MAYOR OF CHICAGO.
Carter Harrison Said TO Have Won a
Great Victory,

CHICAGO. Feb 27.-OAe of the bitterest
political fights Chicago has had in recent
years was on at the Democratic primaries
to-day. Tie struggle was between Carter
II. Harrison. ex-Mayor, and at present
editor of the Chicago Times. and Washing
ton Hesing, the proprietor of the Stats
Zeitung one of the most Influential
German newspapers in the West. Hesng
also claims TO De responsible for the Demo-
cratic victory in Illinois last November.
The plum so eagerly sought after by the
rival editors was the Democratic nomina-
ton for Mayor in to-morrow's convention.
Both men have had their supporters hard
at work for several weeks, and the fight
reached a bitter climax to-day at the pri-
maries. There were no serious rows, but
Instances OF cracked heads and punched
noses were numerous. The result Of the
days work was the heaviest vote ever
poiled at Democratic primaries in this city

the convention and is practically certain of
nomination.
Later returns show that the returns are:

NOT A BEAR GARDEN.
Speaker Crisp Calls the House to
Order Sharply.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-The demand for
the regular order by Simpson in the House
blasted the hopes OF number Of gentlemen
who desired to have pet bills passed during
the closing hours OF Congress.
Peel moved 10 suspend the rules and pass
the Indian appropriation bill.
Although more than two-thirds OF the bill |
bad already been agreed to in the committee
of the whole. and though Peel requested
that the reading Of that part be dispensed
with, Kilgore objected, and the clerk pro-
ceeded to read the bill in extenso.
AT the conclusion Of the reading OF the
Indian appropriation bill the anti-optIons
bill came in for some talk.
Taylor of Illinois said it was being pressed
on the House by the greatest combination,
of millers ever formed 10 the world to lmi'
the markets.
Coombs OF New York sent to the clerks
desk and had read a newspaper dispatch
from Mankato, Mimi, declaring the COM
bination of millers favored the bill. He
then called Hatch, one Of the most impor
tant mllers In the United States.
Hatch replied at some length and said the
bill would limit sales; not sales of wheat.
but sales of wind gu the Chicago Board Of
Trade.
After some further badinage the House
got back to business and passed the Indian
appropriation bill.
Holman moved the suspension Of the
rules and non-concurrence in all Senate
amendments to the sundry civil appropria-
tion bill. This gave rise to brief discus
sion of the Sherman bond amendment
Then the House agreed to non-concur in
the Senate amendments and the bill was
sent to a conference. The arrangement Is
to use this non-concurrence to force the
Senate to recede from its action on the
Sherman bond amendment. 1t is believed
the amendment Is not as strong as 1t was in
the Senate and that this bold front on the
part OF the House will cause the Senate to
recede on that point in order to get the
other amendments through.
Wise moved to suspend the rules and
agree to the Senate amendments to the car
coupler bill.
Richardson demanded a second. which
after some delay was ordered.
Then Richardson moved an adjournment.
and on this motion the ayes and noes were
ordered. For some moments there was
great confusion and noise in the House,
which compelled the Speaker finally TO re-
mark, In tones Of stern reproof
"Gentlemen must understand this is the
House of Representatives and not bear
gardenP lApplause.]
The motion to adjourn was defeated

The conference report ON the Military
Academy appropriation bill was agreed to.
On motion OF Springer the bill was passed
continuing for one year the present tariff
on fine linen goods Of not less than 100
threads to the square inch.
Breckinridge of Arkansas moved to sus-
pend the rules and pass the bill for the re-
lief of William w. Burns, one Of the as
sigrees Of the interest of w. II. Sibley. the
inventor OF the Sibley tent. No quorum
voting, the House adjourned.

TOO MANY PENSIONS.
Palmer as the Champion of Econ
Omy in the Department.
He Hopes the Next Commissioner
VIII Understand the Gravity of
the Situation.
Special to THE MORNING CALL

WASHINGTON. Feb. Pin the Senate,
after the agricultural bill was placed on the
calendar, the pension appropriation bill
was taken up.
German called attention to the fact that
bill appropriating S166. 000.0 900 was being
run through the Senate with very few Sem
ators giving any attention to it. German
said that he could not fail to take office Of
the fact that there had been an overwhelnl-
ing vote in the House against any change In
the pension laws. The fact was. as was
stated last week by the Senator from ILL.,
nois (PaImer), that there had been rivalry
between the two great political parties to
see how far they could go in the matter Of
pension legislation. All that he (Gorman)
desired to do was to call the attention of the
Senate and Of the people to the fact that
with the present condition OF the pension
laws Congress would be powerless at the
next session, as 1t was at this, to reduce the
pension appropriation to any extent until
the question was taken up by the Pension
Committee and until legislation was had for
a reduction of pensions.
Palmer spoke on the subject Of rension
as one that was interesting the country very
much. The amount Of pension appropria-
tions was exciting surprise. There was a
growing anxiety that pensions should be paid
only to the deserving, and he thought that
old soldiers pensioners as well as non
pensioners would favor any proposition
that would tend to eliminate from the rolls
those who did not deserve pensions. He
trusted that the new administration would
find a man for Pension Commissioner who
wOuld comprehend the gravity OF the sub
ject and have The courage TO do right
Alter some further discussion the bill was
passed without amendment.
The conference report on the military
academy bill was agreed 10, and after con-
ference had been ordered on the sundry
civil appropriation bill. public business was
suspended in order that fitting tributes
might be paid to the memory Of the late
Senator Kenna.
The Senate then adjourned,

II was formally decided tonight that the

bill making an appropriation for the pay
ment of the salaries and per diem of the
officers and members of the Populist House

Dlis should be passed excepting those
necessary to keep in motion the machinery
of the State. and that an adjournment
would be reached as speedily as possible

tions Committee to inquire into the election
OF Chief Justice Horton Of the Supreme
Court. The Populists say that they be-

BILL Nearly all the bills have now passed
the House. including the Indian appro ria
ton bill. which Mr.. Peel of Arkansas called
up early this morning and put through
under suspension OF the rules.
"The Senate has deal of work before II,
but will probably accept the amend ments
made by the Senate Committee on Appro-
priations to the House bills without much
debate, and throw the final settlement OF
the disputed matter into conference. The
real difficulty is with the bond amendment
and the demoralIzed state of public fnan-
ees."
Two views relative to the Sherman bond
amendment obtain in the Senate. The indi-
cations are, however, that the Senate will
recede from its amendment in this particu-
lar and the result of the struggle will be
that the sundry civil bill will be passed
without this amendment attached TO it.
Teller, one of the most ardent of the anti
bond faction. said this evening that thare
was very visible weakening OF the forces
that passed the amendment when it was up
for consideration. 1t is also said that word
has come from Cleveland that he would
rather see the sundry civil bill a law than
have it imperiled by an attempt to force the
bond question.
Treasurer Nebecker, speaking Of the drain
of gold that has been going on for the past
year OF more, said it was largely the work
of spectators on the New York Stock EX-
change. The export OF gold had the effect
OF bearing stocks. and by selling stocks and
exporting gold the profit made on stocks not
only compensated for the freight charges
and insurance on the gold shipped, but left
profit Then, too, as France and Austria
were in The market after gold. specie found
a ready sale on the other side.
A feeling of confidence peryades the
Treasury Department. AS far as known
only S350.000 in gold has been engaged at
the New York sub-treasnry for shipment
tomorrow. while the free gold in hand Is
more than 100000.
NEW YORK, Feb 27-The Wall-street
Journals Washington special says: 1t is
stated on good authority that the incoming
administratio II has asked that the Senate
amendment TO the sundry civil bill. author
ling the sale Of 3 per cent bonds, be not
insisted upon, ii it is likely 10 endanger the
final passage Of the bill.
Lazard Freres will not ship tomorrow
the 100000 gold for which they made ar
rangements on Saturday.
LONDON, Feb. 27.-At a meeting OF the
cotton operatives at Oldham to-day reso-
luton was passed calling upon the Govern
ment TO erdeavOr 10 secure an international
agreement upon the reassembling of the
Brussels conference TO the effect that all
tie mints Of the world be opened to the
unrestricted coinage Of gold and silver
No such destltution as exists in Oldham
