.HARRISONS POPULARITY.
The Chicago Editor Wins the
Mayoralty Contest.
HE HAS A BIG MAJORITY.
The Field Was Against Him but He
OYercame the Odds.
Never in the History of the Windy City
Was Such Interest Shown in
Municipal Contest-A Very
Bitter Campaign.

CHICAGO, April 4.-Carter Harrison is
elected mayor OF Chicago by 20, 600 plu-
rality over Samuel W. Allerton, candi-
date on the Citizens ticket. The entire
Democratic city ticket is also elected by
about the same plurality. Gregier on the
labor ticket did not receive 8, 200 votes.
The Democrats carried the west and south
town tickets, but the Republicans saved
the north town. Returns are coming in
slowly, but the chances are that the
successful aldermen are about equally
divided. Never in the history
of Chicago has such interest been shown
in any municipal election as in that
which came of today. The campaign on
both sides has been conducted with great
bitterness. 1t was an open con est of Re-
publicans and citizens against Harrison
more against him as an Individual than
as a representative of a political faction.
The day was Republican day so far as
the weather went, it being perfect Long
before the polls opened early in the morn
| ing there were lines of men waiting
chance to cast their ballot and by 9
'clock there were great crowds of men
at each polling place. and by noon seventy
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 measured, was inclined to
make the loudest of his supporters tritie
cautious, and not large amount OF bet
ting was done at any figure. The chances,
too, that the old time Democratic MAORI
ties in the stock yards, where Allerton
was very popular, would be largely cut,
made another fact in betting and went a
long way toward keeping down the
amount of money Wagered.
The German population which was con-
fdently expected to go almost solidly

CANADIAN ANNEXATION
Ex-Premier MERCER Delivers His Open
ing Address in Montreal.
England and May Separate from
Her at ANY Time.

MONTREAL, April 4.-Ex- premier Mer-
cier OF Quebec, spoke here tonight. He is
now seeking to rehabilitate himself by
espousing the cause of Canadian indie
pendence, and tonight made the opening
speech of his campaign. In the course of
his address, MERCER said: 81 DO not need
to say that l propose to deal with my sub
ject freely, without fear, and without
feebleness, but also without hatred to-
ward England and with all the respect
that is due one of the greatest nations of
the globe. On the whole, we owe
nothing to England, and we may separate
ourselves from her when majority con-
stitutionally decides to do so, without
any pangs OF conscience and without any
shedding of tears.
AS to confederation ne declared that
the scheme was framed in a spirit hostile
to the French element. As to the great
question before them, MERCER said: '"The
Canadian people have arrived at stage
when they must make up their minds
what the future is going to be, continue
ton of the statu quo, political union with
the United States or independence. If we
continue in our colonial condition, he
said, we recede; if we break the colonial
tie, we will advance. -
As to political union with the United
States, MERCER said: FFor many people
the immediate entrance of Canada into
the American Union is the only solution
to the problem that the future of Canada
presents. While / respect this opinion, /
do not share it, Nevertheless as poIiti-
cal union may become the ultimate end OF
our destiny, it necessarily has its place in
a study Of the question That in certain
respects such union would be of advan-
tage to US is incontestable. These advan-
tages are to be found both in the material
and moral sphere. DemoliSh the politi-
cal wall which separates US from the
United States. Destroy conditions that
keep American capital out of our country
and you will have importing riches that
would satisfy most expectations.
MERCER pointed out that a political
union with the states would have the
eject of removing Canada's enormous
public debt, improving the credit OF Its
industrial companies, reducing the cost
of government administration and in
creasing the influence of French-Cana-
dams as a race by attaching them more
strongly TO the millions of French Cana.

despite all natural and other advantages

KANSAS MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS.
The Contest for Supremacy Between Be.
tween Republicans and Populists.

The Contest for Supremacy Between Be-
tween Republicans and PopuIists.
KANSAS CITY, April 4.-The municipal
elections throughout Kansas today have
an unusual interest in party light, and
between the Republicans and Populists
| lines are strictly drawn and the results
will go far to determine which party has
gained and lost public confidence in the
recent struggle in the legislature, and to
settle party supremacy in the state at the
next state election. 1t will also decide
whether woman suffrage will be ex-
| tended to all elective offices, or
the act comforting suffrage upon them be
abolished, according to the strength the
women show at the polls. The registra
ton of women is larger than ever before,
and large female vote IS expected. In
Kansas City, Kan, Mrs. Anna Potter is
running for mayor on the Independent
ticket. She will hardly be elected. The
weather throughout the state is fine,
which is In favor of the Populists, as most
| of them live in the country and it requires
good roads to bring them out.
| Returns from many cities will be imper-
! feet tonight, if received at all, and it is
doubtful whether the result in Kansas
| city will be known before two days. At
Hiawatha, Small, Republican, is elected
MAYOR. At Lyons the Repu blicans car
ried the entire ticket. The result at
Okahe is entirely Republican. At Eureka
| the Prohi bition Republican candidate
elected the mayor, and balance of the Re-
publican ticket At Fort Scott the citi-
zzens' candidate for mayor was elected.
At Wichita the Republicans won decided
victory.
In Kansas City Mrs. Potter received but
few votes and her ticket, the Independ-
emit one, is probably defeated entire. The
vote on the other two mayoralty candi-
dates is close and the result is doubtful,
bat indications are that L. M. Cox, Re-
publican, is elected by l 200 majority and
the remainder of the Republican ticket.
with the exception of one member of the
school board. In all about TO-, 600 women
voted.
At O'Clock this, Wednesday. morning
returns from elections throughout the
state indicate most sweeping victory for
the Republicans and indicate strongly a
change of sentiment against the Pop
uIiStS.

An Argument Over Sir Henry
Elliott's Report.
GREAT BRITAIN WANTS IT.
Indeed Her Counsel Demands a Pro-
ductiOn OF the Report.
nIr. Phelps, for the United States, Opposes
the Matter, But Finally, to Avoid
Further clubbing, Agrees
to Produce 1t.

PARIS, April 4.-The Behring sea court
OF arbitration assembled today. Many
American ladies were among the audience.
Sir Charles Russell, OF counsel for Great
Britain, moved that Mr.. Campbell fur
nish the court copy of the report of Sir
Henry Elliott on the Behring sea ques-
ton The motion was supported by
Webster, also of the British counsel, and
opposed by Phelps and Carter, of counsel
for the United States.
Mr.. Phelps said in his argument that
the United States had communicated the
original report IL February Mr.. Carter
commended that the United States was JUS
titled in refusing to produce the report
asked for, but would produce it IN order
to remove causes of British caviling.
Sir Charles Russell then demanded the
production of the Elliot report, basing
mis- application on article of the treaty
arbitration.
Mr.. Phelps, in behalf of the United
States, denied that the report was re-
ferred to In the American case.
he said 1t was simply referred to in the
counter case, TO which article of the
treaty did not refer. He further denied
1t was admissible in law that one party
should have power to force an adversary
to produce any document simply because
the adversary desired to use it in evidence.
! The refusal of the United States 10 pro-
duce the document was not due to any
desire to suppress the report, but to the
TACT that 1t was applied for too late for the
American government to prepare its
answer to arguments that might possibly
be based upon 1t. Nevertheless, he would
/ produce the report as he did not wish to
engender suspicion of a desire to sup
press evidence, but after this concession
he would decline to produce any further
evidence.
Ex-Secretary of State Foster, American
agent OF the Behring sea court OF arbitra-
ton, was questioned today in regard to
the erroneous translation of certain
Russian documents represented to have
been used to uphold the American case.
MIR. Foster said tie errors of translation
had been discovered by the United States
! government and the enormously trans
lated documents Withdrawn, along with
arguments based upon them, and the
British government was informed of the
facts. The insinuations of the British
newspapers were, therefore, utterly I'M
founded and unworthy OF attenten.
After recess MIR. Carter submitted for
| consideration a motion that the tribunal
dismiss from the arbitration so much of
England S demand as relates TO America,
and contained in chapter 10 page 315) Of
the British counter case, referring to the
expenditure for supreme court proceed
1ngs.
Mr.. Phelps moved a rejection of the
report OF the Behring sea commission put
in evidence at the first meeting The adj
dress was still unfinished when the COM
mission adjourned until tomorrow.

A Proclamation Issued by President Har-
rison VIII Be Revoked.
WASHINGTON, April 1.-The president
and secretary of state have had several
conferences in regard to state commerce
with South American countries resulting
from the reciprocity policy of the last ad-
ministration, and practically concluded
TO discontinue the discriminating duties
imposed on coffee and sugar produced in
Venesuela, Hayti and the United States OF
Columbia, the only three countries in
South America which refused to enter
into satisfactory reciprocity arrangements
under the Mckinley law. 1t is said the
president is opposed TO a continuance OF
discrimination against the three countries
named, and will revoke the proclamation
issued by President Harrison. Action in
this matter, however, may be deferred
several weeks.

Out the Incompetents.
RECORDS ARE EXAMINED.
Work Of the Census Must Be Closed
Up This Year.
The Land Office VIII Be Given an Over
hauling and Then the Pension Blu
reau Will Receive Thor
ough Shaking Up.

WASHINGTON, April 4.-Secretary Hoke
Smith has already begun to carry into
effect his policy of dispensing with the
services OF all incompetent clerks in his
department, or those appointed purely
for political reasons. Under the direc-
lions of Chief Clerk Wardle, individual
records of the clerical force of the census
Office is being thoroughly examined, and
all clerks found TO be deficient will be dis
missed. Twenty nine clerks will be drop
ped from the rolls today, and others are
likely to follow.
1t is Secretary Smiths belief that the
work of the census should be completed
by the end OF the calendar year, without
asking an additional appropriation from
Congress, but to do this, he is convinced
there must be not only economy In ex-
penditures, but each employee must do
good and efficient work.
II is understood also, that the clerical
force in the general land office is soon to
undergo a process OF renovation, after
which some attention viii be given to
the pension and other bureaus with a
view CT putting them on a strictly busl-
ness basis.

Dupuy After Several Attempts Succeeds
Finally in Forming a Ministry.
PARIS, April 4.-Dupuy has abandoned
his effort to form a cabinet, because he
could not induce Paul Louis Peytral to
accept the portfolio of finance unless Du-
puy would also include Edward LockrOy
as minister of commerce, which Dupuy
would not do, believing Lockroy too
radical.
Later, upon the urgent request of
President Carnot. Dupuy has consented
to make another attempt to form min
istrv. and he succeeded finally. The cab
met is as follows:
Dupuy, premier and minister OF in

UNIoN1sT DEMONSTRATIONS.
A Vast Crowd of People Do the Honors
to Balfour.

to Balfour.
BELFAST, April 4-This is a general
holiday in this city and vicinity, and the
railway trains have brought thousands of
people and the streets are thronged with
enthusiastic crowds. Everybody is wear
ing badge in imitation of the union
jack, signifying devotion to the union.
At noon Right Hon. A. j. Balfour, Mar
quis and Marchioness Londonderry, duke
of Abercorn, mayor of Belfast and other
leading Unionists headed a monster pro-
eession of Orangemen and members of the
Unionists clubs, Odd Fellows and other
organizations, which marched through
the streets clad in the full regalia OF their
respective orders. The procession was
followed by students from Dublin in
gowns, the bands played British Unionist
airs, while the great multitude that lined
the streets to the Botanical garden
cheered with fierce enthusiasm as each
noted character or well known organiZa-
ton passed along.
Balfour rode in a Carriage bareheaded
constantly bowling in recognition of the
greetings of the multitude Bright, sun
shiny weather, gaily decorated buildings
and a mass of marching organizations
with the attendance all combined to make
it the most brilliant possible spectacle.
The enthusiasm of the day s demonstra-
lions eliminated in a reception to Mr..
Balfour. When he appeared before the
mass meeting and rose to speak he stood
for five minutes waiting for the uproar to
cease. After touching on the history Of
Ulster and praising the loyalty, tenacity
and bravery OF the men OF Ulster he
analyzed the home rule bill.
He devoted considerable attention to
the probable effect that the bill if passed
would have upon protestant Ireland. He
prayed to God that Irish loyalists would
not be compelled to fight for their rights.
He believed such a calamity would be
averted. Yet the tyranny of majorities
might be found as bad as the tyranny of
kings.

ALBUQUERQUE, N. NJ, April 4.-The
Democratic central committee, members
of the Democratic territorial central COM
mittee, Albuquerque Commercial club
and prominent business men irrespective
of party, are telegraphing protests to
Washington against William Eads OF
Missouri, for governor of New Mexico,
mainly on the ground OF being non-res-

w. Albright of this city as not only the
choice of his party, but of the whole peo-
pie. Here in Albuquerque where he is
best known, Colonel Albright has owned
and edited the leading Democratic daily

Indications Point to the Election of the
Republican Ticket.

DETROIT, Mich, April 4.-Returns
from yesterdays state election are still
incomplete, but indications point to the
election of Hooker, Repu blican, TO the
supreme bench by plurality of 10, 600 or
more, and of the Republican candidates
for regents by larger plurality. In old
Democratic strongholds, such as Wayne
and Saginaw counties, the Republicans
made great gains. They have captured
Grand Rapids, Ann Arbor, Manistee and
other cities formerly Democratic. The
Democrats elect mayors at Ypsilanti and
Port Huron, overturning Republican
majorities. All the proposed constitu-
tional amendments are undoubtedly car
ried. A light vote was polled throughout
the state. owing to apathy and bad
weather.
