worst of the lot, however, looked honest
and mild tempered compared to that
fellow they had elected as captain. He
was giant in statue, as dark as a Span

wild beast. We were so near that We
could look into his eyes and catch his
ferocious expression, and think every
man of us realized that he would have
to be killed before the brig could be
taken. The defiant attitude of the con

embarrassing position, but after mo

The Manner Of the Election
in the Tenth Ward.

and he Facts.
The Petitioners Have the Evidence
Necessary TO Prove Statements.

A petition signed by taxpayers and
electors IN the Tenth Ward Will be pre-
sented 20 the Board OF Aldermen tomor-
row afternoon. IL will represent that
gross election frauds were pefpetrated in
the Tenth Wari at the last municipal
election, and that the law was openly vio-
lated by election officers, wardens and
supervisors.
Thai The doorn OF the ward room In the
first district were closed after the clos
ing OF the polls during the count, and
that The count was not conducted in open
public meeting as required by Section IA
OF Chapter 10 OF the Public Statutes.
That the warden of the second district
refused to administer the oath TO electors
asking for the assistance OF supervisors,
although requested To do 50 by an election
officer, ia violation Of Section % OF Chap
ter S9i OF the Public Laws.
That Supervisor John j. Leaffey of the
second district, while engaged la assist
ing il.iterate voters, requested them not to
vote for James III. Mcdann, candidate for
Alderman, ,on the ground that they would
be voting for a Republican, in violation oil
Section 28 OF Chapter 894. That ballot
was stolen and carried out OF the ward
room in the hrst district sSt
in the second district. That ballots
were received by District Clerk Murray

That the names OF persons were illegally
placed upon the voting list by the board
OF canvessors of the ward which had no,
been transferred from other wards, and
their names therefore were upon two
voting lists.
The petitions declare that such gross
open aud deliberate violations OF Ian
should not be suffered to pass unnoticec
and uncondemned.
They therefore spectfully ask the hon
orable Board of Aldermen TO appoint {
committee OF its members to investigate
the charges and the petitioners Will pro-
duce the evidence TO substsntiate the
facts, and that such action be taken n:
shall be determined by the Board with I

tory OF lndianOIa.
Nominations Gent 90 the Senate by
President Cleveland Today.

WASHINGTON, Dsc b.--Within the next
month the government will be called up
on to pay s2,352 900 OF Pacific Railroad
bonds. 1t will bo the first payment made
by the Goyernment on these bonds issued
years ago TO subsidize the building Of the
roads across tho continent. They ran
for long terms, and these terms are now
about to mature. The S2,0O0,00O next
month will DO followed by another $1,000
D)0 next November. The railroads are
primarily responsible for the payment OF
those bonds, but as they we're issued and
guaranteed by the Government, Congress
has anticipated, by ITS effort TO fund or
extend the debt, that tie Government
would have TO meet the maturing bonds.
Chairman Reilly, OF the House commit
tee on Pacific railroads does not believe
that a solution OF the Pacific roads debt
can be reached at the present short session
OF Congress.
The committee labored with the prob
lem throughout the last session, and
evolved bill, known as the Reilly bill by
which a settlement satisfactory to the
Government and the roads seemed
possible. The bill is now on the calendar
but the interests involved are so vast that
Mr.. Reilly does not believe they would be
passed upon during the hurry OF a short
session, although he would be glad to
have his bill enacted.
II is probable, therefore, that the Pa
eifc roads problem will be inherited by
the Republican Congress, assembling a
year hence. 1t will then be an imperative
question which can no longer be
deferred as two issues OF bonds will have
mstured before the next Congress open Z.
II will be necessary therefore TO arrange a
speedy plan of funding or extending the
bonds, or else provide for their payment.

Review of Yesterday in Brief.

London prices came in considerably
lower, the Presidents message having ap-
parentiy been unfavorabiy received there
and our market opened heavy in sympathy
With the interest again centering on Sugar
and the Granger shares. The course OF
Sugar was again very surprising, the stock
at hrst breaking aud then advancing
rapidly on efforts OF anxious shorts to re-
cover. Although nothing was known a. 10
on the dividend and talk in
regard to the future OF the company
continued Us gloomy as ever, prices we're
nevertheless wonderfully well main
tsined throughout the day. Next TO
sugar Chicago Gas was the most import
ant feature on the bull side, The stock
improving rapidly in the early desiipgs,
ana sgain later bn the day on ntnipuia-
tion which may have proceeded from
Keene interests. There was zothing new
III regard To the property, although
the advance msy have been based on .
kno~lsdgs In regard 20 the dividend. The
movement OF the Granger group was
puEtie TO the street, a. the different shsres
moved ia opposite directions and the
besr party were apparently active IN de-
pressing one group While buying another.
ST. Paul was the weak point, the
stock having - -4+S--dGp prcsAeQ
Ina London aud hammered further by bear
operators here carly in the day. North
west also lost some advance, but 4. B. &.
O. was surprisingly hrm snd Rock ls-
land also developed q better tone
on light dealings. The closing was very
irregular with gains OF importance In
Chicago Gas and sugar. and fractional
advances for some OF he grangcrs. Losses
we're recorded An st. Paul and Northwest.

PLOT TO BURN CHICAGO.
A Confession of "a Man Under Arrest
duplicates Anarchists.

A gigantic anarchist plot of the Hay
market stripe has developed from the arrest
of the anarchist arson conspirators in Chi
cago. Nine of the persons implicated are
now under arrest, though the leader, John
Baumann, has escaped. He is now believed
TO be ia Philadelphia or Pittsburg, where it
it known he had friends.
In the discovery of the plots of these men
and women the detectives EMPLOYED nv the
fire insurance companies now see the reason
for the many mysterious fires in that CITY
and Milwaukee during the past year. That
the recent disastrous fires i'm the lumber
districts of Chicago were caused by these
anarchists the fire officials have no doubt.
They had organized new society known
as the Black Hand for the burning plan.
1t is an outgrowth of an organization of the
same name which existed in New York
some years ago. The leaders of the nresent
band of incendieries were members of In
eastern BODY but when the latter was
broken UP py the police they went to Chi
cago. -i
In New York the BLACK Hand" burnaa
many buildings. Its work was only dis
covered through an Investigation into ~.
cause OF tenement house fire in which two
persons lost their lives. This fire was traced
to members of the BLACK Hand and ~
leaders of the order were given long terms
in prison. Baumann ESCAPED and came =,
with the local reds" The ultimate inten-
ton OF the society, it is declared, was 10
start several fires in the city, get the entire
department out and then fire an upnrotac,aS
section of the city.
The lumber district was to be the seat of
the big fires, and the north side the nlace
to be attacked with firebrands when the
north side engines had been forced to go 10
the lumber district. This stroke was To he
made some windy night, and IL is now ~.
firm belief that the second big lumber ward
fire was part of the program, rs an immense
business block on Van Buren, street was set
ablaZe in some mysterious manner about HE
time the fire broke out in the lumber dis
trict.
The wind was blowing a gale that night
too, and 1t is a miracle the city was mot &c,
stroyed. The plan was to be carried out to
create work for the unemployed, the mem
bers of the anarchist society claiming th.,,
to burn the city would do away witt thc
Industrial depression. One of the prisoners
has confessed enough to convince the au-
thorties of the truthfulness of the fora-
going statements.
