Washington, June 5.--Actlng Secretary

corbin had a conference with the presi
cent after midnight tonight. They had
been summoned by the President. What
was the nature or result Of the conference
can only be conjectured as yet, as the
parties to It declined to discuss 1t.
Mr.. Meikiejohn and General corbin were
with the president about half an hour
leaving shortly before o'clock. The late.
ness OF the meeting attracted more than
usual attention. as there has been no re-
cent occasion for late conferences. Upon

IN response to all inquiries that there was
nothing to make public and that the sub
1ect under consideration was not OF a
serious character.

Will the Dubuque He,rld the Des
Moines Leader, the Clinton Age, the
st. Paul Globe, the Minneapolis Times,
and the few county papers which are
their echoes, support Mr.. Mckinley
again in 1900, or would they prefer
s?me other republican? Itseems they
are entitled to some voice in naming
the nominees of that party because of
their efficient aid to itssuccesS in 1896.
But perhaps they have been consulted
in the matter, and advised that the
best means of continuing the nation
al banking system, and so extending
it that all the currency of the country
shall be issued by them. that the
trusts and combinations of capital for
the exploitation of the public should
not be placed in jeopardy, and to that
end the men of their class, the qusdi
supporters of Palmer and Buckner,
but the ones responsible for the result
of 1896 should again assume democrat
ic leadership: for in that event their
policies would triumph, however the
election might result, as upon all these
questions they and the republicans
are in perfect accord. Their treach-
cry can work no further harm unless
unwiSely admitted to it's councils and
permitted to shape its. policies, and
declare its principles. The writer well
remembers the VanBuren bolt of the
nomination of Lewis Cass in 1913, and
the supreme folly of admitting them
to representation in the Syracuse state
convention two years later, which
placed them in position to successfully
betray the party and it's principles as
they did at the first opportunitY.

DISLIKE WOOD PILES.
Tramps Are Disguised with Invita-.
lions to Saw Wood and Give
Towns Wide Berth,

AS the result of a scheme inaugurated
by Prof. d. Schafe, of Cedar Rapids, the
great army OF tramps and hobos who
each year infest many of the cities and
towns in Iowa has greatly diminished.
by special arrangements made at each
place with either woman's club or a
ladies' aid society large wood pile is
provided and placed in charge of some
responsible wood or coal dealer. AS the
tramp makes his visit from house to
house and begs "hand-out" he is po-
litely Informed by the lady at the kitch-
en- door that if he will go to the afore-
said coal or wood dealer he may earn
enough money to procure first-rate
meal by saving one-eighth of cord of
wood. The fund for the purchase of the
wood is replenished by the sale of the
sawed wood, which always commands a
ready sale. BY this system the tramps
are becoming Disguised with this man
ner of having to work for something to
eat and are giving every town with a
wood pile wide berth Nearly every
town or city of any Importance in north
and central Iowa now have the scheme
in good working order and tramps are
seldom seen
