TO HONOR JEFFERSON
MONUMENT FOR AUTHOR OF DEC
LARATIoN OF INDEPENDENCE.
Memorial Association Formed to Sc
cure Funds for Erection of Memo
riaI-AppeaI Is Made by President
George Dewey.

Washington. Feb. 2.-The Thomas
lied for the purpose of erecting at the
national capital an appropriate and
truly national memorial to the author
of the declaration of independence"
through its president, Admiral George
Dewey, has issued an appeal to the
American people for funds to carry
out the object of the association.
The text of the appeal is as follows:
Headquarters The Thomas Jefferson
Memorial association of the United
States, Washington, January 81, 1903.
To the American People: The Thom-
as Jefferson Memorial association has
been organized to take up the long ne
elected duty of erecting a fitting me-
mortal to the memory of the man who
wrote the declaration of independence
We have here beautiful and costly
tributes to the memory of American
soldiers, sailors, statesmen, physicians,
inventors and philanthropists: and the
soldiers and sailorseof France are hon
ored; but there is not one tablet to the
memory of that great American, Thorn
as Jefferson
We ask the people to contribute ac-
cording to their ability to this memoir
ial. Congress will not be asked for
money, as we rely solely upon the
people, the young and old, the chill
dren and their parents, for the sue
cess of the movement.
The character and cost of the pro-
posed memorial cannot now be stated,
but it will be appropriate to the great
ness of the man and the author of the
document from which his name is in
separable. Rigid economy will be OBJ
served in the expenses of carrying on
the work
Every contributor will receive a
certificate acknowledging his SUBJ
scription and carrying with it member
ship in the association In time to
come these certificates will be
badges of honor
Contributions, checks, money orders
or drafts should be made payable to
the treasurer of the association,
Jesse B. Wilson, president of the Lin
coin National bank. The people will
be kept Informed of all important ac-
tions of the association. Communica-
tions addresses to the secretary, w.
S. Mexican, will receive prompt and
respectful attention.

of the NAVY President

POLITICS
EXCLUDED FROM CHICAGO FED
GRAFTON OF LABOR.
President Schardt Makes Emphatic
Address Before Assembly of Work.
ngmen-DepIores Strikes and Out
lines the Issues of Organization.

Chicago, Feb. 2.-"This federation
must and shall be non-partisan in poll,
tics, and no man or set of men will be
permitted to involve us in that dan
gerous element. Those who connive
to use us for the advancement of any
man, faction, or party are our most
bitter enemies, and ought to be treated
as such.'
These were the words of President
w. G. Schardt in his first message to
the Chicago federation of labor
The reform element took control of
the Chicago Federation of Labor yes
terday, and promptly divorced it from
politics and political intrigue. For
the first time in five years the organi-
Zatlon, which represents 10000 trade
unionists, became labor meeting to
discuss only the needs of the working
men and the public policies which di.
rectly affect them.
Under the new policy the federation
is to attempt to accomplish reforms
in the justice of the peace system and
to have the judiciary freed from poll
tics. These points were dealt with
in the address of President Schardt.
DepIores Strikes; Outlines Issues.
Strikes should be the last resort. !"
he said Every method of concilia-
ton and arbitration should be exhaust.
ed before the serious step of calling a
strike is taken. Contracts between
labor organizations and employers
ought to be considered sacred. Any
violation weakens us in public estima,
tion, and the result is disastrous to
the whole movement in the end"
President Schardt outlined the worl,
before the federation as follows:
Adjustment of convict and child
labor
Shortening the hours of labor and
increase of compensation for free la.
Dor.
Reform of the justice of the peace
system and the freedom of the judi.
ciary from political influence.
Adjustment of the fee system in
public Offices
Institution of the initiative and ref.
erendum.
Adjustment of insanitary dwellings
and sweatshops
Reform of the contract system in
public work

OBJECT TO RYRNE.
Senate Committee Refuse to Endorse
His Appointment.

Washington, Feb 2-The senate
committee on judiciary today agreed
to recommend that the nomination of
William Byrne for United States dis
trict attorney for Delaware be reject
ed. The ground for this action was
the connection of Byrne with Delaware
politics. 1t was agreed to delay the
report in order to give the President
opportunity to withdraw the nomina-
ton.
Byrne belongs to the "Addy" faction
in Delaware. He was formerly dis
trict attorney, but resigned and ran
for congress on the "Addy" ticket. He
was defeated and was reappointed to
his former position.
The senate today passed joint res
olution requesting the state authorities
to cooperate with the census Office in
securing uniform system of birth
and death registration. Quay asked
for the unanimous consent for the
vote on the statehood bill on Febru-
ary IS. Nelson objected. The army
appropriation bill was then taken up.
The House.
When the house met today Cannon
reported sundry civil appropriation
bill carrying $7S,OOOO0O. The commit
tee recommends that an appropriation
of $3,OOO.OOO be made for the relief of
the distress in the Philippines.
Under the suspension of rules the
bills were passed authorizing the con-
struction of new building for the de-
partment of agriculture at cost of
$1,50O,O00; to appoint and retire Lieut..
Robert Platt, U. S. NJ. as commander
in navy; to appoint and retire Captain
John Russell Bartlett, U. S. N, as rear
admiral.

POLITICAL FIGHTS ON
LEGISLATIVE CONTEST RECEIVES
ATTENTION IN IOWA.
lntimation That Redistrictins of State
May Be Up This FaII-LittIe Inter.
est Seems to Be Manifest in the
Speakership Contest.

Des Moines, Feb. 2.-Legislative
hghts are now receiving the attention
OF politicians in Iowa, inasmuch as the
tlme for holding primaries and county
conventions is rapidly drawing near.
Candidates for the house are being
talked of in almost every county, and
candidates for the senate are already
out in most of the districts that elect
this fall.
Both of the republican factions are
watching ''e situation very closely,
and neither desires to allow the other
to secure absolute control of the legis.
lature. Matters of Importance, such
as redistricting, are likely to come up,
and in this case the faction in control
OF the assembly will have great ad-
vantage. Other matters of great i'm
portance may come up at any time.
Little Interest in Speakership.
Although there is great interest in
the membership of the legislature,
there does not appear to be a great
deal of interest in the speakership.
The opinion is gaining ground that
Clarke of Dallas win be the next
speaker and that he will be elected
with little opposition Kendall of Mon
roe and Temple of Clarke have both
been mentioned, but it is doubtful if
either will be candidate when the
time comes. Clarke has always been
classed as a Cummins man, but he is
much more conservative than many of
the members of this faction, and is
therefore not unacceptable to the
other faction of the party.
Little is heard just now about the
campaign for state officers. All of the
candidates are busy. but there are no
new developments. Not great deal
of interest is being manifested, and al
most the whole talk in political circles
just at the present is over the legisla-
tive nominations
Weaver For Governor.
Democrats of southwestern Iowa are
reported to be strongly in favor of Gen
]. B. Weaver of ColfaX as the demo-
cratic nominee for governor. General
Weaver is stanch adherent of the
Kansas City platform, and that part
of the state will make a fight for re-
affirmation again this year, in spite of
the fact that they were turned down
last year. General Weaver has many
personal friends all over the state, but
in no section is he stronger than in the
southwestern part. The eight district
it is believed, will be almost solid for
him.
Speaking of the matter j. B. Sulli-
van leading democrat of Creston
said:
81 think that General Weaver will
have the support of the eight district
if he decides to be candidate. He is
recognized as the man who has the
courage of his convictions, and for
this reason it is believed that he will
be strong candidate. The democrats
in our part of the state will undoubt-
edly be for him"
Judge Van Wagenen of Sioux City,
is not meeting with as much encour-
agement in his candidacy for governor
as was expected. His declaration for
government ownership of railroads is
not generally approved by the demo
Gratis. and it is believed that General
Weaver will prove the stronger candi.
date, although he is thought to hold
similar views.

Makes This One Condition in Fav.
oring Allies.
is AWAITING ANSWER FROM POWERS
Plan That at the Expiration of Prob
ably One Month the Allies Are to Be
Placed on Same Footing as Other
Nations.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 2.-An i'm
portant fact developed today, that
Minister Bowen was willing that the
allied powers shall receive preferen-
tial payments of their claims against
Venezuela for the period of one month
provided they accept the remainder of
his proposition and agree to the i'm
mediate lifting of the blockade He
informed the representatives of the
powers here to this effect several days
ago, but has not yet received an an
Swer.
Makes Offer.
The plan suggested provides that
for short period Great Britain, Ger
many and Italy shall receive eXclu-
sively thirty per cent of the customs
receipts of the ports of Porto CabeIlo
and La Guayra, and that at the end of
this period all the claimant nations be
placed on the same footing for six
months At the expiration of the sec
ond period of six months the thirty
per cent of the receipts of these two
ports shall be divided among all the
claimant nations in ratio based on
the amount of each nations claim.
The plan is regarded as a compro-
mise which will enable the allies to
: withdraw their ships from Venezuelan
waters without a serious loss of pres
tige.
Looks for Speedy Settlement.
81 am confident that in any event
the negotiations will not be protract
ed," said Baron Won Sternberg. 1T is
as much to the interest of the govern
ments of the three powers to finish
the affair as it is to the interests of
Venezuela.
The difference of opinion as to
preferential treatment for Germany,
Italy and Great Britain of course re-
mains.
81 cannot say whether the German
government will insist on preferential
treatment or not. / feel that settle
ment is imminent, and that public ir-
ritation, if any exists, should be al
layed in the prospect of the near end
of the negotiations.
III Feeling Between Allies.
1t has developed that the ill feeling
which exists between the German and
English embassies has served to pro-
tract the negotiations which the rep
resentatives of Italy, Germany and
Great Britain have been conducting
with Minister Bowen. The German
and British embassies would like to
place upon the other the odium of
having proposed the concerted block
ade of Venezuela.
The irritation which exists in the
United States as the result of the
blockade of the ports of the South
American republic was not foreseen
in England and Germany, and both
governments are seeking to close the
incident. Both will press Minister
Bowen as far as they think American
public opinion will permit.

CITIZENS ELATED OVER VICTORY
OF SULTAN'S TROOPS.
Pretender's Forces Are Utterly Rout-
ed After Hours of Desperate Fight.
ing-RuIer Buys Assistance of Beni-
ourien Tribe.

Tangier, Feb. 2.-The details OF the
sultan's victory Thursday over the
forces of the pretender, Blu Hamaria,
show that the battle was stubbornly
contested and that the formers sue
cess was largely due to the co-opera-
tion at the critical moment of the
Beniourien tribe, whose detection from
the rebels the sultan had previously
purchased. Desperate fighting contin-
ued for three hours and the slaughter
was very great. The remnants of the
rebel army are being pursued by the
imperial troops, and if Buhamaria is
not among the slain his capture is
confidently expected. There is great
rejoicing at Fez, as the result of the
victory of the sultan's forces.
