DEFEATS TWO OPPONENTS FOR
MAYORALTY OF CHICAGO.
HIS PLURALITY PLACED AT 39,610.
_
Election XVa» Upon Ducal IsHtieannil Many
iiepiibiicnng Voted For the Present in¬
cumbentantl Succeanful Candidate.
Carter H. Harrison was re-elected
ma y° r of , Chlca . &° Tuesda _ , y , by a total , , .
vote of 146,914, against 107,304 for
Zinar R. Carter, the republican can-
didate,and 45,410 for John P. Altgeld,
the independent . . . democratic . ,. candidate. ... ,
Harrison’s plurality 39,610.
The democrats also carried all the
town elections, electing assessor, col-
. , town . cleik , , .
lector, supervisor and in
the north, south and west towns, the
majorities ranging from 6 to 10,000.
The vote from the wards indicate
that the republicans have elected four-
teen aldermen and the democrats nine.
probably bo necessary to determine
the result.
The city council has been composed
of forty-five democrats and twenty-
three republicans, and the democrats
will without doubt retain a working
majority. local
The election was entirely upon
issues, no element of national politics
entering into the campaign. The firm
stand taken by Mayor Harrison
against the proposed fifty-year exten-
f ion of the street ear franchises was a
strong element of his popularity and
gained mauv from the republican par¬
ty, besides holding closely to him
many of the democratic party who
might have cast their votes for the in¬
dependent democratic candidate.
Another fact that drew to him many
republican votes was the existing op¬
position to the republican machine
among the rank and file of the repub¬
lican party. Thousands of votes were
cast for Harrison that would have
been received by Carter, the re¬
publican nominee, had net the latter
been backed by the machine politi¬
cians. There was nothing against Mr,
Carter personally, but the fact that he
was reputed to be the machine nomi-
nee was enough to set many against
him.
Several independent nnd republican
papers supported Mr. Harrisou,among
them The Times-Herala and Post,
which have been known as McKinley
organs.
The election revealed some remark-
able changes in the republican vote,
particularly in the strong republican
wards, where the shifting to’the demo¬
cratic candidate was very marked.
The election was one of tha quietest
that the city has ever experienced.
Mayor Harrison declared himself as
being greatly pleased with the result
of the election, saying:
"It shows that the people of Chicago
are pleased with the administration,
nnd I am glad of that, for I honestly
endeavored to give them the best ad-
ministration I could. The result
shows for itself.”
’Mr. Carter, the republican cnmli-
date, said:
“I do not take the Harrisou victory
to l»e a rebuke to the republican party.
Indeed, I think that national issues
were not in the minds of the people
when they cast their ballots—simply
the idea was uppermost that Carter H.
Harrisou was alone to thank for de-
featiug the attempt at long-term fran-
chises aud that re-election was due to
him as a reward for that act.”
John P. Altgeld said of the result of
the election:
"One reason for the election of Mr.
Harrison was that tlje press supported
him almost without exception, aud the
great republican papers were on his
side. Why did the republican papers
support Harrison? The reason is hard
to find. They saw that Mr. Harrison
had already betrayed the democratic
party, as he had it iu liis power to do,
snd he will carry the betrayal a great
deal further, and this makes the re-
election of McKinley a certainty. The
republicans look on this tight as the
first battle of 1900 and feel that the
re-election of Mr. Harrison already
seals the results of the next presiden-
tial campaign.”

Cuban Assembly I>l»»olves anil Money

A dispatch of Wednesday from Ha-
vana says: The dissolution of the Cu¬
ban military assembly announced
Tuesday night, does not cause any
particular comment upon Cubans or
Americans here, such a step having
been discounted two weeks ggo.
The American military authorities,
while pleased that an obstacle to the
disposal of the Cuban army has been
removed, had been preparing to dis¬
tribute the $3,000,090 with the aid of
the assembly’s roll, by causing to be

A Washington dispatch says: The

sioner Prouty, decided the ease against
the Kansas City, Memphis and Bir¬
mingham Railroad company and others
which mainly involved the practice of
floating cotton. finds that the

WIFE HEATING CONDONED.
A St. Louis Judge Says the Practice Is Not
Always Had.
A decision was rendered by Judge
Peabody in the St. Louis city police
court Wednesday that under certain
conditions a husband has the right to
beat his wife. The case was one Be-
uard Kretzer, charged with beating
bis wife because she would not agree
with him in the management of their
children. Judge Peabody said in.pass-
judgment:
"f u this case the wife was more
guilty than the husband for trying to
contradict and thwart her husband’s
will iu the presence of the children
and setting them a bad example which
he had a right to rebuke. There are
times when a wife irritates her hus¬
band to such an extent that he cannot
control himself and uses his hand or
fist. As long as no serious harm is
done, I don’t believe in punishment.”

REBELS RETURNING TO HOMES.
General Oils Is Congratulated By Dewey
On the Magnificent Work of the
Army In Philippines.
A Manila dispatch under date of
April 3d says: The latives continue
returning to their homes. They are
coming in all along the American
lines, and many of them, seeing the
promises of good treatment are ful¬
filled, are inducing their relatives to
return to their homes.
Major General EdwardS. Otis, com¬
mander of the American military
forces, has received the following mes-
sage:
"Hearty congratulations on the most
magnificent work of the army.
"Dewet.”
The United States Philippines com¬
mission,the last member cf that body,
Colonel Charles Denby, former minis¬
ter to China,having arrived in Manila,
will discuss the situation. The com¬
missioners are hopeful of a speedy
restoration of peace, believing hostili¬
ties will soon be confined to the habit¬
ual revolutionists.
Brigadier General Harrison Gray
Otis sailed for home on board the
United States transport Sherman Mon¬
day. He says he believes the insur¬
rection has received its death blow.
The Sherman also has on board the
sohs of Colonel John Hay, secretary
of state, and Senator Fa'e, of Maine,
who have witnessed much of the fight¬
ing with the army, and the bodies of
Ce'onel Harry C. Egbert, of the Twen¬
ty-second infantry, killed on March
30th, and other officers who have re¬
cently fallen in battle.
General Wheaton has assumed com¬
mand of the brigade lately command¬
ed by General Otis. The Third and
Twenty-second regiments of Whea¬
ton’s command are returning to Ma¬
nila.
Messages Are Reassuring.
The following cablegram was re¬
ceived at the w-ar department early
Monday morning:
"Manila, April 3. —Adjutant Gen¬
eral, Washington: Present indications
denote insurgent government in peril¬
ous condition; its army defeated, dis¬
couraged and scattered. Insurgents
returning to their homes in cities and
villages between here and points north
of Malolos, which our reconnoitering
parties have reached, and desire pro¬
tection of Americans. News from Vi-
sayan islands more encouraging every
day. Otis.”
The war department officials were
pleased by the cheering dispatch from
General Otis. It contains a great
deal of encouragement to them, and
those who know General Otis well say
he is not a man to take a roseate view
of the situation unless there is reason
for it. It is argued at the department
that the Filipinos have never been
used to the kind of warfare that the
Americans have given them, and for
reason they are now aware that it will
be impossible for them to accomplish
anything by fighting.
While there in disappointment be¬
cause the movement for the capture of
a large force of Filipinos was not suo-
cussful, it is believed the pressing of
the insurgents steadily toward the
tiorth. capturing their capital and driv¬
ing them from place to place has a
very discouraging effect upon the na¬
tives who have been following Agui-
ualdo.
It is evident by the reference which
General Otis makes to reconnoitering
parties that he is having the country
thoroughly covered, and that the in¬
formation which they are giving him
is the basis of the dispatch received to¬
day. It is believed that desertion will
soon deplete the army of.Aguiualdo to
little or nothing. That portion of the
dispatch relating to the Yisayans re¬
fers to the operations of which Iloilo
is'the capital. The group includes
Panay,Bohol, Cebu, Negros and others
of less importance. The rebellion
against the United States authority
was not very serious in these islands,
being stirred up by emissaries of Agui-
ua ldo at Iloilo.
