The Spirit Lake Beacon says the fear
that Governor Cummins is about to
break into the vice presidency may as
well subside as he has neither said nor
done anything to excite trepidation at
this point, and has his ambition under
excellent control"
THE plank of the Iowa platform on
tariff don't need revising. but the con-
struction placed on it by some editors
does" is the way the kanawha Record
puts it.
The Stuart Herald says Lieutenant
Governor Herriott's attitude toward re-
nomination is the same that 1T was two
years ago-that is, he will not actively
seek a denomination, but If the republi-
cans of the state should again nominate
him he will not decline"
Our observation has been that the
editor who has brains and ambition
enough to conduct an editorial depart
ment, also has get-up- and-get enough
to produce the best news pages" The
Moulton Sun believes in editorial opin-
ions in the country paper.
The Algona Courier says General
Weaver is to be congratulated for his
good sense in declining to be Walt But
ler's candidate for governor. Walt,
the Courier continues. has not good
sense enough to manage his own affairs,
and still he assumes to direct the demo-
cratic party of Iowa. The party that
follows his lead is to be pitied."
The confident assurance given the
neople Of the east that the stand pat
ters'' would this year take charge of
the republican party of Iowa has caused
the Cedar Rapids Gazette to remark:
The anti-Cumnlins republicans have
issued commissions to themselves and
are now ready to assume command as
soon as they find willing troops In suf-
ficient numbers"
Cyrenus Cole once acted in harmony
with MI. A. b. Cummins and thus con-
graduates himself that he did: eyre

OWNERSHIP OF ISLE OF PINES.

One of the problems that followed
the transfer of Cuba from the United
States to the home government was
that of the ownership of the Isle of
Pines. a large island just south of
the west end of Cuba comprising over
1900 square miles. Quite a number
of people from the United States, in
GLIDING Iowans, settled there with the
belief that it would be owned by our
government. and since then they have
been anxious to learn its real status.
This has just been determined by
Secretary Roots in response to a reso-
luton of congress asking light on the
subject. The secretary quotes from an
Endorsement made by the former mill
tary governor of Cuba, who says that
ment of Cuba the Isle of Pines was I'M
der the municipality of the Province
of Havana. The Isle of Pines was
to the de facto government
OF the Republic of Cuba, pending
settlement by treaty between the Uni
ted States and Cuba. The island today
is under the control of the civil COVER
nor of the Province of Havana and the
Republic of Cuba. No special action
was taken to protect the interest OF
United States citizens who have pur-
chased property and settled in the Isle
of Pines, because no such action was
necessary. All Americans are in the
same condition as other foreigners. 1t
was understood that when they went
there they took the risks incident to
the situation. Secretary Root says
General Woods Endorsement answers
all questions of the senate resolution.
This will be disappointing to some
of the settlers. tho it is possible that
in time a treaty may bring the island
under our government. Naturally.
however, it would seem to be a part of

THE CZAR'S VICEROY
VICE ADMIRAL ALExEleFF, THE RULER
OF EASTERN ASIA.

Russians Commander In Manchuria,
Who Has Been Vested With Ex-
traordinary Powers-Mighty Forces
ut Ills Commanded Strong Man.
Perhaps the cars most favored and
powerful lieutenant is Vice Admiral
AleXeieff, who was recently appointed
yiceroy of Russia in the far east, with
powers t~ranscending any hitherto Civ
en- to a representative of the car, and
his foreeful personality has been of al
most paramount Importance in the re-
cent events in eastern Asia.
When the great emperor of the north
by imperial ukase Il few months ago
created the Amur district and the
Kwangtung territory, or Russian Man.
churia, a special ~vieeroyalty it was
taken as an indication that Russia did
not intend to loosen her grip on Man
churia. This forecast seems now to
have been proved by the reoccupation
of Mukden by Russian troops and by
well authenticated reports that Russia
is to remain in Manchuria, allowing
Japan to have her way with Korea.
Vice Admiral Alexeieff, aid-de-camp
general to the car, who was appointed
administrato of the yiceroyalty, has
for some time been commander in chief
of the Russian troops in Manchuria
and of the Russian naval forces in the
far east, and his new Office vests him
as well with supreme authority oyer all
branches of the civil administration. A
special committee under the presidency
of the car sees that Alexeieff's policy
is in keeping with that of the empire.
The new vicerOy, whom the car has
delighted to honor on several previous
occasions, has already done much valu-
able work for his country and has seen
service on both land and sea. During
the past three years about 60,000,000
rubles have been spent by Russia at
, 1903-12-30

Vladivostok on new docks, wharfs
and barracks for thousands of men. In
all of this development Alexeieff has
been the guiding spirit, and it is to him
that Russia looks for carrying on its
policy in eastern Asia.
He has already established a reputa-
ton as a warrior and is not lacking in
diplomacy. Indeed, it is said of Alex
eieff that he would have made a diplo-
mat of the rough and ready sort if the
sea had not claimed him and that he is
able to fight and talk equally well. His
chief weakness is a passion for Rus
sian bridge whist, but he is a poor
loser, and a defeat at his fayorite
game throws him into a violent rage.
Alexeieff has a vast army in the far
east, chiefly garrisoned at Yladiyo-
stok. Port Arthur, Dalny and along
the line of the Chinese Eastern rail
way, besides a great feet of war ships.
Manchuria, the scene of much inter
national contention, embraces an area
of 362.310 square miles, about twice
the size of all the New England and
middle states together and nearly one
fifth the area of the whole empire of
China. 1t is known as the strategical
key of eastern Asia. Within easy
marching distance of the principal Chi
nese cities. it commands the entrance
to Korea and to northern China by
land. and while the ports of Siberia are
frozen for eight months, those of Man.
churia are closed but four.
The present population is 100000
persons, composed principally of Chi
nese, the pure blooded Mantchoo hav-
ing gradually disappeared. The north
ern portion, little known until recently.
has been thoroughly explored by the
Russians and is now traversed by the
Transmanchurian railway. The great
rivers of the country, the Yalu and
Sungari, are navigable for hundreds of
miles, and along them during the open
season fleets of Chinese and japanese
junks ply between cities of the two
countries. In spite of its great popula-
ton Manchuria possesses few large
cities, much of the country retaining its
primeval wildness.
The chief Russian settlements so far
are along the line of the Chinese East
ern railway. One of the strangest
things in Manchuria is the city of Dali
ny. This is the town which the ear
built almost in a night and is the COM
mercial terminus of the Chinese branch
of the Transsiberian railroad. The ear
gave orders to build it about three
years ago, and an army of 10000 men
was SET IN work Since then the horhor
has been %deepened, piers built, ware
houses erected and docks completed
The whole town was built before it
was occupied, and when all was com
pleted the houses were sold at auction
or privately, according to the orders of
the government. Dalny has now a pop
ulation of about $4,000.

"What is it now" asked Mrs. Bow

the whip in his hand and a 2;30 clip
in his eye.

"Have you paid for the rig?'
"Of course"
"And have got to keep itY

you were expecting me to buy a camel
or a yoke of oxen"
"Are-are you sure you know how to
drive a horse?' she faltered.
what in blazes do you mean by
that?' he shouted as he cracked the
whip and sent the cat bounding out of
the room.
AS the outfit had been bought and
paid for Mrs. Bowser decided to say
no more for the moment, and the idea
of a ride into the country was not I'M
pleasant. She was ready in ten min
utes, and as the front door closed on
her she heard the cat wailing in de-
spair and made up her mind there
would be a tragedy of some sort be
fore she returned.
She had not fancied the looks of the
equine from a window view, and when
she came to approach him closer she
realized that Mr.. Bowser had been tax
en- in and done for. The horse was not
only poor in flesh and shaky on his
legs, but he looked tricky and vicious.
AS Mr.. Bowser united the hitching
strap his new purchase bit at him in
a yengeful way and switched his tail

up to his gate with a horse
