LYNCHING IN ILLINOIS.
Negro Hanged for AssauIting the
Daughter of "a Miner.

LACON, Ill, Nov THE first lynching
in central Illinois in many years took place
here early this morning when a hundred
miners from Toluca, a mining town a short
distance east of here, broke into the county
Jail, took out +. w. Stewart, Toluca
negro, and hanged him to a tree. The work
was done quickly and quietly. Only a few
late stragglers noticed the number Of
strangers who kept arriving in town from
the east. They were well organized, how
ever and shortly after midnight marched in
a body to the Jail, broke in the doors after
a short parley with the sheriff, dragged the
negro from his CELL carried him to a tree
a mile from town, where the remainder of
the party awaited them, and there swung
him to limb.
Stewards crime was an assault Friday
evening on Mary OBrien, the daughter of
one of the Toluca miners. Although many
in Lacon deplore the lynching, there is a
general impression that the negro was pun
ished as he deserved, and no special effort
is being made to discover the identity of
the members of the mob. The coroner's
jury this afternoon returned a verdict that
Stewart came to his death at the hands
of persons unknown and the sheriff seems
to think public sentiment would not Justify
him in making strenuous efforts to capture
the lynchers.

MADRID, Nov. THE premier, Senior
Sagasta, was questioned to-day as to
whether it was a fact that the Spanish
government had addressed a note to the
powers asking the latter if they would sup
port Spain in protesting against 1.-The inten-
tons of the United States toward the Phil
ippine islands," He replied that such a note
had not yet been dispatched Members of

or four more sittings of the peace confer
ence at Paris.
The Bank Of Spain has advanced to the

LONDON, Nov. S.-The Standard says edi-
torially this morning: I'VE can see no al

the loss of the Philippines. No doubt the
United States will assume a heavy and Sc
rious responsibility, but it augurs we'll for
the future that the public men of America
appreciate and are ready to meet it. Eng

wish for favorable issue"
The Daily News wonders whether trouble
is brewing in the Philippines arising from
German opposition to annexation. The Daily
Mail this morning urges the American peo-
pie to pronounce boldly in favor of retain
ing the Philippines, for otherwise there will
be a scramble for coaling stations that will
endanger the peace of the world

reproducing all the six articles OF the peace
protocol, says: at is to be hoped the United
States will not maintain their first preten-

Philippine islands is one, however, which in

Republicans VIII Keep Close Watch
for Illegal Voters.


NEW YORK, Nov. There were abund-
ant evidences at both Republican and Tam
many county headquaf ters Tonight nat the
two great political parties are watching
each other closely and that there will be
abundant challenges made by the Republic
ans at the polls tomorrow. On the other
hand, Tammany will stubbornIy contest the
right of the men challenger to vote.
1t was learned at Republican headquar-
ters that the warrants of Superintendent of
Elections McCullagh will not be the only in
reference at the polls. The district captains
on both sides will be vigiant and many chal-
lenges from this source are anticipated.
Every registered man who has not come
up to the required standard of the censors
will be- challenged and made to swear in
his vote
Tammany leaders charged that Supern-
tendent McCullagh will make wholesale eff
forts to intimidate and preparations have
been made to meet this at every point; a
conference of the lawyers connected with
the district attorneys office was held this
afternoon and evening in the Criminal
Court building and the matter was dis
cussed and some measures. taken. The Tam
many law committee met In Corporation
Council Whalen's Office in the afternoon and
complete arrangements for the assigning
of lawyers to magistrates courts to defend
men brought in by the election deputies,
were made.
State Superintendent McCullagh has I'M
earthed a nest of Italians who he alleges.
have been guilty of procuring false papers
of naturalization for many of their fellow
countrymen. On evidence secured through
his fundamentally there were arrested late
this afternoon Rosario Calcoione, or Gala
guiro, a restaurant keeper of Hester street,
and Joe Marrono, a race track frequenter,
and supposed labor contractor, on the
charge of having in their possession fraud
ulent naturalization papers. Warrants were
issued by Commissioner Shields, of the
United States Court, and the prisoners were
locked up in Ludlow-street Jail tonight and
later bailed out in $500 each. The informa-
ton upon which these arrests were made
was furnished to Superintendent McCullagh
through the alleged confession of one
Nichola Farrello, who was suspected by the
superintendent of being engaged in the
wholesale procurement OF false citizenship
papers for Italians.

broke open the door and found small fire
burning on one of the floors. When the
flames had been extingushed the body of

ing pieces of wood When the body had
been removed to the morgue it was discov-
cred that the man had died from the effects
of two bullet wounds in the breast. A care
full search of the premises failed TO re-
veal a pistol or other weapon. and the only
clew the police could find was in the state
ment of some workmen near the building
that they had heard five or six pistol shots
earlier In the evening. There was nothing
about the clothing of the man, who was
about thirty-five years OF age and Well
dressed. TO reveal his identity. The theory

in favor of the Peoples party ticket. They

Greek Cabinet Resigns.

ATHENS, Nov. 1.-THE Cabinet has re-
signed, its members considering that the
exceptional circumstances under which they
assumed office have expired.
The exceptional circumstances referred to
by the ministers were the unsatisfactory
conditions prevailing in Greece after the I'M
successful war with Turkey. The Zaimis
Ministry succeeded the Rail- Cabinet, which
only lasted about a month. On Sept 30 1897,
M. Rail-, the then premier, after reviewing

PHILADELPHIA Nov. THE intensely
interesting state campaign has closed. Each
of the three leading canddates-Stone

Honest Government)-will have sufficient
number of votes for election, according to
the claims tonight of the respective party
leaders Aside from these claims the coun-
~ reports Indicate a plurality for Stone, the
Republican candidate but with the expect
ed total of a million ballots and possible
cutting, this prediction may be found incor-
rect jerks, the Democratic candidate has
the benefit of a harmonized party, the diff
ferent fractional leaders having been brought
together in his support during the past
month or six weeks. While DR.. Swallow
will undoubtedly receive heavy vote, there
are indications of falling off in the Swal-
low following in consequence Of the recent
development of increased prospects for the
success of jerks. Some of the prominent in
dependent voters have in the last few days
announced their intention to support jerks,
believing That in doing so they could better
make pof sible the overthrow of the Re
publican machine.
1t is expected that about million votes
will be cast in the State. The Republican
and Democratic state chairmen concede
Swallow from 10000 to 100000 votes, and
each claims that his respective candidate
will be the only on9 to receive over 400 900
votes The Republican chairman claims
131 ,OG0 plurality for Stone, while the Demo-
cratic chairman figures out a plurality of
$1,000 for jerks and the Prohibition chair
man claims $1,000 plurality for Swallow

orally believed that Democrats will be sue
cesssful in four or five districts now repre-
sented by Republicans. The present dele
cation to Congress from the State is COM
posed OF twenty-seven Republicans and
three Democrats but personal or factionaI
elements have entered into the contests in
some Of the districts which will in all prob
ability result in placing a few Of them in
the Democratic column.
The new Legislature will elect a United
States senator to succeed Senator Quay.
The present Legislature had joint Repub-

Ex-Postmaster General John Wanamaker
has stumped the State thoroughly in urging
voters to aid in the defeat of legislative
candidates known to favor Quays re-elec-
ton, and in many districts fusion candi-
dates have been placed in the field in oppo-
sition to the regular Repuoncan nominees.
While there is no reason to doubt that the
Republicans will have a strong working
majority in the new Legislature, a fair pre-
diction of the number of anti-Quay legisla-
tors likely to be chosen can scarcely be ven
tured upon tonight. Twenty-Five Of the
fifty senator's hold over, twenty-four of
whom are Republicans. For the lower
house the full membership of 2O4 will be
chosen tomorrow.
