PALMISTRY
DEPEw OPENS CAMPAIGN.
Representative Payne Also Speaker
at Carnegie Hall.

A dispatch from New York last night
says; Senator Chauncey NJ Depew and
congressman Serene Z. Payne Were the
speakers tonight at a republican mass
meeting held in Carnegie Hall to open the
state campaign and to ratify the nomina-
lions made at the Saratoga convention
The congressman, after paying a tribute TO
the administrations of President Roosevelt
and Gov. Odell, discussed state issues and
the country's prosperity. on the question
of trusts he said there was much confu-
sion in the minds of the people IL was in
disputable that some corporations had ex-
listed which had oppressed the people. but
there were more corporations. misnamed
trusts. which had done much for the conn
try. In another part of his address he said:
The republican party stands by the tar
if Not that We believe in the soundness
of any particular set of schedules. but L
say that the Dingley tariff bill has done
more for the prosperity of this country
IMAM any other bill that was ever passed"
senator Depew dwelt in detail on a num-
Der of state questions, which he asserted
Gov. Odell had handled in satisfactory
manner to all the people of the state and
then took up the republican policy of the
past i've years. He praised the way in
which the Spanish war had been hand ed:
called attention to the prosperity of the
country; lauded the party's record in Cuba
and the Philippines. and said that all of the
rtsultS of the partys endeavors in this line
had been carried to a successful issue He
devoted the rest of his address to discus
sion of the trust problem. The senator
serted that in proposing to dissolve the
combinations of capital the democratic
party makes no suggestion or provision for
the cataclysm which would follow "in the
suspension of industries, in the paralysis of
employment and in the financial disasters
from the overthrow of our present methods
other unknown scheme
Senator Depew advocated a ministry of
commerce. He opposed any proposed repeal
of the protective tariff and praised Presi-
dent McKinley's policy and the manner in
which 1t has been carried out by President
Roosevelt.

BIRDSALL FOR REVISION
Speaker Henderson's Successor Devotes
Letter Of Acceptance to Tariff

speaker denderSon'S Successor Deyotes
Letter Of Acceptance to Tariff.
Judge b. P. Birdsall. in accepting the re-
publican nomination for Congress In the
thlrd Iowa district. to succeed Speaker
Henderson. says in his letter of acceptance:
The republican party of Iowa does not
propose to abate one jot or little of its faith
In the essential principle or principles of
protection. 1t does believe that the oues
ton OF rates Is practical one to be de-
termined and governed by the conditions of
time and production, and that nothing sa
cred attaches to a mere table of rates,
which should be readjusted to meet the
change in conditions as they arise In the
industrial progress of the country.
That monopolfes in the form of combi-
nations of capital to control production and
prices exist in this country is an admitted
fact They are born, not of the protective
policy of the republican party, but of the
greed and selfishness of men. Trusts exist
in countries where trade is absolutely free
as well as In this country, where the policy
of protection prevails, as witness. in Great
Britain, where hundreds of combinations
with millions of capital are in existence
But monopolies, wherever found, are a
common enemy of all. The republican
party of Iowa believes in the greatest good
to the greatest number and will not per-
NIT the policy of protection to become a
shield for the greed and avarice of man.
whether presented In the form of trusts
individual, joint stock corporate exist
ence, nor a shelter beneath which design
ing corporations shall be able to Cypress
the people Of this country. Whenever such
men or corporations have gained such con-
troll of the production of and market for
dutiable products that the price of the
same Is regulated by them and not by home
competition Iowa republicans propose to
destroy such monopoly by applying the
principles of reciprocity and by so readjust-
ing the tariff to force such combIna-
tons into competition with the worlds mar
kets. Whatever revision or readjustment
may be made by the republican party it
will be made upon the lines of protection to
American labor, while the democratic party.
both by its state and national platforms, is
committed to a tariff for revenue only.
The two policies widely variant as
the heavens and the earth"

War Chariots Of Today.
m the New York Tribune.

Military experts inform us that tests of
the effectiveness of operation with self
motors are now enlisting more attention In
the European war departments than ever
before. Automobiles are unquestionably de-
structive enough in times of peace unless
they are prudently kept in check and prop
erly governed. II squadrons Of these ma
chimes should be let loose in battle. with
their utmost energies unrestrained. no
doubt they would work havoc, but it may
be disputed whether they would do more
harm to friend or to foe. The owners and
occupants might be in almost as much dan
ger as the enemy.
But IL there to be new cry hereafter
when nations engage In strife? Instead Of
'.L.et slip the dogs Of war; VIII It be LET

is BACK AT HIS DESK.
President Returns to Washington
and Wndes Into the Accu-
muIated Business.

Washington, Nov. 20. - President
Roosevelt arrived here at eight o'clock
Friday morning over the Southern rail-
road. A little crowd was al the station
to welcome his return. As he left the
train he shook hands with the engineer
and fireman and thanked them for the
safe run they had made. The presi-
dent AMI Secretary Cortelyou were
driven direct to the white house.
Before ten o'clock the president
reached his Office in the executive
building. He began at once to dispose
of a mass of business which had accu-
INFLATED during his absence.
During the next four or five days, as
opportunity may offer, the president
will put the finishing touches upon his
annual message to congress. 1t is I'M
derstood that the message will be sent
to congress on the second day of the
approaching session, Tuesday, Decem-
Der 2, owing to the fact that deaths of
members of both houses have occurred
tate an adjournment on Monday. The
document is almost completed, but
some points Of ii are yet to be written
finally and the whole revised.
Several of the leaders in both
branches of congress have been in
vited by the president to call on him
at the executive Offices next Monday.
He will discuss with them the fea-
lures of his Forthcoming message re-
lating to trusts and the tariff. The
president has, as result of one of
his conferences with republican lead
ers, tried to facilitate the work of
the approaching session OF congress
and pave the way for reconciliation
Of any differences that may arise be-
tween the two houses. @

SENSATION IN PARIS.
Young American Woman Shot In
Apartments of Rich Russian
NObIeman.

Paris, Nov. 21.-Helen Gore, said to
be an American, was killed by re-
volver shot Wednesday in the apart
ment occupied by Jean de Rydzenski.
a singer of the Imperial theater of
st. Petersburg. De Rydzenski at first
said Miss Gore committed suicide,
but subsequently he declared the re-
volver went off accidentally.
Consul General Gowdy is person
ally investigating the death of Miss
Gore, who was completing her mu-
steal education here and resided in
the fashionable quarter of Passy.
When found Wednesday evening the
victim was unconscious and had a
bullet wound over her right eye.
Two doctors were summoned to at
tend to her, but she died without re-
gaining consciousness. The police
have accepted the theory of the
young Russian singer who was in the
room at the time that the shooting
was the result of an accident during
scuffle for possession of the weap-
on. De Rydzenski comes of rich
and noble Russian family. He Is the
son of Russian general and he has
uncles who hold high positions in the
government service.

COUNTRY LAID WASTE.
CONGRATULATIONS of Lives
Reported Lost.

San Francisco, Nov. 2O.-The first
of the refugees from the devastated
lands Of Guatemala arrived Wednes-
day on the Pacific mail steamer City of
Para. They came from the districts
from the inland sea and travelled over
a country laid waste by sand, ashes
and pumice before reaching railway
station. From the latter places they
made the journey by rail 10 Cham
perico and there took the steamer to
San Francisco. They sailed on No
vember Z, when the volcano was still
smoking and rumbling Of thunder and
flashes Of lightning gave evidence of
more eruptions to come. These people
fled from their plantations in fear for
their lives. They escaped TO the sea-
side with little more than the cloth
ing they wore, transportation being so
difficult as 10 preclude the carrying OF
baggage.
The refugees confirm stories Of loss
OF life. They say that the victims for
the most part are Indians. They had
not heard Of any white people being
lost. Thousands Of Indians were as
phyxiated or buried in the sand.
Miles Of plantations are under ashes,
and absolute ruin Is the lot Of many
planters whose all was invested in the
fincas. One refugee comes from
within a half an hours ride OF Gen.
Barrillos and brings information that
the general and his family are safe.
The refugees state that II is not the
crater Of Santa Maria that is in action,
