The Laws OF Chicago Provide for No
Emergency Of This Kind.
CHICAGO, Oct. 3l.-Opinions vary as to
the succession to the mayoralty made va
cant by the assassination Of Mayor Harri-
son.
Corporation Counsel Kraus says that
pending the election Of new mayor the
council would, in his opinion, be empow-
cred to select a mayor pro tenn.
Alderman Madden, chairman of the
finance committee OF the city council says:
"The city statutes are rather vague in
reference TO an emergency OF this kind.
From what can learn after a hasty ex-
animation Of the statutes it appears that
when . vacancy occurs In the Office of
mayor, and the unexpired term Is less than
one year, IL is within the jurisdiction OF
the city council to elect a mayor pro tenn,
who shall have all the powers and duties
of a mayor and shall flll out the unexpired
term But in the event that vacancy
occurs in the Office of mayor and the un-
expired term is more than one year, then
the city council shall meet and elect q
mayor pro TEN, but shall also call special
election for the people to elect mayor to
fill out the unexpired term"

DOUBLE SUICIDE.


Sensational Tragedy i'm Alleged High
s&A Life i'm England.
LONDON, Oct. 3l.-On Friday last a
married woman named Lycia = Bloss
committed suicide at her residence,
Whitehead Grove, Chelsea. She shot her
self with revolver Her death has led to
the discovery that her suicide was linked
with that of the Hon. Frederick Charles
Howard, brother of the earl of Efiingham,
who, on Thursday last, shot and killed
himself at his residence, No. "a Evelyn
terrace. The coroner's jury in the case of
Howard returned verdict that he had
killed himself while laboring under aber-
ration of the mind. 1t has now trans
pired that Mrs. Bloss. whose husband Is in
America, was Howards mistress. How
ards wife, Lady Constance, who Is the
daughter OF the earl of Winchelsea, dis
covered the liaison, and was about to bring
an action for divorce against him. There
is hardly any question that this was the
reason OF Howard's suicide. 1t has been
learned that after Towards death Mrs.
Bloss told friend that she and Howard
had discussed the situation, and that
Howard had urged upon her that they
both ought to commit suicide. The day
after Howard's death Mrs. Bloss, who be-
fore had hesitated about making away
with herself. procured a revolver and shot
herself in the head.

POOR SHOW FOR HORNBLowET
His Nomination TO the Supreme
Court on the Shelf

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3l.-The impression
prevails that the Judiciary committee
Of the senate will take no action
on the nomination of Hornblower, to
be associate justice of the supreme
court, and that 1t will therefore go
over until the regular session in Decem-
Der, providing, OF course, the senate ad-
journs. There was n meeting OF the COM
mittee this morning, and the nomination
was discussed for some time but no action
was taken, 1t is said the COMMITTEES is in
receipt OF letters from New York In OPP
position to the confirmation Of Mr.. Horn
blower. The assertion is made in these
letters that the nominee has never had
any judicial experience, and that as a
practicing lawyer he is deficient in knowl-
edge of constitutional law, never having
had any practice before the court to which
the president seeks to elevate him as one
Of the judges. At all events, whatever
the reasons may be. the committee is
moving with remarkable slowness.
