HEAVIEST EVER CAST.
The Municipal Election in Chicago
Makes But Few Changes.

CHICAGO, April 6.-The alder
manic and town elections passed off
quietly here today, though the vote
was the heaviest ever cast in a mu-
nicipal election. At midnight the
returns we're nearly all in, showing
that the council has changed but
little in complexion, remaining
strongly Democratic. A number of
independent candidates were elect
ed, but the loss of seats is about
equally divided between the Repub-
licans and Democrats. A humber OF
aldermen whose names were con-
spicuously connected with the
charges of boodleism recently In.
vestigated by the grand jury, were
retired. Alderman Cullerton, who
has been the leader of the council
for twenty years, was defeated by
Rhode, an independent. The north
aud south sides of the town Went
Democratic, while the Republican,
retain control of the west town
offices. Municipal elections were
he'd throughout the state, the Aus
tralian ballot law being successfully
introduced in many places. The
issues were purely local.

Ten Men.

MURPHY, n. c., April 6.-Bill
Murphy, a Tellico mountain desper-
ado, las declared his intention to
ill ten men, and he has already
made good start in that direction
Recently his brother George married
the daughter of an enemy Of the
family, and during a quarrel over
the matter Bill shot his brother
dead. Frank Medlin, brother OF
the dead mans wife gave the body
burial, and on Wednesday was shot
dead from ambush. A momen,
later Bill Murphy sprang out into
the road and threatened death t.
anyone that would touch the body.
II was about to be mutilated by
hogs and Mr.. Morse and his wife
approached to guard it when Muir
ply fired, hitting Mrs. Morse, and
she is supposed to be dying. On
Wednesday night Murphy went to
the house of man named Bailey
and demanded lodging. Bailey hest
tated aud Murphy shot him in the
right shoulder. Murphy heard that
Ben Martin was criticising his con-
duct, and Monday, armed with his
Winchester, he found Martin at
work in his field and shot him dead.

EGAN COMING HOME
But There is no Significance
in the Fact.
EGAN is COMING HOME.
He Has Been Granted a Leave of
Absence.

WASHINGTON, April 6.-Assistant
Secretary Wharton frankly acknowl-
edged last night that Minister Egan
and Consul McCreery have been
granted leave of absence. He said:
at is true that a leave of absence
has been granted, and that Minister
Egan is expected to return to this
country. He has not been in Amer
lea since he entered the diplomatic
service just three years ago, and it
is quite natural that he should desire
to return home. His work there has
been anything but easy, and have
no doubt that he feels the need of q
vacation"
"What does this mean, Mr., Whar-
ton? That the United States in
tends to sever diplomatic relations
with Chill ?"
mot at all, not at ALL" he said;
"any such suggestion would be en-.
tirely unwarranted. Every diplo-
matte relation with Chill is thor
oughly satisfactory, and the only
question now at issue between the
two countries is one of indemnity
for the Baltimore affair.""
at has been regarded as quite sig
nilicant," was suggested, THAT
Senior Montt, who made his adieu to
the president yesterday, should he
on the point Of leaving America for
Chill at the same time that Minister
Egan was about to leave Chill for
the United States.p
"There Is nothing in that" replied
the assistant secretary of state,
"other than IA curious coincidence.
Our diplomatic relations with Chill
are cordial, and it has not been even
suggested that these relations should
be severed"

SNOW EIGHT FEET DEEP.
More of the Great Blizzard in the
Northwest.

ST. PAUL, April 6.-Monday's
storm passed all over the Northwest.
The extent of the storm was but
hinted at in the earlier report. The
blizzard continued most of the night
around Millers, and snOwdrifts eight
feet deep are now To be seen. Hun
dreds of head of stock wandered with
the storm, many of which will prob.
ably perish. One freight train has
been stalled In the snow there. The
unparalleled storm of rain and snow
which has ragged at Aberdeen, South
Dakota, three days, ceased early
yesterday, he sun is now shining
brightly. The fall of snow is simply
tremendous, and in consequence
railroads are tied up, north and west
A line of mixed trains on the Mil
waukee road lay in the snow all
Monday afternoon aud night. The
through Chicago passenger train on
the Northwestern got no further
than Redfield on this line, but
turned there and went back. The
blockade is the worst experienced in
long time. While seeding will be
greatly delayed farmers and others
are satisfied, and the acreage will be
materially increased, as great en-
couragement is felt. Country dis
trcts will be nigh impossible for
days to come.
AT Hudson, SD, it is reported that
the snow storm blockaded the west
and north branches of the Chicago
and Northwestern road. The north
bound train only reached Redfield,
and returned yesterday morning.
No trains have gone out or haYe ar
rived from the West. Lines in other
directions are open. Snow plows
and shovelers are working north
and west. The Great Northern
trains are also interrupted. The
rainfall was the greatest ever known
here in April.

Whereas, This committee, under

Whereas, The efforts and sug-

Whereas, Believing, as we do,
that II 1t Is understood by the people

England's Idea of Arbitration.

LONDON, April Gin the house
of commons yesterday Labouchere
asked whether the government in
ended to seek the adoption by Great
Britain and the United States of .
general treaty of arbitration for the
settlement Of any disputes thai
might arise between the two nations.
Lowther, on behalf of the foreign
office, said Great Britain did not In
tend 70 seek the passage of such a
treaty; that disputes frequently
arose that could be properly sub
mitted to arbitration, but there were
sone differences that could not be
decided ia that manner. The reply
of Lowther was received with man.
ifest disappointment by members on
the liberal side, as there Is a strong
movement in favor Of a permanent
treaty of arbitration with the United
States.
