With Pleasure at Washington.
Washington, April 27.-The follow
ing cablegram has been received at
the state department from Mr..
Squire, the United States charge at
Picking:
''The empress dowager has ap.
pointed board of national admins
tration to relieve her of her public
functions. They embrace three mem,
bers of the cabinet now with the en-
press at Sian Flu. and Prince Ching,
Viceroy Ii and Prince Kung, who are
ow in Peking."
The news is regarded as of impor-
lance. indicating as it does the re-
linquishment by the empress dowager
of the arbitrary powers she hereto
fore has exercised. 1t also is appar.
ent that she has placed herself in a
position to avoid direct responsibility
to the foreigners for whatever may
happen in the future, and the board
will have to bear the brunt of any
complaint. 1t is felt that the ap.
pointment of this board will make it
much easier for the foreign. minis
tiers to transact business with the
Chinese government.

George d. Perkins in the Sioux City
Journal prints the following an
nouncement of his withdrawal from
the republican gubernatorial contest:
ITO the Republicans of Iowa: Hon.
Edwin III. Conger, upon his return to
the United States, having reiterated
his assurance that he would accept
the nomination of the republicans of
Iowa for governor, if they should de-
eide to tender the nomination to him,
l withdraw my name from further
consideration IN connection with that
office.
"These considerations influence me:
[ am anxious to contribute to the
unity and good name of the repub-
lican party of the state. have conf
dence in the republicanism, ability
and integrity of Major Conger, and
believe he would fill the office of gov
ernor with distinction. ] do not de-
sire to be source of division and
contention to the republican party in
the Eleventh congressional district.
1t is not important that / should hold
public Office.
II greatly appreciate the kindness
of many friends at home and over the
state. The question of preference
with them, since my own name is
withdrawn, I am content to leave to
their intelligent judgment as citizens
and republicans.
"Geo. D. Perkins"

surprise in Sioux City, Mr.. Perkins
having given no intimation that he
had any such intention.

arrested on two other counts which
the state is not now prepared to say
will be made use of, as no new evil
dence is at hand and the expense of
going over the ground again is con
siderable.

UNITE ON STATE ISSUES.
Democrats In Conference Decide to Make
Hard Fight

u nara tlgnC
Des Moines, April 27.-A vigorous
fight for more equitable method of
assessing railroads will be inaugural
ed by the democratic party in this
years state campaign. A plank on
railroad assessments will be inserted
in the platform. If the consensus of
opinion that developed at yesterdays
conference of leading members of the
party from all sections of the state
is any index, the policy of the de-
mocracy in Iowa this year will be
radical and outspoken. The railroad
commission will be marked for oblit-
Grafton as useless piece of state
furniture, out of which the public
gets no benefit. A tax on the fran
chises for public service utilities is
advocated, and in general state pol
icy that will be so sharply defined
and aggressive as to compel the at
tention of those that are dissatisfied
with present conditions.
Although yesterday was the date
of the meeting of the state central
committee, the important develop
ments of the day were in the con-
ference that preceded it. The work
of the committee was easily tran
sacted. 1t was decided to hold the
state convention at Des Moines, Aug
ust II, two weeks after the republi-
can convention. The temporary Off
GERS will be as follows: Temporary
chairman, E. M. Sharon of Daven-
port; temporary secretary, H. A.
Nash of Perry; reading secretary,
j. H. Gillespie of Burlington; assist
ant reading secretary, G. L. Caswell
of Denison; sergeant-at-arms, S. B.
Morrissey of Harlan.
