lacey and PERKINS
FOR GOVERNORSHIP
Ed Hunter Says They Will Be
the Candidates of the
Two Factions.
BLYTHE is FOR LACEY
Sixth District Standpatter Will Be the
Reservation Candidate, and Perkins
is Expected to Represent the
Insurgents.
BLYTHE is FOR LACEY

Des Moines, Ia. May 26.-The battle
royal for the republican nomination for
governor will be waged by George d.
Perkins OF Sioux City and Major Lacey,
according to Z. H. Hunter who Is look
ed upon as one of the best posted poll
ticians in Des Moines, and who is also
considered the spokesman Of j. w.
Blythe.
Mr.. Hunter has made the announce
ment to friends in Des MONIES and is
certain that will be the lineup-that
is as certain as any political forecast
can be.
In discussing the situation, Mr.. Hun
ter said 1T is practically certain that
George d. Perkins of Sioux City will
be the candidate of the anti standpat
crowd. He is in favor of tariff revis
ion and of reciprocity. He represented
their sentiments. He is said to be in
readiness to make the race, although
he has not made a formal statement to
that effect.
NO, we will not fall in the band
wagon and support him. He does not
represent the standpat views and we
cannot stand for him.
Lacey Must Run.
cur candidate will be Major Lacey
of the Sixth district. He is a wheel
horse of the republican party and viii
| be a good leader
Inc only question Is tnaC Mayor
Lacey may not desire to step out OF the
congressional seat into the guber
material chair, but our fellows desire
him."
The above statement made by Mr..
Hunter to friends here shows that the
| contest two years hence Will be Il close
one. While George D. Perkins of Sioux
City has not made Il personal an
nouncement of his candidacy. friends
have r. p. Clarkson in an interview
some time ago stated that Mr.. Perkins
was the logical man for the place, and
the latter has not denied 1t.
While Mr.. Perkins opposed the stand
pat machine in the recent state con-
vention, it is understood the plan to
| bring out Major Lacey was determined
| upon some time ago, and did not cut
any figure.
There are others who will probably
enter the field within the next two years
and there will doubtless be a good
field to draw from when the entries
close.

ISN'T ANY AGREEMENT.
Merely Accidental That All the Enthra
cite Comp anies Charge Exactly
the Same Prices.

New York, May 27.-The first wit
ness called by the interstate commerce
commission today was President
Truesdale of the Lackawanna system.
who had been directed by the United
States supreme court to answer certain
questions propounded to him at the
previous session of the commission.
Truesdale said the price of Lacka-
wanna coal at tideWater was fixed by
the officers of the company under his
general direction. There was no agree
ment as to the price circulars, and the
fact that prices were uniform he eX-
planned by SAYING that one company
would follow the lead of another AS y
question of policy. He knew it was
against the law to maintain n fixed
schedule of coal prices, and for that
reason a price was not fixed.
Witness said in spite of the coal
strike, the award of the national strike
commission and other contingencies,
the company's coal business had grad
ually grown more profitable.

PENSION LAW EHARhIAG
PENSION Law Recognizes It as Proper
Basis for Widows Application

Washingto ton, May 25.-Therc is hope for
many widows of soldiers who have hern
unable to furnish proof Of marriage III
connection with their applications for pen
sions. A ruling of the pension office has
recently become known, to the effect that
In cases where state laws recognize COM
mon law marriages the pension office Will
also recognize them.
1t is stated many widows have dropped
the prosecution Of their claims because
they could not furnish proof of legal mar
riages, but did not know of their rights
under the common law marriage ruling.
If these cases are revived and the claim
riage the department will take up tho
cases and adjudicate them on that basis.

Port Arthur Comes Next.

st. Petersburg, May 26-The prevail
Ing opinion at the headquarters Of the
general staff is that the withdrawal Of
the Japanese upon Feng Wang Cheng
means that the enemy has decided to
devote himself primarily to the opera
tons against Port Arthur, and that the
present object Of General Kuroki, with
the first army supported by General
Nadya with the third army now land
ing near Taku Shan, is to watch Cen
eral Kuropatkin and prevent a move
southwark which would take General
Oku and the second army on the Lao
Tung peninsula in the rear.
A direct attack upon Kuropatkin's
main force apparently Is not considered
to be impending. Nothing more than
outpost affairs are anticipated, al
though some of these may be sangui-
nary. Russian scouts are keeping in
constant touch with the enemy, and
thus far the minor shiftings of the
enemy's detachments west of the Ia
yang river and northward Of Moi Ting
Ling are considered to be in the nature
of screens. If the two armies Of the
Russian commander in chief are try
ing to work q force around in the rear
Of General Kuroki, or are planning
surprise. of course the fact Is sedulous-
ly concealed here.
Uneasiness is displayed at the near
APPROACH of the rainy season, which
will retard If not completely stop field
operations. although this plays directly
into the Russians hands. The Rus
slams will continue to hold Newchwang,
Kai Chou and Tashi Chou until a
move in force is made towards Hal
Chens with the object of cutting off the
retirement Of the force at Kai Chou,
which is sufficient to stand off an
ordinary force of the enemy, and to
discourage landing Of troops there or
ut Hung Yo Chen.

London, May 25.-Rumor is unceas-

lions are in progress for the reduction
of Port Arthur, and hiatt these prepara-
lions will be entrusted to a carefully
chosen force of veterans, forming part

lery, the correspondent says. is being

Dispatches to the Daily Telegraph
show that on May 16 the Japanese
headquarters We're still at Feng Wang

utes to the necessity for joint action
With the Japanese army, which has
landed at Pitsewo. They explain that
communication has not yet been estab-
| lished between the two Japanese
armies, but it is expected to be effected
within few days. The dispatches say
that the telegraph lines between Feng
Wang Cheng and the south have been
cut by Russians disguised as Chinese.
A Russian transport is moving from

anese at Lao Yang. where probably

land operations against Port Arthur
are meeting with little success and that
Lieut.. Gen. Stoessel and Maj. Gen.
Fock continue to make well directed
but desperate sorties against the adj
| vance Of the Japanese, who are fight
ing with stubborn determination al
most unequaled In history. Several
hundred Japanese have been killed
during the past few days. Japanese
reinforcements are arriving daily from

Russia Short Of Ammunition.

st. Petersburg, May ga copyright
cable dispatch to the New York Ameri-
can says: Real concern Is felt in official
circles over the fact that quantities of
war munitions urgently needed in the
far east, and which were supposed to be
on hand. are not to be found, and it is
said that these discoveries are hamper
ing operations at the front. Ammuni-
ton and equipments Of all descriptions
are gone. The car. 1t is understood,
has ordered a searching investigation,
and it Is limited that a scandal is i'm
pending which will involve many high
officials in widespread conspiracy of
looting. It is said that the guilty will
be punished without mercy and that
sweeping reforms in both the war and
navy departments will be made which
will minimize the chances for such cor
ruption in the future. A well known
officer said today:
1T cannot be doubted that Russia's
unpreparedness is due largely to these
peculations and the loose methods in
both war and naval establishments.
Kuropatkin now is hampered by lack Of
supplies and facilities. which he had
every reason to believe were at his
command. Recreant and corrupt Rus
sian officials have been more potent
than the Japanese in bringing discredit
on Russian arms"
