The CHICAGO CAMPAIGN
One Of the Most Bitter In the His.
tory Of the City.


Chicago, March 30.---Chicago is ex
periencing one Of the bitterest mayor
atty campaigns in the history of the
city. Mayor Edward F. Dunno is the
democratic candidate while the repub
licans are seeking to elect Fred A.
Busse, at present postmaster Of Chi
cago. At the beginning Of the cam.
palgn the street railway ordinances
were the issue, but such a bitter per
sonal fight has developed that the real
issue has almost been lost sight of.
Every newspaper In the city, both
morning and afternoon, with the ex-
ception OF two, are supporting Post
master Busse and the traction ordin-
anees, recently passed by the city
council over Mayor DUNES veto.
The interests Of Mayor Dunno are
being looked after by the two news.
papers Of w. r. Hearst and the-voters
are being treated TO some choice po-
litical arguments. Ancient history,
some Of It said to be true and a great
deal Of 1t declared false. is being res
directed and as a result one libel
suit as a direct result involving ST.
100000 has been started and many
more are threatened.
The workers of both parties have
made thorough house-to-house can
vass Of the entire city an Friday night
figures were offered which showed
the election Of both tn candidates by
large majorities. The legislature at
Springfield has adjourned until the
day after election 80 that the Chi
cago members could return to their
homes and get into tn fight for their
respective candidats.

TO AVERT STRIKE
Railway Managers and Employees
VIII Meet With Government
0ficials In Chicago.
BOTH SIDES ARE STILL FIRM
Employers Declare No Further Con-
SESSIONS VIII Be- Made and the
Men State They Are Ready
To Go Out.

Chicago, March 30.--Whether or moi
there is to be strike Of the employ
es in the train service Of the western
railroads depends on a meeting to be
held here Saturday morning between
two Of the government officials and
the representatives Of the union and
the railroads. The meeting was
brought about by the general man
ayers Of the railroads who appealed ia
Washington for settlement Of the
difficulty under the terms provided in
the Erdman act. The government
will be represented by Martin A.
Knapp, chairman Of the Interstate
commerce commission and Charles P.
Neil, commissioner Of labor while @.
r. Brown, chairman Of the board OF
managers will be the spokesman for
the railroads and Grand Chief P. H.
Morrissey Of the railway trainmen's
union and Chief Conductor A. B. Gar
retson Of the conductors organization
will look after the interests Of the
men.
Before leaving Washington Friday
for Chicago on their mission to bring
about an adjustment Of the trouble by
Cancellation, Messrs. Knapp and Neill
had the assurance Of both opposing in
terests that everything possible would
be done to prevent a strike.
The same stumbling block that pre-
vented the railroads and the men from
reaching a peacable settlement still
remains however. The railroads FRI
day night declare they have conceded
everything they possibly can and the
union representatives are just as en-
phatic in their declarations that fur
ther concessions will have to be made
by them or Saturdays meeting will
be failure so far as preventing q
strike is concerned.
Both sides held separate meetings
Friday but nothing new developed as
1t was the general sentiment among
the representatives Of the men as well
as the railroads that nothing should
be done until the government repro
sentatives had an opportunity to try
and settle the trouble by mediation.
The Brotherhood Of Locomotive
Firemen and the railroads are still try
Ing to settle their differences.

Washington, March 2g.-President
Roosevelt Is giving earnest consider
alton to an invitation extended to him
Wednesday by the Illinois Msnufac-
turers association to talk to that body
in Springfield at an early date on the
railroad situation. It was said Thurs.
day that some Of the members OF the
cabinet and interstate commerce com
missIoners who participated In Wed
nesday nights conference at the White
house xere Of the opinion that Il
might be well for the president to at
tend the convention and make a state
ment as to his attitude. These opin-
ions have had some effect on the
presidents mind but 1t was said at the
White house that the president had
not reached decision in the matter.
During the day the president had a
conference with Frank B. Kellogg,
special counsel for the interstate com
merce commission concerning rail
road matters.

BRYAN's RAILROAD VIEWS
He Makes Them Known In a Letter
to q. M. Whitney.
While Advocating strict Regulation
There 10 NO Danger That Invest
ments win Be Endangered.

Boston, March 30.--H. NJ. Whitney
prominent Massachusetts democrat
Friday night made public letter he
had just received from William j. Bry-
an, dealing with the railroad question.
1t follows in part;
Il All In favor Of both national and
state regulation and l also believe
that public ownership Is the ultimte
solution Of the railroad question. In
my discussions, have pointed out
that because Of the danger Of centrali-
cation in ownership by the federal
government Of all the lines, l prefer
system In which the federal govern
ment will be confined to the necessary
trunk lines and the ownership OF the
rest Of the lines be left to the states.
"As an advocate Of regulation Of
the strictest sort, l can say to you
that there Is no danger whatever that
this regulation will be carried 10 the
point Of preventing reasonable re.
turn on money invested in the railroads
Of the country. And also assure you
that whenever public ownership Is
adopted by the states or by the nation
the stockholders may expect to re-
ceive price at least equal to the value
of the physical properties OF the road
but no such assurance ought to be
necessary, because the publis has

meeting Of the grand Jury being held
Friday, a pause was given In the
briber-graft investigations so far as Of
fetal action was concerned Satur
day the grand jury expects to conclude
at least temporarily, It's investiga-
tons into tile alleged bribery Of IS su.
pervisors by the Pacific states and
Home Telephone companies to which,
according to the prosecution, II Of the
IS. have already confessed before the
inQuisitorial body. The investigation
Of this subject has resulted In the In
dictment Of various corporation Off
cials and several members Of the mn
nicipal administration.
A sensational statement was given
out Friday by Special Agent VIM. J..
Burns, and other members Of the
prosecution to the effect that Mayor
Schmitz is desperately trying to force
the resignation Of five Of the super
visors, so as to defeat an alleged in
tention Of the supervisorial board to
revoke certain Of the public service
franchises which the prosecution
claims were secured by bribing the
board.
Rudolph Spreckles, financial guar
antor Of the prosecution Friday gave
out a statement respecting the fund
Of 100000 which he had guaranteed.
It was upon this guarantee that the
bribery graft investigation was com
menced. Mr.. Spreckels said that thus
far less that half as much has been ex-
pended as has been contributed by the
citizens of San Francisco. He added
"that the prosecution will never be
hampered by lack Of funds" however.
Mr.. Spreckles said the prosecution
without reservation expects to send all
Of the chief bride givers, high pubic
service corporation officials and others
to the penitentlary for the crimes
charged against them. He thought the
investigations and prosecutions will
extend throughout the present year.
The sensational statement that
every person openly identified with
the prosecution of the alleged graf
tiers and bribers is carrying revol-
yer concealed about him, that several
of the more prominent are employing
each a body guard, and that an at
tempt to rescue Abe Ruef by force is
not unlooked.for, was made Friday by
one Of the chief investigators. He
also said, and 1t was subsequently con-
firmed that Eiisor Buggy has given or

FENCES MUST CONE DOWN.
Secretary Garfield VIII Make No Ex-
ceptIons Even at Request Of the
Governor Of Wyoming.

Washington. March SO.--In response
to q telegram from Governor Brooks
Of Wyoming, Secretary Garfield states
that he cannot make any departure
from the order requiring that fences
on the public land be removed. Gov.
ernor Brooks telegram was addressed
to the secretary Of agriculture and is
as follows:
Owing to the extent Of cattle
mango In Laramie, Albany and Con-
verse counties, Woming, 1t would be
very dangerous to have all the fences
removed that the government has or
dered down, as cattle would be at
large and spread disease everywhere.
A few months time should be given
these cattlemen to dip infected herds
a. per regulations, before the April
fence order 10 enforced"
The communication was referred by
Secretary Wilson to Secretary Garfield
and the latter replied:
"As congress did not amend the
fencing law as suggested by the de-
partment, I cannot make exception re-
garding special fences. The facts to
which you refer were fully known last
winter to the cattle and sheep interests
affected, and ample notice was given
Of the result II no legislation were
enacted. No action other than the en-
forcement Of the law can now be
taken by the government"
