Bitter Campaign for Deputies
Ends Today.
BLOC AND ANTI-BLOC FIGHT
Radical Republicans Are Combined
Against 'Monarchist Parties, Mod
. crates Holding Balance La
bor and Church Upmost.
PARIS. May 6. The election campaign
closed tonight and the polls will be
opened throughout France tomorrow,
l.reat interest Is taken in the result.
owing to the fact that it will mean the
country's opinion of the course of the
government In connection with sen
aratlon of church and state and the re
cent labor agitations.
The 691 seats In the Chamber of Depu
tics were contested by over 2000 candl
ilates of various political opinions. The
two great elements are the "Bloc. or
supporters of the government, and the
Anti-Bloc, or opponents of, the gov
ernmcnt.
Leaders of Two Parties.
The "Bloc" is eonposed of the power
of the radical Republicans, numbering
140. tinder the command of War Min
ister Ktienne. and including M. Delcasse,
the ex-Korelgn Minister; 90 radical So
cialists, of whom Premier Sarrlen is the
leader, and about BO Socialists, led by M.
Jnures. All the Ministers are running
as "Hlor" candidates,.
The "Anti-Mo-" includes the Nation
alists, Clericals, Royalists, Bonapartists,
Anti-Semites and various other parties.
Some of the most striking of the oppo
sition candidates are Colonel Marchand,
of Fashoda fame, who is seeking to rep
resent a Paris district; M. Deroulede
and Marcel Mabert, who recently were
amnestied after having been exiled for
treason; Jos Laces, the anti-Semitic
eau"er. who is known as the "French Tim
Jlealy"; the Abbes Lemite and Oiraud.
direct representatives of the church, and
M. Baudey de Fasson. an out-and-out
Royalist and parliamentary buffoon.
Don iner Holds Balance.
The balance of power Is practically
held by the Moderate Republicans, or
Center paVty, with 120 votes. M. Doumer.
President of the Chamber of Deputies,
is the leader of this party, with M.
Rlbot. the ex-Premier, as second In com
mand. They expect to play an import
ant role, as M. Doumer aspires to the
Premiership.
Neither the "Bloc" nor the "Anti
Itloc" organ have clearly defined their
policy, but the government supporters
advocate .f. continuance of the policy of
separating church and state, carry
ing out the worklngmen's pensions and
Introducing income tax bills.
Labor Riots Form Issue.
The recent labor disturbances are ex
pected to influence many voters of the
middle class, who blame the government
for Its early moderation, whereas the
members of the labor party blame the
government's later severity. The church
riots are also Influencing both sides.
The seats of the present Ministers are
accounted safe and therefore not likely
to endanger Republican principles. The
government supporters foresee the loss
of, some seats, bur they are confident of
retaining the majority in the Ceumber
of Deputies. ,
SOCIALIST, GAIN'S ARE LIKKLY
Slay Combine With Catholic Repub
licans to Control Parliament.
PARIS. May 6. (Special.) Tt is now
generally admitted that the outcome of
the election tomorrow will be surprising
gains for the Socialists, but not sufficient
to threaten the present regime, although
it will elect enough members, by combina
tion with the Socialists, to control the
Senate and Chamber of Deputies.
That the government realizes that there
is some force In this contention is shown
by the Intimidation tactics that are being
openly practiced. For more than a week
the word has been passed to all officers
that. If they did not work for the success
of the governmental candidates, they
would be removed from office, while all
officers of the army and navy have been
notified that, if they are against the gov
ernment, their promotion would be indefi
nitely delayed. In case of privates in the
army, they were told that. If they were
not "loyal." they would be given disagree
able details. The result has been the en
gendering of bitter feeling that may cause
trouble at the polling places today.
1SK STRIKES FOR OWN" ENDS
Seized documents Show .Monarchist
Complicity in Disturbances.
PARIS. May 5. Papers seized by the po
lice during the recent domiciliary searches
show, it Is said, a subscription of $140 to
the funds of the Confederation of Labor
for the apparent purpose of stimulating
the revolutionary movement, and also a
document directing the Ronapartist lead
ers to assemble at the strike center when
the agitation has reached its height.
Interior Minister Clemenceau attaches
serious importance to the seizure of the
papers, as disclosing the designs of the
Bonapartists and Monarchists to utilize
the strikes for political ends.
Many monks have been expelled from
Paris; six have gone to London, and oth
ers are expected to attempt to board the
trans-Atlantic steamships sailing today.
The Gil Bias gives prominence to a let
ter from an unnamed Russian student, al
leging that the bombs found in the forest
of Vlncennes were not meant for Paris,
but were Intended to be used at the open
ing of the Russian Parliament, May 10.
A bomb found today on the steps of a
a church In the suburb of Colombs was
the cause of much excitement and fear.
M. Sokoloff, who was wounded by the
explosion of a bomb in the forest of Vln
cennes last Thursday, declared today to
a magistrate that he was a former pupil
of the School of Mines at Warsaw, where
be partieijvated in an insurrection, and
fled to Berlin and then came to Paris.
He only knew that there was a strike In
Paris on the day of the explosion, and
he did not know that he and M. Striga.
a fellow-student in the Paris School of
Mines, who was killed by the explosion,
were carrying bombs.
An investigation shows the existence of
plots to throw bombs at several high
Russian personages who are now in
France. Grand Duke Boris has arrived
here to inspect the Russian convalescent
homes which were founded during the
war.
The striking laborers have issued a
notice that the contractors must grant
them an eight-hour day. either willingly
or by force.

Gives Clark Double Cross.
When the Legislature met Heinze imme
diately began pulling the wires he had
laid for his own ends and insisted that
his own man, John McGlnnls, manager
of the Heinze mining properties, must be
elected Senator for the short term before
he would consent to Clark's election for
the long term.
This demand resulted in an open rup
ture between Clark and Heinze. and the
breach was never healed. The legislative
session from start to finish was marked
by scenes of wild disorder. Clark finally
secured his own election, but it was not
until the session was about to close that
he succeeded In defeating Heinze's
scheme. Paris Gibson, an independent
Democrat, was elected for the short term.
Beginning of Long Fight.
In the next campaign Clark threw his
influence to the Amalgamated crowd and
against Heinze. thus inaugurating the
bitter political fight which has been set

RECEIVER TAKES TRADERS'
Stockholders Balk at Big Assessment,

Owned In Chicago.
CHICAGO. May 5. After wavering in
the balance ever since the cataclysm on
the Pacific Coast, the old Traders' In
surance Company, whose directors and
stockholders are among the city's
wealthiest citizens, went into the hands
of a receiver today. At late as 3 o'clock
yesterday afternoon a relative of T. J.
Lefens. president of the company, had
announced positively that the directors
had ordered an assessment of 1200 a
share and that there would be no trouble
in levying this amount on the issue of
50,000 shares. It was given out today
that the assessment plan failed because
fully half of the stockholders refused to
pay it. It was then decided that there
was nothing left to do but aak that a
receiver be appointed. This action waa
taken in Judge Mack's court at the in
stance of the directors themselves. Byron
T. Smith, president of the Northern
Trust Company, was appointed receiver
under $2,000,000 bond.
Stockholders Will Lose All.
The result of the collapse will be a
total loss to the stockholders, their stock
bearing a market value of 3. 600,000. the
virtual wiping out of insurance policies
to the amount of $100,000,000 and a
forced compromise settlement, first of
the San Francisco losses, which it is
estimated will net the losers there little
more than two-thirds of their claims.
A score of smaller fire insurance com
panies are facing trouble as a result of
the Traders' crash.
Will Wipe Out Assets.
Practically all of the assets of the com
pany, including its insurance reserve of
$1,314,085. its net reserve of $1,500,000 and
its capital of $000,000 w... be needed to
settle the San Francisco claims, which
total in the gross $3,748,000. As against
this sum it is believed that 26 per cent
will be salvage. There are other losses
and claims, however, amounting to $11,962,
and long-distance calls from several
places today told of losses and fires at
several points in the East that are yet
to be adjusted.
Directors All Wealthy.
The receivership action shocked La Salle
street profoundly. It had been accepted
as a matter of course that the organiza
tion, comprising some of the wealthiest
and most responsible citizens of Chicago,
would meet its obligations. The directors
are mainly responsible heads of several
local financial institutions. John J. Mitch
ell, vice-president of the company, is
president of the Illinois Trust & Savings
Bank: Clarence Buckingham is a director
of the Illinois Trust & Savings Bank, and
recognised as a multi-millionaire. The
others stand equally well financially.
The total wealth of the directors is
computed at $50,000,000. so that the bank
ruptcy of the concern could scarcely be
believed. It was stated roundly by a
financial man that the responsible heads
of the company had shirked their respon-

May Be Floated When
the Tide Rises.
NORFOLK, Va.. May 5. The battleship
Rhode Island stranded off York spit, in
Chesapeake Bay today. The vessel passed
in the capes early this morning from the
Boston Navy-Yard, and was on her way
to Yorktown, Va. The big ship was Just
entering the mouth of the York River
when she struck nose-first on a sandbar,
and. from last reports received here, she
is still hard aground.
The ship notified the wireless station
here of her position, and asked for aid.
The tugs Uncas, Hercules and Mohawk
were rushed to her assistance, and have
been standing by the ship since early
this afternoon. The Uncas had Just ar
rived from the Southern drill grounds.
She Is attached to the Atlantic fleet, and
is considered the most powerful towboat
in the service of the Government. The
Hercules and Mohawk are attached to
this yard, and are also powerful boats.
The efforts of the tugs to float the big
ship have so far, according 'to the last
report received here, been unavailing. Of
ficials think that, with the aid of tugs,
the ship will be floated at high tide.
No one Is able to place the responsibility
for the stranding of the battleship. There
waa no fog or storm on the bay this
morning, and officials are unable to ac
count for the accident. She attempted to
enter the York River Bay before day
break and was out of the channel. In
the event of the successful floating, the
ship will be brought here to determine the
amount of damage sustained.

having the Indian appropriation bill in
charge was astonished and amused today
to receive a massive letter from Indian
Commissioner Leupp, making suggestions
as to what should be done with the varir

though many of his suggestions would
have been carried out any way.

I Neglected Catarrh Becomes
I Chronic
THERE are some things which ar
as sure as fate,, and can bo relied
on to occur to at least one-half of
the human family unless means are
taken to prevent.
First, colds not promptly cured are
sure to cause catarrh.
Second, catarrh improperly treated t
sure to make life short and miserable.
The Destructive Power of Catarrh.
Catarrh spares no organ or function
of the body.
It is capable of destroying sight,
taste, smell, hearing, digestion, secre
tion, assimilation and excretion.
Iz pervades every part of the human
body, head, throat, stomach, bowels,
bronchial tubes, lungs, liver, kidneys.
Madder and other pelvic organs.
Curative Power of Pe-ru-na.
There is probably no fact in popular
medical science better established than
thai a teaspoonful of Peruna before
each meal will surely lessen the danger
of catching cold.
Now, sinco this is true, and experi
ence bears It out most forcefully, thou
sands of live would be saved, and
ten& of thousands of cases of chronic
catarrh prevented by this simple pre
caution within the reach of everyone.
Peruna is not simply a palliative to
relievo some of the distressing symp
toms. It brings permanent relief.

"I thought I would be doing but Jus

"Two years ago the doctor called at
our house on an average of three times
a week in attendance upon my wife
who was suffering from acute indiges
tion. "While on a visit to some friends she
had an attack and I prepared to go for
the doctor when our friend proposed
Peruna.
"I gave her a dose, repeating it in a
half hour and her pains passed away.
Since that time my wife has gained S3
pounds.
"We are never out of Peruna. When
the children or I have a cold we take
some of mamma's Peruna.

"For a number of years requests have
come to me from a multitude of grate
ful friends, urging that Peruna be given,
a slight laxative quality. I have been
experimenting with a laxative addition
for quite a length of time, and now feel
gratified to announce to the friends of
Peruna tha.t I have incorporated such
a quality in the medicine which. In my
opinion, can only enhance its well
known beneficial character.
