PURITY IS AT A DISCOUNT.
Special TO THE MORNING CALI

CHICAGO, April 4-Carter H. Harrison
was elecred Mayor of Chicago by &C, COO plu-
rality over Samuel w. Allerton, the caudi-
Iate on the Citizens ticket. The entire
Democratic city Ticket was also elected by
about the same plurality, and C!cgier. on
The Labor ticket, did not receive 5000 votes.
The Democrats carried tho West and South
Town tickets, but the Republicans saved
the North Town. Returns are coming in
slowly, but the chances are that the Alder
men viii be about equally divided.
Never in the hisicry of Chicago has such
interest been shown in any municipal cleo
tion as in that which came off to-day. The
campaign on both sides has been conducted
with great bitterness. 1t was an open con-
test of Republicans and citizens against
Harrison, and more against him as an iudi-
yidual than as the representative Of politi-
sal faction.

Special to THE MORNING CALL

PANAMA, April 4.-News of the signal
defeat Of the Government troops near
Iegucigalpa. Honduras, was received in
this city late last night by mail. This re port
was confirmed in advees brought later by
the officers of the steamer Barra-
couta, who added the information
that the revolutionists had finally
triumphed and that Polcarpo BOnla
had been proclaimed Provisional President
of the Republic. The news reached here
from Managua. Nicaragua. which is tho
hotbed OF sympathizers with the revclu-
tionists and it is therefore given with all
due reserve
General Terrencio Sierra led the advance
upon the Government position. His troops
pushed forward with great bravery, hut
their assault was resisted with courage and
determination equal to their own. aud for
more than two hours the battle ragged with
out apparent advantage on either side.
Then the revolutionists decided upon a
bolder and more decisive move. Their
lines seemed to waver for moment and
then they dashed forward in solid ranks.
They fell upon the Government army with
terrific force and battered it in a murdeTous
fashion. General VasQu,z's troops resisted
the onslaught with great valor, and
for few moments it seemed as
though they could beat back the
attacking columns, but the reserves
were brought forward, and the dash against
the Government troops became hotter than
before. Tie revolutionary troops broke
through the Government lines in the GEN.
Ter, cutting the defending army into two
forces and spreading Generalization and
terror among the troops. From that moment
the battle was won for Bonilla's army.
The revolutionary loss was great. and
General Sierra Bonllas, chief of staff. was
himself badly wounded. BOnillas' victor
ious soldiers slaughtered the fugitives
without mercy and scores are reported to
have been killed while fleeing for safety.
General Vasquez himself fled toward Vii
lanera, leaving Bonilia a clear road on
which to march to Tcgucigalpi. 1t is said
that many Government soldiers who es-
capped from Bonillas' troops went through
the Los Angeles Valley, where they COM
mitted many atrocities.
After the great victory Bonllla marched
at the head of his victorious army into
Tegucigalpa. lie was received with en-
thusiasm, and without opposition was pro-
claimed Provision President of the republic
He accepted the Office and at once took
charge of the Government.
Later reports say that General Vasquez
has been captured by the reYoutionists.

English Newspapers on the Bering

SO Are Not Worthy of

speeial 10 THE MORNING CALL

PARIS. April 4.-The Bering Sea Court OF
arbitration assembled to = day. Many
American ladies' were among the audience
Sir Charles Russell, OF counsel for Great
Britain, moved that Campbell furnish the
court with n cory of the report OF Sir'Henry
Elliott on the Bering Sea question.
The motion was supported by Webster.
also of the British counsel, and opposed br
Phelps and Carter OF the counsel for the
United States.
Phelps said in his argument that the
United States had communicated the origi
nal report in February and Carer con-
tended that tie United States was justified
in refusing to produce the report asked for,
but would produce it in order to remove the
causes Of British caviling.
Sir Charles Russell then demanded the
production of the Elliott report, basing the
application on article " of the treaty of
arbitration.
Phelps. in behalf Of the United States,
denied that tie report was referred to in
the American case. He said that it was
simply referred to in the counter case, to
which article " of the treaty did not refer
Phelps further denied that it was admissible
in law that one party should have power TO
force is adversary to produce any docu-
ment simply because the adversary desired
TO Use it in evidence. The refusal OF the
United States to produce the document was
not due 10 any desire to suppress the report.
but to the fact that it was applied for too
late for the American Government to pre-
pare its answer 10 arguments that might
possibly be based upon it. Nevertheless,
he would produce the report, as he did not
wish 10 engender the suspicion of a desire
TO suppress evidence, but after this conces-
sion he would decline to produce any further
evidence.
The court then took a recess.
After recess Carter submitted for con-
sideraton motion that the tribunal dis
miss from the arbitration so much Of
EDgland's demand as relates TO America
ard is contained in chapter 10. page 315, of
the British counter-case referring TO the
expenditure for Supreme Court proceed
ings. Tie motion contemplated also the
dismissal Of the clause concerning peagic
sealers.
Phelps moved the rejection of the report
of the Ber!ng Sea Commission put in evil
dence at the first meeting Of the arbitra-
tors, and his address was still unfinished
when the commission adjourned until to-
morrow.
LA-OtCietaIN OI otaIe' roster, American
agent for the Bering Sea Court Of Arbitra-
tion, was questioned to-day in regard TO the
erroneous translation of certain Russian
documents represented to have been used
TO uphold the American case. Foster said
that the errors of translation had been dis
covered by the United States Government.
and the enormously translated documents
Withdrawn, along with the arguments
based upon them, and that the British Gov
ernment had been informed of the facts.
The insinuatlons Of the British newspapers
were, therefore, utterly unfounded and
unworthy Of attention.

Of general holiday in this city and vicinity
to-day. Tie railway trains brought thou
sands of people. and the streets we're

The procession was followed by students
from Dublin in gowns, and the band
played British UniOnist airs, while the
great multitude that lined the streets to the
Botanic Gardens cheered with fierce en-.
thuslasm rs each noted character or we'll
known organization passed along.
Balfour rode in carriage. bareheaded,
constantly bOwing in recognition of the
greetings Of the multitude.
1t was bright, sunshiny weather, and the
gayly decorated buildings and the mass OF
marching organizations, with the attend
ance, all combined to make most brilliant
and impressive spectacle.
The enthusiasm Of the days demOnstra-
ton eliminated in the reception to Mr..
Balforr when he appeared before the mass
meeting. When he rose to speak he stood
for five minutes waiting for the uproar to
cease. After touching on the history Of
Ulster and pralsing the loyalty. ienaciiy
and bravery Of the men of Ulster he an
alyzed the home-rule bill. lie devoted con-
siderable attention to the probable effect
that the bill, if passed, would have upon
Professionalism in Ireland, and he prayed to
God that the Irish loyaiss would not be
compelled to fight for their rights. He be-
lieved that such calamity would be
averled, yet the tyranny OF majorities
might be found 10 be as bad as the tyranny
If kings.

Special to THE MORNING CALL

MONTREAL, April 4.-EX-Premier Mer
cier Il Quebec spoke here tonight on the
future of Canada. He is now seeking to
rehRbilitate himself by espousing the cause
of Canadian independence, and tonight he
made the opening speech of his campaign.
In the course Of his address Mercler said :
II 10 not need to say that propose to deal
with my rsubjact freely, without fear and
without feebleness, but also without hatred
toward England and with all the respect
that is due one of the greatest nations on
the globe. On the whole, we owe nothing
to Eng gland, aud we may separate ourselves
from her when the majority coEs,itutionally
decides to do so without any panGs Of con-
science and without any shedding OF tears"
AS 10 the confederation, he declared that
the scheme was frame in spirit hostile to
the French element, and as TO the great
questions before them, MERCER said that the
Canadian people had arrived at n stage
when they must make up their minds what
the future is going 10 be. In short. they
must determine whether it is TO be con-
tinuation of the status quo. political union
with the United States or independence.
IF we continue in our colonial condi-
tion," he said. I'VE recede. If we break the
colonial tie we advance"
As TO political union with the United
States, Mercier said: For many Of our
people the immediate entrance OF Canada
into the American Union is the only solution
that the problem of the future OF Canada
presents. While l res: eet this opinion l
do not share it. Nevertheless. as political
union may become the ultimate end of our
destiny, it necessarily has its place i'll any
study Of the question. That in certain
respects such union would be of advantage
to us is incantestable. These advantages
are to be found both in a material and in
moral sense. Demolish the roliticai wall
which separates us from the United States.
destroy the conditions that keep American
capital cut Of our country, and you would
have an inpouring of riches that would
satisfy your utmost expectations"
Mercier pointed out that political union
with the United States would have the
effect of removing Canada's enormous
public debt, improving the credit of its III
dusirial companies. reducing the cost of
government administration aud increasing
the Influence Of the French Canadians a a
race by attaching them more strongly to
the millions OF French-Canadians now in
the United States. But despite all of the
natural and uther advantages which would
follow from political union he was fer inde-
pendenca for four leading reasons, viz
From necessity, from patriOtisn,, owing to
the natural advantages Of Independence,
and because the Canadians were. capable of
existing as an independent people.
Mercier claimed that Independence would
be necessary before political union with the
United States could he accomplished if
that were at last found to be desirable.

fore the polls opened, early in the morning,
there were lines of men waiting a chance TO
cast their ballot, and by o'clock there were
great crowds ef men al each polling place.
By noon 20 per cent of the registered vote
had been cast.
The general feeling during the day seemed
In favor of Harrison's chances and what
betting was done was in his favor. The
Australian ballot, against which Harrison's
popularity had never before been meas
uTed, was inclined 10 make the loudest of
his supporters a trihe cautious, however.
and not large amount of betting was done
al any figure. The chances, too. that the
old-time Democratic majoritles in the stock
yards, where Allerton is very popular
would be very largely cut made another
factor in the betting and went long way
toward keeping down the amount of money
Wagered.
The German population, which was con-
fdenty expected to so almost solidy against
Harrison, proved a disappointment to both
parties. Il seems to have split between the
two candidates and not to have proven the
decisive factor that it was in the election of
last November, when it went so heavily for
Cleveland and AltgelG as to virtually settle
the electoral vote of the State.
By o'clock, an hour alter the polls
closed. crowds began to congregate in front
of the newspaper Offices TO wait the returns.
At the corner Of Fifth avenue and Wash
inEton street. the Times building. where
Raulson's newspaper is published, was
great sheet Of canvas upon which the re-
turns were thrown by stereopticon. half
a block to ths south a similar canvas bore
the returns, shown by the Record, and half
a block to the east the Herald gave its news
out. Tie two latter papers have been
strongly anti-Harrison during the cam
paign, and the crowds which packed the
streets in front of their buildings partook
strongly Of their sentiments. There we're
many alterations between the partisans,
and there was many bloody ose before
the evening was over
From the first the returns began to come
strongly in favor OF Harrison, and his FOL
lowers simply went wild. They jumped,
yelled. threw their hats in the air, blew
horns and hired brass bands. The thrOng
in The streets became SO dense that several
lines of streetcars were compelled to stop
running until the police could force an
opening for them. 1t was not as big an
election as had been that of last November,
but 1t meant as much or more TO Chicago,
and all Chicago was out to see how it went.
