The New Republican Councilman From

At the special election in the Third ward to select a successor to the la e councilman, B. F. Zoeckler, John l.

 Notwithstanding the ward is demo- cratic, with majority in full vote ranging from ten to fifty, it was evi- dent from the opening of the polls yesterday that the candidates were running meek and neck There was an Impression from the beginning however, that Brooks would be elected Both candidates are popular in theil ward.

MINING IN PERU.
Col. W. J. Cotton Receives Advices
 From Minister Dudley.

Col. w. J. Cotton yesterday received a letter from his former ciassmate, Hon. Inving B. Dudley, lately ap- pointed minister to Peru. The letter IS in reply to inquiries made by Col. Cotton regarding mining matters in Peru. Minister Dudley believes that the mining future of that country is promising, but at present the country is in many places inaccessible and the conditions are such that mining can be carried on only with the aid of a large amount of capital. There IS only one great and we'll developed mine in the country. That is the San Domingo, which has lately been sold by MT. Hardison, formerly of Los An geles, for g600,000. The mime lies :n the department of Cavanaga.
 Speaking generally of mining con- ditions, MT. Dudley writes: ~'Of course this field should not attract the ordinary miner, unbacked by cap dtal, at present.. When opened up it is thought to offer exceptionally good returns, and perhaps a pioneer syn dicate would reap a large reward"

OHIO ELECTION OVER.
Though the Count Is Not Finished the
 Result Is Known.


 Columbus, O., Nov. 6.-The contest for control of the Ohio legislature is considered ended today. Official counting in some counties will con- tinus next week, but there has been such close watching that no matdrial changes are expected.
 The indications are that the senate will stand ninaoeen democrats and seventeen republicans, and the housa fifty-one democrats and fifty-eight re- publicans. There may be several con- tested seats.
 The only Important development iD the status of the new general assem- bly today was decision in the Wood county case, which once more removes that county from the doubtful list to the republican column. The court instructed the election supervisors ot Wood county to canvass uhe returns from the disputed precincts, which gives the election to Captain o. H Morris, the republican candidate for representative. The decision had a significance which could not be ex- pressed inasmuch as 1t put an end to both of lthe other contests on the same ground. Chairman Nash does not believe the case will be appealed by the democrats. since the law in Yhe case is plain.

 This is a question never before raised in Phoenix and at first many lawyers were inclined to believe that MT. ThaIheimaT's contention was sound. Even Judge Kibbey, the city attorney, was not sure in the begin ming that saloons outside the election precinct were required to be closed After deciding upon the meaning of the law he was doubtful of the city's power to regulate the closing of sa- looms. He found, however, that un- der general welfare' clause the ely is invested with this right.

THE SEAL TREATY.
The Agreement Between Russia, the

Washington, No. 6.-The convention between the United States, Russia and Japan looking to a joint protection of seals was signed at the state depart memlt to-day at 12:15 p. m. It will re- quire the ratification of the senate to become effective.
 The text of the treaty will not be given out by the state department un- til final notifications are exchanged, as the document must go to the senate for its approval. Custom requires that it be withheld from publication in this manner.
 It is said, however, by those con cerned that hhe general purpose of the trsaty has been already outlined in the press and it is likely that the only further interest is as to the exact na- ture of the additional restrictions to be Imposed upon pelagic sealing.

A SALOON CLOSING.
The Rigid Application of the Election
 Law Yesterday.

Among the interesting events of yes- dierday's election was the arrest of Joseph Thalheimer for keeping open
 his bar at the Central hotel during the progress of the election. The city
 ordinance provides that all saloons
 throughout the entire city must be
 closed at general and special elec- tions, even though the latter affect only a single ward of the city. MT. Thalheimer admitted keeping his sa- loon open, but insisted that under the territorial law he had right to do so, as that law, according to his conben- tion, only applied to the ''election dis trict or precinct of the county where an election is in progress" He fur ther cited a provision of the city char ter which states that leach ward shall constitute an election precinct for municipal elections" The court inclined to the view that the terri tOrial law applied onIy 10 territorial and county elections, whereas in a municipal election the city could reg ulate saloons throughout its entire limits even though the special election occurred i'm a single ward. The de- fendant was found guilty. He de clared that he would continue to keeI his saloon open in spite of his arres
 and conviction and in defiance of the ] city ordinance. Under such circum
 stances there was nothing left for tht recorder's court to do but inflict tht extreme penalty of the law, which wal

Judge Webster Street was yesterday appointed chief justice of the supr5mla court of Arizona to fill the vacancy caused by ithe death Of the late Judge Truesdale. The announcement Of Judge Streets appointment was madlo in Phoenix late in khe afternoon. Tne esteem i'm which the new chief justice is held at home was shown in ringing cheers which went up along Wash imgton strlaet as the news of the ap poinnmeut spread. The election board suspended business to join in the gen. enal jollification on Wall street.
 ate a great deal of surprise, however, for his friends had been confidently predicting his appointment in the evIenlt that it was made from anong the Arizona applicants. It is said President Mckinley had deteEmined last June to make Judge Street chief justice and had even made announce ment to supporters of the judge tha.
 
 plfcaltions arose, though, from the al most irresistible support of Judge Truesdale, who was appointed on June 26
 Judge Streets endorsements were largely local He had the tac.t, if not formal, support of the bar in nearly all parts of the territory and was be- side endorsied by most of the gentle men now holding federal or territorial offices in Arizona. Upon Judge Trues- dale's deaEh these latter endorse ments were regarded as tha solid sup port of the administration.
 The nhw chief justice is a native of Ohio. He is about 51 years of age and has lived in tlhe territory twenty years.
 He first resided at Kingman, after ward at Tucson and still Ia CT at Tomb stonIa in the early days He came to Phoenix twelve years ago and became associated in the practice of law With Ben Goodrich and afterward with Frank Cox. The latter partnership was maintained until three years ago, when Judge Street and Attorney Gen eral Frazier formed a partnership. During a part of his residence in i Tombstone he was judge of the county | court of Cochisei county. The county court held coordinate jurisdiction with the district court, so that many 1 important matters were adjudicalbed A suit involving certain properties ct the Copper Queen and one of the most 1 important mining cases ever brought in Arizona, was tried before him. His l decision in the matter was so compre- hensive and clear that the case was never appealed. Mark Smith said od him at that time that he was the ablesi judge before whom he had ever prac ticd.
 He has been a tireless politica worker. He has several times per mitted republican conventions in thi county to nominate him for office with
