NEW YORK ELECTION LAW.
Gov. Flower Insists on Provision fol-
Blanket Faster.

AS the session of the New York legisla-
ture is expected, under an agreement of the
two houses, to come to an end today, great
interest is conferred upon the expected ballot
law. Both the senate and assembly origi-
mated bills, and there seemed such pros
pect that neither would pass. Gov. Flower
was impelled 20 send special message, in
which he stated what measures he would
favor, and also that If certain provisions
were included in the bill he would veto it,
After this message was read, both houses
united in passing just such bill as the
governor said he would not sign, and he pre-
pared his veto message. But the bill, up to
midnight, had not been sent to the executive
mansion from the engrossing room of the
capitol. The gist of the veto is that pro-
vision must be made for blanket paster to
accompany the blanket ballot, so that Hit
crate persons may be afforded reasonable
facilities for exercising their franchise.
Considerable feeling has been caused by
the delay in sending the bill to the governor,
and he does not hesitate to say: "Of course,
/ knew exactly the contents of the BILL and
relying on Mr.. Saxton's agreement to get
the bill to me twentyfour hours before ad-
tournment prepared the veto, so that 1t
would be sent I'm in time to be discussed
and its recommendations acted upon.

Jority do not want ballot reform

SMALLPOX AT CHICAGO.
The Health Department Has Close
Three School Houses.


Three school Houses.
Smallpox, which has laid firm hold on
Chicago, continues to spread with the
progress of increased measures to stamp 1t
out. Yesterday the scourge reached the
worst stage 1t has gained yet, and there
was considerable apprehension felt about
the health department The record shows
202 cases of smallpox at the pest house,
and the corps of physicians investigating
suspected CT ses throughout the city re-
ported seventeen well-developed cases of
the disease, necessitating immediate re-
moval.
There Is general feeling of alarm, for
II the cases continue coming in at that
rate the pest house, with it's new addition,
which has just been completed, will be
entirely inadequate to the demands, and
once more the health department will be
confronted with the question of where to
house patients. Thousands of vaccine
points were distributed, and every effort
has been made to check the spread of
the scourge. In one district in the south
ern portion of the city, where twenty-five
cases were discovered yesterday. the pest
was declared epidemic.
Two public schools were closed about
one week ago. and yesterday the Ke-shaw
school, at the corner of Winter and Gath
streets, in Englewood, was closed on ac-
count of the prevalence of smallpox in the
immediate vicinity. The Long fellow school,
on Thropp street near 10Th street, was re-
ported closed yesterday. Anna T. Dudley,
president of the Visiting Nurses Associa-
ton, has offered to furnish the health COM
mlssioners with number of nurses.

WILCOX CONFESSES.
The Coin Clipper Tells on the Stand
of His Crimes,

The trial of James L. Wilcox, alias Joseph
Foster, and his wife, Eta, for Tightening"
gold coins, was resumed in the United States
district court at Baltimore yesterday morn
ing. Wilcox confessed that he had been en-
gagged in filing gold coins and selling the
filings and exchanging the coins for bank
notes since November last. He had done the
work. he said, in New Orleans, ST. Louis
New York and Philadelphia in which places
he worked under the name of Edward Nc
Kewen.
In Denver and Kansas City he passed I'M
der the name of Henry Mason, and in Balti-
more assumed the maiden name of his wife,
Foster, because he knew the Chicago detec-
tives were looking for him. He said that he
served two years and a half in the peniten-
tiary of Wisconsin for perjury. He bought
up pelts of wolves and obtained the bounty
in various counties by swearing that he kill
ed the animals. When released from the
penitentiary ne engaged in the real estate
business, and on November Is, 1893, had
$4,000, honestly made, to his credit in the
First National Bank of Chicago. This
amount was lost in specializing at the board
of trade of Chicago. and then he went to
shaving" coins. He brought to Baltimore
from Philadelphia about 500 in lightweight
gold coins and some filings, which he got
rid of at Baltimore.
