CUBAN ELECTIONS QUIET.
Little Interest Taken In the Mat
ter.-National Party Elects
Its Entire Ticket.

General Alexandra Rodriguez, ma.
tionalist, was elected mayor of Ha.
vana in Saturdays election, polling
1908 votes, against 6,O34 cast for
Senior ESTRADA Mora, independent.
The total vote fell about $500 below
the registration.
The national party elected its entire
ticket-eighteen councilmen, the treas
urer, one correctional judge and three
municipal judges. The other correc-
tional judgeship fell to an independ-
ent candidate, as did also the fourth
municipal iudgeship. OF the six other
councilmen four are republicans and
two nationalists; the latter ran inde-
pendently.
Reports from every part of the
island 60 to show that perfect order
prevailed at the polls.
To an American observer Of the
election, it seems as if the people re-
garded the whole matter with absolute
indifference. There was not even a
crowd in waiting to hear the result de-
clared. Not a cheer was raised, nor
were there any of the ordinary indica-
tons of election excitement, although
a demonstration in honor Of the sue
cessful candidate took place Saturday
night.
The victory Of the nationalists is
chiefly due to the fact that they were
first in the field, and had the benefit
Of q well-disciplined organization.
The Associated Press corresponder
visited many booths which were clean
and orderly. There was no confusion,
and voters were lined up awaiting their
turn. The Cu5ans. members OF the
boards said, were conducting the cleo
tons al al exemplary manner, being
an4ioIs TO show their fitness for indie
pendence.
General Wood received nothing but
satisfactory accounts from all parts of
the island concerning the behavior OF
the people during the elections. Gen
eral Lee, General Wilson and Colonel
Whiteside, all make similar statements
to the effect that everything was q
model Of quietness and order.

Florida State News.
DIR. Porter May Resign.

DR.. Joseph Y. Porter, Florida's
state health officer, il o candidate
for political honors, having received
the nomination from Monroe county
for membership of the next legisla-
ture. On every hand he is receiving
the congratulations OF his friends, who
believe that man who has made such
a splendid record in the high and re-
sponsible position he has occupied for
the last twelve years cannot fail 10 be
quite rs useful in the more limited
sphere for which he has been named.
In recent conversation, he said he
had accepted the nomination on the
condition that it should be tsodered
unanimously, and that there should be
no opposition from any quarter. It
was under these conditions that it wss
offered, and as Q nomination is equivsl-
emit to an election, it is reasonably GER
tain that he will represent Monroe
county in the Florida legislature Of
1901. :.
"Monroe has nothing in particular
to ask from the next Legislature, said
DIR. Porter, sand my efforts in that
body will be directed, so far as I may
be able, toward q betterment Of the
state institutions, such as the state
asylum for the insane at Chatfahoo-
chez, and also to do what / can for tn )
improvement Of the public school sys-
tenn Of the state. I believe there is
an opportunity for such improvement,
and I believe that I may be Of use to
the state in that direction"
DR.. Porter added that he should re-
sign his present position as state
health of6cer, as he should consider il
morally impossible that he should FIJI
the two positions, even if it should be
allowed under Law.
A friend who is closely connected
and associated with DR.. Porter and
who has been an almost constant COM
panion for ten years, said that il this
resignation. should be rendered il would
be with emo string tied to it." and
that il would be his farewell to the
position Of state health officer, for he
would never again accept il, if for no
other reason than that adverse criii-
cism might arise to assert that his res
ignation had been given with the I'M
derstanding that the present position
should be restored after time. It
would mean the final loss to the state
of the officer. who had made the health
department a model for the entire
country, and who has made its eff
cheney the GROWING record Of useful
life.

ARBITRATION FAILS
GOmpers' Plan to Settle St. Louis
Strike Falls Through.
THE TRANSIT COMPANY DECLINES
Strikers Declare War WIN Now he
WRged With Boycott as the
Weapon.

War to the knife was the slogan
adopted by the striking employees Of
the st. Louis Transit Company Satur,
day. This extreme action was decided
when the proposition adopted by the
striking street car men looking to @
settlement of the strike was turned
down by the transit company.
Samuel Gompers, president Of the
American Federation OF Labor, an.
nounced that negotiations between the
St Louis Transit Company and the
union looking to q settlement Of the
strike on the basis proposed by the
union in mass meeting Friday were
of. This announcement was made
at the conclusion of o conference
between Gombers, representing the
union, and President Whitaker and
Director Mcclure, representing the
Transit company. Mr.. Whitaker said
at the conclusion OF the confer ence
that he had no statement to make.
President Gompers made this state
ment regarding the failure to reach an
agreement:
after three hours and q half dis
cussion with President Whitaker,
am sorry to have to announce that the
company has declined to submit the
question OF Reinstatement of the men
to arbitration"
President Mahon, Of the Interna-
tional Association of Amalgamated
Street Railway Employees, when asked
what his association would do in the
premises, said:
'This Is now 9 hght to the finish.
President Gompers told me this after
noon that he proposed to turn the en-
tire power of the American Federation
of Labor, with its membership Of
1000, 900 against the Transit company
as direct stab at the vital principles
of unionism.
THE boycott to be declared will APP
ply not only to tho st. Louis Transit
Company, but to every person, every
business man, every association, and
in fact, every corporation or individual
favoring them in any way"
MOB cHAsRs A WOMAN.
Mrs. Eva DOMAIN was roughly
handled by mob at Marion street and
Broadway Sunday. As she alighted
from Transit car she was quickly
surrounded by n crowd of girls who
shouted ''Lcab" ct her. A large throng
soon joined the girls. Mrs. DOMAIN
ran down several streets with the mob
in hot pursuit and sought refuge in
one Joseph Bene's saloon, but Bene
pushed the woman back into the
street.
A woman living over the saloon sue
ceeded in getting Mrs. DOMAIN to her
apartments, but not before both had
been pelted with mud and stones. Mrs.
DOMAIN was escorted home by q police
officer. The police arrested Bene,
charging him with assault and battery.
The chief of detectives sent q cozen Of
his meu to the neighborhood of Broad
way and Marion streets later in the
day to lie in wait for other crowds
that might attack women. Two detec-
tives employed q woman as a decoy.
AS soon as the woman stepped off the
car she was surrounded by a crowd.
The detectives used their clubs, doing
much damage to the heads of those in
the mob. The crowd soon broke and
ran.
