QUINCY REELECTED
DEMOCRATIC MAYOR OF BOSTON
AGAIN CHOSEN.
Majority Shows Decrease Over That Of
Two Years Ago-Expected Large
Vote of the Silver Candidate
Did Not Materialize.
Did Not Materialize.

Boston, Dec. 22.-Mayor Josiah
Quincy, Democrat, has been reelected
by decreased plurality over ex-Mayor
Curtis, his opponent of two years ago,
although the city went Republican at
the state election last month. The at
tempt to split the Democratic vote in
the city by vigorous work on the part
of Thomas Riley, running as a Silver
Democrat, proved futile. His rallies
were crowded and his audiences appar-
entity loyal, but less than 5000 voters
supported him at the polls, the Demo
Gratis, as a rule, remaining loyal to
Quincy. Notwithstanding the strong
effort which was made by the Repub-
licans to get out heavy vote in the
suburban and Back Bay wards, which
usually poll
Heavy Republican Majorities,
Mayor Quincy made great gains over
the vote Tor Williams at the state cleo
ton, while in some cases there was a
decided falling off in the vote of the op-
position. On the other hand, the usu-
ally strong Democratic wards, where
the registration for this election has
been very heavy, did not show any spe-
cial gains for the Democratic candidate
and Ill some cases there was decrease.
The surprise OF the election was the
small vote for Riley. Even in the
wards where he made his greatest eff
fort and where he was backed by young
politicians who claimed to have strong
following, only few were found in
his support at the polls, while in his
own precinct he received but two votes.

SUICIDE OF MISS HERBERT
Fall Frora Horse Developed Into Acute
MelanchOiia.

Fall Frora q Horse Developed Into Acute
Melancholia.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-The sudden
and tragic death of Miss Leila Herbert,
Oldest daughter of ex-Secretary of the
Navy Herbert, was great shock to the
large circle OF friends she had made in
the course Of Washington life. Several
months ago Miss Herbert was thrown
from horse while riding and her re-
covery has been exceedingly slow.
Three weeks ago her illness developed
into acute melancholia and, as is always
the case i'll this type Of disease,
there was great danger that sui
cidal tendencies would develop. On
Monday she made an attempt to get
out of the window, but was restrained
by the nurse. Tuesday morning Miss
Herbert severed the artery in her wrist
with pair of scissors and while her
attendant was giving the alarm escaped
from her room and leaped from third
story window, sustaining injuries
which resulted in death an hour later.
Was a Washington Favorite.
Miss Herbert was the oldest of ex-
Necretary Herbert's three children and
vas charming figure in Washington
society. She came with her father to
Washington when he was elected to
congress and at once took charge of his
household affairs, making the Herbert
home one of the most attractive and
comfortable in Washington from the
spirit Of true hospitality, which gave it
Of to- foc l,
ionable homes. When her father be-
came secretary of the navy in President
C!eveland's second administration,
Miss Herbert was called upon to take
her place ill the circle of cabinet ladies,
where she met with success the heavy
social responsibilities upon her youthful
shoulders. Socially she was exceed
ingly popular and her presence was
sought at ali gatherings. Her social
triumphs here were repeated in Europe
where she went to attend the great
naval demonstration at Kiel.

Eurprisin,- How Trade Keeps Up.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-United States
Consul Weber, at Nuremburg, Ger
many, in report to the state depart
ment, says it is interesting to note how
little the trade of that city with the
United States. has been affected by the
new tariff. In spite of large shipments
made in anticipation of the passage Of
the Dingley bill, the trade has gone on
increasing, mainly in hops, bronze,
powders, pencils and beer. The con-
sui says the December quarter will
show an extraordinary increase.

ANTIPATHY TO ENGLAND, I
Says a Glasgow Paper, an Active
Element In American
Politics.

Glasgow, Scotland, July 25.--The
Record today says editorially:
"The American politician who starts
jingo cry of enmity to Great Britain
never lacks champions in the press and
supporters in the country. We know
that an Irish-American faction inheri-
ted and cherished traditions of hostility
to this country, and that its voice is
not the voice of the nation, but we
know that American jealousy of the
old country is real and an active in
fiuence in the politics of the United
States, and that we have to reckon with
national antipathy not limited to en-
igrant Irishmen and their descendants.
When in doubt attack Great Brit
ain,' is the permanent motto in Ameri-
can political life. 1t is illustrated afresh
by Sherman's dispatch. Nobody minds
Mr.. Sherman. He is played-out poll
tician, an extinct force known to be
mentally and physically feeble, but it
is equally well known that Mr.. McKin-
ley's Presidency has failed to answer
expectations and that domestic discon-
tent is becoming ripe.
"Mr. Mckinley was to inaugurate
an era of universal prosperity. He has
done nothing of the kind. The obvi-
GUS rule of a Government in such a
case is to divert public attention from
home affairs by raising foreign COM
plications. The common practice of
American diplomacy is to make the
national grievance against Great Brit

TRUSTS IN CONTROL.
Domination Of the Republican Par
ty Palpable, Says Lon
don Panar.

London, July 25 "A pessimistic view
is taken by the Spectator of the condi-
tions likely to develop under the new
American tariff. 1t says
"Never before has the complete dom
ination of the trusts over the Republi-
can party been made 80 palpable to the
average man. Congress has been or
dered to protect the trusts, and has
obeyed. We find protection stripped
of its old pretensions and excuses. 1t
is reduced to bare mercenary aspect.
1t means the enabling of wealthy cor
porations to levy tribute upon the
masses and to use the powers of the
Government to enhance piles that are
already enormous. We believe that
with just cause behind them the Uni
ted States might safely defy all ma
chinations of hostile Europe; but in an
aggressive policy, dictated by selfish,
pecuniary interests, it must be said
plainly that the United States runs a
serious risk, and how fatal that might
be to all the higher interests of man
kind is abundantly clear. We trust
that all wise and right-minded Ameri-
cans will sound warning against this
bill. If the alternative for the Repub-
lie are to be on the one hand a policy
of jingoism and on the other a policy
of crude confiscation, then a very seri-
Gus crisis for order, freedom and
rational selfgovernment will have ar

believed that the railroad conductors,
firemen and brakemen will be asked to

There is some talk of general sympa-

with anything approaching even partial
favor. A boycott of West Virginia
coal in the event that the miners of
this state decline to join the strike will
be discussed at the conference.

MISTAKES IN TARIFF LAW,


The Treasury Officials Have Already

act, some Of them it is feared being in.
capable Of reconciliation. 1t is pointed
ont that section 1862 places the duty on
plums at % cents per bushel and Sec
tion 264 fixes the rate at cents per

as TO currauts was corrected in confer.

duty on hides of cattle at 10 cents a
pound and admits raw skins free.
The question involved is the Classif.
cation of calf skins, 1t being cOntended
that commercially calf skins are not
classed as hides of cattle and hence are
entitled to free entry, which is believed
to be contrary 10 the purpose of con.

fact that the provision as to licenses for
