Nathan B. Hyde, former Kerosha

on charge of sending scanda1ous let
tiers to Thomas O'Nei1, Chief of the
police department in Chicago.
Hyde was something of char
acter in Kenosha, and some of the
Kenosha attorneys with whom he had
dealings, state that the man is crank
pure and simple, and that he is suf-
fering from9 mental troubles. Hyde
has not been in Kenosha for many

Sioux City. March 2S.--The can
didacy of A. B. Funk of Spirit Lake
for congressman of the Eleventh dis
trict is announced in the Journal. He
is quoted thus by the staff correspond
ent Of the Journal:
II am a candidate for the republi-
can nomination in the Eleventh con-
gressional convention. Between this
date and May 4, only few weeks
intervene so it is impracticable to
make anything like a systematic can
vass and organization, even II the
field were less pre-empted and II /
felt disposed to do.
IF it shall possibly occur that / am
the ultimate choice of the congress
sional convention | shall feel highly
honored. If this choice falls to any
one of the excellent and able gentle
men who preceded into the field, the
district, as well as the nominee, will
have my earnest congratulations
Mr.. Funk said he was not lining up
with any other candidate: although he
hopes to maintain friendly relations
with all of them. His chief field lieu
tenant is p E. Marcy of Spirit Lake.
There may come turn in the Eley-
enth district which will bring out
Frank Helsell of Sioux Rapids as a
candidate for congress. Things are
shaping themselves that way in Clay
county, from which quarter his can
didacy would be launched.

CHINESE MIXING IN WAR.
Now Believed They are Only Waiting
Opportunity.

Berlin, March ga communication
from a welI-known diplomatist in Par
Is is published by the semi-oficial
Post, in which it is asserted that a
most pessimistic view is being taken
at Paris of the tension which is de-
clared to have undoubtedly set in be-
tween Russia and China. All fears
regarding the attitude Of China to-
ward the war seem, the statement
continues, to be approaching real
ization.
Dispatches have been received
from Pekin, stating that the Chinese
government still denies any intention
of abandoning it's attitude of neutrality
but everything, the diplomats aver
goes to show that it is really only
waiting for a favorable opportunity
to take part in the hostilities.
The Russian government has re-
ceived similar reports from it's min
lister in Pekin and is taking measures
in consequence.
In the last day or two an exchange
of views of an exhaustive character
Is said to have taken place between
the French and Russian governments
as to Cuina's intervention in the war,
but no decision has yet been reached
as to the lines of action to be adopted
by France in this eventuality.
The answer of the Chinese govern
ment to the threatening dispatches
sent in by Russia is awaited with

RENEW ATTACK
ON PORT ARTHUR.
Second Daring Attempt Of
Japanese to Bottle
HarbOr.
COVERED BY COMMANDMENT
Seven Merchantmen We're Sunk at
Harbor's Mouth-Three Thousand
Japanese Officers and Bluejackets
Volunteered for Perilous Duty.

London. March 25.-The Daily Tel
egraph publishes a dispatch from it's
Toxic correspondent under yester-
days date, which says:
"On the night of March % the JAP
anese fleet renewed the attempt to
bottle up Port Arthur Sixteen war
ships escorted seven merchant steam
ers to the mouth of the harbor and
under cover of the bombardment the
steamers ran in and were sunk in de-
sired positions. Three thousand jap
anese officers and blue jackets volun-
teered for this duty. An official re-
port is expected this afternoon
London, March 25.-The Daily Tel
egraph's circumstantial report from
its Toxic correspondent that the JAP
anese succeeded in bottling up Port
Arthur on the night of March % is
not confirmed from any other quarter.
The special dispatches to the other
morning papers announce no new de-
velornents in the situation, but throw
few sidelights on the operations.
The Standards Tien Tsin CORE
spondent says that Viceroy Alexieff
renewed his demand for the with.
drawal Of all Chinese officials and SOL
diers from Manchuria on the ground
that otherwise it would be impossible
to conduct the war properly.
The Daily Mails correspondents
give from Japanese sources some de-
tails of the condition of Port Arthur
which were gathered during a recent
visit of a Chinese junk there. 1t is
asserted that boom had been placed
across the entrance to the roadstead
which was alive with mines so defect
i've and so carel2ssly laid as to equally
endanger both Russian and Japanese
vessels. The damaged Russian war
ships, these reports say, were repair
ed with such haste that it is danger
GUS for them to leave their anchorage.
Eight battleships and cruisers and ten
torpedo boat destroyers are now unin-
jured and often leave the harbor, but
never go far from the forts.
Japanese naval officers praise the
quality of the Russian torpedo boat
destroyers, which, they confess, have
done excellent work, but they declare
that the Russian shells are badly
fused and fail to explode except when
they strike direct upon armor, and
that their charges of gun cotton are
insufficient to cause serious damage.
The Daily Mails Shanghai CORE
spondent says that the Japanese are
secretly engaging Chinese to act as ir-
regular correspondents.

PRIMARY LAW FOR POLK.
English Bill Will Apply Only to Poll
County

Des Moines, March 24.-No more
rotten elections for Des Moines. A
substitute bill by English was acted
upon by the committee on elections
yesterday and will undoubtedly pass
the house and probably the senate
made applicable only to counties hav
ing 10000 population or more, and as
this amount is 10000 in excess of that
of any county other than Polk, the bill
is manifestly intended for the especial
benefit of Des Moines.
By it's provisions the disgraceful
features Of the recen. primary elecllon
will be rendered impossible. Amy
candidate who pays money to any per.
son for the purpose of securing his
services to do campaign work in his
behalf shall be deemed guilty of a
misdemeanor and subjected to heavy
fine. Anyone accepting pay for politi-
cal services is, by this bill, held to be
guilty of misdemeanor and subjected
to heavy fine and Imprisonment.
Bribery in more direct form or the
practice of other Irregularities Is made
punishable by even more severe pen.
alties.
This bill was prepared by Emory
English, member of the house from
Polk county, after he had become con.
WINGED that no general primary law
applicable to the entire state would
receive recognition at the hands OF
either house. He appreciated the
need of reform in Des Moines and &C.
cordingly placed limitation as to
population which would eliminate the
possibility of objection on the part OF
legislators representing other cities
and counties. 1t is his understanding
that there will be no opposition in
either house to bill which gives Polk
county what it seems to need and ask.
In his substitute bill he endeavors to
embody the strongest features Of tho
three primary election bills previously
offered in the two houses and at tie
same time to make such changes as
meet the objections of the lawyer
members of the senate who raised OBJ
jections as to the constitutionality OF
some of the proposed features of the

LEGISLATORS AT IOWA CITY.
Are Accorded a Hearty Greeting by

Iowa City, March 25.-The visit OF
the state legislature to the State Uni
versity of Iowa was the occasion for
one of the most remarkable demon
STATIONS in the history of the univer
sity. Students, faculty, members and
citizens of Iowa City joined in tho
demonstration of extreme loyalty to
the university. Despite the raind ami
mud, young men and women marched
and cheered. No Iowa football team
ever received such an ovation as did
the members Of the Thirtieth general
assembly.
The occasion was marred somewhat
by two things-the failure of Cover.
nor Cummins to be here on account
Of illness and the rain. The latter
condition did not seem to dampen
the enthusiasm at all and tho pace
of Governor Cummins was taken by
Lieutenant Governor Herriott.
The delegation from DeS Moines
was even larger than was expected,
there being over four hundred in the
special train. The train arrived short
ly before noon and was met at the
depot by the university faculty, the
band and battalion and the members
of all Of the departments marching.
The double line of students extended
half way from the depot to the uni.
versity. The visitors, in carriages,
were driven through this double line
to the liberal arts auditorium, where
the exercises of the day were conduct.

Property Loss is Great in Chicago
and Nearby Towns.
Chicago, March 25.-One of the
known in many years passed over
Chicago last night. Great damage
was done in the suburbs to the south
OF the city and considerable loss was
sustained by the people living to the
Forth of the city proper. The storm
did not strike the business portion
of the city in its greatest force.
The town of Indiana Harbor, TWEEN
ty miles southeast of Chicago, on the
Lake Shore & Michigan Southern
railroad, was the heaviest sufferer
One man, l.. Barker, the proprietor Of
dry goods store, was killed and fir
teen people who were in ms sure
when the storm struck were injured
some Of them seriously, although
none Is expected to die. Bankers
store was entirely demolished. Eight
cen residences were blown down and
a number of people were hurt in the
ruins of their homes.
The number of people injured at In
diana Harbor will probably approach
twenty-five. All three of the hotels
in the place were badly damaged
Green's hotel in particular being bad
ly wrecked. One two-story frame
building was turned entirely over.
The storm created havoc in the
town of Hammond, Ind, a number OF
residences were badly damaged and
two people were injured, but not IA
tally. One end of the large plant OF
the Republic Iron and Steel company
was blown down, causing loss of at
least $4,000. A number Of business
houses were unroofed.
In Grand Crossing, eight miles
south of the center of the city, a num-
Der OF buildings were wrecked. To
the north of the city the storm was
also severe, much damage having
been done in the suburbs of Evanston,
Rogers Park and Thornton.
