RESULT OF cAucUsEs AND CON-
MENTIONS SATURDAY WERE
FAVORABLE 70 PERKINS
THE PRESENT LINEUP

Delegates to $50 for Governor

Both Sides Claim chlokasaw coun.
ty.

Des Moines, May 28.-The result OF
the caucuses and conventions Satur-
day were favorable to Perkins and the
Sioux City mans campaign today that
Governor Cummins now has only a
minority of all the delegates elected or
sure of election to the state conven-
ton. The figures up to Saturday night
are: Cummins, $50; Perkins, 536:
Rathbun, 1O4; indoubt, 26.
The caucuses in Pototawattamie,
Cass, Warren, Henry and Page coun-
ties, which were held Saturday, all
went against the governor. Delaware
county is claimed for Perkins, but the
Cummins people will contest it. In
Chickasaw county Perkins carried
New Hampton and Nashua, and Cum
minis carried Fredericksburg and Law
Ter. The county probably will be close
[and both sides claim it.
Warren, Cass and Pottawattamie
counties seem to have been a land
slide for Perkins, though in all of
them a strong fight was put up for
Governor Cummins. Council Bluffs,
Pottawattanie county, went practical.
ly solid for Perkins. and he carried Ne.
ola and Oakland in the same county.
Perkins Wins In cummlns' District.
Cummins carried Avoca and Walnut
but lost in the country, as well as in
Council Bluffs. In Warren county
which Is in Governor Cummins' home
district, the Perkins people captured
l37 delegates In the county convention
to SO for Cummins. The cleanup II
Cass was about as complete.
| Henry county is said to be for Rath
bun, and will send standpat delegates
Ito the state convention. The fina
caucuses in Fayette county were favor
able to Cummins. The Perkins mer
also secured instructions In the con
ventions held yesterday in Johnson
Iowa, Louisa and Wayne counties.
Lineup at Present Time.
A careful compilation Of the returns
from conventions and caucuses thus
far held seem to indicate that the fol
lowing is the lineup so far as can be
determined at present:

st. Petersburg, May 28.-Pessimism
outlook continues to grow. The gov
ernment as usual In every crisis seems
to be hesitating as to which course TO
pursue. The emperor refuses to yield
to the counsels of the court camarilla,
but his attitude continues to be mega
tive and not affirmative.
Hopes for Compromise.
He seems to cling to the idea that a
compromise is still possible. Several
official notes have been issued denying
that the government intends to resort
to force, but at the same time there IS
no evidence that the emperor Is ready
to yield to the demand for the super
cession OF the present ministry with
the one from the majority in the lower
house Of parliament. The result Is 9
virtual deadlock, the prolongnation Of
which can only serve to diminish the
chances of peaceful settlement.
No Recourse But Revolution.
The bold action OF the lower house
Of parliament on Saturday in censur.
ing the ministry and demanding its re
tirement was like deliberate slap IN
the face and a direct challenge that
the government, though inclined to
prefer its usual policy of temporizati0n
and compromise, hardly can avoid
meeting. Parliament has burned Its
bridges, and virtually has taken the
step which the French states general
did when it transformed itself into a
national convention. The govern.
ment's response to the douma's decla.
ration of defiance is awaited with the
most acute anxiety and fear in every
grade of society.
81. Government In Panic.
By Haunting the Fundamental, laws
and practically declaring that it FRO
doses to exercise full parliamentary
rights with responsible ministry, II
has become in the eyes of the law q
revolutionary body, and from that po
sition there seems no retreat.
The news Of the action Of the house
came like an electric shock, the people
generally being as greatly surprised as
the bureaucracy at the. promptness
with which the whole Of the govern
ment's policy was absolutely scorned
Both sides recognize the acuteness
and seriousness of the moment, but
panic is in the government and not the
popular camp.
Excitement in Corridors.

The City Under Prohibition.

Since the dispensary was voted out
OF the county in December there has
been more or less discussion az to the
relative extent Of drunkenness under
the old order Of things and the new.
The voting out of the dispensary has
certainly been bensficie | to the city
and county. There Las h5o1 iittio
complaint Of blind tigers, and it is
doubtful II the amount of whiskey
sold Illegally is any greater than Il
was year ago. The reCbrds OF the
Circuit Court chow that there has been
no apDreciable increase in the number
of cases for sellipg liquor.
An interesting comparison ia to be
had from the docket book Of the city,
During the months Of April, May
and June of last year, while the dis.
pensary was In force. there were IA
cases of drunkenness tried in the
mayors court. For the corresponding
period this year, after the dispensary
was voted out, the total number OF
cases was d.. The number Of case
io. abhtius, iisJTdde1.y conduct, etc,
growing out of the drinking evil,
shows q proportionate decrease for
Tho i:osonS year. Taking 81! 5ondi-
tl0ns into consideration, the improve
ment has been marked, and it. will
doubtlessly be even greater when the
whiskey problem is accepted as settiud
in the county. =. =
