Aprils. 1 herewith hlo with the secretary of state housu roll No. S-IO , an act entitlet "An act to amend section 00 , Title 4 , of tin codu of civil procedure , " together with 1113 objections to tlie same becoming a law. H ] our present statute an action tor libel may bi Instituted In thu county wheie the defendan iesides. 01 in any countv in the state when he may be found , and served with process Tlie purpose ot this bill Is to enable tin plaliitill in such an action to begin n suit u any county in the statu In which tlio nllcgei libel has been circulated , regardless of thi residence ot thu defendant , or wheru he ma ; no summoned. In other words , a defendan might bo served in any county and b ) thereby reiiulred to ( tefenil In any county litho the state. The bill Is objectionable on tli ground that It would give thu plalntil list too great an advantage over th st defendant. The two might reside In coin II- ties tjio most remote tiom each other of nn in thu state , nnd should the libel have beei circulated In the county of the nlalntltf , th defendant could bo required to defend In tlia county. The IHUnnts might reside In th same county. In the northeast corner of th 0- state , and plalntitf be disposed to bring hi 0v action In a county in the soutlivvcxt corner c 0- the state , and compel thu defendant to g 0id there to deleml. 'the plalntitf might ml1 idC ehlevnnsly elect to begin his action In an Cof countv vvhcieln tlio libel was circulate of where he would enjoy the great" t advantag in- and the defendant sutler the dlsadvantagt ; ri- The unfairness which It might pinmoteca rity easily bu Imagined. Hut the I'llends of tli or measure may say that on account of tlio cha il il- actcr of the wrong tor which the action ilty brought , the dolendant should suffer any d ! us advantage it m.iv inlllct. This , how eve us would bo to prejudge thu defendant and a sumo his liability tor damage , \vhllo the rei object ot a tilal In such n case Is to deturmln whether he would he so responsible , and t Inl this end he should -ulh'r no dlsadvantai ; on ID the selection ot u jury or any otl.t ond.

The law proposed is well calculate ts in increase litigation and footer methods t u's vfblcha plaintiff might unju-tly vex an rii bnrasi a defendant , nnd 1 am therefore ot tl Opinion thxt the public good vslll be best su la ieivi'd by Its disapproval. 1 am frank I ud admit that there does prevail an nnpardoi ho hle license and abuse by the public pres tmt 1 am not willing logo to tbo other e Ireiuc , nnd by an act of mine overthrow o Fimranly of the rights of citizens In this r < aped , and subject them to as great n wren as parties now suffer irora thi * evil of the I cense of the press , Tno bill vetoed Is by Caldvvell and is ns fo ror lows : Ity Section CO. An Action for libel may 1 brought In any county where the libel Is cir culated.

The United Imtior Party Only I'Jects One Aldortunn 1'rohlhltlon I'roli- nbly Lost In Michigan Ho stilts at Other Point * . The Contest In Chicago. CIIICAUO , April 5. Thu day Is clear and cool , and reports fiom nearly nil wards Indi cate that n very large vote will be polled. The contest Is between the republican nnd'labor candidates , very tow prohibition votes being cast , although the prohibitionists liavo ticket peddlers at neaily all polling places. Thu polls opened at 0 o'clock and the ci eater portion tion ot the labor vote was polled dining the early hours. At 0 o'clock reports trom vari ous preeincts showed that tiom one-fourth to one-half the entire reglsteied votu had been east. Jy ! noon fully one half , and in some of the wards two-thirds of the entire registered vote had been cast. Tills would indicate that the total city vote will reach piobably 75,000 and possibly 8. " > ,000. While there have been largo crowds at the polling places , no serious violencn has been reported and the election promises to bu an unusually quiet one. one.The labor party will poll a largo vote In the tilth , sixth , seventh and louitecnth waids , but In other wards the showing ot the party will be small. In the eleventh and twelfth wards , except in a few pieclncts , tlie voting Is almost solid for tlio republican ticket , dem ocrats and republicans voting It without reserve. In one precinct where U5 votes had been cast up to noon , out of n total registration of aXJonly three labor tickets had been cast. On the outlying VNants tlie labor ticket Is ahead In some in stances , but at no polling place Is tliu Pie- ponderanco ot the labor vote overwhelming , as Is the republican ticket in strong lepubli- ean wards. The republican party managers at noon claimed that Koche , for mayor.would have trom fifteen to twenty thousand ma jority. 0:45 : p. in. Ninety-three precincts out of ftiO give Koche. republican , 10ii8 : major ity over Nelson , labor. The present Indica tions arc that tlie labor party has only carried one ward In the city. It Is possible that the head ot tlio ticket has been carried by the republicans by 2"i)00 , ( ) to no.too. 7 p. m. Ono hundred and seventy precincts out of SiO give Kocho ! iO,000 plurality over Nelson , labor. At 7iO ; : p. HI. the indications are that Uoche's majority will be SO oou , a future that surprises everybody. If the ! ! ,300 votes natiirall/ed during the Pfcst month by the united labor party bo added to the 1S.003 east tor Socialist Stnuber last fall , the total vote will bu very near vvliat Nelson's , vote now promises to be in to-day's election. Tills would mean that the attempt to deliver the democratic vote to the united labor party had failed utterly. Iho returns received at tlie town hall In the stock yards district up ted p. in. Indicate that Kliner Wash- bin ne , heading the retornr ticket , which was allied with tlio Uochetioket lu the city w ds , has been elected suiierviBor by a majority of 1,100 over all opposition. Two hundred ami eighty-nine precincts el\e Koche n majority ot 28,01' . ) . Fitly pro ducts jet to hear trom , scattered throughout the city , will probably maUo no material change in the ratio of itio for Kocho. b:40p. : m. With twenty precincts yet to hear trom Rodin's majpritj'is BU.400. :10p. : rn. With thirteen precincts to hear Irom Kochu's majority is 'JD.iOL i > :30 : i . m. The1 majority for Kocho is iJO'J'.Kand eight precincts to bo heard from. It Is reasonably certain that tlio united labor party elected twoalnermentind nothing At 10 : & > p. in. the count was closed for the night. Corrected returns trom all but three precincts places Koche's majority at 28,100. The so-called united labornarty polled to-day just one-half the number ot votes its leaders nail predicted three nights ago befoio Kobert Nelson , their candidate for mayor , distinctly declared tor the red flag , llesilil in public it Sunday school children could march in procession with their chosen banners and no American Hag. lie saw no reason why the worklngmcn , if euually orderly , could not do tlio same even if the color was led. Since then the campaign has been fought solelv on that Issue nnd the result is a sin prise to everjone , socialists and anti-socialists alike. Two united labor aldermen are thu only suc- cesstuf candidates ot that party. Their gen eral ticket is behind under a majoilty ot near ly ! ,000 votes. It was only last nlcht that Socialist Organ- i/er ( ireenlmt made tlie assertion that the seven condemned anarchists would bo saved bv his paity polling at least their 3-.UOO pledged votes , electing tlie socialist city treasurer , their entire west town ticket and six to nine aldermen. The paity polled in round numbers Uu.iwo votes. "We nave only held the old socialist vote , " sild ( ireenlmt , sadly , to-night. It was a peitect day so tar as sunshine was concerned. Iho air was chill.v and raw , but it is conceded that no voteis wcio kept at homo by the weather. There was a notable absence ot drunken ness. Tlie united labor party had made its campaign cry that not a man on their ticket would owe Ids election to votes purchased witlr whisky. A socialist ticket pedi'lei- ' dropping dead at the polls , probably of heait disease , was the nearest approach preach to a tragic incident. Not a sin gle serious row occurred during thu day. In the absence of n demociatlc ticket thn democrats who voted cast theli ballots almost unanimously for the repub lican candidates. It is estimated that about 10 per cent ot the democrats tailed to vote at all , not wishing to vote the republican ticket and unwilling to endorse the candidate op posing. Tlirmmhout the day the republicans and their democratic allies Industiloiisly dls- tiibuted tlarliu dodgers presenting tliu issue of the election as the American ling azainst ! the red. The united labor party endeavored to meet this with an equally highly eoloied . circular , charging that Kocho was an Orange man. The plan failed signally. Ono of the characteristic incidents of the dav wns the arrest In the Fifteenth ward by Oflicer John Kjanof Herman liioennrcyer , a Ueiman socialist , tor too obstruslvely circulating nntl-Kocho circulars. The ariest nearly led to a shot , but ( Iroenmejer was leleased on promising to desist. Similar scenes were enacted In other wards nnd have led to charges by tliu united labor leaden ; of unwarranted Intoiference on the part of the police. Tno two succcsstul can didates of the united labor party mo Conner nnd Dvorak for aldermen in the llttli and sixrlr wards respectively. Their election had been conceded trom tlie start , but thu jonty Is smaller than was anticipated. It war generally expected that the noted socialistic KnlL'htof Labor , George Schilling , would be elected alderman In thu tpuitecntli ward , but at thu last moment his strength was diverted by Klordan , democrat.

Returns froi the state outside ot the larger cities are ver incomplete as to the vote on the prohibltor I amendment. The Evening Journal's return III I up to 10 o'clock this ; morning Indicate tin 1 the amendment has Been carried by a sma majority. While the returns from the counties arc dclajcd , It I" certain that Lone , republican , Is elected to the supreme bench by a lar < o majority. Ho was ahead of Cam- bell , republican , In nearly every polling place. Campbell ts piobably elected by a majority one-third less than Long , and the republican regents have been successful by majorities between tlie two judges. The country lias gone strongly for ptolnbltlon , but the ictuins are not sufficiently de finite to say whether thu country has been able to wlpo out the majorities ncalnst the amendment * rolled up bv cities. Tlio probability this mnrnlii f was that the amendment had been carried bv a small ma jority. The salaries amendment has been defeated. James McMillan , chairman of tlui republi can state committee , says that while ho lias no ficiires on which to ba o nn accurate esti mate , his belief is that the republican state ticket has been elected by 10,000 arid that the amendment Is defeated by about tlio same amount. At 10 this morning 1'iof. Dickie , chairman of the prohibition state committee , claimed that the amendment was carried by about 30,000 majority. Later figures materially change the result of the vote on the prohibition amendment. The Kvonlng Journal's figures now show ( i.OOO against the amendment and Its un likely that this majority will be overcome. The salaries amendment Is probably carried. Ketuins from yesterday's election aio slowly comlnz in. It being settled that the lepubllean state ticket has been elected by 10.000 plurality , interest centers on tlio pro hibitory amendment. The Kvcning Journal says that it is defeated by 8,500 majority , and others claim the majority will i each 10,000 , but the prohibition committee still claims the adoption ot the amendment. This claim Is based on the lael that all tlie cities have neon heard from , while the ciuiutiy localities , where the movement had its greatest strength , have not vet been fully reported. All the ligures so tar received on the amend ment are partly estimated , anil llttlo confid ence can be placed In them , although It seems probable that the amendment is de feated ny a small vote. This uvonttiK the prohibitionists claim that frauds were com mitted against them in seveial wards In this city ana say that several precincts will bo contested. It Is asserted that known pro hibitionists were pi evented fiom voting ; that ballots for the amendment were do- sinned ; that opponents of that measure were allowed to vote several times , and that votes against tlie. amendment were pur chased. 10liO : p. rn. The latest figures on Iho elec tion plaeo tlie republican plurality on tin state ticket at about S.OOO , vvliile on the pro hlbitory amendment tlie opposition majority will bo about a.ftOO.

The seventeen additional citv precincts vvill probably neti- tiali/o this malorltj' , but the seven towns of the county will go stiongly for the fusion candidates , who.ire probably elected by ! ! ,000. The labor party will elect about tue aldermen nnd one-third ot the supervisors. Uoth bodies will probably be democratic , as two- thirds of the nldeimen hold over.
