4 v CUMMINS YIELDS. TO STANDPATTERS Defers Senatorial Election Till Voters Have Made Choice. HIS ENEMIES JUBILANT Governor Yields Ambition Tempo rarily for Sake of Party Success. Legislature Will Meet Again After Election. DKS MOINES. Ia.. Srpt. 10. -(Special.) Baten by the "revotera" who deadlocked the Legislature, Governor Cummins In a voice thai was "funereal and crepe-clad" asked his frienda this afternoon to cease pressing him as a candidate for the short term for United States Senator, and ac cept the terms which the Standpatters offered. The Proirresslves were forced to submit. , The extra session of the Legis lature therefore adjourned to reconvene November 2t after the general election. It will then elect the person to the Senate receiving the largest vote at the primary In November. The Joint convention met at noon and the rollcatl disclosed the fact that the Standpatters were as firm as ever. Mr. Cummins still lacking a dozen votes of a majority. After the convention dissolved a caucus of the supporters of the Gov ernor was called and the Governor asked to be present. Mr. Cummins read a state ment to the caucus in which he said: Sacrifice to Party Success. '-The deadlock which now exists has become a matter of grave party concern. I have hitherto yielded unhesitatingly to the majority In order that the party wel fare might be promoted. I am now will ing to yield to the minority to secure party peace and harmony. Far above my ambition. I put Kepubltcan success, and Republican success Is now seriously menaced. I want our party to win In the campaign now In -progress and. no matter how unjust the action of the minority seems to be, I cannot allow my own views , and my own interests to stand in the way of complete party victory." The Governor said he had doubted the legality of the election of a Senator by the Legislature at an adjourned session In November, but since many good law yers, who had signed the statement, be lieved otherwise, he would "waive his own opinion to attain good feeling." Supporters Reluctantly Agree. The Governor's counsels were finally ac cepted and the peace agreement indorsed by all but Senators' Allen and Turner' and Representatives Maraton, Van Houten and Weeks. In both houses the Demo crats resisted the passage of the resolu tion. In lieu they offered a resolution for adjournment sine die. They said It was not fair to them to compel them to return to Des Moines in November without com pensation, simply to look on and see the Republicans perform the "harmony act." The resolution, however, was adopted finally In both bouses by practically a strict party vote. Leaders of the Standpatters are feeling jubilant tonight. They say they do not want to be understood to oppose the elec tion of a United States Senator for the short term, but that they wanted the peo ple to declare themselves on the matter of the candidates first. As soon as It was certain the extra session would adjourn without electing a Senator for the short term, the antl Cummlns leaders began looking- around for an available candidate to pit against Mr. Cummins for the primary contest in November. G. N. Haugen, of the Fourth district: Walter I. Smith, of the Ninth, and ex-Governor Jackson, of Des Moines, are being considered.

NEWSPAPERS SING TOLSTOI'S PRAISES Jubilee Numbers Devote Pages to Life and Works of Pre mier Novelist. . OFFICIAL CIRCLES FROWN Schools Forbidden to Hold 3Iemor ial Exercises, and Display of Busts and Pictures Placed Under Ban. ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 10. The newspapers of Russia appear today, aL most without exception, as Tolstoi Jubi lee numbers, and they publish pages de voted to the events of his life, criticisms, of his literary work and anecdotes of his career. Many of the articles naturally are phrased in terms of extravagant adulation, but In general the criticisms are discriminating and Just. " The newspapers pass over tho disputes aroused by the Count's latest writings and his attacks on the government and the liberal movement and unite In appre ciations of the undisputed greatness of his life and the brilliance of his earlier novels, which Introduced Russia to the world. Pride Is expressed In Tolstoi's position abroad, particularly In England and the United States. The Novoe Vremya entitles him the "Shakespeare, of the Nineteenth Cen tury," and calls his novel "War and Peace." the Russian Diad, which created a standard of Russian patriotism. The fame of this -novel, tfie paper says, never can be destroyed by the author's later attacks on Nationalism. As regards Tolstoi's later moral and philosophical writings, the tone is either lukewarm or condemnatory. The Count considers his earlier romances Insignifi cant when compared to bis latter philosophy. No special celebration of the anniver sary Is being held In St. Petersburg to day. The school authorities refuse to permit memorial exercises In the city Institutions, and all attempts to decorate houses or exhibit portraits and busts of Tolstoi have been frowned upon.

QUAKE LOSS VERY LIGHT Damage Done by Shake in Eureka Is Greatly Exaggerated. , SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 10.
