A PREACHER IN Bremen county, Iowa,
has invoked the law 10 prevent the
women workers in the beet sugar in
dustry from wearing trousers while at
work. The women have struck rather
than wear skirts, which interfere with
their movements. The local Justices of
the Peace refuse to prosecute, but the
church people say that the wearing of
male neither garments by the women is
immoral. The settlement of the cues
lion between church and State is awaited
with interest.

rhe Gan-Nelson Fight To-day.

GOidfield, New, Sept 3.-All' Gold
field is ready for the battle between Joe
Cans and Battling Nelson, for the light
weight championship, this afternoon.
The fighters are here ready to enter the
ring when the hour arrives. The
conditions of the fight are apparently
really settled 80 that even Billy Nolan
can think of no concessions TO demand of
bis protege's dusky opponent, aud the
people are ready.
New York, Sept 9.-The following
are the opinions of few OF the leading
lights 10 the world of sports ON the
probable outcome OF today's battle at
Gold6eld, New, for the lightweight
championship between Battling Nelson
and Joe Cans Jim Jeffries-fians will
be the winner, no matter how long they
fight. Bob Fitzsimmons-l expect to
see Cans put Nelson to sleep inside of
four rounds. Jim Corbetl-Gans never
had an equal, aud is so much better
than Nelson, that you can't dope them.
John l.. Sullivan pick Joe Cans as
winner in six rounds by knockout.
Cans still rules 10 to in the betting
The latest reports from his camp have
given his supporters reason to continue
their offers at these odds. Even then
little Nelson money has been put up this
morning. Altogether, however, it is as
serted that fully 5000, 600 in money has
been bet and as much more in mining
claims.

MONDAY EVENING. SEPT. 8. 1906

A BELATED speech on the tariff, pur-
norting 10 have been delivered By Con-
gresham McCleary on June 20, has just
been published 10 special number of
the Congressional Record. The reason
for holding it back until now is evident,
for il could not be published until
President Roosevelt had decided to stand
nat, as the speech took the position that
the President was on the same ground as
the protective tariff league, which adj
yances The idea that the tariff law is ss-
cred contract with the trust and combines
that il would be wicked to abrogste. The
publication now of this belated speech
gives an inside history of the factionsl
fight in the republican party, over iarih
revision. For when this speech pur-
ports TO have been delivered, both the
tariff reform faction and the ultra pro-
tectionists we're claiming the President
AZ on their side of the issue and 1t was
not until the now famous stand-pat
agreement between Speaker Cannon and
the President at Oyster Bay was con-
summated that it was known which
faction should really claim him. The
McOleary speech was evidently held 10
allowance until the stardpatters captured
the President. There is no doubt that
the protective tariff league, with Its IN
fluential hackers, the trust monopollsls,
had been diligently "working" President
Roosevelt. to show him that to persist IN
advocating tariff revision wonld "spll

paratively small following. That argu-
ment was too much for Mr.. Roosevelt
and he surrendered TO the standpat fac

PERRY'S EXPEDITION Is BOUND

Hope of Hearing From Him This Win
ter Is Abandoned by His
Friends.

New York, Oct. l6.-The middle
OF October having been reached, the
time set for receiving news from the
Peary expedition, hope practically
was abandoned tonight of hearing
this year from the band of explorers
which sailed from this port fifteen
months ago. If Peary has decided to
spend a second winter in the arctic
circle. 1t was expected that news
would come from the expedition
through the whalers when they sail
into Dundee, Scotland. at the end of
their cruises.
The whalers have failed to come
into port and this is taken that un-
usual weather conditions prevail in
the arctic, and that the entire fleet
has been caught in the ice. This
proving true. IT is probable that the
Peary steamer Roosevelt may not
have been able to get out of the ice at
all this summer, and that Peary, after
making his successful dash and re-
turning to his ship, was compelled to
go into winter quarters.
