of my countrymen, which your initia-
tive has brought out Your advocacy
in the Eagle of my nomination for the

prise; and It has been seconded in
such manner by democratic senti.
ment that conflicting thoughts OF
gratitude and duty have caused me
to hesitate as to the time and manner
of declaration on my part concerning
the subject--if such a declaration
should seem necessary or proper.
I'm the midst Of 1t all. and in full
view of every consideration presented.
l have not for moment been able.
nor am l now able, to open my mind
to the thought that In any circum-
stance or upon any consideration.
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
should be glad II the Eagle were

Des Moines, Nov. 27.-The complete
unofficial returns or the vote on gov
ernor. received at the Office Of the Sec
rotary of state, which were completed
late Wednesday afternoon, show that
Governor Cummins polled a plurality
OF $1,000 in the last election. This is
the first authoritative announcement
Of the vote on governor, all others
being approximate estimates. Gov
ernor Cummins received the largest
vote Of any man on the ticket. His
vote was sS2 votes in excess of the
vote cast for Lieutenant Governor Her
riott. and the completion of the can
wasting Of the official vote on Judge Of
the supreme court, shows the gov
ernor's vote is in excess of that of c.
A. Bishop, chief justice Of the supreme
court. by $50.
Governor Cummins' total vote was
23S,79S, giving him his plurality Of
10000 out Of total of 1854. Lieu

61.97S, q larger plurality than that

EMPEROR IS NOT WELL.
Believed to Be AFFLICTED With Hsredt
itary Taint.

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 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 its original seat in
the larynx
The announcement made today that
the kaiser, on account Of his health
had withdrawn his offer Of cup for
a TRANSATLANTIC yatch race In 1904. IL
regarded as an indication that he
does not expect soon, IL ever, to be-
come well man again.
The medical faculty declines to
discuss the cause publicly, and while
1t ia 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 fourth surgeon In the kais-
er's case. This is DR.. Gustave Spies
of Frankfort-on-the-M Main, who, is q
friend and collaboration Of DR.. Schmidt
and almost as well known as he. II
Is believed that he has been asked
to advise, IL not take charge, In the
second operation, which from indica-
lions, 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

DOES NOT WANT WAR.

Commissioner Says Colombia Wants
to Settle Without Bloodshed.
New York, Nov. 27.---Among the pas
sengers who arrived on board the
steamship Adirondack from Cavanilla
was Francisco Manotas. lawyer sent
by the republic Of Colombia to Join
the commissioners who came via New
Orleans a 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 II not, war. is possible. To say
whether she will make war is very
hard question to answer. War with
the United States is not to be consid.
ered."
He continued: "The action of the
United States has been directly
against the treaty In 1886. The govern.
ment of this country guaranteed the
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 instruction and to re-
store peace.
THE United States has caused all
the trouble in Panama. II is she who
has MADE 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.
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.
1T 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. II matters were left
to us we would have no trouble In
putting an end to 1t. 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

DRAINAGE LAWS DEMANDED.
Northern Iowa Greatly Interested In
Ditch LEGISLATION.

StSH GVbtoiohSHb
Des Moines, Nov. 30.-The demands
Of northern and northwestern Iowa
for drainage legislation is likely to
result in action by the approaching
les stature. The subject is made of
more lL.-rsst by nearness Of the time
of holding .. 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 OF a bill which will mitigate
the evils existing at the present time.
According to the present time, the
only way in which the digging Of
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
of ground reclaimed to cultivation
win more than repay the expenditure
of money thac 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
ditch legislation Is fair guarantee
that 1t 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. Chassel Of Plymouth is red hot
for It.
Mr.. Chassell, when here, gave It as
his opinion that he ditch law problem
would be question OF 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 $40 per acre.
Now the low land is selling for $50,
and the owners want to be enabled
to make It productive. It is probable
that bill modelled after the Mime
