CONDITION OF UESTER RN RITERS,
Receding at Some Points and Gaining at
Others.

st. Louis, April 6.-Contrary to the
predictions of the local weather bureau
and old rivermen the Mississippi re-
manned stationary during last night,
but began to rise slowly this morning.
The gauge marks 2S feet. Reports re-
ceived from points north as far as
Keokuk state that the river is rising
at the rate of four inches each twenty
four hours. The Des Moines and Mis-
souri, rivers are reported rising rapidly
and the floods, together with the water
in the Illinois river, will cause the
lower river to gain at least two feet
within the next forty-eight hours.
Special kilograms report the river
falling at Helena Ark, and Greenville,
Miss. The levee commission of Natcbez,
Miss, has issued a warning of the
worst overflow in the history of this
country and entreating every man and
boy to suspend all business and begin
work on the levees. The river contin-
Ues to rise at that point.
At ST. Joseph, Mo-, great anxiety
prevails on account of the flood outlook
in the Missouri The river is several
feet higher than ever known and the
indications favor an increase of two
feet or more.
At Keokuk, Ia, the river is station
ary, but it is expected to rise again
when the flood from st. Paul reaches
there. At Louisiana, Mo-, and Alton,
Ill, the river has fallen ten inches in
the last twenty-fOur hours.

st. Louis Republican.

st. Louis, April 6.-After a campaigm
of three weeks, during which every
trick known to munipical politics was
worked, the city election took place
here to-day with little excitiment. The
entire republican ticket, headed by Sell
genhein for mayor, was elected by ma1
jorities ranging from 5000 to $4,000, in
a total vote Of about $4,000. The mus
nicipal assembly will be about evenly
divided.
Opposed to Seigenhein for mayor
were Harrison, regular democratic, and
Merriweather, boiling democrat. The
campaign was purely personal and set
tied nothing as to the strength of the
two parties in st. Louis

rRANs-mIssoURI DECISION.
Petition for Rehearing to be Presented
by the Freight Association.

by the Freight Association.
New York, April 6.-The counsel for
the Trans Missouri Freight association
will shortly submit petition for a re-
hearing in the case Of the United States
versus the Trans Missouri Freight as
sociation, recently decided in the Unit
ed States supreme court against the
railroads, and it is hoped to have the
case re-argued before the adjournment.
Discussion of the majority opinion de-
livered by Justice Peckham in the case
centers largely about the deliverance of
the court on the question of ''reasona-
BILE and unreasonable restraint of
trade" Judge John F. Dillon, who is
of counsel for the Trans Missouri asso-
citation, said to-day:
The conclusion reached by the court
that the antitrust act includes within
its scope and penal provisions reasona-
BILE as well as unreasonable restraints
of trade or commerce is so far-reaching
and so destructive of legitimate bust
ness methods that it cannot, in my
opinion, permanently be maintained.
Nearly all contracts more or less re-
strain trade"
E. Ellery Anderson, one of the receiv-
ers of the Union Pacific, has written to
counsel letter criticising the decision.
He says that it resembles more closely
presentation on the floor of congress
than judicial deliverance on the ques-
tion of congressional intent in using
the words ''in restraint of trade" His
own opinion is that congress had no in
tention of making the words apply to
every combination which in any way
affected prices or rates.

WASA DEMOCRATIC DELUGE
GARTER III. HARRISON ELECTED
MAYOR OF CHICAGO.

Polled More Votes Than All Other Candi4
dates Combined--Republioan Plurality
of $4,000 Last November Converted Into
Democratic Plurality of s5 ,OOO-Hesing
Made the Poorer Showing.
Chicago, April 6-Through the
magic of his famous fathers name,
aided by the independent split in the
regular republican ranks and the flock
ing of the discontented laboring classes
to the standard of silver democracy.
Carter H. Harrison was elected mayor
of Chicago to-day and a great demo-
cratic triumph was recorded.
The $4,000 plurality of Mckinley was
turned into a democratic plurality of
about $4,000 over Judge Nathan Sears.
the machine republican candidate for
mayor. The almost complete mayor
atty returns show that Harrison polled
plurality of about $4,000 over the next
best man, Alderman John M. Harlan, a
republican, who ran on the citizensS
ticket, by himself. The figures also in
dicate that the next mayor polled a
small majority over all the three other
principal candidates-Sears, Harlan
and Washington Hesing, ex-postmaster
and German editor, whose ticket was
called business administration Of mus
nicipal affairs
| Mr.. Hesing is a gold democrat, but
his boasted strength among the inde-
pendent men of both parties dwindled
| to about 10000 total vote. Harrison's
total vote is about 100000 lass than
5000 under the vote polled by Williams
j. Bryan. The republican total vote is
about $1,000, while Mckinley polled 200,-
TAT votes in November.
The rest of the city ticket, attorney
treasurer and clerk, all the town tick
cts, and a large majority Of the COM
mon council have gone democratic on
the tidal wave, with the possible excep-
ton Of the Hyde Park town ticket.
Harrison or Harlan carried every ward
in the city and the republican machina
was repudiated everywhere. There Id
really nothing left for the republican,
party to console itself with, except a
few aldermen whose records were good
and who happened to live in wards that
are strongly republican. The argument
Of the republicans that if Hesing or
Harlan had Withdrawn Judge Sears
would have won does not hold good
when it is shown that Harrison has al
clear majority over all three.
/ The other city tickets in the field cut
no figure at all.
| There was a joyful demonstration Of
democrats on the streets when the vic-
| tory became assured, and thousands
gathered in front of newspaper offices
| to cheer as the news was displayed.
There were impromptu parades, fire.
works and much cannonading Of the
atmosphere.
| Carter Harrison said tonight:
"It has been a victory Of united,
and not a divided democracy. Gold, as
well as silver men, cast their ballots
for me, and registered a protest against
republican misrule. The workingmen
were with me-
| The late returns indicate that the
democrats will have thirtv-nine alder
men out of the sixty-eight in the coun-
Gil. Twenty eight of the democrats are
probably elected out Of tfirty-four, and
with the eleven democratic hold-over
aldermen will give that party majors
ity in the legislative body.
