A Hot Campaign in Toledo.

Toledo. Ohio, April 1.-The most re-
markable campaign in the history of
Toledo closed tonight with demonstra-
tions in almost every ward by the three
factions contending for the election of
mayor on Monday. Charles f. Russell,
regular republican, Mayor S. NJ. Jones
and Captain P. H. Dowling. the regular
democratic candidate, are all claiming
the election. The Independent move
ment. or the Jones faction of the repub-
lican party. has made the most aggres-
sive fight, the candidate making his
campaign on the platform of socialism
and municipal ownership. and he has
secured Endorsements from nearly every
labor union in the city. To-day, at the
instance of the managers of both demo-
cratic and republican committees, 240
warrants We're issued for voters on the
ground of illegal registration. These

ON TRIAL FOR LYNCHING.
Fifteen Prominent Citizens on Trial for
a Brutal Crime.

Charleston, S. c.. April 1.-Fifteen
prominent citizens of Lake City, S. G.,
will be put on trial here in the United
States circuit court next week to answer
to the charge of having lynched Postmas-
ter -raZer B. Baker more than year
ago. Besides killing the postmaster, who
was a negro, the alleged lynchers will
have to answer for killing Bakers infant
child and for burning the Lake City post
office with all its effects.
Eighty witnesses for the government
have been summoned and there is great
array of witnesses for the defense. This
is the first time on record that the fed
eral government has come into the South
to take up a lynching trial.
The murder of Baker was probably the
most brutal crime known in the history
of the state. Baker was appointed post
master at Lake City. Before he took
of the office he was warned to keep away.
He refused and an attempt was made to
kill him soon after his commission was
received This failed and then Il regu-
lar band was organized to put him out OF
the way The second attempt was sue
cessful one, and in the killing OF Baker
his child perished and the Lake City
postofiice was burned.

A LIVELY CAMPAIGN.
The Chances in Favor of Farley's Election
in Cleveland.

Cleveland. O., April 1.-The municipal
campaign which closed tonight is the
most remarkable ever conducted in
Cleveland. The candidates for mayor
are Robert e. Mckisson, republican,
who seeks reelection for a third term.
and John II. Farley. democrat. former
mayor and director of public works.
Mckisson and Farley We're the oppos-
ing candidates two years ago, when
the former won by about $500 plural
ity. AT that time Farley had the op-
position of a large number of silver
democrats, who refused to support him
because he had failed to give active
support to Bryan in the presidential
campaign. Then there was no open
opposition to McKisson in his own par
ty. Now the democratic party is prac-
tically united for Farley and Nick sson
has the open and avoWed opposition
not only of a large part of the republi-
cans, who accuse him of treachery to
his party in attempting to prevent NJ.
A. Hanna's election to the senate last
winter, but also the municipal assoCia-
tion. composed of 500 representative cit
izens, which charges that he has ad-
ministered the city government in the
interest of a personal political machine.
There have been several arrests made
on charges of false registration

perfected for their interment. There
are about $50 bodies to be buried in Ar
lington. The funeral train after dis
charging'at Rosslyn, will return to New
York and receive the remainder of the
bodies.
Full military honors will be paid to
the memory of the patriots who lost
their lives in the West Indies. Orders
have been issued for the participation
of Troop Fl of the Sd cavalry at Fort
Myer and the batteries of artillery from
Washington barracks, together with
the band of the 4th artillery. The mill
tary escort will be in command of Col.
Frank L. Guenther of the 4th artillery
and includes all available regular troops
in this vicinity.
The president has under consideration
a proposition for the participation of
the District National Guard in the
funeral ceremonies next week, and it is
probable that they will be ordered out
for duty on that occasion. In special
recognition of the occasion and in order
to permit the government employees to
assist in doing honor to the memory of
the soldiers who lost their lives for
their country, all the government de-
partments will be closed at noon on the
day set apart for the funeral cere-
m0ny.

THE DEAD UNKNOWN.
There Is No List of the Passengers Who
Were on the Stella.

Were on the Stella.
Southampton, April There is moth
ing new of a definite nature to-day re-
garding the victims of the disaster of
the Stella. Anxious inquiries continue
to be made at the offices of the London
& Southwestern Railway company, but
the officials do not possess list of the
passengers and many of the inquirers
are unable to assert definitely that
their friends We're on board. AS a rule,
the inquirers are only vaguely aware
that their friends had started for the
channel islands. 1t is impossible. there
fore, to draw up even an approximate
list of the victims.
The steamer Vera arrived here this
afternoon with the survivors of the dis
aster The quays were thronged and
as soon as the gangway had been plac-
ed in position the officials on the Vera
invited all persons having relatives or
friends among the survivors to go on
board. The scenes that followed were
most pathetic. The joy of the fortu-
nate ones was yelled in the presence
of the narrowing grief of those who
We're fruitless searchers for loved ones
and vainly appealing to the rescued for
news of the missing.
The stories of the passengers who
were saved add little that is new, ex-
cept the belief that many women and
children must have perished in the sa-
loon. so sudden was the thrush of water.
One Of the rescued says that before
the Stella sank she stood with her bows
perpendicular for a moment and then
shot below like an arrow. All who were
left on board were pitched sternward
in a heap and disappeared with the
shin.

FEAR YELLOW FEVER.
The Utmost Precautions Taken by the
Department.

Washington, April 1.-The war depart
ment has been advised of the apprehen-
sion existing in the Southern states that
the return of the troops from Cuba may
bring in yellow fever. Protests have been
made against the establishment of camps
at Atlanta. and the suggestion has been
made that the troops should be sent
North early and not mustered out in the
South. So far as the Southern troops
are concerned, it is possible to muster
them out only near their homes. The
Northern troops it is intended to bring
North. 1t is stated at the war depart
ment that investigation into the plan to
establish camp at Atlanta develops the
fact that the cost will be considerable.
while there are established camps at Sa-
vannah, Augusta and other points with
ample provision for the troops. For this
reason it is probable that no camp will
be established at Atlanta.
The war department is taking every
precauton possip-e to prevent infection
and makes no move without consulting
Surgeon General Wyman of the marine
hospital service. The depar tment is act
ing upon his suggestion and advice and
the whole matter of protection against
infection is in his hands. If there is the
least danger of infection the troops will
be brought at once to Camp Meade, in
Pennsylvania

De MOCRACY AND CULTURE.
The Salvation of the Republic Is the
Creation of Men.

Creation of Men.
Chicago, April 1.-Studebaker hall
was filled to the doors tonight. the oc-
casion being the quarterly convocation
exercises of the University of Chicago.
The address of the evening was delv-
cred by Rev. Henry V Vandyke, D. D., of
New York, his subject being 'Democ-
racy and Culture" The speaker was
frequently interrupted by outbursts Of
applause. In the course of his remarks
Rev. Mr.. Vandyke said:
"A democracy falling into the hands
of those who do not understand what it
means, nor It heart believe in it, swiftly
transforms itself into tyranny, or into
an anarchy. A republic must have
moral ard intellectual foundations. The
cornerstone of democracy is culture.
Culture must begin and continue with a
fine disregard of pecuniary returns.
What we need at present is not
new colleges, with power Of comforting
degrees, but more power in the existing
colleges to make men. To this end let
them have a richer endowment, fuller
equipment. but, above all, a revival OF
the creative ideal. And let everything
be done to bring together the high
school, the normal school, the grammar
school. the primary school and the little
red schoolhouse school in the harmony
of this ideal. The university shall still
stand in the place of honor, if you will;
but only because it bears the clearest
and most steadfast witness that the
end of culture is to create men who can
see clearly. imagine nobly and think
steadily. The salvation of democracy
lies in the possession of such men,

AN IMPORTANT DECISION,
A Controversy Pending for Three Years
Finally Closed.

EInally Closed.
Special Dispatch to the STANDARD.
Washington, April IAN important
decision was rendered by Secretary
Hitchcock to-day. 1t closes contro-
versy which has been pending fer three
years regarding the publication and
republication of mining notices. In 1896
the interior department held that no.
tees of mining applications for patent
must comply with all the details of the
regulations issued by the department
and required publication because the
notice did not mention adjoining claims.
The enforcement of that ruling would
have required republication of nearly
all the pending applications for patent
throughout the country. A motion for
review was filed by Duanee Fox and
the department reversed it's decision
and held the publication sufficient be-
cause the adjoining claims had not been
officially surveyed, but announced that
in publications made after June l, 1897,
the regulations would be strictly en-
forced. In 1898 the department re-
quired republication in case which
had been published in 1894 because no
mention was made in the publication
notice of adjoining claims. which had
been officially surveyed. The present
decision reverses the commissioner of
the general land office, Vacates the eX-
listing departmental decision and holds
the publication sufficient, thus finally
restoring the practice to what is was
before 1896.
