ing good commissioners. He IS an ex-
tensive manufacturer and shipper ana
has been interested in transportation
matters all his life. He is the FiItn
district candidate and Is supported
without faction by the district because
ne is an old-line republican, always
generous and loyal. 1t is stated that
he will have all of the Fifth district
save few votes In Grundy and posi-
bly In Jones, and the Taina delegation.
He will have the Sixth district almost
solid. In the Seventh district he will
receive good majority OF the votes.
tho for personal reasons some votes
will be cast for Porterfield. He VIII
have more votes In all northeastern
Iowa than all the rest of the candidates
put together, and in almost every coun-
ty of the Tenth and Eleventh districts
he will have good following.
Dr. Porterfield lays claim to very
large vote in the Eighth and First dis
tricts, and having the Ninth solid. but
1t is also said the Ninth will not be
more solid for him than the Fifth Tor
Ketchum. One of his friends asserted
today that he has also been making
gains in the eastern part Of the state.
where much personal work has been
done for him. 1t is believed that Love-
Joy and Ottosen will divide the Tenth
district nearly even. but that Sitz will
not have very great following In the
Eleventh Mowry has not succeeded
In dividing the Fifth district, as had
been expected But little has been
heard here of his candidacy.
There was talk for time OF an effort
on the part Of the stock shippers bring
ing out candidate for commissioner.
At one time they discussed the avail
ability of President Ames, OF the Corn
Belt Meat Producers Association. but
he took the very sensible ground that
for the association to go into politics
would ruin it. There has also been talk
of this or that candidate being favored
by the railroads or opposed by the rail
roads. 1t is known that the railroads
and that there is nothing of this sort
doing.
In like manner factional matters have
been discarded. No candidate can
claim to be the special representative
of the revisionists or of the standpat-
ters. An earnest and generally sue
cessful effort has been made to elimin-
ate this issue for this year.
The candidate have arranged for
headquarters rooms in this city for
convention week. The talk of fight on
other candidates for state Office dis
appeared in vapor.

Of Congratuiation.
Escopus, July 15.-Judge Parker re-
ceived a letter from General Miles,
dated at st. Louis. July 10. which
says in part:
pending, when democratic institutions
are in peril, when great evils should
be eradicated, and when important po-
litical questions must be decided, it Is
fortunate the democratic party has
given the country candidate for pres
ident in whom the great council of

dence, and we have the best reasons for
believing that confidence will be con-
firmed by the intelligent, patriotic peo-
pie of the country"

ST. Petersburg. July 15.-lt is possi-
ble the fourth ship of the Vladivostok
squadron, now off the Japanese coast,
a the cruiser Bogatyr, as the vessels
repairs were known some time ago to
have been nearly completed. A pr!-
vafe letter from yladivostok, dated
Tune IS, gives the first authentic ac-
count OF the mishap to the Bogatyr. II
apnears the cruiser pursued Japan
ese cruiser in the fog. The fog was SO
thick that the captain of the Bogatyr
caused his protest against attempting
10 navigate the Bogatyr to be entered
an the log book. but Rear Admiral Jes-
sen insisted on proceeding. rev
minutes afterward the vessel struck
the rocks. Mines We're Immediately
n,aced around the cruiser as protee-

" possible that General 0ku will ad-
vance until the Takushan column
reaches Tangchi and points out that
before Kai Chou it took fifteen days for
Oku to cover twenty miles arguing his
slownees may be due to hesitation as
to where to deliver blow and possibly
his intention is again to devote his
chief energies to Port Arthur.

Hartman and Pierce Win First
Round In Litigation Over

GRANT TEMPORARY INJUNCTION
Pro Rata Plan Of Closing Up ths Az
fairs Of the Northern Securities
Company After the Adverse pse;s-
ion Of Supreme Court Stopped BY the
Court in New Jersey.

ford was today granted preliminary
injunction in the suit brought by Ed
ward II. Hartman, Winslow S. Pierce
and others to restrain the proposed pro
rata distribution OF the assets Of the
Northern Securities Company. This
is a defeat for the Hill interests.
The litigation turned largely on the
question as to the title to the Northern
Pacific stock which Hartman ana
Pierce put into the combination and
which amounted to about $79. 900, 900.
The contention OF the Securities Com
pany was that the stock had become
the absolute property OF that company
and it was perfectly legal for the -
curities company to carry out the
pro rata plan OF distribution upon
which the company had agreed. Har-
.riman contended that by reason Of the
corporation being declared Illegal ~

title had not passed from Hartman
