ILLINOIS ELECTIONS.

Swift Elected Mayor of Chicagosby Al, OO(
Plurality.
CHICAGO, April 3-Tho Tribune has
full figures on tho city election which
give Swift 4l,1l0 plurality. Civil ser
vice reform carried by 5000.
CHICAGO, April 3-The municipal cam
paign in this city closed with an election
rarely surpassed for the intense interest
taken in it by the people and the press
The result Is, as to mayor, a very decisive
victory for the Republican candidate
George b. Swift. The other two impor
tant issues of the fight were the council
and the civil service reform law. This
law, which provides the merit system fol
all appointive offices in cities and
towns, has to be adopted by popular
vote in each city before it can be law in
said city. There seems no doubt of its
adoption here by good majority.
The law was part of the platforms of
both parties. AS to the rest, returns at
hand at this writing indicate
that the Republicans have obtained a
complete victory, electing Swift for mayor
by plurality close to 10000, so precincts
out of total of 93S giving Swift l26, 6l5
and Wenter 49, 900. In addition to may or
the Republicans have returns indicating
the election of their candidates for asses
sor, collector, supervisor and town clerk,

Republicans have certainly elected sixteen

Receiver McNulta Says He Was Interested
in the Morris Contract.

CHICAGO, April 2-General McNulta,
receiver of the whisky trust, has filed a
lengthy petition in the United States cir
cult court asking that the Nelson Morris
slop contract be annulled by the court. In
his application General McNulta AYERS
that President Greonhut, of the trust, is q
partner with Morris in the contract,
though the contract purports to have been
made solely with Morris. The receiver
also charges the contractors with having
failed to make just report of the profits
of the business, and says that an account
ing will show that they are indebted TO
the trust in a considerable amount. Tho
receiver desired to have the contract de-
clared illegal for the purpose of heading
off a suit for $3.50, 600 which Morris has in
stituted against the trust. The contract
was made on Feb. "a, 1892, for term of

Indicated.
y Santos is an American citizen, who was
imprisoned and despoiled of his property
by the Ecuadoreans in 1884 and 1885. At
one time this led to serious trouble be-
tween the United States and Ecuador,
and it was necessary to send United
States warships to Guayilo to secure San
itos' release. A claim for indemnity was
preferred by our government which Ian
guished many years, and it was not I'M
til 1894 that the final notifications were ex-
changed for treaty, but the claim was
to be submitted to arbitration.
By the terms of this treaty the British
Minister at Quito was to be requested to
act as arbitrator, or in the event of his
declination he was to name the arbitra-
tor. There was no further provision for
the selection of the arbitrator, and this
may prove to have been an important
omission, for news has reached here that

SAN FRANCISCO, March 27.-Fair's
--latest will, the one produced by Mrs.
N ellie Craven, will be contested. Who will
be the contestant this time? That ques-
ton has not vet been determined, but it
looks as il some of Fairs brothers and
sisters and their children who were the
residuary legatees under the Goodfellow
wil-would range themselves against
Charles Fair, Mrs. Oelricns and Virginia
Fair. The attorneys for the trustees
inkling of their plan of campaign. 1t is
known that they are carefully coming the
legal position of each eligible contestant
with a view of selecting the one that
offers the least surface for attack by the
guns of the enemy. No one doubts for
moment that the one selected will be UNI
mercifully hammered, legally, personally
with the tecnnicalites OF the law; hence
the careful preparations now being made
to guard the one leading the attack.
The plain, cold proposition submitted
to the court will be, is this the last will OF
James G.. Fair? The children will claim
that it is. The trustees under the first
will filed will claim that it is not. Each
side now laughs immediately at the
claims of the other. Both camps are
humming with life. On the outskirts the
freebooters OF the law are westinghouse

children of the deceased that have
cropped up since the report spread that
everybody has chance" So far not
one of them has let slip even a hint that
he proposes to contest. AS far as is known
none of them have collected enough proof
even to make it worth while to sell out.
The people interested in the Gregory child
are wrangling fercely. among themselves
and making all sorts of charges. Letters
are pouring into the city from Carson
and Sacramento with stories for and
aginst Miss Iampman, the reputed wife
OF James g. Fair, Jr.
Each side has a small army hard at
work over the Craven will. Out of the
laboratory of the lawyers of the children
comes the report of the writing experts
that the will is undoubtedly in Fairs
handwriting. Out of the laboratory of the
attorneys for the trustees comes the report
that 1.-THE alleged will is one of the worst
pieces of humbug that a tyro in forgery
ever turned out. Next Tuesday morning
the lawyers will gather again before
Judge Slack for the preliminary skirmish
over the Craven will.

Sergeant Haywood has been suspended
from duty, and it is said that several Sc
rious charges will be made against him.
The police committee claims to have di-
rect proof that for some years past all
fuel used by him has been taken from

house by prisoners. He also had his
house connected with the electric light
system at the police station and never
paid a cent for light, the same being
charged to the city. There are two spe.

but it is understood that others of a graver
nature will be brought forward shortly.
The conduct of certain other officers will
also probably be investigated.

found dead in his cabin on the outskirts
of the city late last night. A large wound
was found on the head. Stains of blood
were also found on the floor and on an

found, and was lying on the bed. The

IMPRISONMENT OF A CONSUL
Governor Morrill, of Kansas Asks Uncle
Sam to Interfere
Trial Of United States Consul Walter In
rada& ascar by Court HartiaI Is
to Be Inquired Into

WASHINGTON, March 27.--1t was said
at the White House this afternoon that the
telegram from Governor Morrill, of Kansas
asking the President to take active meas
ures at once for the protection and release
of United States Consul Walter, reported
to have been unjustly imprisoned by the
French government in Madagascar under
sentence of court martial. had not yet
been received by the President.
The State Department has no confrma-
ton of the report from United States Con-
sui Weller at Tamatave, nor Mr. Camp
bell, our consul at Mauritius, which IS the
nearest cable point to Madagascar. 1T is
probable the Governors message may
cause the State Department 10 cable to
one of these consuls tor an account OF the
affair instead of waiting until report
comes to hand through the mails from
this remote point which IS thought
might be sufficient in an ordinary case
would hardly meet the requirements OF a
case involving the imprisonment OF an
American citizen.
Governor Morrill's coyrse in addressing
himself directly to the PRESIDENT in such
a matter is said to be unusual. but may
perhaps be based upn the precedents set
by the state department in calling upon
the Governor of louisiana and the Gov
ernor of Colorado recently to protect cti-
zens of foreign gCuntries within their re-
spectiye states, There seems to be an i'm
preston, baseS on letters said TO have
been written ~ Mr.. Walter to friends in
this country as well as TO the state de-
partment, fenouncing his citizenship,
that he hi lost this citizenship.
No suci letters have been received at
the stat department, and if there was
any spsh communication in private let
ter it's said that it. would carry little
weiht. Mr.. Walter has the reputation
hes of being keen, alert business man.
