The elections in Chicago last week made
George B. Swift Republican, Mayor of that
city by 10000 majority. The whole Repubi-
can ticket went through with him. The Re-
pubicans gave themselves up to the dilirium of
victory, and crowds of 1000 in a body marched
through the City Hall with horns and drums.
Municipal and Township elections were held
throughout the State OF Illinois, with Republic
can victory in almost every city and town.

AT st. Louis, No. the election was for mem-
bers of the House of Delegates and Counclmen,
and the result has turned all the city Offices
but two over TO the Republicans. OF the %
members of the House of Delegates chosen, two
Democrats are elected, the remainder being Re-

elected TO the City Council, which will now
be unanimously Republican, as seven Republic

Pension Decisions.

Assistant Secretary Reynolds, of the Interior
Department. has affirmed the decision of the
Commissioner of Pensions in the case of An
geline COney, widow of John q. Coney. The
application was made under the act Of June
"a, 1890. which provides for the pensioning OF
any enlisted man who served ninety days in
the army navy and was honoraby dis
charged. Coney served as an engineer on a
vessel in the Mississippi Marine Brigade. The
Secretary holds that discharge of that brigade
does not constitute All honorable discharge as
contemplated in the act.
The Assistant Secretary has overruled the
decision OF the last Administration as to the
line of duty of soldiers. holding that a soldier,
being engaged in private business and not in
the performance of those things which the law
required of him as aimilitary duty cannot be
considered in the line of duty. The last Adj
mins.ration held very broadly in the matter
of line of duty. Any injury received by a
soldier while in the army was generally con-
sidered pensionablo In deciding the case of
Henry A Hilmer, sth Ind, the Department
holds that "riding a horse for personal pleas
ure against the protest of his Captain, who
warned him Of his danger in attempting to
ride fractions horse with whose habits claim
ant was already well acquainted, cannot be
, regarded as in any manner connected with
claimants military duty"
