Believed Fraadnleat. .
DES MOINES, July (.(Special.) Judge
M. A. Robert of Ottumwa haa dissolved
the Injunction Issued In connection with
the controversy over the result of the
primary election In Lucas county.
He holds that there are no statutory
regulation for primary elections In this
state, and therefore that they ar wholly
within tho control of the party machinery
and the party organisation alone may de
termine the right of different parties.
The injunction waa Issued at tha Instance
of H. D. Copeland, who was a candidate
for senator before th primary. It had
been agreed that the candidate receiving
the . most vote In Lucaa county should
name the delegation to the senatorial con
vention. R. A. Hasselqulst, present repre
sentative, received twenty-six more vote
than Copeland. Tha latter accused the
Haselqulst people of gross frauds, voting
of democrat and stuffing ballot boxes. ,It
waa alleged that In on precinct, where
Hasselqulst received a large vote, one ot
the Judges of election had bet a large sum
on Hasselqulst, and therefore permitted
many persons to vote who were not en
titled. Much bitterness waa engendered by
the contest and this was Intensified by
Copeland'a action In going Into court to
restrain the county committee from an
nouncing the result of the ballot- Judge
Roberts ended the legal proceeding by d
clarlng that th courts have no authority
whatever in such cases, that tho primaries
ar entirely within th control of th par
ties, and that whll th law give some
legal recognition to primaries In Iowa, it
provides no regulation and goes no fur
ther than to punish frauds and wrong acts.
There Is a threat that the matter will be
appealed to the supreme court.
Tax Ferrets In Museatin.
Th tax ferret law la working havoc' In
Muscatine county; where a firm of tax

about $85,000, which had been escaping en
tirely, i ne firm 1 continuing Investigation
ani it is expected a large find of hidden
property will be made. The reports from
the county auditor to the state auditor
indicate that tha reeult of th tax ferreting
during ths past year ha been to force

It I understood that a atatement of fact
concerning the fee for ' tho examination
of insurance companies Is to be prepared
by th state executive council and be ub
mltted to the attorney general with tha
suggestion that he find out whether there
Is any way to recover the fee nald the
examiner, or the excess Zees wrung from
Insurance companies by reason of the ex
amination. ' The report to the executive
council as made by the diffr.n
pamea that have been examined during
the past few year shows that they paid
large sums for these examinations. There

ST. PETERSBURG, June 21--(Corre
spondence .of the Associated PresB.) The
Vestnlk .Europy views with deep concern
the unfriendly attitude of the foreign prca
towards Russia. "Even old friends like the
United States have lately displayed In their
press a hostility such as bus hitherto char
acterised England alone," . says this long-
established and dignified review. The writer
continues:
Our policy In China scarcely Justified the
reproaches which the American press Is
neaping upon us. vve sunerea incompara
bly more from the Chinese troubles than
any of the other powers, yet we have taken
iar less tnougnt or compensation and ot
the defense of our interests In the future
than others. Under the coimiulHlon of
events which we did not foresee, or which
we could not prevent, we had to occupy
Manchuria.' Once we had entered a Chi
nese province we could not leave it until
order had been restored and the ODeration
Of our railroads had been ensured.
When thin had been aecomDlished we
oould not make up our minds to place tha
results of our efforts In Jeounrdv ucalri. bo
we kept deferring the evacuation of the
provinces in order to ohtHln from the Chi
nese government some guarantees for the
luture. in tniH iuncai action one can
Scarcely . llnd that treacherous policy of
ronouest which would properly occasion
that dlsHattHfai'tlon and protents of oilier
Interested powers. Booner could we lie con
victed of heedlessness than treachery, for
the acquisition of a railroad In foreign
territory was in Itseir a rluky undertaking.
Three Bureaus Act Alone.
The vacillations, contradictions and un
certainties in our conduct and our declara
tion about the Manchurian queation can
easily , lie traced to causes whk-li are per
fectly explicable to us. hut which do not
exut as far as foreign canlnets are con
cerned. In Manchuria, three separate au
thorlttes are at work, and each has its
own views and seeks in its own way to de
fend the interests of the state.
The ministry of foreign affairs is natural
ly chiefly anxious to avoid misunderstand
ings with foreign powers, and Is therefore
always Inclined to make peaceable derlara
tlons even in cases where their fulllllment
does not depend on the diplomatists alone.
The ministry of war In. for Its part, un
able to withdraw troops from a region that
still needs military protection, and Is there
fore compelled to have recourse to mean
urea against which diplomacy has pro
nounced In Its declarations.
The ministry of finance keeps the great
material Interests connected with the Kast
Chinese railroad mainly in view and la com
pelled therefore to insist on a gradual evac
uation of Manchuria.
Where three Independent authorities are
engaged, one can scarcely expect uniformi
ty and consistency in ine onn-ial declara
tions and actions, and thus many peculiari
ties In our Chinese policy is explained.
The contradictory uttitude of our various
authorities Is taken hy fore luners us
proof of the disloyalty of our government
and as a sign of ambitious plans, which
are directed Immediately or remotely
against me inierrmn oi inner powers.
Ibe vestnlk turopy, however, regards
the Insolent tone of the foreign press
towards Russia as due to something be
yond diplomacy or weakness of foreign
policy, for It continues:
W have to deal here with one of many
symptoms of a deep, fundamental antagon
ism, for which intei national questions serve
only as a convenient pretext. Knrei,,
newspapers, even those which enjoy the
ureal aumoniy, more and more frequently
draw unseemly parallels between Russia
and Turkey, making use of matter which
li is noi tTusiumary ig ireai in our press.
