They March in a Body to the state House
and Petition the Legislature for
Labor.

BosToN. Feb. 2l.-Five thousand un.
employed made a demonstration on the
common yesterday afternoon which at
one time threatened rot In an ugly
mood they crowded into the state house
and adjoining grounds and demanded
immediate aid. The governor addressed
them from the state house. He was re
ceived with applause. though he made
no promises. An attempt was made by
the leaders to get petition before the
Legislature. then in session. 4 large
force uf police was called out to guard
against trouble. The leaders tried To
get into the Legislative hall to present
their grievances while the crowd re-
manned outside
NJ. |. Swift anarchist and spokesman
OF the mob. appeared at the balcony and
announced that the legislature refused
10 accept the petition. The crowd then
broke into yellsof ierision and contempt.
Then Swift launched into a TRADE Of
abuse of the legislature His threat TO
clean out the state house was received
with shouts Of appreciation. The agita.
tors then had To lie satisfied with a talk
with some individual members and then
quie,ed considerably. Meanwhile the
house of representatives had remained
IN session, and upon the advice Of some
long headed members considered the
petition Of the mob. Ii was decided to
appoint committee Of seven TO meet
representatives. of the unemployed TO
consider ways and means for relief
Speaker Mayer sent a message to the
crowd. apprising them Of this decision:
and IT appeased them greatly.
4 special detachment Of police arrived
at the side entrance TO the state house
They entered and began forcing the mob
slowly towards the big front doors.
Clubs were drawn, and the disgruntIed
crowd gave way. Then there was anup-
roar and many desperate members urged
an attack upoa the legislature. but the
advice Of the more sensible prevailed.
and the crowd slowly retreates. The
police forced them steadily back. but
Just outside the gate the disappointed
workmen refused to move further
Finally the captains Of the various po.
lice divisions held L hurried consultation
and decided to drive them still further
back. The crowd slowly retired across
Beacon street and finally halted in the
common. No attempt was made to take
another stand. and the men slowly dis
banded.
A committee was appointed to see
Gov. Greenhagle and present to him
petition asking him to formulate and
put into operation some plan to alleviate
suffering. They also asked for state
farms and factories. where the unem.
ployed might work, and appoint per-
manent commission TO attend to the
wants of the unemployed. His excellen-
cy read the petition and then went out
and addressed the assembled crowd, ex.
pressing sympathy for them. and told
them just what he could and could not
do for them. His talk gave no satisfac-
tion and some hissed. but a majority ap-
plauded.
The demonstration was complete
surprise. and the force Of police at the
scene WAS small or it would have ended
sooner.

CHICAGO, April 5.-Illinois cities as a
rule show heavy Republican gains. In
Chicago, the Republican majority in
the council is increased by three. At
Springfield the Republicans made a
clean sweep, electing eight alderman
and the township ticket. Rock Island
also elected a Republican ticket.
At Peoria 6,757 votes were polled in
the town election, and with the excep-
ton of Howard the entire Republican
ticket was elected by 700 to 1900 ma

was elected by 1000. He was the only
A. P. A. on the Democratic ticket.
There was no trouble at the polls.
Danville, Bloomington, Joliet, Ke.
vance, Decatur, Champaign, Vandalia,
Monticello, Nation, S~treator, Rock
ford and many other places report
sweeping Republican victories.
At Springfield the Republicans carried
every ward in the city for aldermen and
elected their entire township ticket by
700 to 1900 majority, also 10 out of II
supervisors.
Clinton, Champagne, Dixon, Illipolis,

DEPRIVED OF SWAMP LANDS.
s~ifty-three Thousand Acres Claimed by
MinnesOta Cancelled.

Minnesota Cancelled.
WASHINGTON. April 5.-The commits
sioner of the general land Office has
sent a letter to the officers of the Mar
shall land Office directing the cancella-
ton of the states claim to some SO, 900
acres of lend in the old Henderson land
district which was selected by the state
under the swamp land act. The lands
are located in ry county in the Third
congressional district. They had been
entered or sold prior to 1850, when
the swamp act was extended to
Minnesota, and the claim of the state
all these years has simply been a cloud
on the title of the lands now all occu-
pied by farmers and many of the de-
scriptions being highly improved. The
state has never pressed its claim and the
cancellation is part of a general move
in the land office to clear it's records.
A portion of the presumption entry Of
Mr.. Archibald Phillips in town 81,
range II, across Vermillion lake from
Tower, is held for cancellation, as the
land was selected 10 years ago by the
state under the Salt Spring grant.
