MCDONALD GAINS FOUR VOTES
Net Result In the Recount of the Firth
County COmmissioner Dis
trict,

With a total Of thirteen ballots thrown
out because improperly marked, the recount
made in the county court in the Mcdonald
Lobeck contest for commissioner of the
Fifth district gives Mcdonald two less than
the canvassng board gave him and Lobeck
six less that the board gave MIN, or a net
gain of four for Mcdonald on the count up
to last night, which count includes all the
seven precincts Of the Fifth ward and the
First, Fifth and Sixth precincts OF the
Sixth ward. Thirty-one ballots were laid
aside in the two days counting to be passed
upon and the objections were argued yes
terday afternoon. After the arguments
the judge admitted all except thirteen
Twelve Of these we're because signed by
only one judge OF election and the majority
Of them were intended for Lobeck The
thirteenth, also a Lobecl ballot, was re-
jected because the voter had writer
name in after Mickeys. All rejected ball
lots Of these precincts are therefore dis
posed Of permanently, so that the figures
given above will stand without amendment
The reason the skip is made from the First
to the Fifth precinct OF the Sixth ward is
that the boxes containing the ballots of the
Second, Third and Fourth precincts were
not certified by the judges of election after
the fashion inaugurated by County Clerk
Haverly, and the judges win be called in
to make such certihcation before the boxes
are opened. Fifteen of the twenty-fiv pre-,
oincts in the district are yet to be counted
In the following tables the return of the
canvassing board appears in the first col
umn under each name and the total Of the
courts recount, exclusive of protested bal
lots later admitted, appear in the second
column.

MADRID, Jan. liking Alfonso, who had
expressed the intention OF attending Senior
Sagasta's funeral today, was dissuaded by

pressed upon his callers, who went to the
executive Offices at his request, his desire
that some legislation dealing with the trust
question should be enacted at the present
session of congress. No particular measure

The trust question is a most diflcult ono
to handle in a legislative way" said Cen
eral Grosvenor, as he left the executive
Offices, but l think some measure will be
enacted into law at this session. 1t will
be necessary to steer a middle course be-

people and those who profess to see little
evil in trusts or combinations of capital.
That such a course viii be adopted by con-

pose of disposing Of lot OF routine busi-

turned by the returning board as Scatter
ing and blank" The last letter he received
from that officer said that since the board
has made its returns there is no way OF
determining how many Of these 5000 and
odd votes are scattering" and how many

termined TO recommend the payment Of the
premiums on the sale OF common stock
tickets on the basis Of the total vote. in

FRICTION MAY BE RESULT
Brotherhood of Hallway Trainmen
Ask for more Than Roads Are
willing 20 Pay.

ST PAUL, MINI, Jan lit became ap-
parent today that unless the Brotherhood
Of Railway Trainmen recede from two
points the settlement Of the wage contro-
versy cannot be reached without acute
friction.
II became public today for the irst time
that the men demand not only a 20 per
cent fiat increase IN pay, but the addition
Of IAN absolute rule guaranteeing double
pay for handling freight trains OF more
than thirty cars, or trains hauled by more
than one engine"
The railway managers uniformly speak
Of this demand as ''prepostsrous."
The Great Northern sent a Communication
to its committee asking II a proposition for
a smaller increase than 20 per cent would be
received for consideration.
The reply was that no application for
less than the full amount could be received
under the instructions Of the chiefs Of the
order.
This explains why practically no progress
has been made towards a settlement.
meeting will be held in Chicago to-
morrow by the managers and several from
st. Paul will attend.
ST. LOUIS, Mo, Jan. LIP. II. Morrissey.
grand master of the brotherhood Of Rail
road Trainmen, and A. B. Garretson, as
sistant chief counsellor OF the Order of
Railway Conductors, arrived in St. Louis
today to confer with the committees Of their
respective orders in regard to the increase
Of 20 per cent demanded from the western
roads, which the roads have refused.
An executive session was held soon after
the arrival Of the officials. 1t was under.
stood that the point blank refusal Of the
railroad officials to grant the Increase asked
necessitated the presence OF Messrs. Nor
rissey and Garretson In st. Louis before
further action could be authentatively
taken.
In addition to the 20 per cent increase
demand was made for an additional man
on each train of thirty cars, or a train
hauled by two locomotives. This was also
refused.

LEAVE TRUSTS FREE OF LAW
James EckeIs Says Less Rather Than
More LeRisIRtiOn Is
Needed.

CHICAGO, Jan. flames H. Eckles, ex-
comptroller OF the currency, was the prin-
oipal speaker at the banquet OF the Illinois
Manufacturers association tonight.
Mr.. Eckles deprecated the tendency to
enact laws to control or supervise business
enterprises.
He declares that the country did not need
laws TO control its business enterprise, but
would be better off II there were less law
rather than more. He asserted that the
one thing from which business interests
suffered was over-legislation. instead Of in
sufficient legislation. The appeal which
the business men might we'll make to the
legislatures was to be left to regulate their
own business undertakings free from leg
islatlve interference.
The evils alleged to spring from combna-
tions Of capital were greatly exaggerated
and none Of the pessimistic predictions re-
garding them had been realized.

FREIGHT MOVES TOO FAST
Western Roads Propose to LeaEthen m
Trip from Missouri River
to Chicago.

CHICAGO, Jan. IA movement is on
foot by the managers Of the Western rail-
road lines to lengthen the schedules of
fast freight trains between Chicago and
Missouri river points by at least six hours:
The exceedingly fast time which is at
present maintained on all roads has re-
duced the train load to point where
transportation Of certain packing house
products is furnished on an exceedingly
narrow margin Of profit.
1t is estimated that II the time was
heightened between Chicago and the river
points so that the minimum schedule
could be twenty hours, the trainloads would
be increased 20 per cent.
Should this step be taken It is likely
to cause some controversy between eact-
ern and western roads, asathe former have
fixed their schedules - sccinmodate the
western traffic.
