Elections at Other Points.

Chicago, April 6.-In the municipal
election Tuesday, the Republicans
elected eighteen aldermen, the Demo.
Gratis sixteen, and one independent
Republican who repudiated the ma
chine" in the Sixth ward, was chosen
a member of the council. The last

Democrat and Socialist. The next
council will be formed of SO Republi-
cans, 81 Democrats. 2 Independents,

other Republican, and 1 Socialist.
The chief interest in the election,
however, centered in the vote on pro-
posed municipal ownership of the
street railways. In this connection
what is known as the Mueller law"
passed by the last state legislature,
was submitted to the people. The law
authorizes cities in Illinois to con-
struct, own, operate, and lease street
railways, and to provide the means
therefor. On this proposition, the vote
stood l52,434 for the proposition, and
30,1O4 against; on the proposition that
the city should at once take over the
street railways into it's control, the
vote stood 12O,744 for and 5O,S93
against. For the temporary licensing
OF street railways until such time as
the city is prepared to take them over,
the vote was 120,181 for and 48,O56
against.

now it is not probable that there will
