Chicago’s Council Did Not Meet This Morning. ADJOURNED UNTIL THIS AFTERNOON. Both Parties Claim to Have Elected a Mayor. PROSPECTS OF TROUBLE. CHICAGO, Nov. 6.—There is no certainty that Alderman George B. Swift will be al- lowed by the democratic members of the common council, backed by the city law de- partment and the police force, to take the mayor's seat at the regular council meet- ing and exercise the mayoralty powers un- til a successor to the late Mayor Harrison is elected. The situation is complicated by the state- ment of Corporation Counsel Kraus that he will render an opinion to the council declar- ing that Alderman John McGillen was le- gally elected mayor pro tem. am boss here,” said Chief of Police Brennan in the city hall this morning, “and 1 shall be governed in my actions only by the law department of the city.” ‘That was taken to mean that if the thirty democratic aldermen at the special council meeting decide not to surrender to the thirty-eight republican members and the democratic corporation counsel renders an anti-Swift opinion, then the chief of police will use his power to put McGillen in the mayor's chair. ‘Two democratic aldermen, Jerry Mulvi- hill and Michael Ryan, almost came to biows in the city clerk’s office this morn- ing because Alderman Mulvihill was ac- cused of being a traitor to his party. The mayor's office was locked and guarded by police, and the same precautions were taken in the council chamber, only aldermen and officials being admitted to the latter place. Adjourned Until 5 O'Clock. Later.—The city council met at 11 a.m. No republicans were present. An adjourn- ment was taken until 5 p.m., and the ser- geant-at-arms instructed to compel the presence of absentees. —$<—$<—___ JUDGE BOND'S SUCCESSOR. Speculation in Baltimore Regarding His Appointment. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. BALTIMORE, Md., Nov. 6.—The general impression here is that President Cleveland will appoint a successor to the late Judge Bond of the U. S. Circuit Court shortly after the election. it is also the general impression that the new judge will be from either Vicginia or South Carolina, and that Maryland will be passed by in the appoint- ment, although the greater part of the business of the court ‘s here in Baltimore. Several, members of the local bar are w! ling to take the place, among whom a-e State Senator Thomas G. Hayes, who held the office of United States district attorney during Cleveland's first administration; Congressman Harry Welles Rusk, John F. Preston, James Alfred Pearce, Secretary of State Wm. T. Brantiy, Judge Hryan of the Court of Appeals, and others of tess ncte. Senator Gorman is irgly to all t and to intimate that a Murylande™ stanls a poor show of gctiing the appeintment. Immediately after the election an effort will be made to secure the removal of Attorney John T. apsor. The democratic leaders cordially dislike Mr. Ensor, and charges will be pre- ferred against him, alleging that he is’ a bitter partisan, and especially obnoxious to democrats. Mr. Thomas Clendenin is said to be slated for the place. Hiram Watty, a noted republican colored politician, still holds his position as inspec- tor in the custom house. A short time ago he was removed by special order of Secre- tary Carlisle, and his successor appointed. In the meantime Mr. I, Freeman Rasin, the democratic boss, and Congressman Harry Welles Rusk, chairman of the city execu- tive committee, made a deal with Watty, who has great influence with the colored voters. In consequence of the deal Rasin and Rusk went to Washington and _pre- vailed on Secretary Carlisle to retain Watty in his place. As a result, Watty and his adherents are openly supporting the demo- cratic ticket. No one denies the correct- ness of the above statement, and among local politicians of both parties Messrs. Rasin and Rusk are being complimented on the skill with which they managed the af- | fair. | The republican local committee asked for | contributions from the federal officials here, | but secured very Ittle cash. Not to be | outdone, the democratic committee did like- wise, and secured many contributions from both republicans and democrats now in the custom house and post office. It has been a very queer campaign, and the result may also be queer. With four tickets in the field, and general apathy reigning throughout, the result may be surprising. pulcee anes BALTIMORE’S LOCAL FIGHT. Repeaters From Washington Said to Have Arrived. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. BALTIMORE, Ma., Nov. 6.—All day yes- terday and today the workers of both the republican and democratic party have been engaged rounding up the voters, prepara- tory to the tinal contest tomorrow. ‘The re- publicans are trying with all their energy to keep the colored voters in line for their ticket, while the democrats are exerting ail the power of their unrivaled machine tp break the color line and secure at least part of that large vote for Gen. Latrobe. The democrats are working in two ways. ‘They are offering so much to those negro voters who will vote the straight demo- cratic ticket, and to those who are unwill- ing to vote the democratic ticket they offer haif the price of a vote, provided they agree to remain away from the polls aito- gether. Congressman Rusk, chairman of the dem- ocratic city committee, claims that Latrobe will be elected by at least 6,00 plurality. Other democrats claim a larger majority, and assert that the negro vote which their ticket will get will more than offset the number of whites who will cut the ticket. Tne independents appear to have lost heart in the last day or two, and many of them will vote the republican ticket. The only question now is as to which ticket will get the bulk of the negro vote. If it is given to Malster he will win, other- wise Latrobe will succeed himself. The democrats have plenty of money, and are ready to spend it freely. It is already asserted that gangs of repeaters from Washington and Wilmington have come to town to vote for Latrobe. The democrats held their final meeting of the campaign Friday night, and the re- publicans closed their appeal to the people Saturday night on the city hall plaza. The republican workingmen held a mass meeting Saturday night and had a parade. The democratic parade Friday night was the largest ever seen in Baltimore. For the first time in the history of the city large numbers of colored men marched with the democrats, and were treated as equals. —_—_—___ Ff MEASURES FOR REVENUE. What Speaker Crisp Says About Tariff and Tax Bills. CHICAGO, Nov. 6.—Mr. Charles F. Crisp, Speaker of the House of Representatives, arrived at the Palmer House last night. Mr. Crisp said: the House will have some very import- ant legislation before it at the beginning of the regular session in December. Mr. Wilson's committee wiil have its tariff bill ready at an early day. The subcommittee has already decided on rates in the schedule and the general committee will consider them some time next week. I believe Mr. Wilson's committee will recommend a re- duction of the tariff to a revenue basis, in accordance with the declarations of the na- tional democratic platform. The tax on re- fined sugar may be reduced considerah! but the tax on whisky and beer and toba co may be increased. It is estimated, I be- lieve, that an increase of one cent on whisky will add $1,000,000 to the revenues. mueb | The present tax on whisky is ninety cents, and say it is increased to $1.20, that would BOLITHA J. LAWs, 7-20 Formerly at 411 7th st. nw. mean an increase of $30,000,000 to the reve- nues of the government.” TOMORROW'S ELECTION Ss. The Oandidates to Be Voted for in Various States.

The issues and interests are varied, and there are many tickets in the field. Ohio, New York, Massachusetts, Virginia and Iowa command the most gezi- eral attention, for in these states the lines have been most fiercely drawn in the cam- paign. In each of these, but New York, a governor is to be chosen, and in that state the fight is directed against Isaac H.

The Most Remarkable Cave in Utah's Criminal History. SALT LAKE, Utah, Nov. 6—Harry Ham mond, twelve years of age, was convicté o: murder in the second degree in the distric: | court for murdering Clyde Robinson, seven years old. The muzder, was committed on June = last, and is the most remarkaile case in | Utah eriminal history. On that day Harry Hammond and George Gaylor, another small boy, left the former's home to go shooting, taking with them a breech-load- ing shotgun. Upon retu:ning home in the evening young Hammond,with gun in hand, went to the Robinson home, and, hiding be- hind a high board fence, discovered the Ro- binson child on the limb of a tree, a short distance from the ground. Taking deliber- ate alin he carriedout a th-eat, made pro! viously, by firing, and young Clyde Robin- son fell from the tree dead. oe Case of Consul Hoge. According to a dispatch from Baltimore, the recall of Col. J. Hampton Hoge of Vir- ginia, United States consul at Amoy, China, just as he was about to embark at San Francisco is based on representations by | Mr. Musgrave, a lawyer of Baltimore, that he has attempted to defraud clients of his, by name, the Merchants’ Protective Credit and Collection Bureau, out of about $400 of the hand and eye to accuracy and de collected by him on their account. Mr. Musgrave recently had an interview with Secretary Gresham on the subject. He said that he was prevented from instituting civil proceedings against Col. Hoge because of his departure from the state, and that in order to avoid detention Mr. Hoge had giv- en his clients a check for $325 in part pay- ment of his indebtedness, which check went to protest. Mr. Hoge had started for San Francisco before it was learned that the check could not be collected. The mat- ter was laid before the President, and he directed that Mr. Hoge be recalled to Wash- ington pending an investigation. Another charge against Mr. Hoge is that he has im- posed on a Washington tailor to a large amount. It is also reported here that he was constantly intoxicated and disorderly. on the trip from El Paso to San Francisco and that he had trouble with the conductor of the train. His friends assert that Col. Hoge is a high-toned gentleman and that an investigation will show that he has been most cruelly slandered. + e+ Craze to Make Arrests. Agnes McCullough, a colored resident of Navy place, was before the Police Court today on a charge of keeping a disorderly house. Policeman Stevens swore out the warrant because of what had been told him. Several policemen were called, but they had not heard any noise in the house. There was not a single word given in support of the charge, and Judge Miller said there seemed to be a perfect craze to arrest some- body on Saturday night on a charge of this: kind, and he thought the officers had better be more careful about making the arrests, The charge was dismissed. —— The Charge Nolle Prossed. In the case of Herman Donath, arrésted a few days ago upon the charge of embez- zlement in connection with his agency of a Philadelphia slot machine company, the charge has been nolle prossed.

Harris, cOmmissioner of education, was transmitted to the Secretary of the Interior today. The ‘work of the bureau remains with the same organization as hitherto, namely, the di- vision of correspondence and records, the division of statistics, the division of library and museum, and the division of inter- national exchange, for the comparative study of national school systems.

It is an occasion of Ymportance, especially owing to the changes now in progress in educational systems throughout the world. World’s fairs have exerted great influence upon the progress of the mechanic, arts ever since the tirst one held at London in 1851. The South Kensington Museum is the result of the studies of intelligent Englishmen upon the causes of superiority in the finish given to French goods. Anglo-Saxon nations seem to have the great gift of devising machinery. with which to conquer nature. in 1870 Gladstone estimated that the power of 6,000,000 British workmen, reinforced by machinery, created an annual product of manufactured goods equal to what the 300,000,000 of workmen of the entire world could have furnished before 1750. But this gifted race fs found to lack aesthetic taste. its mind has a dynamic rather than an aesthetic tendency. Its products represent an immense amount of physical force, but not so much of a high grade of intelligence and taste. Strange as it may appear, it is possible to elevate the productive power of the whole people in this way, and it is Not necessary to have any ignorant or un- skillful people reserved for the lower forms of industry. Machinery sets free a larger and larger number of workmen to ascend into. those departments of labor devoted to the artistic finish of goods, to the crea- tion of means of luxury and to the more important vocations which have for their objects thé refinement and cultivation of the intelleét and the extension of moral and religious~ education. Those who have at heart:the spread of enlightenment and the glevertion of. the masses have reason to re- jofce at tls "spectacie. ? World's Fai World's fairs have taught the new lesson that it is a matter of national concern to educate the taste of its people by the es- tablisment of schools of art and design and by elementary art education in the peuple’s schocls of all grades. ‘The movement :irst imitated among the English speaking )eo- | ples through Prince Albert's efforts in En, land,,and which resulted in the estab ment of the South Kensington Museum and the system of special schools in industrial extended to this country soon after Ibiy. in, d#.L.

The steamer W. W. Coit, which since the close of the excursion season has been ly- ing off the 12th street wharf, was totally destroyed by fire about 2:30 o'clock yester-, day morning. Mr. James A. Richardson, the watchman, was aboard at the time, but succeeded in getting off, and when the fire department reached the wharves it was found impossible to reach the burning ves- sel. Mr. Richardson, after enjoying an oyster roast, had turned in about 1 o'clock, and was awakened by the odor of burning wood and smoke, when he made his es- cape, after finding he could not reach a boat, by swimming. The boat had long been known in the Potomac, having been here as a transport a short time during the war, and subsequently ran to Norfolk and the river landings, and was last owned by Howard Plass of New York, who, it is said, had $25,000 insurance upon her, which is thought will cover the loss, As she laid in the stream she was regard- ed as some obstruction to navigation, and last week Harbormaster Sutton swore out a warrant so charging. While the fire was burning Hunter Aukwood of 915 3d street scutheast accidentally got overboard at the lith street wharf, but was rescued by Sergt. Sanford and Officers Treadwell and Flather. ; —>__—_ The number of victims of the Santander calamity may never be known.

The election in Virginia is the only ohe that is expected to refiect senti- ments on the financial question, and this will be a sort of post mortem affair, too late to influence legislation and valuable only to the democrats as indicating what they may expect in the southern states against the coming around of another elec- tion. The Tariff in Ohio. In Ohio, and there alone, will the tariff question enter, and it is not expected that the Semocrats will learn a lesson from the result there, however disastrous their de- feat may be. The fight thefe is directly on the tariff and the democrats anticipate noth- ing else than a decided victory for McKinley and protection. There is some irritation on the part of the ways and means committee at the fact becoming known that the Spring- er free wool bill has been incorporated in the new tariff bill that is being prepared, lest this should have a bad effect on Mr. Neal's canvass in Ohio. This is an unnec- essary irritation, since there has probably been no doubt in the minds of the people of Onto as to the attitude of the democrats toward wool. The expectation is that Mr. McKinley will have a large majority, and consequently the election will be a verdict in favor of the McKinley law as far as Ohio is concerned. No Effect This, however, will have no effect on the Work of the ways and means committee and they will draw no lesson from it which will cause them to change their plans. Their intention is to go ahead now as rap- idly as possible with the preparation of a stricUy revenue bill, and this revenue fea- ture will extend even to the free list to a sreat extent, since those articles which it is intended to put on the free list, it is de- signed, shall-be such as do not now produce any revenue. The subcommittee expect to be able to complete their bill and submit it | AN to the full committee within two weeks. Another Financial Fight. Another fight on the financial question ts anticipated as soon as Congress reconvenes, | and the only thing anticipated from the result of the election’ in Virginia is that, if the democrats lose heavily there, the party in Congress at the next session, or at least the southern members of it, will be eager to do something to appease the wrath of the —— and some wild demagogy may re- sul British Sailors Killed by a lo. Secretary Herbert yesterday received a cable message from Capt. Picking, com- manding the United States fleet at Rio de Janeiro, as follows: “An explosion of a large quantity of gun- powder belonging to the insurgents occurred here today on Governor's Island. Two British naval officers, a boatswain and one man were killed and five others seriously injured. They were getting sand at the time near the magazine. Admiral Mello claims that the Brazilian government is responsi- ble.” The cause of the explosion is not stated nor is the ground on which Mello bases his assertion that the government is re- sponsible for the accident clearly under- stood, unless it means that the explosion was not the result of his bombardment of the city. Governor's Island lies above the city of Rio and ts about five miles long and two miles wide. The powder of the insur- gents was stored on it and Mello’s flagship, Aquideban, is anchored nearby as a guard. The loss of this powder is a serious blow to the cause of the insurgents, as it is believed they are short of ammunition. Although the accident occurred on an island in the possession of the rebels the British govern- ment will call on the de facto government of Brazil for an explanation of the killing of its subjects. It is the only government recognized by the powers, and while the explosion happened on an island in the hands of the rebel, still Mello cannot be asked to apologize, even though the loss was caused by the carelessness of some of his men. ————__-+-e-—____—_- Garfield Hosp!
