Des Moines, Iowa-March 31.-The in
evitableness of a row In the fePuohcan
state convention this year over the plat
form is becoming more and more plain.
1t begins to look as if nothing could avert
it. For the last few months, there has
been much harmony talk in various quar-
ters, but unless there is decided change
between now and the convention there
will be a contest even more bitter than
the one Of last year. 49,.
Ever since the Polk county convention,
which Governor Cumm1ns addressed IN a
speech that was emphatic for tariff reVl-
sion and reciprocity, the opponents of. the
governor have been active and if they can
ally the elements of the old machine IN
the state, which Is against Cun1mins un
der any circumstances, and the elements
genuinely opposed to any revision OF the
showing of strength at the convention.
What seems to have excited the enemies
of the Iowa idea'' the most is the COVER
nor's statement that he will do all he can
to have the idea given a place in the ma
tional PLATFORM The opponents Of the
Iowa idea feel if they can give the COVER
nor black eye this year and fashion a
platform suitable to themselves, there will
stand on from which to fight. for a tariff
revision and reciprocity plank In the ma
! tional platform next year.
There is no question that the factional
| feeling is as bitter to-day as it has ever
been. Many politicians believe 1t is worse
| now than it was two years ago, when
Cumrnins was nominated.
| 1t is practically settled that the Fifty
fourth regiment will be sent to St. Louis
to attend the dedication Of buildings on
the worlds fair grounds, April 80. This
regiment, commanded by Colonel H. H
Caughlan, is located in the southeastern
part Of the state and can be sent with the
| least expense '..

MILWAUKEE,, WIS.-The trial of Albert
Schissler, who is charged with killing F.
w. Reul, on the question of his sanity or
insanity, resulted to-day in bringing out
some very substantial testimony. The

time of the commission of the act Schiss-

was the star witness Of the day. She tes-
titled that she was in the carriage with

his steps, thrust his arm into the carriage
and ask Reul his name and then place a
revolver to his breast and shoot, without
waiting for reply. ) ,-..
