Iowa General Assembly Will Probably
Adjourn on That Day.
DIES MONIES, April 3.-There is every
reason to believe that the present gen
eral assembly will adjourn its session
Friday of this week. Yesterday the
senate amended the house resolution
fixing final adjournment Thursday of
this week to Friday, April 6, and
adopted it in this form, with string
tied to it, SO that if in any event the
work cannot be completed by that
time it will be possible to reconsider. 1t
is believed that by holding three daily
sessions, as both houses expect to do
from now on, the end will be reached
by Friday, even if it is necessary to
turn the clock back at noon and remain
at work until midnight of that day.
Both houses have provided for sitting
committees, and hereafter no bills not
recommended by those committees will
be taken, excepting of course, appropri
alton measures. Final appropriations
have been agreed upon, the total as
nearly as can be estimated being ST.
417,O21 Al.

Swindler Works Numerous Victims In
Different Towns All Over Iowa.
FORT DODGE, Ia, March 31.-Society
circles We're rudely awakened yesterday
because Count Fountain, smooth and
unctuous native of France who arrived
last week, has proved counterfeit. 1t
developed that the count is common
swindler and has left his trail all over
north central Iowa.
His methods are to win the confidence
of church going people. Then his work
is easy He borrows all he can from
his dupes, gives entertainments, pockets
the proceeds and skips without paying
his bills. At Algona he failed to pay
his board bill He induced one. of the
hotel attaches to advance him $50,
promising to meet him in Mason City,
where he would introduce him to the
mysteries of acting. He also endeav-
ored to close deal with two young
women for the same purpose. (. At Bel
mond he had similar experience and
has taken several thousand dollars from
v;.ri.,.s tuI, .li.

Choice Is Between Lenihan of Cheyenne
and Carroll of Dubuque.
Sioux CITY, April at is considered
to be an assured fact that the first
bishop of Sioux City for the Catholic
church will be either Thomas II. Leni-
han of Cheyenne or DR.. John CARROLL of
Dubuque Bishop Lenihan is suffering
from heart failure, brought on by the
high altitude of Cheyenne, and desires
to be transferred.
The probability is that only one see
will be erected i'll Iowa, Bishop Cos
grove of Davenport having changed his
mind regarding the division of the
diocese of Davenport.
There appears to be no question but
that the bishop will recommend to
Rome the erection of u see at Sioux
City. From the best authority comes
information. that this decision has been
reached after a careful consideration OF
the claims of Fort Dodge.

DEBATEON PORTO Rico.
Seven Hours of Discussion in
the Senate.
WAR TAXES MAY B3 REDUCED.

House Adopts q Resolution Which Indi.-
propriate 300, 900 for Military Post at
Sheridan, Wy.-Indian Legislation.
WASHINGTON, April S.-Advocates
and opponents of the Porto Rican tariff
and government bill waged vigorous
war in the senate yesterday for more
than seven hours. Long before the
senate convened at II o'clock the gal
leries were crowded and so they re-
manned until the senate adjourned.
Those who listened to the debate were
well repaid. The speeches We're good
and the running debate unusually
bright and lively. During the speech
of Spooner particularly the chamber
seemed to scintillate with sparks, as he
crossed argumentative swords with
some of the best debaters on the Demo-
cratic side.
Bate opened the discussion of the day
with a carefully prepared speech in op-
position to the bill. He was followed
by Cullom in a vigorous speech support
ing the measure. Then came Depew, a
member of the committee which framed
the bill, who made an eloquent and
forceful defense of the measure.
Spooner, who spoke next, was fol
lowed by Perkins, also member of the
committee on Porto Rico, who presented
a strong argument for the bill.
The closing speech was delivered by
Simon, who. in criticising the measure,
entered into brief discussion OF the
political effects of it's passage.
The final vote on the bill will be
taken late this afternoon. 1t is ar
ranged for o'clock, but an, effort wi,
be made to extend the time for debate
beyond that hour

MUNICH Al ELECTIONS.
More Republican Than Demo
cratic Gains in Ohio.
CLEAN SWEEP IN CINCINNATI

Michigan Elections Show Striking In-
ing Is Prevalent In Grand Rapids.
Preacher GLADDEN. In Columbus Council.
COLUMBUS, April 3.-A summary Of
the results of the municipal and town.
ship elections in Ohio indicate more Re-
publican than Democratic gains, but no
cause for it is assigned except that the
Republican factions that have been
fighting for years have evidently been
getting together and that the Demo-
Gratis have shown more Indifference than
usual. This applies especially to the
larger cities, but there have been Re-
publican gains according to the returns
from rural districts and other indica-
tions that are not thus accounted for.
The result in Cincinnati, which on the
average plurality more than reverses
the result at the last municipal election
is attributed to less factional fighting
among the Republicans and the indif-
ference of the Democrats.
In Cleveland, where the fight has
been most intense, the Republican vic
tory was most decisive. The feature of
the day was the election of DIR. Wash
ington GLADDEN. as councilman of Co.
lumbus, where the question Of munic
ipal franchises was special issue. The
Republicans elected their tickets at
Toledo, where Mayor Samuel Jones has
held sway as an independent factor fol
years. At Dayton the Democrats re.
elected Mayor Lindmuth.

MAcHlNlsTs RESUME WORK
Mass Meeting Almost Unanimously Favors
the Compromise Proposal.


CHICAGO, April S.-With the blowing
of the whistles in the machine shops of
Chicago for the beginning of work yes
terday, thousands of machinists re-
sumed the work interrupted some
weeks ago by strike. About half the
$500 men who went out resumed their
labors this morning, and the manufac-
turers said that. as the differences had
either been settled or put on basis to
be arbitra tod, the remainder of the me-
chinists would undoubtedly return III
struggling lots during the next two Or
three days. The agreement entered in
to recently by representatives of tie
manufacturers and the men was ratified
at O. mass meeting, the vote being 3,O2S
ill favor of ratifying the modified agree
ment and 3e5 against it. The strike has
cost the mel: $500, 900 i'll salaries, while
the loss to tie manufacturers through
inability to complete contracts cannot
be readily c; lculated. The men have
been granted nine hour day with ten
hours pay.
Fifty thousand members of the build
ing trades council by reason of strikes
end lockouts, have been out for over a
month, yet the settlement of the troub
les between them and the contractors
seems as far away as ever.
