o ministration of Municipal Affairs.” He is a gold Democrat, but his boasted strength among the independent men of both parties dwindled io about 16000 total vote. Harrison’s total vote is about 140,000, than 5000 under the vote polled by Wiliiam J. Bryan. The Repub- Iican total vote is about 57,000, while Mc- Kinley polied 200,724 votes m November. The rest of the city ticket—Attorney, Treasurer and Cierk—all the town tickets and a large majo of the Common Council have gone Democratic on the tidal wave, with the possible exception of the Hyde Park town ticket. Harrison or Harlan carried every ward in the city, and the Repub machine was repudi- ated everywhere. There is reelly nothing left for the Re- publican party to console itself with ex- cept a few Aldermen whose records were good and who happened to live in wards that are usually Republican. The argu- ment of the Republicans that if Hessing and Harlan, the two independents, had withdrawn, Judge Sears would have won, does not hold good when it is shown that Harrison has a clear majority over all three. The other city ticketsin the field cut no figure at all. There was a joyful demonstration of Democrats on the street when the victory became assured, and thousands gathered in front of the newspaper offices to cheer as the news was displayed. There were impromptu parsdes, fireworks and much cannonading of the atmosphere. Carter Harrison said of the result: “Itbas been a victory of a united and not a divided Democracy. Gold as well as silver men cast t allois for me, and registered inst Republican rule. men were with me.’” nine Aldermen out in the Council. Twenty- exght Democratic candidates are probably elected out of thirty-four, and, with the eleven Democratic hold-over Aldermen, will give that party a majority in the legislative body.

LOUIS, Mo., April 6.—After a cam- paign of ihree weeks, during whicn every trick known to municipai politics was worked, the city election took place here to-day with litde excitement. The entire Republican ticket, headed by Ziegenheim, | for Mayor, w: elected by majorities from 10 18,000, in a total vote 80,000. The municipal assembly will be about evenly divided. Opposed to Ziegenheim for Mayor was Harrison (rezuiar Demo- crat) and Meriweather (boiting Demo- crat). and settles nothing as to the strength of the two parties in St. Lowis. ST. PAUL. Mi~N., April 6.—Municipal elections were bLeid to-day thioughout Minnesota, and from returns received here up to a late hour to-night the Republican party met with general success, especially on the heads of tickets. At Mankato, however, A. R. Piau (D.) was re-elected Mayor over L. A. Linder (R.). At Tracey the reform ticket was elected and license carriea. New Ulm elected a Citizen and Non- Partisan ticket, while Fergus Falis went for the Incependent candidates, Hastings, Crookston and other larger towns having returned straight Republican tickets.

Nine candidaies were in tue field The city of Madison went Democratic by fifty majority in to-day’s municipal election. The result is a victory for the tiberal element which has been fighting tne present Republican edministration for its enforcement of the midnight and Sun- day closing ordinance. McCord (R.) was elected Mayor of La Crosse, and the Democrats were victorious at Oshikosb. WEST SUPERIOR, W Avpril 6,.—Rev. Charles Starkweather was elected Mayor on the independent ticket to-day. HEREIS 4 TWO-Y¥EAK-0LD FIEND, Bussell Freer Burns Out His Little Lr ther’s Eyes With a Poker, CHICAGO, Irx., April 6.—Russeil Freer, a two-year old boy, burned out the eyes of bis 12-month-old brother this morning with a reahot poker and it is doubtfut 1f the infant will live. The eyeballs of the baby were destroykd, the cheeks and fore. head badly seared and the iron almost penetrated the brain. The strange deed was committed during the absence of the mother, who heard theinfant’s screams of agony as she was returning home, and running into the room saw the boy sitting asiride his brother’s body with the heated fron in his hand laughing in fiendish giee. Russell heated .the poker twice in the stove, holding it to the infant’s eyes until it became cold. He does not realize what e has done. i S Lands for Staring Pe:plr. DENVER, Covo., April6.—E. R.

It is proposed the details fixed at this conference were to take the irrigated lands in the prairies and people them with the starving poor of the Eastern cities, making them inde- pendent, the Salvation army standing the expense until quarterly or periodical pav- ‘ments can be made. Rockefeller, Vander- biit and J. P. Morgan are reported 1o be behind the scheme which is praciieally to purchase the ground from the Govern- ment. .

INSURGENTS ARE N DEFIANT MO0D They Continue to Refuse to Listen to Weyler's Offrs. Cubans Will Not Cease Fight- ing Until Independence Is Graated. Rivera Will Not Be Shot Unless Per- mission Is Granted by M drid Authorities. NEW YORK, N. Y., April 6.—The Sun’s Havana cable says: Desertions are still very numerous in the Spanish army. At Matanzas a company of forty-seven men passed over to the insurgents on account of the scanty and poor food sup- ply and the non-payment of the money due them. The authorities are careful to | prevent this news from being printed bere | for fear it may influence the restof the army to follow the same course. Clara province the desertions are still more numerous. By orders from Madrid, Weyler is trying again to induce the insurgents to accept the alieged reforms, and has employed for that purpose Senor Mario Garcia, ex- Mayor of the town of Sancti Spiritus. Senor Garcia, notwithstanding the ill- success of his former proposals, indirectly made to Gomez by the correspondent of El Liberal, Senor Morot, has again ac- cepted the mission and hus written the Cubans in a pleading way and asked their acceptance of the reforms. General Weyler suggests to the insar- gents that after the present plau of re- forms had been practicaliy tried in the island Spain will grant to Cuba more lib- eral home rule. He holds out the pros- pect of a general amnesty, including the pardon of all Cubans who are in the revo- tionary ranks and all who are under charges before the Spanish tribunais for common offenses. He adds that in the treaty of capitulation the insurgents will receive all the military honors of a belliz- erent army. It is positively known that notwith- standing ail the semi-official Spanish news 1o the contrary, General Gomez has sternly rejected all those proposals ana warned Senor Garcia that if he ever fails into his hands he will be banged as a traitor. The same attitude is assumed by the A com- mittee from General Jiminez Castellanos was dismissed by President Cisneros with | the the answer that though the Cubans do not | like to ill-treat official deputations, they will be obliged to arrest and try before a drum-head court-martial all who may in future enter the Cuban camp with pro- posals for peace not based on the abso- lute indepéendence of the island. Tbere is great excitement among the uncompromising Spaniaras of Havana be- cause the proceedings of the court-martial against General Ruiz Rivera bave been delayed by orders from Madrid.

The press censors havs suppressed all news abont resolutions protesting against the shooting of Rivera presented in the United | States Senate and in all manifestations of | symypathy for Rivera in that country. General Weyler very reluctantly gave the oraer to the court-martial to delay the sentence, out he has not ordered the pro- ceedings to stop. Rivers, therefore, may be shot whenever Weyler can secure per- mission from Madrid. - RIVERA’S CONDITION, Wounds Aggravated Uwing to the Ig- norance of Spanish Doctors. NEW YORK, N. Y., April 7.—A Snn special from Havana says: It is difficult GENERAL to get frum Spanish sources any news | from San Cristobal concerning General Ruiz Rivera. The press censor vermits only a few unimportant details to be known. Itis stated here that General Riverais worse from his wounds and that heis suffering from fever, probably the result of unskiilful treatment by his physi- cian, The room in which he is confined has no sanitary conveniences. Nothing that might be called antiseptic treatment is applied to him or to his chief of staff, Colonel Bacaliso. His case is 8o serious that the Cubans believe that poison is ap- plied to his wounds, but it is more likely that he is a victim of the prevaiiing ignor- ance among the Spanish milltary doctors. The Spaniards say that he is well treated, and they doubtless believe this to be true, but the scanty medical resources at San Cristobal are certainly imperiling his life, It is learned from reliable sources that when Kniz Rivera was captured he was marching eastward to confer with General Gomez in compliance with orders from his chiel. General Gomez approved of Rivera’s refusal to listen to the terms of veace brought to him by tne Spanish Com- missioners. Gomez says in a letter ad- dressed to a friend in Sancti Spiritus “I bave little doubt that the real pur- pose of General Weyler in making ail these overtures for peace is to prepare a trap for me, and assassinate me if I had the weakness to yield to a conference un- der a flag of trace. Every day I feel more indignant over the doings of Weyler, and I am resolved, if the Spaniards do not soon change their criminal methods of warfare, t0 issue orders for strong retali- ation by the Cuban army. “We are meeting their crimes with the honorable conduct that should character- ize all civilized belligerents, but thereisa limit to my endurance and I am tired of seeing Cubans barbarously murderod by the Spanish columns. My belief that Weyler intends to assassinate me is based upon reliable information.”” - Recent news from General Gomez is to the effect that the wound he is said to ‘have received three weeks ago near Ar- royo Blanco was merely a scratch and that he is now in perfectly good health. - Drowned in the Kiver, NEW YORK, N. Y., April 6.—Edward Stern, a retired importer of hosiery, jumped or feil from the ferry-boat Bowery Bay while she was on her way to Astoria from the foot of Ninety-second street at 5 o'clock last evening. He died a few min- utes alter being taken from the river. Stern was 50 years of age, and boarded at the Orivntal apariment-house. He had no relatives in this country, was.unmar- ried and well-to-do. He was lormerly in buiness in Lispenard street and retired only recently. He was stricken with paralysis a short time ago. el ROBBERY OF A POSTOFFICE. Postmaster Carrick cnd His Daughter Bound and Gagged by Men, Who Make o Big Haul CLEVELAND, Onro, April 6.—A special to the Ecripps-McRae Leag from Tiffin, Ohio, says: Postmaster Carrick and his daugnter, at Rockaway, the eastern part of this county, were bound and gagged last night and the postoffice burglarized. Carrick was brutally assaulted. Nearly $2000 in money and securities were stolen. Bloodhounas have been taken to the scene. It was well xnown in the neighborhood that the Postmaster was a plucky man and would give up his life rather than surren- deranything in the office, For this rea- son it is believed that the robbers were well acquainted with the office workings and wacched a chance to surprise Carrick. Belore they overcame Lkim, however, he made a desperate resistance and for that reason they beat him after they had bound bim. The daughter heard the scuffling, but before she cou!d make any outcry she was also bound and gagged. The authorities have a general 1dea who the men are and with the aid of bloodbounds they hope to capture them in a few days. e -1bbey, Sehoeffel and Grau.

Thousands of the Home!ess Being Cared For in Tents on the Hillsides. While the Situ:ticn Is Thought to Be Improv:d, the Worst Is Yet to Come. NEW ORLEANS, La, April 6.—A special to the Daily States, dated Helena, Ark., April 6, says: The river declned eight inches last night, making two feet from the highest mark reached this year, but still a foot and & balf above the high- est flood mark of previous years. The danger is not over, but the situation is improving. The number of refugees is ncreasing every hour, as beleaguered fam- | ilies from points remote from the river are arriving. Severil expeditions were sent out of here to-day to rescue negroes on back plantations, who are cooped up in gin- houses and barns. The overfiow on O1d Town Ridee, which is provided with a private levee, is deeper by two feet than ever Enown before. Engineers calculate the crevasses in the Arkansas levee and from Helena to La- | conia, thirteen in number, are carrying off | a third as much water as is conveyed in { the channel of the er. Helena is pro- tected by cross-levees. Drainage and | seepage water is being pumped out by | poweriul hydraullc pumps running day | and nigbt. There is dust on the streets | here, while a wall of water to an average | height of fifteen feet surrounds Helena. | The city 1s taking care to-day of 1500 | homeless negroes camped in tents on the | | hillsides.

At some points the river is stationary and at others it is actnally ‘alling, but everywhere there is the feei- | ing that the worst has not yet arrived, and news from higher poinis on the river seem to confirm these forebodings, | At Helena, Ark., and at Greenville, | | Miss., where the water has been so high, | | 1t is now going down, but the snbsidence will probably be but temporary. Further south, at Natchez, the river is slowly ris- |ing, and ihe greatest anxiety prevails, The Levee Commission at Natchez has issued a warning predicting the worst overflow in the history of this country, and entreating every man and boy in that part of the S:ate to suspend ail business and begin work strengthening and raising | the leveées to meet Lhe expected deluge. | This advice is being taken, and work on an extensive scaledwill probably be put | into operation in that part of the State. Another place where there is the great- est anxiety 1s at St. Joseph, Mo., where | the weter is already dangerously high and | still rising. At Kansas City the river is almost up to the danger line and is steadily rising. Un- less some chunge occurs quickly extensive floods will occur on the lowlands all along | the river.- | The news from New Orleans is of an en- couraging character. At all the weak points along the river the levees have been | strengthened and preparations have been made to transfer material quickly to any part that may be threatened with a break. As to the city levees there is no anxiety, for the water that may come down can be easily handled, and a break in them is not considered possible. VERMILLION, 8.

From an eminence can be seen a vast sheet of wuter just above the Lee and Prentiss farms, two miles from here, reaching from bluff to biuff.

THEY MAY FIGHT AGAIN. It Is Said That Fizsimmons Will Yet Consent to Have Another Battle Wich Corbett. NEW YORK, N. Y., April 6—For the | past few days the local sports have heard | rumors of another fight between Corbett and Fitzsimmons. From a supposedly authentic source comes a story that Fitz- simmons will shortly reconsider “re- tirement” and will agree to meet Corbett in a battle to be foug:t in this State under the existing provisions of the Hor- ton boxing laws. It is alsc reported that both pugilists, with the aid of their backers, will manage the entire affair, dividing the receipts and ng the benefit of all perquisites, such as the kinetoscope feature. A certuin authority who is very close to Fitzsimmons said yesterday: “All this talk about Fitz<immons winning the fight in Carson on a fluke has its effect on the Cornishman, Bob's ratirement was a hasty move, and nobody knows it better thau he and Julian. “Corbett’s excuses and statements that be is still the better man are slowiy but surely convincing Fitzsimmons_that it will be to his advantage 10 meet Jim agsin | and beat him even moredecisively than at | arson. Constquently it is a good bet that | the Cornishman, aiter a ceriain length of | time, will come out of his retirement and | agree to take on Corbett again. “From what I hear it would notbe a surorise to me if they meet again in the | ring inside of the next twelve months, | and it is a fact that their immediate | friends are talking of making a match to | be decided in New York State. This would mean that they could not fight toa finish, | buteould meet in a bout limited to twenty- five rounds. ~As regards the purse money, I consider that no particular sum will be | hung up, as the principals wouid be the | proprietors of the arena in which they meet. “In other words, the report reaches me that Corbett, Fizsimmons and their re- spective backers miend to build a big | arena somewhere north of this city’s | its, probably in Westchester County. this way they would come in for the en- tire net recerpts, which would be divided between the men on a private basis of per- | centage. They would have no side bet posted, as that would be against the law, | and the referee would have power to stop the affair when in his estimation it be- | came brutal. i “An additional ‘rake off,’ it is said, | would be another et of pictures by a ma- chine to be controlled entirely by the pugilists. Ialso hear that tney feel con- | fident of having no interference irom the authorities, because, they argue, their fight would be nothing more than a glove contest.” | b WILL CREATE A STIE, 4n Interesting Kuiing Made by the L.

The Alabsma Statesman Condemns the Barbzrous Fo'icy of the Spenish Officers. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 6.—Two of the appropriatian bills which failed last session—the sundry civil and Indian— were reported to-day and were placed on the calendar, soon to be acted upon. Senator Morgan’s resolution recognizing a state of war in Cuba and extending bel- ligerent rights to both sides in the con- flict was taken up and discussed until 2 o’clock, when it was placed on the calen- dar, with a notification that Morgan would move to take it up to-morrow and that the vote on the motion would be regarded as a test vote, * In the course of his speech Morgan inti- mated that the Senator from Maine (Hale), who was challenginz some of his asser- ns, was in constant communication with representatives of the Spanish Gov- errment and got his information from them, Hale denied the charge and said be got his information of affairs in Cuba from Americans who had been there—Ameri- cans by name, by descent and by resi- dence. Morgan confessed, after the experience of the last four years, he was utterly hope- | States would reach the point of sending | warships to Cuba to demand redress for | our ciiizens. He cited the case of Dr. Ruiz, stating that he had information that Consul-Gerneral Lee had reported that he had been murdered by the Spanish authorities. “II ti:is were true,” said Morgan, “in- stead of bunting upa lawyer to go to Cuba and hunt up evidence such as might be iaid before a grand jury, I wouid bave sent a warship to demand indemnity and the punishment of the officials guilty of the murder.” Speaking generally of the course of the war in Cuba Morgan condemned in strong | terms the action of the Spanish forcesin | destroying property not for military pur- poses but forresentment, and in executing | prisoners of war. Hespoke of the fact that Spain had recognizea the Southern confederacy and accorded it belligerent rights even before the battle of Manassas was fought or the Southern States had made any display of their strength. He therefore argued "that the United States would be perfectly justified in recognizing claiming neutraiity between the contest- ants as was propesed by bis resolution. At2 e 3. Morgan was shut off by the regular order, the bankruptey bill, and his resolution went back to tne calendar; but he gave notice that he would continue | his remarks in the merning hour to- morrow and demand a iest vote on the passage of the resolution recognizing Cuban belligerency and proclaiming neu- trality. Thé remamder of the day’s session was given to debate on the bankruptey bill. Stewart (Pop.) of Nevada occupied the floor for three hours and a half in opposi- uon to the principle of involuntary bank- ruptcy and drifted into the question of bimetallism, during which he and Chan- dler (R.) of Vermont indulged in an en- tertaining dialogue. At 4:30 o'clock the Senate adjourned. OF INTELES: 10 THE COAST. Patents Issurd to Inventors and New Pensions Granted. W ASHINGTON, D. C., April 6.—George A.
