Yesterday's ' city election for the selection
of a councilman from each ward , whilellvoly
In aoino respects , did not urouso interest
vuoufiu to bring out moro than half of the
voting population of the city.
Will , the exception of the Fourth , Seventh ,
Ninth nnd Sixth , there was Wit little cnthusl
B9in In the light , nnd the polls were practically
ilcserted , save for the few trusty patriots
who biavi-d the elements in the Interests of
their candidates.
Thowentlier was fearfully disagreeable ,
nnd pcoplo hurriedly passed the polls , appnr
rutly not awuro that tin election was In pro
gress , the result of which would mutcriully
change the complexion of the city council.
Greatest Intcrcst centered In the Fourth ,
Seventh and Ninth wards , where Wheeler ,
Chaffco and D.ivls , leaelcrs of the council
combine.wcro up for ro-clcction. In the
Fourth Wheeler had a losing light from the
Htnrt , and was beaten by mi overwhelming
majority. CliniTro and Davli pulled througli
by Hiuall pluralities.
The result completely breaks up the com-
Mno that has dominated city affairs for the
fast year.
The new coui.cl ! will have ton democratic
nnd eight republican members. The demo
crats arc Coouir ! , Mndsen , OsUioff , Morearty ,
liurdLih , IClsasscr , Tuttle , Donii ° Ily , Lowry
nnel Conway. The republicans ais Bcchcl ,
Ulumcr , Cliaffco , Davis , Bruuer , Epecht ,
Olsen nnd McLearlo.
The following is the tabulated result of
yesterday's contest :
.Tuliilun in the Sixth.
Tlio republicans of the big Sixth wcro feel-
'inp ' very pleased last night over the election
of Chris Specht to the city council. SomO'
thing like a hundred of Mr. Spccht's friends
mot nt the corner of Twenty-fourth and Clnrli
streets last night nbout 9 o'clock , and nftci
anel called the couiicllman-elect out for f
speech.
Mr. Spcctit responded In n happy mooe
and then Invited everybody in for refresh
monts. Tlio invitation was promptly nc
copied , and after half an hour of real ropub
llcati Sixth ward sociability , the gatheriiif
dispersed , wishing Mr. Specht a succcssfu

nearly $700,000 , leaving no will nnd nbout
thirty heirs. There wai found in Shaplclgh's

; hat the East river tunnel scheme should bo

salel that bribes had been offered to him to
vote for It nnd ho Had no eloubt that almost
every other man on the board had also been
approached in the snmo way. It was In his

Hnnl detention In this city of General Miles
us significant in connection with the threat-
cued Sioux outbreak. They say he would
not have remained hero when ho had ulosud
Ills Intcrvlow3 nud was upon the point of ro-
tiiriitnir to Chicago had not Into nelviocs made
his .rtuur delay In Washington n mutter of
Importance. They believe that bo Is to stay
here until the crisis Is passed , so AS to bo I n
direct communication with the secretary of
\varancltho president In case of a collision
between tlio InJInns mill the United Stales
troops. Were lie lu Chicago , It would bo no-
cessai-y to transmit to Washington nil Im
portant orders before vital steps were taken
In the field. Hero orders may bo made after
Immediate consultation with the highest au
thority ami the more Important
stops taken without the least do-
laj. General Miles himself believes
that the worst has not coma uml that tlio
Indians arc determined to shed morn blood
before they retire to pcaccful lives. In au In
terview General Miles says that the serious
ness of the situation has not been ex-
nggcratcd , ns the dlsafl'ectlon is more wide
spread tliau It hns been for many years. Ho
says fitrthnr : "More tribes tire involved In
tins conspiracy thnn have ever been known
to bo Implicated In u hostile aiovoment. It
seems to t > o general. The Indluiis nil over
the country ere in common sympathy. The
insufllricncy of food supplies Is the first stop
towards the difficulty. Religious delusion
nud n natural disposition to warfare Is the
secondary trouble. Wo hnvo niniio every
poislblo preparation for the most serious
situation , mm I bcllovo thai we can destroy
the worst situation in which wo may bo
placed. There nro probably thirty thousand
Indians affected by the Messiah ciiuc , and
this means fully six thousand llphr-
linr Indians In the Held. This
number of Indians can make
n ( 'reat de..l of trouble , A verv small proportion -
portion of this number wore concerned lu the
Minnesota massacre , nml yet they butchered
moro than live hundred settlers within n few
days. WcThavo about two thousand mounted
men in the field. A great quantity of in
fantry which wo can command , but the latter
is not efficient in catching Indians. The in
fantry had one of the engagements In 18T ( )
nud Is77 , but they nro rare In frontier war
fare. It is very rare that Indians come upon
the warpath lu the beginning of winter , but
they claim to bo lighting for food as well as n
fanatical superstition , and of course they
will fight to the death if they once begin , "
It is hoped at the interior department that
the order of General Xoble , increasing the
rations to bo distributed among the Sioux
until the appropriations of the present fiscal
year tire exhausted , will hnvo n pacifying ef
fect upon the dancers in the Dakota
and Nebraska , If not. Indeed , throughout the
entire Indian belt. It Is beliuven that if the
stomachs of the savages uro well filled they
will moro readily yield to the persuasion of
agents and soldiers. If , however , it comes to
the worst and tlicro should bo a light , the
war department is determined that the In
dians shall bo taught a lesson which they
will not soon forget.

As n result of the investigation recently
made by the special senate committee desig
nated for the purpose of ascertaining the
cause and effect of the live Mock monopoly
nud to suggest a rolnedy In the interest
of . ' the people , the bill which passed
the senate labt Heutomber , providing
for the Inspection of live cattle , hogs and the
carcasses and products thereof , which uru
the subject of Interstate commerce , was
agreed upon by the house committee on com
merce today and will bo finally adopted , it Is
thought , without delay. The report of the
sunato committee , which had a sitting nt
Omaha timong other places , hnd a profound
Impression upon both bodies of congress and
was the direct result of a needy action upon
tlio part of the house committee. Under the
provisions of the measure , as it now stands ,
the secretary of agriculture will huvo In
spected nil cattle und hogs which uro the
subjects of interstate commerce und nro
about to bo slaughtcrd at slaughtering

In any other state or territory. When upon
inspection , cattle or hogs are found to bo
nltcctod bv disease or from any other causes
are unlit for consumption the Imuoctor shall
order their condemnation and cause them to
bo destroyed without compensation to the
the owner. The secretary of agriculture
may carry his inspection to a post-mortem
examination if they are subjects of interstate -
state commerce , and ho shall destroy all of
such products or carcasses us ho may find to
be unlit for consumption. Punishment by
fine or imprisonment is provided for infrac
tions of the law and the secretary of ; agricul

It Is made a violation of law to deal lu or

Unraveling a Mystery.
Niw : YORK , Dca 2. 1'errin II. Sumncr , a
Broadway real estate speculator , who gained
considerable notoriety lu connection with
the mysterious suicide of n man
who registered nt the Getty house ,
Yonkers , ns George Smith , was
arrested today , charged with forgery.
The prisoner lilpiitliled the aulclde ns his
friend , James H. lidgar , a wealthy English
chemist. The police , after a thorough In
vestigation of the matter nt the time , came to
the conclusion that It was n genuine to de
fraud some Ufa Insurance company ,
and , satisfied that they had thwarted
it , dropped the matter. A reporter
named Gcorgo H. Phoebus , however , kept at
work on the mystery , and as a result of his
Investigation Sumncr was today arrested.
It seems that Edgar owned prrperty woith
$ JOOW , . Stlinucr , after the suicide , made
a proposition to Lawyer Turner to
draw up a will , of which Sum-
nur was tobo executor , and to
receive 10 per cent of the fortune. The
lawyer objected , but at the solicitation of
Reporter Phoebus Introduced the luttcr to
Sunnier. The Will was drawn up by
Turner , Phoebus personating Eelgnr. It wns
in the signing of the will that Stunner
committed forgery. Nothing cotilel bo found
of Edgar , but it Is qulto positive that he was
not the man who suicided in Youkers. Who
that mvsterlous person was has not yet been
learned. The suspieiou is that Edgar is a
fugitives from iustlco from England
and the police surmise that ho
was in the dark concerning the
bogus will and shot Sunnier , who was will-
lug tn resort to forgery , ultimately Intended
murder. Stunner , at thotlmoof thosuie'iuV ,
told about Edgar's nephew , who had given
him Information about his undo. This young
man cannot now bo found. Tlio police ) will
make a careful investigation of the case.
Sumncr has before been concerned in some
shady transactions.
