REPUBLICANS WIN.


BOSTON, Dec. 12.-The Republicans were
generally successful in the city elections
to-day. Only in Newburyport did the So
cialists make a strong showing. In Boston,
Lynn and Woburn. ordinarily strong DEM
ocratic strongholds, the Republicans scored
signal victories.
In Boston Thomas n. Hart defeated ex-
CONGRESSMAN Patrick A. Collins, the Dem
ocratic nominee for mayor. by 1901 votes.
The total vote was: Hart, Rep, 40.665 Col
lins. Dem. IS. 761. The Democrats. however.
still control both branches of the city
government, the Board of Aldermen by a
somewhat increased majority. The board
stands eight Democrats to five Repub-
licans. The city, as usual, voted for
license. The proposal to relay the street.
car tracks on fremont street, which had
been taken up when the subway was COM
pleted, was defeated.
The Republican victory was in a great
measure due to the knitting of Mr.. Collins
by the supporters of John r. Murphy, who
were severely disappointed at their favor
ties defeat In the caucuses. A remarkably
heavy Republican vote also materially as
sisted I'm overcoming the Democratic plu-
rality of 4,cO0 in the last city election for
mayor in 1897 and of 5000 at the state cleo
ton In November.

CHICAGO. Dec. Ia gang of alleged
boy burglars was arrested last evening in
as lavishly furnished apartments as mil

NEW YORK, Dec. 12.-Adelbert S. Hay.
son of Secretary Hay and consul by ap-
pointment at Pretoria, is among the guests
of the Holland House, awaiting to-mor-
rows departure of the st. Louis. Mr.. Hay
goes to South Africa to replace Consul
Macrum. There has been tendency to
exaggerate the position of Mr.. b.acrum,"
said Mr. Hay I'm answer to the question
whether that ex-official were returning to
this country as an ambassador from Kru-
ger" 'Mr. Macrum has been on very
friendly terms with the Transvaal govern
ment, but that has been his personal
affair and something which he would not
drag into public diplomacy carelessly. His
position is not very we'll understood at
present and it cannot be until he has
reached this country and explains it for
himself. His suggestions will undoubtedly
be acceptable to the department and throw
light on the attitude of the government in
the present war"

A TAGAL PITFALL.
Sharp Bamboo Posts Set in a Hole for
Purpose Of Impaling Americans.

NEW YORK, Dec. ia special to the
Tribune from Washington says: 'In hos
pital reports which have reached the War
Department from Manila is chroncled the
first casualty due to falling into a Tagal
pitfall, which contained the horrible device
of bamboo posts set firmly in the hole and
sharpened at the top for the purpose of
impaling the unwary. The American troops
have frequently found such traps on the
line of march. and especially in front of
insurgent trenches, but instances have been
extremely rare in which the bamboo stakes
were discovered Ordinarily the traps have
been simply deep holes in the jungle, COW
cred with long grass, and although soldiers
have frequently fallen into them, no SER
ious injury has resulted. On Oct. %, when
forty-fve men Of Company I, Nineteenth
Infantry, were engaged in a reconnaissance
and chasing a small band of Tagals from
some trenches, Private Peters Karl plunged
into such pit with its sharpened bam-
boos, and had his leg and foot severely
lacerated, which put him out of service.
Fortunately, he did not tumble headlong
into the trap, for If he had. in the opinion
OF the surgical officers. his wounds must
certainly have been fatal
