cLEvRlAND,s NEW MAYOR.
single Tax Advocate Defeats Repub
Ncan (-n ndtdate.


Cleveland, o., April 2.-On the face of
the early returns Tom l.. Johnson. the
millionaire single tax apostle, has car
Of about 1000. Mr.. johnson claims his
election by 5000.
All the first returns indicated heavy
gains. surprising the vote of
Mr. Farley, the present democratic
mayor, who defeated former Mayor Me-
Kisson by $500 plurality. The first thlr-
ty precincts showed democratic gain
of seven to precinct These precincts
are from all parts OF the city and are
hardly likely to be changed by subse
quent returns. The other democratic
candidates all ran behind Johnson, and
the remainder of the ticket Is In doubt.
The victory of Mr.. johnson has an es-
pecial significance by reason of the fact
that he is believed to have aspirations
to succeed Senator ]. b. Foraker In the
United States senate. and 1t is not at
all unlikely will be candidate for the
presidency in the democratic convention
Of 1904. He conducted the campaign sin
ele-handed and created remarkable en-
thusiasni by his method Of fighting.
Mr.. Akers' defeat is attributed large
ly to his utilization with the McKisson
faction of the party. Johnson's election
was due to the independent vote to a
considerable extent. Thousands OF re-
publicans went to him who were
counted for Akers.

Queens Illness Due to Quarrel.

Amsterdam, Nov. 25-Before his mar
riage, Prince Henry, consort OF Queen
Wilhelmina, lived for time at a pace
beyond his means, and fell into the
hands Of money lenders. The debts he
contracted were to be settled after his
marriage with the rich young queen.
Quite recently Henry made clean
breast OF the matter, to her majesty
Upon learning all the particulars, she
declined point blank to pay her con
sorts debts. A very violent scene took
place between them, which ended in
Henry rushing away to Germany and
Wilhelmina being taken ill. Premature
birth Of the queens little one followed.
1t is said that only the most implorirg 8
telegrans sent to him by the queens
mother, Queen Emma, induced Henry to
return to Holland. The queens mother
is anxious to preserve appearances at
least. Since his return to Holland,
Henry has not been once to the palace.
where his queen is. though she is still in
a dangerous condition.
As proof of the serious character Of
the queens illness, in spite of all reas-
suring reports to the contrary, may be
mentioned the fact that the recent OF
fetal gazette did not contain a single
royal command, which ls an unprece-
dented state of things.
