The good which the grading and SOW
ing of grass seed Oh the triangular plot
at State and Capitol streets in front OF
the State House would accomplish is
very apparent to those who pass that
way. Previously 1t looked rough and
unkcpt, but now the grass is green and
inviting and the old deserted look is
gone. The plot has received the es-
pecial attention of William George. of
the state House force. and he is very
proud of the good results which he has
secured.

Ihe United States is preparing to take
strong position for the protection IF

Ihis Is indicated by the fact that the
tnited states. yesterday. made an ON
clai inquiry of Russia regarding the Erit-
ism steamer Ardova which had American
government stores aboard
Tho ArdOva haG already been released
Wh'n the inquiry was made To-Day the
foreign Office received communicative
1or tho United States asking whether TN.
ARABIA. German ship chartered by an
American company. had been released
ana adding that according to information
IN possession of the United Statos govern
ment the Arabia's cargo of flour. etc.
was bound for Hong Kong
While the communication did not take
the form of a protest. il is believed that
unless tbs Arabia is released formal pro-
test will he lodged
A formal protest will be lodged The
government could only reply that it was
completely without information. the Ara
hia not yet having arrived Al Vladivos-
tok. where Il was reported she had been
sent in charge of prize crew
Nothing has been done in the matter
of the Knight Commander. American in

Democrats at Loegerheads.

Iowa City, Ia, July 1S.-Although
the unexpected resignation of A. W.
Maxwell from the state committee
spoiled n fight that seemed likely to
make today's Democratic state con.
vention interesting, another AM larger
fight has come up to take its place.
The anti-Hearst Democrats have now
turned their guns on Charles A. Walsh,
member Of the Democratic national
committee for Iowa, and it is proposed
tonight TO Gust him from a place on
the state committee, to which he was
elected by the last state convention,
May 4th.
Having forced out Chairman Max
well, who was elected to that position
in violation of all precedent by the
Hearst majority in the state conven-
ton, the conservatives are now de.
termined to humiliate and discredit
Walsh, who was also a Hearst lead
er in the recent fight in Iowa. There
is reason to believe that the con
servatives will succeed if they under
take this, for they are clearly in con.
troll of the situation, and Mr.. Max.
wells resignation has demoralized the
Hearst forces.
The various places Of the ticket
were today rendered one man after
another, only to meet with certain re.
fusaL Tonight it is uncertain who
will be named.
The platform adopted will be die.
tated by conservatives, who will re-
iterate the terms of the national plat.
form.

nine-tenths of the ~fraternal world is
now committed to the adoption Of
some modification of this plan and its
rates.
I'm the A. o. U. w. all but IA Of the
40 jurisdictions have adopted the plan
within the past year."
When asked about the opposition.
Mr.. Hogue said: 1T is strange but
true that the opposition comes from
two directly opposing classes, the
young men as in Washington and
Massachusetts,, who believed that
$S0,O00,0 900 is too heavy a load for
the young men to assume for the men
over the age of So, and in Oregon. an
oder organization where the old men
have an annual advantage of over
100000 under the present plan, who
wish to hold on to it. They call it
fraternity.
1T is fraternity for the young men
to pat it up for us OLD fellows" said
Mr.. Hogue, who has been in the order
Is years, "or we might call it charity,
but for us to continue to accept It
from them will certainly lay us open
to the suspicion of trying to get more
than we pay for"
When questioned as to the probable
outcome of this session, Mr.. Hogue
would not commit himself further
than to say that there was little bit.
terness of feeling as compared with
one year ago, that he believed the dis
cussions would be very temperate,
as was the usual custom in this body,
and that the great majority of the del.
esates would vote for what they hon
estly believed to be for the best in
terest of the order.
