In, In

MANILA. September g. $50 p.m.-The
Iowa Regiment. the last of the volunteer
organizations on duty in the Island of Luz
zen. has been withdrawn from Calulut to
barracks at Calucan, preparatory to de-
parting for home. The number who will
sail is 500. Less than 200 of the regiment
were left duty at the front when the
order came for their relief. 400 being on the
sick list. This regiment has undergone hard
outpost duty for three months, during
which it has been very much exposed To
the rains. Seventy-five members of the reg
inIent have re-enlisted. Although the
Iowans participated in some of the hardest
of the lighting between Malolos and San
Fernando, not one of them was killed in
battle.
Thirty-nine members of the regiment.
however, were wounded and nine died OF
disease.
The insurgents continue to make demon
strat*ons in the vicinity of Amis The
American outposts were obliged to fire
volIeys the past three nights.
Mail advices from Zamboanga report that
the town has been practically deserted.
The facts concerning the recently reported
fighting between Dato Mundi and the in
surgents are that the insurgents attacked
a village in the Dato's dominionS neigh
boring islands, killing two of the villagers.
The Dato's men subsequently drove eff

agriculture to Chicago and other points
west some time during the fall to conduct
inquiries as to the conditions that several
ly interest them IN that section OF the
country.
: Power IL Elevator Combines.
The subcommfssion on agriculture found
at its sitting In the west that the agricul-
tural Ills in that section are largely asso-
ciated with the transportation problem, and
that there is work for the transportation
subcommissien to sattend to there. The
elevator combine is alleged to control the
whole product of the western farms, and
the prices as well. and the railroads are,
as the farmers say, in league with them.
Testimony was given before the subcom-
mission to the effect that one firm alone
controls three hundred grain elevators on
one Of the far western railroads.
Some of the members of the subcommis-
sion think that there may be grievances
in this condition Of things that ought to be
remedied. and the problem is one for the
subcommission on transportation to con-
slider.
The subcommission on manufactures will
go to Chicago in response to the many re-
quests on the part of the industrial In
tereStS of the west

HAS TRAPPED THE WORLD OVER.
An Austrian Who Claims Memb rshiD
the Nobility,

Count Rocco Uianovitch, VINO claims to
be an Austrian nobeman, has arrived in
sights of the treasury and other depart
ments. Count Dianovitch has been travel
ing on foot fer thirty-four years and claims
to have visited all countries of the globe
except Canada. He says he left his home
when fourteen years of age and has been
tramplng ever since. He does not ride on
trains. He declares that he pays for his
meals and does not secure them in the
usual hobo style.
Count Dianoviteh says he has nearly con-
Guided his long travels. He will yet visit
Canada and Will then leave for his old
home. He has studied prisons, hospitals
ami other public institutions during his long
tramp, and proposes to write a history Of
what he has seen and how the different
countries treat their prisoners.

IF JUSTICE CHAMBERS RESIGNS.
Likely to BE Given an Appointment
by the President.

Mr.. William Lea Chambers. the chief JUS
tice of Samoa. who is at present in this
city, again called at the Departmen of
State today to adjust some unimportant
matters previous to his departure from this
city. Mr.. Cha mbers has not yet prepared
his final report to the three treaty powers,
but is understood to be engaged on that
work.
1t Is not definitely known whether at the
expiration of his leave of absence about
November Is next, he will return to Apia,
but far can DE ascertained it is not
thought that he will. 1t is quite probable,
too, that in case Mr.. Chambers should vol
unfairly tender his resignation to the treaty
powers the President would be inclined to
offer him some federal appointment under
the government of the United States. Mr.
Chambers feels naturally elated at the fact
that the commission la Rely sent to Samoa
to adjust the difficulties there unanimously
sustained his decision in the matter of the
kingship question.

lips Lee Godsborough of Dorchester

John V. l.. Findlay of Baltimore city.
The convention was the largest and most
enthusiastic ever held by the republicans
in this state. and the proceedings through
out were characterized by such harmony
and unity of spirit to make the whole
affair seem like political love feast.
Senator Wellington called the body to
order and opened the meeting by speech.
which was received with the most intense
enthusiasm He reviewed the record of
his party in its administration of state af-
fairs and pointed to the pledges made in
1895 on which the election was won, as
being carried out in letter and spirit, and
promised in behalf of the nominees that
the pledges made today would be as faith
fully performed.
State Senator Stevenson A. Williams of
Hartford county was chairman of the con-

district placed Governor Lowndes' name
before the convention for denomination in
a forcible and mastery speech and the

StrOnR Platform.
The platform is considered by democrats
and republicans alike who have read it as
an able presentation of the issues OF the
campaign. and Is noted for its positive and
emphatic tone in regard to state and ma
tional affairs. 1t has been carefully pre-
pared. and is said to be satisfactory to all
republicans as well as to the many indie
pendent democrats who have announced
their intention to support the ticket named
today. Every county and district in the
state was represented at the convention
and a noticeable feature was the presence
of many democrats. who were enthusiast

1t is now said that if the army re-
organization bill is not passed, an extra
session Of congress will be absolutely
necessary. A decision has been rem
dered BY the attorney general to the
effect that as o o al the notifications Of
the peace treaty are exchanged the
volunteers can no longer be retained in
service. This is also true. the attorney
general holds, Of the additional regu-
lars who were enlisted for the war with
Spain. Consequently, without the de-
sired legislation, the president will find
himself with an army reduced from
65. 900 to $4,000 men. Neither the
volunteers nor the regulars would de-
sert the flag in time Of need, however.
The patriotism Of the people can be de-
pended upon to support the president,
whether congress does so or not.
