The Transmlsslsslppl and International
Exposition will bo located lu Miller park.
This was decided on the first ballot at the
meeting of the Doard of Directors last night
and Iho Miller park site had two votes more
than a majority of the full board. The
vote of every member of the board was cast
upon the question of location , and after the
result was announced the choice was made
unanimous , and every member of the board
by ft rising vqto signified his acquiescence
to the will qf the majority. Led by the ad
vocates of Hanscom park , three rousing
chews were given for Miller park , In which
the members of the board and the crowd of
spectators vied with each other to see who
could cheer the hardest. The meeting wound
up with a love feast In which the utmost
good feeling prevailed.
The result was not reached without a pre
liminary parliamentary skirmish , however.
In which the lines between the advocates
of the two sites under consideration were
closely drawn. These by-plays occupied the
time of the meeting over an hour before
n vote on the selection ) of a site was taken ,
but during the progress of these skirmishes
the position of the doubtful directors was
disclosed and the result of. the final vote
WAS anticipated.
The meeting was held In the largo hall
In the Hoard ot Trade building , as before ,
end the lobby was larger than It was on
Tuesday night. There Were fully COO spec
tators present , and they crowded around
the sides of the room and filled the rear
of the hall until there was scarcely breathing
room. As at the- meeting the night before ,
the lobby took part In the proceedings In
the way of furnishing the noise and ap
plause , but It was very evident that the
sentiment of the largo majority of those
In the audlcnco was lu favor of Miller park ,
end the advocates of Hanscom park received
cold comfort In the shape of hisses and cat
calls. ' ' .
ABSENT DinECTOrtS PAIRED OFF.
When President Waitles called the meet
ing to order every member of the directory
was present In person or bywritten ballot
deposited with the secretary. Thirty-six
member's' answered to their names nt roll
call and the following membera , who were
nbscnt , had sent In their ballots by letter or
"by " wire : Itabcock , nldwell , Lee , Marknl ,
Paxton ( Wells and Wllcox Instructed the
secretary to cast their voteu for Miller park ,
nnd Dickinson. Evans. Klrkendall , Korty ,
Hosewater , Dudley Smith and Thompson In
structed , the secretary to cast tlmlr voles
in favor of Hanscom park.
These Instructions left only CrelGh'.on ,
Kountzo and Lvman , all of whom had bci-n
absent the night before , on the doubtful
Itat and the Interest centered about the
way their votes should be cast. If all the
members who had bean present the night
before "stood pat" the Miller park people
had twenty-six votes without these three ,
but there was at least one on the Miller park
list who was regarded as doubtful and this
made the coin-so to bo taken by the three
named as ot the utmost Importance to the
advocates of both sltea.
I1EGINNINO OP THE END.
President Wattles announced that the
first business In order would 'be 1110 calling
of the roll on the selection of a site.
Mr. LIndscy said that before a vote was
taken he would move that when balloting
was resumed the method of voting be
changed and that each member , as his name
was called , should deposit a written ballot
exprcdslng his choice of a site , and that
when twenty-six votes had been cast for
any site that bo declared the choice of tbo
board.
This motion precipitated a discussion
which lasted over half an hour.
Mr. LIndscy explained his motion by say
ing that them were directors present who
were known to bo voting contrary to their
honest convictions , and all that was dc-
elrcd to accomplish by his motion was the
securing of an honest expression of senti
ment from every director.
Mr. Webster raised the point of order that
the motion was out of order for the reason
that the board had already determined the
course to be pursued in taking the vote on
n site.
The chair sustained the point of order and
ruled the motion out , saying that the only
way In which the method of voting could
bo changed was by reconsidering the vote
whereby the resolution offered by General
Mandorson had been' adopted , and he ruled
that a motion to reconsider would require a
two-thirds majority.
Messrs. Manderson and Hitchcock con
tended Ihitt the construction put upon the
resolution of Mr. Maudorson was erroneous ,
and they claimed that the resolution In ques
tion provided simply that a ballot should
bo taken , without spcclfj'lng the manner of
voting.
The president declined to recede from liU
position , and then Mr. Ltudsoy moved to re
consider the vote whereby the resolution pro-
VlOliiR for a ballot on sites had been adopted.
4 Mr. Webster ual.l . Oils ivould wlpo out all
that had been done under that resolution ,
and a long discussion ensued on the mo
tion , after which Mr. LIndscy , seeing that
there was nn chance of carrying his point ,
withdrew Ills motion -reconsider. .
Mr. Montgomery at once revived the subJect -
Ject by moving that the ballot on a situ be
taKcu in writing.
PRESIDENT IS SUSTAINED ,
The chair remitted the former ruling and
declared the motion out of order. Mr , Mont
gomery appealed from the decision ot the
chair , and the chair was sustained.
Again a roll call was ordered for a vote
on tint site , hut before a name had boon
called Mr , 1'ilco movt'd that Mr. Holdrege
bo allowed to address the meeting briefly on
the accessibility of Haiieuom park by means
of thn railroads.
Tho' chair ruled the motion out of order ,
hut Mr , Manderson protested against the
ruling. He said the hoard of directors was
not the homo of representatives of congrras ,
and was not working under the strict order
of parliamentary law , and ho Inflated that
the board filvo the matter under consider ? *
( Ion the free and full discussion which Its
importance merited. He said all matters In
the hands of Iho board /should be > held open
for discussion as long as any member de
sired to express his opinion ,
Mr. Saunders said that If the supporters of
ono tile were allowed to argue the merits
of their sits ho would call upon the aup-
portcra of m-ry other site to speak about
their sites.
Mr. Hitchcock moved thai the Street
Hallway company be Riven tVn minutes to
present the advantage * of Miller park from
traniporlatlon standpoint aud that Mr.
JIuldregc be allowed the same time to pre
sent the advantages ot Hanicom park from
a railroad standpoint.
The motion wag ruled out of order.
Mr , Hitchcock appealed from the ruling of
the chair and made a warm speech In which
ho referred to the Impoitnncc of the matter
under consideration nnd Insisted that all
Interests be given a full hearing.
The vote being taken the chair held that
It had been sustained , but a division wes
called for , nnd the roll call showed 15 ayes
and 20 nays , and the chair was reversed.
Mr , Hitchcock's motion wan then carried ,
the roll call showing 18 ayes to 17 nays.
Mr. Murphy , president of the Street Hall
way company , was called for , but he1 con
tented himself with remarking that he had
nothing to ray , that Miller park spoke for
Itself and ho would take his chances on get
ting there with his street cars after a vote
was taken.
HANSCOM PAIUC AND RAILROADS.
Mr. lloldrego , general manager of the D.
& M. , was called for and he surprised his
most Intimate friends by making a speech.
Ho said that the report of the engineers
showed on Its face that It had been made
hurriedly and he characterized as untrue
their statement that tracks for construction
purposes could not be laid on the grounds
to connect with the present railway tracks.
Ho ald It would be a very easy matter
to lay tracks to any point on the grounds
from a connection with the Hclt line near
the north line of the poor farm. With refer
ence to the accessibility of the grounds
during the holding ot the exposition , Mr.
Holdrcgo said that ho felt satisfied that the
great majority of the people coming to Omaha
at that time would be landed down town at
the depots , and he dwelt upon the disad
vantage of travelling nine miles on the
street cars to reach Miller park. He also
stated that he could see no way In which
the Union Pacific , n. & M. , Hock Island or
Milwaukee roads could reach Miller park ,
as none ot these roads have tracks In the
north part of the city. All of these roads ,
he said , could reach Hanscom park by
switching their trains to the Belt line at the
Summit.
At the conclusion of Mr. Holdrcge's re
marks the lobby hissed and hooted him In
a most disgraceful manner and It was 'some
time before the president could make him
self heard abova the uproar. He repeated
the warning used frequently the night before ,
to the effect that the hall would be cleared
ot spectators 'micas order was maintained.
FINAL. ROLL CALL ORDERED.
The president then ordered the roll called
on the selection of a site. There were no
further motions and the roll call proceeded ,
with the following result :

22.When
When Mr. Crelgbton announced his vote
for Miller park there was a slight ripple
ot applause and this waa Increased when
Mr. Kountzo followed suit. This virtually
decided the matter , but there was no dem
onstration until after tbo secretary had
announced the result , and then the Miller
paik directors and the entire lobby Joined In
ono grand shout which threatened to raise
the roof. The air was thick with hats , canes
and other movables and pandemonium
reigned.
When quiet was restored General Mander-
son moved that Miller park bo made the
unanimous choice of the hoard of directors.
A -rising vote was called for and every di
rector rose to his feet. '
As a climax W. J. Conncll , one of the
spectators who had been the warmest sup
porter ot Hanscom park site , called for
threa cheers for Miller park. They were
given with a will , everybody Joining in , and
then the meeting adjouriiett Itself.
The advocates ot the two 'sites shook hands
after it was all over and the best of feeling
was manifested on both aides.

NEW YORK , Feb. 10. Beautiful beyond
description was the ball masque 'of Mrs.

written about the affair and pictures have
been drawn , but the fancy of the reporter
and the artist did not picture scenes one-
half ns lovely as were presented In the Wal
dorf. Never 4n New York has a greater
floral display been made at a ball. The elec
tric lights and mirrors were used In bewilder
ing and artistic manner , all combining to

passed through a ( lower-lined corridor di
rectly Into the large ball room.
In the small gallery were members
of the Twenty-second Regiment band and
the Hungarian band. The music suddenly
stopped , for Just a moment , to be broken
by a nourish of trumpets , as Mrs. Bradley-
Martin and her escort , John Jacob Astor ,
entered the room. A moment later they had
taken their places at the head ot the room
and there was another flourish of the trum
pets , which told that the quadrilleD'Hon -
neur , arranged by Mrs. William Astor , was
about to open. The forming for the drat
figure , the "salute" was llko the turning of
pages of history. The characters gathered

WASHINGTON , Feb. 10. The electoral
votes of the forty-five states ot the union
Vtero formally counted at the Joint session
held today and Vice President Stevenson
proclaimed the election of McKlnlcy and
Hobart as president and vice president re
spectively.
Although the eky was overcast and the
weather was Inauspicious , yet the galleries ot
the hall of representatives were thronged. The
general public besieged the doors In vain , as
but small space was reserved for them.
Ladles were arrayed In gay toilettes , and
gave touches of color to the brilliant set
ting of the scene. Many distinguished per
sonages witnessed the count , among them
Ambassador Patcnotro and Chancellor Douve
of the French embassy , Mr. Chat Chung ot
the Chinese legation , Baron von Thlelmau ,
Secretary Matsil ot the Japanese legation ,
Viscount Thyrso of the Portuguese legation
and Sir Richard Cartwrlght ot the Cana
dian government. No member of President
Cleveland's family was present.
A cordon of blue coated and brass but
toned pollco hedged about the scuators as
they marched majestically over to the house ,
preceded by Vlco President Stevenson ni.d
Mr. Cox , secretary of the senate , with the
returns locked In a cherry colored box.
This guarding of the returns was a pre
caution first taken by Acting Vice President
Ferry of Michigan , twenty years ago , during
the wild excitement attending the Tlldcn-
Haycs contest , In anticipation ot a possible
raid. As the house and senate sat 'lu ' Joint
session today and listened quietly to the
count those stirring days were recalled.
RETROSPECTIVE.
Of the fifteen men who sat on the famous
electoral commission which decided that
contest by peaceful means. Senator Hoar of
Massachusetts was the only one present to
day. .Tho others , excepting Justice Field ,
have "all retired from public life , or ha\tl
passed away. The vicissitudes of political
fortune In two short decades have removed
all but seventeen of those who then sot ; U
cither end of the capltol. Mjst of the seven
teen survivors were conspicuous today In
thu Jc'int assemblage. Two of them , Senator
Sherman , who Is soon 'o be called to Lie
first place In the McKlnlcy cabinet , nnd
Senator Morrlll of Vermont , author of the
war tariff , entered public life together forty
years ago. The others were Senators Teller
ot Colorado , Gordon of Georgia , Alljson of
Iowa , Cockrcll ot Missouri , Mitchell ot Tre-
gon. Halo and Frye of Maine , Burroughs of
Michigan , Mills of Texas , Blackburn of Ken
tucky and Elklns of West Virginia , who
were then In- the house. Vlco President
Stevenson- was also a member of the house
at that time , Mr. Cannon of Illinois ( who
lost one term ) and Mr. Culbertson of Texas ,
alone survived In the house the mutations
of twenty years , although Mr. Danford of
Ohio , who was a member of that congress ,
is also a member of the present body.
Senator Jones of Arkansas and Senator
Butler ot North Carolina , who managed.Jhe
democratic and populistlc cam'palg'ns1'r"wei-o
present , but did not appear to take n deep
'Interest In the .count. Prominent also In
the sea of faces was whltebaired Senator
Palmer of Illinois , who headed the gold
democratic ticket last fall.
x
COUNT IS FORMAL. , '
The count Itself was of a very fqrmal
character.
Vice President Stevnnson sat at the sldc-
of Speaker Reed and presided over the Joint
session. Senators Lodge and Bluckblirn , on
the part of the senate , and Messrs Grosve-
nor and Richardson on behalf of the hoube ,
acted as tellers. The returns were opened
by the Vice President and announced by
the tellers. The reading of the certificates ,
long In verbiage , was omitted after that of
Alabama had been read. No demonstration
occurred at any point during the count , but
when the vice president at Its conclusion ,
announced the result there was a round of
applause both on the floor and In the gal
leries. The totals were as follows :
For president : McKlnley , 271 ; Bryan , 17C.
For vice president : Hobart , 271 ; Sewall
149) ) Watson , 27.
After the vice president had made formal
announcement of the result , he dismissed
the Joint session , after which the senators
filed out Into the hall as they came , while
the members of the house stood up and the
ceremony was over. At 1:50 : the house ad
journed , i
The only incident of the proceedings oc
curred when Senator Ledge raised a luugh
In announcing the vote of Missouri. He
gave It by mistake to MeKlnley. The an

Is the only notification the president-elect
end vice president-elect will receive. No
official communication Is sent to them.
DAY'S DOINGS ITHIS SHXATR.
Sriintor Morgan Finally AlimiiloiiH the
\li-iiriiKiiu Canal Illll ,
WASHINGTON , Feb. 10. Senator Morgan ,
the champion of the Nicaragua canal bill ,
announced In the senate today hU abandon
ment of that measure for the present session
of congress , and thereupon It was displaced
by the bankruptcy bill. The senator Tiiado
this move after a protracted contest , cov
ering several weeks , which had disclosed
the fact that obstructive opposition could
not bo overcome. Ho gave notice that ho
would renew his advocacy of the bill at
un early day of the coming extra session ,
Mr. Morgan bitterly criticised the British
opposition to the canal , and , addrerslng him
self directly to Mr. Sherman , declared that
If the next secretary of state permitted him
self to bo foJ on the anodynes of flattery
of Great Britain the people would not sup
port him. Mr. Mcrgan asserted also that
Mr. Sherman would not succeed In negotia
ting a treaty relative to Iho canal , as the
genius of Talleyrand or Mctternlch could not
stand against tbo "thimble rigging , of those
republics.
The bankruptcy bill succeeded to the ad
vantageous position of "unfinished business , "
but the debate went over until tomorrow.
The agricultural appropriation bill was taken
up late In the day and passed at t3,255COO ,
It led to a lively debate , in which Secretary
Morton was sharply criticised by Senators
Vest , Chandler , Tlllman and others. The
house bill was passed , extending the time
of complying with the requirements of the
act forfeiting railroad lands. Mr. McBrldc ,
republican oi Oregon , explaining that the
bill applied to lands along the Northern
Pacific , route.
Mr. Tlllman called up the bill limiting
the effect of the federal laws on liquor trlf-
flc so as to glvo each state absolute control
of the subject. Mr. Platt , republican of Con-
ncctlcut , thought It was a measure requir
ing an explanation , and Mr , Tlllman pro
ceeded to explain In detail. He said the
bill was designed to glvo each state tbo
right to control the liquor tralllc In its own
way without Interference from the federal
Judiciary or any other source , A recent de
cision of the United States supreme court on
the South Carolina law permitting stale
regulation ot thu liquor trattle. The amend
ments were made to meet the objections of
the various courts < o as to allow the itato
to t-xcrclie police control of foreign made
liquor In the states as well as of home made
liquors
Mr Mills opposed the bill as a step back
ward , allowing as It does , said ho , Inter
ference with Interstate commerce. He con
sidered It a very dangerous precedent ,
Mr , Vest also opposed It on the same
ground. The bill was , bo said , intended to
J- .
maintain the South Carolina monopoly under
Ihe dispensary law. A '
' 'I openly confess that to tie the object , "
said Mr. Tlllman. ; irc vfjurthg of our
people have expressed their 'lupport ot the
principle. "

MORGAN EAKS.
When the senate rccofyencif the Nicaragua
canal bill came tip as regular order of busi
ness and Mr. Morgan renewc.1 his advocacy
of the measure. Mr. Mbrgan declared that
British Interference was continually at
work to prevent American control ot the
canal. He had posltM and detailed Information
mation supporting thlsS declaration. "It U
of such a character , " sold Mr. Morgan , "that
I am compelled to present this Information
to the senate In executive sestlon , It will
disclose that up to ttils hour British Inter
vention has been conspiring to prevent the
consummation ot this aoal project under
American control. Unlcsi all the manhood
of the United States haif been taken out ot
us by contracts to kFe'p the peace , there
would be serious results' from the abandon
ment of the canal bill to wjilch the senate
was now Invited ,
Turning to Mr. Sherman , who sat across
the nlnle , Mr. Morgan .said ! "The senator
from Ohio will never be able to execute his
plan for a treaty of which he BO hopefully
speaks. And I said to him the other day
If he had the genius of a Mottcrnlch and a
Tallyrand he would be overcome by those
little thlmble-rlgglng republics , who will
stand ready to conspire with other govern
ments and to clreumven ; his plans. No ,
the senator from Ohio In his new position
will find his efforts brqugnt to .naught. "
The Incoming presldetitwnuld have to
meet this grave Issue , lie added. At the
basis of It was th ? question of protecting
American interests and .American cltlzena.
"We arc Informed there lu 'to be an extra
session ot congress , " Jtroce.eded Mr. Mor
gan , "and I give notice * that at the earliest
possible day I will offer this bill again and
will do what I can to secure : ' Its passage and
If the honor of this crooning .work of the
close ot the century fall' to the lot of a
republican president I will thank Gad that
wo have n president \\tii , tango step by
step with hit ! fellow cltUens In defense of
the power and glory of ttSs republic. I will
now withdraw It. "
Mr. Morgan laid before the senate a let
ter from William L. Mrrlck. consul of
Nicaragua at San Frandlscd , expressing the
confident belief that Minister Rodriguez's
letter to Olney opposing- the canal project
wca unauthorized and 'was contrary to the
views held by President Zelalo of Nicaragua.
The letter also set forth ntimcrous circum
stances Indicating that' ' British Influence In
spired' opposition to the canal. As Mr. Mor
gan proceeded with criticisms on Great
Britain Sir Richard Cartwrlght and Mr.
Davles , the Canadian cqihmlssloners , en
tered the diplomatic gallery and were atten
tive listeners to the caustic words of the
ecuator. . I
"Are we not to be suhlep by the lessons
of the past ? " he exclalmud. "Are we to

The canal bill was , , then , ' displaced , Mr.
Morgan consenting that It .should go to the
calendar.

VESTs GETS
The agricultural appropriation bill was
then fiu'ien up. " U soonvbrflotjht .out a * e .
verc' arraignment ofh.Setretafj' ' JIbr\pn \ by
Mr. Vest of Mlssourt | He spoke against
the Item of ? G5,000 fpV publication of cer
tain kinds of alleged agricultural literature ,
In , one of thqso agrlpultural bulletins Mr ,
Vest .said . the secretary 'had arraigned the ,
people of , , the .states which had voted for
Bryan as Ignorant and illiterate , \\hlle the
people of the McKlnloy states were held up
as. paragons of Intelligence and refinement.
And this publication , hcf added , was made
In order that the farmer ! might know that
the vote of Bryan waa .representative of
the Ignorance of the Eountrj * . Would any
senator approve the publication ?
Mr. Gallingcr remarkejd that such pub
licans were a clear perversion ot the funds
Intended for legitimate agricultural liter
ature and It was a perversion which. should
bo rebuked. " i
Mr. Vest held up anojhcr bulletin of the
department and In tones , of Intense sarcasm
pointed out a picture 'of.ySecretnry ' Morton's
country residence in Nebraska as an em
bellishment of a piibllcatlpn on Arbor day.
The publication contained a college ad
dress of the secretary delivered before ho
entered the public service.
Sir. Chandler spoke Of another bulletin
from the same department In which the
financial question was 'discussed and the
secretary had attempted ; to show the law
would make up the /difference / between
gold and silver and that a subordinate lir
the department who nre'pared the report
had failed to carry out tiio secretary's Ideas.
Mr. Chandler said siich' publications should
not emanate from th'c Agricultural depart
ment. ' '
Mr. Cuilom , In charsi of the bill , urged
that the peculiarities pC tlie present secre
tary should not bo visited upon the next
tecretary. If the next Secretary pursued the
policy ot the present secretary Mr. Cuilom
said ho would not favor any appropriation ;
but HIP ono umlerstood > to 4 > o the cholcs of
Mr. McKlnley was 'an , actual farmer who
would not Indulge In agricultural bulletins
on finance. '
Mr , Stewart assertetU that the secretary
was ' 'the ' most picturesque specimen' ' he had
over known , and the senator urged that this
report should not bo taken serlouslv ,
Mr. Tlllman spoke for the rctrntlon of
the Item , saying Jhe farmers should not
be prejudiced because the department had
a secretary who prostituted his position

WASHINGTON , Feb. 10. ( Special Tele

Ing upon the thla of the South Omaha public
building property. Is not nil satisfied with
the present conditions. It Is held -that If the
property Is to be accepted , and there havs
been many telogratto asking that the slto
selected ba accepted , that condemnation
proceedings will have to bo Instituted In
order to clear up the title , which Is very de
ficient. Whither the attorney general will
take this course Is problematical. The In
clination Is that the Treasury department
shall send a special examiner to South
Omaha and select a site which will come
within $15,000 , the- amount appropriated , and
to all Intents nnd purpose be as acceptable !
cs the site selected originally.
The Postofllco department , although Im
portuned to Issue a tcrles ot commemorative
stamps for thu Transmlsslppl Exposition , has
dcclde'd to leave their Issuance to the Incom

the new administration will have charge of
the exposition it ought to have the oppor
tunity to make the commemorative stamps.
For several years educational work in be

Tariff Milker * HIIMJ- .
WASHINGTON , Feb. 10. The republican
tariff makers spent , another day consider
ing the schedule of manufacturers of Iron
and steel. Nails and cutlery were the di
visions of the schedule which engaged their
attention , but no definite rates upon these
articles were fixed. The committee decided
tentatively to put the duty on nails at about
one-fourth of the McKlnley rates and to
make It specific. Even the Wilson rotes on
nails are , in the minds of the committee ,
practically prohibitive , and a majority of
the republicans expressed the opinion that
nails can bo made so cheaply In the eastern
states that no duty Is necessary. The Pacific
coast , however , on account of foreign com
petition , seemed to need protection , and
the rate of duty agreed upon , If maintained ,
will bo for the benefit of the coast. No
definite duties on cutlery were discussed , but
It was decided to make a rectification of that
division .of the schedule and fix specific
rates which will bo materially higher than
the present ad valorem duties on cutlery.

cilice today. Among- the early arrivals was
Colonel T. Wimbcrly of New Orleans , who
Is a very promlneit republican In Louisiana ,
as well as a member ot the national commit
tee from that state. Colonel Wimberly
was closeted with the national chairman for
some time during the morning. To an
Associated press reporter , Colonel Wimberly
admitted that his mission was of political
Interest , but for obvious reasons ho was

Mr. Hanna said today that the statement
tl-at he Intended to go to Canton this week

CANTON , 0. , Feb. 10. Although nothing
later has trar spired than has been printed
day by day In the Associated press dis
patches , notably the interviews with ex-
Governor Long at Boston , in which It waa
said no formal tcndsr of any particular
place has been made. It may bo stated that
the president-elect has determined upon Mr.
Long for a cabinet -place and the portfolio
will probably be the navy. It is known that
overwhelming testimonials have come from
New England In recommendation of the ex-
governor slnco his name was first men
tioned. They have como from chambers of
commerce , business and profouilonnl associa
tions , lawyers and telegrams J/y / thousands
from the masses of the people. While there
Is no authority to say that Mr. Long has
formally accepted a plare In the cabinet ,
thorn is belltved to be no doubt that ho
will accept a tender and most probably the
acceptance will bo the navy.

niiil a Illll Sent to
the City.
It la an old and well established maxim
that a stream never rises above Us source.
Accepting tills deduction as logical , It Is not
to bo wondered at that the police force
should bo In such a lamentable condition ,
or 'that this city should he the scene of
eo much unpunished dime and debauchery.
The IJco has already shown how the
present police force was organized by the
reinstatement and promotion o ( all the
ofllccrs who had been dismissed by the
old board for misconduct and lucompctcncy.
With the principal posts of honor given
to men whoso records had brought them Into
disgrace , It Is hardly to be wondered that
subordinates have no Incentive to efficient
performance of duty or fall Into dlsrcputa
by following the examples of their superiors.
Especially In the man chosen by the "re
form" police board to preside over the
department as chief of police have the
people of this city been afforded a picture
of reform from which they must turn their
heads away In shame.
Al T. Slgwart , the present chief of police , Is
not wanting for a record hoth before and
after hla last appointment. Neither Is his
record of that sort one would naturally ex
pect to find associated with the name of a ,
"reform" chief of police. There are nu
merous stories afloat concerning some ot
Slgwart's , secret escapades In Omaha ,
right where he Is charged with
the duty and responsibility ot re
pressing crime. lie has been some
what circumspect In his actions here ; how
ever , and has succeeded fairly well In
escaping public notice. Hud he been equally-
circumspect when away from Omaha , the
following account ot his visit to Chicago
might read differently :
WHY HK WENT THERE.
In June , 1596 , Chipsigwart ' went to-
Chicago , ostensibly to' inspect tlic BorUllon
system of tracing crime and Identifying-
criminals. HoSveuVan official business and
In an official capacity. Upqri reaching :
Chicago he might have been expected to have
gone to the proper place , Inspected the
system and icturned home. Did he do thlsT
Well , hardly. On the contrary ho proceeded
at once to have a "good time , " and If ho
didn't have It It wasn't his fault.
Instead of going to the central pollco
Btatlon or to pollco headquarters , or to
register at n hotel , ho went to visit a friend
named Anderton , residing at 173 Howe street
and whose iilnco of business Is at 17 Dear
born street. About the first public place ho
visited was a saloon at 110 'South Clark
street. This saloon Is chlclly the head
quarters for sports and the chief , no doubt ,
found his call there agreeable. Ho remained
In this saloon for some little time , and whllo
there patronized the bar liberally. It might
be well for the ministerial petitioners and
for Chief Sigwart to explain to fho public
how much ho learned , or could learn , about
the Bertlllon system In u beer saloon.
Sigwart and his friend , Anderson , next visited
a fmloon at 7 Deaborn street , and the chief
drank three glasses of beer In the short tlrua
ho was there. Mr. Anderson had business
to attend to , so ho separated from the chief
and the latter continued to maUo the rounds
alone.
QETS IN WITH THE WOMEN.
The next place he stopped at was the
"Wabash" saloon , corner of Wabush avenue
and Madison street. This saloon Is In the
basement and Is counted one of the toughest
dives In all Chicago. It Is known to tan
pollco as a place frequented by notorious
women. Sigwart. remaliied In this dlvo over
an hour and while there drank five glasses
of beer. There were several women In tbo
saloon and bo Indulged In more or less
flirtation and tried to make the acqualntanco
of ono of tbo women.
After leaving hero Sigwart mot a man
named Larsen , and together they continued
to take In the tights. At the corner of
Randolph and Dearborn streets they were
Joined by two women , and , with ono on
either side of him , the chief paraded the
public streets , his friend Larson taking
another route. In a aliort time the chief
was back to the "Wubash" saloon , where
the two women and Sigwart sat down to a
table and the chief ordered beer. They
were boon joined by Larsen , and all four
wont Into a private wlno room and remained
there long enough to drink six rounds of
Chicago beer.
From here Slgnart and hla gay female
companion went to n house kept by a Mm.
Ilutchlns at 3120 South State street. They
remained there for.an hour and a half.
Upon leaving they repaired to L. D.
Angelica's baleen on Wabash avenue , at
which place they tpeut about two hour
entertaining their companions with funiiy
stories and bottled beer.
Blgwart and Lart.cn next visited a no-
torlouu dive on Vluceniicn avenue , known aa
the "Great White Horea Inn. " Hero tboy
formed the acqualntanco of two more
women , and sat down to a table and drank
beer with them for over an hour , When
the chief emerged from this place ho was
arm-in-arm with one of Ilia women. They
went to a house at 3502 VInccmies avenue ,
and there engaged a room for the iilgbt.
Sigwart visited tbo Harrison street sta
tion ouo day for a tow minutes , and , no
far an could be ascertained , this Is aa far
aa he went In ( ho matter of "inspuctlng"
tlio Bertlllou system , Ho seems to have
confined his vhlt and ills "Inspecting" to
women and bottled goods , Ho made no
effort while there to study the system or
to learn anything concerning police method * ,
notwithstanding th.it lie was sent there by
the "reform" police board for thin exprouv
purpose ,
HIS TRIP WAU SATISFACTORY ,
Hlgwart came homo and reported a verj
satisfactory trip. HH tut down and wroti
out the following bill of uxpenscs , whicl
