NEWS BROKEN IN DIES MONIES
Complete Surprise to All the Leaders,
AS to the Succession.


Special to The Journal
Des Moines, Iowa, Sept. 17.-Thes an
nouncement that Speaker D. B. Henderson
had Withdrawn from the race for congress
was received here with establishment by
all Of the republican leaders. None had
an inkling that anything of the kind was
going to happen. No one suggested for
a moment that Henderson could have
been beaten Even his enemies conceded
that he would easily be elected over Gov
ernor Boies, although the latter is very
popular. - -, 49, -.
Attorney General Mullen Of Waterloo,
declared himself dumfounded. ..
Il am unable to assign any reason for
this action on the part of the speaker, -
said he. He would have been trium-
phantly reelected this fall
Lafe Young of Des Moines, Railroad
Commissioner Brown of Sheldon and 9TH
er state officials were alike amazed. Con-
gresham Lacey would not believe the ru-
NOR until it was borne in upon him by
mass of testimony.
why, I had only two days ago ar
ranged with the speaker to deliver an adj
dress in his district" said Major Lacey;
this seems Incredible
Governor -Cummins said he could not
understand the speakers being out of
harmony on the tariff question, as he
had taken a stand for the Iowa platform
at the recent conference and also in per-
sOnal letters to him.
It is probable that the vacancy on the
congressional ticket will be filled by the
congressional committee. A Waterloo
| man may be selected, as Governor Boies
is from that place. Senator o. B. Court
right was a candidate against Speaker
Henderson for the nomination last spring
but withdrew before the convention. He

FIRST CATCH THE HARE"
Too Early to Discuss the SpeakershI
Says Uncle Joe.

Special to The Journal
Danville, ILL.,, Sept. 17.-Congressman
Cannon, when told of Speaker Hendersons
withdrawal from the congressional race
and asked his opinion, Of the effect on
the speakership, said: -.s-...- l.
II am very much surprised to hear that
General Henderson has Withdrawn from
the race and know nothing and can sur
mise nothing of his reasons for such act
ton. In fact, I can hardly believe that
he has withdrawn AS to the speaker
ship question it Is absurd to talk about
that now. The house of representatives
that will lelect the next speaker will not
be chosen until the 4th of November and
when chosen will not organize and elect
a speaker unless called in special ses-
sion, until December, 1903. The first
thing to do is to elect republican con-
gress. The speakership will ltake care of
itself, or in other words If you desire to
make hare pie, first catch the hare" s.

I am not in harmony with a great many Of the

gresham for Speaker.

Special to The Journal,
Chicago, Sept. 17.-With the news that
Speaker Henderson had declined to enter
the race for reelection to congress came
a boom for Congressman Cannon of Dan
vile for speaker. The Illinois delegation,
it is said, will be solid for him, and if the
Iowa statesman persists in his deter
mination not to accept the nomination
the Cannon boom will be carried to aWsh-
ington at once.
This was the sentiment expressed last
night by members of congress, republican
congressional nominees. and state poll
ticians interviewed by representatives OF
the press.
Every politician approached expressed
surprise when told that the Iowa states
man had declined to enter the race. They
were skeptical and believed that Mr.
Henderson would yet accept the nomina
ton.

 once had a trainer, an old Irish man, who had served in a British regi- ment in India and who knew the ways of tigers in every detail. He taught three of them to do more work in the show arena than have ever seen done by tigers. I have seen him sitting down between two of them at rest times during rehearsals and examining their claws to see if any of them were sore or split. Any one who has ever tried that with even house cat knows that it strikes the feline nature as an unwarrantable familiarity, but they never did more than show their teeth and whine, and that in half playful ness.
 One day he got very drunk. I had never known him to transgress before. Before he was noticed on his return to the cage he had gone in with his ti- gers and fallen in a heap on the floor. The other keepers tried to take him out of the cage, but to have done so would have meant bitter and bloody fight with the three striped ones. They guarded him all night in his drunken slumber. The next time he put them to work, however, they baked, and be could neither persuade nor drive them. They had ceased to trust him, or some thing of that sort, and his usefulness with them was at an end completely F. Bostock in Frank Leslie's.
