CHAMBERLAIN GOING TO AFRICA.
Colonial Secretary Will Visit Scenes Of
Recent Conflict.

London, Oct. 27.-The gravity OF the
situation in South Africa is at last rec
cgnized by the government. Colonial
Secretary Joseph Chamberlain has de-
scided to proceed to South Africa to
examine on the spot the problems pre-
scented by the termination of the war
and the settlement of affairs in the new
British colonies.
The announcement has caused the
Utmost surprise in political circles 1t
is tolerably certain that if the situation
had not been one of peril the colonial
secretary would have left the whole
matter In the hands of Lord Miner.
The feeling between the British and
Dutch in Cape Colony just now is said
Ito be more bitter than it was in the
days before the war. Transvaal and
Free State colors are Worn freely in
Dutch towns of Cape Colony and sedi-
ton Is openly preached.
The loyalists are naturally alarmed
at this state of things, and Sir Gordon
6prigg is unable to stem the agitation
in favor OF a suspension of the consti-
tuition.
In all probability the situation In the
Transvaal is causing the government
even greater anxiety, and the colonial
Office announcement must be read with
the statement made by the chancellor
OF the exchequer in the house Of COM
mons last week that there ts no inten-

BRONZE MERCURY RESTORED.
French Expert Succeeds in Pieeins To-
aether Broken Statue.

Athens. Oct. 27. - The beautiful
bronze statue Of Mercury, found at the
bottom of the sea near the island OF
Anticithera, south of Cape Matapan, IN
the spring Of 1901, has been pieced to-
srether by NJ. Andre. French expert.
The task has been performed SO Well
that Ii is difficult to believe that the
statue was reconstructed from numer-
GUS fragments.

ID considered to rival the marble Mer-
curry OF Praxitiles. found at Mount
OLYMPIA in 1877, which has hitherto
been deemed the most beautiful statue
IN the world.
Apart from its singular beauty it has
a peculiar value as being the only ex-
3tant example of an undoubted original
bronze statue Of the fourth century be-
fore Christ. Other bronzes and marbles
were found at the same time as the
Mercury, but the marbles were so cor
roded and eaten away as to be value
less. The remains We're found also of
the ship in which this cargo of art
treasures was being borne when it was
wrecked. The treasures were undoubt-
odly loot that had been acquired by
some Roman conqueror, who is gener-
ally believed to have been Sulla.

The Directory People Figure II at
e1,515.
Special to Times-Republican.
Des NIoines Oct. 27.-The r. Z. Polk
directory company figures the popula
tion of Des Moines at 91,515 according
to the directory for 1908 just COM
pleted.
One year ago the Polk directory of
Des Moines contained S6,S00 names.
Five per cent of these were deducted
for firm addresses. duplicates, etc, and
the accepted multiple of two and one
half persons for each directory address
gave the city population of S7,40O. .
gain of 3,4io over the preceding year.
This year the directory will contain
a total of 2S,942 addresses, gain of
2,142 addresses as compared with q.
gain of but 1,149 in the preceding year
This year Timothy O'Brien. local man
ager for the directory company, has
decided that it is best to deduct 6 pes
cent from; the total of names for firm
addresses, duplicates, etc, because of
the unusual number of agency ad-
dresses, ETC., in the city. After doing
this, and using the accepted multiple
of two and one-half. he announces
that the population Of the city is ap-
proximately 91,515, a gain of Ais for
the year, as against gain of 3,440 in
the preceding year.
Mr.. O'Rrien said: ut has always
been our custom to deduct per cent
in all cities Tor duplicates, firm ad-
dresses, etc, and to use the multiple
two and one-half. but I have deducted
6 per cent here this yaar WISHING tu
allow for the large number of agency
addresses we have. In the 100 or more
cities in which our company gets out
an annual directory we have found by
comparison with state and federal CEN
suses that the multiples are justifable
and other directory companies have
come to use the same muitiples. We
are satisfied that our figures are APP
proximately correct and that the city
has Q population exceeding 100000.

Admiral O'Neil, Chief of the
Naval Bureau Tells of the
Navy's Wants
sum OF ;1s,,ss,ooo is DESIRED
Special Stress Laid on the Necessity
of Constant Improvement Of the
Gunners on Our Rattleships-What
Has Been Done and Is Doing in the
Matter Of Ordinance.

Washington, Oct. 27.-Admiral O'Neil,
chief of the naval bureau. in his annual
report made public today, says the bu-
reau wants S13,1S3,O0O next year. ten
million Of which he devoted to arms
and armament for the new ships.
The bureau is preparing a new type
OF three-inch gun, 50-caliber in length
and OF semi-automatic character. to
replace all the guns Of this size now in
use in the navy. The admiral says that
for the first time in years the manu-
facture Of armor has progressed in a
satisfactory manner, 1912 tons having
been delivered at the various ship
yards during the year. with prospects
OF largely increasing deliveries. No i'm
provement worth speaking Of seems to
be made in the quality of the armor of
late. Guns. powder and projectiles
have each made a decided advance.
rendering 1t all the more necessary
that there be an improvement in quail
aty. The most interesting event during
the year in connection with projectiles
is the development of the new type Of
shell, combining the advantages OF ar
NOR piercing with the common shell.
Requirements for these shells on test
are that at the prescribed velocity they
shall completely perforate. unbroken.
composition plate. hard-faced armor OF
certain caliber In thickness, and then
be In condition for effective bursting.
] A novel device tried during the year
was the "Tracer," which renders shells
visible during the night to the gunner.
'but invisible to persons at the target,
this being accomplished by the inser-
tion of burning composition In the
base OF the shell.
Admiral O'Neil has much to say re-.
epecting speed versus armorment. He
argues that the ship Is naturally COM
promise between various necessities
ana says: .'The best vessel is not nec-'
essarily the one tha. can most quickly
get In or out Of battle, or keep out OF
battle, but is rather the one that can
remain in battle long after she gets
thru" The last chapter of the report
ii devoted to the urgent plea for better
instruction Of officers and men IN gum
nery. O'Neil wants more and better gun
pointers and especially urged the young
ofYicers each to take up at least one
feature of ordnance work and to mas
ter it thoroughly. AS showing how
Thoroughly the work of improving the
eunners is going on, 1t is stated that
three battleships of the North Atlantic
suuadron alone expended for target

quarter of q million dollars worth Of
ammunition.

Senator Allison AZ Mason Civ

with these experiences to guide us,
1t seems to me not wise now to enter
upon a general revision of the tariff,
hazard the disruption of business con-
ditions, now so satisfactory. So rap
idly do conditions change as respects
the markets and production, not only
in our country, but thruout the civilized
world, that 1t may be wise to enter up
on such a project after 1904, when the
two policies controlling the two great
parties shall again be submitted to the
American people.
."This does not imply that changes
should not be made in the meantime
and in the near future to correct in.
equaIities where they now exist because
Of the changed conditions Of produce
ton, or because of domestic monopo.
lies that appear to be perverting the
benevolent purposes of the tariff from
healthy domestic competition 20 selfish
greed by controlling prices and limiting
production for that purpose. These
changes should be made as far as prac-
ticable thru reciprocal treaties sug-
gested in the war of 1897. thereby en-
larging our markets. President McKin-
ley expressed this view happily in his
last speech at Buffalo saying that
where duty was no longer needed for
revenue or protection 1t might be used
to enlarge our markets. abroad and
thereby furnish additional employment
for our laborers at home.
The statutary rule to guide changes
is we'll stated in the platform of 1896,
that in the reasonable application of
protection it must be just, fair and inn
partial. equally opposed to foreign con-
troll and domestic monopoly, to section
al discrimination and individual favor
itism.'
THE republican convention In this
state in its platform of last year and
again this year gave expression to these
views as thus expressed in the national
platform of 1896. and reafffrmed in 1900,
negativing the idea of general revis-
ion but favoring such changes in the
tariff from time to time as become adj
visible thru the progress OF our indus
tries and their changing relations to the
commerce of the world The Iowa plat
form also favors the accomplishment of
these changes thru reciprocity treaties
where practicable, and also favors
necessary changes to check monopoly
where the policy of protection has been
perverted from its original purpose to
establish monopoly. So that the party
is committed to needed changes be-
cause of changed conditions, or when
used to shelter monopoly these changes
being made so as not to impair
the general principle of protection"
