SHAW ON IOWA PLATFORM

SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY DISCUSSES TARIFF REVISION. Explains the Declarations of the RepnbMraai of His State No Specific Demand for Revision. MARSHALLTOWN. Ia., Oct. 28.-The largest meetings of the Iowa campaign were held here this afternoon and evening. Senator Allison delivered the principal address in the afternoon and Secretary Shaw also spoke briefly, covering his views of the tariff revision and the "Iowa idea." Secretary Shaw was the principal speaker to-night. His address in part follows: "The campaign in Iowa has assumed, it seems to me, more than merited notoriety. I confess to see notl ing in the Iowa platform which Justified the controversy. I was at Cedar Rapids when the same platform was adopted a year ago, and, while I recognized and called attention to the fact that the language employed was liable to be misinterpreted, I did not discover any difference of opinion as to the interpretation it ought to receive. Personally, I have always regretted the money plank of the Republican national platform of 1892. It, too, was ambiguous, and some construed it as declaring in favor of the free and unlimited coinage of silver. The tariff plank in our state platform is not a declaration In favor of tariff revision, nor is it a declaration against tariff revision. "Our political enemies demand a defense of the details of present tariff laws, and they charge us with standing pledged to the maintenance of existing rates. This is not the Republican position, and so, to officially answer the charge, it was eminently proper to make the declaration contained In the Iowa platform. For a month or more it was published broadcast that Massachusetts was ready to declare for tariff revision. The Massachusetts platform Is in harmony with the Iowa platform, but it is a little more specific, and, therefore, 1 like it quite as well. "If the stste convention of Iowa should declare specifically for tariff revision or for any specific remedy for trusts I doubt not the Iowa delegation will be very prompt to heed, and certainly the Iowa members of the Cabinet will bring the subject to the careJul attention of the President. This has not been done as yet, and therefore neither tariff revision nor anti-tariff revision Is a party measure in this State. Whether Congress would give heed to an utterance of a state convention in an off year on national questions calculated to qualify or enlarge the declarations contained In the national platform I am not prepared to say, though I remember that even the members of the Iowa delegation did not consider themselves bound by the anti-Porto Rican memorial passed in 1900 by the lower house of our General Assembly. How soon we may expect a substitute for the Iingley tariff law I am not prepared to predict. The responsibility is with the Congress. The Republican party never submits details of legislation to a vote at the polls. It lays down the great doctrine of protection to American labor and it fights for this principle at the polls, but It leaves to the Congress elected by the peo- ;. the task of carrying out the details of t-gisiatlon in harmony with principle. "1 anticipate some opposition will be engendered among Republicans and Democrats alike if an attempt shall be made to remove the tariff from such articles as are produced by large corporations, popularly called trusts. The idea is not novel. It has been urged in times past, and some very excellent people both East and West, whose good Judgment Is entitled to the FAIR AND WARMER TO-DAY.

weightiest consideration, are now urging It. Wt can stand high prices far better than we can idle labor. ""Before the remedy can be applied it will become necessary to determine the fact whether a trust exists or not. and if it exists and that fact can be established the Sh?rman law Is quite sufficient to correct the evil. Certainly no one will wish to apply the Breckinridge idea of a removal of the tariff on trust-made goods to an industry upon a naked rumor that it is controlled by a monopoly, but It will take no more evidence to throttle It under the Sherman act than it will to lay the foundation for fce application of the Breckinridge idea."

Mr. Moody on Traut. PAWTUCKET. R. I.. Oct. 28 Secretary of the Navy William II. Moody and Congressman Capron spoke at a Republican rally here to-night. Secretary Moody, after saying that he brought greetings from President Roosevelt, plunged at once into a discussion of trusts, which, he said, was the paramount issue of the campaign. He referred to Attorney General Knox's work against trusts, which has been along five lines, namely, against monopolies which gave different railroad rates; against monopolies in traffic pooling; against combinations controlling food products; against mergers of competing railroads, and against stock watering. Congressman Capron spoke or David B. Hill as the next Democratic candidate for President. BOTH WANT SAME CITIES NO PEACE AGREEMENT YET RETWEEÜ WARRING BALL, LEAGUES. Mr. Watklns Still In Xew York. Endeavoring to Secure HarmonyWestern League May Weaken. NEW YORK, Oct. 28. The national basehall board of arbitration resumed its sessions to-day. The board had before it repräsentatives of the Western League and American Association, trying to find an amicable solution of the difficulty. Late to-night it was announced that the board had taken an adjournment until to-morrow, without having fount, any definite plan of settlement. A fair and proper readjustment of the territory seems to be the stumbling block. It is explained that the American Association, with cities like Louisville, Columbus and Indianapolis, believes that the Western League should withdraw its teams from both Kansas City and Milwaukee. These are two of the best cities in the circuit of either organization. Last year both had rival clubs and financial disaster was the result to all hands. The Western League people are not over anxious to get nut n f ifhr k'jnsm fitv or Milw.nikc,' The matter may be adjusted by the American Association taking one of the cities and the Western League the other. Lach organization would then taKe an additional city to complete the circuit. President Brice, of Columbus, and President Watklns, of Indianapolis, are taking part in the conference on behalf of the American Association, while Van Brunt, of St. Joseph, and M. H. Sexton, of Rock Island, are taking care of the interests of the Western League. When seen to-night, President Powers, of the National Association, said that while nothing definite had been done, the outlook for a settlement was good. Night Game of Baseball. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. MUNCIE, Ind., Oct. 28.-Muncie and Elwood indoor baseball teams played their first game in the Auditorium to-night. Muncle was too fast for the visitors. Stroup's work for Muncie at second was the feature. Manager Scharf, of Muncie, is organizing an indoor baseball league among the cities included in the Western Roller Polo League. Score: Muncie 6 0 1 6 0 2 1 2 0-18 Elwood 2 1 0 0 0 1 2 0 410 Batteries Scharf and Berry; Sinclair and Hunt. Marlon H. S. May Play Here. It is very likely that the football team from the Marion High School will come here next Saturday to meet the Shortridge eleven at the business Men's Driving Park. Manager Tuck, of the S. H. S. team, has practically closed the date with the Marion team. The Marion team will bring a bra; crowd of rooters, and a lively contest Is expected, äs they have not been defeated this year and have piled up a score of over 150 points on their opponents thus far thus season. A Sunday Game. The State Field team will play the Y. M. I. team Sunday afternoon at the State Field grounds. The teams are evenly matched and a good game is expected. SEISMIC DISTURBANCES. Forty-Five Shocks Felt at San Cristobal In Southern Mexico. MEXICO CITY. Oct. 28.-The latest news from the southern part of the republic is that the people are less alarmed over the shower of ashes than when the sun was otscured. In some places rain has com3 and cleared the atmosphere. Subterranean noiscp arc heard at Tuxtla, and this phenomenon appears to be general in the district where ashes fell. There were up to Saturday forty-five distinct shocks of earthquake at San Cristobal. Palenque advices are that no change can be observed from there in the shape of San Juan mountain, but loud and prolonged explosions are tiequent. Ashes fell all day yesterday. Scientific men In Tabasco say the force required to precipitate such an immense quantity ot ashes over so extensive a territory would be equal to 300.000 horse power. The Indians say that the mountain called Hulatepec is in eruption, but this is not confirmed. Covered with Volcanic Ashes. HAVANA. Oct. 28. The Ward line steamer Vigilancia entered this port to-day covered with volcanic ashes which fell upon her during Sunday between Vera Cruz and Progresso, off the Isthmus of Tehuantepec. There have been volcanic eruptions and other disturbances In southern Mexico recently, which would account for the volcanic dust falling on the steamer Vigi-lam-ia. The volcano of Santa Maria, in Guatemala, and others are reported to be active, and dust from them has been carried many hundreds of miles over the surrounding country. Wires Destroyed by Earthquakes. NEW YORK, Oct. 28. The Western Union Telegraph Company's central cable office boa been advised by the Mexican government that because of earthquakes all telegraphic communication with Mapastepec, Hulxtla. Tapachula, San Benltoa. t'hicharro. -Motozintla, Monte Cristo and Tenosique is interrupted. Membership of Reformed Churches. PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 28,-Co-operatlon along several Important lines of religious effort was reported at the concluding sessions to-day of the American section of the alliance of reformed churches holding the Presbyterian system.

MAY BE AN ARCHBISHOP

BISHOP JOHN L. SPALDING LIKELY TO BE PROMOTED. Gossip About the Vacancy Caused by the Death of the Hi lit Rev. Patrick A. Feenan. ROME, Oct. 28. The appointment of an archbishop of Chicago to nil the vacancy caused by the recent death of Archbishop Patrick A. Feehan will be taken up on the reassembling of the Congregation of the Propaganda in November. The election of Bishop John L. Spalding, of the diocese of Peoria, 111., is probable, objections having been received to the candidature of Bishop Muldoon, administrator of the archdiocese, while Father Riordan, pastor of St. Ellzabteh's, Chicago, is not in good health. A proposition is current among the cardinals composing the congregation In the event of Bishop Spalding not being selected for the Chicago archdiocese, to recommend the transfer there of Archbishop Ireland, of St. Paul, the archdiocese of Chicago being considered more adapted to Archbishop Ireland's activity and talents. LONDON TIMES UNHAPPY. Displeased at Sir Anthony Patrick .MarUonnell'i Appointment. LONDON, Oct. 29. The official announcement of the appointment of Sir Anthony Patrick Mac Denn ell to the post of permanent under secretary for Ireland, in succession to Sir David Harrel, leads the Times this morning to an editorial display of veiled discontent. The paper says the removal of Sir David Harrel on pension, while his energy and powers are unabated, causes surprise, and hints that Sir David wanted to have the crimes act enforced in Ireland earlier than it was, but that he was overruled in higher quarters. The Times explains that the under secretary for Ireland is always in close touch with the Irish constabulary, and that Sir David was formerly an officer of this organization. The Journal points out that Sir Anthony Patrick MacDonnell is an Irishman and a Catholic; that his brother, Mark Anthony MacDonnell, is a Nationalist member of the House of Commons, and reads Sir Anthony a lesson in acting with absolute neutrality in his new position, drawing the line clearly between sentiment and policy. The fact that the Times lauds Sir Anthony's Indian administration only serves to emphasize the paper's uneasiness at his appointment to the Irish post. Irishmen Taklna n Rest. LONDON, Oct. 28. Having gained their end in forcing the discussion of coercion, the Nationalist members of the House of Commons appear to have abandoned any further parliamentary campaign pending the return of John Redmond, the Irish leader in the House, from the United States. A large number of Irish members left London to-day for Ireland. Those remaining did not enter the legislative chamber, but contented themselves with social intercourse in the lobbies and smoking rooms. Ail Irish questions and motions have been suddenly dropped, and the government has been left to do as it pleases without molestation. Oil Better than Coal for Fuel. LONDON, Oct. 29. In a dispatch from Sydney, N. S. W., the correspondent of the Dally Mail says that the British tank steamer Clam, Captain Evans, belonging to the Shell Transport and Trading Company, has arrived there from Batoum, Russia. The Clam uses oil for fuel and she made a record voyage. The use of oil increased her speed by half a knot an hour. Her daily consumption was eighteen tons of oil, as against a former daily consumption of twenty-six tons of coal. The crew of the Clam is at present one-third smaller than it was when she burned coal. Bcrcsford Urges Closer Union. LONDON, Oct. 28. In a speech delivered to-night at West Bromwich, Staffordshire, Vice Admiral Lord Charles Beresford, M. P., expressed the belief that Great Britain was entering upon a century of peace. He advocated a closer union between Great Britain and the United States and declared that the International Mercantile Marine Company was not a monopoly and that it would prove more favorable to England than to America. Poor Year for Champagne. LONDON, Oct. 28. Heidseick & Co., of Rheims, France, report that the 1902 vintage of champagne has been an absolute failure and will rank as one of the blackest vintages in the experience of champagne growers. The vintage of 1903 also promises to be poor. Cable Notes. In accordance with the wish of King Edward, Colonial Secretary Chamberlain is to be conveyed to South Africa on board a naval vessel, and the Admiralty has assigned the new cruiser Good Hope to that duty. Leading Macedonians at Sofia assert that the Insurgents inflicted severe losses on the Turkish troops during the recent fighting in the Kresna Pass by the use of dynamite mines. The fighting in the pass is still going on. A scheme for setting back the northern and eastern portions of the fortifications of Paris at a cost of 110,000,000 has been accepted by the parliamentary credits committee.

Erwin Schaefer has been appointed naval attache of Germany at Washington, succeeding Captain Rebouer-Baschwitz. who has been ordered on duty as first officer of the battleship Kaiser Wilhelm II. First Lieutenant Von Bredow has been appointed German military attache at Washington. Elections held In twenty-four rural constituencies yesterday of members of the lower house of the Austrian Diet resulted in a remarkable victory for the Christian Socialists, who, with one exception, won all the seats contested. In this case a sec ond ballot was necessary to elect the opposition candidate. At a council of the French ministers yesterday it was decided to withhold the salary of Cardinal Perraud, bishop of Autumn, in the department of Sdone and Loire, on account of an address delivered Oct. 12 in the cathedral at Orleans, in which the cardinal severely criticised the government's action towards the congregations. The operation on Dr. Lapponl. the Pope's private physician, who is suffering from appendicitis, was successfully performed by Dr. Mazzoni, who operated on the Pope for a cyst about two years ago. The Pope, who was very anxious, was informed of the result by telephone, and begged Dr. Mazzoni to go to him personally in order that he might hear the precise details. In consequence of the discontinuance of the government subsidy, says a dispatch from Odessa, the Black Sea and Danube steamship Company has decided to sell Its entire Meet of twelve ships. No dividend has been paid since the formation of the company. The correspondent adds that this is the second steamship company plying In the Black sea which hrs been forced to liquidate within eighteen months.

SLOW TIME AT MEMPHIS NEITHER CRESCEUS KOR DAN PATCH ABLE TO LOWER RECORDS. Former Trotted in 2tOS 1-2 and the Latter Paced In 2t01 1-22:12 Trot Taken by A. J. D. MEMPHIS, Tenn., Oct. 28. Cresceus failed in his attempt to-day to lower his former mark of 2:024, trotting the mile In 2:05V4. The weather was too cold for comfort and a strong breeze was blowing directly down the backstretch. Before Cresceus made his appearance It was announced from the judges' stand that recordbreaking time was out of the question, but that the son of Robert McGregor would do his best. Dan Patch, the pacer, also made an effort to reduce the world's mark of 1:5914, but his effort proved no better than that of Cresceus, the mile being paced in 2:01. In the race for 2:13 pacers Gentry won first money from Cubanola, after Rank had been substituted for McCoy. The 2:24 trot was won in straight heats by The Dean from Hugh Wynne. A. J. D., owned by A. J. Wathen, of Louisville, Ky., won the 2:12 trot in straight heats. Invader finished strong in the second heat, but could not quite get up.

DEVELOPING ITS SPEED

I. V. FOOTBALL TEAM 18 PRKI'ARIMG FOR A FAST GAME. Aftermath of Saturday's Defeat Notre Dame in Fine Trim Leslie Asraln in Purdue's Line Other Colleges. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. BLOOMINGTON. Ind.. Oct. 28. The 'varsity practice last evening at Indiana University consisted entirely in running signals. There was no scrimmage work, as several of the mer are bruised and sore as a result of the hard game with Notre Dame. Knight, full back, Shackleton, right end, and Hillman, left tackle, were not out, all having injuries which may keep them out of the game with Illinois next Saturday. It was Shackleton's inexperience at defensive quarter which made possible the two long runs of Salmon, which won the game. Each time he was drawn under a fake interference while Salmon took the ball through another part of the line without opposition. The magnificent work of the line last Saturday wils a pleasant surprise. The Notre Dame line had been touted as being very fast, yet the Indiana forwards until near the end of the game always showed themselves superior, and it was the slow work of the Indiana back field which prevented the scoring of at least one more touchdown. The men will be worked for speed all this week in order to meet as well as possible the fast work of the strong Illfhois team. The men now believe they can defeat Purdue on Nov. 16, and will make every possible effort from now on to get in condition to make it four straight from the boiler makers. Coach Home will see the Purdue game at Evanston next Friday. Notre Dame in Good Condition. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. SOUTH BEND, Ind.. Oct. 28. With the exception of Shaughnessy all the Notre Dame players are In good condition after the hard struggle with Indiana on Saturday. For the first t'me in years Indiana saw its eleven defeated on the home grounds, and the fast playing of the eleven in the first half is partially explained by the fact that this year's team was determined to uphold th-? past record. Late trains and the long trip did much to handicap Notre Dame, and the 'varsity was in poor trim when it lined up. Captain Salmon says Indiana should have been shut out. John Shirk, of Goshen, a law student at Notre Dame last year, was one of the State University's reception committee, and the 'varsity players say they were never accorded a finer reception than the one given them this year. a LESLIE BACK IX THE LIKE. Pardne Bailds Great Hopes on His Presence and Work. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. LAFAYETTE. Ind., Oct. 28.-Capt. Harry Leslie lined up with the Purdue eleven last night for the first time since he received the injury to his knee in the Illinois game on Oct. 18. His return to the team had the efTect of livening up the play of every man on the eleven and Ccach Best was delighted with the snappy work. Instead of returning Leslie to quarter back, where he played up to the time he was hurt, Best put him at right end, in place of Minch, and he placed White at the other end, in place of Hahn, who is yet suffering from injuries. It is the belief of many that Leslie Is now in his proper position, for at quarter he was not able to get in effective defensive work. He is one of the surest tackles on the team, and White is another who excels in this particular. It is probable that the ends will be cared for by the present holders of the positions when Purdue meets Northwestern next Friday. Practice was secret last night and will continue so for the rest of the week. This was thought necessary from the fact that at the Case game Northwestern College had men here getting a line on the local team's work. Purdue should be In the best possible shape by Friday. With the exception of Miller all the regulars are in the game and are playing stronger and faster than ever. i EARLHAM COLLEGE. Distinguished Visitors Inspect the School Speakers In Chapel.

Clark, a graduate of Earlham, visited the college Sunday and preached in chapel. He is now located In Washington, in the civil-service work. Dean Kelley returned this morning from Indianapolis, where he attended the general conference of the Friends' Society. He reports the best meeting yet held.

Trueblood, of Boston, Mass., President Absolam Rosenberg, of Penn College, and Prof. Robert E. Pretlow, of Wilmington College. High Honor for a Junior. Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

The defeat of the Rofe Polytechnic team by Wabash last Saturday was unexpected. Rose had defeated Franklin and the latter had defeated Wabash, on which line the young men from the technical school felt confident of winning. It is true, however, that the team had not fully recovered from the game with Washington University the Saturday before. Coach Crawford; is putting the men through a hard course of training this week in preparation for the game with Earlham next Saturday on the Rose campus. Fast Game at Sooth Bend.

GERRITT A. ARCHIBALD morning and Wisconsin will battle with Michigan in the afternoon on the same gridiron. The Wisconsin-Michigan game will be the big event of the season. Fifteen hundred Michigan rooters will accompany their team from Ann Arbor and there will be about one thousand Wisconsin students on the ground. Northwestern hopes to induce Purdue to play Friday's game at Evanston, instead of at the West Side Ball Park. Chicago, as scheduled. Northwestern rooters, who saw the Chicago-Purdue game, think they have a "cinch" that Purdue will be easily de feated. Coach Holllster is giving his men light work this week mostly signal practice. An effort will be made to strengthen the team's defense, although the offense Is scarcely stronger, and Holllster has, for his week's work, the building up of almost an entire new system of play. The Northwestern scrubs will play Culver Military Academy on Saturday. Faculty Holds Oat Against Strikers. LANSING, Mich., Oct. 28 A meeting of the striking students of the Michigan Agricultural College was held for the purpose of hearing a report from the faculty on the ultimatum presented yesterday announcing that no more classes would be attended until the students suspended and expelled because of the participation in the sophomore-freshman rush of several weeks ago were reinstated. The faculty, however, had no report to make; standing by their action in suspending the participants in the rush. After a time the students dispersed from the chapel, where the meeting was held, and there was no disturbance. There were no classes to-day. The students think the faculty failed to pick out for punishment the leaders in the rush and are punishing some who were only passive participants. They also declare that the suspension is too severe punishment for the offense. Both sides, the students and the faculty, are standing firm and the strike Is likely to continue for several days.
