the Senate showed sixteen hold-overs
and fifteen new members, with one
absentee. on turning over the gavel

paid a high tribute to his successor.
After organizing, committees were

Democrats win in st. Louis.

st. Louis, April IA Democratic vic
tory was scored in to-days city cleo
ton, the majorities ranging from 5000
to 10000 on the vote for six councilmen,
tWenty-eight members of the House of
Delegates, members of the Board of
Education and the inspector of weights
and measures. At midnight almost
complete returns showed that every
Democratic candidate had been elect
ed. The Republicans claim that gross
frauds were committed at the polls.
Throughout the state the Democrats
lost in three third class cities, which
they formerly controlled.
In st. Louis interest was centered in
the council ticket, headed by the So
called reform ticket, on which the
names of Republican and Independent
candidates took the places of some
Democratic candidates for the House
of Delegates in order to eliminate from
the House of Delegates the so-called
combine" element. In several strong
Republican wards the Democrats elect
cd their men. So far as returns show
at midnight, not an Independent can
uldate was elected. 1t is considered

Washington, April 7.-Mr. Cromwell,
counsel for the Panama Canal Com
pany, and Admiral Walker called at
the State Department to-day to talk to
Secretary Hay about the work of the
subcommittee, which is to visit the
isthmus to appraise the value of the
work the company is now doing on
the canal. 1t was reported to the
Secretary that the company now en-
ploys 100 engineers, about forty-flve
medical officers and about 1,5OO labor
ers and foremen on the canal. These
are nearly all at work in the Culebra
cut. Five thousand dollars a day is a

this work
Admiral Walkers estimate of the
number of men to be employed on the
Panama Canal when the United States
formally shall have entered upon the
project is 10000.
For all practical purposes, this gov
eminent now is engaged in the con-
struction of the canal. Under the
agreement signed on March 8 by Secre-
tary Hay and Mr.. Cromwell. the
American representative of the new
Panama Canal Company, the work of
construction was to be continued by
the canal company until the exchange
of ratifcations of the canal treaty with
the understanding that the United
States should pay for such construc-
ton work.
The men now engaged on the canal
construction work are principally ia
macians. One. of the purposes of the
visit to the isthmus soon to be made
by subcommittee of the present
canal commission is to investigate the
labor supply. The local labor supply
is insufficient to meet the demand. 1t
Is probable, therefore, that laborers will
be drawn by the thousand from the
Southern States and the islands of the
West Indies.

Statement of an Alleged Witness
in Proceedings Instituted.
New York, April Evidence was
given to-day by witness, who said
he saw the automobile accident near
Paris, France, last August, which re-
suited in the deaths of Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles L. Fair. before a referee in
the suit instituted by Mrs. Fairs
mother, Anna Nelson, and other rela-
tlves to recover from Mrs. Theresa
Alice Oelrichs and Mrs. Virginia Van
derbilt sisters of Mr. Fair large por-
ton of the Fair estate.
1t is contended that Mrs. Fair lived
after her husband. The suit is ex-
pected to determine also whether an
agreement to settle the estate by the
payment of $250,000 shall be cancel
led.
Lucien Mass. of Paris, testified that
he witnessed the fatal accident, and
that when he reached the scene Mr..
Fair. was absolutely lifeless," but that
Mrs. Fair was breathing. He noticed
a nervous contraction of her face and
hands.
Asked why he had left the scene of
the accident before anyone else ar
rived, he replied:
Because / did not wish to compro-
mise myself. 1 wished to give succor,
but l found l could not. My course
could have been traced"
When questioned as to some of his
subsequent movements, Mass refused
to answer, on the ground that it would
tend to degrade him.

Atlanta, April IA telegram was
receiVed from Washington to-day, an
nouncing the acceptance by the Sec
rotary of the Treasury of the block
known as the First Baptist Church
block as a site for the new govern
ment building to be erected here. The
price to be paid for this property is
$199, 200.
At the request of Congressman l..
F. Livingston, by wire, however, final
decision in the matter has been held
UP temporarily. though it is believed
there is no doubt about the purchase
of this property The block in ques-
ton is the next block beyond that in
which the present public building is
located.

officials will be held, it is stated, rel
alive to the proposed entrance of that

property.
Sims Bond Is S25,OOO.
After a preliminary hearing the
bond of G. Mailman Sims the bank
clerk who stole $4,000 from the Capt.
tai City National Bank, has been fix
ed by United States Commissioner
Carter at $4,000. Sims could not give
the bond, and he has gone back to jail
Sims was not represented by an at
torney. He practically waived the
hearing and the only proceedings were
the fixing of the bond. AS always,
Sims refused to talk of his case.
The officials of the bank believe
now they are on the eve of locating
the property in which Sims has in
vested, and think they will recover
considerably more of the amount than
has yet come to sight.
Malt Extract Tax Stands.
A number of Atlanta druggists call
ed to see Controller General w. A.
Wright to-day to get him to suspend
the collection of the 5000 tax for the
sale of malt extract until the Legisla-
ture meets this summer, when they
hope to be relieved of the payment.
The Controller General stated he had
no authority whatever to relieve them
of the tax and could take no action in
the matter. 1t is not the belief that
the Legislature intended to put the
5000 liquor tax on dealers in malt ex-
tract, and 1t is thought the law will
be made specific on the point at the
coming summer session. AS it now
stands, however, the Controller Cen
eral holds 1t must be paid.

Chicago. April Garter H. Harrison
was elected Mayor to-day for the
fourth time, his majority over Greame
Stewart, the Republican candidate, be-
ing 894S. The total vote was: Harrison
1898: Stewart 1885, Cruice, indie
pendent labor, 1899; Breckon, Socialist,
1l.212; Haines, Prohibition, 2,S4S.
In the last mayoralty election the
total vote was Harrison, Democrat,
156756; Hanecy, Republican, 12S,41S;
Hoyt, Prohibition, 1928; Collins, So
cialist. 1884.
The early returns were in favor OF
Stewart, and at one time he was g.
0OO ahead, but the later returns cut
down his plurality steadily, and the
Republican leaders in private CONVEX
sation admitted Stewards defeat by
about 5000. In the first precinct of the
Twenty-frst Ward, in which both Har-
rison and Stewart reside, the vote was
Harrison, Al; Stewart, 1O1. In the last
mayoralty election the vote was Har-
rison, 50; Hanecy, "a.
The chief issue in the campaign was
the traction question, both candidates
favoring ultimate municipal ownership
of the street railways. Stewart adj
vocated an immediate Improvement of
conditions, making the best terms pos
sible with the companies. Harrison rec
commended a delay until the city had
obtained what it desired from the
companies.
Mayor Harrison said tonight:
Regarding the present victory less
as victory for myself than as a vic
tory for municipal ownership-a vic
tory which should lead to the develop
ment as national as we'll as municiL al
utilities. Partisan lines were cast aside
to a great extent but the result is at
the same time a substantial indorse-
ment of my administration"
The Republicans elected John F.
Smulski for city attorney by $500 plu-
rality and Fred c. Bender for city clerk
by 1900 The Democrats elected Ern-
est Hummel for city treasurer by 21,-

Washington. April THE list of
not include all of the persons set out
in Senator Hanna's statement upon
which the Navy Department acted.
Owing to the interruption of tele-
government here has not been able to
obtain direct informant ton as to what
is going on in Honduras. Repeated
efforts to communicate with Admiral
Coghlan, supposed to be at Puerto
Cortez, have failed. 1t is known that
the Admiral has had occasion to land
marines from his squadron.
There is no consul named Campbell
at Tegucigalpa, and consequently no
such person could have been held
for ransom as reported. The consul
at Tegucigalpa is Alfred X. Moe, of
New York. He was last heard from
about the middle of March.
A private report received here re-
fers to a most arbitrary act upon the
part of the President of Honduras in
forcing the bank of Honduras to open
its safe and surrender 100000 pesos
under penalty of being looted. This
fact may be the foundation for the
report that the American consul had
been subjected 10 tribute. 1t was also
stated that the capital city was under
martial law and foreign residents we're
being badly treated by the police au-
thorities. The collier Marcellus has
left Baltimore for Puerto Cortez, Adj
miral Coghlan having advised the
Navy Department that his coal supply
was low.

Little Rock, Ark, April Dis
patches from all parts of Arkansas
show that thus far not an Independ-
ent or a Republican has been elected
in any of the municipal elections. The
only two Republican counties in the
state have no railroad or telegraph
lines and reports from them will be
delayed. At Hot Springs a very hot
fight has been waged. George Belding,
the present Mayor, has been reelected
by a large majority over II. McLen-
don, the reform candidate.
In Little Rock there was no oppo-
sition to the Democratic city ticket
and a light vote was polled.
