In nDoubt-ResuIts EIscwhere.
CHICAGO, April 3.-Carter II. Har
rison has been reelected mayor of Chr
cago for the second time and will next
week commence his third term as the
chief executive of the city. His total
plurality over Judge Elbridge Hanecy,
the Republican nominee. will be in the
neghborhood of 2S,300 votes. The total
vote of the city, with eight precincts to
hear from, is Harrison, 1S5,275; Hane-
cy, 12I, POP; Harrison's plurality, 2S,OI3.
In the last mayoralty election the vote
was: Harrison CDem.), 14S,496: Carter
CRep.), 10I ,437; Harrison's plurality, A.
059. In the presidential campaign last
fall the city vote for president was: Nc
Kinley, 1S4, 1856; Bryan, III, ,1Oo: Nc
Kinley's plurality, 1921. Samuel Al
schuler, the Democratic nominee for gov
ernor of the state, ran ahead of Bryan,
however, his vote being 1SS,J21 against
172,3S6 for Yates, u plurality Of 16,l3o
for Alschuler.
Out of the 80 wards of the city Harri-
son yesterday carried 26 and Hanecy y.
The vote was badly split, some of the
strongest Republican parts of the city
giving only small plurality for the
party nominee and some of them going
for Harrison. who. however, suffered in
some of the Democratic strOngholds. The
city wards were redstricted after the
presidential election, and the regular ma
jorities in some other wards were turned
squarely around from what they have
always been.
The redistricting will make some diff
ference in the complexion of the next
municipal council, as several of the alder
men who in ordinary circumstances
would have held over were redistricted
out OF their wards. For these rea-
Sons it is impossible at this time to pre-
dict the exact formation of the new
council, but the indications are at pres
ent that the Republicans will have
working majority. The present body
consists of 80 Republicans, 27 Demo
Gratis and Independents. OF the hold
overs 16 are Republicans, Is Democrats
and independents.

Alden Bass in "A Poor Relation

The Troy, N. Y, Record of March
IA contained the following in regard
to the attraction which will appear
here Saturday, April 10: No more
faithful copy of Sol Smith Russell's
Noah Vale could be asked than is
Alden Bass, and he has followed his
preceptor's teachings well. Those
who saw "A Poor Relation" at the
Griswold yesterday afternoon and last
evening were not disappointed in the
comparison. Mr.. Bass is possessed
of the same easy manner and quaint
humor of the great Russell, acting the
character of the poor but proud bene-
factor as beftted the part. Mr.. Bass
has associated with himself company
of competent players, who filled their
assignments acceptably. Whatever
pleasure there is to be found in "A
Poor Relation" must be drawn from
the action. No elaborate scenery or
intricate mechanism enters into the
play to cover up shortcomings. And
as the applause was hearty and spon'
taneous, it is to be inferred that Rus
sells masterpiece is in capable hands
The little Mckinley children, as Rip
and Patch, easily won the hearts OF
those present, and success crowned
their childish efforts.

Senator Proctor on Cuban Situation.

Senator Proctor on Cuban Situation.
Senator Redfeld Proctor, who has
just returned to Washington from a
three weeks visit to Cuba, is satisfied
that the constitutional convention will
accept substantially all the conditions
of evacuation named by Congress in
the Plat amendment to the army
appropriation bill. He SAYS
The better class-the merchants
property owners, as well as the farm
ers-are all anxious for peace. All
this talk of an anti-American uprising
is funny. The people laugh at it.
If any hothead should try to incite a
rebellion, or advise the people to take
to the woods" their term for an up
rising, he would find that no one would
follow him. The people want peace.
There are a few who are vigorously
opposing this government in the con
vention, one of the most radical being
negro named Gomez, who is not a
relative of Gen. Maxine Gomez.
Senator Proctor said he did not at
tend any of the sessions of the conven-
ton, his opinions being formed
through discussions with members he
met socially and in the hotels. He
paid visit to Gen. Gomez, who. he
thinks, is most friendly to this coun-
try. Ihe general has a large follow
ing. As he has taken no part in the
discussion of the Plat amendment,
his silence is interpreted as acquies-
cence.
Senator Proctor spent an hour at
the White House with the President
Monday. 1t is believed generally in
Washington that Senator Proctor went
to Cuba as the representative of the
President to report upon the outlook
there.
