ANOTHER TEST OF THE LAW.

Tho municipal election he'd at An
apolis on Monday resulted in de-
cisive victory for The Republicans, the
latter electing Mayor, City Counsellor
and four OUT Of six Aldermen. This is
further confederation Of the fac; that
the good and we'll meaning citizens Of
this State will not submi, to partisan
and Infamous election Law such as was
enacted by the Democratic bosses st the
extraordinary session Of the Legislature
of this State which was convened fcr
that specific purpose.
1t is the first time for many years that
the State Capital has been in control Of
the Republicans and the newly elected
officials should lay aside their partisan
ship 10 the interest Of the public good
and ain to make record that cannot
be assailed by anyone
The Democrats wete disappointed in
the result Of this municipal contest and
Of right ought to be. siuse they schemed
and oontrived in every manner possible
to so pave the way as to make it a walk
owe" for diem ia The 'uture but IN this
they failed Of their purpose and d,fest
was due to their own political blnrdcrs
ami mIsealcultions
DISTINGUISHING the good and Jaw
abiding citizens Of this State is not il
accord with the sentiments Of the people
thereof and this been been vindicated al!
every election since the passage ofthe new
law, viz: at Frederick, Baltimore City
and Annapolis, where it has been plainly
shown that the people condemn such
ncfari9us election Law by administering
defeat to the party that caused the same
to e placed upon BE Statue books.
The trial Of the new law at AnnaL oils
proves that the people will not tolerate
or sanction law that depriyes citizens
Of certain inaiienable rights, the right to
vote the highes, privilege granted and
guaranteed by the Constitution Of the
United States to its citizens
\ significant fact about the late cleo
ton is that the Democrats are now find
ing more fault with it aud ale making
more complaints about it than the
Republicans, natural result of their
disappointment
A large number of the ballots that
were thrown out at the Annapolis con-
test on Monday because OF some defect
in marking same showed an intent to
vote the Democratic ticket which goes
70 prove that the illitcrate Republicans
are making more effort to learn to cast
the ballot than the illiterate Democrats.

Arbitration Not Acceptable.

Washington, June 13.-The govern
ment has formally communicated to
the foreign powers the impossibility of
joining in joint guarantee for the
payment of the Chinese indemnity.
The difficulties in the way OF such an
arrangement are set forth, particular
ly those relating to the constitutional
restriction on the president in making
a joint guarantee of this character.
One view is that the majority of the
powers favorable to joint guar
anty will execute this joint instru-
ment, and thereafter carry on a
concert of their own. 1t that event, it
is said, the United States would
arrange directly with China as to the
American portion of the indemnity.
The representatives of most of the
European powers do not believe that a
resort to The Hague tribunal, as pro-
posed by the United States, will be
acceptable to their governments.

Havana, June 12.-The conservative
members of the constitutional conven-
ton are absolutely confident that the
Platt amendment will be accepted and
that several radicals will join with the
fifteen delegates who have heretofore
voted in favor of acceptance. The last
few days seem to have brought about
a decided change in the attitude Of
delegates who had been bitterly
arraigning the Washington govern
ment for rejecting the convention in
terpretations of the amendment.

FERRY STEAMERS COLLIDE
While Both We're Entering the
Slip Used by Both.
HUNDREDS WERE RESCUED.

New York, June 1.-THE wooden
side wheeler Northfield, in the service
of the Staten Island Ferry company,
was rammed by the steel hulled pro-
pellor Mauch Chunk used as ferry
boat by the Central railroad of New
Jersey. The collision occurred just off
the Staten Island ferry slip ct the foot
of Whitehall street and in less than
twenty minutes the Mortified, which
was crowded with passengers, sank at
the outer end Of the Spanish Line
pier in the East River. The Mauch
Chunk was badly damaged, landed two
dozen passengers who were abroad of
her Over hundred of the passengers
of the sunken Northiield were dragged
out of the water by people along shore
and the crews of the fleet of river
tugs, which responded to the ferry
boats call for help. A few OF the
North6eld's passengers were hurt in
the accident and the police believe that
some lives were lost.
The greatest service was rendered by
the tug boats which circled around the
Mortified and made bridge to the
Spanish Line pier. Men and women
clambered over the tugs to the shore
While the Mortified was well sup
piled with life preservers which were
slowed in out of the way places, not
more than two dozen of the endanger-
ed passengers were able to get the life
belts on.
The swift running flood tide and the
question of which boat had the right
of way was the cause of the disaster.
Captain Abraham Johnson was in
charge of the Northfeld and Captain
S. C. Griffin was in command of the
Mauch Chunk. Each lays the blame
of the collision on the other.
