Fair weather prevailed in Ohio today for the municipal and township elections. The unusually large vote for April indicates more In terest than usual in these local contests. This was -duo to the fact that a full state ticket Is to be elected next No vember, to'gether" with members of the Legislature, who will choose a successor to Senator Foraker. In some few locali ties legislative nominations were made by a popular vote. None show any op position to Foraker among the Republi cans, and there was not enough action of this kind to indicate any preference for John R. McLean, Tom L. Johnson or any one else as the Democratic favorite for the Senatorship. There was no election. In Cincinnati Mayor Flelschmann and the other Re publican city officers were elected one year ago for terms of three years. There Is ho election at Dayton for Mayor until next April, the principal contest' in that city being only for Police Judge. Special Interest was taken in the contest aCCo lumbus, where the Republicans for the past two years have had the Mayor and all the other city officers. As Governor Nash and ex-Congressman Lentz reside at Columbus, both took great interest in the contest there. Democratic adminis trations were in control at Cleveland and Springfield, where the Republicans made hard fights so as to control the political machinery of as many cities as possible at the-state election in November. Sam uel Jones made his race for the third term as Mayor of Toledo, independent of all parties, and on his "Golden Rule" platform. while the Democrats carried the larger cities and some of the smaller places, yet the Republicans show slight gains in the state as a whole. In the three larger cities, -Cleveland, Columbus and Toledo, the Democrats show gains, which are off set by Republican gains in the smaller cities throughout the state. At Columbus, where the Republicans have had the city government, the Democrats elect their candidate by a close margin, while at Cleveland, ex-Congressman Tom L. John son (Dem.) is elected Mayor by about 3000 maioritv.

Carr, of Manistee, Republican candidates for Regents of the State Uni versity, have also been elected by a ma jority almost as large. The vote cast was light, except In those cities where there was a fight on some local Issue. There were two constitutional amendments voted on, both of which were defeated. One fixed the compensation of State Leg islators at J1000 per term and mileage, In stead of $3 per day when the Legislature is in session, as at present, and the other provided for an, Increase In the salary of Circuit Courta In Bay County. The Democrats make a marked gain in Jack son, where their entire ticket was elected. The city went Republican last year. In Owosso, S. D. Emery, Prohibitionist, was elected Mayor, overcoming a Republican, majority last year of 560. He was the only member of the ticket,, however, Tvho was successful. In Detroit, John B. Chelan, .Republican, was re-elected Police Justice, the only municipal officer voted for, fjy 4285 ma jority. Judge Montgomery carried De troit by over 2500 majority. Of the 17 School Inspectors elected, 11 are Republi cans and 6 Democrats. At Jackson. JACKSON, Mich., April L-Today's elec tion resulted In a sweeping Democratic victory, Frank E.

The most in teresting municipal election in this city In years resulted today in the election of Tom L. Johnson, Democrat, to the office of Mayor, over William Ackers, Republi can, by a plurality of 5000. Only the head of the Republican ticket was defeated, the candidates for the minor offices on that ticket being successful. The City Council will have a Republican majority of two. Kurtz, Republican, for City Treasurer, was elected; Fielder, Republi can, for Police Judge, and Schlndler, Re publican, for Police Prosecutor, were elected. The school council Is also Re publican. Mr. Ackers' defeat is generally believed to be due to the charge thJt he represented what is known as the Mc Klsson faction in local Republicanism. At Toledo. TOLEDO, April 1. Samuel M. Jones has been elected to succeed himself as Mayor of Toledo. His majority over McMaken Tvlll be about 6000. Jones announced him self as a non-partisan candidate, and his nomination was secured by petition, the papers being widely circulated and signed by the majority of the worklngmen. He was indorsed by the Democratic conven tion, and was, in fact, the Democratic candidate. His' campaign was unique. His forces were not marshaled, and he had no campaign committee to take charge of the fight. He spoke in every ward and precinct in the city, advocating the golden rule. The Republicans had a strong candidate In General W. V. Mc Maken, who served In the Spanish-American SVar. At Menominee. MENOMINEE, Midh.t April 1.

Negotiations Without Colombia's Consent Would Forfeit Charter. NEW YORK, April 1. A special to the Herald from Washington says: While M. Hutln, pr esldent of the French Panama Canal, has been awaiting the participation of Colombia In the negotia tions for the sale of the Panama Canal to the United States, M. Bruna Barlla, for merly an engineer of the company, who says he represents some of the stockhold ers, has Indicated to the Isthmian Canal Commission that the company Is willing to sell its concessions and property. M. Barlla will leave In a few days for France. He has been in Washington for several days. M. Hutln has seen M. Barlla, and the two have talked over the situation. M. Barlla has represented to Rear Admiral Walker, president of the Isth mian Canal Commission, that M. Hutln Is to be displaced from the office of presi dent of the French company. It Is learned, however, that M. Hutln wad ad vised only a few days ago ot his re election to the presidency, showing that he Is to be retained for another year, and that a majority of the stockholders are satisfied with his policy. M. Hutln has contended that under the terms of the concession held by the com pany the grant would be subject to forr felt from the moment negotiations began for its sale, unless such negotiations had the approval of- the Colombian Govern ment. It was,, therefore, impossible for him to submit a proposition for the sale of the concession to the United States as required by the Isthmian Canal Commis sion. 0 . i French Premier 111.

The Geological Survey, which Is to conduct the survey, Is of the opinion that this survey could In no way prove detrimental to the water supply of Port land, but would rather result to Its bene fit, y Officials Interested strongly advocate an "adequate system of protection against fire" ,ln this reserve, and suggest the cutting of a firebreak 200 or 300 feet wide all .around the reserve, with numerous roads or fire runs through the forests, so that rangers and others could have ready access tolts protection should fires break out In the 'Interior. They believe that a devastating fire in this reserve would work irreparable injury to Portland's water supply, and urge the proposed sur .vey as being of assistance in intelligently laying out a road system. This system of firebreaks and roads, being in the sole in terest of Portland, it is thought the citv "should bear the expense of the Improve ment, if undertaken. No action toward a survey will be taken, however, until the city officials are heard from further. Grazing Permits.

One of the hard est fought municipal campaigns in the history of St. Louis closed tonight, with mass meetings held in every part of tho city by most of the six parties having tickets In the field. The tickets to be voted tomorrow are the Democratic, Republican, Good Government, Public Ownership, Social Democratic, and So cialist Labor. Each one has a full list of candidates for municipal officers. A most presistent and thorough canvass for votes has been made by" representa tives of every ticket, and almost every night for several weeks numerous mass meetings have been held. Victory 13 especially desirable at thl3 time, be cause the successful candidates will hold office during the World's Fair to be held here in 1903 in commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the Louisiana purchase. Municipal reform has been the rally ing cry of every party, and a great scramble has been made to secure the labor vote, which will be heavy, and divided. An important factor in the con test Is the public ownership ticket, the leaders of which party are putting forth every effort to win on the promise of municipal ownership of public transpor tation franchises. Leaders of the Dem ocratic, Republican and Public Owner ship parties are each confident of a suc- cess for their respective tickets at the polls tomorrow. Great Interest has been aroused among all classes of citizens, and it is expected that a very large per centage of the unusually heavy regis tration will be in evidence in the bal lot boxes! The mayoralty candidates are: Rolla Wells, democrat; George W. Parker, re publican; Chauncey I.
