CLAIMS A BIG MAJORITY.
John P. Altgeld Declares He Will Be
Elected by 10000.

Chicago, March Isl will be elect
ed mayor of Chicago by 10000 majority.
Mind you, do not mean 10000 plurality,
but 10000 majority-S0.0 600 more than
Garter and Harrison receive together.
Former Governor Altgeld- made this
unequivocaI declaration yesterday af-
ternoOn at the close of his second week
ly meeting in Wizards hall.
There has been an awakening OF the
people" the ex-governor said. The
politicians are just beginning to hear
the rumbling which foreshadows the
breaking down of machine rule in Chi
cago. 1 will predict right now that
will receive three Democratic votes and
two, Republican votes for every one that
Harrison gets. He has been bOasting
that he will receive enough Republican
votes to make up for the loss of Dem
ocratic votes that he already admits he
will sustain
THAT is simply ridiculous. The only
reason independent Republicans can
have for boiling their party nominee is
because he was nominated by pOliti-
cal machine, and are they likely to cast
themselves out of the grasp of one ma
chine only to fall into the clutches of
the machine which is controlled by
Burke? I think not. On the contrary,
1 am confident that Mr.. Carriers losses
will be my gain.
This situation is not singular at all.
Persons familiar with political condi-
lions in Chicago have fOreShadOwed it.
1 understand from the newspapers and
from comments made by my friends
that the managers of both parties are
amazed at the OutpOuring of citizens
to my meetings. 7 do not regard it as
at all singular. The people are taking
a hold on municipal ownership and the
idea of an immediate reduction of street
railway fares. They are beginning to
realize that their only hope of relief lies
in those ideas.
Mr.. Carter is offering them no relief.
HarrisOn's position is too well known
for him to attempt any sort of a 'bunko
game Carter. I understand. has not
proved strong and attractive card.
Harrison. thus far, has played politics
only with the pay roll of the city hall.
1 have enough confidence in the ability
of his bosses to blunder to believe that
he will go right on, from now until the
close of the campaign, making those
overworked city employees continue the
farce that is being played to fool the
people into a belief that the populace is
in favor of the mayor.
You may repeat" the ex-governor
added, that 1 will be elected by 80, 900
majority and that the entire city ticket
of the municipal ownership and Chicago
platform party will be successful

DOG SURVIVED THE FIRE.
a Fox Terrier Pulled Out of the Ruins
Today.

New York, March 1s.-The books Of
the hotel including the register were
found later today and were taken to
Mr.. Leland. A copy of the register was
made and from it the police hope to
straighten out some of the difficulties
that now attend the preparation of a
list of the missing.
Commissioner Scanned said today that
the burning of the Windsor hotel was
about what he had expected. He de-
clared that it was one of the worst fire
traps in New York, and added: There
are other hotels in this city as bad as
the Windsor and unless the proprietors
put their places in proper condition for
saving lives, 1 will publish a list that 1
have in my possession
Warren Leland. jr., said his father
wished all the survivors to send in by
telegraph as soon as possible the fact
of their survival Many inquiries, he
said, are being made from all over the
country by anxious friends and rela-
tiveS.
What was thought to be the only Hv-
ing thing in the ruins was pulled out
this morning. 1t was a fox terrier, bad
ly burned, but still alive. OF the police
engaged at the fire, two are reported
missing. Two firemen are also said to
be missing The body of Mrs. Warren
Leland will be taken to Chicago tomor-
row for burial

IT'S A TIRESOME JOB
To Get the City Waterworks Because
of Our Cumbersome Elec-
ton system

The members of the Republican city
central committee are disappointed with
the result of their efforts to secure a large
registration. The books will show that
not more than 5000 people, men and wo-
men. have registered. and there are only
few days more left before the books will
be closed. The date of closing is Thurs
day of next week.
The central committee has gone to the
expense of furnishing clerks in the vari-
Gus wards to superintend the registration

WAR REVENUE BILL
Costs a Fort Scott Man Nearly $4,000
Which He Didn't Expect

Fort Scott. March 1S.-A discovery
made by Deputy Internal Revenue Col
lectOr Blallesley in the records Of the
probate court today Will cost c. H.
HARRISON, of this city, several thousand
dollars that he had no idea would be re-
qired of him. The amount is cOllectable
from Mr.. HARRISON under the war rev.
enue bill and must come from the es-
tate of his late uncle, James McCord.
1t is impossible for Mr.. Blakesley to
state how much is due from Mr.. Harbi-
son owing to the fact that no inventory
of the estate has been filed as is re-
CURED by law.
Mr.. Blakesley was looking over the
Wills etc, in the probate court and his
attention was attracted to the McCord
will by the absence of an inventory.
Upon inquiry he learned that the estate
was a large one and he called the
courts attention to the legacy provision
of the revenue law which requires that
for every 800 in excess of $4,000 left
by a testator to descendants of his bro
ther or sister the heirs shall pay a rev.
enue of $1.50. Mr.. Bla<esley says that
under the law, if the McCord estate is
worth $26O, 900, Mr.. HARRISON will have
to pay SO, $50 revenue.

The conference of reformers which

The Telegraphers' Controversy.

General Manager Frey of the Santa
Fe is still in Chicago, and as yet the
controversy with the grievance commit
tee representing the Santa F'e operators
has not been settled. The point now in
question is the demanded increase in the
minimum salary. The company has
positively refused to raise the monthly
minimum salary of operators to $55 and
the committee has made a second de-
mand that it be increased to $50 per
month. The company has not yet con-
sented to this, and it may be that a
greater increase than SAT per month will
be refused.

DIR. BURKHOLDER RESIGNS.
Professor of Anatomy Leaves the Ag-
ricultural College.

DR.. Burkholder professor of anatomy
at the state agricultural college at Man
haitian, has resigned and gone back to
Virginia. The resignation, the report
states, was due to pressure from the
head of the college. 1t is said that
BurkhOIder and Paul Fisher the head
of the veterinary department, became
involved in a controversy over black
leg vaccine with the above result.
