CHICAGO, April ga very light vote
was cast at the city election today. In
each Of the townships an assessor, collec-
tor. supervisors and clerk were chosen.
Thirty-five aldermen were chosen, the
Republicans securing nineteen and the
Democrats sixteen. The new council Will
contain forty Republicans and twenty
nine Democrats. In the elections for
town offices, the Republicans carried the
South Town, Town Of Hyde Park and
Town of Lake, while the Democrats car
ried the North town and West towns.
In the county towns the Republicans
made a clean sweep. One phase of the
election over which there was much BIT
terness manifested was the fight made
by the Municipal Voters league against
what the league denominated gangstels
and grafters." 1t indorsed in all thirty
nine aldermanic candidates, and repudi-
ated twenty-one OF the thirty-nine In
dorsed nineteen were elected, and OF the
twenty-one repudiated twelve were elect
ed In the city of Quincy the Democrats
carried the day, electing almost their
entire ticket. In Joliet the Republican
ticket was elected. and in Kankakee the
Democrats were successful.

Of his force is composed of Free Staters,
and the advantage gained by them will
have a most disturbing effect on the
minds of the Free State population. The
impossibility of effecting complete pro-
lection for the moment to all farmers
in the south and southeast sections of
the Free State is recognized at Bloem-
fontein. Men, who surrendered under the
proclamation OF Lord Roberts, are now
being punished for the reliance they
placed in the ability of the British to
protect them. As the correspondent fur
ther remarked:
This is a careful matter of considera-
ton, and every effort will be made to
help them, but treatment of the Beers at
the hands of their fellow countrymen
cannot be permitted to hamper the mill
tary plans of Lord Roberts
The Daily Telegraph, which takes
more humane view, says:
ut is of the first Importance to protect
those burghers who have trusted in our
power, and surrendered all means of de-
Tending themselves, as it is to win vic
tories against those who are still in
arms"

correspondent joyfully predicted that the

1t became evident that there was a fight
on, and the senators engaged in the con-
troversy manifested much feeling. The
whole question OF the unanimous consent
agreement was gone over, the whole de-
bate upon 1t being read.
Mr.. Chandler asked Mr.. Lodge a aues-
ton about the construction he placed
upon the agreement, and the Massachu-
setts senator replied:
Il am not-engaged in placing construc-
tons upon unanimous consents am act
ing within my rights to make this mo-
tion, and the friends OF Mr.. Quay refuse
to permit 1t to be voted upon.''
Mr. Ttllman suggested TO the New
Hampshire senator that he telegraph Mr..
Hoar and ascertain what he had done.
Even this bit Of humor did not quiet the
senator's

chair IN the immense dining room of the
Ryan last night and with smile of
qualification on his face, listened to the
unlimited praise bestowed on the navy
and upon the men who served under him
on the Maine and st. Paul, as well as
upon himself His slight build and gray
hair were not sufficient to make him
notable, but in his carriage, in the CHEEKY
twinkle of his eyes and In the quiet dig
nifty OF his carriage, there was much to
stamp him as the type of American naval
officers. 1t was these characteristics and
other true American qualities brought
into play which made it possible for rep
resentauve citizens of St Paul to unite
with grauhCauon in paying honor to him
and the service which he represents.
