OoWAnDICE ON THE SIRIo.
Calamity Might Have Been Avoided but
 for This.

Barcelona, Aug. 7-The Italian steam- or Umbria has arrived here. Her cap tain declares that he passed the Hor- migas Islands shortly after the wreck of the Sirio, and remained in the vicin- ity for four hours without perceiving any survivors. He went on board the wreck and made sketches of such por- tions of the steamer as were still visi- ble. He also took off some of the per- sonal property of the captain. He is of the opinion that the calamity would have been insignificant had everybody on board the Sirio remained cool headed.
 Alicante, Spain, Aug. 7.-survivors of the sirio who have been landed here declare there was ample time to organ ize a system of rescue before the ves- sel sank, but that the officers and crew abandoned the ship, whereupon a panic ensued.

pleasant spot can be found for a hot
day than the Chautauqua grounds
here. The choral classes under the di-
rection of Professor and Mrs. Dawdy,
are getting settled to work. The boys,
with DR.. Searles as leader, and the
girls, with Miss McElhinny, are doing
fine work. and these are very attrac-
tive features of the Chautauqua pro-
gram. DIR. Iyenaga, a Japanese of fine
ability and attachments from the Uni
versity of Chicago, gave lecture
Thursday morning which was an in
tellectual treat His theme was a
comparison Of oriental and occidental
civilizations. The doctor speaks ex>
cellent English and yet has an accent
which renders him a little difficult to
follow without the closest attention.
But all who listened attentively to his
address were charmed with him. On
Friday evening he will give an illus
trated lecture upon Japan, and no one
can afford to miss this entertainment,
as it will be most unusual treat.

PLAN 70 DEFEAT cUMMIlNs.
Democrats Agree on Platform Provid-
ino for Tariff Revision.

Des Moines. Aug. S.-Prominent Iowa
in Des Moines yesterday and practic-
ally outlined the tariff platform on
which they hope to defeat Albert b.
Cummins. who was nominated by the
republicans in state convention here
Wednesday.
Their tariff plank will be one de-
mapding tariff for revenue only, but in
addition will demand immediate revis-
ion Of the tariff schedules on steel.
lumber and other products controlled
by monopoles. This is the reform on
which Governor Cummins had made his
fight and gained a reputation as a
tariff revisionist. But as a peace Of
fering to the sta,rdpatters in the tum-
ultuous convention here 1T is claimed
the governor consented to leave out of
the republican platform all mention of
specific revision. So the democrats
hope to secure thruout the state those
followers OF Cummins who have rallied
under his standard of tariff revision
and who are now disgruntled because
he did not to the end demand immed-
late revision of the tariff:
Among those who attended the con-
ference were John 3. Dennison, OF Du-
buque candidate for the nomination
for governor; Claude Porter OF Center
vile, also mentioned FOR governor:
former Congressman Butler. in charge
of the democratic state headquarters
here: II. c. Evans and John T. Null
vaney. prominent attorneys Of Des
Moines and others. 1t is said the DEM
ocrats will have a good natured fight
on the naming of the gubernatorial
candidate.

Satisfied.

Des Moines;. Aug 3.--"You may say
for me- said Senator Jonathan p. Dol
liver, that J. believe the work of the
convention was done carefully and de-
Iiberately. The proceedings seem to
have been governed by consideration
and a desire to promote party unity
and welfare. / feel sure nothing but a
little time and reflection are needed to
unity and harmonic the republican
party Of this state"
rebellion in the party is as bad and
as disastrous as rebellion in the ma
ton said Congressman William r.
Hepburn, of the Eighth district.
"smarting under the disappointment of
fresh defeat. men may give vent to
their feelings, but tomorrow when the
blood is cooler, they will look at things
from calmer and wiser point of view.
Sulkiness has no place in political par
ties. They make a mistake If they
think they can run a party that way.
If a party is to endure and continue
to give it's best service to the state and
nation 1t must be recognized that the
majority must rule, and the minority
must remain loyal to whatever the ma
jority decides is best. 1t is pleasant,
of course, to have ones own ideas tri-
umph. but If they fail we must grin
and bear It, We must maintain the
unity of the party and support what it
regards as most advisable. Otherwise,
we should degenerate and failure
would be our portion at the polls"

diction by Science" Not Politics.
Special to Times Republican
Sioux City. Aug. 3.-Professor Willis
Marshall, who foretold the great San
Francisco earthquake eight hours pre-.
vious to it's occurrence, and who told
the people Of Omaha early in March
that James G. Dahlman would be elect
ed mayor Of that city, is also said to
have predicted the defeat of George d.
Perkins for the nomination. Of governor.
He said:
George D. Perkins will be hopeless
ly and for all time defeated in his as
pirations for governor OF the state.
Governor Cumnins will be nominated
and elected by a splendid majority
M. Cummins will be given seat in
the United States senate within three
years from date"
Professor Marshall made the predic-
ton not as a politician, but, as he
claims, by science.
For some time Professor Marshall
has been devoting himself to studies
which deal with the signs of the times,
ard he asserts that his prediction that
Mr.. Perkins would be defeated was no
mere idle guess of man who is we'll
informed in politics, no result of weigh
ing the strength of the two candidates,
but according to every sign of changes
in the government of nations and the
supremacy OF political ideas, Mr.. Per-
l1ins was doomed to defeat.
