include Russia's attitude in Manchuria.
the developments in the investigation

departmental matters upon which the
president will have to pass. Since leav-
ing Yellowstone park President Roose-
welt has been in close touch with Wash

Baldwin Did Not Say II.

been given by Gen. Baldwin, in which
the latter spoke in an improper manner
of the Filipino and negro soldiers, has
reported to Secretary Root that the in

man who reported it had been dis
charged from the paper. 1t appears
that Gen. Baldwin did have an inter-
view when he first arrived at Denver,
and it was this interview to which he
referred when he subsequently stated
that he was misunderstood II he was
interpreted as saying anything reflect

by a great many affidavits and much
testimony which has been presented to
the secretary.

PERKINS ON PLATFORM.
Editor of Sioux City Journal Com

tion.
Sioux City, April 29.-In an editorial
apropos of the action of the state cen-
trail committee in fixing the date of the
republican state convention and his
own selection as temporary chairman,
George D. Perkins says:
"The republicans of Iowa have had a
free debate over some questions Of ma
tional policy. Where they have not
differed as to principles or policies, de-
bate has lead into ways where appar-
ations appeared and where distorted
vision provoked expletives. The at
mosphere has been clearing up. Men
and things have taken on their natural
look.
1.-The language to express ideas to be
employed In the Iowa republican plat
form this year has received unusual at
tention at the hands of men knowing
the meaning of words and competent
to place them In right relations. Sem
ator Allison has been called into this
Office by consensus of republican
opinion. So far as he proceeded he
has had the generous cooperation of
Governor Cummins. ]. w. Blythe of
Burlington, and other men have been
consulted. Whatever has or will be
done is tentative. The competent
authority is the state convention. But
experiment with platform expression
has developed that agreement is not
difficult to reach, and this development
confirms the judgment of the mass of
the party, and 1t has provided assur-
ancethat the convention will have no
quarrel on it's hands in making a plat
form acceptable to all.
Perkins For Governor in 1905.
State Senator e. N. Hubbard, cam
didate for the republican congressional
nomination to succeed Lot Thomas,
this evening expressed pleasure at the
selection of George d. Perkins as tenn
porary chairman of the republican
state convention.
"The selection of Mr.. Perkins Is log
ical and makes him the logical candi-
date for governor to succeed Governor
Cummins two years hence.
Mr.. Perkins paper has done as
much. if not more, for Cummins than
any other paper in the state. At the
same time he has political affiliations
with the other wing of the party. 1t
Is wise selection in the interest of
harmony.
II am not sure that Mr.. Perkins
would care for any further political
preferment, but If he would, no man in
the state would be more in line for the
nomination."
