The fact that the follow in which the

All preparations are being made for

HUFF OYE KOMUR A
Latter's Appointment as Ambas
sador Considered a Dip
lomatic Snub.
Journal Special Service.
London, Ma 24.-The appointment
of Baron Komura to succeed Viscount
Hayashi as Japanese ambassador to
England is of interest to the United
States because of the sentiment which
is gaining strength among British dip
lomatists that the selection of Komura
is a diplomatic snub on the part of
Japan toward England and a play to
curry favor in America.
T$e fact that Kato, minister of for
eign affairs, declined to accept the am
bassadorship to England is not
retions,
garded as having special significance,
but there is considerable dissatisfaction
here over the action of the Tokio gov
ernment in giving publication to the in
cident of this contingency combined
with the fact that the German ambas
sador to Tokio recently was given a
state reception and that Komura is a
of an American university and
lias been largely affiliated with Amer
ican interests, is taken, ,to indicate that
Japan is permitting commercial rivalry
between Germany, the United States
and England to figure in her selection
of a diplomatic delegate to the latter
country.
Japan has been trying to float a
large loan in England and has been
much displeased because London bank
ers have not shown enthusiasm to enthat
ter into negotiations. I is believed

man of the committee on territories,
had a conference with the president
late yesterday afternoon regarding the
status of the legislation providing for
the admission of Oklahoma, Indian Ter
ritory, Arizona and New Mexico. I
is understood that the president is
ready to approve a bill providing for
the immediate admission of Oklahoma
and Indian Territory and leaving Ari
zona and New Mexico to determine for
themselves at a general election,
whether they wa nt to come into the
union joined together as one state.
Senator Beveridge, it is said, will ac
cept this view of the case and should
he do so, the statehood fight will soon
be over.
All parties to the rate bill question
seem to have agreed that the number
of interstate commerce commissioners
ought to be increased from five, the
present number, to either seven or nine,
and the salaries increased from $7,500
a year, which is npw paid, to either}
$10,000 or '$12,000. "The president. as.
discussed this phase qf',th^ case with

them that lie favors nine members and
$12,000 a year, but woulqy consent to
seven and $10,000. The1
larger author-
ity which the commission will have un
der the new rate law. and the greatly
increased work, make it imperative that
this enlargement be made. The house
bill did provide for seven members and
$10,000, but the senate struck this pro
vision out, inserting nothing in its
place.
The president is understood to attach
no importance to the controversy that
has been going on regarding the inconvened
clusion or exclusion of the words "in
its judgment" from the bill, or to
any'of the other close legal points that
have been raised. believes that
the courts wi lconstrue the law, not
in the narrow meaning of a single word
or phrase, but in the light of its mean
ing, aB expressed thruout its entire
length. Should this be done, he thinks
that fine legal points now being made
will be lost sight of. The president
says the "bill as amended by the senate
is a much stronger measure than the
original house hill, and he favors it.
His information is that the conferees
will agree quickly.
Senator Tillman will return to the
city oft Saturday and the active work
of conference will begin not later than
the Monday following. Leading men
of the two houses intoitm the president

PURE POO BBILL "'DOPED?'
on the The Measure May Be Laid
Shelf Indefinitely.
Journal Special Servipe.
Chicago, May 24.A Washington
special to the Chicago Tribune says:
Has the pure food bill been "doped"
in the house of representatives? I
looks like it.
This is one of the cases in which the
scnalo promptly responded to the dewas
mands of the people. The house,
however, shuffled out of the consid
eration of the pure ^ood bills oh its
merits. The ti me is now so short be
fore adjournment that if this measure is
taken up at all it will have to be acted
upon hastily. Things which should
not be in the bill will be sure to creep
in. Either the conference will fail
to agree at all or it will agree to some
basis of compromise which will not be
in the interest of the aeople who are
not represented by the looby.
There is a majority in the house
in favor of a reasonable pure food "bill.
This fact has been demonstrated time
and again. There is a large number of the
republican members, however, including
some prominent men, who ought to be
too big for that sort of thing, who are
determined to dodge a vote at this time.
In spite of the occasional efforts of
Colonel Hepburn, a coffer clam has been
built around the pure food bill and the
tide of legislation- has flowed around
ana beyond it without mucn re
gard for the fact that this
measure is tsill the proud possessor
of the privileged position on the bouse
calendar.
Tt ne surprise no one. therefore, if,
after all the parade made about it' in
the house and the fact it was made a
"continuing special order" unani
mous consent, the rnlre food bill should
be laid on the shelf until nxt Decem
ber. .And then the cry will be raised
that it is a short Session and there is
not time to pass such an important
piece of legislation before the -final

BITTERNESS IS~ AVOIDED
A Satisfactory Compromise Reached On

Des Moines, May 24.The famous
controversy and debate over the pro
posed Presbyterian book of forms ended
in the general assembly late yesterday
afternoon in a compromise, in whieh all
the words that might indicate that the
book is authorized were stricken from
the resolutions, and the text and title
page of the book itself, and in which
the resolution of the opposition was
also incorporated, declaring specifically
the assembly made no recommenda
tions with reference to it
With these limitations the report of
Dr. Henry van Dyke's committee was
adopted and all bitterness between the*
factions avoided.
N Authorization Given.
The book of forms will continue to be
published, but nowhere on its pages will
be found anything to indicate that it
bears any authority from the Presby
terian general assembly. I will be
published merely "for the purpose con
templated by the general assembly of
1S0 5" and '"for voluntary use." A
effort was made by the opposition to
have the names of the committee who
have prepared it stricken from the
book, but this was defeated.
its action today the assembly vir
tuallv rescinded the action of three pre
ceding assemblies of 1903, 1904 and
1&05, in which progressive steps were
taken for an authorized book of fonus.
But compromise avoided the bitter
ness that would have come with the
fight to a finish, and good nature now
r.eigns between opposing sides. Th
compromise was agreed upon today af

THE RESULT IN
SOUTH DAKOTA
When the writer made a short trip
into South Dakota in March, he found
and reported
8
0 many insurgents, to
The Journal that some of the lead
ing stalwart papers charged that he
had distinct leanings toward the anti
machine side. Everywhere he found
the insurgents active and ready for
battle. Th "organization" giant
had hardly aroused himself from his
sleep of the winter, and to every
alarm that was sounded almost invari
ably returned the reply, "The machine
cannot be beaten."
This overconfidence of the leaders
contributed more than any other one
thing to their undoing. The sentiment
that "the machine can do no wrong,
the machine cannot be beaten," led to
the reiection of the primary petition
and the parting of the ways with Sen
ator Gamble. The machine and thou
sands of its followers believed that it
was so firmly entrenched that it could
not be dislodged.
Then, of course, there were local is
sues which redounded to the advantage
of the insurgents. I Minnehaha coun
ty the Argus-Leader says the stone is
sue made the triumph of the insurgents
possible. Governor Elrod wanted
stone from Indiana, his old home state,
for the new capitol, while the men or
Minnehaha, remembering their famous
quarries of jasper, contended that it
was next to a crime to send out of the
state for building material of that char
acter.
In March, young Mr TJstrud of
Sioux Falls told The Journal repre
sentative he would caTry his county in
May. has made his Word good. A
about the same time B. Houston told
The Journal man that Minnehaha
was then not only lost to the machine,
but that Senator Kittredge was serving
his first and last term at Washington.
Whether Houston can be placed along
side of Mr. TJstrud as a prophet re
mains to be seen.
Leaders of the stalwart faction have
never liked Senator Gamble, and have
always wanted his place for some one
nearer the political throne. When he
was a candidate for the senate six
years ag, he was so strong that it was
not deemed politic to make a fight
upon him before or at the state conven
tion, and he received his first party in
dorsement for a toga.
Later on, prior to and after the con
vening of the legislature which was to
elect a senator, the machine threw off
the mask and attempted to unhorse
him. But it was then too late.
Had the machine pursued the same
tactics this year as then, there is a
good chance that it might not have
broken with ther senator, and that it
would not now be defeated. Bu tit
was arrogant and overconfident, and
it wanted Mr. Gamble out of the way
of Mr. Kittredge, so that the latter
could count with more certainty upon
a longcareer in the United States sen
ate. With the old lineup again, Gam
ble for the senate and Martin and
Burke for the house of representatives,
Mr. Crawford would probably have
fought another fruitless engagement.
A it has turned out Charles Bucll
of the Black Hills threw away a seat in
the national house of representatives.
announced himself as an insurgent
crndidate from Pennington county in
the Hills and laid the wires for a vig
oious campaign. Pressure of some
kind, however, was brought to bear
upon him and he withdrew in a few
weeks in a formal announcement. Pen
nington county was the only county in
the Hills to go for the insurgents and
had Buell "played ball" with that
wing of the party he would now-be
looked upon as the Black Hills candi
date for congress, and would be a cer
ta in winner a.t Sioux Falls.
If Mr. Buell was really ambitious"!or
a congressional career his frame of
,mind at this juncture cannot be enthose
able.
'Assuming that the insurgents make
a winning fight in the primaries and
conventions next September, when
county officers and members of the
legislature are nominated, it is safe to
say that Mr. Gamble will be the almost
unanimous choice next winter for sen
ator, and that much reform legislation
will be enacted.
Most of the insurgents are bent
upon a primary election bill, holding as
they do that their strength is with the
average voting men, and all the Btum
bling blocks of this and kindred nature
possible will be placed in the way of
the present organization leaders.
A anti-pass law will no doubt be one
of the fruits of a change in administra
tion. Then eventually there will be a
shaking up in the personnel of boards
and the management of the state insti
tutions. With anything like an equal
division of the factions at Pierre next
winter there ought to be a decidedly
interesting session. Th new machine
will be on trial.
If credit comes out of the insurgent
movement and its present success, it
can be largely attributed to the energy
and persuasiveness of Coe I Crawford,
candidate for governor
Two years ago Mr Crawford stood
almost alone in his fighir against .1
united organisation. failed, but he
made a distinct impression upon tho
voters and he fairly shone in compari
son with some others when he appeared
on the platform at the state conven
tion at Sioux Falls and thanked his
fliends for th% support they had given
him, and pledged his fealty to the con
vention nominees. Had he failed again
this year he-expected to make a third
attempt two years hence.
Mr. Hall of Brookingsrwho will be
one of he congressional nominees,
stood shoulder to shoulder with Mr
Crawford in the proconvention cam
paign. Tho both were savagely attacked
by the machine press and their records
searched for every semblance of a flaw,
no permanent "headway was made
against them.
Great regret is felt, not onl? in South
Dakota, but in other states, that Con
gressmen Martin and Burke are to be
retired, and that Judge Campbell of
Aberdeen will not represent his state at
Washington. All three are equipped to
cast luster upon their adopted state.
But the fortunes of politics, like those
of war, must accepted and the best
of the situation. I is difficult
to see how an insurgent delegation in
the lower house of congress will be able
to improve upon the record of Messrs.
Martin and Burke, or have more influ
ential standing than they.
