IOWA DEMOCRATS.

Several Candidates For Governor
Will BE Before the Convention.
DEs MONIES, Ia. Aug. 23.-Ths
Democrats are assem- bling for the state
convention. Lieutenant Governor
Bestow has practically the support Of
Southern Iowa for governor, but is OPP
posed by the old time leaders. Ex-
treme Southeastern Iowa is in favor of
Craig of Keokuk. and the extreme
northwestern favor Larimer, who is a
new man in state politics. Among the
new men mentioned are w. T. Bu-
chanan. connected with the agricul-
tural department of the state fair.
Free silver men favor Fred White, ex-
congressman, while anti-monopoly
leaders favor Beetow. These factions
will probably unite. Very probably a
resolution endorsing Governor Boies as
the choice of the party for senator will
be passed, but further than that it is
not believed Governor Boies will come
before the convention.

treasury of the United States, or at the
offices of any assistant treasurer OF the
United States, and receive therefor
their face value in treasury notes of
the United States, as described in the
act of July IA, $780, Such bonds may
be held as special deposit to the credit
of the party depositing them, and dur
ing the time they are SO held shall draw
no interest and shall be returned on the
order of the party depositing them, on
the payment of their face value In

The other sections authorize the sec-
retary OF the treasury to make such
regulations as are necessary to carry
the foregoing into effect and repeal all
laws inconsistent with the provisions
of the first section.

That He Would Prevent Santa Fe Min

Milwaukee Unemployed Demand Work

Topeka, Kan, Aug. 23.-Telegrams
made by President Walters of the coal
miners union, to prevent miners going
to work at Frontenac, in the Atchison.
Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad COM
pany's mines were not idle. AT meet
ing held in Frontenac Sunday he said
that the strikers should not carry out
the contract made with the company
until it has been sanctioned by the
union. He declared then that he would
bring 2.O00 men to Frontenac to drive
all persons from the mines The first
company of the 1000 men, 50 in num-
Z Der. arrived at Frontenac Monday
night and went into camp at the mines.
At 8 "a. m. 800 more of Walters men
arrived from Weir City and Pittsburg
and went into camp. The manager OF
the mine called on the sheriff of Craw-
ford county, who deputized es many
merchants and professional men as he
could find before day break, and started
for the scene of the threatened battle.
Guns We're telegraphed for to all
of the nejghboring towns by Man.
ager Wis IN. who is in charge
of the Santa Fe mines, and every pos
sible preparation was made to protect
miners who desire to resume work.
The sheriff is handicapped in getting
men sufficient to cope with Walters
crowd and if the threatened clash
should come he will be compelled to
ask the governor for the militia.
Thirty men went to work in the mines
at 6 o'clock, but the presenceof Walters
and his crowd prevented "a large major
ity signing the agreement. Two hum
dred were ready to go into the pits, but
they We're prevented from doing so by
Walters and his mob.
The company will resist with all the
| force that it is able to muster any at
tempt on the part of the strikers TO
move upon the company's property,
and unless Walters backs down from
his present warlike attitude bloodshed
| will certainly result.

CHICAGO, Aug, 23. There is strong
likelihood that Theodore Thomas will
once more WELD the baton in front of
the exposition orchestra. He was tele-
graphed, so Secretary Wilson of the
bureau of music said, by the executive
committee, and by them unanimously
requested to resume his position as
director of the bureau of music. The
state of Mr.. Thomas health is not such
that his acceptance of the offer Is by
any means assured, although the inn
preston prevails that should his health
allow he will return.

REPEAL WILL PASS.

Washburn Claims and Hansbrough
Admits the sherman Law Will Go.
MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 23. The Tribune's
Washington special says:
Senator Washburn, the most aggres-
sive repeater" from the Northwest in
the senate, and Senator Hansbrough,
the free silver advocate, both stated
that repeal would carry in the senate.
In accordance with this idea Senator
Washburn has delayed introducing
other matters that he is interested in.
He says the house steering committees
plan to adjourn from day to day as soon
as the Wilson bill is passed is excellent,
as throwing all the weight of public
feeling upon the senate. All will de-
pend, however, upon the way the house
acts next Monday. He says Hans
brough has made pretty thorough
canvass OF the situation, and he adds
that the repeal will have a small major
ity, which, he claims, is due to the
presidents having worked patronage
most effectively.
Senator Washburn says the flibuster-
ing, instead of being directed against
the repeal bill. will be centered upon
the Voorhees, bill to increase bank cir
culation. He believes, however, that
Southern Democrats will not fight after
they find themselves beaten and the
senator's from silver states cannot keep
mp filibustering after Sept. Is. He ex.
poets to get vote about that time.
Senator Kyle has introduced his old
bill providing that the government
erect public buildings in every city OF
1900 and over. and every county seat
in the country. His idea is to make a
general law to take the place Of the
special bills for public buildings which
are now introduced. He hopes to bring
up the measure at this time because ii
will give an opportunity to put unem-
ployed labor at work.
