OPIXIOKS EXPRESSED BI STATESMEN
Chicago, April 7. To-day, in the most
exciting scramble of an election ever wit
nessed in Chicago, the Republican leader,
Hempstead Washburne, came out on top of
the heap, the first Republican, save one,
elected JIayor of Chicago, in 15 years. This,
at least, was the apparent result, as shown
at 11:30 p. M., when 433 precincts out of 513
had been heard from, giving him a lead up
to that hour of 2,962 over the Democratic
candidate, DeWitt C. Cregier, the present
Mayor of the city.
The Democrats had a formidable split in
their ranks to contend with in the inde
pendent candidacy of ex-Mayor Carter H.
Harrison, but the Republicans were little,
if any, better off in that respect, owinj; to a
"Citizens'" movement, beaded by Elmer
"Washburne, ex-chief of the United States
Secret Service. Both Carter Harrison and
Elmer Washburne, particularly thejformer,
polled a vote that was amazing to the
straight party politicians.
One Source of Harrison's Strength
Harrison is said to have had the secret
support of a large number of the wealthy
men of the city who are backing the World's
Fair. His old-time strength with the foreign-speaking
population, especially the
Germans and Bohemians, returned heavily
to him also. Elmer Washburne's vote,
while a surprise to the machine politicians,
was something of a disappointment to his
.riends. being confined more clo'el than was
expected to the membership of the American
societies.
The turning point in the contest was, to a
considerable extent, the Irish-American vote,
and this as exerted In a decidedly singular
manner. Hempstead Washburne's wife is the
daughter of the President of tlie Hibernian
Bank. f Chicago, and large numbers of Irish
Americans, wearying of the flrht between tbo
too Democratic leaders, Harrison and Cregier.
and believing that; Hempstead Washburne was
being antagonized by certain elements solely
on account of bis wiff, rallied to his support.
The Indications at 11:33 r. M. were that, aside
from Hempstead Washburne, the other sne
cessinl candidates were about evenly divided
bei ween the Democrats and the Republicans,
bocialist Morsran's vote was unexpectedly in
significant, about one-eighth of the number ot
socialists populiilyMipposed to be In the city.
The Exact Tiguros of the Resnlr,
The exact figuros for the Mayoralty candi
dates', iith 433 precincts heard from, were as
follows: Heraptpad Wahlmrne, 40.002;
Cregier. 37.MD: Harrison. 3-1.S1G; Elmer Wash
burne, 19.771; Morgan. 1,638.
The interest shown to-night in the returns
surpassed anything ever displayed toward a
National election. Madison street and Fifth
avenne, where theneuspanerbullerinslwere to
be seen, were blocked for'hours by thousand
of people, yelling themselves hoarse and blow
ing tin horns till black in the face. Through
out the night the corridors of the City Hall
were thronged to suffocation, while in the
theaters returns Mere read from the stage.
The day was marked bya number of bloody
affravs.cnlmlnatiug.in several tragedies. Even
the bootblacks fought over politics. Frank
Gallic aced 11, was Blabbed by another boy
uamed Clements because Galllo abused Clem
ents' candidate. Gallio's injuries are serious.
Thomas Alaskell. a switchman, was shot and
fatally wounded at the polling place at Forty
ninth stieet and Wentworth avenue by Hen
Luppie. another switchman. Political differ
ences and whisky oaused the shooting.
In a Freo-for-All Fight,
James Scott, a colored laundryman, was shot
through the shoulder at another polling place.
His assailant escaped unknown in the con
fusion. Two policemen were participants in
the affray. In the Thirtieth ward J. H. Clark
became involved in a dispute, ending in his
being knocked down and having hfs chest
kicked in. He cannot recover. Ex-County
Commissioner Hetumeliram and Alderman
McAbee were among thoe who took part m the
many less lata! encounters that took
place in other parts of the city. In one in
htance a ticket peddler named Quinu. who had
had his bundle snatched away frum bun by an
opponent, returned with a fresh bundle, and
a revolver openly strapped to his belt. The
pistol produced quiet at that precinct for the
leniiindcror thodaj. This, howevei was the
only instance in w inch resort was made to such
extreme tactics of the frontier.
At 12:30 Hempstead Washburne. the sup-
Eosed Republican Maor-elect, was enjojing
imself with his friends atthe Marquette Club,
confident of his election, while at the "City H411
the Democrats were claiming that their candi
date, the present incumbent, was only 108 votes
behind Washburne, with 15 precincts to hear
from.
At 1 A. SL, Controller Onahan gave the fol
lowing figures, just completed, to a
representative of tho Associated Press: Five
hundred anil six precincts with only seven

TWO HiTEBESTING ELEMENTS.
The Citizens' Alliance and tho "Women Fig
.j, ore In tho Kansas Elections.
Kansas Citv, April 7. Elections were held
In Kansas to-aay in all cities of the first and
second classes. Although without general
political sigalScauce, tho results of the elec
tion are regarded with considerable interest
for two reasons: First, becanse the Citi
zens' Alliance has tickets in the field,
and Is fighting all tbe old parties.
The other -element In the election is the fact
that women, under the laws of Kansas, are al
lowed equal suffrage with men in municipal
elections. It has teen predicted that after one
or two experiences at the polls the novelty of
the thing will disappear, and with it woman's
interest In municipal politics. This prediction
ha not bocn fulfilled- The registration of
women at the prosent election exceeded any
lornier registration.
Tae returns from eeTeral cities show that tho
Citizens' Alliance did not cot much of a figure,
excepting where it indorsed the Democratic
nominees. In those places. they were successful
in electing the Democratic nominees. Abiline
is the onlv city reporting an Alliance
victory. The returns from Leaven
worth show that the entire Repub
lican ticket has been elected. This Is tbe first
Republican victory for six years. At Lawrence
the Republicans were also successful. At
Clay Center tbe Republicans defeated the Citi
zens' Alliance, and at Wichita the Democrats
carried everything. Atchison elects Republi
can officers, and Olatho a mixed set of officers,
with the Republicans in control. At Ottawa
all the parties combined against tbe Republi
cans, but the latter were successful.
A NON-PAETIBAN ELECTION.
In Wisconsin's Judicial Election Lawyers
Arc Fitted Against Politicians.
M iiwattkee, April 7. The election In this
State to-day was for Justice of tbe Supreme
Court. Political lines were not drawn. S. U.
Pinny was nominated by a convention ot law
yers, and E. H. Ellis' candidacy was backed by
Democratic politicians, but he was not formal
ly nominated. Both candidates were Demo
crats. Tho vote was light, but dispatches to
the Sentinel from all parts of the Slate point
to Pinny's election. He carried Milwaukee
county by over 3,000.
A Judge of the Superior Court was elected
in this county. Both candidates were Demo
crats, and with one country town to hear from
it is expected that Austin, the bar candidate,
lias defeated Ludwig, the Democratic candi
date, by a small majority. Austin carried the
city by one plurality.
BOTH PASTIES CLAIM MICHIGAN.
The Official Count Will Be Necessary to De-
cide the Result,
DETKOlT.April 7. Laterreturns from yester
day's election show the vote to have been ex
tremely light, and the result, as forecast by
retnrns thus far received, is so close that the
official count will probably be necessary to de
termine tbe result in many counties. The general
feeling up to this evening is that tbe Republi
cans elected their Supreme Conrt and Regents
of the State University candidates, and they
still claim their elections by upward of 5,000
majority.
Tbe Democrats on the contrary, say the
result is evidently so close that they are not
warranted in conceding tbe State, and assert
that later returns are running more in their
favor.
PALMER IS PHILOSOPHICAL,
Bat Be Refuses to Express an Opinion on
tho Chicago Election.
Springfield, III., April 7. Senator Pal
mer, at 10:30 to-night, was informed that
Hempstead Washburne, the Republican nomi
nee, had probably oeen elected Mayor of Chi
cago, and was requested to give his views on
the causes which led to the Democratic defeat
in that city and its political effect on tbo Dem
ocracy of tbe State in the future.
The General had just retired for the night,
and pleading excessive fatigue after bis week's
campaigning, asked to be excused from ex
pressing any opinion on the result to-night.
He appeared to take the matter philosoph
ically, however, as If defeat under the circum
stances was not entirely unexpected.
FH0M ONE SOUTHERN CITY.

Dallas, Tex.. April 7. At the municipal

result will not be known until a late hour

tions are that Conner, Independent, present

Complications Will Probably Prevent a
Strike In the Building Trades.
Detroit, April 7. The contracting carpen
ters met yesterday and passed a resolution
making nine hours the day's work for tbe com
ing season. The prospects for a strike among
tbe carpenters are not so marked as at this
time last year.
There at e not as many men disposed to go out
this year as last, but there is a movement on
foot which looks to the strike of all the build
ing trades brick and stonejmasons. plasterers,
etc, as well as tbe carpenters which, if ar
ranged, inay prove serious, but there is diffi
culties in the way of the arrangement, and
chief among these is the marked disunion of
the elements.

CL.BAK1NG THK WAI FOE THE CONTEST
I FROM A STATF COBBESFONDBKT.1
Washington, April 7. Major McKm
ley, the prospective Republican candidate
lor Governor of Ohio, takes a world of com
fort from the result of the municipal elec
tions in Ohio. "Take them all round," he
said this afternoon, "I think the municipal
elections of yesterday are very encouraging
to the Republican party. Take the election
in Cleveland, Tor instauce. At the last
election the Democrats carried that city by
nearly 4,000 majority. We have jnst carried
it by some 3,000, though the Democrats
nominated a strong man, and a good, hard
fight was made. The Eepublicans are very
active in Ohio, and there was a pretty hard
fight for the nominations."
"What do yon think has led to the in
creased Republican vote?" was asked.
"I think Republicanism is reviving, not
only in Ohio, but in all parts of the country.
The people are beginning to find out the
lalse prophets who talked about the tariff
last- year. They see that the increased
prices and all that was a part of the scheme
ot misrepresentation.
Recent Elections In New York State.
"You remember the recent local elections
in-New York State were very encouraging
to the Republicans. You can never argue
with absolute accuracy from merely local
elections, but I think tbe Republicans are In
pretty good shape all over the country."
"What is the outlook for '92t "
I think tbe Republicans are bound to elect
the President in '92, whoever they nominate.
I notice that Mr. Hill is trying to change the
issue and to put a different interpretation on
the November elections from that nopular
with tbe Democrats. I do njt know that thors
is any significance in that."
"What is the chief (
danger to the Republic
ans now:"
"I do not think that there is anything par
ticularly dangerous to tbe Republicans in the
political situation, unless it is the Farmers' Al
liance movement."
Discussinc politics further, he said that be
did not seo bow the Democrats could avoid
making silver a leading issue in tbe next Pres
iilental contest if they passed a free coinage
bill through the House, and it was defeated,
either in the Senate or by tbe President's veto.
He did not think, however, that the nomina
tion of Mr. Cleveland would necessarily be In
terferea with by that.
McKInley's Opposition to Reciprocity.
In this connection it may be said that Major
McKinley gets some credit for being the par
tial means of sending tbe Canadian Reciprocity
Commissioners home without a conference. He
and several other public men, opposed to
reciprocity with Canana, and who believe that
Blaine has gone reciprocity mad, visited tbe
President yesterday morning and it is asserted
changed him from an Inclination which he en
tertained to hear the commissioners now
that the," are here.
There is tremendons opposition all along tbe
Northern tier of States and in all of those bor
dering on the lakes against reciprocity, after
tho Blaine plan, with Canada, and the probabil
ities are that Canada will never again be in
vited to a conference. It is said that Harrison,
McKinley and other have declared that Blaine
must confine his hobby to the South and Cen
tral American republics and that this field is
quite large enough for him. Liqhtneb.
FAVA LEAVES TOE ITALY.
His Fellow Diplomats Seo Him Off But He
Declines a Dinner.
mnnAi. telegram to tb dispxtce.1
Washington, April 7. Baron Fava, the
"withdrawn" Italian Minister to the United
States, shook tbe dust of Washington from
his feet to-day and departed for .New York
whenoo he intends sailing on Saturday for
Italy. The fact that the Baron was to leave
town to-day was kept secret from all bat mem
bers of the diplomatic corps. Tho Minister was
this morning reported to be ill in bed attended
bv bis friend Dr. Verdi, who has fur
nished so much information to the public re
garding the Italian trouble. As late as 7
o'clock this evening Inquiries at the Baron's
late lodgings brought out the answer that the
venerable diplomat was still too ill to leave the
house, and that it was altogether uncertain
when be would say goodby to Washington for
ever. Yet at that hourtbe Baron was reclining
in the stateroom of tbe limited train then In
tbe neighborhood of Wilmington, Del.
Baron Fava announced to his friends on
Sunday last bis intention to leave the city to
day, and tbe diplomatic corps begged him
to accept the usual compliment of a farewell
dinner as a mark of their distinguished esteem.
Tbe Baron, however, preferred to maintain
the seclusion which he has conrted since
the International row ending in his recall
began and so declined tbe proffered honor.
His intimate friends and colleagues would not,
however, permit him to depart without some
evidence of their affection, and so a large
party went to the depot to say goodby and wish
him bon voyage. Nearly all of the more prom
inent diplomats were in the station.

tence: "I am going to h to-night." He was
prevented, however, by detectives, who arrested
him soon after.
He was charged with burglary, and a search
ot bis apartments disclosed a kit of nurglars'
tools ready for use, and also a number of forged
cbeckr. Brown has not lived with his father
for Borne time, and was to-day remanded for
trial on charges ot burglary, larceny and for
eery. The application of tbe microscope to

WE'LL BE ON PARADE.
TTTW LOCAL CLUB DIHECTOES DECIDE ON
THE OPENING DAY.
f
Local Opinion About Farrell Mr. Levis, of
Pittsburg, Wins tho Big Shoot Among
Experts ot the Homestead Gun Club
General Sporting News or the Day.
Let nobody think that Pittsburg is going
to be behind iu the opening of the baseball
season here. Yesterday the directors of the
local clnb met and after the meeting Presi
dent O'-Neil made the following statement:
"On April 22, the opening of the National
League baseball season will be celebrated
in Pittsburg with an imposing parade. The
pennant winners of 1891, that is, the Pitts
burg team, will meet Anson's men, and we
will show them the city that will own the great
flag next fall. That is all I have to say."
Mr. O'Neil Is a blessing to baseball and all
that part of humanity that taltes any interest
in the national game, because he cheers every
body. But the fact is we are to have the usual
parade celebration, and everybody will be in
line this time.
No expense will be spared to make the open
ing day a grand success. Al Scandrett, that
old and faithful person in local baseball history,
has already figured on a "great day" if the
weather is fine. Last year damped Al'a ardor,
but he is now liko a little schoolboy with a new
picture book.
Tho best of accounts, privately of course, are
being heard from tbo team at Sc Augustine.
President O'Neil, or any of tbe other officials,
Erobably don't know where they are, but The
hspatch is informed that the boys are all
right
AGAINST TRAP SHOOTING.
The Humane Society Opposes the Killing
of Pigeons by Shooters.
Yesterday was the first time in three weeks
that the Board of Managers of the Humane
Society held a meeting.
For some tlmo past a number of the members
of the board have been laid up with the grip
and this prevented their presence at the meet
ings. Atthe meeting yesterday the principal
topic for discussion was trap-shooting. This
was taken up owing to tbe fact that the State
Senate recently passed a bill which will legalize
trap-shooting in Pennsylvania If tbe State
House of Representatives should pass favor
ably on it. Tbe result of tbe discussion yester
day was the passage of a resolution by the Hu
mane Society opposing the passage of tho bill.
Copies of this resolution will be forwarded to
tbe members of the Legislature at once.
Johnny Stroup's Wager. ' '
Johnny Stroup, the caterer, will ride "Cold
Molasses," the winning horse in the "County
Fair" race scene, at the Duquesne Theater, to
night. Mr. Stroup was relating some of his
racing experiences to Harry Fulton and Jack
McUnllougb, of the theater, last night, and L.
G. Hanna, manager of tbe "County Fair," who
was present, bet him a dinner for four that he
dare not ride in the race scene at tbe Du
quesne. Mr. Stroup accepted, and will ride
the winning horse be hopes to-night.

Brooklyn having failed to answer Manager
Chapman's challenge to play out tbe remain
ing games of the world's championship series.
May Not Have Races.
none racing in toe liast is in a state or quan
day. It is now an unsettled question as to I
whether or not a bookmaker can legally, make !
a bet with another man on a horse race. This
question is so much iu th.. balance that until it
is settled by tbo Eastern courts tbe directors of
Monmouth Park are yet undecided about hav
ing their regular race meetings this year.
Opinions About Farrell.
There were various opinions expressed yes
terday among local sporting man regarding tbe
Farrell-Daly fight or glove contest. The gen
eral opinion seemed to be that Farrell is not a
"champion." His friends claim that it is only
fair until his version of the fight is beard. Not
much money was bet on tbe result here.
The Homestead Shoot.
Tbe shoot at Homestead yesterday was a
great sucoess. There were three contests. All
were at Clay pieeons. The principal, at 30
pigeons, S3 entrance, was won by H. J. Lens,
of Pittsburg. He broke 80 straight. W. S.
King was second with 29, and P. Kelsey was
third with 28.
Mr. Snyder's Opinion,
G. E. Snyder has taken down his forfeit o f
tt5 to shoot Mr. J. Lovett. Mr. Snyder says
that nnder no circumstances will ne shoot in
any contest where the conditions are "trap and
handle." He claims that tbat condition has
ruined, or at least brought pigeon shooting into
disrespect.
The Match Is Off;
Tbe wrestling contest between Ed Rellly and
Rube Collenge is "off." Reilly stated yester
day that he will not, alter tbe referee's de
cision, proceed with the contest begun on Sat
urday evening. He will, be says, wrestle Col
lenge tor $1,000 a side aB soon as a forfeit is
put up.

MUSICAL TASTE IN GEESIANY.
The Universal Preference of the People is
for the Old Masters,
fljew York Sun.
Musical taste and musical education is in
all classes of society in Germany of a very
exalted order, and the thorough under
standing of the art is, without affectation or
pretense, all in favor of the serious, and, I
might say, the scientific side. Setting Wag
ner aside, the operas of Mozart are tbe
greatest favorites, while "Pidelio," the only
opera Beethoven ever wrote, is, with his
three magnificent overtures, always played
to full houses.
The old Emperor, .however, .encouraged
the representation of more modern works at
the Operahaus, which was in a measure his
own, and be was seen frequently in his little
stage box when "Det Trompeter von Sack
ingen" or even "Carmen" was given; yet
tbe universal preference is for the old mas
ters. The prices at the Koyal Opera are
lower tban at the private theaters, of which
within the last few years some very good
ones have sprang up. The same taste
"verns the dramatic stage.
