Policy Attacked as UnrepubIican.
Des Moines, June 2.-Secretary Of
the Treasury Shaw came to Iowa to-
day to participate in the factional
fight which has broken out in the
Republican party in this state. He
delivered two speeches, in which he
attacked Governor Cummins for being
tariff revisionist In the afternoon
Secretary Shaw spoke at Newton to a
large audience and at night he ad-
dressed a big crowd at Knoxville,
these places being the chief towns in
counties whose delegates to the state
convention are being contested. 1t
was on the invitation of the Perkins
organization that Secretary Shaw ap-
peared at the two towns.
Secretary Shaw's addresses were
devoted to discussion of the tariff.
He assailed Republicans who demand
immediate revision, but he suggested
the possibility of such a program
after the 108 presidential election.

Until Life is Crushed Out.
Missouri Valley, Ia, June 4.-North-
western passenger train No. II, from
Omaha to ST. Paul, collided with a
freight train at California Junction,
six miles west of here, wrecking the
engine and mail car of No. IL and
causing the death of Engineer John
Murphy of Council Bluffs, who was
pulling the passenger. That more
people were not killed or injured was
probably due to the fact that Murphy
stuck to his post to the last minute,
and made heroic efforts to stop his
train after he saw that an accident
was unavoidable.

violent and unusual storm of cyclonic
character which visited the islands in
the latter part of 1905 destroyed about
81 100000 in value of The crop of

ever, this loss was made up by an in
crease in the production and exporta-

the exports of the islands fell off only
half a million of dollars.
"The imports of the islands were
reduced below the preceding year some
81 900, 900, making the balance of trade
in favor of the islands; that is, the ex,
cess of exports over imports was
about $6.000,000. A large part of the
reduction IN imports was due to the re.
duction in the Importation of rice. This
on the whole, is a good sign, for
the reason that it indicates that the
