tween Gamlowski and Kutz certainly
favor Kutz There are several things
which are greatly in his favor
In the first place, there is fight in
the Democratic ranks J. J. Schenck
and some of his friends opposed the
nomination of GamIowski a { the Demo
cratic convention on the ground that
Gamlowski bottled the Democratic nomf-
nation for county attorney last year and

caused by Schenck viii cost Gamlowskf
at least fifty Democratic votes.
Another thing which favors Kutz is
the fact that he is on the same ticket

Kutz will be carried along by the swell
of the Bergundthal tide.

Something About the Two Rival
Candidates.

Both Of the candidates for member
Of the city council from the First ward
(North Topeka) in the coming city
election are new to Topeka politics.
Matt GamlowsA. it is true. has for
some years been recognized as one Of
the efficient workers for Democracy in
that ward, and he has won place as
leader Of the Russian-German voters
who compose a large voting strength in
the east part of the ward. He is now
reaping the first fruits OF political
recognition at the hands of his party,
and is one of the few candidates whom
the Democrats have hopes Of electng
on April T.
Gamlowski's opponent is s. H Kutz.
and 1T is doubtful whether half of the
people on the North side ever heard of
him until he came forward as a candi-
date against ii. w. Euler for the Re
publican nomination for member of the
council Euler was we'll known. and
had been mixed UP i'm politics for many
years. but Kutz beat him by 2S2 votes

past five years, since prohibition be
came such a dominant issue in the local
campaigns. and party lines have been
to some extent forgotten. The record
of the result of the elections of council
men in North Topeka for ten years
past Is as follows:

by Is majority.

The only Democrat to be elected from
North topeka is Jack" Blossom. who
was elected in 1898 defeated in 1900 and
reelected in 1902. Blossom also ran for
councilman in 1895, but was beaten.

characterized the contests in recent
years. however. indicates that it would
not be entirely beyond possibility TO
find some other Democrat who might

ban soma te. by. q vote of IL to 0, $50
This approval is absolute. The ques-
tionable time-limit amendment was dis
pensed with through the receipt OF ca
BILE message from Secretary Hay, in which
1t was positively declared that President
Roosevelt would call q special session Of
congress before Dec.s1. Final action was
delayed by the discussion of an amend
ment offered by Senators SanEuily, Ia
mayo and Recio, requiring the house to
pass upon the treaty. Senator Sanguiily
argued that, while the constitution was
not explicit upon this point, the represen-
tatives in congress Of the people ought
to be consulted as we'll as the CONNER
cial interests. whose opinions the commit
tee had sought eagerly. + He cited the ac-
ton Of the United States senate as a
precedent and said the committee evident
ly was afraid that the treaty would be de-
feated if submitted to the house. Senator
DOLE admitted that this, a good reason.
and quoted the constitution to show that
reference to the house was not required.

pass on the treaty was defeated, to Is.

dent will be appreciated and accepted by

WAR IN STEEL And IRON
Structural Iron Manufacturers to
Wage a War Against the
Union Labor Demands.
New York sun Special Service.


New York Sun Special Service.
Chicago, March s0.-From coast to coast
war will be waged against the Bridge and
Structural Iron Workers union by the
recently formed National association Of
manufacturers and erectors of structural
iron work. The structure Is to begin on
May 1 and continue until the union is
willing to make a standard wage scale
and cease imposing alleged onerous condi-
tions on the employers.
The conflict will affect more than 400,-
coo workers IN the building Industry and
practically every steel and iron manufac-
turera Of the country. Notices Of the
coming war have been sent out informally
in various cities, conferences have been
called by both parties, and all are pre-
pairing for the struggle. No attempt has
been made to prevent 1t.
The strife In Chicago threatens. to come
to focus long before the appointed date,
as the working agreement between the
union and employers expires Wednesday
morning. This has not been renewed and
the union decided yesterday to call out its
men unless q new contract is, drawn up
and signed by Tomorrow morning. A
final attempt at adjustment will be made
at a conference to-day. Ifsthis fails the
men will walk out tomorrow. sstssz

case "of the Irish gold ornaments will
soon come on for a, hearing in the law
courts. These relies were ploughed up on
some land in the northwest of Ireland in
1896 by g. farm laborer, and, after pass
ing through several hands were sold to
the British museum for E60o All efforts
to reclaim them for Ireland have proved
unavailing, the authorities at Bloomsbury
being precluded from parting with any
object once acquired. The government
officers say the articles are treasure trove,
and therefore belong to the crown, but the
trustees of the museum reply that within
living memory the sea has burst over the
land, upon which the objects were found,
and probably at the date to which they
belonged the sea extended much farther
inland. The relics include a collar with
ornaments Of Celtic character in relief;
a twisted collar of solid wire, two neck
chains, bowl and a model Of a boat with
oars. a.
