CHICAGO, April lat a late hour
tonight it was impossible to give any
summary of the result OF the elections
throughout the state. The elections
were for the most part on strictly local
issues, aud in many places citizens
tickets, in which both Republicans and
Democrats combined, were In the field.
The absence af any special feature IN
the election makes 1t difficult matter
to Judge of the comparative strength
OF the two parties.
As far as can be estimated at o'clock
the Republicans have had decidedly the
best OF the election for the city and
town offices. out OF "a aldermen with
two wards yet to hear from, the Re
publlcans have elected II and the Dem
ocrats Is members of the city council,
while from two wards independent
candidates were chosen. The Republl-
cans have carried the elections in the
towns OF Hyde Park and Lake, and
In the north town as well. The DEM
ocrats appear to have carried the west
and the Republicans the south town
offices, but neither is sure as yet.
Strict party lines We're ignored in
many Of the aldermanlc contests, as the
municipal voters league was out for
scalps OF men It declared to be unsafe
men, 1t secured about three Out OF
every five scalps 1t sought.
IIATER--Out of thIrty-6Ve aldermen,
the Republicans to-day elected twenty,
the Democrats thirteen. and two inde-
pendents were chosen There are thirty
four wards in the city, but two alder
men were chosen in the Tenth there
being a vacancy In that ward. me
principal feature OF the election was
the effort OF the reform element to down
n number of the gang Of aldermen. The
refOrmers were successful with a ma
FORTY OF the men they were after but
they failed to secure the three or four
bright particular soalps they desired.
Party lines were not strong In a num-
her Of the wards and the reform move
ment had much weight.
The fight on the town officers was in
all Of the towns a straight party issue,
and the Republicans were uniformly
successful, carrying all the town OFFICES
by majorities ranging from 1000 to 4'Uoo'
The election was very quiet, save in
the First and Nineteenth wards,where
there were number Of fights and sew
erni shooting ARRAYS, nobody, however,
being seriously injured. Not over twen-
ty arrests were made during the day.
The returns from the aldermanic con-
tests show that the Republicans have
-on the total vote carried the city by
majority Of 10000.
At II o'clock returns from thlrty-tive
towns throughout the state show the
Republicans successful in thirty; the
Democrats in three and split tickets
elected in two The vote was entirely
on city and town officers and there was
no special issue IN any part Of the state
to call out strict party vote. All OF
the voting was on local matters.

A SILLY STORY.

Report that the Steel Trust Has an Ar
rangsmentWlth the Administration.
PITTSBURGH, Pa. April Icon
cernIng the story published in New York
this morning. that the administration
at Washington has formed a partial
and silent partnership with the big
steel trust, etc, President John G. "A.
LeIshman. of the Carnegie Steel Com
pany. said to a Post representative to-
night:
Many absurd statements have been
made concerning the purposes or the
steel billet makers organization, but Of
all these the one published to-day that
the Besselner steel makers had effected
an arrangement with the government
relating to the price Of armor plates Is
the most ridiculous and Is without a
parallel as an exhibition OF ignorance OF
the steel business Any one wlso knows
anything about the subjectat all must
know that soft steel does not enter
into the composition OF armor plate,
which is manufactured from open
hearth steel and the price OF steel bill
lets could In no wise Affect the price OF
armor.
"0nly two OF the concerns represented
at the meeting Of Bessemer steel man
ufacturers IN New York last wceiSiman-
ufacture armor plate The matters un-
der discussion relate exclusively TO soft
steel billcts
~ may also add that II iS not tine In
tcntoH OF the billet manufacturers TO
exact unreasonable prices from the con-
surnerg. We shall simply ask what the
price Of raw materials Will justify"

WASHINGTON. d. c., April 1.-The
senate concurrent resolutions on the
Cuban question were delivered to Pri-
yate Secretary Thurber this morning
by Mr.. Platt, one of the executive
clerks OF the senate. Later in the day
they were sent to the state department,
as the law requires that such resolu-
tIons shall be printed in the book OF
laws annually published by the depart
tnent.
Secretary Olney called early at the
white house and remained in close con-
g@::,tStlon with the President undeterred
Gy a. notice that had been sent TO the
other members to the effect that there
would be no cabinet meeting to-day.
There is reason to believe that the
meeting would have been postponed re-
Eardless OF the appearance OF the
measles among the children at the
white house, In order to afford the
President an opportunity for private
elaboration with the chief member of
his cabinet, for there was story cur
rent, and II Is believed well founded,
10 the effect that the two were engaged
in the preparation OF u special message
80 Congress OF course this was tul-
medlately assumed to relate to the Gu
han situation and to be an exposition
by the President of the actual state or
affairs on the island as revealed In the
reports OF the United States consular
officers and other trusted sources OF In
formation. There Is a resolution be-
fore the President, passed at the In
stance OF Senator Hoar. OF Massachu-
setts. calling for this Information.
1t is reasoned that the President. in
transmitting the information asked
may feel 1t his duty, in view OF the
overwhelming majority by which the
Cuban concurrent resolutions passed
both branches Of Congress, to come out
with a plain statement of the reasons
that influenced him IN preserving un-
moved the position he has assumed to-
ward the insurTection in Cuba,
This view Of the matter, Of course,
applies only so long as the President
Is left free TO decide upon the course
10 be followed by the government, since
it may be that he would take an en-
tlrely different View of the matter u
Congress should send to him joint
resolution emhOdying the features OF
tbePe concurrent resolutions, and as
stunned that by so doing the legislative
branch had taken the direction OF the
matter out Of his hands.
While 1t Is thought likely the Presl-
dent may send in message to Con-
gress in transmitting the Cuban lnfor-
nation requested, II Is not certain that
this message viii be more than for
NAL letter OF transmlttal.
There are good reasons why the con-
Eular reports should be handled very
Epardedly, since our consuls have to
continue resident In Cuba and the work
on which the President is believed to
lie engaged may be in the nature OF n
statement OF facts or summary of the
main features of the confidential con-
nlllnt. rhnnrfa

ers for foreign missions are those most
vitality involved in the threatened
movement of the Turkish governlnent
to expel missionaries from the Country.
When shown the dispatch from Son-
stantinople. to the Associated 1zress
to-day, covering the situation, KEY.
Judson Smith. d. D., secretary of tne
foreign department OF the board salo
that such n move on the part OF the sui
tan had been feared by those acquhint-
ed with the character Of that potent tate.
In view OF the possibility Of SUCH a
move on the part of the sultani Dr.
Smith emphasized the fact that the
United States government is publicly
pledged TO maintain the missionaries In
Turkey free from injury 10 themselves
and from distractions to their work,
aud he expressed confidence that the
authorities in Washington will deal Wig
orously with the issues lavolved.
In speaking OF the issues alluded to.
DR.. Smith stated that the indemnity for
loss OF property in Harpoot, EASTERN
Turkey, and Marash, central Turkey,
has not yet been paid. This amount Is
$4,000. The expenditures OF the Amer
ican board in Turkey represents S.
COO, 600, which DR.. Smith declares. shows
the American interests involved TO be
too great to be sighted either by the
American board, the United States gov
ernment or the public.
A vital point in the Associated Press
cablegram was the news of the imprls-
onnent OF Rev. Mr.. Knapp. Concern
ing this, DR.. Smith said:
"Mr. Knapp has the full confidence Of
the board. and the charges against him
ore disbefeved absolutely. and have al
ready been disproved, as have kindred
charges equally groundless that have
been made from time to time against
some OF the Rblest and most honored
missionaries who are still at their posts
in Turkey" i"

THE LOGICAL CANDIDATE
For the Democrats Is MIR. Cleveland, Says
Tie World.

For the Democrats Is MIR. CleNelAnuS Gays
the World.
NEW YORK, April THE World
will print a double-leaded editorial to-
morrow, in which It WIN ask whether
the logic of the political situation that
has led the Republican masses to sup
port Mckinley will not compel the
nomination of Cleveland by the Demo-
Gratis. The paper says:
''The World does not assert that this
IS so. 1t raises the question. 1t In
yites public discussion Of It.
$50 far as the World Is concerned In
this matter, It is entirely impartial,
judicial and impersonal. 1t has no spe-
cial partialIty for Mr.. Cleveland per-
sonally. as he will probably admit. 1t
has nothing to take back. But the
question is not of the past. 1t Is q
question Of the future.
Upon the issues OF the present and
future, not of the past, the World Is Just
MS free and sincere in suggesting that
Mr.. Cleveland seems to be the only logi-
cal candidate as It has been fearless and
faithful in admonition and criticism
whenever It has believed him to be
wrong.
ut is idle and might prove very un-
wise to ignore the fact that there Is a
deep-seated and widely prevalent pre-
iudice among our people against any
third term for any President. But It Is
still a question whether any unfounded
fear or prejudice can weigh at last
against the force OF events and the logic
OF circumstances"
