THE CONGRESSIONAL SITUATION.

The prospects of very closely con-
tested campaign for the republican
nomination for congressman from the
Fourth district were dispelled last
week by the announcement of the
withdrawal from the race of Hon. j.
E. Blythe, of Mason City. From all
present indications, this withdrawal
means an easy denomination for the
present incumbent, Hon. G. N.
Haugen, of Northwood. The only
candidate now announced against him
is Duncan Rule, of Mason City, and
he is not believed to have any
material strength behind his candidacy

BUOYINC UP THE
END OF SEA
SECTION
Constant Tests Made While the
Cable was Laying Give ASS
uranCe of Pe,feCt Final
Success,

The officers and others on the cable
ship saw the end of their long cable
laying trip in sight yesterday afternoon
when they neared the point where they
were to let go of the line the had car
ried for two thousand miles. Prepara-
tions were made for fastening the cable
end to a buoy the work being kept up
during the night and completed at
about five this morning.
The buoy to which the end of the long
cable was attached is an immense one,
capable of sustaining a weight of 21a
tons. The task of fastening the Line
and dropping over the buoy was very
delicate one, and required much time,
The huge buoy went over into the wa
ter with a tremendous splash, drawing
a four-inch hawser over its gear so fast
and taunt that it caught fire with the
friction. But there was no accident.
The buoy rested on the heavy swell of
the ocean, and the Silvertown, un-
connected with San Francisco for the
