THE VOICE OF IOWA.
The State Convention ProcIaims
PEOPLES Wishes.

The democracy of Iowa invite the
cooperation of all friends of civil and
personal liberty, and of equal rights,
and who are in favor of the mainten-
ance of constitutional government as
founded by the fathers. and make the
following declarati on of principles in
support thereof:
Bryan Indorsed
We reaffirm our unqualified allie
glance to the principles set forth in
the democratic national platform
adopted in Chicago in 1896, and recog
nizing William j. Bryan as the great
est living exponent of said principles.
we demand his nomination as the
standard bearer of democracy.
Money.
We are opposed to the single gold
standard and denounce the action of
congress in attempting to establish it,
and in retiring the greenback curren-
cy in circulation and in surrendering
the sovereign power of the govern
ment over the money of the country
and the placing of this power in the
hands of banking corporations.
Trusts.
We denounce trusts and combina-
lions in restraint of trade and the
protective policy of the republican
party upon which they are founded.
and demand legislation that will re-
lleye the people from their burdens
promptly. thoroughly and effectively.
Porto Rican Measure.
We deplore the adoption of the
recent Porto Rican measure which
the people and the press of all parties
have branded as violation of Ameri-
can pledges and of the constitution
and as a stain upon American honor.
and we heartily commend the action
OF the house of representa- of the
Iwenty-eighth general assembly of
tffe state state Of Iowa III adopting, by
unanimous vote, resolution opposing
the Porto Rican tariff.
Imperialism.
We condemn theimperialist policy
of this administration as fraught with
danger to the best interests of our
country and destructive of the princi-
pies of liberty guaranteed by the con-
stitution and condemn its course to-
ward the PHILIPPINE islands as un-
American and contrary to the princi-
pies that our fathers mai ntained
against the tyranny of Great Britain
during the war of the revolution.
Sympathy for Beers.
We as citizenf of republic. extend
our sympathy to the citizens of the
South African republics in the gallant
light they are making for the right of
self government, for life, liberty and
home
Election of Senator'S,
We favor the election of United
States senators by direct vote of the
people.

SCARCITY OF CARS
Causes Slack Times in the Fairmont
Coal Regions.

Special to the Register
FAIRMONT, w. Va, Sept. 11.-Work
at the different mines in the Fairmont
district is rather poor, but nothing more
than anticipated, or, in fact, expect
ed, for the coal and coke trade is very
slack during a part of this month and
the three months previous. The oper-
ators have been fortunate In one respect
and that is in the way of orders. 1t is
not the slackness of orders that have
all to do with the dull times at the
mines, but the principal cause is the
shortage of cars. Following is the
switching statement for the month Of
August for the Fairmont yards only,
and which shows a total decrease n
the number of cars out by at least one
half:

WASHINGTON, Sept. 11.-From the
appears that the State Department is
not yet ready to begin direct negotia-
tions with Ii Hung Chang. 1t does not
question his credentials as plenipo-
Tertiary, but simply leaves the matter
in allegiance. Probably this is because
all of the powers have not yet returned
their responses to the Russian note,
and it is desired to avoid making the
United States the first among the pow
ers to abandon the hope of harmonious
action and strike for itself toward the
settlement directly with China Also,
it may be deemed we'll to wait to hear
from Mr. Conger, who, several days
ago. was invited to express his opinion
about quitting Pekin. Minister WI was
twice at the State Department to-day.
It was understood that his first call was
in part, at least, to secure transporta-
ton for Ii Hung Chang from Shanghai
to Taku on a United States vessel. HIS
later call was to receive the answer OF
the department to that application, as
we'll as to the communication respect
ing Ii Hung Chang's functions. The
answer returned by the State Depart
ment to the latter communication ap-
parently made it unnecessary at TINS
time to pursue the inquiry as TO the
ship; il Ii may not enter into negotla-
tons at present there is no occasion TO
transport him to Taku.
The State Department this afternoon
issued the following:
The following communication was
harded to Acting Secretary OF State
Hill on September 10, by the Chinese
minister:
Cablegram from Earl Ii Hung Chang,
dated the It'll of September, 1910,
transmitted by the Chinese minister at
St. Petersburg, under date OF the 9Th OF
September, and received by Minister
WI, on the last named date:
81 am in receipt OF an imperial edict
of the goth day of the seventh month
august "a, 1900), transmitted by way
of Pao Ting Flu 1t is as follows:
eli Hung Chang, envoy plenipoten-
tiary, is hereby vested with full discre-
tionary powers, and he shall promptly
deal with whatever questions may re-
quire his attention. From this dis
lance we will not control his actions.
Let this edict be forwarded with extra
expedition at the rate of six hundred
Ii per day Ito Earl Lip for his informa-
ton and guidance.
Respect this
To the above communication Acting
Secretary Hill has handed Mr.. WI the
following reply:
The United States does not feel cali
deal with whatever questions may re-
time as to the sufficiency of Ii Hung
Chang's authority, but hopes it will
transpire that his credentials are full
and authoritative, not only for negotia-
ton, but to enable him without further
delay to give ASSURANCE that the life
and property of Americans VIII hence
forth be respected throughout the
