 niCipaI Elections

Kansas City, April 5.-Unoficial re- turns from one third of the city in- cluding the decisive precincts assure the election of the whole republican ticket headed by Jay H. Neff for mayor by pluralities ranging from 1000 to 3,OO0 except Police Judge Brady, the democratic and labor candidate who is probably reelected by a small plur- ality. The new council will have q republican majority.
 The city government has been in the hands of the democrats for four years and two years ago no republican even, in the ward tickets was successful.

INTELLIGENT DEMOCRATS
To Them Mr. Cleveland Recommends
 Judge Parker.

New York, April 5.-In a dispatch from Princeton, NJ, to the World, former President Cleveland is quoted as finding in the movement looking to the nomination of Judge Alton B. Parker, for the presidency, "the great est possible relief and satisfaction"
 MT. Cleveland is further reported to have said:
 T do not see how any one protesting to be a real, intelligent democrat can hesitate to accept MT. Parker if he should be nominated, as fit repre- sentative of safe and conservative democratic principles, entitled to the hearty and unreserved democratic sup port.'
 According to the Worlds correspon- dent, MT. Cleveland said regarding the platform of his party this year:
 ''There are certain democratic doc trines believed in by the conservative element of the party which will control at St. Louis. These doctrines should in no event be evaded. Such of these as appear to furnish at this time the most vital campaign issues should be given the greatest prominence and should be announced in such a way as to exclude all doubt as to their mean ing and all appearance of .co1npro- mise"

There's a Better Feeling in Russia Toward the U. 5.
REPORT OF SIEPANOFF
Commander Ofthe GunbOat ViCksburg Was Humane at Chemulpo and Stood Ready to Aid the Sailors of the Korietz and the VariaS.

St. Petersburg, April 5.-The state ment by Capt. Stepanoff of the Variag at Odessa, on April ?. regarding the ac- tion of the commander of the United States gun boat Vicksburg at Chemul- DO, was reprinted here today. It is believed that the statement will put an end to the discussion of the incident which has been the cause of so much irritation in Russia. Capt. StepanoT says
 At the time the Vicksburg was stationed at Chemulpo her captain held aloof. He took no part inthe con- ference of the protest preceding the fight for the simple reason that he was not invited to do SO After the fight, like the others, he sent sur geOn with boat to the headquarters. Regarding his not taking Russian sea men aboard the Vicksburg this was unnecessary. It is more probable that Captain Rudinef. commanding the Nariag, did not ask it."
 The Zeituns says;
 Captain Stepanof has done well to explain the truth. It has never been to Russia's interest to make enemies, although chauvinism often has done so Russia has every reason to express her sincere thanks a-,1 recognition for the humane and noble bearing Of every power represented at Chemulpo"

He said that it had been stated by Dr. Duffield that Mir. Price would probably never be any better than he is now Therefore, said the attorney, if he is to be tried at all he should be tried at this term. MT. Nave reminded the court of the facts brought cut by the examination. That it had been shown thatthe defendant was in the most ad- vanced stage of his disease; he had fallen to the lowest depts of physical misery and that, therefore. his trial could precipitate him no further.
 Walter Bennett spoke again in behalf of the motion for a continuance and said that the assertion by MT. Nave that the defendant was so sick that he could be made no sicker and that he therefore ought to be forced to trial was the most extraordinary reason he had ever heard offered against a mo- tion for continuance. Judge Kent announced that he would hold the mat ter under advisement until today.

The Exciting Incident of a Small
 Denver Election.

Denver, April 5.-MunicipaI elections were held in several towns in Colorado today. No elections were held in any large cities. Quiet prevailed every where with the exception of the town Of Sheridan in south Denver. There Sheriff Gallagher and Mike Ryan, a saloOnkeeper. came into conflict. Gal lagher claimed that Ryan was trying to vote repeaters and drove him out of the voting booth. Ryan came to Den yer and collected a crowd of reputed gun fighters and returned to Sheridan, took possession of the voting place and drove the others out. High license was the principal issue and wherever voted on it carried the day.
 At Rockvale, Coal Creek and Will iamsburg, coal mining camps, the la Dor union tickets were elected. Breck- enridge, Alamosa and Lake City cleo ed full democratic tickets. At Mont rose, Buena Vista, Lamar and Walsen- burg, taxpayers tickets were chosen. The citizens of the latter town defeated a proposition for the municipal owner ship of waterworks. At Lamar the taxpayers ticket was opposed by the fusion democrats and -Wolcotts. A number of towns had up but one ticket.

 What crime?" Mir. Grusvenor asked. ''has been committed in any one or the federal branches of the admirIstra- ton and by whom?"
 He sarcastically remarked that when the members of the house knew enough to hurl in the face of a ma jority of the house the charge that they were covering up and protecting crimes they ought to know enough to make some statement that somebody. somewhere, had committed some crime. He declared, amid laughter. that since references to the postoficc report had been made in the house the democrats had gone through a series of "agonizims'
 'Why are you opposed to an lnves- tigation?' inquired MT. DeArmond-
 'For the manifest reason" said Alr. Grosvenor, that the. department has been thoroughly investigated. All the wrong-dOing has been laid bare"
 Mir. Grosvenor said this had teen shown by the convictions in Washing ton, Baltimore. New York and else where.

 An army correspondent at Liao Chang forwards a description of Gen eral Kuropatkin's headquarters. as follows:
 None of the pomp and circumstance of war are here, nothing but round hard work. The stone cottages built for the staff are cold and cheerless. Inside the officers have to sit in furs despite roaring fire, but they are too busy to notice the discomfort
 Every cottage resounds with the click of the typewriter, drawing up details of the disposition of troops We have eclipsed the Germans in precision and promptitude. There is no confusion or hustle. As soon as regiment arrives it is comfortably quartered in warm, roomy barracks. the men are well fed and rested and then sent to the allotted stations.
 There is no serious illness among the arrivals and no epidemics.
