CAUSED A SENSATION.
News Of Speaker Henderson's With.
draWaI Heard in WASHINGTON.


Washington, Sept. 17.-The dis
patch announcing Speaker Hender-
sons declination of the congressional
nomination caused a sensation in
Washington. Very few public men
are in Washington at this time, but
all here expressed regret that the
speaker had determined on the course
announced in the Dubuque dispatch.
The causes leading up to his de-
c1slon were perhaps as much a mat
ter OF comment as the refusal to stand
for reelection. Public men acknowl-
edge there is a demand in sections Of
the West and Northwest for revision
OF the tariff along certain lines, not.
ably in the cases Of articles whose
manufacture is controlled by the
trusts. Their opinion is that General
HendersOn's decision will make this
issue more acute and suggested that
the president is comforting at this
time with: leading senators from the
East and West, presumably on the
very question which has forced Gen.
eral Henderson out of line with his
party in Iowa. The speaker always
has been a straightout Republican on
tariff matters and at the last session
OF congress the general understanding
was that he opposed the suggestion
advanced for tariff revision along GER
tain lines on articles controlled by the
trusts.
General Henderson already had en-
tered into the coming campaign and
it. is stated here that both Governor
Cummins and Senator Dolliver, each
OF whom are said to be in favor of
tariff revision, were to have
Stumped the District for Him.
The Iowa Republican state convention
held in the latter part of July took
| strong grounds on the question of the
reduction of the tariff on goods whose
production in this country is control
led by trusts, making the following
declaration on that subject:
1--WE favor any modification of the
tariff schedules that may be required
to prevent their affording shelter to
monopoly"
There was great deal of opposition
to this statement but it finally was
adopted by the/ convention. It is
thought here that this plank in the
platform was the one which has raised
the issue in General Henderson's case
and has induced him to withdraw.
Various names are suggested by
Iowa Republicans here as candidates
for the speakers Seat, among them
being Mr.. Courtwright, who formerly
has been in the race for the nominal
ton; c. E. Pickett, Charles Albrook
and J. H. Funk.
Secretary Wilson, of the agricul-
tural department, who comes from
Iowa, was thunderstruck when he
heard of General Henderson's decision,
remarking that it came as rain from
clear sky. He expressed great re-
greet that the speaker has determined
on the course announced, but further
than that he declined to make any
statement for publication.
To Secretary Shaw, of the treasury
| department., whose residence also is
in Iowa, and who is a great friend of
the speaker, the news came with equal
surprise and regret.

SCRAMBLE FOR THE PLACE.
Many Candidates for Delaware Con.
qressional Nomination.

Dover, DEL, Sept. 1.-THE Demo
cratic state convention has nominated
the following ticket:
Representative in congress, Henry
A. Houston; state treasurer, Joseph H.
Hossinger; auditor of accounts, j.
Thomas Lowe.
The contest hinged on the nomina-
ton for congress, Houston defeating
ex-Congressman L. Irving Handy by a
majority of two votes. Because of the
split in the Republican ranks the Dem
ocratic leaders claim to be able to
elect their congressional candidate in
November and consequently there was
scramble for the nomination. Each
Of the three counties in the state had
several candidates.

Horrible Death Of Young Man in
North Dakota

Grand Forks, N. D., Sept. 17.-Four
miles south of Osnabrock, on the big
farm of Peter Wild, John Wild, aged
tWenty-one, eldest son OF the proprie-

horrible manner. He was acting as
engineer on his fathers threshing
machine and was making repairs
about the top of the engine. His foot
slipped and he fell into the whirling
fly wheel and his head was torn off
by the cogs of the traction gear. Be-
fore the engine could be stopped
nothing was left of the young man but

There were Democratic contests in
only two districts. In the Eighth a
strenuous fight was made by Marcus L..
Fay of Virginia and Charles d'Autre-
mont, Jr., of Duluth. On the face of
the fragmentary returns the fight was
comparatively close throughout the
district, except in Duluth, where d'Au-
fremont has along way the better end
OF the argument, which probably gives
him the nomination by comfortable
lead. Lind's majority in the Fifth
promises to be landslide. "
Lively Contest in the First.
General reports from the First con-
gressional district show that the con-
test between Tawney and Knatvoid
has awakened the liveliest interest.
Tawney's friends have stood by him
and have apparently carried him safe
ly through. Late reports say that his
nomination is conceded and that his
majority will be about 1000 according
to the best estimates.

The three-cornered fight between

the most interesting controversy OF
the many in which 24S candidates for

at $40 are foolish, that new coal will
be on hand soon at the regular Septem-

in the various assembly districts in
the boroughs of Manhattan and the
Bronx during the day. Interest in the
outcome of the voting was keeper thar

inasmuch as there were many dis

for the Tammany leadership as against
Frank J. Goodwin, Tammany leader,
and John c. Sheehan, leader of the
Greater New York Democracy. At II
o'clock p. m. the indications were that
Devery's campaign had been success

Magnificent Dolls.

Inree dolls, representing different as
poets OF Paris fashions, have been pre-
sented the three daughters of the EN-
press of Russia, the Grand Duchesses
olga, Tatiana and Xenia. The dolls
were the gift of famous Paris dress
maker, who lent all his skill to making
their attire beautiful and effective. One
doli is dressed for an evening party, in
gown of wheat-colored mousseline de
sole, trimmed with lace of a sage green
shade. The mantle is of beige-colored
cloth, lined throughout with white
satin. White embroidery covers the
lapels. A white gauze toque, adorned
with feathers and diamonds, completes
the costume. The second doll is dressed
as yachtswoman, the costume being
made of white cloth. A small Sweat
er" and golf cape complete the effect.
For the third doll, a dress of the time
of Louis XIV. was selected. The gown
is made of white satin, with garlands
of flowers festooned around the bottom
OF the skirt by combinations of rib
bon. On the corsage flowers are at
tached by velvet bows, and mechlin
lace gives an airy effect to the cos
tune. large picture hat is garlanded
with pompon roses, and the flower eff
feet is carried out even to the white
leather SHOES, which have tiny boquets
attached, instead of ieweled buckles.

Brindisi, Italy, is the gateway to the

and from Paris. London, Berlin and
other parts Of Europe, who thus save
The long voyage of seven or eight days

also, making Paris and Berlin in

When you leave Brindisi going East
you enter classic ground. The Adriatic.
like many other beauties, has Il very
uncertain temper and behaves badly

also THE STORMY Adriatic,' and an old
seaman told me that 1T could kick up

at midnight, so as to reach the opposite
coast in the morning. and there, when
you awaken early in the morning, if
YOU please, YOU can see the sun rise up
on masses OF solid snow that crown
the mountains Of the Albanian coast of
Turkey The land of mythology is be
fore you. You are approaching classic
ground. Every island, every mount

fable or the abode of some god, or a
battlefield that you read about in the

Sailing toward Patras the steamer
from Corfu soon passes the Ambrascian
Gulf, where Octavius laid the founda-
ton of his dynasty in Rome by the
victory over the fleet of his rival, Mark
Antony, and a little farther down is the
island of Levkas, where, according to
the ancient story tellers, Sappho
plunged into the sea because PhaOn did
not return her love. A little farther on
is Ithaca, whose connection with the
Odyssey has made it familiar to every
student of Greek, for the wanderings
and misfortunes, the sufferings and the
fortitude of Ulysses, the king of this
island, have been handed down to US in
one of the most immortal stories of
adventure. His descendants in Ithaca
today are distinguished by their bold
seamanship. their love of home, their
hospitality and their courage, and their
mercantile instincts have made them
rich. The most important product of
the island today is still the strong
aromatic wine which Homer tells us
was then exported to cOnnOisseurs in
Italy and Greece. They show you
where Homer lived in The town of
Stavros, and an ancient staircase cut
in the rock leads past Greek church
to a rectangular forum heWn in the
side of mountain. 1t is surrounded
by seats and appears to have been an
ancient place of worship, but is claimed
to be the place where Homer had a
school.

Nearly every natural phenomenon
upon the island is described in the
Odyssey, even to a stalactite cave to
which any boy in town will lead you
through a vineyard and over stony
goat pastures. The entrance is narrow,
and it is hard work for fat men to
squeeze through, but with a little effort
you can enter a damp chamber about
fifty feet in diameter and thirty feet in
height, from the roof of which hang
numerous stalactites like those to be
seen in Mammoth Cave, Kentucky. If
YOU want to know how it looks read
book 10 of the Odyssey, where Homer
tells of the grotto of the nymphs.
the suitors of Penelope waited for
the return of Telemachus upon a little
island upon the east side of Ithaca,
which stands out with wonderful dis
tinc,ness, and on the Island of Zante.
