Practically Certain That the

to Steal Black Hawk
cuMMlNs MEN WON FAIRLY
But by Protesting and Gaining Control
Of tho Organization Perkins Men
Practically Disfranchised the Whole
Of Waterloo Which Was for Cum
Minis.
special to Ti,nes-Republlcan.

Waterloo, June 9.-In spite Of the
fact that the. Cummins men carried
Black Hawk county, there will be a
contested delegation, in all probability
from that county Cummins was vic
torious in East Waterloo in last nights
caucuses winning by vote of 1858 for
Cummins to 927 for Perkins The fight
was one Of the most bitter in the his
tory of the county and Perkins
people employed the dirtiest kind Of
tactics, but were unable to poll
sufficient votes to get the del
egation. The -Cummins people
control the county organization and
with this advantage practically at
tempted to steal the county delegation
this afternoon. The result will be, in
all probability. contesting delegation
to the state convention at Des ltoines.
When the convention was called to
order late this afternoon A f.. Van
Valkenberg was named as chairman of
the convention. w. F. Parrott and j.
g. Hartman we're made secretaries. A
Perkins man then moved that the call
OF the supervisor districts be called
for the committee on credentials.
With the forty one delegates
from West Waterloo barred because Of
the protest of the Perkins men, the an
ti-Cummins delegates were in control
and the result was the credentials
committee is made up Of four Perkins
men and three Cummins men In all
probability the credentials committee
will vote to either throw out the West
Waterloo delegation or seat the anti
Cummins men, in which event they
would gain control and send delega-
tion instructed for Perkins. If this is
done the Cunmins men will hold a sep
rarate convention and nafpe Cummins
delegation to be sent to the state con-
vention at Des Moines. 1t is one of the
dirtiest pieces of political chicanery
ever attempted in Iowa.

CRUISER AFTER REBELS.
The Marblehead Sent to Investigate
FiIibusterins Expedition.

Washington, June 9.-Secrecy no
longer surrounds the movements of the
United States Cruiser Marblehead,
which sailed north from Panama, at
the request of the state department.
The Marblehead sailed for Sanjose,
Guatemala, to investigate movements
of the American steamer Empire,
which is reported TO have landed re-
cruits from San Francisco and arms
and ammunition for use of revolution
lists against President Cabrera. Dis
quieting dispatches were reported to
the state department today from Guat-
emala concerning the revolution. En-
emies of the present administration are
active in several parts of the repub-
lie, but it is impossibue to discover the
exact causes of the movement and di-
recting forces. The Empire coaled at
Cornto, Nicaragua, before sailing for
Sanjose, according to dispatches from
Panama There was no attempt to
conceal the fact that the steamer.
which was flying an American flag,
carried arms and ammunition. The
vessel is a tug seventy feet in length.

New York, June 9.-The identity OF
the murderer or the motive which
prompted the killing Of Mrs. Alice

to the police today, but the theory that

One Hundred Eighty ninth street. At

in locating the murderer. The police
today are trying to find the man who
on Mrs. Kinnan during the last two
months. The mystery in which the
case, IS hidden is deepened by the fact
that the whereabouts of Mrs. Kinnan's
husband is unknown. After trying in
vain for two years to fad him, and
bring suit for divorce against him, Mrs
Kinnan believed him to be dead, until
three weeks ago, when he was reported
to be in Brooklyn.

JONES FOR BRYAN
Former Chairman Of the Democratic
National Committee Predicts Bryan's
Nomin alton and Election to the
Presidency of the United States.

Washington, June 9.--Former Sena-
tor James X Jones. Arkansas, two
times chairman of the democratic -na-
tional committee and one of the closest
friends of William ]. Bryan, called on
the president today. Afterward he de-
clared for Bryan's nomination by the
democracy for the presidency. Il be-
lieve Bryan is che logical candidate for
the democratic party and my Judgment
is he will be the nominee and will
make the race under the democratic
standard for the third time. If he makes
the race, l think he will be elected.
Il am inclined to doubt whether
Bryan wants the nomination. Two
races for the presidency ought to be
enough to satisfy any man, but If the
convention should nominate him, do
not think he would refuse to run. I
believe he would stand for any other
candidate who espouses the same prin-
ciples he espouses.
