MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS.
CHICAGO GIVES AN IMMENSE MA
JoRITY FOR THE son OF CAR
TER HARRISON.
He Receives More Votes Than All His
Opponents Combined Denver
Elects McMurray by q Decisive
Plurality-And One Bright Little
Town Somewhere Goes Republican.

Chicago. April 1.-THE. mayoralty
election today resulted in a decisive vic
tory for the democratic party, it's candi-
date. Carter H. Harrison, having more
votes than all the other candidates com
bined. The feature OF the election was
the strength shown by Harlan. He ran
second to Harrison, and although an
Independent. with nc organization be-
regular republican candidate, Judge
Nathaniel Sears. One thing that helped
Harlan was that Sears was looked upon
as being the nominee Of the republican
machine, which has grown unpopular in
the ranks of the local republican, party.
Harlan secured a heavy vote from men
who would have voted for the regular
republican nominee had 1t not been that
they wished to express their opinion Of
the machine. He drew some votes from
the democratic party but not many, the
main part Of his strength coming from
republican voters. The vote Of Hesing
was largely from the Germans and came
from both parties. He was the nominee
Of the gold democrats, although he went
before the people on a business plat
form. The democrats had an excellent
organization, the campaign was handled
we'll and as the republican ranks were
hopelessly split. the result was never
much In doubt. The campaign was
fought for the most part. strictly on 10
cal issues.
At midnight the available figures
gives Sears, republican. 10000; Harri-
son, democrat. 146. 900: Harlan, indie
pendent, 1900; Hesing. Independent,
1900. The democrats made q clean
sweep OF all town ofices in the West
town and North town and probable the
South town also. OF the "a aldermen
the returns point to the election Of rs
democrats, 4 republicans and 4 indie
pendents.

MADE MISERABLE BY "l3."

No more firm believer in the proverb-
ial bad luck associated with the number
l3 is to be found in the city than Con-
ductor Samuel Sharp of a Germantown
local train, says the Philadelphia Rec
ord. His parents had 13 children of
whom he was the youngest, and none
OF them ever prospered. AS the 18th
child, however, Samuel has had nor
troubles than any Of his brothers and
sisters. After countless mishaps during
his school days he started in to earn his
living as a newsboy on the cars when
he was Is years of age. One Friday, the
18th day Of the month, not long after
he entered the service, there was q wreck
on the road and he was laid up in a hos
pital with a couple of broken ribs for
l3 weeks.
Some years later, when a brakeman,
his uncle died and left him $1,000. but
just as he was about to get married on
the money the bank failed and he lost
it all, feeling, Of course, more disap-
pointed than II it had never been left to
him. Gradually he worked his way up
and became baggagemaster, and then
he did marry. Un%wittingly. however,
he went to housekeeping at No. 1913
South Thirteenth street, and his young
wife died within the year, leaving him
broken-hearted. Since he has been con-
ductor his train has run ove 10 men,
and he hopes that he has now reached
the limit. 1t is an utter im%possibility to
get him to punch the 18th trip on a
Communication ticket. and when hard
pressed he hands his punch to the pas
senger. with the request to do 1t for
him.

II LIDING POLE.
Very Handy to Use Going Down, but the
Stairs Still Used Going Up.

very AIHhuy 10 = pOlDR DOWn, DuG inc
Stairs still Used Going UP.
Firemen use the sliding poles in the
engine houses when descending from the
dormitory floors to the street floor about
their ordinary affairs just as they do
when hustliug down for a fire. 1t is the
quickest and easiest way to go, and nat
urally they go that way always. To u
man not Il fireman, however. and so un-
accustomed to it, the commonplace use
of the sliding POE seems at first strange.
He has Seen it usually, perhaps only,
from below, and the use of it is assOci-
ated III his mind with the sound of tho
gong, the pounding Of the horses hoofs,
the swapping of harness and the general
hustle of preparation. To see the firemel
come dropping down the sliding poles
into this scene of activity seems all
right. 1t seems like IA part of the gem
eral scheme. But if one who has been
accustomed only to seeing them como
down the poles in this way should hap
pen at Il time of quiet in the house to DO
on an upper floor, and instead Of seeing
firemen shoot into view should see one
suddenly and silently disappear, that
lbnt ploDaDly Noulu Nv Alist De surpIls-
ing to him.
At first it seems strange to see any
man, fireman or not, slide down a pole
to start for Lis dinner, for instance, but
that is what the fireman does, and it is
just the same if he is going below for
any duty in the house. He goes down
the pole habitually because that is the
simplest and easiest way to go. But no
doesn't go back that way. Easy as it is
to slide down the pole, it would be
mighty hard work to shin mp it. When
the fireman goes up, then, like every
body else he climbs the stairs.-New

VISITS THE WHITE
HOUSE.
He Has a Case in the Supreme Court
Mac Speaks OF Billy's Book, and
Billy Tells Him He Don't Have to
Read 1t Unless He Wants to-Mrs.
Mckinley Don't Know Him.

Washington. April 6.-There were
some important callers at the White
House this morning, before the cabinet
assembled ct II o'clock. First came
Senator Hanna of Ohio, who had just
return from Cleveland, whittier he went
to cast his vote at the municipal cleo
ton yesterday. He was with Mr.. Nc
Kinley half and hour. When he emery
ed he said, commenting upon the cleo
tons, that they were without any save
local significance. While Mr.. Hanna
was still in the White House, Mr.. Bryan,
the late democratic candidate for presi-
dent, called with representative McMill-
in of Tennessee and Attorney General
Smythe of Nebraska, to pay his respects
to his late opponent. They were I'M
mediately shown into Mr.. McKinley's
private Office. The president, who was
talking with a group Of gentlemen, ad-
vanced and the president and the candi-
date shook hands cordially. Mr.. Bryan
remarked upon the presidents apparent
good health. and the latter said he had
seen by the newspapers that Mr.. Bryan
was here to argue a case before the I'm
tied States court. He also said that he
had received a copy Of Mr.. Bryan's book
a few days ago. bu, as yet had net had
time to read it.
"There is no law which compels you
to read it." remarked Mr.. Bryan smiling
ly.
After a further exchange OF courtesies
and ~pleasantries. Mr.. Bryan retired. He
expressed a desire to be shown through
the White House. and Doorkeeper Du-
bois conducted him through the various
parlors and the conservatory. In the
main corridor. just as he was emerging,
he met Mrs. Mckinley, who was going
out for a drive, and saluted her cordi-
ally. Mrs. Mckinley acknowledged the
salute with a smile, but it is doubtful
whether she recognized him. On the
portico. while waiting the arrival Of the
carriage in which he had driven to the
White House, Mr.. Bryan was hesieged
with newspaper men, who asked for his
views on the Ohio and Michigan elec-
lions yesterday. They indicate that
has been restored" he said,
laughing heartily. "They need no ex-

ANOTHER BLOW AT HUNTER.

Frankfort, KY, April 6.-The news
from the Thirty-fourth senatorial dis
trict tonight that Hagar, the democrat,
has certainly won in the special cleo
ton to choose a successor to the de-
Leased Senator Sayler. has dashed the
one hope of Hunter and his supporters.
They hoped that Atchison, the repub-
lican, would win and PUT Hunter within
two, instead Of three, votes of an cleo
ton.
Tonight Blackburn's leaders, and the
leaders OF the whole free silver demo-
cratic forces, were gotten together in a
room at the Capitol hotel. With them,
in secret caucus, were Col. Albert Scott
OF Louisville, Hon. Augustus E. Wilson,
ex-candidate for congress for the Louis
vile district, who has been working to
defeat Hunter, ard, indeed, all the anti
Hunter republican leaders, except Gov.
Bradley, who vas in a oom below.
The republicans told the Blackburn
leaders that they were in earnest about
electing Bradley and allowing them a
race for governor this tall, also that I'M
less they (the Blackburn democrats)
showed down" or indicated some sort
OF good faith as to the Bradley coalition,
1t would be impossible to longer keep
the boiling or anti-Hunter republicans
in line against him. What the reply Of
the Blackburn men was cannot be posi-
lively stated, but one Of those present
says that the Blackburn leaders said
they were willing TO Join with the anti
Hunter people II the count showed he
could win. II is not believed. however,
that the Bradley coalition will ever show
the strength necessary 10 elect Bradley.
In the event of failure, the Blackburn
democrats, having shown good faith to
the Bradley leaders aud antf-Hunter re-
publicans. will ask them to continue to
hold out, and thus continue to prevent
any election. perhaps till the end Of the
session. Every one admits that Black
burn will be successful IL there is no
election till the new legislature Is elect
ed and comes here next winter.

Of Kansas were an important factor in
today's municipal elections, and a large
percentage Of the vote everywhere was
polled by women. In four OF the six
cities Of the first class In the state the
republicans we're victorious. Topeka,
the republican stronghold. went repub-

we're elected by small majorides, and
in Kansas city. Kan. Robert 8. Marsh
man, republican, is elected mayor by
probably 500 majority. and the republic

Leavenworth elected a democratic
mayor, owing to q republican split, and
at Fort Scott, the f%usionists elected q
majority Of their candidates. In these
cities the vote OF the women WIS pretty
evenly divided on party lines. Is the en-
forcement Of the prohibition law, in the
6rst class cities, is under the direction
of the metropolitan police oficers. In
several Of the second class cities, how
ever, the women made the enforcement
OF the liquor law a vital issue. The re-
turns, however, are not altogether nat
tering to the women. At Seneca the

WILL BE ISSUED.

Washington, April 6.-The cabinet
meeting today lasted a little over an
hour, and was devoted almost entirely
to the consideration Of the question Of
sending a special message, calling atten-
zion to the propriety and urgency for
legislation for the relief of the flood
sufferers. Secretary Alger presented all
kilograms in his possession from the
governors Of the states in the flooded
districts, and the president placed be-
fore the cabinet the data submitted to
him by the delegation which called yes
terday. 1t was the unanimous opinion
of the cabinet that n special message
should go to congress, which is o in
the course of preparation, and will go to
congress tomorrow.
The senate resolution, requesting the
president to protest to Spain against
summary action in General Rivera's
case, in the event that existing reports
that he has to be tried by durmhead
courtmartial, prove on investigation to
be true, was discussed.
The presidents trip on the Dolphin,
which was fixed for tomorrow, may be
delayed awaiting congressional action
on the special flood message. It is ex-
pected that a Measure for the relief Of
the flood sufferers will be Immediately
voted upon by both houses after the
message is presented, but IL there should
be q hitch Of any kind, it would neceasi-
tate the president remaining in the city
In order to afix his signature as soon
as possible after its passage.
