CLEVELAND IS
OUT OF THE RACE
Ex-President Makes It Clear
He Will Not Be a Candi-
date Again.
WRITES AN EMPHATIC LETTER
Declares That He Could Not Under
Any Circumstances Consider An
other Nomination at the Hands of
His Party.

New York, Nov. 2S.-Grover Cleve-
land has sent the following letter to
the editor Of the Brooklyn Daily
Eagle:
princeton, Nov. %. 1903.--My Dear
Mr.. McKelway: I have wanted for a
long time to say something which I
think should be said to you before
others. You can never know how
grateful / am for the manifestation Of
kindly feeling toward me on the part
of my countrymen, which your initia.
tive has brought out. Your advocacy
in the Eagle of my nomination for the
presidency came to me as great sur
prise; and 1t has been seconded in
such a manner by democratic senti-
ment that conflicting thoughts OF
gratitude and duty have caused me
to hesitate as to the time and manner
of q declaration on my part concerning
the subject-if such declaration
should seem necessary or proper.
I'm the midst of 1t all, and in full
view of every consideration presented,
I have not for a moment been able,
nor am l now able, to open my mind
to the thought that In any circum-
stance or upon any consideration, l
should ever again become the nominee
of my party for the presidency.
my determination not to do 30 Is
unalterable and conclusive. This you,
at least, ought to know from me, and
l should be glad If the Eagle we're
made the medium of It's conveyance
to the public. Very sincerely yours,
"Groyer Cleveland"

itary faint.
Berlin, Nov. 30.-Notwithstandin
the official bulletins that the kaiser
Is recovering his strength, and des-
pite the fact that he is allowed to
take exercise in the open air. / learn
from a high authority that the en-
peror's condition is critical. The en-
peror's throat troubles are not over.
Indeed. the serious time is yet to
come. The healing of what was first
pronounced to be a benign growth
has been far from satisfactory. 1t Is
said that fresh formation has begun
to manifest itself and that the trouble
Is extending from it's original seat in
the larynx
The announcement made today that
the kaiser, on account of his health
had withdrawn his offer of cup for
transatlantic yatch race in 1904, Is
regarded as an indication that he
does not expect soon, ii ever, to be-
come a well man again.
The medical faculty declines to
discuss the cause publicly, and while
1t is pointed out that DR.. Otto
Schmidt, who recently operated upon
the kaiser's larynx, has returned to
Frankfort, additional confirmation of
the worst fears Is found in the cal
ling of a fourth surgeon in the kais-
er's case. This Is DR.. Gustave Spies
of Frankfort-on-the-M Main, who is a
friend and collaboration of DR.. Schmidt
and almost as well known as he. 1t
is believed that he has been asked
to advise, If not take charge, in the
second operation, whick from indica-
tons, will be of much more extern
sive scope than the first one.
While the kaiser's personal life has
been blameless. there exists a deep
rooted belief that the hereditary faint
of the Honenzollerns the scrofulous
affection that was known in the mid
die ages as kings evil" has marked
him for its own, and many details
are cited to indicate that 1t has man
ifested itself before now although not
so seriously as the presence of throat
LESSONS would indicate.

DRAINAGE Laws DEMANDED.
Northern Iowa Greatly Interested In
Ditch Leulslation.

p
Des Moines, Nov. 30.-The demands
of northern and northwestern Iowa
for drainage legislation is likely to
result in action by the approaching
leg slature. The subject is made of
more IN rect by nearness of the time
Of holding q the Iowa Drainage con-
gress at Ames.
The entire northwestern district of
the state Is apparently girding on its
armor in preparation to demand the
passage or bill which will mitigate
the evils existing at the present time.
According to the present time, the
only way in which the digging of a
ditch can be secured Is to allege 1t is
for sanitary purposes. The farm own
ers dislike to do so because they
frankly say the main object which
they have in view is to till the land
and they have no desire to start out
with false representation.
The claim Of the northern and
northwest Iowans who are principally
interested in ditch legislation Is, that
the end in view warrants the expend-
iture. They insist that the amount
will more than repay the expenditure
of money that would be required and
would warrant the state in enforcing
drastic legislation in making the
drainage Of land possible. No one
seems to have worked the system out,
the plan still being in a chaotic
state, but the fact that no man from
that section of the country comes
to Des Moines without mentioning
that it will take form.
Many prominent men who have
been in Des Moines recently have ex-
pressed their approval Of some such
legislation, and Representative e.
D. Chasse4l of Plymouth Is red hot
for It.
Mr. Chassell, when here gave 1t as
his opinion that he ditch law problem
would be question or moment at the
coming session Of the legislature. "A
number of tho low counties of Iowa"
he said, have been impressed this
year with the needs Of better drain
age as they never were before.
In Hancock county the drainage prob
lem is attracting great attention. The
Iowa drainage law was enacted many
years ago when the low land was
practically worthless, the best lands
selling for only $40 or $50 per acre.
Now the low land Is selling for $50.

to make it productive. 1t is probable

Mr.. Chassell was in consultation
with Professor Kent, owner of the ia.
nous Mud Lake" farm in Hancock

Kent is especially anxious about drain
age legislation, as the future of his
pOSoSSSloIS uSpSuu upOu AlS dDlHLy ~
secure a law which will allow him to
dig ditch deep enough to drain the
low bed of the lake. He Is greatly in
terested in the coming Iowa Drainage
congress, which has been called for
January and 6 at Ames. Several
hundred Iowa farmers and land own.
ers are expected to attend and perfect
plans for legislation. Professor Kent
is endeavoring to secure the Iowa
State college officials, who called the
meeting, to postpone it about two
weeks in order that the members of
the board of supervisors of the var
ious counties may attend. January
and all the county boards will be
in regular session, which will demand
the attendance of the members and
prevent them attending the drainage
congress, while if the latter was held
about January 20 they would be able
to attend.

DOES NOT WANT WAR.
Commissioners Says Colombia Wants
to Settle Without Bioodshed.

to Settle Without Bioodshed.
New York, Nov. 27.-Among the pas
sengers who arrived on board the
steamship Adirondack from Cavanilla
was Francisco Manotas. a lawyer sent
by the republic of Colombia to join
the commissioners who came via New
Orleans few days ago. In an inter.
view last night he said:
Colombia does not want to make
war on Panama. She wishes to make
arrangements looking toward settle.
ment She wishes to regain Panama,
and If not, war, is possible. To say
whether she will make war is a very
hard question to answer. War with
the United States Is not to be consid.
cred"
He continued: "The action of the
United States has been directly
against the treaty in 1916. The govern.
ment of this country guaranteed ths
peace of the isthmus. Under that
treaty the United States had no right
to prevent the landing of Colombian
troops for she goes there to pacify, to
put down an insurrection and to re-
store peace.
1.-The United States has caused all
the trouble in Panama. 1t is she who
has maze the republic of Panama, and
she ought not to prevent the landing
of our troops. Colombia does not
want war. she wants to retake Pana-
ma.
1.-THE canal decision was not brought
about by any consideration of money
to be paid Colombia. The money was
but a little thing. The decision OF
Colombia was brought about on the
question Of the sovereignty OF the
United States over the canal strip.
The United States wanted full sover-
eighty and that was the beginning OF
the trouble.
ct is not true that Colombia took
nearly all of the revenue from Pana.
ma. The trouble, however, was not
brought about by either Colombia's
greed or by her taking the revenue
from Panama If matters were left
to us we would have no trouble in
putting an end to it. You say that
the Panamanians have declared that
they could put 10000 men in the field
against us. Well, that Is certainly So
The next day we could without any
trouble put 100000 in the field against
them"
