Des Moines. May Ex-senator Trewin,
Of Allamakee, brought his gubernatorial
boom to the capital city yesterday for
inspections; and among those who We're
permitted to inspect it there was general
concurrence that it was in fairly good
repair, considering that he has no dele
gates on his string yet. The senator is
confident and enthusiastic. He doesn't
say anything for publication that gives
any clue to his plans or purposes. but
privately among the politicians he says
.hat 1t is evident now that the fight Will
finally simmer down to contest be-
tween himself and Mr.. Cummins. SEN
ator Trewin called on many of the polls
lticians while here, tho the immediate
cause Of his appearance here was tha
session OF the supreme court. Incident-
ally it Was a good time to drop in, just
as another shift was being made in the
alignment of factions in the party in
the state. The opponents of Mr.. Cum
MINIS are not Yet ready 10 acknowledge
publicly that they realize what mis-
take they made in attempting TO make
us. of the name of Major Conger but
privately they do admit it. and in their
conferences they are looking about for.
Way TO escape their dilemma and still
keep up the appearance Of a hard fight
against the Cummins hurricane. Major
Conger himself is going on the even
tenor of his way He has not been
touched. He stands right where he did.
and is able TO say the same things over
again. He stated in New York city the
other day, and was 50 quoted in the
New York Tribune that he does not eN-
| pect the nominal tion 10 come TO him, bu,
| that hc}expects TO return TO China He
| does not feel called upon to say more.
The homecoming of acongers exposed
one Of the rankest Of the fakes of the
anti-Gumnins people. They caused to
be published the day before the caucus
es in Dallas county that Conger had
/ written letter which was in effect j
letter pleading for support from his elf
\ home county. No persons with CONNER
sense and familiar with Conger corr
have believed the fake but its purpose

done nothing. He didn't write any such

CORNELL WAS WARNED
MAI. FoOTE CAUTIONED CAPTAIN
DAY BEFORE MASSACRE
Intense Feeling Throughout Army
Because Authors of Massacre
Were Pacificos-VigiI-.
ance Increased.

MANILA, Oct 6-Maj. Morris Foote
of the Ninth United States infantry, who
has returned here from the island of Sa-
mar, was in Balinga the day before the
disaster to Company c. He says that
Capt. ConneI had been fully warned and
had taken what he (Maj. Foote) consid-
cred every necessary precaution. In
formation that a plot was brewing
among the Filipinos came to Maj. Foote
through a priest, who said it was the
plan of the populace at North Balinga
and Basay, to attack the garrisons and
Basay garrison was to be attacked from
a cockpit in the rear of the barracks. Or
ders were Immediately given to demoI-
ish the cockpit and extra guards were
stationed.
There is intense feeling throughout
the army because of the massacre,
which would not be the case to any ex-
tent had it been the work of ordinary
insurgents. The latter might have been
expected to commit such an outrage.
Feeling is particularly intense in military
circles, because the authors of the mas
taken the oath of allegiance and many
of them, including the presidente of Bal
angiga. were actually holding Office
Some of the after effects are already
shown at many points, particularly at
Baulan and Cutucan, in the provinces of
Batangas and Manila, where disaffeetion
is manifesting itself, although it is no:
likely to be allowed to go far.
On the other hand the officers and
troops at all the garrisons throughout the
archipelago feel that the disaster con-
veys lesson to themselves of the neces-
sity for increased vigilance.

1t has been said that a man must go
away from home to get the news. In its
issue of Sept. 6, 1901, lie Matin, Paris

Workers. Following is a translation:
These Americans are decidedly insati-
able. While we are still using steam Ell
gines for our railways they have long
ago tasted of the benefits of electrical
traction, and now they are commencing
to abandon electricity for compressed
air.

American calls power station some
thing like a gas factory. IT Is compressed
1,500 to 1900 kilos per square centimeter
that it occupies. 1t is then transferred
ON board the locomot1vc, where it IS
stored in a large steel tank, which re-
places the boiler. There it is further
more compressed by the use of reduc-
ton valves, and, reaching certain pres

for use.

RELAPSE ON BOERSE
THE WEEK ENDED WITH HEAVY
FALL IN INDUS
TRIALS
TONE OF PRESS rs DEsPoNDENT
Revived Tendency to Invest Not
Taken AS az wholly Favorable
Symptom--.American Railways
in Better Demand.

BERLIN Oct1 6.-The first half of last
week brought "a moderate recovery in
values, for which no sufficient cause was
onered in the reports of the industrial
centers. The result was partly explain
ed by the factf that many. holders had
sold out beforeothe monthly settlement
fearing deara money and low quotations
and had then repurchased, causing an ar
tlficial demand which frightened the
shorts into covering. During the latter
part of the week the boerse relapsed into
its former pessimistic mood. Yesterday
fall in industrials was quite heavy. In
/ addition tosthe rumor regarding the tinan-
cial difficulties of the Dortmund Union
iron company, which it is reported Herr
Krupp is about to buy and rumors that
the company is about to reduce it's cap
ital, Nsthe boerse was depressed over the
disappointing dividends of various in
dustrials combinations just formed. The
Westphalian Steel works, at Bochum, and
the Schoenherr Loom factory at Chem
nitz. passed their dividends. The former
paid II per cent and the latter Is per
cent dividends last year. ae,;., I'm
The decline in prices also depressed
values Some of the principal kinds of
iron have fallen marks per ton on the
Dusseldorf boerse since Sept 5, and the
cheaper qualities have fallen ! mark per
ton.
the coke syndicate has already decided
to reduce prices in 1902 to Is and possibly
IA marks, and also that the great iron
men say they must reduce to II or 10
as otherwise the coke syndicate will
have to reduce the output to one-half.
The foregoing conditions were partly
counteracted by the Harpenter Coal divi-
dend, which proved to be IL per cent,
as against II for the corresponding pre-
vious dividend.
Generally speaking the finances of the
week were somewhat higher. Neverthe-
less the boerse and the financial press
regard the situation despondently.
Whoever 'seizes the present moment
to invest" says the Frankfurter Zeitung
must reckon son the probability that
such purchases under existing circum-
stances may bring more or less loss
The Vossische Zeitung also utters a
word of warning against drawing favora-
BILE conclusions from the revived ten
dency to invests American railways were
in better demand, as were also Cana
dams Bank stocks gained a point or
two during theweek and ocean transport
tation shares also improved. The public
is now buying these securities.
The Vossiehe Zeitung asserts that a
price agreement was signed yesterday
by the principal zinc producers in Eu-
rope.
