REPUBLICAN COUNCILMEN HOPs
ING TO ELECT A CLERK OF
THEIR ILK.
WOULD NOT BE PARTICULAR
AS TO THE MAN. IF HE WE'RE
ACCEPTABLE TO TWO OF
THE DEMOCRATS,
GAME LIKELY TO BE BLOCKER
Little Danger of Any Republicans
Securing the Coveted Po-
sitiOn.

AS the day designated for the elec-
scheme of the Republican membersi
of the city council becomes perfectly
apparent. These Republicans arel
nothing if not partisan. In this con-
test their watchword has been and
still is, 1--WE shall do anything to
get any Republican city clerk" So
long as he is a Republican no ques-
tions will be asked. Name the Re-
publican you prefer" is their cry to
the Democrats who have opposed Mr.t
Prendergast, "and we will nominated
him. h
The fact is, that the Republican,
councilmen are desperately bent uponi
causing disaffection among the DEM
ocratic members in order that they
may accomplish their partisan purf
pose.
The mere rumor that there was
some difference of opinion among the
Democratic members over the cityl
clerkship was sufficient to bring to thei
front several Republican candidates.
for that office, for Republicans are
not averse to holding office, even Re-
publican aldermen, one of whom is,
a hustling candidate for this Veryl
office. They have been clutching at
straws ever since Mondays caucus,f
and host of candidates has risen up,
and stretched out hungry handsfor the
$4,000 job. There are onlya few names,
however, that have as yet received,
serious consideration at the hands Of,
the Republicans. Prominent among
them are Aid. Milham and NJ. J.
Bell. 1t is also limited that a number
of the assembly would not refuse
nomination for the comfortable office
if assured of receiving the additionall
Democratic votes necessary to an
election.
The Republicans will undoubtedly.
hold a caucus prior to the election, J
which will occur next Tuesday after
noon. They will endeavor at that
caucus to nominate man who they
think will receive at least one Demos
cratic vote. y
But history has been known to re-
peat itself. These astute politicians!
thought that two Democrats would
betray their party and vote for Leon
T. Chamberlain, the Republican cam
didate for city attorney, but they did
not. The same crowd also expect that
their candidate for county commits
sioner C. r. Schacht, would likewise
capture two Democratic votes, but
he did not. 1t was the same in the
case of the election of justice OF
the peace to succeed Justice Shields
The Republicans cooked up scheme
to nominate Eugene Giberton, count
ing again on the division of the DEM
ocratic ranks, and for the third time
they were beaten. BY this time any
body can see through their htIe
game. y -

MAKING READY AT CHICAGO.
Preparations for Reception of the
Remains Being Made.


CHICAGO, May 2S.-No decided ar
rangements have been made for the
Gresham funeral, as the wishes of the
family are not yet fully understood.
United States District Judge John c.
Black will invite all of the federal
judges, the heads of all of the govern
ment offices and Maj Gen. Merritt, of
the army, to meet with him some time
tomorrow to arrange for participation
in the funeral services, and to receive
the president and his cabinet on their
arrival in Chicago. President Dent, of
the Chicago Bar association, has ar
ranged for the calling of a meeting of
the bar to express it's respect for the
memory of Judge Gresham. A special
meeting of the city council will be
held tomorrow afternoon at o'clock,
to take appropriate action upon the
death of the late Secretary Gresham.
The announcement in the press dis
patches that the remains will arrive
with escort in this city Thursday aft
ernoon furnished the impetus for the
special call. Mayor Swift desired that
the council take the initiat tive in the
matter, and the customary arrange
ments will be made at the meeting
tomorrow afternoon. The adoption of
resolutions and the decision as to the
action of the council as body will
be made at that time. All of today the
flag over the city hall was at half
mast, and it is probable that the mayor
will order the city hall closed the aft
ernoon of the day set for the funeral.

PRESIDENTS PROCLAMATION.
Injunction to Show Suitable Off,
cial Expression of Bereavement.
WASHINGTON. May 2S-The presi-

cial Expression of Bereavement.
WASHINGTON, May 2S.-The presi-
dent today issued the following:
A PROCLAMATION.
By the President: Walter o. Gres-
ham, secretary of state of the United
States, is dead. The president in max
ing this distressing announcement to
his fellow countrymen, speaks from
the depths of a personal affiiction to
remind them they, too, have lost
pure and able public servant, a wise
and patriotic guardian of all their
rights and interests, manly and loyal
American, and generous and lovable
man. AS a suitable expression of ma
tonal bereavement, l direct that the
diplomatic representatives of the
United States in all foreign countries
display the flags over their embassies
and legations at half mast for ten
days; that for a like period the flag of
the United States be displayed at half
mast at all forts and military posts,
vessels of the United States. I further
order that on the day of the funeral,
the executive departments in the city
of Washington be closed and that on
all public buildings throughout the
United States the national flag be dis
played at half mast.

HARMLESS FRosTs.
There Were Several of Them Dur
ing the Week.

The Minnesota crop bulletin, issued
yesterday, says:
The temperature, with the exception
of moderately warm spell on Thurs
day and Friday, has continued TN
usually cool. Severe frosts occurred
ON Tuesday morning in the south half
and on Sunday morning in the north
half of the state. Light and generally
harmless frosts also frequent on other
mornings. The cool, frosty nights, al
though more than offsetting any dam
age which wheat may have sustained,
by killing tender weeds, and favoring
stooling, have been detrimental to
other crops, setting them all back and
iniuring in the northern section a
little wheat, considerable barley and
oats, and over the entire state dam
aging corn, potatoes, flax, garden
truck and fruit. Crops in low places
have suffered most and considerable
replanting in these localities has had
to be done, but in most cases they will
revive under the influence of warmer
weather. The'week has been generally
deficient in moisture, the only rain
fail of consequence being unevenly
distributed; showers on Friday night
and Saturday, which were sufficient
in the west central portion of the state
only and which did not extend to its
extreme northwest corner, nor to a
considerably larger area in the south
east corner of the state. Winter rye
is heading slowly and in few places
has been badly damaged by frosts,
but on the whole it's condition is prom
ising Wheat is very thick on the
ground, but has made little upward
growth, and only waits the advent of
warmer weather and in few places
more rain before making satisfactory
progress. Pigeon grass and wild buck
wheat, at one time threatening to be-
come an important damaging factor,
have been set back and will hardly
recover sufficiently to do much future
harm. Early corn, potatoes and fax,
previously cut to the ground by the
frosts, are beginning to resprout, but
the late-sown is slow in terminating.
Oats and barley, like the wheat, are
stooling nicely and have made but lit
tie upward growth; the hay crop is re-
ported quite uneven but generally

WILL RESTRAIN THE TROOPS.
New Use for Power of Injunction
to BE Exerciscd in Nebraska.

OMAHA, Neb., May S.-If troops
are sent to Pender in an attempt to
interfere with the tenants of the Flour
noy Real Estate and Live Stock COM
pany they will be restrained by the
federal court. This is the sentiment
declared today by John F. Meyers, of
Pender, secretary Of the company,who
arrived in Omaha today. He says pos
itively restraining orders from the fed
eral court would face the federal sol
diers, and, in the event of failure in
the present plan of restraining blue
coat Intervention, the state court would
be asked to take a hand. THE set
tiers, almost to a man, will not va
cate" said Secretary Meyers; with an
an injunction on the troops, Capt. Beck
is powerless, and it is absolutely i'm
possible for him to cope with the sit
uation with his Indian police.
MANY settlers have sought to take
out satisfactory leases with Capt.
Beck, but he postponed action on the
request from time to time and now the
fact has leaked out that the has prom
ised all the land to other tenants This
has brought the men to the realiza-
ton that it is now a fight for their
homes, families and crops. That is
life, and show me the man that would
not fight for his life. We propose to
compel Capt. Beck to wait Imtil the
courts settle the thing. l think his
game is all bluff anyway. If it is not
and he attempts to use any of his am
munition on white settlers you will
see some lively times around Pender.
We want to settle this thing In the
courts. The crops are looking fine on
the reservation and the settlers do not
propose to give them up. The ndict-
ment of Sheriff Mullin has widened
the breach between the county officers
and the Indian police at Pender, and
it is. thought quite likely that the next
attempt made by Capt Beck to evict
tenants will result in a trip of Sheriff
Mullin and a posse to Winnebago
agency with the avowed object of
placing the Indian agent under arrest"

ISSUANCE OF OFFICIAL ORDERS.
Active Preparations Being Made to
Carry Out Funeral Arrange


AS soon as the order of proceedings
had been arranged and the president
and cabinet had been informed, the
meeting of the cabinet dispersed and
official orders and notices, began to
issue to provide for the execution of
the programme.
First Acting Secretary Uhl sent out
to all the legations in Washington this
notice: ''It becomes my painful duty
to inform you of the death of the Hon.
Walter Q. Gresham, secretary of state,
which occurred at his residence in
this capital, at Is minutes past
o'clock, this morning, after painful
illr.ess of four weeks duration. l shall
have occasion to notify you in due sea-
son of the date of the funeral ser
vices.''
The information referred to in the
last paragraph was furnished verbally
by Mr.. Hayward, Mr.. UhPs private
secretary, and later in more formal
style by a note, inviting the diplomats
to attend the funeral ceremonies. The
acting secretary of state also sent
general cablegram to all United States
embassies and legations abroad, sup
Elementary to the brief notice sent
last night, adding a direction to place
all flags at half-mast for ten days,
which order the ministers were in
structed to repeat to every United
States consulate in the world. Then
Secretary Herbert provided for the due
observance of the occasion by the navy
through the following order: cat all
navy yards and stations, colors will
be half-masted and will be so displayed
until after the final interment at Chi
cago of the secretary of state"
The bureau chiefs of the navy de-
partment were instructed as follows:
1.-The secretary of the navy desires
that all chiefs attend the funeral of the
late secretary of state at 10 a. M, May
20, in the East room of the executive
mansion. Uniform, special full dress"
Next an order was sent to Col. Hay
wood, commanding officer of the ma
rines of the navy yards, as follows:
"Send an officer to report Immediately
to Gen. Ruger for instructions as to
what part of the marine corps will take
part in the funeral of the secretary of
state tomorrow. Marines will assem-
BILE with band at 9:15 o'clock on La
fayette square"
During the afternoon Gen. RuSef
was perfecting his arrangements for
the military portion Of the programme.
He sent orders to Washington barracks
and Fort Meyer to have all available
troops in line to participate in the
funeral parade, and a place will be re-
served for the militia of the District
of Columbia, insuring a creditable
military display. Orders were sent by
Secretary Lamont's direction to all
military posts to place their colors at
half-mast, and salutes will be fired dur
ing the funeral services.

RUM0R OF A STORM.
Story That Two Lakes Were Wind
Swept.

At o'clock this morning rumor
sprung up that a cyclone had swept
the shores of Lake Gervais at the
scene of the death-dealing tornado of
July 13, 1891 The rumor spread like
wild-fire, and soon newspaper men
were rushing hither and thither in
hacks and cabs calling up every little
country point that afforded the lux
ury of telephone. No information
could be obtained indicative of any
truth in the rumor. A message from
North st. Paul said a big storm had
passed over Lakes Kohlmann and
Gervais during the afternoon, and
that several trees had been uprooted.
No loss of life, however, was reported.

Resolution.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, May 2s.-Both

Considerable clover and timothy have
been damaged by frosts, and in low,
dry places the meadows are reported
brown. Pasturage is generally re-
ported sufficient. Apples and plums
are dropping badly and the injury
they and small fruit have sustained
is greater than at first anticipated.
Complaints of damage by insect are
much less than usual, with cutworms
in the lead.
