Tno republicans have undoubtedly elected
HeinpsteadVaslihurno mayor of Chlcairo In
splto of the defections to tbo assistant demo
cratic ticket , otherwise styled 'citizen's , "
nnd the desperate tactics of the Civ pier gnnu
nt the city hall. The republicans also suc
ceeded In electing a city attorney and clerk
and probably tbo treasurer.
Moro barefaced nianlpulatlonsof th returns
liavo never been liuown than those practiced
last night and today by the desperateCreglcr
' fnmlly trust" ping. Itoturns from a num
ber of strong republican precincts are still
"inlssIiiK" this evening , nlthouch It
Is certain they have noon brought
into the city ball , and the democratic
organs , after conceding all day that Wash-
burno was elected , como out this evening
with extras , crying that "fraud" has been
discovered and that Mr. Crogler Is elected by
a "very slight plurality. " They fall to ex
plain that the fraud Is la the ofllco where the
returns have been secluded from vlow over
slnco they were brought In last night. When
the returns compiled by export accountants
of the city press showed Washburnc's plu
rality to be over H.OOO , the city hall people ,
who had boon very much alarmed since early
in tbo evening , suddenly sent out word from
the comptroller's ofllcu that V/ashburno's
Plurality at that time wns buih'M. At 1 : KOa.
ai in. Comptroller Onahan announced that Cre
* gior wns elected by a plurality of IWJ , whllo
the city press returns showw "Wttshburno's
plurality to bo litI. )
At UiMO , however , Onahnn suddenly dis
covered o mistake and hurriedly gathering
up the tally sheets ho and his henchmen ro-
tlrcd to n private room , announcing thnt "no
more returns will bo given out tonight. "
The democratic papers , tired of this at
tempt to btavo off the Inevitable , made nn In
vestigation on their own account and came
out with extras accepting the correct llgures
nnd conco-Iing the election to \ \ nshburno.
This afternoon , after hard work over the
tally sheets , Including the "missing" pre
cincts , which are probably locked up in tlio
mayor's ofllce , Comptroller Onahan an
nounced to Creglor's organs that they had
discovered that many votes cast for Klmor
AVashburn hnd been counted for Hcmpstead
"Wnshburno , nnd that these errcfrs would
' ' ' ; ! . " plurality.
probably elect Mr. Ci'cgicr by - >
They done explain how they made this re-
mar'kablo discovery , since they are supposed
lo have no access whatever to the ballots , In
fuel It Is the last desperate effort to falsify
the returns and count Creglcr in by hook or
crooir. Ilo Is credited with having said to
ono of his henchmen this afternoon : "If the
republicans succeed In getting mo out of the
city bull for two years to como they are
daisies. "
There Is no doubt that n scheme Is on foot
to "doctor" the returns before the election
commlsaloiiors begin their ofllchil count , and
the republicans are straining every ncrvo to
defeat the ringstcrs. Chnlrmun.Nro of the
republican i.cnmpaigncohimltteewcntrbeforo
the election conunls8l6n"thls afternoon , and
ascertaining that several ballot boxes hail
not been received , ho asked that two guards ,
representing the republican party , bo
allowed to remain In the ofllco and w.itch
these boxes wlien they were brought In to
pici'ludo the possibility of anyone tampering
with them. Commissioner Henley thought
the idea good , but tlio democratic commis
sioners objected , and Mr. Nye carried the
matter bnforo County .ludgo Scales.
The commissioners decided to hold n con
sultation withHulgo Scales this afternoon
before giving a reply , and finally agreed that
two men should bo permitted to remain in
the vault room until the oftlclnl canvass com
mences tomorrow. As additional precaution
the combination was chanced on the safe
containing the olllcial returns.
\ Subsequently Chairman Nye asked that the
, Judges of the Fiftcontti precinct , Twenty-
ninth word , bo prosecuted for refusing to
admit Anton Pophal , challenger of the repub
lican and citizens' parties , to the polling
room. Nye statou that of BUS registered
votes In thnt precinct 5UI are shown to have
voted , a strangely largo proportion , and of
these SI'J nro recorded for Crolgcr nnd only
hiic for HeiiipstendVashburiio and sixteen
for the other three candidates. Ho said hn
had strong suspicions that fraud had been
resorted to in several precincts , and ho was
engaged In ferrotthig out the perpetrators.

ality of two or thrco hundred , The

olnct , it Is charged , affairs were so manipu
lated thnt every Judge and clerk without ex
ception were democrats , and the plurality
for Creglcr was something abnormal. Not a
few people tonight were inclined to believe
thnt the many alleged mistakes nnd changes
in estimates were In the Interests of the

Women In Politics.
ATCIIISOS , Kan. , April 8. ( Special Tele
gram to Tnr. llur. 1 A larger percentage
than usual of the registered women vote of
Atchisou was polled at yesterday's munclpal
election. There were 259 registered , and 211
voted. 'Ihero were two reasons for this.
First , ono of the candidates for mayor caused
n largo number of negro women to bo rcgls-
istcrud ; and second , the female school teach
ers turned out to elect special candidates tor
the school boardrbecauso they do not llko
the present superintendent of schools. While
the women wcto very active In voting , thuir
registration this spring shows the usual fall
ing oir. Four years ago whmi the "municipal

registration was 10 per cent women. A year
inter It wns ng.iln 111 per cent. Last year it

On tomorrow evening tlio American Soci
ety of Civil Engineers will glvo a banijuot in
honor of their president , Otavo Chanuto of
Chlcaco. ITrlday ovcntng the board of trade
of this city , on bpbalf of the citizens , will
entertain tbo prominent visitors and tbo mein-
VJCM of the various com inItoes nt a banquet ,
whlcU will boglvount the Arlington hotel.
Tbo committee on badges , of which Mr.
SchuylerDuryco is chairman , has selected n
design for a modal , which will bo. inado to
commemorate this. cVent. The material sc-
jlectca Is aluminum , ar.d on the obverse there
will bo'ttfabslinilooi'tno seal of thoiutout
ofllce. On the reverse there will bo an ap
propriate inscription and the date of the cele
bration.
It is probable that in the hall of the ICn-
tlonal museum there will bo an Interesting
display of early inventions , whllo inventors
who are desirous of showing to the pu olio
their own pet invention will probably bo ac
commodated In some ball -which will bo
secured for that purpose. It Is expected ,
however , that If these who are Interested In
llj'lan machines , poipctunl motion machines
and other inventions of like diameter indi
cate their intention of making an exhibit that
this feature of the celebration will not bo
generally popular , anil it may not bu neces
sary toniaticany provision for It.
Ono of the Important committees in clnu'go
of the arrangements for the celebration is the
committee on literature. To thli committee
was assigned tbo Important duty of arrang.
Ing the programme. How well they have
performed their task may bo seen by glanc
ing over the programmo for the various meet
ings. Tbo chairman of this committee Is
1'rof. ( ! . Brown Ooode , who , although a man
young In years , yetl.'i ' n veteran In sclontlllo
work. Associated with Prof. Ooodo on this
committee was Mr. Ainsworth 11. SpofTonl ,
the UUtlnt'Ulshcd librarian of congress , and
Mr. Llewellyn Deano.
In planning the details of the arrangements
provision was wisely made fora committee
to look after the comfort of visitors , espec
ially to provide facilities so that thev could
secure proper accommodations whllo In this
city. To this committee nil inquiries ro-
cslvcd from these who Intend to como to the
city relative to rooms and board are referred.
The committee has a list of places wbero
straniicrs can bo accommodated , aud
promptly -supply nil tbo information culled
for. Tlio chairman of the committed
is 3Ir. W. C. Uoilgo. .Mr. Dodge as far
back a * the year ISM invented a miichlno
for loading cartridges. It wns ailoptod bv the
government and with some inodlll cations has
boon used ever since. Prior to that time all
cartridges were Illloa by hand , lie has taken
out twenty United States patents and several
foreign patents , mostly on tire arms , seine of
which are in extensive use at homo and
abroad , notably the ox tractor In the Smith it
Wesson revolver. In consideration of his in
ventions the king of Italy presented a medal
to him and the king of .Spain conferred on
him the decoration of the Order of Isabella ,
tlio Catholic.
I Ionoy Is a highly Important factor In
enumerating the elements which contribute
to thosuccoss of such nn enterprise. It has
been contributed freely and goncrously on
this occasion by the citi/ens of this city , ana
a fund of about 3lt,0K ) ) has been subscribed.
The work of soliciting subscriptions was
done by a committee of which Mr. Joseph
1C. McCammon Is chairman. AVhllo great
credit Is duo to the energy displayed by the
committee yet they all acknowledge th <
great assistance which they received from
the citizens , who so cheerfully responded to
