CHICAGO, Nov. 9.—Congressman Frank Lawlor, Democrat, is re-elected in the Second Illinois District. The official canvass was completed last evening. He has just six voteb more than hia opponent, Gleason, United Labor candidate.
Election Marvels.
The state returns show some curious results of the election. Six counties, for instance—Knox, Allen, Jackson, St. Joe, Sullivan and Yanderburg—gave 3,900 Republican gain. Still more curious are the returns from the counties where the Democratic state candidates reside. All of these, except two, gave Republican gains aggregating 3,000. Only Sweeney's and Miers' counties gave Democratic gains, and these were only 58 and 55, respectively.
IN OPERATION.
The First Week of the Oleomargarine Law. NEW YOBK, Nov. 9—A Washinongt special to the Evening Post says: "The oleomargarine law has been in operation one week. The results thus far are a surprise to the officials of the government and will be a disappointment to the butter men, who were the original promoters of the bill. The Internal Revenue officials are surprised at the large amount of revenue which the government is likely to receive from the law. The complete returns will not be reoeived in the ordinary course of business for the first of the month, until early in December, but according to the receipts of which the Internal Revenue Bureau has knowledge the income to the government from the tax on oleomargarine for the full fiscal year will not be less than $1,000,000 and is most likely to amount to $1,500,000. The collectors from all parts of the country are very clamorous for more assistance and especially the Collectors at Chicago and at Pittsburg. The Collector in the latter city estimates that he will collect $25,000 of oleomargarine tax in this distriot alone. The Collector at Chicago will probably collect the bulk of the large sum which the government is now certain to receive from this source. Ween Collector Stone was here recently, he was able to secure oniy two additional Deputy Collectors to assist in the enforcement of this law, but the Internal Revenue Bureau will, in a few days, have 20 more experts at its disposal, who will be assigned to the Collection distsicts, where their services will be most needed."

MM PACKERS.
The First and Second Regiments Ordered Oat At Chicago To
At that time some of the men, notably those in Armour & Go's house, seemed to doubt the authenticity of the order and seemed to be disposed to refuse to obey it, but the appearance of several well known committeemen allayed all doubts on the subject and left the doubters no alternative but to obey or renounce their allegiance to the Knights of Labor.
Some of the men seemed to be dissatisfied at being called out and some openly expressed their sentiments on the subject, but the great majority accepted the sitnatiou and went home without a murmur. The committee which issued the order was by no means a unit on the subject. As to the position of the packers reports differ. Swift & Co. and Nelson Morris have a number of imported men in Jtheir houses and have made provision to feed and lodge them. Early this morning a number of men arrived from Boston and were taken to Swift's house, where there are now about 500 new men. Nelson Morris has about 400 and expects to have a number more today. Swift & Co. have advertised in the Chicago papers for more men,and have also inserted notices to the same effect in the eastern papers and those of Milwaukee, St. Louis and Kansas City. On the other hand, Mr. Michael Cudahy, who is the manager of Armour & Co.'s houses, said to Mr. J. G. Hately: "Well, I'm ready to shut down for thirty or sixty days and give these fellows all they want.' "So am I," said Mr. Hately, and the two head, men of the packers committee separated, each to go to his own house.
One of the smaller packers said that everything indicated that the pork houses would shut down for an indefinite period, while the beef houses would be run with imported men. The butchers have inserted notices in the papers of all the large cities, warning all workingmen to keep away from the stock yards.

Protect the Stock Yards.
The Strikers Take the Dinner Pails Away From Workmen Who Try To Enter the Yards, 1
CHICAGO, Nov. 8—The members of the First and Seoond regiments,Illinois National Guard assembled at their armory this morning at seven o'clock in obedience to orders from Gov. Oglesby, transmitted through General Fitz Simmons, commander of the first brigade. Perfect quiet reigned in the yards this morning. The tracks in the vioinity of the packing houses are being patrolled by the Deputy Sheriffs, who kept the small crowds which congregated in the corners moving. Around the outskirts of the yards, the scene was different. Gangs of strikers stood at the entrances. and the men with their dinner pails in their hands were deprived of their pails, and in a number of iDstances were severely thrashed. There seemed to be determined effort on the part of the strikers to prevent any men from applying for the positions whioh the former have left. On the other hand, the employers seemed determined not to re-engage any of the strikers. Captain Mackey, of the town of Lake police, assured men who applied every minute at the Town Hall, that they would be protected. Today marks the commencement of the greatest strike ever inaugurated in packingtown. At 7 o'clock this morning, there were nearly 12,000 less men at work than at the same time a week ago. Men that did report for duty were almost without exception those that have been imported by the beef packers to take the places of the 3,000 men who struck last week. So far the status of the strike is somewhat indefinite, the only thing absolutely certain being that the men who were ordered out on Saturday unanimously obeyed the order and left their work just in the condition in which it was when the committee appeared among them and read to them the instructions of the committee of the Butchers Assembly of Knights of Labor.
At 10 o'clock this morning the First and Second Regiment marched from their armory to the Lake Shore station and from there they will at once be transported to the stock yards. There has been no serious disturbance at the yards yet, but the assaults on the nonIk
union men are growing more frequent. As the morning progressed the crowds surrounding the entrances to the yards increased. The strikers became more obstinate and the deputy sheriffs found greater difficulty in dispersing them. Armour & Co. had about one hundred and fifty of their old men who refused to stop, at work killing hogs, but this was the only hog "house in the yards running.
Knight of Labor Barry said he had not as yet been able to get at all the facts in regard to the strike and did not know what action he would take. He proposed, however, to have a talk with the packers during the day, and hoped to soon bring about an amicable settlement of the trouble.
About 9 o'clock the crowd at the yards got more turbulent and assaults on non-union men became more frequent. One man who was on his way to Fowler's packing house was intercepted while walking over a viaduct which leads to the house. Three or four men picked him up and threw him over on to the ground below, a distance of over 30 feet. He was very badly injured.

CHARLESTON, W. Va., Nov. 8.—The latest returns received here today indicate Carr's (Fusionist) election as State Senator from this, the Ninth, senatorial district by a majority of 105. Snyder (Dem.) is re-elected to Congress from the Third congressional district
Gossip About Blaine.
NEW YOBK, Nov. 8—JamesG. Blaine spent this morning in Wall street attending to several business ventures in which he is interested. He dined with his nephew this afternoon. Mr. Blaine's nephew, in talking about his uncle, said: "It has been said that Mr. Blaine is here for politioal purposes. I know that he is not, and that he came here to look after some of his investments. He has not expressed any opinion about the last election in this city. I heard him say the other day, most positively, that he was out of politics, and that he was not seeking a nomination for the presidency by the Republicans in 1888."
A Washington special says: The Portland Evening Express publishes an interview with Congressman Dingley. He has this to say of Mr. Blaine and the presidential nomination of 1888: "Who will be the Republican candidate for the presidency? It is too early to say. It is evident that Mr. Blaine can have the nomination if he wants it. I know that many people think that he not only wants it, but is working for it. Such persons ought to see that there is no neoessity of Mr. Blaine's working for the tion. His nomination come by acclamation should signify his desire for however it may have been in 1880,1 am confident, and I think I have the means of knowing, that Blaine would not now lift his finger for the nomination, and would not even accept it unless there should be a general feeling that it is best for the party and its principles. He wants the Republican party to succeed in 1888, and if there is any man stronger than he is he wants that man nominated, and he will do his best for victory whoever the nominee may be."

DONOVAN'S JUMP.
He Successfully Jumps From the
Niagara Bridge.*
NIAGABA FAIIIIS, N. Y., NOV. 7 rence Donovan, of New York, who recently jumped from the Brooklyn bridge in^o the East river, jumped from the new suspension brMge, a little past the center, at five minutes before seven this morning. He came from Buffalo last night and stayed at the suspension bridge. His jump was witnessod by four or five persons. He was accompanied by Professor Haley and Mr Drew, a reporter of Buffalo. He made the jump successfully—a distance of 190 feet. He went straight down, feet foremost. He came up somewhat dazed, but struck out for the boat, in which were Messrs. Drew aid Haley, wa taken in and stimulants were given him He is not seriously injured. One rib is probably broken and his hip is bruised. He said before be got out of the water that he would not jump again $1,000,000. Afterward he said he would jump next summer for $1,000. He said he wanted to jump at Rochester and then quit the business.
Mr. Sourwine on the Result. Mr. Sourwine, one of the staunch Democrats of Clay county, was in the city today. He says, as has already been shown in the GAZETTE, that the opposition of the Hon. Charles H. Knight caused Lamb to run from 5 to 300 votes ahead of most of the other candidates on the Democratic ticket, both state and county. The opposition of the Hon. Charles H. Knight is therefore seen to be something very valuable. Mr. Sourwine says the Democracy of Clay are greatly disappointed in the defeat of Lamb, but they stood by him as true as steel and point with pride to their record on the congressional question, as shown by the returns.

And Now the Heirs Are Going To Contest. v.
An Important Point Raised the Courts To Decide.
Mrs. Whittlesey, the Wisconsin heir, has not put in an appearance to object or to concur in the probate, but that was of no legal consequence, as the executors hud complied with the law in that respect by publication of their intention to present the will to probate in all the newspapers that were necessary to give Mrs. Whittlesey the needful notice and comply with the legal requirements. It was desired by the legatees under this will that the courts should construe that part of it which bequeathed an immense fortune to the executoro to be known as the Tilden trust. The allegation on the part of the contestants was that this plenary provision could be set aside on the ground— speaking in general terms—that while a testator may make specifio bequests in any direction that may suit him, he cannot vest in executors such discretionary powers as oan be exercised Law ©zeroised properly on by himself. That,
For
Tilden's Will to be Contested, NEW YOBK, NOV. 9.—An appearance was entered yesterday by Carter ahd Ledyard, the lawyers for the executors under the Tilden will, and the first step was taken in what will probably be a long contest as to its provisions. Mr. Delos McCurdy has the case of the contestants in charge. The question that would be submitted to the courts, he said, was one entirely of a legal character. There was no contention on the .part of any of the contestants that Mr. Tilden, when he drew his will, was of unsound mind or indisposed in any legal way from making a disposition of his property. The will had been admitted to probate with all the necessary legal concurrence of sll the legatees.
Mr. McCurdy said, would be found to be the ground for the coming rontest. Should the view of the contestants be sustained, then the money bequeathed in the, manner described could not be used by the trustees and must be awarded to the heirs.
It was ascertained by the reporter from other sources that the amount involved in this contest had been very much understated and that instead of being $5,000,000 it is more likely to be $15,000,000. Public interest in this contest will be greatly excited, inasmuch as it will, in all proability, very seriously affect the disposition of large properties under the Lenox and Stewart wills, because it will establish a precedent for a contest by the heirs should the oourt take the view that the Tilden legatees have taken.
That Lost Mail Pouch.
PITTSBURG, Nov. 9.—The United States postal authorities have about abandoned the search for the registered mail pouch that was stolen, last summer, between New York, Pittsburg and Indianapolis. Several clews have been followed for weeks, but none resulted in the apprehension of the thiaves or the the recovery of the stolen property. All of the parties who have packages in the pouch have not been heard from yet, but it is said that, thus far, the value of the known contents aggregated $100,000.
Blaine.
NEW YORK, NOV. 9—James G. Blaine left the city today for Boston where he will remain until Thursday when he will start for his home. Before he left his hotel, he had a conference with Chauncey M. Depew. "Suppressing" the Vote.
Two years ago the Republican opponent of Mr. Randall received 9,033 votes while at the last election only 153 Republican votes were cast in the same district. If this is not suppression of votes, what is it? Down with the Pennsylvania bulldozers!
P. J. Kaufman voted Tuesday and yet he neither voted for the Republicans, Democrats, Nationals or Prohibitionists. This is the way it happened: Pete, who is about as busy a man as you will find, rushed down to the polls and voted what he thought was the ticket which he had carefully stowed away in his vest pocket. It proved to be a receipted bill for cabbage. A man in Linton township voted legislature elected Tuesday in Arkansas his tax receipt in the same manner.<p></p>Rush
