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.

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.
Advices received here today from
Yasnaya Pollana report marked improve
ment In the Count's health.

QUAKE LOSS VERY LIGHT
Damage Done by Shake in Eureka Is
Greatly Exaggerated.
, SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 10. On Au
gust 18, a story was sent under date of
Eureka, Cal., telling: of an earthquake
at that place on that date. A careful
Investigation of the statements as to
the damage done by the shock has de
termined .that the extent of the loss
was exaggerated. Instead of being;
$2000, the damage probably did not ex
ceed $200 or 300.
The dispatch came to the Associated
Press from a source which was believed
to be entirely reliable, and there was
no reason to doubt the details as given
therein.
