The election was one OF the most quiet
that the city has ever experienced. There
were rumors of coming trouble in the First
and Eighteenth wards. where the Repub-
leans claimed they had secured positive
evidence OF "colonizing" on the part OF the
Democrats but the matter came TO noin-
ing. and there were no difficulties TO speak
OF. Several arrests were made, one man,
Robert Ferguson. having in his possession
before coming 10 the polls marked offi-
clai ballot. He informed the police that he
had received from Timothy OConnor. a
Republican politician, and the latter was
arrested.

Harrison Much GratiAed.

Mayor Harrison declared himself tcfight
as being greatly pleased with the result
Of the election, saying:
1T shows that the people of Chicago are
pleased with the administration. and am
glad of that, for l honestly endeavored to
give them the best administration ! could.
The result shows for itself"
Mr.. Carter, the Republican candidate.
said:
II do not take the Harrison victory to be
a rebuke TO the Republican party. Indeed.
! think that national issues were not in
the minds OF the people when they cast
their ballots-siuply the Idea was upper
most that Carter III. Harrison was alone
to thank fer defeating the attempt at long
term franchises and that re election was
due 10 him as "a reward for that act Per-
sonally. I have no regrets over the result"
John +. Atgeld said Of the result Of the
election tonight:
lone reason for the election OF Mr.. Har-
r.son was that the press supported him al
most without exception and the great Re-
publican papers were on his side. Why
did ;he Republican papers support Harri-
SOM The reason IS not hard 10 find. They
saw that Mr. Harrison had already 5etray
his power 20 DO and he viii carry the be-
trayal a great deal further. and thus make

CHICAGO. April 4-Carter H. Harrison
was re elected mayor Of Chicago today by
total vote Of 1884, against Ios,3o4 for
Zina II. Carter. the Republican candidate.
and i5.49i for John r. AItgeld. the inde-
pendent Democratic candidate. Harrison's
plurality Is $3.50. In the last mayoral;y
election Harrison was elected by vote OF
I4s1o0 against 33i2 for Sears the regular
Republican nominee. and ess37 for Harlan,
the independent Republican. The Demo
Gratis have elected their candidates for the
town offices in the North and wes. towns,
the Republicans carrying the South towns.
although the final count may take this
from them. The returns at midnight, how
ever. indicate that they have a safe ma
jorIsv.
The vote from the wards shows as far as
IL has been counted that the Republicans
have elected fourteen aldermen and the
Democrats nine. The contest In several OK
the wards is very close. and the official
count will probably be necessary TO de-
terminc the result. The city council has
been composed OF forty-fiye Democrats
and twenty-three Republicans. and the
Democrats win without doub. retain a
working majority.
Causes Of Hnrrison'x Big Vote.
The election was entirely upon local is
sues, no element OF national politics en-
ser,ng into the campaign. The firn, stand
taken by Mayor Harrison against the pro
posed lfty-year extension az the street car
franchises was strong element of his pop
ularty and gained him many votes from
the Republican party. besides holding close
iy 20 him many OF the Democratic party
who might have cast their votes for the in
dependent candidate. Another fact that
drew TO him many Republican votes was
the existing opposition TO the Republican
machine among the rank and file Of the Re-
publican party. Thousands Of votes were
cast for Harrison that would have been
received by Carter. the Republican noml
nee. had not the latter been backed by the
machine politicians. Several independent
md Republican papers supported Mr.. Har-
rlson. among them the Times-Heraid ard
Post which have been known sas Mckinley
organs.

Can't TwiddIe Their Thumhs

The gorilla and chimpanzee, which
belong to the higher order of apes. have
many points of resemblance to man,
but there is one thing they cannot do
that is, twiddle their thumbs.
In the gorilla the thumb is short and
does not reach much beyond the bottom
OF the first joint of the forefnger. IT is
very much restricted in its movements
and the animal can neither twiddle his
thumbs nor turn them round SO that
the tips describe a circle.
There are the same number of bones
in the hand of gorilla as in the hand
OF man, but the thumbs of the monkey
have no separate hexor or bending mus.
Gle This is why a monkey always keeps
the thumb on the same side as the fin
gers and never bends it round any OBJ
Ject that may be grasped.
In the gorilla the web between the
fingers extends to the second Joint. the
fingers taper to the tips, and there is q
on the knuckles on which the
animal rests when walking on all tours.
There are many other strong points
Of resemblance between the ape and
man, but-well, we wish to be charita.

Russian Women Criminals.

Russia's women criminals are for
the most part peasants who have MUIR
dered their husbands. The prevalence
of the crime is believed to be due to
the custom of marrying off girls long
before the age of puberty. To this is
also ascribed the excessive number of
deaths among very young children, the
mortality under one year of age in
Russia being 81 per cent, whereas the
Enronean average is 18 ner cent

COST OF ELEPHANTS
Much Used in the Siamese Malay States
as Beasts Of Burden.


Tt is somewhat interesting to COM
pare the weights carried by elephants
in the tin-producing districts of the
Malay peninsula with those used in
the long journeys and mountainous
country of the Lao states. In the Pc
ninsula the distances are seldom more
than at most three or four days
march, and the elephant is expected to
carry as much as 500 to 1000 pounds,
besides his mahout and hoWda. The
latter is often mere brace of panniers,
slung together SO as to rest one on
each side of the backbone, and covered
sometimes with light barrel roof OF
bark. good tusker which will car
ry $50 pounds will fetch about G56,
and the female which can bear 800
pounds is worth about G45. In the
Lao states, where journeys of ten days
or three weeks are frequent, the aver
age weight hardly exceeds 800 pounds.
or one-third of what is usual in the
peninsula. The prices in various parts
OF the country vary considerably.
When we were on the Me KaWng and
in the Muang Nan in 1898, a good
tusker could be had for $50 and a fe-
male for G24; at Chieng Mai, where
good teak hauling elephants are in
great demand tusker may fetch
6 $50, and female anything from $50
to c100, according to her strength and
ability
In the siamese Malay states there
are probably about 1000 domesticated
elephants, all told, and in the Lao
country probably over $500 animals
are working at the present moment.
That these animals breed in captivity
in Siam is due to the fact that large
number of them spend the greater part
of their time holiday making in the
jungle. When there is no work for
the beast, the mahout takes him out
to nice, cool, green bit of forest and
leaves him there to enjoy himself.
There is no expense connected with his
upkeep, for he looks after himself. He
has ahobble of rattan round his feet
to dissuade him from wandering too
far, and wooden bell round his neck,
by the tone of which the mahout or his
little boy can always find him, when
they go out once month to look him
up and give him some bananas.
