to the wisdom of a protective policy, a
hasty comparison between the pres-
ent and the past would blot out such
doubt. He then speaks with satisfac-
tion of the tariff planks of the last two
national platforms.
Continuing he says:
"For three years I have advocated
giving control of trusts to congress. In
my Judgment proper supervision can
never be had until congress has power
to treat them. I am glad to see from
speeches made by our fearless and up-
right chief executive that he is advo-
cating federal control over these cor-
porations, and while in some quarters
they may sneer at it, I have not seen
any proposition yet, except this, that
seems at all likely to bring relief. No
proposition has ever been made by the
democrary excepting to put everything
on the free list and to give the country
free trade. In other words, they pro-
pose to kill the child dead in order to
cure it.
NOT READY TO STRIKE.
"Our democratic friends treat this as
moving into free trade grounds. It is
nothing of the sort. It is a bold dec-
laration that if modifications of the
tariff are required to prevent monopoly
from sheltering itself under the wings

E)UBtJQUE, IOWA, Sept., 17—Speak-
er Henderson has addressed the follow-
ing letter to C. E. Albrook, of Eldora,
Iowa, chairman of the notification com-
mittee:
"My dear sir: I have never answered
the kind notice communicated by you
and your associates advising me of my
nomination for the eleventh time by ac-
clamation as republican candidate fo
crongress for the third congressional
district of Iowa. Reported conditions
in the public mind in my district upon
public policies induced me to take this
delay. Since my return to the district
I have made a careful study of the sen-
timent in the district and state, and I
believe that there is no little sentiment
nnd a growing sentiment among repub-
licans that I do not truly represent
their views on the tariff question. Be-
lieving this condition to exist, and
knowing that I do not agree with ma-
ny of my people, that trusts, to which
I am and have been opposed, can be
cured or the people benefitted by free
trade in whole or in part, I must de-
cline to accept the nomination so gener-
ously and enthusiastically made. I
have devoted twenty of the best years
of my life to the interests of my people
and my country and have fought for
what I thought to be best for the farm-
er, the laborer and the business Inter-
ests of this district and state| I am
grateful for the devotion that has ever
been accorded me, and to the hour of
my death will hold with a grateful
heart the memory of that devotion. I
will later on give in some detail my
views and conviction on our conditions
and on public questions and state my
reasons why the republican party and
policies should continue in the confi-
dence of the voters of the United States
and why the doctrines of democrary
should find no lodgement in the faith
and teachings of the republican party,
"very truly yours,
"D. N. HENDERSON."
Speaker Henderson announced his
withdrawal after a conference of sev-
eral hours duration with Chairman
Glasser, of the congressional commit-
tee, and firends this afternoon. Speak-
er Henderson has been contemplating
this action for two weeks but had in-
timated nothing of it to his friends un-
til yesterday. At to-day's conference
his friends Implored him not to take
the action, but to no avail. He said he
had made up his mind, and n aorgu-
ment could cause him to change his
decision. When asked for his reason
for his withdrawal, Speaker Hender-
son said:
MAKES A STATEMENT.
"My letter to Chairman Allbroek Is
the whole thing in a nut shell. You
can not kill the trusts by applying free
trade without killing our own influs-
tries.
"The foreign trusts are fighting the
American trusts and I do not believe
that, for the purpose of controlling
American trusts, we should make a
market for foreign trusts, thereby crush
ing out the industries of this country.
After my Conference last Saturday at
Waterloo, hearing the views of the
chairman of my district, I concluded
that my views on the tariff questlen
were at variance with those of many of
my party, and I did not desire to ap-
pear In a false position."
ISSUES AN ADDRESS.
Speaker Henderson gave out an ad-
dress last evening which states his
views on the tariff and trust questions
and says that because these views, in
his opinion, are not in accord with the
state platform and with the opinions of
prominent members of his party, he
declines to accept the nomination. The
address in 'to the republican voters of
the Third Iowa district," He says, be-
ing a republican, he is a protectionist,
and If he ever entertained a doubt as

and is using its advantages, growth
and prosperity to plunder the Ameri-
can people, I for one am ready to strike
it by whatever lever means we may be
able to adopt, provided that in so doing
we do not hurt innocent Interests,
am willing to strike down and de-
stroy American combinations and let
foreign combinations come in and do
the work, but I would like to contro
olur own corporations, so that there
could be fair play among the American
people. I have been more amused than
hurt at the suggestions that I have
been against any changes In the tariff.
While I have been against a general
revision, recognising the wisdom of
President Roosevelt in his first message
to congress, In which he advised
against it, I have never been opposed
to making needed changes, and I am
not nf w. T must say, and emphatical-
ly. that I do not believe a single ached
ule of the Dingley tariff law can be so
amended as to relieve the people from
the oppression of trusts or combina-
tions of capital, however named, and
that such action may involve the re
tardlng of our expanding commerce and
the Retting and holding of foreign mar
kets. Indeed, I believe such plan to be
fraught with grave, dangers to the peo
pie.
WORKED FOR CUBA.
"I am a firm believer in reciprocity,
worked with untiring zeal to secure re
ciprocal arrangements between Cubr
and this country, and I was successful
in passing it through the house. The
senate did not act on the bill because
consideration of it would have permit
ted the opening of the whole question
of tariff revision. The house has noth-
ing to say about the ratification of
treaties, but the recoprocal resolutions
upon which it legislated in respect to
Cuba were not in the nature of trea-
ties, but they were reciprocal agree-
•men twhich, I think, our country would
have the best of the bargain, although
doubtless they would have been of
great advantage to Cuba,
NOWS HIS POSITION.
"While I cannot speak for the pros-
pects of favorable action upon bills
sent to the senate, I stm hope and be-
lieve that by a treaty the same result
may be accomplished, and I have no
doubt that President Roosevelt Is now-
working on the question of a treaty
with Cuba to give that struggling re
public heeded help, a help, too, in which
while they will be gainers, we not be
losers. And now, let me say, and there
be no misunderstanding as to my po
sition.
AGAINST THE TRUSTS.

tect the hand or labor, the wheels of

I am against wicked corporations that
would trample on the rights of the peo
pie to fair play and to the fruits of hon-

legislation that would throw my coun-
try into panic and bring back the hor-
rors bequeathed to us by the last dem-
ocratic administration."
SENSATION AT CAPITAL.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept., 17.—The
dispatch announcing Speaker Hender-
son's declination for the congressional
nomination caused a sensation
Washington. Very few public men are
in Washington at this time, but all
here expressed the regret that the spea
ker had determined on the course an-
nounced In the Dubuqu? dispatch.
The causes leading up to his decision
were perhaps as much a matter of com-
ment as the refusal tc stand for re
election.
Public men acknowledge that there is
a demand In sections of the west and
northwest for a revision of the tariff
along certain lines, notably In the cas
eg of articles whose manufacture Is
controlled by trusts. ^Che opinion Is
that Mr| Hend^r^on's decision will
makethls issue more a ute and it is
suggested that the president Is confer
ring at this time with leading senators
from the east and west, presumably on
the very question which has forced Gen
eral Henderson out of line with his
party In Towa. The speaker always has
been a straight out republican on tar-
iff matters and at the last session of
congress the general understanding was
that he opposed suggestions advanced
for tariff revision along certain lines,
on articles controlled by the trusts.
IOWA TARIFF PLANK.
General Henderson already has en-
tered Into the coming campaign and it
is stated that both Governor Cumins
and Senator Dolliver, both of whom
are said to be In favor of tariff revis-
ion, were to have stumped the district
for him. The Iowa state republican
convention held In the latter part of
July took strong grounds on the ques-
tion of the reduction of tariff on goods
whose production In this country is
controlled by the trusts making the fol-
lowing declaration on that subject:
We favor any modification of the
tariff schedules that may be required
to prevent their affording shelter to
monopoly."
There was a great deal of opposition
to this statement but it finally was ad-
opted by the convention. It Is the op-
inion here that this plank is the one
which has raised the issue in Mr. Hen-
derson's case and Induced him to with-
draw.
CANDIDATES FOR SPEAKER.
Various names are suggested by Iowa
republicans here as candidates for the
speaker's seat, among them being Mr.
Courtwrlght, who formerly has been
the race for the nomination.
Secretary Wilson of the agricultural
department, who comes from Iowa,
was thunderstruck when he heard of
General Henderson's decision, remark-
ing that it came as rain from a clear
sky. He expressed great regret that
the speaker has determined as announc
ed, hut further than that he declined
to make any statement for publica-
tion.
SHAW'S INTERVIEW.
To Secretary Shaw of the treasury
department, whose residence also Is In
Iowa, the news was with equal surprise
and regret. The secretary In response
to a request for an interview on the
subject said:
I have not been in Iowa since Feb-
ruary and hence know little of any
change In political sentiment In that
state. The tariff revision plank is
sufficiently general to occasion no dis
pute, and each put such construction
upon the shelter, for monopoly as he
pleased. The language does not say
that the tariff does offer shelter, but
demands any modification that may be
required to prevent their affording shel
ter. T think that most speakers took
the old time republican view, that the
tariff Is not responsible for trusts. II
sentiment Is changed I am not advised
"I regret General Henderson's decis
ion more than I can express and I still
hope that the report is unfounded or
f hat he may be Induced to recall his
declaration. He was sure of election."
SOME GOSSIP.
In view of General Henderson's deter
mination, some gossip was indulged in
as to his successor as speaker In the
event of republican success at the polls
in November. Representative Cannon
of Illinois no doubt will be a candi-
date for the position, with a strong
competitor in Representative Sherman
of New York, Messrs. Crove of Ohio,
and Littlefield of Maine is also men-
tioned.
HE REFUSES TO RECONSIDER.
DES MOINES, IA.. Sept.. 17.—Speaker
Henderson today refused to reconsider
his withdrawal from the congressional
race. This morning the following tele-
graphic reply was received in response
to a request to reconsider his action:
Dubuque, Iowa, Messrs Lafe Young
and S. W. Rathbone, DesMoines. Ia..
■ telegram sincerely appreciated
but cannot reconsider, for, after an age
spent in fighting for my country, state
ind district I cannot acquiesce in ad-
ministering free trade poison to cur<
the trust evil which 1 abhor.
Signed: "D. B. HENDERSON."
WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 17.—Sec
retary Shaw said today in commenting
further upon Speaker Henderson's de-
lination of a renomlnatlon that while
he refrained either from criticizing or
justifying the speaker's course, he con-
sidered It of very great importance and
due to Speaker Henderson that this p<
sition be not misunderstood.
of the continent, and forming the most
direct entrance to the territory of the
late Boer republics, $6,020,000. The
next section In Importance Is Egypt, to
which the exports from the United
Kingdom are 531.23S.OOO; next, British
West Africa, $13,222,000.
An analysis of this market for over
$7,150,000.000 worth of British products
shows that the chief exports to Cape
Colony consist of cotton piece goods,
iron (wrought and unwrought). coal,
provisions of all sorts, and manufac-
tured articles, especially apparel and
haberdashery. To Natal the exports
are similar to those of Cape Colony,
with the exception of coal, of which a
considerable quantity is produced In
Natal itself. To Portuguese Africa, the
shipments Included cottons, machinery
and other supplies, chiefly for the
Transvaal and Orange Rivr ecolonies.
To British West Africa, cotton goods,
coal and Iron are the most Important
articles exported. To Egypt the ex-
portatlons Included cotton goods to the
alue of $1,086,030: coal. $8,325,000; Iron
(wrought and unwrought), $1,630,000,
and machinery. Including steam en-
gines, $1,935,000.
The trade of Transvaal seems likely
to prove an Important factor, especial-
ly in vief of the present and prospec-
tive enlargement of the gold mining
operations. For the five months ending
with May they amounted to $16,925,000.
agailnst $4,185,000 In the corresponding
five months of last year. Among the
more Important articles exported from
the United Kingdom to the Transvaal
in the five monthB ending with May are
metals and manufactures, including ag-
ricultures, including agricultural im-
plements, $3,956,000; apparel, haberdash
ery, etc., $2,623,000; provisions, inclu-
sive of corn and dairy products, $2,-
365,000; corn and grain, Including flour,
meal and rice, $944,000; leather and man
ufactures. Including saddlery, boots
and shoes, $812,000; dairy products, $720,
000; drugs and chemicals, $642,000; bev-
erages, Including ale, spirits,«wlnes and
mineral waters, $618,000; wood and man
ufactures. $574,000. To the Orange Riv-
er colony the exports are much less, the
figures for the first quarter of 1902 be
ing $1,771,000, against $435,000 in the cor-
responding quarter of the preceding
year.
Cotton piece goods alone form a very
Important feature of British exports to
Africa. In 1897 they amounted to $23,-
762.000, and In 1901. to $30, 381,000.

police say Mrs. Phillips knew who Fish
was but that neither Mrs. Casey nor
Sharkey, who subsequently joined the
party were aware of his identity. Shar
key, who knew the'women, joined the
party at their invitation. The police
say Fish did most of the buying. Fish
then discovered that his money was
exhausted and he announced that he
would have to draw a check. Sharkey.
Ignorant of Fish's Identity, questioned
his ability to make his check good, and
angry words ensued. Then, according
to the police, some one slapped Fish's
face. One of the women, clinging to
Fish's arm, urged him toward the door
out to the sidewalk. Sharkey followed
and when the men encountered each
other there was a scufTle and Fish fell,
or was knocked down, his head striking
a flagstone. Sharkey and the women
disappeared. Fish's Identity was not
learned until the hospital was reach-
ed. Mrs. Casey, Mrs. Phillips and
Sharkey were arraigned to-day In po-
lice court and were held for the coro-
jury. Mrs. Casey denied all
knowledge of the case. Mrs. Phillips
hen questioned about the case said:

TRADE IS FLOVTTNG TO SOITTH-
ERN AFRICA.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept., 16.—
South Africa is on the eve of such a
business boom as has seldom been wit-
nessed In any country on the earth.
This is the opinion of officials In
Washington who keep In touch with
business condtlons In foreign countries,
and they are anxious that American
manufacturers and exporters should
have a fair share of the business. With
that end in view, the bureau of for-
eign commerce in the state department
and the bureau o* statistics in the
treasury department are gathering all
the information possible about condi-
tions and prospects In that part of the
world.
Some wide-awake American busin-
ess men are already getting Into the
field, and are arranging to have their
wares Introduced into South Africa,
generally on a commission basis. There
is a growing demand there for almost
everything that is produced in the
United States, and It is believed that
the extension of British rule over the
whole country will be a distinct ad-
vantage to American traders, whatever
may have been their sympathies dur-
ing the struggle which the Boers made
for Independence. Some of the Boer
restrictions upon commerce and in-
dustry were exceedingly annoying, and
It will be remembered that they formed
one of the grounds of complaint by the
English against the Boer governments,
while there is no doubt that they re-
tarded the development of the country.
The bureau of statistics has just re-
ceived complete statistics of British
commerce with Africa which are of in-
terest as throwing light on the present
volume of trade with that continent,
and as showing that the United States
has, as yet succeeded In getting only a
relatively small proportion of It. Dur-
I ing the fiscal ypar ended June 30, 1903,
the total value of exports from the
United States to Africa was $33,000,000.
During .the year ended December 31,
| 1901, the* total value of British exports
| to Africa footed up $157,000,000, or prat-
I elcally five times as much as the ex-
ports from the United States.
I While the growth of exports from the
United Kingdom to Africa hns not been
I «o rapid as In the case of the United
States. It hns been steady and persis-
tent. In 1897 the total exports from the
United Kingdom to Africa amounted
to $120,000,000: In 1900, $134,000,000, an l I ThI
in 1901, $157,000.000. Of this exportation noo
of more thnn $150,000,000 worth of mer- , Mrt
chandlse to Africa, nearly two-tlhrds Mr«
goes to the southern port of the contl- I The
nent; the figures being, to Cape Colo-! vat

Judge Walter N. Dixon of Pueblo a
Dr. John Grass were presented for
temporary chairmanship. When
seconding speeches had bern heard the
sentiment seemed so strongly In fav
of Dixon that Dr. Grass's name
withdrawn and the selection of Dixon
was made by acclamation. Judge Dixon
pronounced an eloquent eulogy upon
the life of the last President McKlnley
and setrongly endorsed the admlnlstra
tlon of President Roosevelt. His crit
iclsm of the present democratic stat
administration was very bitter. A re
solution from the Colorado Woman

which asked thai the custom of nomin

public schools be changed and that a
woman be named for state auditor. An
adjournment was taken until 3 o'clock.

lthout them. The Gates contingent
opposed the move on the theory that
Stlllwell desired to merge the Guardian

Mexico & Orient railway. It Is believ-
ed that Stlllwell will be reinstated as

WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept., 15.—The
State department has received a cable
gram from Minister Hart at Bogota
olombia, which says that the revolu-
tionary general, Carreazo, who has been
.crating with a strong force on the
reat Plains east of Bogota, has sur
rendered. This Is regarded as of the
utmost Importance to the government
authorities, who consider that It assures
pacification of the whole eastern

DEMOCRATS PRAISE ROOSEVELT.
BOSTON. MASS., Sept., 17.—Con-
gressman Henry F. Naphen, permanent
c hairman, In addressing the democrat-
ic state convention to-day. said: "The
recent visit of the President to Nev
England was signalized by a declara-
some particulars to our party than to
his own. His frank recognition of the
evils of monopoly was an avowal of
democratic doctrine and reflected the
belief of a majority of the people.
Those who followed him as he discuss-
ed the question with engaging, If limit-
ed candor, belonged to no class or par-
ty. By yielding to the pressure of pub-
lic opinion he broke with the forces
which control the great republican ma-
chine. Already we hear expressions of
dissent from Influential quarters In •
which the policies of the republican
party are shaped and affixed.
The faction In the Massachusetts
Democrar y supporting the Kansas City
platform and the element opposed to
Hryan and many of his doctrines were
admittedly at odds this morning over
the construction of the platform for
presentation to the convention. So In-
tense was the feeling manifested In the
committee that at one time it appeared
as if a bitter struggle for mastery
would be fought out upon the floor of
the convention.
For nearly ten hours yesterday the
committee on resolutions debated the
question with the result that tbc Knn-
bab City platform adherents,, headed by
Geo. Fred Williams, were defeated 14
to 7. The convention was called to
order to-day just after 11 o'clock ar.ii
It looked then as If a long wrangle was
in prospect. These JUtrtao—. togeth-
er with the candidacy of Chas. S. Ham-
lin for governor, gave the proceedings
an Interest greater than any that had
been taken In similar assemblies of
democrats since the days of the free
silver campaign.
PINDLETON STILL BURNING.
BEAUMONT. TEX.. Sept. 18.—One
acre of Spindle Top Heights in the
great Beaumont oil fields Is a seething
mass of flames and stifling smoke. At
this hour, 2:30 p. m. the fire was nt a
standstill. It is under control so long
as the wind continues from the north-
east, fanning the flames away from
the hill. Thlrty-flve or forty derricks
have been razed to the ground In the
Keith-Ward tract. Across the avenue
the Mammoth 37,500 barrel tank of the
Higgins People's is on lire. The great
Tex.'is Flora gusher Is ablaze, sending
flames efghty feet Into the air.
Wood well Is on fire. What the total
loss will be Is only conjecture
actual destruction of machinery will be
enormous. The Higgins Oil &■ Fuel
Company are possibly the heaviest los
ers. The Keith-Ward people are larg«
sufferers. The burning oil fields is
now under command of B. S. Culllnan,
who has mustered 500 men to his aid.
They have 100 steam boilers at their
service and streams of steam will be
applied today. Fire fighters are now
able to advance to within 150 feet of
the burning structures.
THER MINE BEGINS.
TAMAQUA, PA., Sept.,
AN
ENDORSES ROOSEVELT FOR 1904.
BIRMINGHAM, ALA., Sept. 17.—
When the Republican state convention
reassembled today It was evident that
there would be a fight on that part of
the platform endorsing Roosevelt for
renomlnatlon. This opposition is un-
derstood to have had its origin in the
recent action of the President in re-
moving Wm. Vaughan, retiring Repub-
lican state chairman, from the office of
district attorney for northern Alabama.
The platform and resolutions as report-
ed by the committee, were read, and
when that part of It endorsing Roose-
velt for renomlnatlon In 1904 was reach-
ed, there ware loud cries of "No, no."
The platform reaffirms the Philadelphia
platform, favors child law legislation
relating to work in cotton mills, en-
dorses the wisdom of the Dingley tariff
law and urges a continuance of that
policy. The platform then expresses
confidence In the administration of
Roosevelt and favored his renomlna-
tlon. After the reading of the platform
J. A. W. Smith, of Birmingham, offered
a substitute which omitted all refer-
ence to an endorsement of President
Roosevelt for renomlnatlon. The sub-
stitute was vigorously debated and the
convention was thrown Into a turmoil.
