THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: MONDAY, ; "CURRENT NEWS OF IOWA. COUNCIL ROUNDISG UP THE SALOONS Democrats Visit Owners in Beareh of Oam- paign Funds MANY ARE SAID TO HAVE CONTRIBUTED Reports from Olty and Outside Pre- elncts Continue to Indicate o Sweeping Republican Vie- tory THesday. There 1s an aching vold in the treasury of the democratic county central committee despite the liberal contributions of “Jim- mie” O'Neil, the aged candidate for sheriff, @and Chairman Miller has sent out the word that something must be done before Tues- day, Why the saloons of the city should be taxed to fill the coffers “of the democratic campalgn fund is not wholly apparent, but it Is nevertheless a fact that they have been called upon to contribiite, and liberally at that. W. H. Ware, an attorney and democratio nomineo for state senator, and Robert Huntington, & ward politician, have been acting as a ‘“soliciting’’ committee and rounding up the salobnkeepers on Broad- way. Whether it was due to the fear that the provisions of the mulct law might be | enforced agalnst them or not Is not known, but it is said that the committee was quite successful in securing contributions, George 8. Davis, treasurer of the schoo.s, Is sald to have helped another committee which interviewed the saloon men on South Main street. Treasurer Davis is sald to have Pproved himself a most persuasive solicitor, sithough not a few Of the saloonkeepers protested against being assessed. Reports receiyed yesterday by Chairman Wright of the repiiblican county 'central committee from the gpuntry precinets show that all that if meeded for a sweeping re- publican victory Tuesdly will be to get the vote out. T hout the county the great- est satisfaction’js gxpressed with the enitire ticket and there aré no complaints like there are from the democrats on their ticket, Even from Neola, long recpgnized as a democratic ’-&wlhald, comes au- then! iven ' to' the| eftect that the re- m lfi: this year poll & Targer vote than ever and that L.

Mr. Rohref deemed it ad- visable to defer the meeting With the architect until the members of the board have been given further opportunity to in- spect other Iibrary bufldings. He particu- larly thinks that the board should at least visit the Carnegle lbrary at Lincoln be- fore deciding upon any plans for the bufld- ing here. Some of the members of the board do not concur with the views of the president and have expressed the convic- tion that no ultimate good will come by the postponement and belleve that it will only result in needless delay in the prep- aration of the plans. Comen to Meet Stickney. J. P. Elmer, general passenger agent of the Greit Western raflroad, with head- quarters in Chicago, arrived in the city last evening to meet President Stickney and the party of Minnesota capitalists on thelr arrival here this morning. Mr. G. F. Thomas, who accompanied Mr. Elmer, sald he had been informed that the party with President Stickney would number twenty-five. The party, he had been ad- vised, would stay in Council Bluffs until 11:30 a. m., when it would cross the river to Omaha. MINOR MENTION. Davis sells drugs. Stoakert sells cigars.

TARIFF REVISION TO B THE KEYNOTE » Express Satistac- with the Situation and Democrats Hope to Make (From a Staft Correspondent.) DES MOINES, Nov. 1.—(Special.)—The state campalgn is virtually at an end and the campalgn managers of both parties are cleaning up the scattered remains of @ great political fight in lowa. They all ‘e that it has been the most peculiar fight the state has ever known. The work of the campalgn has been irregular and un- satisfactory from any point of view. The campaign managers have found that while in some places there have been local fights causing great interest, in many others there has been apathy on the part of all voters. It is regarded as certain that the vote will be a comparatively light one and that the democrats will be gainers by this fact. The campaign managers today gave out the following statements: Chalrman R. H. Spence, republican state committee: “Every indication points to a splendid republican victory in Iowa next | Tuesday and the triumphant election of | the entire republican ticket. The repub- licans are united and harmonious on the issues of the campalgn. Qur ticket is con- spicuous in the ability of the men com- posing it and the administration of Gov- ernor Cummins has been above: criticism. The meetings held under the auspices of the republican committee have been uni- formly successful. The apathy which was manifest at the beginning of the campaign his been very generally dispelled and there promises to bé a heavy vote polled, thus making, it certain that the republican ticket will recelve an ‘overwhelming en- dorsement at the hands'ef the peaple. Elec- tions will be held in twenty-nine senatorial districts and in all of the 100 representative districts. Twenty-one senators hold over, elghtéen republicans and three democrats. The result in the 129 legislative districts will be 100 republicans, elghteen democrats and eleven in doubt.”” Hope to Make Gain Chairman A. E. Jackson, democratic state committee: "“The work of the cam- paign, so far as the democratic state cen- tral committes is concerned, practically closed last evening. I am very well satis- fled with the situation throughout the state as it exists and anticipate a very satls- factory democratic gain throughout the entire state. The democratic state ticket in its personnel has proved to be entirely satisfactory and the party is solidly united In every county. I belleve the sentiment of the average voter of the state Is in ac- cord with our position on both national and state issues. It is gradually dawning upon the minds of Iowa voters that a change would be beneficlal. With! these things In mind and based on reperts from every voting precinct in the state I think it is safe to prediot that if Mr. Cummins s elected it will be by a not' formidable majority, and I am satisfied that the demo- cratic party will make a gain of not less than, twenty members in the general as- sembly. The election of a:large number. of mew county officers is assured without doubt.” No close estimate can be made of the work of the minor parties. The socialists expect an increase; the prohibitionists are likely to lose, and the populist vote will be of no consequence at all. The republicans generally estimate from 60,000 to 75,000 majority for Governor Cum- mins. The democrats concedd from 40,00 to, 50,000, Fight Over Tariff Revision. The campaign has been largely fought on the question of the revision of the tarift with relation to the markets of the world, and especially with regard to the policy of reciprocity as a compliment to the protection principle. An interesting addition to this discussion came yesterday in the form of a letter from Albert W. Swalm, formerly of Oskaloosa, now consul at Southampton, written to Governor A. B. Cummins. Mr. Swalm in this letter says: “You need not think you have & monop- oly of all the republican meetings, ‘cause you haven't. On the evening of October £, after a very good dinner with appetites to fit, there was a family republican meet- ing held in my den—Haslemere house— where by the good favor of Mr. Piper I had the pleasure of addressing the meet- ing by reading aloud all of your opening speech in Des Moines barracks, and the same was received with applause, repeated and continued. More especlally with fa- vor’ was that portion received which treated of reciprocity, and in which you have taken the right view, and. the one which we as @ country must adopt If we would hold or increase our trade beyond our own backyards. For years I was a bellever in the doctrine as lald down- by the great Blaine in this matter. My years in South America as consul, looking up our trade advantages—chiefly disadvantages— and noting how our general trade com- | petitors were doing on these lines, made me more of a convert to that doctrine than ever before; and it seemed to me that only sheer blindness to our own best and lasting interests could elther delay or de- feat the coming of the real practical es- tablishment of reciprocal relations with ! our brethren in South America, to say nothing of a wider field. Of that end of the continent I do know—practically and as a business man—and I know that we should do more than 10 per centfof the exports 1o those count: the percentage in average that we do new—but which we can only incresse by action of the kind mutual und reciprocal trade | arrangements. All the European nations are doing this in that section. In one way | or another they ‘get there, and they do it at the expense commerclally of those who are #o cocksure that they know it all and do not need to follow even though the game shows up successfully. 1 am a proteetion- ist of no recent date, but I belleve (hat proper reciprocity is absolutely the safety and salvation of the real doctrine of pro- teetion, and the quicker we see this point the better for us in many ways. Such, at least, is my opinion, and the prergy dis- cussion in England ts that others beside ours i some thinking on the matter they will do more than think. | that e were found on the same lne," | eovered by Estimates of Majorl The estimates which are being made by the politiclans as to the actual majorities to be given the republican state ticket In Towa this year differ greatly. It ls known that while the committees refuse to give | out any figures the expectation is at the headquarters of both the republicans and the democrats that the majority of two years ago, which was over 83,000, will be reduced. Perscns counected with the re- publican state commitiee are saying that | the republican majority on the head of the ticket at least will g0 as low as 26,00, The democrats do not expect this, however, and well-lnformed politiclans who are dis- . : o L interested may that the majority will be something like normal, or about 50,000 to 90,000, Possibly by reason of the activity of the democrats this year and the open bolt of a large number of republicans who have become disgruntled for one reason or another the majority for Cummins will g0 below this figure. Governor Cummins confidently expects at least 75,000 majority this year, which will be a remarkable re- sult In view of the bitter fight made on him inside and outside the party Mr. Cummins has had wonderful success In his campaign and has been greeted by great crowds. In nearly every part of the state where he has gone there has been the greatest enthusiasm. Many of his meectings have been better -than those he addressed two years ago In the same sec- tions of the state, At the same time it Is well understood that the phenomenal ma- Jority of two years ago was due largely to the disaffection of the democrats with their candidates. This year the democrats are reasonably well united and harmonious. Remarkable Bank Case. The supreme court of Towa has granted A rehearing In the soiewhat celebrated case of the Banca de Sonora against the Bankers' Mutual Casualty Company of this city. The plaintiff in the case is a banking company at Bl Paso and it was Insured against loss in the Des Moines company. A package was sent contalning money and it was lost and the bank clatmed relmbursement from the Insurance com- pllliy. The question turned on whether or not & mail box, in which the package was placed, was a part of the Dflltomlc‘:, and the court declded it was and was to be regarded the same as the postoffice. The casualty company appealed and was beaten, but now gets a second attempt at 1t, Supreme Court Rehearings. The Towa supremé court granted an un- usual number of rehearings in the term Just closed.

Irwin Onse Disposed 0f, The famous case Involvi Irwin lands in Clay county was m":':o.e':‘ T; by the supreme court the past term. The supreme, court has had the case before it for sgme time In various forms. Irwin was an eccentric character who became pos- sessed of a vast amount of land in Jowa and Nebraska, and he becanfe Insane long be- fore he died. While insane some of his land was sold for taxes. The sult was to set aside the tax deeds. The supreme court last evening rendered a decision which re. ‘versed a portion of the dectsion previously rendered and generally modified the décision 80 that the present owners of the lands will 8et a chance to show ownership against the :'r'wln heirs. From this last decision two of n:‘n’::‘.'i; of the supreme court dissented Army Post Celebration. The program for the celeb; Molres is now nearly completed, and 1t will tnclude three days of & general carnival commencing November 12 next. There will be a number of the leading men of the army present, Including General Young, General Corbin and others.

THEY CHARGE RUSSIA WITH BAD FAITH Allege Action of Chinese Officer in Killing Noted Bandit Once Em- ployed by Czar's Represen: tive Led to Trouble, PEKING, Nov. L—The Chinese goverd- ment is greatly disturbed at the reoccupa- tion of Mukden, the capital of Manchurla, by Russian troops. The foreign office is appealing to friendly forelgn legations for help and advice, admitting its own help- lessness In the matter. The Russians returned to Mukden on Thursday of last week. According to ad- vices received by the Chinese government, 1,500 Russian soldiers took possession of the official bulldings there, barricaded the gates and evicted the Chinese oficlals. There are between 10,000 and 12,000 Chinese troops in and about Mukden and the Chi- nese commanders in Manchuria have been given imperative orders in no wise to re- sist the Russian government and to use every effort to avert collisions. The cir- cumstances leading to reoccupation of Mukden are as follows: The Russians employed a noted brigand, who was accused of many crimes agalnst the Chinese, as chief of one of the irregu~ lar bands of police they are organizing In Manchurla. The Chinese authorities re- peatedly requested the surrender of this man and the Russians recently consented to give him up. Thereupon a Chinese of- ficer decapitated the brigand without giv- ing bim & trial. When this became known the Russians demanded the execution of this officer within five days, giving as an alternative the selzure of Mukden.
