independent public ownership, 1892.
Never before in the history of st. Louis
has a mayoralty election been fought so
stubbornly. Until complete returns from
the last ward had been received the issue
was in doubt, and the official canvas Of the
returns may yet change the complexion of
the result.
The other candidates for city offices either
ran slightly ahead or behind their party
leaders, and the democrats and republic
cans about equally divided honors for the
offices other than that of mayor. The
proposition to increase the bonded indebt-
edness of the city by 100000 for the pur-
pose of making public improvements, which
was strongly Endorsed by Mayor Wells and
his party, was overwhelmingly defeated.
Two amendments to the city charter were
also defeated by large majorities.

Declares Roosevelt Friend of Jews.

Speaking at Zion banquet in London last
night Israel Zangwill declared that in the
whole history Of the world the Jews never
had a better friend than President Roose-
welt. Referring to Great Britain's offer of
territory in East Africa, he said the bulk
thereof might be used for rearing goats,
but it was doubtful whether a settlement
500 miles from the sea offered sufficient
basis for a prosperous Jewish colony IF
England really wished to offer a solution
of the Jewish question" said Mr.. Zangwill,
.she should enable them to expand under
the same self-governing conditions over a
considerable adjoining area. SO they might
be inspired to colonization on great scale"
