SHIPS MADE READY FAST.
Experiment With Naval Vessels
Proves q Success.

Washington, June THE expert
ment with the battleships Indiana and
Aassac husetts has been a marked sue
cess. A telegram received at the navy
department today from Admiral Silas
casey, commandant of the League Is
land navy yard, announced that the
two big ships were completely equipped
and ready for sea.
Thus l. appears that these two for
Iaidable vessels have been made ready
for any required service in the short
space Of about forty hours, without the
slightest warning or notice. The result
Is regarded as a satisfactory Vindica-
ton of the policy OF keeping ships in
ordinary recently adopted by the
navy department. The record made at
league island is about as good IS any
made abroad, with superior facilities
IN the latter case.

HE'S A POLITICAL ORPHAN.
Banker Benedict Hates Both McKin-
lev and Bryan.


New Haven, Conn. June 7.-E. c.
Benedict, the New York banker, who
recently returned frOn, a trip with ex-
President Cleveland. has written let
ter, in which he says:
THE gross Outrages perpetrated on
the good name Of the Democratic party
by the prominent managers of a party
by that name, with scarcely a Yestige
of the old Democratic gospel left in It,
makes me at present d political orphan
! have not a single Democratic &C
quaintance who does not share this
feeling.
'McKinleyism is becoming almost re-
pugnant to the rank and file Of Re
Dublicans, as Organism is to US.
These vast and increasing rebellious
elements from the ranks of both par
ties. having common dangers, are fast
becoming common friends, and are anX-
ious to become enrolled under one ban
ner.
But before an organization of these
elements can be effected it is the plain
duty of outraged Democrats to use
their best individual efforts, in the alb
senee of organization, TO clean house
by the complete destruction of 6ryan-
ism, Soon thereafter McKinleyism
must surely perish as punishment for
its infidelity to all sound principles OF
government"

RUssIA Is ANxIoUs.
United States, However, VIII Avoid
Entanglements.

Washington, June Perhaps a pub
lished rumor to the effect that the
United States might join with other
powers in prohibiting Russia from
landing more troops than the other
powers in China, led to the early ap-
pearance at the state department to-
day of Mr.. De Wollant, the first sec
rotary of the Russian embassy. The
ambassador, Count Cassani. is absent
on leave from his post and the first sec
rotary is acting as charge, If that was
the subject of his inquiry. the charge
was speedily treasured, for the state
department has repeatedly intimated
that it is concerned solely for the
safety of the American legation and
consulates in China, and for the direct
interest of American citizens there.
Mr.. COnger's powers are regarded as
ample, but he is not expected to take
action in the matter of dispatching mil
itary expeditions to the interior of
China that might be equivalent to a
declaration of war on our part.

HOTEL GOSSIP.

Among the guests that yesterday regis
tered at the White House was Robert
McAfee. master mechanic at the April
Fool mine at De Lamar New. Mr. Nc
Afee managed to save a pair OF trusses
rom the recent disastrous fire that Wis
ited that mining camp, otherwise all his
earthly goods and chattels went up in
smoke along with the eighty odd resi-
dences that We're destroyed on that oCca-
sion. In speaking II regard to the con
fiagratiOn last night he said:
mo one seems to rightly know how
the blaze started. The fire originated in
an old cabin that had a stOckade around
it and had not been occupied for months
past When the blaze was first seen a
man could have beaten it out with his
hat, but someone yelled dynamite and
then everybody scattered, and the flames
soon spread, famed by the brisk breeze
that was blowing. AS we had no fire
department the fire took its course and
burned everything In its path until IT
cama 20 The So co brush and then quit. If
the wind had shifted, nothing could have
stopped the entire town from being WHO'D
out. Although there was hardly any in
Surance carried in the place. there IS no
want of suffering apparent, and the peO-
pie who were rendered homeless were put
uD at the houses of the more fortunate
ones. Already those who were burned out
are beginning to erect new homes upon
the charred sites of their former resi-
dences"
Speaking on the subject of the fatal
Dust OF the De Lamar mil. MT. McAIee
stated that he visited the mill few days
ago and found the condition of affairs
much improved when compared to what
they used to be in days gone by. Where
in former times it was impossible to
identify anyone the length Of the mill,
he said that now there was not much
dust in evidence on account of the half
dozen accumulators that had been put In
by the company In addition to this state
of affairs he stated that every man work
ing in the mill was also provided with a
resnirator with the result that a man
could work in the place without putting
his life in Jeopardy as had been the case
in former days.

Iowa Anti.saIoon League Making q

Des Moines, March S.-(Special Cor
respondence.) Last fall and summer
and during the first few weeks OF this
year. a great deal of talk was heard
about the state concerning beet sugar
factories, and yhe raising of sugar beets
in Iowa. No less than dozen towns
We're interested in securing con tracts
for raising beets with view to estab
fishing factories. 1t was claimed sew
eral factories would be in operation in
Iowa this year, and in Des AIoiues the
movement even went as far as the or
ganization of company and filing of
articles of incorporation. But all pro-
jects fell thru, and it does not seem at
present as tho any factories would be
founded in Iowa this year. The ques-
ton has arisen: ''What is the trouble %
Iowa promoters claim to have dlscoy-
cred what the trouble is. Their voice
has been heard thru Representative
Blake of Webster county and Senator
Titus of ,Muscatine county. 1t. is claim
ed that the failure to establish fac
tories this year has been due TO lack
of capital, and that lack of capital has
been due to the fact The eastern in
vestors are afraid of Iowa investmen
The promoters of the sugar beet indus.
try claim that on several occasions they
have failed by the merest margin TO
interest eastern money in Iowa sugar
beet factories, and that on each occas-
ion the capitalist has withheld his cash
because he is afraid that Iowa, being
so neig'hborly with populistic states, is
liable to offer unfriendly legislation.
Messrs. Blake and Titus propose TO re-
move this bugbear by the passage of
an act, eNempting sugar beet factories
from taxation for ten years. Bills MAX
ing this provision have been introduced
in both houses, and acted upon in
committee. The house committee on
judiciary and domestic manufactures
have reported the Blake bill for pass
age. The former committee consid-
cred the bill as to it's constitutionality
and declares it is constitutional. In
the senate the committee on domes-
tic manufactures has reported the I'll
tus bill for passage, and it is now be-
lore the Senate. Il is expected IL VIII
not be referred to judiciary. Messrs.
Flake and Titus are confident the
measures will pass both houses, altho
not without opposition. In both
branches the democrats, as we'll as a
number of republicans, are strongly
opposed to the measure, assuring 4
close vote.
The towns which have been most
prominent in the beet sugar movement
are Des Moines. Fort Dodge, Alusca-
tine. atlantic, Mason City and Storm
Lake Mass meetings and addresses on
the beet issue have been numerous,
and several hundred acres OF beets
| have been contracted for with farmers.

cially fertile field to work.
The candidates announced are: En-
lin McClain, of Iowa City; Judge t. NJ.
Fee, of Cepterville, a candidate last
year; Judge q. A. Church, of Jefferson,
Greene county; Judge Fl. NJ. Remley,
of Anamosa, and Colonel Charles A.
Clark, of Cedar Rapids. All of these
men have announced their candidacy.
In addition l.. C. Blanchard, of Mahas-
ka county, will probably be candi-
date. Judge Robert Sloan, of Keosau-
qua, one of the defeated candidates last
year, is being mentioned, but has not
definitely announced that he win be
in the field. Judge James Davis, Of
keokuk, was also in Des Moines u day
or two ago, and it has been rumored
that if he does not land the federal
:ludgeship, for which he is candidate.
he will be in the list of supreme court
aspirants. Judge Remley was in Des
Moines on Monday and Tuesday, and
yesterday Judge Fee was Des Moines
visitor.
Judge Fee had the strongest support
last year, outside of Robinson, Sherwin
and Burnham, who We're the leaders.
1t; is claimed by his friends that his
SnahSSs tuis year dfe mucH OelteF.
They argue that he will have the
Eighth district solid, a considerable
portion Of the First, and probably all
of it if Sloan is not candidate, and
much support in the northwest part
of the state, with an equal chance in
other districts with the other candi-
dates. Judge Fee is said to have the
support of Judge Robinson in the
Eleventh, who has just accepted po-
sition on the board of control.
