OHIO MUNICIPAL CONTESTS
DEMOCRATS GAINED IN THE
LARGER TOWNS.
Increased Republican Vote In Smaller
Cities - Anti-Hanna Candidate
Beaten at Cleveland.

Cincinnati, o., April 3.-The elections
in Ohio today were general for muni-
cipal and township officers. While Local
issues usually control these spring cleo
tions. yet there were other influences
in some places today. At Cleveland
there was a decisive Democratic VIC
tory on the head of the ticket only, but
il was not due alone to the local oppo-
sstion to Mayor McKisson for a third
term. McKisson last year was the can
didate of the bolting Republicans and
the Democrats in the legislature against
Senator Hanna
At Columbus Republican mayor was
elected for the first time in twelve
years.
At Cincinnati the Republicans have
plurality of 1000, though the present
Democratic mayor was elected iwC
years ago by almost as large a pluI ali
ty.
At Toledo an Independent Republican
was elected on Pingrea issues, assisted
by factional complications.
At Dayton the Democrats made muni-
c;pal gains but the Republicans gained
in the township. which seems TO be the
case throughout the state.
While the greatest change was at
Cleveland, where the Republicans nave
controlled the city for years. with Rob
ert McKisson as mayor, yet what is
known as the western reserve maintains
its usual Republican majorities, with
some gains over those nf former April
elections, notable at Youngstown, War
rem, Cadiz, Delaware and other cities
in northwestern Ohio. IN the smaller
cities, as we'll as in the rural DISTRICTS.
the Republicans claim gains. notably
at Chillicotile, where there was a
change, Mayor Brown being defeated
for reelection by James Wood by 300.
At Defiance the Democrats lost two
councilmen and member OF the board
of education.
At Hamilton the Democrats main
tanned their majoritiess also at ]. .ima,
Newark, Circleville, Upper Sandusi1y.
Wapakoneta, lIillarsourg and Van
Vert. AT Zaaes.ille and Marysville
the Republicans were successful, anc
they made gains at Napoleon As rule

A. Canton The home of Mckinley.
James Robertson. Republican, was

GOOD NEWS FROM OTIS.
. Says the Insurgents Are Defeate
Discouraged and Scattered.


Washington, April 3.-The following
cablegram was received at the war de-
partment early this morning:
Manila, April 8. 1899.
''Adjutant General. Washington, d. c.:
Present indications denote insur-
gent government in a periiouS condi-
ton, its army defeated, discouraged
and scattered. The insurgents are re-
turning to their homes in the cities
and villages between here and points
north of Malolos. which our recOnnOi-
tering parties have reached, and desire
protection of Americans. News from
Visayan islands more encouraging
every day. OTIS"
While there is disappointment be-
cause the movement for the capture of
large force OF the FilipinOS was not
successful, it is believed the pressing
of the insurgents steadily toward the
north, capturing their capital and driv-
ing them from place to place has had
a very discouraging effect upon the
natives who have been following Ag-
uinaldo. 1t is evident by the reference
which General Otis makes to the re-
connoitering parties that he is having
the country thoroughly covered, and
that the information which they are
giving him is the basis of the dispatch
received today. 1t is believed that de-
sertions will soon deplete the army of
Aguinaldo to little or nothing That
portion of the dispatch relating to the
Visayans refers to the operations of
which Iloilo is the base. The group
includes Panay, Bohol, Cebu, Negros
and others of less Importance. The
rebellion against the United States au-
thorities was not very serious in these
islands, being stirred up by emissaries
Of Aguinaldo at IlOilo. The constant
defeat of Aguinaldo's forces north of
Manila has no doubt had a depressing
effect on other insurrectionists.

Local and personal issues, played the
usual conspicuous part in the spring
elections throughout the state. but the
Republicans were generally successful
in townships and smaller cities in sew

SAM HALLER MAY RECOVER.
Physicians Say There Is a Ray of
Hope.

Columbus, O., April "a special to the
State Journal from Lima, o., says: Sam
uel Haller, who was probably fatally shot
by Bookmaker Holland in New York on
Sunday, was born and raised in this city.
He has been leading rowing life since he
was ten years of age. and only visited
his home here at intervals. He has been
in every country in the world and for a
time was assistant chief of police of Salt
Lake City. and when the Worlds Fair
commenced took a position with Buffalo
Bills show, and has since been with him.
During the Sullivan-Corbett fight he had
charge of the tickets at the fight and
was well known by sporting people all
over the world. He was about sc years
of age and has a widowed mother and
two sisters living here. One of his sisters
left for New York this afternoon. A
telegram tonight to his mother said the
hospital physicians said there was a ray
Of hope for him.
New York, April 3.-The dangerous
operation of laporotomy' was performed

M,KIssoN DEFEATED.
Mark Hanna's Democratic Candidate
Elected at Cleveland.

Cleveland, April S.-1ohn H. Farley
OemocraD was elected mayor over
Robert p GIcKisso1 (Republican), the
present incumbent, to6ay by plurality
of about $500. The first returns iEdi-
Gated a much greater victory for Far
ley, but hispluralitv was cat down by
later returns. The remainder of the Re-
publican ticket, including city treasurer
police judge police prosecutor, justice
and four members ot the school council
elected at large, will have substantial
pluralities. The Republicans will con-
troll the city council.
McKisson's defeat was due 20 the de-
fection of Republicans, who voted
against him because of his bolt from
Senator Hanna and his party during
the contest before the legislature a year
ago last winter The whole ticket suf-
fered somewhat on account of the op.
position to McKisson, but not enough
to defeat any of the other candidates.
The election was orderly in most re-
spects. The vote was very heavy and
the count was somewhat delayed, but
practically all the returns are in at mid
night.

PHILIPPINE REVENUES.

Less Than Three Millions Since
Americans Took Possession.
Washington, April S.-Acting Secre-
tary Meikeljohn today made a state
ment of the receipts in the Philippine
islands since the Americans have been
in charge. These figures have been
cabled by General Otis, but since the
active hostilities have been going on
no detailed reports have been received.
The Americans took possession Of the
islands Aug. Is. 1898. The receipts to
the 1st of january were S1,S19,S15. The
receipts for January. February and
March. so far as reported. were s1.16S.-
566. of which amount $4,000 is from
Iloilo and $4,000 from Cebu. 1t is be
lieved the total showing of $2.9sS, ,4S0

the ports of the islands been in pos
session of the United States. Many OF
the ports have been in possession OF

necessarily restricted.

favorite candidate, seemed to care little
for the minor offices, and the conse-
quence is that the other candidates will
fall short. Mayor S. M. Jones, who was
a candidate on an independent ticket
with a platform for municipal owner
ship of public utilities, has been elected
by at least 5000 plurality and probably
a majority over all. The contest Was
marked by a degree of spirit, but no
arrests were made and no disturbances
were reported. The vote being heavy.
the count is slow, but the returns seem
to show that the regular Republican
ticket, except for mayor, has been
elected b-v close vote.
At 10 o'clock the Jones management
heard, unofficially, from nearly every
precinct in the city and they give Jones
a plurality of 5000. They state that
their candidate will have a majority
over all others, and they concede that
the Republican nominees, except for
mayor, are elected.

LEGAL CODE FOR PORTO RICO.
The InsuInr Commission BusiIy En-
gagged In Preparing n Legal
Code for Porto Rico.

Washington, July 6.-Since the order
der of the president continuing the
legal existence of the insular COM
mission, the members have been busily
engaged in preparing a code of laws
for Porto Rico to take the place of the
Spanish statutes. The best legal ad-
vice the commissioners have been able
to obtain supports their own view that
such a new code can be legally adopt
ed by the military government of ths
island with the sanction of the presi-
dent and without awaiting the action
cf congress. Such step would give
the islanders the advantage of modern
laws under which the regeneration of
the island could be carried on by its
military governor as long as was de-
slrable before raising the question of
Forto Rico's admission to actual ter
ritorial rights.
1t is considered probable that a
large part, at least, of the new code of
.dws being formulated by the commits
sion will be adopted and put in force
