CHICAGO. April s.-The elections held here on Tuesday last appear to be disappointing to all parties ex- cept the prohibitionists. Only 100,- 900 out of the 217,000 women voters registered used their franchise They had been counted upon to inaugurate reforms and their lack of interest in the election is big disappointment The reformers were anxious to se cure the defeat of Bathhouse John who was elected with a maority of only 4,O00, although there were near ly 10000 women voters registered in his district who failed to vote.
 The Socialists failed to elect sin gle member to office although it had been conceded before election that they would carry several wards.
 The Republicans failed to gain con- trol of the city government, although they have been perfecting their or ganization since the last election and 
 believed that they would sweep every thing before them.
 The Democrats lost several wards which they expected to recover from the Republicans and Progressives. The complexion of the city govern ment has changed but little, but is believed to have strengthened the po- sition of Mrs Ella Young as super intendent of the schools
 The Prohibitionists are the only ones who are enthusiastic over the result They succeeded in captur- ing twelve counties, making the total of dry counties 42.

 :'| INTERIOR ALASKA White Pass < Yukon Route Has Tak- en Over the stoss interests in
 Northern Navigation Go.

SEATTLE. April 9.--It is officially announced that the Sloss interests of San Francisco have sold their entire holdings in the Northern Navigation company to the White Pass, & Yukon Route. The deal includes forty-three steamers and f1fty-four barges.
 No information as to the future plans concerning the handling of freight for interior points has been made public. It is known, however, that the w. p. & Y.. R. have been making extensive preparations to handle a greatly increased volume of business via Whitehorse. It is also believed that an attempt will be made to divert travel from interior Alaska which has formerly gone by way of St. Michael to the upriver route, in order that business may be created for the railroad
 Alaskans who are in the city are wondering just what effect the new deal will have upon the business in terests of the interior. The w. P. X Y. R. now has complete monopoly and will be able to dominate the transportation question down the Yu- kon river to Dawson and other points below The lower reaches of the Yu- kon river may still be served by in dependent steamers if they are not crowded out by the big interests.
 The w. P. X Y. R. river steam CTS will be operated in conjunction with the ocean steamers of the Alaska Syndicate, which is dominated by the Guggenheim interests.

f|REPRO0F SUIT
 LATEST INVENTION
Would Enable Firemen to Enter Burn ing Building Without Being Af-

HIBBING. Minn., April 9.-Martin Panian, shoemaker and inventor of fireproof suit and helmet, was today considering accepting an offer from a moving picture concern to give a demonstration of his invention, which has been successfully tried out a number of times. If Panian accepts the offer of the moving picture com pany, he will wear his outfit into a real blaze and will probably be made the hero of a thriller woven around his invention.
 The suit is for the use of firemen carrying the nozzle of a fire hose. The suit and helmet are lined with two layers of asbestos and canvas. be- tween which water is circulated by means of tube which connects with the nozzle of the hose. The outlets for the water are at the hands. An other tube connected with the nozzle operates fan which circulates air through the helmet.

American and National Leagues Will Play First Games of Season on
 Tuesday Next.

NEW YORK, April 9.-The baseball season of the big leagues will open on Tuesday next. Both the National and American league managers state that the Federals have been unable to make any inroads on their lineups and promise bettei Ill than ever wit messed before.
 Reports from the managers 0f the different teams indicate that the play CTS have shown splendid form during the practice season and that the open ing games will show snap and clever ness which is not usually developed until late in the season. Many of the weaker teams in both leagues have been strengthened by an exchange of players in order to shut out the Fed erals by setting too fast pace for them.
 Baseball fans have been clamoring for reduction of the price of admis- sion to league games to 25 cents for the bleachers, but no. attention has been paid to their demands. The managers state that the salaries of players have increased more than 100 per cent during the past three years but that the expense is offset by the increased attendance by reason of the excellence of the games

1NCRElSEO' RATES
 ARE EFFECTIVE
the Earnings of the Eastern Railroads.

WASHINGTON, April 9.-Rate h- creases. by way of elimination of al lowances to industrial lines, went in to effect today on eastern railways with approval of the Interstate Com merce Commission. The result of this ruling means millions of extra dollars to the roads. The allowances to the steel and iron industry's in dustrial lines alone amounted to $15,- 000,000 and the commission felt that by approving the elimination of this system. it would be paving the way to increased revenues without mak-- ing an immediate rate increase as re- quested Further aid to railroads is likely to develop at an early date in the way of an authorization for in creases on import business" Here tofore the roads have charged high CT rates for domestic business than for goods imported and transferred to rail carriers. This was done under the plea that it stimulated trade. Now American shippers are objecting, because they face keener competition since the new tariff law went into ef- feet
 The Interstate Commerce Commits sion has indicated that it is rather agreeable to boosting revenues from this source instead of allowing fiat in creases on existing domestic rates.
