IOWA FACTION FIGHT WHILE HE
REMAINS ~ THE CABINET
IBY TELEGRAPH TO TIE TRIBUNE.


Washington. Nov. G.-Secretary Shaw's atten-
sion was called this afternoon TO the report
from Iowa that he had recently had a long con-
ference with Speaker Henderson at Des AIoines
which had resulted in the understanding that
the Speaker was 10 enter the race for the nom
ination for Governor in Iowa next year, against
Governor A y. Cummins Mr.. Shaw said he
knew nothing Of the report that Speaker Hen
derson was 10 run for Governor. except what
he had seen in the newspapers. He said he had
not seen the Speaker since the adjournment OF
Congress. and had received only one letter from
him, thar being in reply 70 the letter he wrote
resretting the withdrawal Of the Speaker from
The campaign for Congress.
II Speaker Henderson should decide to make
3 hght for the nomination for Governor. IL
would probably lead 10 bitter factional con-
rroversy in Iowa between the element OF the
party headed by Governor Cunlmins, which IA
'ors material reduction In tariff taxes and the
element headed by Senators Allison and Dolli-
ver and Speaker Henderson. which Is IN favor
n letting the tariff alone. Any active part by
Secretary Shaw in such 2 controversy is i'm
probable. unless he first gets out of the Cabinet
as President Roosevelt has discoura ged factonal
ccntgoVersies between Republicans far as IL
has beer IN his power 10 do so.

the Trans-Alaskan company iron Seattle about March 1.

SeaLLle aDOut March ].
 The company'S headquarters will be in Seattle and the officers will make this city their home. General Mana ger Granger is already located here and others will follow.
 The Trans-A aska company lays great stress ou the fact that they have already spent over Sl50,000 in Seattle. Their supplies have all been bought in this city. notwithstanding the fact that some of the prominent stockholders are engaged in business in San Francisco and could have furnished the same supplies. They recognize, they say, the fact that Seattle has the gateway to Alaska, DO matter who owns the road. They are already doing business and proceeding with work in the north. state that by June it will be possible to go by rail over their line as far as Lake Iliamna, Is miles from the coast.
 Again, it is stated that the company asks for no land grant. They state that Alaska has thus far been developed without land grants, and urge the gov ernment's experiences with other sub sdized reads in support of their posi- tiou. The stage has been reached where subsidized enterprises arc not necessary. The capital can be secured without.
 The provision in the bill for the Trans Alaskan grant that as soon as 20 miles of the road is completed 200 sections shall be given is also urged by the rival company. It is stated that there is nothing to prevent 20 miles being constructed into the heart of a rich mineral district, and the con struction stopped, with the consequent acquisition of the mineral land.
 Several members of the chamber also spoke to the proposition. It was charged the Trans-Alaska company was trying to railroad something through the chamber without the knowledge of the other company.
