HEPBURN NASBYS
TO HOLD OFFICE
Postmaster General Hitchcock Refuses
to Change Postmasters In the
Eisth District for Cum
Minis and DoIliver.
MERIT SYSTEM STANDS
Iowa Senators Call information and
Receive lt--There Will be
But Few Changes in
Iowa.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Dec. 17.-As
result of the conference which Sem
ators Cumnins and Dolliver have had
with Postmaster General Hitchcock.
it appears there will be few changes
made in Iowa postofiices, especially
in the eighth district.
1ncumbents who seek reappoint-
ment and who have records salts.
factory to the postoffice department
will be reappointed without reference
to what is desired by senators and
members of the house.
This information, which the post
master general has impaired to Sena-
tors Cummins and Dolliver, will have
an important effect on large num-
Der of offices in Iowa and it will be
a disappointment to many candidates
for postofiice appointments
Senators Cummins and Dolliver
went to see Mr.. Hitchcock for the pur-
pose specifically of grinding out
whether, If they made recommends
tions for postmasterships in the eighth
district, those recommendation would
be given weight. The postof1ces at
Lenox, Moulton and Shenandoah were
the ones which they had in mind to
be disposed of first, but there is a
long list outside OF these where the
1 terms Of postmasters will expire be-
fore many months.
They were informed that the depart
niert would not listen to recommends
ltions in cases where the incumbent
desired another term and his SER
vice had been satisfactory. Other
wise. if the department considered
the incumbents not satisfactory then
it would notify the senators that a
change was to be made and any
recommendations they made would
determine.
4 This means that nearly every post
master in the eighth district who
wants to hold his place will do so II
the department considers him eff
cient 1t also means that those candl-
dates who have been thinking to get
appointments will, in most cases, be
disappointed

Despotic and TyrannicaI Ruler Of
Nicaragua Has Sent In His
Resignation as Chief
Executive.
WAS HIS ONLY COURSE
With His People Against Him, Ameri-
can Gun Boats Surrounding
Him and Defeat Almost
Certain.

MANAGUA, Nicaragua, Dec. IT,
Jose Santos Zelaya has resigned from
the presidency of Nicaragua. He
placed his resignation in the hands of
congress. Apparently there was no
other course for him to take. The
people were at last aroused. The guns
of the revolutionists threatened The
warships of the United States lay in
Nicaraguan ports.
Managua has been seething for days
The spirit of revolt has spread even to
the gates of the palace. Zelaya sur
rounded himself with an armed guard
Unchecked, the populace have march
ed through the streets, crying for the
end of the old, proclaiming the new
regime.
Who will take up the reins no one
knows nor cares. 1t is sufficient that
Zelaya as dictator will be known no
more. There Is no doubt that con-
gress will act quickly on his resigna-
tion, for the people have demanded it.
DR.. Jose Madriz, Judge of the Cen
tral American court of justice at
Cartago, who has been close to Zelaya
and is now his choice for president, is
on his waynhere. He will arrive on
Saturday. Madriz has his following,
strong and influential, even among the
revolutionists, but Gen. Estrada, under
whose command the great body OF
fighting insurgents now face Vas
quez's troops at Rama, will have none
of him. Estrada's word will beaz
weight in the choice of president.
Zelaya has known. too, that Madri7
is not acceptable to the United States
and he has sought to learn who would
be looked upon with favor by that gov
ernment as his successor, but the
American government, SO far as car
be learned, has named no man, and
the choice probably will lie with those
who have gained the upper hand.
Accompanying his resignation
Zelaya sent the following message tc
congress:

Text of Resignation.


The painful circumstances in which
the country is plunged call for aIs
of abnegation and patriotism on the
part of the good citizens, who are the
Witnesses of the oppression of the re-
public by the heavy hand of fate.
The country is staggering under a
shameless revolution which threatens
the nations sovereignty and for
eign nation unjustly' intervenes in our
affairs, publicly providing the rebels
with arms. which has only resulted
In their being defeated everywhere
through the heroism of our troops.
To avoid further bloodshed and for
the reason that the revolutionists have
declared that they would put down
their arms when surrendered the
executive power, | hereby place in the
hands of the national assembly the
abandonment of the remainder of my
term of office, which IS to be filled
by a substitute of their choosing, with
the hope that this will result in good
to Nicaragua, the establishment of
peace and particularly the suspension
Of the hostility of the United States,

text for intervention

appointed to draft bill looking to

tion spread throughout the city and
soon great crowds moved through the
streets, shouting for the United States,

Who Will Succeed?


MANAGUA. Dec. 17.-The one
thought in the mind of every citizen
here today is. who will succeed Jose
Santos zelaya as president.
While there is a well developed
movement in favor Of Dr. Jose Mad
riz, those who hope for peaceful
outcome of the present revolution, are
urging for the rejection of Madriz by
Congress and the selection of some
one who has not been actively iden-
tilted with either Zelaya or Estrada
factions.
News from Rama and Bluefields
that Madriz is not acceptable to the
revolutionists makes it apparent to
the more conservative people that hfs
selection would only prolong the re-
solution and result in another change
