NO PROSPECT OF A CLASH.
Compromise as to Russian Proposal 4
PrObabIe.

Washington, Sept. 6.-Within the
last twenty-four hours the United
states government has received from
it's representatives at foreign CAPT
tails much material information in re-
gard to the attitude of the powers on
the Russian proposal to evacuate, Pc
king. These give the general nature
of the responses made to Russia by
certain of the powers. 1t is stated
authoritatively that if there was at
any time a prospect of serious in
ternational clash this has been very
largely, if not entirely, removed by
the harmonious character of the COM
munications the several governments
are making. The exact nature of the
responses is not made public by the
state department, for there are yet
some replies to be transmitted and
until all of them are in the negotia-
tons are considered in such an in
complete form that they will not be
made public. 1t is said, however, that
the answers go much beyond the ten,
tative character of those heretofore
referred to and are of a conclusive
nature, so far as showing the pur-
poses of the governments, although
they may not be regarded as conclu-
sive in accepting or rejecting the par
ticular proposition advanced by Rus
STA On the whole, the general ten
dency of the responses is such as TO
give entire satisfaction here as to

CUMMINS WITHDRAWS.
Announces He Will Not be a Cam
didate for Senator.

Des Moines, Sept. 7.-Hon. A. b.

candidate for United States senator
in opposition to Senator Dolliver. He
has made the following statement:
ITO My Republican Friends: I'M
mediately after the appointment of
Mr.. Dolliver to fill the vacancy caused
by the death of Senator Gear, L was
besieged by reporters, wanting to
know whether | would be a candidate
for the office before the republican
caucus of the general assembly.
Thinking that it was possible for me
to defer a decision upon the question
until near the time of the meeting
of the legislature, ! replied, in sub
stance, that l might be candidate,
and it is now generally believed that
| will contest Mr.. Delivers election.
MY experience in the short period
since the appointment has convinced
me that it is Tot practicable to post
pone my conclusion. / am warned
by events that have already occurred
that if there is to be contest be-
tween Mr.. Dolliver and myself, it must
begin now indeed, that it has already
begun. Under these conditions my
decision is easily made, and | desire
to say to the men who have so 10y
ally and unselfishly supported me,
that | am not a candidate. | cannot
say this to all of you by personal
communication, and therefore adopt
the only other means that can be
used for the purpose.
MANY things have combined to
impel me to the conclusion just an,
nounced. / had hoped that follow.
ing the appointment there would be
period of absolute peace and quiet
upon the subject, and that we might
forget, for time at least, that there
had been a controversy between Sem
ator Gear and myself. The hope was
not well founded, and / am not will
ing that my ambition shall disturb
the party in the slightest degree dur
ing the important campaign now in
progress. | am told that if it is I'M
derstoOd that ] am candidate it
will affect the vote upon the consti-
tutional amendment to be submitted
at the coming election, and | cannot
permit my senatorial aspirations to
become an obstacle in the way of a
measure SO wise and salutary.
"A final reason, influential in my
determination, is that my business
imperatively demands my time and
strength, and | cannot carry on a
controversy that will consume both,
during the long interval that must
elapse between the present time and
the meeting of the general ASSEMBLY.
with unbounded gratitude for
your unwavering, unequaled devotion
in the long though unsuccessful fight,
| am, yours faithfully,

DOWAGER STILL DEFIANT
Peace Commissioners Are Violent
ReaCtionary rlanchus.

London, Sept. 6.-The Chinese min.
ister here has communicated to the
foreign office an imperial edict, dated
Tai Yuan Flu, appointing commission
ers to negotiate terms of peace in
association with Ii Hung Chang.
Grave dissatisfaction is felt at the
names of the commissioners. Earl Ii
had asked that Viceroys Liu Kun Ty
and Chang Chin Tung and Prince
Ching should be nominated with him.
The court has ignored his suggestion
for the nomination of the reforming
Yang Use, viceroys and appointed in
stead Prince Ching, Yung Ii and Hsu
Tung. The two last named are vic.
lent reactionary Manchus.
Little hope can be entertained OF
successful negotiations with board
thus constituted, and it is hoped that
the powers will decline to treat with
the two Manchu mobiles. 1t is clear
that the southern viceroys are to be
prescribed and prosecuted for de-
Ginning to join i'm the recent anti-for-
eign movement, and unless pressure
can be brought to bear in their favor
by the powers their lives and liberty
may be in danger.
This revelation of the persistent
anti-foreign policy of the Chinese
government makes the Russian pro-
posal seem more than ever impolitic
So far from being frightened into re-
Pentance, the empress dowager and

der which those powers will be pre-
pared to conclude peace with China,

DEAD MEN ARE IDENTIFIED.
Bullet Holes Through Bodies Show
They Were Murdered.

Algona, Sept. S.-The two men
whose bodies were found near the
track of the Chicago, Milwaukee &
St. Paul railroad five miles east of
Algona, after careful examination by
the coroner and jury, were found to
have been shot, one of them through
the left lung and heart, the other
through the right lung. The men
were evidently killed, then robbed and
their bodies thrown out of freight
car in which they were riding. Their
satchels were thrown out some dis
tance from where their bodies were
found. They had been working on
surfacing gang west of Whitteman,
had quit work the day before, been
paid off, and it is supposed were on
their way home. All valuables upon
their persons were taken. From let
tiers and papers found upon their per-
sons and in their satchels, their iden-
tity was discovered. One was named
Jens Gravenson. He had letter dat
ed August 90 from Indianapolis, Ind,
from brother. The other was Au-
gust Carlsquist, and formerly resided
at Boone. The jury brought in YER
diet that they were murdered by par
ties unknown. Thus far no trace of
the murderers has been discovered

track bridge being built by the Chi
cago q Northwestern railway four
teen miles west of here across the
Des Moines river and which is now
nearing completion, is the largest
double-track bridge in the United
States. The cost of the steel work is
estimated at S45O,00O and the founda-
ton is placed at $l50,000, bringing the
total cost of the bridge up to 100000.
This bridge is being built for the pur-
pose of shortening the road from
Boone to Ogden, which now embraces
two of the steepest grades on the
Northwestern line, which has been
the cause of many wrecks and much
loss of life. The new line, besides do
ing away with these heavy grades,

Chicago is congratulating itself
and with good reason-on the steady
Improvement in the health of it's inhab-
itants. Records kept by the board of
health show a constant decrease in the
death rate during the last twenty years,
particularly among children. Out of
every thousand deaths during the first
quarter of this twentyyear period, FIVE
hundred and twenty-five were those
of children under five years of age.
During the last quarter the number
has been only three hundred and thir-
ty-eight. The gain is attributed to the
diligence of the board of health in
spreading a knowledge among the
poorer people of the best way of feed
ing infants during hot weather. and to
the establishment of day nurseries ,ster-
ilized milk depots, floating hospitals
and other admirable charities.

THE NEWS in IOWA
DAIRY INTERESTS THRIVING.
Coming Report shows They Are In

Coming Report shows They Are In .
Prosperous Condition.
Des Moines, Sept. 1o.-Reports to
the contrary Notwithstanding, the
facts do not bear out the statement
that the business of dairying in Iowa
is on the decline. The annual report
of the state dairy commissioner is
now being prepared and is required
to be in the hands of the governor by
November /. The report, which will
contain n thorough resume of the con-
dition of the dairying interests of the
state, will show those interests to be
prosperous. There will be rothing
like the exceptional growth in the
dairy business that has marked some
years in the past, but that it will hold
its own is assured. Inquiry at the
Office of the dairy commissioner devel-
oped the fact that large number of
new creameries have been established
in the state this year. Eighty-nine
new establishments are known to have
been started and not all of the new
ones have been reported to the COM
missioner's Office yet. One of the pc
culiar features of the business this
year is that in some of the counties
where there has been little attention
paid to dairying heretofore, it has
taken on a strong and sudden impetus.
In a number of counties little given
to dairying prior to this, three, four
and even five new creameries are re-
ported. The increased business in
these counties will offset any decline
that may have come about in some Of
the big dairying counties of the state.

An agent of the department of agriI
culture has just returned from the Sa-
hara desert, where he went to secure
varieties of date palms for use in
Arizona. 1t is believed that the date
industry in this country will some time
become very important. In the Sa-
hara the dates grow in the GASES which
are formed about wells of water. Since
the French have occupied Algeria they
have sunk many artesian wells, about
which new GASES have sprung up, much
to the surprise of the nomads. 1t is
a striking exhibition of the interde-
pendence of the nations that the old
Desert of Sahara is at last furnishing
material to help to complete the agri-
cultural resources of this new and fer

The last public school in Hawaii in
which instruction was given in the
native tongue has been closed, and
English is now the official language
throughout the islands. For more
than so years a dual system has been
maintained in court proceedings. All
accused persons having Hawaiian blood
in their veins had to be tried in the
Hawaiian language, even although
they could speak English. In civil
cases where one of the parties was of
native descent the jury was half Ha-
waiian and half white. The territorial
act which made the islands United
States territory provides that only
persons who can read, speak, write
and understand English are eligible
for jury duty.
