HARRIsoN's VICTORY.
1t May Have an Important Bearing
Upon National Politics.

CHICAGO, April 5.-The official count
of yesterdays election for mayor in this
city is follows: Carter H. Harrison
Oem.), 49.15s; Zina R. Carter Rep.). 107,-
225; John P. Altgeld Qnd. Dem.), As. 1888;
scattering, 1855. Harrison has a plurali-
ty of Il 1888, but has $500 less than ma
jority.
Thomas Gahan, Democratic national
committeeman for Illinois, in speaking
OF the results of the mayoralty election,
said today:
= ct gather from the returns that Carter
H. Harrison is the choice of the people,
because of his gallant fight against cor
porate influence. The fight has been en-
tirely municipal, but apart from this, I
see, as a member of the national Demo-
cratic committee, the end of John P. Alt
gelds influence in national politics. The
governor really made his fight to retain
his hold on the state and consequently on
national politics. His vote was so small
that he has been wiped out Of the party,
and he will not be featherweight here
after. He may continue to illuminate, but
none will listen to him. When the vote
for him as governor in 1896 Is compared
with the vote of today, 1t can easily be
seen that Mr.. Altgeld's influence is
thing of the past. He is dead and he will
never be resurrected The Democrats are
through with him.
The friends of Mayor Harrison today
were busy expressing their delight at the
vista of political activity before him
stretching away into state and ma
tional affairs. His nomination for gov
ernor is already talked of by his friends
and the probability that he will head
the Chicago and Illinois Democrats in the
next Democratic national convention Is
eagerly discussed.
An analysis of the returns shows that
Mayor Harrison carried every one Of the
thirty-four wards in Chicago except five.
His own ward, normally Republican, was
carried by him as well as another strong
Republican ward, the Tenth, in which his
opponent, ZZina r. Carter, lives.
'I shall not use this Office" said Mayor
Harrison today, Ito further any political
ambitions This will be my last term as
mayor of Chicago, and 1 propose to ad-
minister the affairs placed in my hands
in the best manner possible, and for the
good of the city,
my election" continued the mayor,
will have no great effect on the Demo-
cratic party in this city. The fight was
for decency and honesty In municipal af-
fairs and the people considered that
question alone. Had l been defeated
I would still have retained controlling
hand in the Chicago political circle. AS
to Altgeld? Well, don't believe insbeat-
ing a man when he is down. His follow
ers come from certain elements which
cannot be combined into an effective par
ty organization. He may choose to con-
tinue the fight, but 1 think however, lit
tie results will be gained to him.

Interest In wisconsin Tame.

MILWAUKEE,. Wis, April 6-The in
terest in the municipal and judicial cleo
tions in Wisconsin was very tame, a
light vote being cast. Cassoday and
Dodge were elected to the supreme
bench without opposition In Milwaukee
county Eugene S. Elliott, for one of the
circuit judges, had plurality Of 1882
and Judge Daniel H. Johnson was re-
elected circuit court Judge with plural
tty of 84S. John w. Ludwig was elected
superior court Judge without opposition
Latest returns from the Fifteenth judicial
district indicate the reelection Of Judge
Parrish. Only in the larger cities out
side Milwaukee was there any interest
in the municipal elections. In La Crosse
the Republicans and Democrats put up
hard fight, the Democrats coming out
victorious. Mayor Starkweather was
showed under at West Superior.
The contest at Madison was of per-
sonal nature, Mayor Whelan Rep.) be-
ing. defeated by his opponent of a year
ago, Fond du. Lac, Racine and Oshkosh
went Democratic. On the whole the Re
publicans have the longest list Of victor
les, and many Of the small towns elected
non-partisan tickets.
License was carried in 7viroqua, Brod-
head, Grantsburg, Glenwood, Hartland,
Friendship, Waupun, Augusta, Baldwin,
Clinton, Tomah. No license In Wyocena
Deerfield.

Denver Is Democratic.

DENVER, Col, April -6.-The Demo-
cratic city ticket, excepting city clerk
and city treasurer. and probably some of
the aldermen, has been elected by plural
tiles ranging from 1000 to 1000 The
mayor-elect Is Henry V. johnson, a pro
minent lawyer, who held the Office of
United States district attorney for Colora-
term. The winning Democratic candi-
dates In this city ran practically upon the
same platform as Mayor McMurray, de-
clar1ng unequivocally for municipal own
ership of public utilities.
In Pueblo, George West Oem.) was
elected mayor; in Colorado Springs, Dr.

BOSTON, April 6-Among the commu-
nications received by the United Society
of Christian Endeavor recently in con-
nection with its proposition for a war
against war. and peace by arbitration"
are two from former United States presi-
dents. Grover Cleveland and Benjamin
Harrison. Ex-President Cleveland wrote:
The members and friends of the So
ciety of Christian Endeavor have never
entered upon an undertaking so practical
and SO noble as the effort they are now
making to secure the abandonment of
war as a means for the settlement Of in
ternational differences and If there is
any substance to the claim that our in
stftutions and the traits that character
lie us as people tend to national eleva-
ton and Characterization It is eminently
proper that our country should be In the
lead in any movement in the interests Of
peace"

LONDON, April 6.-The Rome cores
pondent of the Times, discussing the
terms of the settlement recently arrived
at between Colombia and the represen-
tatives of the CerrutH claim, under Mr..
Cleveland's award, says:
1t is doubtful whether Italy would be
willing to coerce Colombia II the latter
should reject as ubiquitous the exorbitant
demand of Signor Cerruti,s non-Italian
creditors. On the contrary 1t is probable
that, If these creditors persist In their
unreasonable attitude, Italy will be
drawn to concoct with the Colombian
authorities some means Of eyading the
legal obstacles to Signor Cerrutti's en-
joyment of the indemnity awarded by
President Cleveland.

published report that three commission
ers would be named from each country Is
without foundation, as such q plan has
never been considered. There will be
one from each country, of about the same
relative rank or standing. It is to IN
sure this similarity of standing that the
three governments areemutually discuss

question being whether they will he-mil-

= The semi official announcement that
the German government Will not appoint
either Consul General Rosenthar or Con-
sui General Rose as representative on
the Samoan commission, taken in con-
nection with the declaration Of purpose
to select an official of the rank of con-
sui general for the place, has tended to
confirm the belief of the officials here
that the intention Is to name DR.. Schmidt
as the German commissioner. Dr..
Schmidt Is now privyl councillor and q
director In the foreign Office at Berlin Of
matters connected with Asiatic and Sa-
moan policy, He was consul general Of
Samoa at Apfa until four years ago, when
he was withdrawn at the instance of the
United States, owing to his attitude
towards Mr.. Mulligan, the United States
consul general there.

GEN. OTIS PLANS.
He Has Not Seen Fit to Communicate
Them to WASHINGTON This Week

WASHINGTON. April 5-If Gen. Otis
is maturing plans for another campaign
against the insurgents in the vicinity of
Calumpit, as indicated in the press dis
patches from Manila, he has not so In
formed the war department. In fact the
general has not thought it needful to
communicate with the department for
two days. While 1t may be necessary to
send troops against the insurgents, who
have gathered at Calumpit, in order to
make the authority of the United States
more secure, and for the effect upon the
natives, yet 1t is not thought that Aguin-
aldo has any great force, and 1t is be-
lieved that upon the approach of the
American army the insurgents will retire
after the exchange Of a few shots.

the effect that certain general officers
who were thought to be in captivity have
come to an arrangement with the rebels.
The government has no proof that this
statement Is exact, but If 1t was 50
everybody would understand that the
fault lies with the Americans, for they
have from the beginning prevented any
negotiations for the liberation Of the pris-
oners and have placed the latter in the
position of having to die from hunger or
find some means of supporting life. IN
der such circumstances, it need not be
thought surprising that individually some
prisoners may have entered the service
of the Tagalos.' !"

TOLEDO, o., April 5.-The friends of

simultaneously started a boom for him
today as a candidate for governor Of
Ohio A number of his Toledo represen-
tatives are in Columbus, and they will
announce his candidacy in that city.
Mayor Jones, when seen about the mat
ter, especially stated that he had not
sanctioned the action Of his friends, but
did not deny that he had aspirations
There has been doubt as to which party
he Will affiliate with. Many Democrats
claim he can be nominated on that
ticket, but as Mayor Jones has always
been Republican, and so stated during
his campaign, he viii doubtless cast his
lot with that party. He will endeavor to
have platform favoring municipal own
ership of public institutions.
