The United States fish commission
has been making Cd Election of leath-

other aquatic nimaIIs especially of
those which prniseJ Ito be of practical
utility. Severslva1k eties of fish have

example, servaso well in this way
that the Eskim of Alaska make wat

also cut jacl1etDut of cod fish skins,
which are saidO b very serviceable
garments. Ine limited States frog
skins are coming into use for the
mounting of books where an excep-
tionally delicate material for binding
is required. here are certain tribes
OF savages who make breast plates out
of garfsh skins which will turn a

KEEL CANAL
SO Tar the Enterprise Comes ont wits,
a Deficit

a Deficit.
The administration of the Kiel ca
nal, Germany, has lately published a
report for the year included between
April l, 1898. and March 81, 1899. The
number of vessels which have passe !
through the canal during that perio /
reached 25,S16, of which IL ZOOS repre-.
sent steam vessels and 1851 sailin9
vessels, etc. The total tonnage Is es-
timated at 3,117,840. These figures
show an increase over the preceding
year of 2,708 vessels and 648 900 tons
The receipts of the canal during thu
year amount to about $500, COO, which
is an increase OF $4,000 or 20 ger
cent, says the Scientific American. A i
to the different nations using the
canal, Germany naturally takes tho
lead with 81 per cent of the total num-
Der of vessels, and GO per cent of the
tonnage; England has about 9 per
cent which is an increase orer tn
preceding year. Denmark and Sweden
have respectively GO and 81 per cent,
showing a slight diminution. Rus
STA, whose proportion was 2.54 pc
cent in 1878, has now 2.29 From a
financial point of view. the situation
is considerably better than for the
preceding period, the deficit being bu.
S108,000 against s245, 0c0. The receipts
have increased about rs per cent and
the expenses diminished per cent.
The report brings out the fact that as
the Kiel canal has been constructel
mainly from strategic point of view
it is not to be expected that it will
give any considerable profit; never
theless, the constant increase in the
revenue leads one to expect that tho
receipts may in time come to equal
and even exceed the expense OF main
tenance.

the Grand Hotel, where their man had
his headquarters, and until late in the
night he was cheered and feted, and
wished good luck b. thousands of peo-
pie. A hasty ban. stand was erected
on First avenue near the Grand Hotel
and band concert was given until 10
o'clock, when the Cummins special
train left for Des Moines.
Leaving the City.
By 10 o'clock the majority of the
delegates and visitors had left the city,
and it was getting back to its normal
condition. What is perhaps the most
wonderful thing about the whole affair
was the able manner in which Cedar
Rapids took care of it's guests. There
was no complaint of any kind.
Press Well Taken Care OF.
Especially was the press we'll taken
care of. Headquarters had been ar
ranged for in the Jim Block where
desks and typewriters were provided
for all. The arrangements for the
press at the auditorium were not such
as satisfied everybody, but it was prob
ably the best that could be done under
the circumstances.
The Outdoor Lobby.
The idea of stretching canvas over
First avenue for block long to ar
range for an outdoor lobby was very
popular idea, and had much to do with
taking care of the large crowds of del.
egates who wanted to get together and
talk business. 1t provided place for
them out OF the sun and as many men
could get together as wanted to.

ests of Mr.. Cummins, and when they
saw the prize within their reach. they
were more insistent than ever, and at
the slightest excuse they would start
demonstration that ended only when
another began.
To the credit of the Cummins man
ayers, however, it may be said their
work was done openly and above
board. They used every effort to
swing votes to their man, and that they
were successful shows they went into
the fight fully organized and with con.
fidence.
Pandemonium Reigned.
When the result of the ballot for
governor had been announced pande
monium reigned for fifteen minutes;
delegates were on their feet; hats
coats and umbrellas went into the air
and the galleries, catching the inspir'
alton, took up the work of the wild
men on the floor and the convention
hall resembled 10000 furies turned
loose. Chairman Byers raped again
and again for order, but when the dem
onstration would partly subside in one
part of the house it was taken up again
in another and the vast host joined to
gether in another outbreak. 1t was
only after the enthusiastic people had
worn themselves out by their shouting
and demonstrations of joy that By.
ers succeeded in restoring order, and
the roll call for lieutenant governor
proceeded.
But one ballot for this man had beer
taken, when the committee who had
been appointed for the purpose, head
ed by big policeman came down thu
center aisle leading Mr.. Cummins, the
successful candidate for governor.
Crazy Again.
Again the big crowd went crazy
This time the opposition appeared tc
take part in the manifestations of joy
with possibly one exception, part OF
the sixth district. Mr.. Cummins was
lifted on the platform, and after he
had received an ovation such as bu;
men receive in a lifetime, he took {
seat and the ballot on lieutenant gov
ernor was continued. After the result
of the first ballot had been announced
Mr.. Cummins was introduced. HI
spoke for about ten minutse. In thi.
short impromptu speech the success
full candidate made many friends. He
spoke in strong, solemn manner
making a plea for unity, and asking
the republican party to work with one
idea, that of victory. He prophesiet
one of the grandest republican majori
ties ever known next November ant
promised to do his full share toward
helping swell the number. Mr.. Cum
minis is an eloquent man. He has goot
command of language. He made al
impassioned speech, and the Grove
was carried off it's feet. When he fir
ished talking he was escorted back t,

republican. But it is an especially
high and distinguished one to be re-
publican of the state of Iowa. Our
delegation in congress led by that
master-spirit in craftsmanship, has
the counsel of the nation. Our state
administration in years past eXtorted
and commanded the admiration and
confidence of our people. The repub-
lican party has a part of which we
ought to be and of which we are splen-
didly proud and future in which we
have an everlasting confidence. 1t
meets every new problem with cour-
age to grasp it with intelligence and
to solve it righteously. 1t has his
tory that enables it to point with pride
to those issues that have been SO we'll
settled. Its history makes it the pow
er of the republic. 1t is indeed the
hope of the world. 1t is an anchor to
good government; it is the guarantee
of prosperity; it is the harbinger of
peace, good will, good government and
fellowship among the people of the
EARTH and if can add one 1.-THE to it's
strength shall reckon my life as well

Thanking you for the attention again
and for the honor you have conferred
upon me, and promising you what lit

greatest victory in the annals of our
party, l bid you good afternoon.

Major Mahon received but two votes
getting them from Appanoose. When
it got down to Wapello county, it was
seen that it was useless to vote for
him, and the delegation split. Cum.
Minis got seven of the votes, while the
remainder went to Trewin and Harri-
man. A number of nearby counties
had promised to support the popular
Ottumwan, but after the vote on the
credentials committee minority report
had been taken, it was seen that it
would be useless to ask them to do So
and they were told to vote as they
pleased.

by the Iowa State band, they marched
from one end of town to the other,
shouting and cheering, and with doz-

Iron Works Strikers.

Editor vertiser:-According to an
evening paper asserting that six ma
chinists had arrived to work in the Ho-
nolulu Iron Works a correction should
be made, stating that only three have
put in an appearance, and that they are
not DESTROYS of working for the said
firm since they have been made ac
quainted with the true state of affairs.
Before leaving San Francisco they were
informed by r. Scott that there was no
strike nor walk-out on at the Honolulu
Iron Works, and that they would not
be expected to go to work if there were,
he himself stating that, if he were SINH
larly placed, he would refrain from
working.
After becoming thoroughly acquaint-
ed with the causes Of the trouble here,
the new arrivals have decided to cast
in their lot with the local lodge of ma
chinists and refrain from working,
thereby winning for themselves the re-
spect and esteem of all honorable citt-
