crowded with inmates. The county
agent daily turns away many applicants
who, owing to the lack of a fixed resi-
dence in Chicago, are entitled to no as
SiStance. The police stations nightly
accommodate numbers OF Seml-crlmi-
mails who have no other place to sleep.
The German benevolent societies are
overcrowded with applicants, and can
do no more.
In the opinion of the police the cpl
demic of crime which is now sweeping
over the city is directly connected with
the great influx of trampS and paupers.
They have already begun to ply their
nefariOus calling. The advance OF cold
weather has doubtless been further
incentive. The records of all the police
courts show surprisingly large num-
Der of criminals whose faces are un-
known in the Chicago rogues' gallery.
There has, according to the statement
of an old officer, never been SO much
trouble in identifying and recognizing
thugs, pickpockets and highwaymen.
They account for this by the fact that
there is steady immigration in large
numbers of the criminal classes from
other cities.

JAY GOULD ILL.
The Wizard of Wall Street Too
Sick to- Leave His
Home.
Great Anxiety Over His Condition
Among the Members Of His
Family.

New YORK, Nov 80. 49, The story
reached Wall street that Jay Gould was
dead. 1t was promptly denied, but
it was admitted at his Office that
he was too sick to leave his
house. Western Union, Manhattan,
Union Pacific, Missouri Pacific and
other Gould stocks went down. When
asked about the condition of his father,
Edwin Gould said.
Mr.. Gould is confined to his bed and
has not improved as we expected him
to-"
ellis departure for the South. then,
will depend on the decision OF his ply
sicians?"
Yes, no definite arrangements have
been made for his trip"
1t was said in Wall street that Mr..
Gould had hemOrrhage of the lungs.
1t was said that ne was suffering from
nothing more serious than bilious at
tack.
At a late hour tonight Jay Gould's
condition was practically unchanged.
He rested a little easier today than
Tuesday. but is very weak, and there
is great deal OF anxiety over his condI-
ton by the members of bis family.

CABINET GOSSIP.
Fairchild Said to Be Booked for a

New YORK, Nov. 3O.-A morning pa
per says: MIR. Fairchlld is to go into the
cabinet again, and he will be the only
member of the cabinet from the Empire
state. Mr.. Whitney will not go into the
cabinet, and, while there has been talk
that Col. Dan S. Lamont might be Secre-
tary of the interior, it is understood that
he has not yet been able to see his way
clear to abandoning his interests in this
city.
LAS a matter of fact" said close
friend of Mr.. Whitney, There has got
TO be member of the cabinet from New
England, Illinois and Wisconsin. These
are doubtful states and have to be looked
after. Ohio certainly deserves some
announcement and Indiana surely looks
for a place. The South will want at
least two cabinet positions, but will
only get one, and | think Mr.. Harrity
will go into the cabinet from Pennsyl-
vania. That about fills all the holes,
yet the states between the Missouri and
the Rocky mountains should have some
recognition and so should the Pacific
coast. In view of all this" concluded
Mr.. Whitney's friend, 81 think the
treasury portfolio the only one to go to
the Empire State"

ALLEN is SATISFIED.
North Dakota Is Booming in a
Healthy Way.


Gen. Harrison Allen and Mai. Ed
wards, of the Fargo Forum, headed a
North Dakota delegation in st. Paul
yesterday. Gen. Allen left on an even
ing train for Chicago and the East, where
he will remain for several weeks on
business while Maj. Edwards will fig
ure on the senatorial contest in North
Dakota from the safe vantage ground of
the Merchants for the next few DAYS.
Gen. Allen is enthusiastic over
the condition of things in North
Dakota, and is not one of
those who believes that North Dakota
is sure TO go to the demnition boW-WoWs
because Farmer Shotridge was elected
governor.
'Ihe price of wheat is too low to
make the farmers feel happy" said
Gen. Allen. 'Dut they are in good con-
ditlOn to feel so if we get a fair crop
next year. The threshng was out Of
the way in good season, and a vast
amount of blowing for next years crop
has been done-more than ever known
before. You know the wet weather a
year ago prevented blowing, and so had a
bad influence on this years crop. Both
Fargo and Grand Forks are thriving.
Business is good in both. In Fargo
there IS not an empty house, and a solid
and conservative growth seems to be
going on. Grand Forks is a beautiful
town, with many blocks and buildings

NOT BEFORE OCTOBER.
congressman Believe No Early
Extra Session Will Be Called.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 30.-The belief is
growing among congressman and sena-
tors in this city that if an extra session
is to be held at all 1t will not be called
at the early part of the year 1898. Even
those favoring an extra session are
gradually forming the opinion that it
will not begin sooner than Oct. next,
and will practically form part OF the
regular session, which will open, ac-
cording to law, on the first Monday in
December.
Officeholders under the Republican
senate are naturally somewhat anxious
as to the political complexion of that
body ill the Fifty-third congress, and
some of them are still figuring upon a
possible Republican majority. They are
claiming 43 Democrats and Populists
and 45 Republicans. More reliable
figures, however, appear to be 43 Demo
Gratis, al Republicans and PopulistS,
wEo will probably act with the Demo
Gratis.

the formal demand He claims the Aus

took place. is unconstitutional, because
it prevents free and untramm2led
ballot. Electors cannot vote for any
one they please, but must be bound by
the decree of one of four parties. This
is clearly unconstitutional according to
his view. The governor referred the
matter to the attorney general, but
nothing can be done, and Mr.. Wasson's
only hope is to mandamus the secretary
Of state. He says he will axe the case
to the supreme court and fight it out.

the entire estate was devised to him.
Mrs. Freeman was not then living
with her father, and, though she
attempted to secure a footing in court,
failed to do so through the fault OF her
lawyer. Since the estate has been dis

have passed into the hands of people
who have paid value for them, without

state at the present time may result In
drastic legislation. although strong
effort will be made to prevent any in
reference with railroads, for fear of its
interfering with developments in that
line next year. There is a strong de-
mand for changes in the revenue law,
which will compel telegraph, telephone
and express companies TO bear more
equal share of the burden of taxation
than they do under the law as it is at
present. The Independents may also
bring up the usury question again, but
