CHICAGO, April 2. Carter H. Harri son has been re-elected Mayor of Chica go for the second time, and will next week commence his third term, as the chief executive of the city. His total plurality over Judge Elbridge Hanecy, Republican, is 28,257 votes. The total vote of the city is: Harrison 156,952 Hanecy 128.695 In the Mayoralty election the vote was: Harrison, Democrat J'42 Carter, Republican .107,437 Harrison's plurality 41,059 In the Presidential campaign last Fall, the city vote for President McKInley was 184,786; for Bryan, 177,165, giving Mc KInley a plurality of 7621. Samuel Al schuler, the Democratic nominee for Gov ernor of the state, ran ahead of Bryan, however, his vote being 188,521, against 172,386 for Yates, a plurality of 16,135 for Alschuler. Of the 35 wards of the city, Harrison today carried 26 and Hanecy nine. The vote was badly split, some of the strong est Republican wards of the city giving only a small plurality for the ticket and some going to Harrison, who suffered in some of the Democratic strongholds. The city wards were redlstrlcted after the Presidential election, and the majorities in some of the wards were turned squareiy around from what they have always been. The redlstrictlng will make" some differ ence In the complexion of the next mu nicipal Council, as several of the Alder men, who, in ordinary circumstances, would have held over, were redlstrlcted out of their wards. There were two hold overs in the second and two In the 21st wards, and no hold-overs in the seventh and the 31st. Where there were two hold overs, the new Council will decide when the men are entitled to the seat and where there were none and two men were elected at the present election, the courts will be called upon to decide the question of the legality of an Aldermanic election in which two men were elected at one time, instead of one, as provided by the statutes governing the case. For these reasons it Is impossible at this time to predict the exact formation of the new Council, but the Indications are at pres ent that the Republicans will have a working majority. Thj present body con sists of 39 Republicans, 27 Democrats and four Independents. Of the hold-overs, 16 were Republicans, 15 Democrats and three Independents. The chief issue In the campaign has been the granting of franchises to the street-car companies of the city. These will all expire soon by limitation, and the terms of extension are to be settled during the next two years. Harrison has In former years made a record against the granting of long franchises, and he and all of his followers claimed through out the campaign that the Republican nominee was inclined to grant long-time privileges. This the Republicans denied with great energy, making their campaign on the flaws they picked in the record of Mayor Harrison and saying that Han ecy was no more disposed to favor the street-xar companies than is Harrison. Hanecy was the nominee of the Re publican machine, which is dominated by ex-Congressman William Lorlmer, and this fact cost him many otes in his party, as there are many of the rank and file of the party who are stoutly opposed to their party machine and all of its works. The Democratic following of ex-Governor Altgeld was against Har rison. One of the features of the campaign was the Aldermanic contest in the 21st ward, Mayor Harrison's home ward, where Honore Palmer, son of Potter Palmer, was a candidate for election on the Demo cratic ticket, it being his first essay in politics. His opponent was S. H. Helm, Republican, who has been Alderman from the ward for about two years. Palmer was elected by a majority of about 1200. The Democrats carried all the city of fices on the ticket, as well as that of Mayor. William Loeffler was elected City Clerk; A. J. Ryart, City Attorney, and C. F. Gunther. City Treasurer. From the figures available at midnight, It ap pears that their pluralities will be within 1000 of Harrison's. None of- them will probably have a majority exceeding his. In the various towns the elections were about evenly divided. The Democrats carried the south, north and probably the west towns, while Republican officials have been elected in the towns of Jeff-' erson, Hyde Park and Cicero. The Municipal Voters League, an organiza tion composed of business men, took an energetic part In the Aldermanic contests in the various wards. The aim of the or ganization was to secure the nomina tion of men considered most competent to serve as Aldermen, Irrespective of poli tics. The league indorsed 29 candidates of which 18 were elected. ' ELECTIONS IN KANSAS. Results in Important Cities Discour aging to Prohibitonists. KANSAS CITY, Mo., April 2. Municipal elections were held in all the larger cities of Kansas today. Party lines were not drawn generally, and In numerous cities the issue was enforcement of the prohib itory liquor law. Mrs. Nation's crusade aroused the temperance people to po litical action. In the most important cities the results of the election were dis couraging to the Prohibitionists. At Kansas City, Kan., the largest city in the state, the Democrats achieved a sweeping victory for the first time In the city's history, electing the Mayor and all city officers by 900 plurality. At Topeka, where the Republican ticket was support ed by the law enforcement people, the Democrats claim to have elected Arthur Parker, the remainder of the officers elect ed being Republicans. At Wichita, where Mrs. Nation began her crusade, the temperance ticket was overwhelmingly defeated by the Republicans. At Leaven worth, one of the most hotly contested Spring elections ever held In the city re sulted In the election of the entire Demo cratic ticket by a majority of 500. Ryan was elected Mayor and as far as returns were received up to 11:30, the Republicans have no prospect for a single candidate, except for members of the School Board, Indorsed by both parties. The results in other Kansas towns follow: Harper The anti-temperance element elected Its entire ticket by a large ma jority. Great Bend The Republican ticket de feated the temperance ticket, E. S. Abner being elected Mayor by 60 majority. Newton The Republican ticket was elected by over 400 majority with little contest. Glrard The Republican city ticket was elected by 200 majority. Emporia The Republican ticket, which was supported by the Prohibition element, won by a handsome majority. JLarned The nonpartisan people's ticket was elected, which means a victory for the temperance element. Eureka The law-and-order ticket, with J. B. Mason for Mayor, was elected after a hard fight. Lawrence The Republican ticket was elected by a majority of three to one. The Prohibition ticket, which was placed in the field under the name of a "Business" ticket, did not draw hardly a vote from the Republicans. Garnet The Republicans elected their ticket by good majorities. Holton The entire temperance ticket was elected without opposition. Enterprise O. B. Hoffman, who sup ported Mrs. Nation, and who was a can didate on a "dry" ticket, was defeated for 'Mayor by J. E. Buhrer. Solomon The entire "wet" ticket, head ed by E. Z. Butcher for Mayor, was elect ed by a good majority. Scandla The antl-Natlons won, and at Klngley the "dry" ticket was elected. Atchison J. W. Orr, Democrat, was elected Mayor by 500 majority. The Re publicans elected most of the members of the Council. Manhattan The law-and-order ticket, headed by Rev. J. K. Miller, was elected. Fort Scott The entire Republican ticket was elected in Fort Scott. It favors law and order. Sallna Thomas Anderson, the temper ance candidate for Major, was elected by an overwhelming majority, together with the rest of the ticket. Arkansas City The law-and-order ticket was elected' after a hard fight. W. J. Pollock was elected Mayor by a majority of 75. Iola The Republicans elected their en tire ticket. DENVER GOES REPUBLICAN. Only the Vote for Mayor and Some o the Councilmcn Is in Doubt. DENVER, April 2 The city election today has gone heavily Republican, the only part which Is at all In doubt being the Mayoralty and some of the members of the Council. Henry V. Johnson, the present Mayor, ran independently on a ticket which, with three or four excep tions, was identical with that of the Re publicans headed by Robert R. Wright. The combined vote for the two is conced ed by leading Democrats to exceed that for the Democratic ticket headed by Judge E. T. Wells by from 4O00 to 5000. Johnson's' vote Is not far from 4Q00, which leaves the vote for Mayor In doubt. The Republic ans will probably have a majority In the Council. Leading Democrats concede the election of the body of the Republican ticket by 4000 to 5.000 plurality, while claiming the Mayoralty In doubt. Notwithstanding ''sensational rumors during the day, there were no serious disturbances. Early In the afternoon Mayor Johnson issued a proclamation de claring that frauds were being perpe trated -at the polls arid calling for volun teers to serve as special policemen. Hun dreds responded to the call, and General Irving Hale was placed in command of them. There were few arrests, however. J. T. Diber was Instantly killed and A. T. Rice fatally wounded by Max Rogers in a fight at Overland Park, which Is said to have originated In a dispute over politics. Rogers used a Winchester rifle. The men were all horsemen connected with the Overland Park track. At Colorado Springs. COLORADO SPRINGS, April 2. Colo rado Springs elected the entire Repub lican ticket today by from 1400 to 1800 majority. There were but two tickets in the field, the Republican and the Demo cratic. Every member of the City Coun cil elected today is Republican. This is the most sweeping Republican victory ever achieved In this city. Not exceeding five preclnots out of a total of 23 have gone Democratic, and those precincts only give light majorities. At Lendvllle. LEADVILLE, April z. The city elec tion passed off very quietly. There were only two tickets In thefield, Democratic and Republican. The principal contest was on the Mayoralty. Complete returns give McDonald, Republican, 2039; Jean notte, Democrat, 1901; Curtis, Republican, for Treasurer, 1953; Stead, Democrat, for Treasurer, 1867. The Democrats elect Lamping and Horrigan for Aldermen; the Republicans elect Smith. At Pueblo. PUEBLO, April 2 Indications are for the re-election of Mayor George West, Democrat, over John Downen, nominee of the Republicans and Law and Order League. The platform of the latter was the suppression of gambling and the clos ing of saloons at midnight and Sunday. The vote was much lighter than antici pated, the good-government forces falling to make the rally anticipated. The Coun cil Is still In doubt. County Elections in Wisconsin. MILWAUKEE, Wis., April 2. County elections were held throughout Wiscon sin today, and nearly all the cities and towns elected tickets. As a rule, party lines were eliminated. Joshua E. Dodge was elected to the Supreme Bench with out opposition. In Arkansas. LITTLE ROCK, Ark , April 2. Munici pal elections were held throughout the state today, and In nearly every case where pa'rty lines were drawn the Demo cratic nominees were elected. In Little Rock, Mayor Duley, Dem., was re-elected by a large majority. Electon at San Diego. SAN DIEGO, Cal., April 2 The Repub licans have elected their entire ticket, with the exception of City Treasurer. Frank P. Frary, Rep., for Mayor, will have 500 plurality over his Democratic opponent. Socalists Successful at Sheboygan. SHEBOYGAN, Mich., April 2.

With him was elected the entire Democratic .ticket 8 - 'CARTER H. III. II Uff J$J? RE-ELECTED MAYOR OP CHICAGO. At, midnight, Charles Welnhaker, the Re publican candidate for City Collector, con ceded the defeat of the entire Republican ticket. George W. Parker, the Republic an candidate, and Lee Merrlwether, who Is running independently on the munici pal ownership platform, are running a closexrace for second place. St. Louis is normally a Republican city by about 15,000 plurality. This has been reversed, and a Democratic plurality of 10,000 rolled up. Some of the Republicans claim that the Nesbit law has enabled the Democrats to make such a strong showing at the polls. They claim fraud, and .threaten to' contest the. election. The Democrats, on the other hand, say that their candidate was elected honestly, and they do not fear the result of a contest. This election Is of more than local sig nificance, as William J. Bryan, In his pa per. The Commoner, and ex-Governor John P. Altgeld, of Illinois, from the stump In this city, have fought the elec tion of Wells because he was a Gold Democrat for two campaigns. They both Indorsed Merrlwether, the candidate' for the public ownership party. It will be late tomorrow before the ex act figures on the election are known. United States District Attorney Rozler, while at precinct No. 4, of the Twenty fifth Ward, at noon today was wounded In the fleshy part of the left arm by a stray bullet fired by one of a gang of ne groes who were rescuing one of their num ber arrested for alleged repeating. While Mr. Rozler was standing at the polls, John Banks, one of a crowd of 20 or more negroes, attempted to vote. His vote was challenged by Mr. Rozler, who said the negro had already voted elsewhere. He requested the police officer there to ar rest Banks This was done, and while the officer was telephoning for the patrol wacon. the crowd of negroes surrounded him and his prisoner, whom they rescued. 1 Between 40 and 50 shots were fired by the negroes, more for the purpose of Intimida tion than to hit anybody. After the ne groes had escaped, it was found tlfat Mr. Rozler had stopped one of the bullets. His wound is not serious, however. At the second precinct of the Fourth Ward, Fred W. Prlesmeyer, a Republican candidate for the House of Delegates, shot and seriously wounded William Dwyer, one of a crowd of men who attempted to assault him because he challenged their votes. Prlesmeyer was placed under ar rest to await the result of Dwyer's inju ries. St. Joseph Is Republican. ST. JOSEPH, Mo., April 2. The city election resulted In a Republican victory Ija the House of Delegates, and the Board of Public "Works. The Democrats elected two members out of nine to the House of Delegates and the Auditor. . BURIED UN2ER SNOW. Heavy Storm in Northwestern Kan sas Stops Railway Traffic. ATWOOD, Kan., April 2. The extreme northwest corner ot Kansas Is burled un der a heavy blanket of snow that Is two feet deep on the level and from 18 to 20 feet In drifts. The prairie roads are Im passable. The St. 5ranci3 branch of the Burlington from Atwood to St, Francis Is nearly all the towns there Is a famine In blockaded. Many cattle have died. In fuel and provisions, and the people are burning the loose railroad ties, fence rails and lumber. The Ice Is too -hard for the rotary rail road plow, and the workers are now try ing to open the cuts by chopping through the Ice with ax and pick. One drift near Bird City is nearly a mile long, and Is 10 feet deep. It has snowed here every day for a week, and the blinding white flakes deter the workers. The Burlington & Missouri River Rail road cuts down on the Orleans & St. Fran, sis from Nebraska, and traverses Rawlins and Cheyenne Counties. The towns on this line from Atwoood west are Blake man, Beardsley, McDonald, Bird City, Wheeler and St. Francis. St. Francis is only a few miles from the Kansas and Colorado line. At St. Francis a Burlington train is snowed up. The roads have been blocked since March 23. MRS. NATION IN ST. LOUIS. Again .Threatens to Smash the Sa loons o the City. ST. LOUIS, April""! Mrs. Carrie Na tion, of Kansas, spent another hour and a half In St. Louis today, and left In dis gust at the things she saw and the treat ment she received. "These things will be different some day," she declared. "Look out forme. after I get out from under bond In Kan sas. I'll close these hellholes If I have to come back and smash every one of them." She arrived from Indianapolis over the Big Four this morning, and left later for Kansas City over the Wabash. She said she was going home to attend to P HARRISON o o the cases that are pending there against her. She says she will never lecture for money any more, as she did In Cincinnati. Tho lectures did not pay, and she says she Is glad they did not, and adds: "I'll keep on talking and working. Maybe I'll smash. I expect I will. But I won't go on the lecture platform. No, I don't Uko that." Mrs. Nation's first act on arriving In the city was to knock a cigar from the mouth of a man who permitted the smoke to blow In her face. Her last act, as she was boarding her train, was to give an American Beauty rose to a man named Englehart, from Chicago, who had two black-red eyes. She told him she would pray for him that he might lead a bet ter life. Between the cigar and the rose Incidents Mrs. Nation ate a breakfast of rolls, sausage and coffee In the second class waiting-room, visited two Market street saloons, and engaged in heated ar guments with the bartenders. Mrs. Nation started on her saloon tour with only one companion. After visiting the place of J. W. Kaupshe, she went to the "Nation" saloon at Sixteenth and Mar ket streets, which she visited a week ago. The doors were unlocked and she walked In. A crowd that packed the saloon gath ered about Mrs. Nation, when she began to talk to Joseph Sauerburger, who grew excited and began to argue angrily. "I don't believe any lady would do as you are doing," he shouted. "You are selling your soul worse than I am. I'll bet you that my wife and I are a good deal happier than you are with your hus band. Answer me; don't you think so? "But you're ruining other families," replied Mrs. Nation, shaking her fists In Sauerburger's face. "No, I'm not," he replied. "I don't In vite anybody In here. I did not ask this crowd to come." Some women In the throng about Mrs. Nation yelled, "Yes, you do, too. You ruin hundreds of families." The crowd cheered, and Sauerburger be came more excited than ever. He grabbed a seltzer bottle and shook It In Mrs. Nation's face. She did not move. He drew his revolver and told her to leave or he would shoot her, and somebody else, too. She made her way to the street and made a speech to the crowd there. "This Is St. Louis," she declared. "This is the kind of a city you've got. I must come back and clean these places out. i can smash If I can't do anything else. The women of this city will help me, I know." KING CHRISTIAN GIVES IN. Willing to Sell the Danish West Indies. LONDON, April 3. "It is no secret that King Christian, and still more the Crown Prince, were from the beginning opposed to the sale of the Danish West Indies," says the Copenhagen correspondent of the Dally News. "This has greatly contrib uted to protract the negotiations. Now the King has suddenly changed his mind. At the last state council he declared that he would no longer oppose the sale to the United States, as he now understood it would be an Important step In the Island's future development. The matter will now probably be settled quickly." Colorndo Legislature Adjourns. DENVER, April 2. The Legislature final ly adjourned shortly after 3 o'clock this morning. The session should have ended by constitutional limitation at midnight. Members entered protests against all measures enacted after midnight, includ ing the new revenue bill, and claim that they are Invalid under a decision of the Supreme Court OATH OF ALLEGIANCE Aguinaldo Acknowledges Un cle Sam's Sovereignty. REPORTED BY GEN, M'ARTHUR The ex-Chief of the Tagal Rebels Promises to Become a. Peace able and Law-Abiding u Citizen. - WASHINGTON, April 2. The War De partment today received Information from General MacArthur that Aguinaldo has taken the oath of allegiance to the United States under the terms of amensty of fered by General MacArthur by direction of the President. The dispatch conveying this information contained much more than was given to the public. The por tion withheld related to the future dispo sition of Aguinaldo and made suggestions, as to what the late chief of the Insurrec tion might accomplish. No official state ment could be obtained as to what finally would be done with the prisoner, but it was emphatically stated that he would be held for the present,, but would ba granted all possible Immunity consistent with existing conditions. General Mac Arthur has hopes that a great deal may be accomplished through Aguinaldo. Dur ing the time he has been a prisoner he has made quite a favorable impression upon General MacArthur. General Mac Arthur's dispatch follows: "Manila, April 2. Adjutant-General, Washington: Since arrival at Manila, Aguinaldo has, at Malacanan, been In vestigating conditions In archipelago. Ha has relied almost entirely upon the In structive advice of Chief Justice Arellano. As a result, today he subscribed and swore to the declaration on page 11 of my annual report. MacARTHUR.' The oath referred to Is a3 follows: "I hereby renounce all allegiance to any and all so-called revolutionary govern ments In the Philippine Islands, and rec ognize and accept the supreme authority of. the United States of America therein. I do solemnly swear that I will bear true faith and allegiance to that government; that I will at all times conduct myself aa a faithful and law-abiding citizen of tha said islands, and will not, either directly or Indirectly, hold correspondence with, or give Intelligence to an enemy of tho United States, nor will I abet, harbor or protect such enemy: that T Impose upon myself these voluntary obligations with out any mental reservations or purpose of evasion, so help me God." It ha3 been suggested that under tho terms of tne notice of amnesty, the pris oner should be set at liberty at once, but there Is a provision In the amnesty prcc- t lamation which says that those who havo A violated the laws of war are excepted from its terms. Whether or not General MacArthur has been, satisfied that Aguin aldo has not violated the laws cannot bo stated, as the prisoner would be permit ted to take the oath pending an investi gation of his past conduct. Aguinaldo, having been the head or the Insurrection, undoubtedly can be held until further In vestigation Is made or until the circum stances which surround the situation in the Philippines make it advisable to re lease him outright, or otherwise dlsposo of him. These conditions and the gen eral situation and Agumaldo's relation to them was the subject of General Mac Arthur's dispatch. " The news of Aguinaldo's action was received with evident satisfaction by the War Department, and the opinion was expressed that good results would follow among those who have been still holding out against the United States. The taking of the oath In itself Is re garded as giving Aguinaldo a status of loyalty to the United Stataes quite dlffer- (Concluded on Second Page.) SUMMARY OF IMPORTANT NEWS. Political.
