Arnold launched into what our council.
men called stump speech. roasting the
IDEA oil municipal electric lighting from
start to finish. Mr.. Arnold arrived on
yesterdays afternoon train and asked
Tor time to put in his bid on that &C.
count. That il his own statement
while friends OF electric lighting in Han
cock claimed openly on the street after
the meeting that he had been in Hough-
ton since the evening previous. Mem
beers OF the council say that he was ex-
pected by them to appear and it was evil
dent that his purpose in coming was TO
make the argument be did rather than to
make bona tide bid. His bid was the
highest offered. la response to ques-
ton by the village engineer, Mr.. Hum
phrey, Mr.. Arnold was unable TO name a
town in Michigan where municipal light
ing had been failure, He claimed the
success oil many OF the municipalities was
due to the manipulation OF funds by ', H.
lage councils by which a profit was
forced to appear. The burden OF his
song was, What is eyerybody's business
is nobody's business"
Mr.. Chase, representative OF one OF the
bidders, was in favor OF municipal light.
ing, though he said he knew OF instances
where towns had lost money. This had
been due to poor machinery purchased
at the start, several years ago, and il
some cases to poor management on thu
part OF village officials and indeed tt
crooked manage ment. Mr.. Chase wal
not, however, prepared to let the verl
few failures change his mind in face OF tn
many instances OF towns success.
The councilmen presented very jade
appearance this morning, having wres
tied with unfamiliar subjects from
o'clock in the afternoon until midnight
with recess for supper. Their dream
had been nightmares OF watts and horse
power and volts and steam econom,
but they went to work manfully, neve
theess.
The council met again this morning 9
10 o'clock and decided to accept the bl
for $3,4O0 OF the Buckeye Engine Co
OF Salem. Ohio, for the steam plant.
These two bids amounting to 1910
including setting up the plant in Il
building provided by the village and ru
ming it for fifteen days before 1t WI

MICHIGAN ELECTIONS
Will BE Held TOday-Great Interest
in Detroit MayOraIty Contest


Detroit, April 4.-The elections which
will he held throughout Michigan tomor-
row will wind up quiet campaign so
far as the state election is concerned.
The only state officers to be chosen are
one justice of the supreme court and two
regents of the University of Michigan.
Judge Long, the republican candidate
for justice, confidently anticipates re-
election, although John l.. Appel, the
fusion candidate, is expected to at least
largely lessen the previous republican
majorities of last November. The con-
tests preceding the elections of town and
city officers have absorbed most of the
attention. The greatest interest prevails
throughout the state on the outcome in
Detroit for mayor to succeed eX-Mayor
Pingree, who was ousted from the office
by the supreme court. The republican
candidate, Capt. Albert e. Stewart, was
selected and recommended to the nomi-
mating convention by Governor Pingree,
and he is pledged to follow out the Pin
gree idea of reform. w. e. Maybury,
eX-congressman, and a leading attorney,
is the democratic standard bearer. He
is also pledged to reform measures, but
contemplates carrying them out by con-
sentative means, as against the more
picturesque methods of Pingree. He OPP
poses raising the bonded debt of the city,
which is one of Mr.. Pingrees cherished
projects. Both sides confidently claim
the city. The legislature, of which Capt.
Stewart is member views the stua-
ton with the greatest interest, and it is
considered that it will to a great extent
indicate whether the Pingree influence
and prestige is waning or gaining, not
only in the city, but also in the capital,
where several Of the governors reform

CHICAGO MAYORALTY CONTEST.

Chicago, April 4.-What has been in
many respects one of the most remarka-
BILE mayoralty campaigns in the history
of Chicago closed last night. Contrary
to general expectations national issues
have cut but little figure in the fight, it
having been almost exclusively on mat
tiers of local interest. Six candidates are
in the field, four of whom have made an
active canvass. They are Carter III. Har-
rison, regular democrat; Judge Nathan
G. l.. Sears, regular republican; Wash
ington Hesing, Independent gold demo-
crat: John NJ. Harlan, independent re-
publican: John Irving Pearce and Frank
Collier, Independents. On account of the
bitter fight which has been waged for
some time against the so-called republic
can machine. both Hesing and Harlan
will undoubtedly draw heavily from the
Mckinley vote, although it is impossible
to tell whether this virtual splitting up
of the republican vote among three men
will cut into McKinley's large majority
sufficiently to result in the election of
Harrison, who will have almost the en-
tire solid free silver support. The sup
port of Sears by two democrat labor pa
pers and the interest in League of Amer
lean Wheelmen circles over the issuance
of a circular indorsng Harrison by some
of its local members and the support of
Harlan by the middle-of-the-road popu-
lists are features of the campaign.

Secedes from l.. A. w,

San Francisco, April 4-The Califor-
mia Associated clubs have effected an or
ganization which practically sewers their
connection with the League of American
Wheelmen. a constitution and bylaws
were adopted, officers elected and the
clubs officially assumed control of tracks
and racing in the state of California. The
constitution differs in several important
particulars from the national league.
Professionals are debarred from member
ship and clubs are permitted to pay ac-
tual expenses of members participating
in club races in which the rider has no
personal interest, and the League of
American Wheelmen rule suspending
members pending investigation is not in
cluded:

tutional description of eligibility.

London Markets.

London, April 4.-The indications point
to extremely easy conditions in the honey
market after the release of the diIidend
funds early next week. There is a
good demand for gold bars for Japan,
Austria and Russia, which is mt by
moderate amounts reaching the market
from Africa. 1t is expected that een if
the Bank of England does not redrre the
rate next week, the other banks ard dis
count houses will lower the allowances
of deposits.
The political uncertainties in the
Balkans keep speculation on the elge of
the vanishing point, but there is / fair
Investment business. Prices have been
fairly well maintained, though home rail
ways have lost ground owing to the fears
or labor troubles on the northeast coast
line.
Foreign securities show little change,
except Argentine, which have advanced
. points in custom liens and 5 to 10 per
cent in other liens on reports that the
Argentine government will resume the
full rate of interest on the foreign debt
next July. There is much 1oubt as to
the practicability of this step on account
of falling revenues and few loans.
Americans were depressed early in the
week on the transmissouri decision and
fell sharply, but recovered on reports that
the decision against the agreements
would be overcome. The following show

Turks in Splendid Condition.

London, April 4.-The foreign CORE
spondents all agree in praising the SPLEEN
did physique and condition of the Turkish
troops on the Greek frontier The only
weak spot is opposite Arta. The Greek
army is enthusiastic, but deficient in dis
ciplne.
The correspondent of the Morning
Post thinks the Turks ought to capture
Larissa within two days He had an
interview with the Turkish general at
Elassonia. who made strong impress
sion on him us tactician. His impress
sion is that if war breaks out it will let
loose the great number of Greek robber
bands in Thessaly. The Turkish army
is ready to move at short notice.
From what the Times correspondent
says, he thinks rising in Macedonia
very improbable. The peasants are busy
with the transportation of Turkish
troops. Greece is evidently relying on
the movement of field artillery. The
Greeks are weak in drill.

London, April 4.--The Daily News cor
respondent at Canea. in describing Sat
urdny's fight, tomorrow will say:
The Christians advanced to within 200
yards of Akrotiri and began to parley
with the leaders. Then suddenly, along
both Christian and Moslcm lines, came
an almost simultaneous discharge of ar
tillery. The range was short and the
rattle of musketry developed into reg
uar roar. AT first the Cretans had the
advantage, driving the M0slems down
the hill. but the latter rallied, and after
a fierce charge, drove the Christians
back almost to their advance posts.
where they planted n Turkish flag, which
is still flying. The fight was stopped by
n heavy rainfall.
The disarming of the Mosems began
today. AT first the Moslems resisted,
then they warned their comrades outside,
and many of them hid their arms.
The disnrming should have been done
several weeks ago, for the Moslems
were beginning to think that Europe had
sent forces there to protect them
against the Cretans. The only regret
table thing is that the fleet does not
shell the Moslems when they are the ag-
grcssors, just as they do the Christians.

the families of two prominent farmers
named McCombs and Harville, the result
of dispute over the boundaries of their
property. Hearing that McCombs had
encroached on the land in dispute Har-
vile and one of his farm tenants named
Joseph Atwell, went to McCombs' house
to obtain satisfaction. As they approach
ed they saw McCombs and his 1S-year-
old son in the front yard. At distance
of fifteen yards Harvile and Atwell open
ed fire, one with shotgun and the other
with ap istol. The McCombs, who seem
to have been waiting in readiness, re-
turned the fire with winchesters, and for
fifteen minutes hot fusillade was kept
up. AT the end of that time Atwell lay
dead with a bullet in his brain and the
young McCombs fatally wounded with
bullet in his body. The elder McCombs
lay wounded with bullet in his leg.
Harville fled and is being pursued by an
enraged mob of friends of the McCombs,
and if captured it is thought there will
be more trouble.

Scores Greece,s Attitude.

st. Petersburg, Ajril 4.-The Journal
de st. Petersburg (semi-oflicaD says to-
day:
THE provoking and obstinate attitude
THAT Greece maintains compels the pow
'ers to blockade the port of Athens.
Greece, by keeping Col. Vassos in Crete,
is exposing the Cretans to all the disau-
wantages of blockade there. She pre-
vents the restoration of peace, she pre-
vents the people from learning the real
wishes of the inhabitants OF peace, which
can only be ascertaincd by the powers
after the removal of an interested intlu-
encc. The reports from the admirals of
the international fleet show the utter i'm
possibility at present of communicating
directly with the Cretans, who are sub
.ject to the overwhelming influence of the
Greek detachment on the island and are
making them advance plans utterly i'm
possible for the powers to accept. Col.
Vassos has practically declared war
against the powers. Moreover, ferment-
ers and agitators advocate the dcclara-
ton Of war against Turkey on the 9th
of April, or on the date when the blockade
actually takes effect We do not believe
that any such act of folly will be com
mitted, but If II does, Greece will certain
ly have to endure the most serious con-
sequences. If Greece wishes war at any
price she can count on the support of no
one whatever, and the result may be of
n conflict wantonly provoked. The pow
ers will never consent to be the aggress-
ors, depriving the statesmen of the adj
vantage in such struggle.
after the powers have exhausted all
the powers at their disposal to show
Greece all the disadvantages she labors
under, they can not he called on to in
tervene in her behalf. The powers are
Working for the general peace of Europe,

be allowed to reap the advantage of Ill
innate success. In the case of Turkey
this would seem superiiuous, as they can
gain nothing by war, but it might check
the bellic0se enthusiasm of the Greeks
The question of appointing governor
Of Crete has been referred to the am
bassadors at Constantinople. The sug-
gestion that he be the Italian admiral
has been abandoned. The next step to
be taken in the pacification of the island
is Ringing on the withdrawal of Col.
VassOs and the Greek troops. 1t is
hoped that if the Cretans can only he
convinced of these facts the object Of
the powers will be accomplished.

The Ambnssndor. protcsted.

Constantinoplc. April 4.--The ambassa-
doris made Il strong representation to the
Turkish government against the appoint
ment as governor of Tokal of Hassan
Pasha, who was governor of Jeddah at
the time of the Bcdouin massacre. They
pointed out that Hakkan Pasha. COM
macder at Tokal. had not yet been dis
missed and put on trial as had been de-
manded by the powers. They pointed out
that there were serious fears of massacres
AT Hadjin, one of the places that suf-
fered during the former outbreaks. They
reminded the government that the gov
ernor of Hadjin had on one occasion
threatened to burn the town, and on that
occasion the American minister told the
porte that the American government
would require the head of the governor
if the American missionaries. three la
dies, were molcSted. Mr.. Terrell has
again requested military guard for the
three ladies in question. and this fact was
mentioned in the joint representations
yesterday.
