of Illinois may soon have a fuw moro "star
boarders. " After three days of Investiga
tion Into tbo boodle methods of the city coun
cil the grand Jury tbll afternoon found true
bills against seven aldermen. This Indict

Tno roll of dishonor is ns follows : W. J.

Cramer. T. J. Gorman , Phillip Jackson , S.
M. ( joslln , John F. Gorman , Two moro in

charge bribery and state that O'Brien gave
Alderman Hoth $1,000 to vote for the North

Aldormun Roth this evening make1 ; public ,
for the llrst tlmo , tbo part bo has talccn In
the boodle transactions of the city coun
cil. This .statement , after reciting the
manner of his selection to bo a mom-
bar of the council , savs : " 1 hari not
bcou long lu the council until I found ordi
nances were not always passed on their
merits , nor oven upon friendship existing
among aldermen , but in some cases settled
down to a dispensation of money. At the
time of the passage of the Economic Gas
oidlnanco over the mayor's veto it was found
by the boodle members of tho. council it
would bo necessary to bring Into
line some alderman not In Minn
on the original vote on thn ordinance.
I suppose , that thinking my voting for It
would bo worth moro In satisfying the pub
lic the ordinance- was not wholly bad , than
the vole of Homo members whoso reputations
were less satisfactory than mine , led them to
prefer mo to others who might have boon
bought. I was .spoken to by ono of the
O'Bilens , who said that I could receive n
coi.slderullon for my voto. Knowing the
Daily News and other newspapers had taken
a vigorous public stand against bocdUng
in the council , and that they would
DO friendly to any exposure of tbo council's
methods , andiwitb Ibo vlow.oC bringing tbb
corrnpHonists to jiutico , I called on the Dally
Nows. The matter was carefully talked over
by various parsons interested In public
affairs and arrangements were made for re
ceiving the money promised In such a way
that , witnesses cuuld testify to the visit of
the man who paid the mouoy.
1'alil Him lor Ills Vote.
"Seven hundred and fifty dollars were paid
mo in ray ofllce , which mot ey I Immediately
slioucdto my bookkeeper , explaining who
had paid it and why it was paid , on the
Wednesday after the passage over the
mayor's veto of thu economic gtis ordinance.
This money , within live minutes after re
ceiving It , I took over to the Daily News of
fice , and , in Ibo presence of witnesses , de
posited it in a safe in a sealed onvelono ,
bearing tbo data and statement as to what it
referred to.
"About two weeks after that tbo ordinance
ot thn Northern Pncllio passed the council
the second timo. A cortatn alderman from
a south side ward informed mo about noon
on JulyS , Iho dav after tba ordinance
had passed , thut Billy O'Brien had money
nnd that ho was to moot O'Brien at the
Sherman bouso at S o'clock. X ut once com
municated the facts to the Daily News
ofMco , and I understood they had
the Shormau house watched and
discovered tbo statement which had
boon made to mo was correct , nnd that the
aldermen mot at tbo nlaeo appointed. Very
soon after - o'clock Billy O'Brien met roe in
the city dork's ofllce and conducted mo into
tbo washroom , whrro ho banded mo an en
velope , with tbo word ' 'Koth" written on the
outsidoot it. The envelope was scaled. 1
went over to Baker , the attorney for the
Tribune , and telephoned for representatives
of ether papers.
Ilaiuluil Him 81,000.
"The envelope was opened In the presence
of ull tboso witnesses und was found to con
tain two five hundred dollar bills. The wit
nesses took the numbers of the bills and they
were than carefully sealed up in the onvel
ono and tbo signatures of tboso present
place. ! on the outside ot the envelope. This
was then , I understand , taken to the Dally
News ofllco and placed with tbo ether money.
Afterwards , 1 am told , that the
various papers hired detectives to
watch various mam bora of the
council , " -"d Ic this manner boomed much
corroborative evidence. But with this I had
nothing to do. I myself took no money at
any tlmo for nny other purpose than bringing
to light the corrupt methods prevailing In thu
city council , and have profited in no wnv
thereby other than in the feeling of satisfac
tion that follows u duty performed. "
Although Alderman Uoth was before the
grand jury for two hours , ho did not tell all
ho know and will bo again called upon.
Among the witnesses before tbo errand
Jurv today were President Hosmor of the
JctTorson and Suburban Transl' company ,
Sec-rotary Zimmerman of the People's Gas
Light and Coke company , President Knapn
of Kquttablo Gas company , C. F. Bryant of
the Consumers Gas company , nnd Attorney
Danow of tbo JefTnrion and Suburban.
/.immerinan furnished a list of the
stockholders of Ibo People's company. It U
said that among thorn nero certain alder
men. All the witnesses denied having boon
of use to tba prosecution ,
Not ono of the mulcted aldormoa would
talk tor publication this evaulug. further
than to express great surprise that thov bad
boon indicted , and to protcss to bo perfectly
able to prove their entire Innocence of any
wrong whatever.
CouiKtllmi n Got ruoutioiiH ,
In the fuco of posulblo Imprison men t for a
number of them , thu Chicago city council
tonight exhibited a disposition to bo face
tious. All of the indicted members wuro
proseutcxcopt Messrs. D. H O'Brien ' and M.
J , Gorman , Tim proceedings were uuubublly
subdued until tbo Introduction of thu fol
lowing :
"Ordered that the corporation counsel bo
instructed to lend to the state's attorney all
the aid in bis power in tha invustigbllon of
alleged corruption iu the city council. "
"Thoro ought to bo honor among tblovos , "
exclaimed Alderman O'Noil Jocosely , "and I
don't ' think the council should order an
ofliccr of the city to do anything of tha
kind , " and on motion of Alderman O'Noil
tbo order was placed on file ,

WASUIXOTOX , D. C. , March 22. The
entire session of the cabinet today was
consumed in a consideration of the Bering
sea question. '
Lord Salisbury's reply Io Mr , Wharton'-i
nolo of the Sth lust , ' , refusing a renewal ot
the modus vivondl-for the prossiit season ,
was read and formed the basts of the discus
sion. The utmost reticence is maintained
by members of tbo cabinet as to tbo contents
of Lord Salisbury's note , yet there Is reason
to beltuvo that it is unsatisfactory to this
government. The position announced in Mr.
Wharton's note of the 8th lust , is not , In the
opinion df the president aud his cabinet , suc
cessfully controverted. Lord Salisbury's
reply as to the main point is said to bo indc-
cisivo aud although ho contends against the
ro.owal , bo docs not commit himself so far
as to decline to glvo bis assent to it.
Thcra is also reason to bollovo that
Lord Salisbury suggests ns a condition
ptecodcnt to any modbs vivoudl that
might bo established between the
two irovcrnmouts , thut the United States
should obligate luolf to indemnity Canadian
vessel owners for au.v IOJSQS sustained by
them In the event that it Is decided by the
commissioners of arbitration that tbo United
States bus no right to prevent pelagio seal
ing. It Is said that a reply is now being pre
pared in which the government will In no
suns' ) roccdo from Its former position , but on
tbo contrary will stand ilrmly by it. Lord
Salisbury's note was received by cable and
was not of great length.

Cable Special to TUB HBR.I The news
that comes from Uorlln is extromcly con-
Illctlne nnd It U very dlftloult to got n clear
view of Iho situation. At 2 o'clock It was
stated positively nt the Uoichstag Hint Count
von Uaprlvl would on no account withdraw
his resignation , but ns n quite con-
tradla.ory statement was made ut 0
o'clock It will bo necessary to
wait and sni whether some statement
contradicting both ot those will not bo inndn
atO o'clock. Cortnlnlv n tribute of admira
tion must bo paid to these courageous Jour
nalists who in moments Ilko those ; end out
to the world ns positive foots wtmtgonorully
proves to bo llctlon.
Politics nro not n simple , but n complex
science. A ct IsU docs not tnko place unexpect
edly , suddenly or without duo preparation ,
The people , however , tire of u dllTcront opin
ion , there reason being because the political
situation docs not become clo.ir to them until
long after the lultiary sicpi have bojn taken.
In nny case it Is oortntn that Count von Cap-
rivi had n lone tnllc with the cmporor nt the
Chateau do Huoortus yesterday and that his
losicmUion has not jot boon olllcmlly
withdrawn. It Is also certain that the Kotchs-
tag Is not well disposed toward the govern
ment , In splto of MliiUol'.s interposition. Tlio
committee u blch has lu charge the restitu
tion of the Uuolph fund wns set back today.
Tlio government wanted an Immodlnto vote
without a previous examination. This was a
slgulllcani check for Mlquol , who poses us a
coullduiitlal advisor ot tbu sovereign.
Kmpcror AVllllaiu's Condition.
Far moro Important In n country where the
sovereign is everything , Is the emperor's Ill
ness , which continues to bo very serious.
Tbo German csnsorahlp allowed dispatches
to bo sent out this morning for the llrst tlmo
within three days. The emperor's coudltion
is said to be worse- than wns nt
llrst supposed. The odlcial explanation
Is that the aggravation of the
malady is the losttlt of overwork
but this oxplanntion does not satisfy people.
It Is certain that the omp-ror will not return
to Berlin , indeed it would bo impossible for
him Io return at present nnd , though endowed -
dewed with a truly superhuman energy , he
behaves very sensibly in grave omorpo'nctes.
If one were to pay hood to ull the rumors
thut are being circulated In regard to
bis Illness it would bo impossible to
arrive nt nny conclusion. The sovereign has
certainly been very weak for u long tirao and
his physicians are trying to nourish him on
u special diet. For example , instead of
bread nnd water ho is bnmg fed on Munich
beer and n bitter kind of broad which U
specially baked for him in the imperial
itnheu.
And now comes the political crisis. As
though the cmparor'.s illneis xvas not sulll-
clont to throw Germany into confusion , It
has Just boon announced thut Bismarck is
ill. Tbo great chancellor U 77 years of ago ,
and the least Indisposition Is bad for him. If
ho woru to pajs away Germany would lose
the man upon whom many oycs are now
turned , form spite of the general discontent
there is u feeling among all classes that the
business of the rountrv was bettor managed
in the tlmo of Bismarck than now.
The latest dispatches fioin Berlin say thut
Von Caprlvi may remain chancellor ' > ut that
in that case he will resign the olllco of presi
dent of the council.

Wi.vviPiio , Man. , March 21. The Canadian
Pacific strike has assumed u most serious
aspect today. The conductors and trainmen
on tba Pacific division from Dotand to Van
couver , wuro culled out on the strlue Sunday
and today Dispatcher Williams ut Hat
Portage Lake reports serious trouble at that
point.
General Suporintnndont Why to received
tbo following measugo from Mr. McICenzic ,
who Is at present iu charge of the affairs of
the company nt Portage :
"Must have some protection hero at once.
Prlnco nnd Barnes trains were cut between
hero and Keewater. I had to send a full
force of men and stockmen ou every car of
Uoberc's train nud celf and Stewart went
to ICccwator. I got in without
being cut. Prince's oxtr.i east from
Itennio was cut this side of tbo tunnel in
about thirteen places. Some drawheads
vvcru stove in , new trainmen nhut ut and the
head briikemnn bud a rocK thrown ut him.
The conductors or brakemcn would not come
out of the cahooso. It took myself and Red
from about 12 to a o'clock to got tbo train in.
I ran in with seven cars and went back for
the balance of the train , but run out .of
links and pins BO made n second trip
with live cars. When approaching the
cast switch I found thut ono of tbo
former cara brought in bad been cut oft nnd
shoved on tbo main line switch , bieakin ? tbu
sumo and blocltmg tlio main line. This work
is getting serious and must bo stopped.
Pimco's brakeman refused to go out of the
engine cub as stonea wcto thrown ut him ,
and v/nilo ho was nutting ou braKes on the
enra ho had been cut. Several stones were
thrown at myself when turning thu switches
to let the engine iu and out. The section
man reported that while repairing the cnst
switch ioim ) o ( thu men came uloi gaud broke
bis lamp. I will not itivo men tima chocks
until wo nrosur < 3 of protection. Ouo con
ductor claims that several sliols were fired
ut him. "
Upon receipt of the nbovo message dcnoral
Superintendent Whytu waited upon the lleu-
Jonuiit governor mill luidtho facts bofomhim ,
asking that u sufllctent faico of militia bo
sent to piuvent .my further acts of violence
anu to protect employes and property of the
complmv. It would seem that the lorco of
special policemen sworn in by ttio company
Is not adequate to unsurutho maintenance of
law nnd order nud that a disciplined force is
necessary.
Goncinl Superintendent Wbyto bus nUo
culled on Colonel Villurs , adjutant ucnaral of
this district , but thu latter explained that
Hal Portico is outside his dlitrlct nnd ,
consequently , ho could take no action
until ho received instructions to move
fiom tt.o militia department i.t Uttiuvn.
Should orders bo received Colonel Villurs
has everything prepared to send a force to
Kat Portuco or any othur point.
Mr. WhytoHuys all Htapa will bo taken to
piocure tbo desired protection to tbo com
pany's property. A contingent of
tbo North w oil mounted polloo bai
arrived at Jirnmlim from the ter
ritorial barracks at ICeglnaand are quartered
iu the vicinity of tbu Canadian Paulliu rail
way property. Tha police were brouirlit ut
the request of the company for the protection
ot its property.
