There was saaoh issw deooratioa and iUamina- uonr but aa aiegant display of fireworks. The oampaJgu has been a great political educator, something needed here -and never before had to any extent. Thnra day night's illumination of the residences of liberals mads the sky light up with a glare. Probably two thousand hoasee were lighted and decorated. A ligct snow fell last night placing the streets in a very disagreeable condition to-day, though the sua inow shining brightly.

Basinets in many parts of tha city is suspended. Up to 10 this morning a very heavy vote had been polled, especially by the Mormons, and the returns up to that hour from sixteen precincts in four wards give total vote of 2,111, of which the Gentiles c-abt 965 and tha Mormons 1,146. Thus far only two arrest i for an attempt at illegal VOtinar heve been made, nne tain? rf a Mormon and one of a Gentile. Every thing is quiet and no eerious trouble is anticipated. At 12 o'clock, on the returns received at liberal headquarters from twenty-two wards, the Gentiles claim they will carrv the citv bv 1.400.

It i Mdimatwl that the Mormons have polled 87 per cent, cf their strength, and the Gentiles 50 per cent, of theirs. Yerltable Cliff Dweller. Chicaoo, Feb. 10. Lieutenant Frederick Bchwatk ar ivei ia Chicago Sat urday in charge of strange a col lection of human beings es civilized eyes ever gsxi upon.

It numbered just eleven souls, and they were aH Tarahu-mari Indians, natives of the Sieira Mdre mountains of Mexico. They ell belong to aa ancient race tbe cave and cliif dwellers which until recently wss believed to be long extinct and are the iirct of tbat extraordinary species cf humanity that have ever been seen outside their native wilds. The band oonsisted of five men, three women, two boys and a little baby a year old. Although the mercury was down to zero and an icy wind swept the 8oow-enveloptd street, these strange- looking beings wore no neavier clotmnz tnao a piece of sacking thrown over their shoulders with a note ia tbe center through which their heads protruded, Btrips of deer-skin tied by thongs under the soles of their e3t, but they marched up Dearborn street as leisurely es if it was 100 in the shade. Their copper -colored faces wore looks of mingled fear and astonishment ss they gazed around them at the huge buildings that tjwered above them oa every side, lofty almoet as their native mountains, while the vehicles and the thousand and one stranire sights they witnessed on tbe street uaused them every now and to start and exohange glances, some times of horror and sometimes of terror.

Lieutenant Schwatka conducted them at once to the Owings building, where he had rooms prepared for their recep tion. At tbe first upward bound of the ele vator car the Indians squatted on the floor, uttering little pi ants cf fear, but when it stopped suddenly at the top floor, causing that "ail gone" sensation with which even civirzea people are acquainted, the savages buret into howls of terror, and doubtless thought their days were numbered. After some little persuasion they were induced to step out and into their temporary dwelling place. The leader, a light, sinewy, good-looking fellow, who, in addition to his blanket, wore a red bandana handkerchief arouni his head, uttered a grunt of satisfaction and flinging his bundle on the ground, squatted down upon it wearily. The others followed ms example, and Lieut.

Schwatka provided them with a reuant. Among other things, they nave been taught since their capture to eat off tin pUttrs and drink from tin caps, and so they were soon busily eegsged ia stowing away the good things provided for them. The women, who are undersized, but pleasant featured, washed up their breakfast things in a stationary wash-stand, and then the mother cf the little papoose ducked his little black head in the water, whereat the papoose set up a lusty howling, precisely as white papooses do under similar circumstances. When the little fellow had satisfied his hunger mother and child rolled around the fioor in merry gamboling, while the savage father lac bed and joined in the fan. Caudelario, ths runner, sat ia a corner half asleep, occasionally exchanging a word with one of the boys who eat near him; the others chattered and conversed with each other in comers of ths room.

One fellow wss the proud poe-eessor of a Prince Albert coat, but ss his nether extremities were dad only ia nature's raiment the combination wss ludicrous andhe formed occasion for plerty of fun to his comrade. During the morning there was a stream of visitors to the top floor of the Owings buQi-inr, quite a number of ladies, all of whom went into raptures over the nirJcaninnv. The ladies, however were obliged to leave suddenly owing to the fact taat tea xaranuman warriors nan heoomis unnleasantl warm ia the steam- heated room, and proceeded to lay aside bianktta with as much sang froid as though they were going to bed la their native cavs. These blankets, by the r. are curious pieces cf workmanship, being made of goats hair woven by the cattvrs themselves.

An amicable settlement with Portugal coo-cmita: the disputed territory ia outb-fRutfrn Africa is to be scon effected. But what more immediately i interests Americana is the terms in which the address alludes to the Samoan treaty as the oatoome of the mutual good will of the three governments oonoernei in it, and es therefore establishing a condition of lasting peace and common welfare! in that part cf the world.

It speaks ct the extradition treaty with the United States ss ending the pending difU-culties and making a basis of fa tore ao-tioa by the two nations; which stall free from the annoying misunderstand) ings cf the past. The speech expresses the hope that other questions which are till under consideration between the United States and Great Britain will be speedily arranged to the gratiiioittion lot both powers. i It is beyond all truthful question jo dispute that Mr. Uarrison's administxai tioa has thus early been 1 eminently suo-easeful ia the settlement of complicated and long-standing controversies with foreign powers which had too heavily taxed the diplomatic ingenuity of pro-oeding administrations especially cf its immediate predecessor. The opposition press has undertaken to belittle these grand accomplishments, jto assert that the United Btatea had been overreached by foreign powers, and thtt the new administration had yet accomplished If it had dose nothing more than to perfect these two beneficent treaties, it would still be entitled to the lasting gratitude cf the American people and would taka high rank! in the annals of our governmental policy.

How the extradition treaty, as compared with Mr. Bayard's attempted treaty, ia viewed by unprejudiced observers in fact by an observer prejudiced against the present administration is shown by the following extract Tha New York Herald, which dii some valiant work for Mr. Cleveland, tie-fore and during his presidency: i The American people prefer Lbs Blaiwv I.tneoiu treat, because tt is deflxuU pecillc, and return to surrender per on. who iuat waqt M' for political oOmuw. It an excellent Melon treat jr, ud in tte Amerien rplrit.

It was such a treaty no Britbh miu-Uu-r would bare dart-d to conclude with the third Napoleon, acd aa no fire aed eir-renpectlxff; frnmeatt woul4 connent to. With still greater justice to the present administration might The Herald oompare the Samoan treaty negotiate! under the auspices of Mr. Blaine with tht undertaken by Mr.

Bayard, but which so ingloriouly miscarried. But ia its domestic a well cs In its foreign policy, the Cleveland administration wis a disastrous failure. The Janeevilie Gazette, in advocacy cf some such act at the so-called Bennett law, in order that American cititecs of foreign birth mey be enabled to avail themselves cf the privileges of full American oitfzenahip, notices the case cf a wit net who was subpoenaed before the Jefferson county circuit court to give testimony in an action therein at issue. The witness wsa 23 years of age and was born within four miles of Jefferson; but he wrs so ignorant of the Englbh lacguago that the officers of the court had to employ ai interpreter in order that the court and jury might understand the substance of his This is ac at alt a strange cr an isolated case. 8uch cases are cf every day oo-currence before the courts throughout the state and have been ever since courts were organized acd held their jurisdicj-tion here.

They are not conflnfed to localities where the foreign element predotainates, as in this instance, are of common occurrence where the inhabitants are largely of English or American origin. Clerks of court, circuit si well as municipal, are frequently called upon first to administer an oath to an interpreter and through him to the witness, and then, sentence by sentence, the testimony of the winners has to be rendered into English, so that tha jury can understand it. It cai le readily seen how easy it would be oaths jury to misunderstand or misconstrue such second-hand evidence. It is an undue hindrance, is embarrassing alike to the court, to the jury, to the witness and to his i interpreter, besides adding largely to the uncertainty jf tbe evidence and greatly enhancing the costs of the suit, i But this even is only one of the lesser evils to the community at large, which the I Bennett law ia designed to meet and overcome. It is a wise and benefioect act, and it finds f-ponenrs chietiy in the ranks of narrow? sectarians who aiiect to believe cr hate been falsely taught that it it a blow at parochial school, and among a few ei-signin partisans, intent upon securing some political advantage by appealing to the prejudiceai of foreign-bora! citij-sens.

The true friends of such citizer are thoeo who would confer upon! i them every right and prerogative enjoyed by the native born. And in this ths Bennett law is a powerful assistant. 1 It is ia the interest of universal educatioi and for the advancement cf Amenoaa civilization. Mkjhakjl.

William Wal ter Phelps, wife of the American minister, wss presented Saturday to Dowager kmpresa rrederick at her palace in this city. i i The National Zoo. Washington JLaue to Ths Kontoo. Transcript Within a few weeks now, by the time the warm weather has fairly begun, the site chosen for the projected National Zoological park i will be actually occu pied by the government. It com prist 1C5 acres in tbe beautiful Kock creek valley, on the outskirts of the capital, a location, the like of which, for such a purpose, could FcarceJy be found elsewhere on tbis continent.

Here is to be established as quickly as possible a garden of animals such as the world has never seen I bitberto. To begin with, it will be several times as bier as any res ervation of the kind known up to date 1 so large, raci, tnai me oeasrs ex molted will many of them roam about through the field snd forest very much as in a state of nature. Herds of buffs lo, elk, moose, antelope, mountain sheep and caribou will browse about in vsst incloeures, left undisturbed to enjoy life aa pleases them best, nares, pheasants with their wings clipped wud turkeys, and some cf the deer will wander loose in the park, and animals that must needs be confined in cages will have their prisons as large as possible, and in the open air whenever practicable. Every tropical creature that has to be kept under cover on i account of the severity of the climate will also have an outdoor place to run in. Wind ing in a serpentine course through the park is the picturesque Kock creek, which will be dammed at intervals so as to make a series of great ponds for habitation by sea lions, walruses, seals, pea cows and other strange dwellers in the water.

Beavers I will build their homes along the running stream, and others will disport themselves merrily, while aquatic birds of long legs snd weird aspect wade i along the banks. Other feathered curiosities from all parts of the world will be on view in gigantic cages among the trees. In short, it will be sought to imitate natural conditions as nearly as possible. You will be able, if you visit the1 garden, to walk four-fifths of a mile in a straight liae from tha south end to its limits on tha north, through woods and meadows, or, following the creek, you will have a stroll of nearly a mile and a half, up hill and down dale, passing in review as you go, in the water and on land, beasts and birds fathered in every country of the earth. And the promenade should not be rendered lees; agreeable and interest ing by your knowledge or the fact tbat this park and all tbe creatures in it belong si much to yourself individually as to anybody eue.

or it is to oe purely and simply a public and national institu tion a playground for tbe people of the united States, to wbicn no aamission fee even is charged. Congress, at its last session, appropriated 1200,000 to buy the land for the nark. After much negotiation 131 acres of the tract have been purchased from the former owners for floe00j. The remaining thirty-five and one-half acres will be condemned by the govern ment, appraised by arbitration, paid for. and grubbed.

By March or April the fencinir in of tbe garden will be begun. and the work of getting into shape will be prosecuted with rapidity. It ia half a mile wide at its greatest width, but is of very irrearular shape. Steps will be taken at onoa to obtain another appropriation from the national legislature for the erection of buildings, the construction of roads, walks, yards, inclosures. bridges, and ponds, and for the general putting into condition of tbe park.

No money will be asked for the purchase of animals; the; government is not looked for to supply those. unawe to ootaia. ia prue. lbese peof pie are axxeawi4ty and timid and this fact increased the difiiculty of capturing them. We had to work firs through Mexicaa half -breeds then through Indian tribes dwelling near the mountains, where these people reside, and finally we go at tbe Tarahnmarj themselves.

They hate the Mexicans, and have mortal dread of white men. The first band 1 secured stampeded on catching eight of a railroad train, and the second band ran when they saw the electric lights near Fd Paso. The word' Tarahumari means runner, and let ma tail you it is bo misnomer. The are the createet runners in the world, I had sixteen in the band when I first started, bet they all got away but these. Among these was the prize runt ner of Tarahumari county.

He stampeded near FJL Psao, and so fleet was he that we could net run him down with horses. There are about 110,000 of these In! dians, some of whom have been civilized by the Jesaks. but the greater part of them are utterly savage. They are sun and are strictly vfrtvoua and quite happy and pleasant in the it relations with each other. The Mexican governor CamiUo laughed at me when I asked his permisMaa to capture some of tham.

Toa are weioome to all of them you can get to go with he said; but I have seen hundreds try that before and I got there all the same, yott see," said Mr. Schwatka with a pleasant mile. i lieutenant Schwatka intends toTnaks a tour of tha country lecturing on pre! historic races, ana win use his Mexicans to Illustrate his lectures.

The interior is only partially completed, and rough planks and staging take the place, cf stairways, Oa this account some danger was connected with the tour of inspection, but Mrs. Cleveland led the way, and skipped across the rafters and over planks with surprising agility. In the south-east corner of the building is a large room, made as nearly as possible to correspond hot 'position and finish, to the room occupied by Mrs.

Cleveland in the old building. The number will be the same, and this room will be at her disposal whenever she visits the college. The college tower was the bet place visited. Some of the ladies demurred at this venture, but Mrs. Cleveland settled the matter by starting up the narrow planks that lead to the tower.

"You are the first woman that ever entered this tower," said the guide to her, a she rrached the top. Cleveland smiled at the distinction and waved ber handkerchief. A concert was held at the hotel in the evening. After the concert a formal reception was given. At 12 o'clock Mrs.
