SEEK SEItA ICE IN SAVT,

Many Yonng: Men Enlist In Chicago Itecrnltlnff Office. Indicative of the probable increase In enlistments in Chicago for the United States navy when tho naval training station is located 'at Lake Bluff is the number of young men at present pouring into the naval recruiting office in that city. Not since the first years after the bpanlsh -American war, when the re cruiting office in Chicago was made a permanent station, has there been such an interest in the navy. Chicago boys and youths from town3 and villages nearby have come to appreciate the advantages for young men on Uncle Sam's warships and are giving up Wk in shops and offices for a life on the briny deep. Forty boys have just been accepted into the service in one week by Lieut. D. W. Blamer, ir diargo of the local office. This is the largest enlist ment for a single week in the history of the Chicago office. Already in a few days jnore than ten months of this year there have been almost COO enlistments, against a total of 45)0 for the entire twelve months of last year. In 1903 there were 573 boys and young men ac cepted. Lieut. Blamer expects that mark . will be raised to more than G50 before the 1st of January. When it is considered that only about 13 per cent of the applicants are accepted, the others being rejected for physical incapacity, the number of those who want to fight for Uncle Sam on the sea can be es timated. Lieut. Blamer says this condition is not peculiar to Chicago although the city ranks with Boston and New York as a recruiting place but that the increased interest in the navy is common all over the country. Indeed, such has been the growing interest in the West that the government has established permanent recruiting stations in Oma ha, Kansas City, Minneapolis, St. Louis and other western cities. Formerly Chicago was the only station between the Atlantic coast and San Francisco. VtsAS FOR DEFENSE OF CHICAGO War ' Department Considers Scheme to Fortlfr Lake Ports. Plans are under consideration at the War Department for fortifying Chicago and other ports on the great lakes and St. Lawrence river. A system of forti fications developed bv' Major John T. Johnson, at one time stationed at Chi cago, is being considered. At present Canada has large commercial projects under development. A canal from Ottawa river to Lake Ontario and another from Hamilton on Lake Ontario to Lake Huron, now under contemplation, will when completed give Canada an outlet to the sea through Dominion territory. While these canals are proposed as aids to commerce, they will be of sufficient depth to accommodate gunboats. The necessity for fortifying Chicago and other lake cities, to protect them from attack by water, is recognized by War Department officials, and it is almost certain that the scheme of defense under consideration will be perfected and the fortifications constructed. RA1X FOILS DYNAMITE PLOT. Brother of Murdered Sheriff Saved by- Water-Soaked Fnse. A train if rn ln-crml-n.l fnso lendinc through his yard and a box of dynamite things Jarvis Shellenbarger, brother of the late Sheriff Shellenbarger, murdered last June, found while raking leaves at his home in Mount Vernon.

Details of Russian Atrocities. Details of the recent outbreak in Rus sia only add to its horrors. It id shown that only a few towns in the empire escaped during the reign of terror. In Tomsk, Siberia, COO persons were burned to death in a theater, and the "Black Hundred" and the police in Moscow butchered parading school children. Senator Smoot Overthrown. Senator Reed Smoot's political for tunes are believed to have received a death blow in 'the Salt Lake City elec tion, which resulted in victory for the Gentile (American) ticket. The Gentile victory is attributed solely to Smoot's activity in the campaign. Probable Democratic . Issues. Government ownership of railways and telegraphs, municipal control of public utilities and a general opposition to corporation rule are expected to be the Democratic issues in 1008, as a re sult of the election. ' Goes a Child j Returns a Man. Gwirire Woolston, who disDDeared twenty years ago, when but 3 years old. suddenly reappeared at ms rathers Vionn in Bellefourche. 5.

Lient Burbank was charged with unbecoming conduct toward Concepclon Vas-c-ez. the Philippine woman declared by t.e Philippine courts to be his legal wife. SISTERS PERISH FROM FIRE. Girls Suffocated in Room at Lovrcll, Ind. Locked in a room of a burning building, two sisters were asphyxiated by gas and smoke at Lowell, Ind. Their screams attracted attention to their predicament. When two men fought the?r way up the blazing stairway and burst open the door of the room in which hey were imprisoned, the young dornen were found insensible on the floor. They were carried out by heroic efforts and doctor worked for hours in an attempt to re suscitate them. They died without re gaining consciousness. The dead were Mabel Simpson, 20 years old, night operator of the Northwestern Indiana Telephone Company; Abbie Simpson, her sister, 22 years old. The building in which the fire started was two stories high, of brick. The front of it wused as the telephone office. The rear of the upper floor was occupied by Mrs. John Smith, a widow. The lower floor was occupied by Hunt's drug store. Miss Abbie Simpson had come to visit her sister at the telephone office. The two girls, alone in the office at night, locked the door to protect themselves from possible intruders. The building was destroyed. The fire is thought to have originated in Mrs. Smith's flat and to have been caused by mice gnawing at a box of matches. Mrs. Smith was away from home. SEWING MACHINE COMBINE.

Absorption of Wheeler A. Wilson by Simper Corporation. By the absorption of the Wheeler and Wilson Sewing Machine Company, the Singer Machine Company has removed its principal competitor from the field. .The effect will be to form a trust of large proportions. The fear of an advance in prices is not based on any statement that can be secur.e'd from the general officers of the company. All the Wheeler & Wilson plants and several hundred agencies in various parts of the United States are acquired by the Sin ger company. It is said the deal involv ed several million dollars. The transaction is a merger for the purpose of dis posing of the manufactured product of the Wheeler & Wilson Company," was the way Marshall M. Tatro, general agent of the Singer company, explained it. "It is the intention to keep tho plants separate. The Wheeler & Wilson machines will continue on the market." The principal plants of the Singer com pany are at Elizabeth, X. J., and South Bend, Ind., and each of them covers around forty-five acres. There are other plants at St. Johns, Canada; Cairo, III., and several in England. The output amounts to several million machines a year. TREASURY HAD MONEY TO BURN It Was Counterfeit. However, and Amounted to Sum of $304,000. Counterfeit bank notes in the sum of $203,000, "queer" coins to the amount of $49,000 and $50.000 worth of dies, plates, rolls, type, hubs, stamps collars, milling machines and other machinery and appliances for making counterfeit money were destroyed in Washington Thursday by order of the Treasury De partment. The notes were burned in the special furnaces for thst purpose at the Treasury Department and the coin and appliances were destroyed at a local foundry. According to the secret ser vice division officer who was in charge of the destruction, the $49,000 of "queer' coin represents the largest amount of counterfeit coin ever destroyed by the government at one time. si. vv HAVE 3IURDBRED XIXE.

ELECTION RESULTS

McClellin and Jerome Win Bit ter Fight in New York. HEABST TO CONTEST. Wholesale Fraud Is Charged and Courts May Have to Decide. Biff Victory for the Reformers in Philadelphia Republicans Also Lose the State by n Large MajorityRoosevelt's Plurality of 504,000 Is Overturned by Fusionists Democratic Landslide in Ohio. In New York McClellan was re-elect ed Mayor by a plurality of 3,000 over Hearst. Jerome defeats Osborne for District Attorney by about 11377. The Good Government icket was elected in Philadelphia by 50,000. The great reform wave carries in Democratic State Treasurer. John M. Pattison, Democrat, will be the next Governor of Ohio, and his party associates on the State ticket have also been elected. The Democrats carried Cincinnati, and Tom Johnson was re-elected Mayor of Cleveland. The entire Republican ticket was elected in Massachusetts, Guild by 33,000 and Draper by 2,000. Gov. Utter, Republican, was re-elect ed in Rhode Island by a slightly increased plurality over Dr. Garvin. Virginia is Democratic by a reduced majority. In New Jersey the Republicans were successful in the main. Bookwalter, Republican, was elected Mayor of Indianapolis. Louisville went Democratic. Schmitz, the Union Labor Mayor of San Francisco, was re-elected. Bridgeport and Ansonia, in Connec ticut, defeated their Democratic admin istrations. The disfranchising amendment in Maryland was defeated. The States are gradually abolishing the "off-year" elections, regarding them as so much waste of energy and money. As a rule the people are apathetic in such elections and the vote is small. This year, however, was a striking exception. The State and local campaigns just ended aroused the keenest interest, chiefly on account of the prominence of the Issue of good government versus corrupt boss rule. It is a remarkabfe fact that directly or indirectly every local election turned on the question of graft, while ihe State elections involved issues that afforded unusual sccpe to the exercise of independence. Governors were elected in Massachu setts, Rhode Island, Ohio, Virginia and Georgia. Some States elected new Legislatures. Maryland voted on the Gorman constitutional amendment de;ned to disfranchise colored men, but which was so drawn as to threaten tens of thousands of white citizens. The notable county and municipal con tests were those of New York, Phil adelphia, Cincinnati, Cleveland and San Francisco. Interest was almost wholly centered in the struggles made in the munici palities. There party lines were not closely drawn, but graft, bossis-m, mu nicipal ownership and other kindred issues which have absolutely no rela tionship to national party platforms were put to the test. The principal fight, which attracted more attention throughout the country than any sim ilar contest in this generation and which almost approaehed a presidential election in interest, was that of Jerome In New York, with the Ilearst effort to get into the mayoralty upon a semi-Socialist platform scarcely sec ond. In Massachusetts the leading issue has been tariff revision, though "corporation influence" in legislation has been a prominent charge bandied by the candidates. In Rhode Island constitutional re form, and popular versus corporate rule wej"o the issues. The Democratic can didate for Governor was Dr. Garvin, former Governor, and the Republican nominee was Governor Utter, who favored conservative organic changes. In Ohio Governor Uerrick was op posed by John M. Pattison, and each appealed to the independent voter. Boss Cox of Cincinnati has been an Issue in the campaign, but Taft and other Influential Republicans advised scratching. - That the Republicans would poll a much smaller vote than usual In Ohio had been known for several weeks, but the extent of the decrease is a sur prise that will keep the politicians busy explaining for some time to come. Last year Ohio gave Roosevelt a plu rality of 2oo,000. Its plurality for Mc Kinley In 1900 was about 70,000 and for Uerrick two years ago 114,000. This year this stronghold of Republican Ism was first placed In the uoubtfui column on the strength of early returns. The Democrats, however, won Tattison's .election by a good plurality. Tom Johnson has been re-elected in Cleveland, and in Cincinnati, the homo of Boss Cor, a Democratic mayor is elected. In Georgia and Virginia corporation control has been made the issue, but the reciprocal charges have been vngue and general. In Maryland many Democrats opposed Gorman In Philadelphia the City party, reenforced by the Democratic organiza tion, fought the Durham ring and government for and by looters. In Cleveland Mayor Johnson ran for another term, and his opponent, Boyd, made charges of spoil and grart, in ban Francisco there was fusion against Mayor Schmitz, the labor candidate. Early reports indicate that the voters displayed remarkable Independence and that old-fashioned labels and pleas fell on deaf ears. The Results. Philadelphia. The local fight In Philadelphia was over county cQcers

sheriff, coroner and two county commissioners. The candidates of the new City party also appeared oa the tickets of the Democratic, Independent, Lincoln and Prohibition parties. The victory over the regular Repub'Icas (machine) ticket was complete, the majorities being about 00,000 for ?ach of the candidates. Many arrests were made for attempted fraud at the polls, and in several instances bloodshed resulted from clashes between the reform and gang forces. New Yoik George B. McClellan has been re-elected Mayor of New York by about 3,000 plurality. While Mc

Clellan swept the city, James W. Osborne was defeated by Jerome for Dist r I ct Attorney. Mayor McClellan carried the boroughs of Manhattan and the Bronx b y 1G:000, and Richmond by 3,000. Ilearst carried o. b. m'cleixan. Brooklyn Ly 13,500 and Queen's borough by 500, making McClellan's net plurality 3,000. William R. IJearst asserts he wa elected and counted out, and that 30,000 fraudulent votes were cast for the Tammany candidate. Tammany will control the City Board of Estimate, but the opposition has elected three of the borough presidents and will have three votes on the board. Jerome's plurality is between 3,000 and 4,000. Chicago Nine Republican candidates for Drainage Trustee and six aspirants for the bench were swept in by cdmfortable pluralities, and, despite close contests In three instances, the Republican sanitary-judicial ticket was elected from top to bottom. The vote was light but decisive. Fewer than 50 per cent of the total registered voters appeared at the polls. Pennsylvania Popular uprising as a result of the recent bank-graft exposures placed the powerful Republican State organization, headed by Senator Penrose, on the defensive. The Republican leaders relied on the vote of Philadelphia to pull their ticket through, but this failed them when it was needed most. The Republicans elected a justice of the Supreme Court and three justices of the Supe rior Court, the Democrats electing their lone candidate for Superior Court judge, nominated under the mi nority representation regulation. Both State tickets were indorsed miscellaneously by minor parties. Ohio John M. Tattison, Democrat. will be the next Governor of Ohio. His party associates on the State ticket have all been elected. Treciuct returns and county plurality figures received up to noon Wednesday showed this result although the exact figures v.ere not known. Cincinnati overthrew the Cox machine by electing Dempsey, Demo crat, Mayor over Gordon, Republican, the figures being 40,373 for Dempsey and 34,372 for Gordon. Maryland The Republicans elected their candidate for Comptroller, Ilenry M. McCullough, over Gordon T. Atklnson, Democrat, while the Democrats elected Chief Judge Harlan. Massachusetts The entire Repub lican State ticket was elected by pluralities averaging 30,000, with the exception of Lieutenant Governor, the plurality of Eben S. Draper, Itepublicas, over Henry M. Whitney, Demo crat, for second place being only 3.942. The Republican disaffection centered on Draper, and the radical tariff revi sionists supported Whitney. In Other States and Cities. Toledo The city Independent ticket, headed by Brand Whit?ock, was elected by 2,000. Cleveland Tom L. Jonnson again was elected Mayor over W. II. Boyd, Republican. Vircinia Claude A. Swanson was elected Governor by a plurality of 20, 000 over Judge L. L. Lewis, Republican. Nebraska The Republicans elected an associate justice of the Supreme Court and two State university regents. Indianapolis Mayor Book-waiter, Rennhlienn. was elected by 3.000. Both är r - - sides in the campaign promised enforce ment of the saloon laws. San Francisco Eugene E. Schmitz, Union Labor, was re-elected Mayor over John S. Partridge, the candidate of the Republican-Democratic fusion forces, by a majority of ll.bOO. Salt Lake City Ezra Thompson, can didate of the American or Anti-Mormon party, was elected Mayor, aeieatmg Mayor Richard P. Morris, a liberal Mormon, who sought re-election. Louisville raul C. Barth, the Democratic candidate for Mayor, received a plurality of 5,000 over the fusion ticket headed by John T. O'Neal. The fusionists made their campaign against a "wide-open" town. Kentucky The Democrats carried tha State by a majority of not less than 15,000. It was not possible on early returns to tell whether the Paynter or Blackburn forces had carried the Legislature. Rhode Islaud George II. Utter, Republican, was re-elected Governor ovtr former Gov. Garvin by 3,000 plurality and the entire Republican State tickU was successful. The Legislature will be Republican in both houses. Clarence A. Aldrich, Democrat, a brother of Senator Aldrich, was defeated for Mayor of Providence by former Gov. EUsaa Dyer. M'CLELLAN AND JEROME. Sketcnes of the Mayor and. District Attorney of New York. Mayor McClellan and District Attorcey Jerome are probably the most talked of public men to-day as a result of the election in New York. George B. McClellan. is a . son of Gen. George B. McClellan of Civil War fame and is 40 years old.

lariCAl rtuSIAIM IM AVAL, run I A mm sS StMMsaas a m a m aas REPORTED IN FLAMES. Ilntinons Soldiers and Sailors Join In Revolt, Lool the City and Compel Inhabitants to Flee Flames After Massacre. A dispatch from St. Petersburg says that the sailors of the Russian squadron at Kronstadt mutinied Wednesday night, overpowered their officers, land ed and attacked shops, public build ings and spirit stores. Troops were called out and fighting ensued, Id which machine guns were used and many persons were killed or wounded. In addition a number of houses were set on fire. The fighting lasted all night. The British embassy in St Petersburg requested General Trepoff to protect British subjects at Kron stadt Authentic accounts received at Odes sa from various points in Bessarabia show that the anti-Jewish outbreaks there followed the same lines as, at Odessa, varying only In the number o' victims. At Kishenev the disturbances were preceded by inflammatory speeches, sendarmes and city officials near the Governor's house asserting that the Jews had attempted to take the life of the local bishop and Intended to loot the treasury. The mob was thus incited to the bloody work. 0 Carrying Ikons and portraits of the Emperor, the mob proceeded to Alexandrovskaia, Pushkinskaia and Gostlnkaia streets, devastating and pillaging unhindered. Attempts at self-defense were prevented by the troops. Ninety per cent of the killed and wounded were victims of bayonets and rifle bullets. DANGEROUS SPORTS AT FAIRS. Statistics Show Lone List of Accidents for Season Just Closed. County fair accident statistics gathered by the Chicago Tribune for the season just closed point to the driving of trotting horses by amateurs as the most - common cause of injuries. The most dangerous injuries are received by aerial performers. For children attending fairs the danger is in riding on merry-go-rounds and in standing close to the running track. Taking the States of Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan and Wisconsin, the Tribune asked 450 county seats for information as to accidents to pcrtormers and spectators at county fairs and street carnivals. Fifty-five couuties reported a total of seventy persons injured, the remaining 305 counties reporting no accidents. Of the injured forty-five were performers, professionals or amateurs, and twenty-five were spectators. The Injuries range from broken ribs and legs to bruises. Of the forty-five performers injured, twenty-six were hurt by tha collision of sulkies in driving races and in being thrown from running horses. The most serious accident to a driver took place at Atlanta, 111., where Ed ward Stubblefield, president, of the Logan County Fair Association, was thrown from his seat in a collision with a sulky, and for a time was near death. "The slide for life," a feat in which the performer slides down a wire from the top of the court house dome or other high elevation, laid up three men, and "leaping the gap" and "looping the loop claimed five victims. , Fivo of six aeronauts injured have faulty parachutes or bad luck in landing to blame for their injuries, ranging from a crushed shoulder to a sprained ankle. One woman dressed in red tights landed near a bull, and another fell into a tret top. The crush of vehicles at the gates to fair inclosures and the frightening of farmers horses by the noise and unusual sights at the grounds were responsible for the overturning of buggies and wag ons and the resulting injury of six per sons. The following table tells the nature of the work in which performers were en gaged when injured: Number injured.
