disappointment. All his well laid plans
had come to naught, for while he was

rapidity he ran to the police station and
told Capt Shoenig that his assistance
was needed. Together in hack they
went to the reidence of Chief of Police
Eastley and Sheriff Gray and awoke
these gentlemen. There are two trains
leaving the city almost at the same
time. 1t is most likely that Miss Ella
has left on the Milwaukee road. They
arrive there a few minutes before the
train pulls out, but fail to find the OBJ

Mr.. Tucker was seen last evening by
a newspaper reporter and spoke sub

The battle is now being fought again
with the same contestants. The re-

to re-elect Gov. Brown, despite the
popularity of the democratic nominee,
David S. Baker, Jr., and the business
qualities of Henry B. Metcalf, the

Senators Aldrich and Dixon have come
home to make a few speeches, and the
government employees from Rhode Isl

vote. The story is being circulated
that the election of David S. Baker, Jr,
for governor means that ex-Mayor

the next democratic candidate for Unit
cd States senator.

Baker .Jr's nomination was made with

ticket was nominated in the same way

regular attendants upon the democratic
state convention can recall where there
was not Il wrangle over every nominal
ton. The republicans We're counting
upon much dis;lffection in the demo-

The prohibitionists have gone into new
fields this year and have held meetings
where their political doctrines have
never before been preached, except
from the pulpit. The present prospect
is that the election will be thrown
into the legislature where the republ-
cans are likely to have d majority.
That means Gov. Browns reelection.

FOR GUNPOWDER
German Army Officers Making Salts
factory Tests.

Berlin, April "a commission Of arr
tiilery experts have been testing for sey-
cral days at the Jetterburg, a new eX-
plosive which is intended to replae
ultimately, gunpOWtler in the German
army. The explosive is u brown, fatty
oil when exposed in ordinary temper
atllre 1t retains the consistency up to
H. degrees Fahrenheit. A shock or
Il spark does not set it off. When used
in guns the explosion Is obtained
through contact with another chemical
compound. The explosion is almost I'M
accompanied by smoke, and the DE-
tonatiOn is inconsiderable. The recoil
is slight even when the heaviest
charges have been used The eNplo-
Sive does not heat the weapon sufficient
" to cause difficulties in the way of
rapid firing, and cartridges once used
are easily refilled. For the present Ii
he. model of 1888, the new compound
is not available, but if future tests be
us satisfactory as the recent ones it
will be introduced generally in the ar
tillery branch of the IService. -Four
models Of the new army rifles, having
many advantages over the rifle now in
use, have passed successfully the trials
of the small arms inspectors. The in
ventor Of all -four is DR. Weiss of the
Gera dynamite factory.

CATHOLICS vs.. A. p. A.
Cleveland Municipal Campaign Waged
Altogether on Religious Issues.

CLEVELAND. April 3.-The municipal
campaign. which closed here to-day,
has been one of the hardest fought
III recent years. and the prospects now
are that Robert Blee. Democratic Gan
didate for Mayor. will be elect. q. The
anti-Catholic agitation has cut Ii large
figure in the canvass and if Blee is
defeated it will be through the
efforts of the A. 2. A. Mr.. Blee was
formerly superintendent of the Bee
Lime before it became the Big Four,
and is very popular with railroad men.
His republican opponent is W. j.
Akers: the proprietor of the Forest
CITY Hotel. The Republicans, with the
help of the A. P, A., carried the school
election last year, and the Catholi s
are hot for revenge. The announce
ment Of Gen. Ed 5. Meyer
as an independent candidate
has terribly upset Republican
plans and makes Democratic
victory appear toleratly certain.
Meyer is corporation counsel under
the present Republican city admin
ist:ation and has made very popular
official. He was nominated by TIE
Populists and labor men and is eX-
De-ted to draw heavily from the Re

THE KELLY INCIDENT RECALLED.
Mr.. Max Judd's Appointment as Consul
to Vienna Is Opposed.

WASHINGTON. April 3.-Cable mes
sages from Vienna stating that the
anti-Semitic organization anu other
bodies in that city are vigorously pro-
testing against the reception of Mr..
Max Judd of Missouri, Hebrew citi-
zen of the United States and a native
of Austria, nominated and confirmed
as consul-general to Vienna, have
necessarily recalled the Kelly incident
in connection with that same country.
The anti-Semitic feeling, it will be
recollected, played an important part
in the refusal of Austria to receive
Minister Kelly and resulted in the prac-
teal suspension of diplomatic relations
between the two countries for over q
year.
