The Decision of the Supreme Court
Favorable to the City.

OLYMPIA, April Especial. THE su-
preme court today rendered a decision in
the Seattle charter case of Weisenthal VS..
Denny ct al, affirming the decision of
Judge Lichtenberg of the superior court of
King county. The opinion. which has
not yet been filed, discusses the questions
involved at length. The court decides
that ell the steps necessary to submit the
amendments to the charter were taken by
the city authorities; that said amend
Inents were duly carried and that Wiesen-
thai is not entitled to a seat as delegate,
the membership of the house of delegates
having been legally reduced
This was suit instituted by Wiesenthal, who
received the second highest number OF votes for
delegate from the Third ward in the recent city
ELECTION, and who would have been entitled to a
seat in the house If the charter amendment
voted upon at the election of March had been
declared invalid. He set up that the amend
ment in question had not been properly passed
by the council; that it had been materially
changed at the time of its second submission to
the council, and that all the amendments
failed to receive majority OF
all the votes cast at the election.
Although the contention was aimed prirci pally
against the amendment reducing ths number Of
delegates from eighteen TO nine, it incidentally
questioned the validity of all the amendments.
Until the opinion, which has not yet bsaa flied,
is received, il cannot be known whether the
court sustains all the amendments on all points
OF controversy, but it settles the number of dele
gates sad insures the immediate valuation Of
the house az at present constituted

PROVIDENCE, r. l., April AT l2:40
o'clock this morning the returns from all
over the state are not in, owing to the
tedious counting necessary under the
Australian system. The returns at
hand are sufficient, however, to
indicate that there is no election for state
officers. with probability of Republican
plurality. The state law requires a major
lty vote to elect. and thsre are sufficient
number of Republicans returned up to
this hour to secure the reelection of Sem
ator Aldrich to the United States Senate
and the choice of the Repubublican candi-
dates for state officers. Newport probably
elected but one representative, and it will
require another election to determine the
choice of the other four.
1t requires fifty-four members of the
legislature to elect on joint ballot, and the
Republicans have at present fifty-one,
with every probability of six more. Provi-
dence went Democratic by about 1000 ma
jority, but the city assembly is in doubt.
The Democrats by about 100 majority
carried Woonsocket. The Democratic as
sembly ticket in Woonsocket is elected
by 80, but the Pawtucket assembly ticket
is in doubt. The vote polled was the
largest in the history of the state. The
result is surprise to everybody and shows
that there are several thousand people in
the state whom the party managers can
never locate.
1.-THE campaign in Rhode Island has been the

BANK ROBBERY SCHEME.
Clerk and Three Confederetes Stes
S53,OOO and Hide 1t In an Astheap.

New York. April GA systematic rob-
berry of the banking house of DIX & Phyfe.
81 Wall street, by employees,
was unearthed today. The loss
by the peculations aggregates
$685. Oscar Creamer, a clerk in the
bank and a resident of Brook
lyn, during the absence of the
chief bookkeeper, is said to
have stolen $4,000 worth of
Chicago burlington & Quincy railroad
bonds. Detectives have discovered that
Creemer, who is but 10 years of age, con-
spired with William Carpenter and an
other young clerk in the bank to rob the
firm.
James T. White, another of the con-
spirators, was introduced at the Park
National bank by false letter of
Introduction purporting to come from
Dix & Phyfe, and he opened ali account
there, beginning with deposit of 5000
on March s. Subsequently he deposited
at different times $l4,70O. 50, $50,
$767Gl and $40. These deposits were
mainly in checks purporting TO be from
Dix & Phyfe, drawn payable to cash, and
with the firms signature of Dix & Phyfe
forged. On April White drew check for
Sl,CD3 against his account, and two days
later another check for 10000. leaving a
balance in the bank Of about 81, 900.
Carpenter was arrested yesterday and
confessed that Creamer had been stealing
from the firm. The regular bookkeeper
was expected home shortly and he
said that Creamer wanted to get hold Of as
much money as he could before that time.
1t was arranged between them that Carpen-
ter should have the custody of the
money. He told Inspector Byrnes that it
was ali buried in cellar at 447 Quincy
street. Brooklyn. Yesterday the de-
tectiyes went over to the address
he gave them, and after searching
about found hidden in pile of ashes in
the cellar the following securities: s2l.-
900 first mortgage bonds of the Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy. and s32, 101 in bills.
There are now in charge Of the police.
White and Creamer are supposed to
be on board the tramp steamer
Oakland, which until Saturday lay
at the Atlantic docks, Brooklyn.
Her destination is Copenhagen. An ef-
fort will be made to catch her at some
local port and arrest the two :ugitives.

TACOMA, April 6-tSpecial. This morn

found in the kitchen of the Liberty coffee
house, near Fourteenth street on Pacific
avenue, of which Martin was proprietor.
He had suicided by shooting himself
through the head. There is no cause
known for the suicide except that the de-
ceased lost money on restaurant he had
at Edison and had bet his last $50 on
Alexander Parker for mayor and lost. He
had family. The impression is that the
loss drove him to blow out his brains.
Some of his friends say he did not bet on
Parker. The Tacoma Turn VereinN has
charge of the remains.
Martin leaves wife and five small chill
dren. The Turn Verein society has no
funds and money has been raised by SUBJ
scription to bury the remains.

CLEVELAND IS THE MAN.
Rill, the Petty Politician, Unable t.
Deceive the Democratic Party.

WASHINGTON CRY, April 6.-TSpecial. J.
Senator Hill is as nearly out of the presi-
dental race as any man can be who is still
before the voters of the Democratic party
as a possible candidate. The New York
politician has been found to be losing
ground during the last two weeks, and
there are some doubts at this time whether
his name will ever be presented to the del
egates at the Chicago convention. The tide
that has so strongly set in against him will
probably grow during the balance of the
campaign for the Democratic presidential
nomination, and it might not create any
surprise if Cleveland is yet given practi-
cally unanimous nomination at the ma
tional Democratic convention. The revolt
in New York against Hill is gaining
strength all the time, and the indications
today point to a split in the delegation
elected in Hills interest on February %.
By some it is predicted that if the deIega-
ton does not vote solidly for Cleveland
nearly one-half of the seventy-two men
Will find it necessary to swing to the man
that Charles A. Dana still sarcastically
calls the Stuffed Prophet of Williams
street."
The course that Senator Hill has taken
since MS ADVENT INTO the United States
Senate has had great deal to do with the
Democrats of the country losing conf
dence in his ability as statesman or claim
to the party leadership. He has been in
the Senate for more than three months,
and up to this time has not presented a
bill in the interests of his constituency or
the people at large, nor has he even pre-
sented petition defining the views of any
certain number of men. He has voted aye
and nay on important questions two or
three times, but his seat has been practi-
cally vacant since he began to draw his
salary from the government as a regularly
installed United States senator. In his
mad rush for the presidential nomination,
Hill seems to have lost his head, and at
this time the opinion among conservative
Democrats is that Hill will be unable to
reach higher official pinnacle than he
holds at the present time, and the quail
ties of his senatorial term will probably
sink him into practical obscurity There
is little doubt now that ex-President
Cleveland will be the standard bearer of his
party in this campaign, and if any Demo-
crat must be elected in November the con-
servative business men would rather it
would be Cleveland than Hill, or any other
candidates that have been mentioned in
connection with the nomination.

connection between Spokane and Bonner's
Ferry, Idaho, was effected today. The
agents along the line of the Northern
Pacific were notified today that passengers
and freight would be received for Bonner's
Ferry and transferred to the Great Northern

Northern Pacific and Great Northern
railroads has been put in at Sand
Point. There is still gap of seventy
or eighty miles in the Great North

and at the east end men are working night
and day.
With the exception of this gap. which
will be closed in few weeks, the road
is completed to Albany Falls,
thirty miles west of Sand
Point. 1t is probable that the
gap will be closed before the track is laid
between Albany Falls and Spokane and
that freight for Spokane coming from the
East over the Great Northern will first
reach the city via Sand Point and the
Northern Pacific railroad.
