MISS adams ACTIVE.
She Has Been East Investigating Sanitary
Systems of other Cities.


CHICAGO, May 10.-Miss Jane Addams
the industrious inspector of the Tenth
ward, yesterday returned from her brief
trip east, where she has been making
notes of the scavenger system of New
York, and again has her sleeves rolled
up ready for business.
Miss Adams was enthusiastic in her
advocacy of the iron boxes and carts for
holding garbage that are in use in New
York. The wooden contrivances in vogue
in Chicago she considers menace to the
health of the community.
New York" she continued, spends
more money for its street cleaning than
Chicago and the result is that it goes on
every day and the city is kept in q far
more healthy condition"
Owing to pressure of time, Miss Add
ans was compelled to forego visiting
Boston, as she had originally planned.

SENATOR GIBSON SUCCEEDS.
He Wins n Big Victory in the Talbot
County Primary.

Easton. Nd, June 9.-United States
Senator Charles II. Gibson scored an ap-
solute victory in the democratic primary
elections in Talbot county yesterday. The
county convention on Tuesday will NOM
mate three men who are unalterably in
favor of his reelection.
The fight was a particularly bitter one
all along the line, and in the Bay Hundred
district two conflicts occurred which may
lead to further trouble. a young man was
challenged at Whitman, but he was fina;-
ly allowed to vote. This so enraged Ira
K. Caulk, the anti-Gibson leader of the
district, that he snatched the. ballot box
from the judges and stamped it under
foot. He then picked up number Of the
scattered ballots and tore them up. A
general fight began and a number were
knocked down.
Another row occurred at Tilghman's
Island. 1t is stated that thirty tramps
were imported from Anne Arundal coun-
ty and voted. This act preciptated live
ly set-to which ended only when the cry
of murder rang out on the air Mr.. Sey-
mour, a Gibson man, was cut in the
breast, but not seriously injured.

mated that an organized educational
movement was what was necessary TO

TO reopen the tariff question again. They
see they would gain nothing by that. The

Mr.. Whitney does not think that any of

tion. II was suggested that there would
probably be hard work for him to do in

WOrkingmen Not Allowed to Hold a
Meeting ON the Printer.

Vienna, June 9.-Ten thousand working
men attempted to bold a meeting in the
Prater at 10 o'clock this morning, but
great force of policemen, on horseback
and on foot. prevented them. A large
number of the crowd then went into two
saloons on the Prater, where speeches
were made. Herr Engelbert Bernerstor-
fer, radical member of the Reichsrath tn.
and the socialist leaders spoke against the
ministry's franchise scheme and insisted
upon the right Of public assembly. The
police made several attempts to silence the
speakers, and finally arrested the leaders.
The crowd then became greatly excited,
and it was necessary for the police to fight
their way out with their prisoners. The
officers used their sabres freely. A charge
was then made on the crowd in the Prater
Strasse, which was soon cleared. Later
the mob gathered again and paraded the
streets. 1t was feared that an attack
might be made on the public buildings
and strong forces of police were detailed
TO guard the ministerial offices and the
