of the convention in Confederate hall
the Confederate Ladies' Memorial as
ISOLATION held in Calvary church a
memorial meeting for jefferson Da-
Wis, at which memorial address was
delivered by Bishop Thomas F. Gailor,
of the Episcopal church. The exer-
cises were almost entirely confined
to the welcoming addresses delivered
by the representatives of the people
of Memphis and of the state of Ten
nessee and by members of different
ofganiZa tions affiliated with the
United Confederate Veterans. The
only actual business performed was
the completion of the permanent or
ganization and the appointment of
the committee on resolutions and
credentials. The committee on reso-
lutions will favorably report to the
convention to-day a resolution sug-
costing that steps be taken to pre-
vent men who were deserters from
the confederate army from procuring
membership in the organization.
Cincinnati May 29.-Col. James G.
Miner, an assistant secretary OF the
confederate navy during the civil
war, died in poverty Tuesday at Mil
ford, o., aged So years. He was a
graduate of Edinburgh university, a
native of New England, but a resident
of Texas and friend of Gen. Samuel
Houston. He served under Taylor
in the Mexican war. Before the war
he was one of the owners of the ia
nous Tredegar iron works of Rich
mond. Va. The civil war swept away
his fortune, and since then he has
battled unsuccessfully in the effort
to build up new fortune. He in
vented a high-pressure engine, but
could not bring it to a financial sue
cess. In trunk in this city he had
a million dollars of confederate bonds
and money. Three weeks ago his
wife, who bravely shared his ilI-for-
tune with him, died, aged so, and
Mrs. Spencer, of Milford, gave her
burial and took the brol1en-hearted
old man to her home.

VOTE TO STRIKE.
dAchinists on the Southern Railway
Awnit the Orders of Their
Chief. .

Washington, May 29.-Ninety-seven
per cent. of the machinists in the en-
ploy of the Southern railway have
voted to strike for the nine-hour day,
and are now only awaiting the order
Of President James 0'Connell, of the
international Association of Machin-
lists, before going out. This was the
announcement made Tuesday by the
spokesman of a delegation of machin-
lists, representing the shops of the sys-
tenn which called on Vice President
and General Manager Cannon Mon
day.
Cincinnati, May e9.-The striking
machiuists are still hopeful of success,
although no sign of yielding has been
given by the large manufacturing con-
Germs forming the Metal Trades as
sociation. The strikers headquarters
has list of 20 firms that have ac-
ceded 10 their terms and whose men
are at work. These are all firms out
side of the Metal Trades association,
and they employ about 700 men. Pres
ident Gompers is expected to be here
Wednesday or Thursday to settle some
difficulty arising among brewery en-
ployes.
Seattle, Wash, May 29.-It is pos
sible that on account of the ma
chinists' strike the repairs on the
revenue cutter Bear will not be COM
pleted in time to permit her to pro-
coed on her journey north. This will
necessitate the abandonment of the
voyage to Siberia and the distribu-
ton of the herd Of 300 head of rein
deer now awaiting the arrival of the
Bear. In this event, Lieut.. Bertholf
will be compelled to spend the win
ter on the Siberian coast.
New York, May 29.-Several hun
dred machinists who have been on
strike having reached an agreement
with the IS companies which en-
ployed them will return to work to-
day. According to the men they have
won a victory and their demand for
nine hours work with ten hours pay
would be complied with.

coMMENrs ON Decisions.
Various Views Expressed ON the
Findings of the Supreme Court.

Various Views Expressed ON the
Findings of the Supreme Court.
New York, May 29.-Secretary Root
is quoted in Washington dispatch to
the Tribune as saying of the supreme
court decisions in the insular cases:
"Uuquestionably the decision OF the court
sustains the contentious, theories and the
policy adopted by the administration III
conducting the affairs of the Spanish Is
lands since the ratification Of the Paris
treaty. The unfolding Of the Foraker act
signifies that congress has the power &c
legislate without being limited by the pro-
vis!Onai contingencies of the constitution,
For instance, the constitutional provision
setting forth that uniform duties must be
collected does not apply TO the islands.
This general result of the decision is GER
tainly very gratifying
"Of course, there will be some little en-
bs4rassment caused by the holding tha.
no duties can be collected except by CON
gressional legislation, but it will be only
a temporary embarrassment"
Calls Ii Splendid Victory.
New York, May 29.-Former Attor-
ney General Griggs, in an interview
upon the supreme court Porto Rican
decisions, said:
"It is a splendid victory for the admins
tratton on the vital principle of expansion.
1t Is unnecessary for me to say that am
thoroughly satisfied with The result. 1t is
a clear-cut victory for the government on
the only really important point involved.
Three distinct classes of action were in
volved; one protesting against the collec-
ton of tariff upon imports from Porto
Rico after the date of our armed occupancy
of the island and before the date of the
ratification of the treaty of peace; another
protesting against tariff charges ON inn
ports between the ratification and the
passage of the Foraker act, and a third
attacking the Foraker law as unconstitu-
tIonal
'The decision scores a victory for the ad-
ministration in the first of these classes
and upon the aIl-fmportant third,
1.-THE administration party wins in
the second class That triumph Is a mere
matter of dollars and cents. Importers
will get back the money paid in tariff be-
tween the ratification and the passage of
the Foraker act. Importers who paid with
out protesting will not get their money
back.
1.-The court decides that the Foraker act
Is constitutional, that this country has the
legal right to govern its new possessions
as territories, to make special laws for
them md to tax their products This has
been The contention of the administration
from the very start. 1t was the principal
Issue in tie last campaign for president.
Our Porto Rioan legislation was selected
BY MIR. Bryan rs the main point of at
tack in his Indiar apols speech The decI-
sion puts quietus upon that sort of thing
and takes the matter out of politics for all
time. -.

appeal. The decision will not hurt Porto

IOWA CROP REPORT.
Weekly Bulletin Issued by the
Weather Bureau.
DIES MorNEs, Iowa. Nav Is.

. 6hC AOWAg Nhdl GOs
Cooler weather with fairly well dis
tributed showers and alarge percent
age Of cloudiness were the more inn
portant features of the week. The
daily average temperature was to 6
degrees below normal, and at the
close of the week light frosts we're
noted at numerous stations, but no
material damage resulted. The
showers were highly beneficial to all
crops, though somewhat less than the
present needs in portions of the
southern and central sections. The
moisture, cool weather and excessive
cloudiness we're especially favorable
to meadows pastures and small grain;
but the conditions were not so good
for growth of corn, and planting was
somewhat retarded, though nearly
completed in all districts. Nearly all
reports indicate that corn is making
good stands, with not more than he
usual necessity of replanting on &C
count of defective seed and damage
by worms. The work of cultivation
is in progress, under improved con.
ditions of soil. Meadows, pastures
and grain fields show decided i'm
provement in larger part of the state.
Reports as to fruit are generally
favorable, but the apple crop will b.
lighter than usual in portions OF the
southern and central districts.

TIE NEW BRIDGE.
Iowa centraI's Steel Bridge at
Eddyville Nearly Completed


The Iowa Central bridge over the
Des Moines river at Eddyville stands
almost completed and two weeks
more o. work will see the handsome
structure finished in every detail.
The falae work is now being removed
and the finishing touches placed on
the bridge itself. The ties are almost
all in place and secured with the
guard rail and q protecting edge Of
angle iron.
The building OF the bridge has oc-
cupied period of more than rs
months. The piers were commenced
In Novemb er, aud there have
been twelve months of continuous
work by large force of men neces-
sary to complete the structure. The
steel structure is a monument to the
Iowa Central and to the builders,
The American Bridge Company of
Philadelphia The cost of the COM
pleted structure will be in the neigh
borhood of s14O, 900. W. A. Ramsey
has been in charge of the work, rep
resenting the American Bridge o.,
and A. SpaDgle has been looking
after the details of the construction
as supervising engineer in the inter
ests of the designers, Waddell &
Hedrick of Kansas City. L. A.
George, of Philadelphia, has been
the foreman in charge of the con-
struction crews.
There are seven spans to the great
bridge. 1876 feet inches to the span.
make the total length of the steel
structure 955 feet and inches. The
spans stand % feet in the clear.
The bridge is a massive affair and
yet the completed whole presents a
wonderfully symmetrical appearance.
1t is a fine piece of work and is built
to sustain great weights. The bridge
would easily carry any engine or
train that ever runs in Iowa. The
strength per running foot of the
bridge is greater than any other
bridge that is to be found elsewhere
In the state.
The bridge is built some higher
than the old structure and there will
have to be some grading done on
the north approach before the track
leading to the bridge is in perfect
condition.
1t is thought that it will be ready
for final inspection and acceptance
by the Iowa Central company within
the next three weeks
There were several circumstances
in connection with the building OF
the structure that caused delays and
the length of time required for the
completion of the work has been
greater than was expected on ae-
count of the interruptions. There
was trouble with contractors and the
payment of the labor engaged upon
the work. The material on the ground
was attached at one time for the pay
ment of labor bills and there are
claims still pending in the courts
that will be settled this summer.
But after all the trouble and set
backs that the work has experienced
the bridge stands completed, and it
will stand as a monument to the
road and to the art of the bridge
builder through generations to come.
It is well worth the while of anyone
to pay a visit to the city of Eddy
vile for the purpose of seeing the
work.

A New way

The postoffice employees Of this
city have discovered a new way Of
spelling oskaloosa. A letter arrived
in the city yesterday bearing the
town name oskeylosese. There was
some doubt as to whether that ar
rangement of the letters would give
the desired result pronounced, but
by separating the arrangement into
sylIables the intention Of the writer
becomes evident, thus, os-key-lose-
se. And all OF this comes out Of
Marshalltown.
