Many Tickets, Though He Had No
Opposition For Nomination.
DENVER HUGHES WON FOR CITY SOLICITOR
A Lively Fight For the Honor OF Running Fo
School Board--Baird, Chase and Reed VIM
4 Results For Council and tho Minor
Places on tho Ticket.

The Republican primaries Saturday.
were hotly contested, the various can
didates being so anxious to win that
they worked up the vote equal to elec.
tion time. There were no startling In
cidents during the day, but there was
feeling enough that the reaction will
be. felt at the polls, It Is said.
Workers surrounded the polls In
droves, besieging every voter that ap-
preached. BY the time one of the rank
and file reached the booth he had a
hatful of cards bearing the names Of
those who. were anxious to serve the
public. A peculiar feature Of the tight
was the struggle that was made for
positions that have no salary attached.
and just how the successful fellows
intend to get even for their preliminary
expenses does not yet appear.
Mayor Robertson, who had no OPP
position for a renomination, was cut
several hundred votes by Republicans
who apparently were not satisfied with
his course. For councilmen in the
various wards there was no contest
except in the Seventh, where rather
warm fight was waged, resulting in a
victory for Shots.
There was a lively skirmish for city
solicitor, in which Hughes led the van
with Smith close second. Johnston,
who had piloted the local Republican
craft as chairman Of the committee,
was looking for his reward In the shape
of q nomination for solicitor, but he
ran aground in the shoals and did not
make the landing.
As much interest was manifested in
the school board fight as in any of the
other contests. A lot of new fellows
sought to break in and crowd out the
old members who we're looking for
denomination. President Baird, and
the recently.appointed Chase were
nominated, and John r. Reed will be
their running mate.
= An exact vote for mayor and one or
two other Offices, where the candidates
had no opposition, is not possible to be
given. The judges just returned the
total vote, giving the candidates for
mayor and water works trustee, and
such Offices, all the votes cast. In sew
eral wards there was no attempt made
to count the votes for the head Of the
ticket, but they just passed them all
in for James H. Robertson, though 1t
was noticed that great many of them
had the name of Robertson scratched
of. This Is true also of B. N. Winnings
for water works trustee, though not In
80 great degree. Following is the
vote as returned to the judges:

of voters.
Delegate Buckley, of Frederick

which, IL adopted, would have nulli-
fed the chief purpose Of the bill
which is to deny to illiterates any

Buckey's amendment was as follows:
"Providing, however, that nothing
In the aforegoing law shall prevent
any bona fide citizen of the state Of
Maryland having the qualifications
prescribed by the constitution from
receiving such assistance from the
ballot clerks as will enable him to
give free, independent and manly ex-
preston Of his political convictions
at the ballot box"
Mr.. Buckley made speech in sup
port Of his amendment, declaring
that the bill under consideration is
unconstitutional and revolutionary
and announcing his intention to vote
against the measure when 1t comes
up for final passage. The amendment
was defeated by a vote of 80 to 20

Dorchester; Roberts, of Wicomie, and
Garner, of Saint Marys. voting will

Washington, March 9.--Just to what

itself to the other powers regarding
the attitude of Russia in respect to
he occupation of Manchuria, and
what, If anything, has been received

cot be divulged for publication by
The officials here last night Our gov

Chinese to make any independent ar
rangement with any foreign power
while the peace negotiations are in
progress at Pekin. An identical note
conveying these sentiments has been
sent by the United States to each of
the powers interested in the settle
ment of the conditions growing out Of
the Boxer troubles. The Chinese im-
perial government also has been ac.
Quainted with these sentiments. TIL,
statement was made very positively
here last night that the United States
is not in "secret negotiations" with
any other power regarding China.
Our practice in dealing with the Chi
nese situation uniformly has been TO
make known the attitude of the Unit
ed States to all the nations interested.
and for this purpose identical notes
have been sent to them when matters
of great Importance were under con-
sideration. At the same time the in,
timation is conveyed that the London
