the latter always has been by far the most impor-

time to dabble in politics or in the mines, which
are mostly controlled by foreign capital. When a

OlutiOnists, he marshals these from his planta-
tons and speedily has army at agricultural labor

army is easy: merely enlist enough planters

ministers, governors of provinces, etc, after the

Here is where the comedy ceases and the tragedy
begins. The rank and file of the army are made
up of men who have rule little idea of the cause
for which they tramp and starve in the mountains
They struggle through thickets and swamps only

Some Countries Emerging

MEXICO, Paraguay, Uruguay, Brazil, Chile, and
w Argentine seem to have almost emerged from the
state OF instability in government which was once
their curse. In of them is the danger entirely
passed. This very year a revolution was started in
Uruguay that if it had been given twenty-four hours
time would have been serious. When Porfiro
DiaZ dies Mexico will Waver in the straight path
and the patriotic of her citizens are constantly
guard; for Don PorfiriO is seventy-six," they
tell each other daily. Outside influences combined
with superior agricultural and climatic conditions
responsible for the beterment in the countries
named. American capital has made Mexico, and
it American silver dollars that gave her her
great president.
The man to whom they belonged died after an
extremely useful and eventfu life last October in
Hamburg while on important mission for an
American military concern, and thousands of his
friends have not even heard OF his end. He

ARRESTED At
RACE COURSE
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.


WASHINGTON, April 2-The races at
Bennings today prevented the House of
Representatives from doing business for
several hours. 1t was known early in
the day that the programme in the House
was what is known as suspension day"
That means the consideration of bills on
the calendar, under suspension of the
rules, which are not seriously opposed.
tractive list of good things" offered at
the spring meeting of the washington
Jockey Club caused many lawmakers to
go to the races this afternoon.
The stay-behinds who fingered at the
Capitol to put through certain bills in
which they had personal interest were
plodding along under the weary routine
of the Suspension until nearly o. clock,
when the machinery engaged in grinding
out half-completed legislation broke down
for want of a sufficient number of will
ing workers to make a quorum.
It was observed that the attendance in
the House rapidly thinned out as the hour
for the first race at the track approached.
Friends of a pending measure vainly tried
to prevent the opposition from demand
ing the presence Of a quorum. but the
latter were determined. A row followed
and roll call disclosed the absence Of
a quorum The doors were closed and a
call of the House was issued. Dozens OF
deputy sergeants at arms. delighted at
the assignment, were sent to the track
70 arrest absent Representatives and
bring them back to their duties at the
Capitol. A quorum was eventually se-
cured and executive business was re-
sumed.

ALBANY, April 2.-AIl legislation in
the Legislature tonight centered on the
Hearst recount bill and the efforts of the
State administration forces in the AS
sembly to XIII that measure, without ap-
pearing in the open as its executioners.
The BILL which was on tonight's calen-
dar for final passage, was laid over until
tomorrow That was the disposition made
of it as stated in parliamentary language.
In point of fact the bill was killed. 1t
will be amended tomorrow and sent
to the printer for reprinting. or 1t may
be that 1t will be recommitted to the
judiciary committee.
Various stories were current tonight as
to the influences that arrayed the Gov
ernor against the bill, when only short
time ago he was understood to favor
IT'S passage One guess was that the
great financial Interests that the Gov
ernor quoted as desiring the retention of
Odell at the head Of the Republican
State organization had expressed also the
desire that Mayor Mcclellan should not
be disturbed in possession Of his Office.

SUGAR TRUST INDICTED.

NEW YORK. April At was under
stood today upon trustworthy informa-
tion that while the Federal Grand Jury
has not completed its investigation
into the alleged rebating practices OF
the sugar trust and the railways two
indictments not only have been decided
upon but actually drawn.
These two indictments. which, 1t is
reliably understood, name the sugar
trust and the New York Central Rail-
way Company, are to be the forerun-
ners of others which viii name, ac-
oording TO the same authority, several
trunk lines carrying westbound freight.
There is every probability, also. that
indictments will be returned against
the officials of the various companies
as individuals, the Elkins antitrust
laws providing for such findings.
The two indictments thus far de-
cided upon will be handed down before
next Friday. What action the Federal
authorities will take is decidedly in
teresting to lawyers, because of the pe-
culiar provisions of the Elkins law
and the further fact that corporations
are not, as a rule iRiictable. Exactly
how Henry L. Stimson, the United
States District Attorney, proposes to
arrest corporation is a question which
neither he nor United States Marshal
Henkel will discuss.
The penalty set by the Elkins law is
a fine of not less than $1,000 nor more
than $20.0 AS the traff1c of the sugar
trust represents trif1e more than 40
per cent Of the entire westbound freight
carried by the westbound trunk line
associations, ii is not probable, the law
yers not retained by the corporation
point out, that the railways. If con-
victed, will seriously regard even the
maximum fine.

NEW YORK. April 2.-The real condi-
ton of Senator Chauncey M. Depew.
about which there has been much uncer-
tainty for some time, was learned today
from one who has been his intimate
friend for the past thirty years, and
who. IN ali this time, has been In con-
stant communication with him.
THE real trouble with the Senator.
said this friend. is that he is broken
hearted and do not believe that he will
take an active part in affairs again.
There is nothing specific the matter with
him physically, but the withdrawal of
that public feeling of cordiality that was
ever so dear to him has had most seri-
Gus effect.
Senator Derew is now residing In
villa on the Elliot F. Shepard estate, near
Scarborough on the Hudson. where he Is
practically living the life of a hermit. his
only companion being the children or the

Special to Times Republican
Grinnell, Feb. 10.-At a call of Chair
man Boyd. the republican central
committee met here today, and the
date for the county primaries was
fixed for March 10th. The meeting
was held in the office of Ward and
Bray. The members of the commit
tee were all present as We're all the
candidates for county office In select
ing the date for the primary it was
agreed that the call would be subject
to any legislation providing for pri-
maries. Should a primary law be
passed subsequent to the primary it
is altogether likely all the candi-
dates will abide by the decision of
the primary March 10. An attempt
was made in the meeting today to
get all the candidates to pledge them
selves to that effect and practically
all of them did SO. The subject. how
ever, aroused considerable discussion.
The most interesting contest Is that
