SdtCo TiASO IOF meetings..
Chairman Woods of the republican
| state central committee has fixed the
| dates for the two first conferences as
follows:
Eighth-At Creston, Sept. IL.
First-At Burlington. Sept. 10.
These dates were fixed after con.
ference with District Committeemn
Copeland of the Eighth and Cowles
Of the First. The dates are satisfac.
tory, also, to the republican candi.
dates for congress-
Urgent invitations to attend the
meetings will be issued by State
Chairman Woods and the district
committeeman to the chairman of the
county committees, the members of
the congressional committees, the can.
didates for Office. including the con-
gressmen, and the editors Of the re.
publican newspapers within each dis
triot.
AS satisfactory dates can be agreed
upon the state chairman will announce
further district conferences. It is be-
lteved that before the end of the
month all OF these conferences may
be gotten entirely out Of the way.
Committeeman Converse will ac-
company Chairman Woods ON the
visit to the districts, being in charge
Of the speakers bureau at the state
headquarters At that time he will
be able to ascertain the wishes Of
the congressional and other candi-
dates and the local managers as to
number and personnel OF the speak
ers.
May Bond Agents.
A proposition 10 require all fire in,
surance agents, solicitors, adjusters.
etc., to give bond is being considered
by the legislative insurance investi.
cation commission, now in session at
the state house.
At present 1t is said the companies
have no check on the agents except
their belief in the agents honesty.
Frequently irresponsible agents make
statements or promises to policy hold
ers which they have no right to bind
the company to obey, A FIRE occurs
and trouble between the company and
the assured follows.
The theory on which 1t ts proposed
to bond agents Is that then the COM
pany can settle with the assured with
out dispute argument or litigation,
and recover from the agent whatever
1t has unjustly paid the policy holder.
At present practically no agents are
under bond and practically any one
who wants to can solicit fire insur-
ance.
Dss Molnes Loses Brigade Post.
It is now practically certain that
Des Moines has lost its brigade army
post, despite the efforts Of Congress-.
man Hull. The war department has
purchased land for brigade post at
Indianapolis and started the work Of
construction. The reason for the
abandonment Of Fort Des Moines as
a brigade headquarters and the selec-
ton of Indianapolis, is the high price
asked for land south Of the post at
Des Moines. Owners wanted 5000 an
acre for 1t, and the government re-
fuses to pay 1t. Fort Des Moines will
be maintained as a regimental post,
will not be any larger in the near
future.

MUST Finish BUSINESS
SAYS SPEAKER CANNON

Washington, June 27.-Congrese
will stay in session until its work il
finished. This is the dictum of Speaker
Cannon and his lieutenants, and is be.
ing emphasized at this time to coun'
teract any impression that the pure
food bill at least might 60 over until
next session.
There is trouble on the meat inspec.
tion bill, and the "tie-up' on the rail
road rate bill indicates delay. The
immigration bill is also in conference,
as also are several of the appropria-
tion bills.
All of these things must be worked
out before any date for adjournment
is set, according to the decision of the
house leaders. When the work is
done an adjournment resolution will
be forthcoming in short order.
Members say there is is no need OF
prolonging the session if the conferees
make up their minds that the work
must be done and that agreements
which.will meet all demands can be
arranged on all matters speedily. If
the idea of prolonging the session for
the purpose of killing certain bills is
abandoned, they say, this week will
see the end.

Washington, June 25.-The senate

the president and tie house Of renra.
sentatives by declaring for a lock ca.
nal across the isthmus of Panama
The result was reached after a davis
discussion that was almost devoid of
interesting incident. There was univ
one record vote and that was negative
IN character, coming on a motion to
lay on the table the lock type substi.
tute for the sea level bill. This mo.
ton was voted down 81 to SO.
The vote is generally accepted az
settling the type of the great waterway
and terminates what at one time
threatened to become sharp differ.

and the president and the house on
the other. The engineers report has

and frequent attention has been called
to the fact that while eight of the thir-
teen engineers reported favorably to

Of continuous service of railway train
men to sixteen hours consecutive work,
TO be followed by ten hours rest
The much agitated eight hour day
bill received favorable vote in the
house labor committee, but was toe
late to secure action at the hands Of
congress.
The anti-injunction bill was post
poned in committee until the next ses.
sion.
Alaskan Delegate
Alaska was given the right to send
delegate to congress and an act was
passed whereby that territory will
have larger school and public i'm.
provement fund. The secretary of the
interior was also authorized to allot
homesteads to the natives of Alaska.
The Immunity Bath"
Ten bills relative to the courts OF
the United States were passed. The
important measure relative to court
procedure is that which prescribes the
exact procedure which must be fol
lowed by witnesses to secure immunity
from prosecution later.

SCHEME TO CONSTRUCT
CANAL ACROSS DARIEN

New York, June Ella Semana, -
a Spanish weekly news bulletin, pub
fishes report from Colombia that the
Bogota cover lment has in contempla-
tion a project for an interoceanic sea
level canal through Darien, modific-
alton of the original plan of the Atrato
Truando route. According to the pri-
vate advices which bring this infor-
nation, Colombia has been assured OF
the cooperation of various sister re-
publics of Latin America.
The plans for the canal do not pre-
sent any new engineering problem.
More than half of the total cost, which
it is estimated would be about &7O,.
OOO, 900, would be for labor. The la.
borers will be soldiers Of the Colon.
bian army and contingents OF soldiers
from the other. republics Interested
in the project. Each country is ex
pected to pay its own men as il they
were in actual service. This cooper
alton is to be paid for by shares -o1
stock Of the canal and by certain fran
Chieee.

BRYAN'S CONSERVATISM
DESCRIBED BY HIMSELF

Trondhjem, June 25.-Willian J.
Bryan arrived here yesterday to attend
the coronation. Mr.. Bryan, taking
for his text the statement that he was
being described as conservative. said !:
II am not responsible for the
phrases used in regard to me; but I
am resp, nsible for my position on
public questions. That position
ought to be we'll known. Take the
trust question, for instance, as it seems
to be uppermost just now. Ny posi-
tion is that private monopoly is indie
fensible and intolerable. That was
the Democratic platform in 1900, and
the plank was incorporated in 1904,
and it is the only tenable position.
''There is some talk Of controlling
the trusts. You might as we'll talk
Of controlling burglary. We do not
say they shall steal only little bit,
but that they shall not steal at all.
It is 50 Of private monopolies. It is
not safe to regulate them, they must be
absolutely and totally destroyed.
Corporations should be controlled, but
private monopolies must be extermin-
ated root and branch. Now, you can
call that a radical doctrine if you
wish. Yet it is more conservative to
apply this remedy now than to wait
until predatory wealth has by its law
less action brought odium on legiti-
mate accumulations.
''What used to be called radical is
now called conservative, because peo-
pie have been investigating. The
doctrine has not changed, but public
sentiment is making progress.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan will spend q
week in Norway and will then go to
England. They will sail for home
late in August.

lation President Roosevelt will issue,
in effect, the above order to Chairman
Shonts and Chief Engineer Stevnes
The president expressed great graf
ification at the action of the senate in
supporting his plan for lock canal.
He has been convinced for several
days that the lock type would be
adopted. A careful canvass Of the
senate had been made and he was as
sured that there would De safe ma
jority in favor of the lock type, which
he had advocated since the report Of
the engineers commission was re-
ceived.
1t was pointed out at the White
House that practically the same SEN
ators who voted against the lock canal
project also were opposed to the Pana-
ma treaty and so recorded their votes.
A Vote of Confidence
The president regards the vote of
congress on the lock type Of canal as a
vote of confidence. Orders will be is
sued in few days to push the work
as rapidly as possible, and it is an
nounced that before to push the work
as rapidly as possible, the summer is
far advanced as many men as can be
prof1tably employed will be making the

Upon being advised of the result of
the vote Chairman Shonts called on
Secretary Taft and began to discuss
plans for the prosecution of the work.
It was decided that the whole commits
sion should start for the isthmus at an
early moment, and that Chief Engin-
eer Stevens should accompany it. The
steamer Panama will sail Thursday
from New York, and on it the commits
sion will embark.

D0UMA A VEHICLE FOR

st. Petersburg, June 27.-The ses-
sion of the lower house of parliament
Yesterday was openly devoted to the
revolutionist propaganda for under

the direct object of their dissemina-

The authorities, who are able to
confiscate papers containing tele-
graphic accounts of the ferment among
the soldiery are unable to prevent the
publication of parliamentary speeches,
and those delivered yesterday are to-

MURPHY FAILS
OF DECISION. .
Harlem Boxer 0ulpOinted Matty
Baldwin in Fifteen Rounds Of
Hard Fighting.

|. CHELSEA, Mass, Dec. 12:-Tom-
my Murphy, of New York. was robbed
of the decision in his bout with Mat
ty Baldwin, at the Lincoln A. c., last
night, at the end of fifteen rounds of
hard fighting. Murphy outpointed
Baldwin from the start and, while
Baldwin was not in very bad way
at any time, Murphy out-boxed and
out-punched him.
Both men weighed in under one
hundred and thirty pounds There
was long delay before the men en-
fused to allow more than 1,400 per-
sons in the clubhouse and at the end
of the first preliminary arrested John
Purcell and John Ahearn. 1t was
then plain that If the Murphy Bald
win bout was allowed to go on that
it would be the last one in this state.
large number of New Workers.

arriving after the police put on the
ban Young Corbett and Charlie
White were the only ones seen in
side. Hughie McGovern was one of
those who cooled their heels outside.
Murphy was ten to six and two:
to one favorite, and the decision of
Jack Sheehan, the referee, was de-
cidedly unpopular one both for Muir
ply hackers and majority of the
spectators.

sshah Ha. Four Day. to Live.

TEHERAN, Persia, Dec 13.-The
condition of the shah remains practi-
cally unchanged. although he has raj
lied slightly At consultation of ply
sicians 1t was discovered for the first
time that his maiesty's heart has be-
come seriously affected, thus adding a
new complication to the situation,
which already was considered grave.
The condition of his heart and the re-
peated syncopes lead TO a concensus of
opinion that the shah cannot live more
than four days.
