ArrntiKemrnt Ciintrinnlitle it Switch III the Tun PositlniiN With I the llleetlon Tltnt Comes to ' lonn In IlKll. WASHINGTON. July 27. (Special Tele gram.) "Should Governor Shaw appoint Editor Perkins of Sioux City to tho Gear senatorial vacancy, as now seems entirely probable, It will be tho result of an agree ment thnt will prove far-reaching nnd one In which Senator Allison, J. XV. BIytho. Judge Hubbard of Cedar llaplds and Gov ernor Shaw aro mutually Interested," said nn Iowa officeholder today. "This agreement being none other than running Editor Per kins for the governorship In 1901, nnd Gov ernor Shaw for the senate, the understand ing being thnt Perkins shall mnko way for Shaw. To bring about this result, which Is but continuance of the old political Iowa, regime In a new dress, required treatment as delicate ns nn operation for appendici tis. To surmount apparent obstacles and to put the party upon a stronger footing than over was the ambition of the 'big four.' and though It temporarily beclouds the ambi tions of other senatorial and gubernatorial candidates, there Is not t single Iowa poli tician In Washington but admits that Is solves a number of perplexing questions and Is good politics nil nround. "It has been known for koine time that Editor Perkins had his eye on the govern orship, but he could see no way to gratify his ambition ns long ns Senator Gear or Al lison remained In active life. Now Gear has been called to his fathers, nnd new condi tions present themselves which Shnw nnd Perkins have not been slow to tako ad vantage of. While It Is not expected thnt either Shaw or Perkins will have no opposi tion, the fact remains thnt both are strong In sections of the stato from which they come, nnd they will have the support nt men who have made governors nnd senators for lo, these many years." IIIiIn mi (lie WlnlielniRo Seliool. Patrick Handley of Anndnrko, Okla., who Is lowest among those bidding on the Win nebago school building, will probably re cctvo tho contract, having put In n bid of $30,750 for the complete plant, Including the water plant. This bid provides for tho con crete foundation, which tho department hns asked Mr. Handley to demonstrate before anything definite Is done. Even though con crete Is not used, Handley Is still the low est bidder using stone, his bid being $32,000. Upon the water plant I). Rnhm of Omaha is the lowest among the bidders scheduling nnd he will undoubtedly receive the con tract for $2,390, which amount must be de ducted from Hnndley's bid. Tho Indian bureau estimated tho build ing nnd plant would cost $3S,000, but now the officials, with these bids before them, be lleve that the dormatory can be built nnd completely equipped for $35,000, nllowlng $5,000 of the $10,000 specifically appropriated to b spent In bettering the scrvlco on the Omaha ngency. According to nn ofllclal connected with the Indian ofllco industrial teachers aro needed at several reservation nnd non-rescrvatlon schools throughout the country and thero will be quite a demand made upon the Civil Service commission for an eligible register early in tho fall.

The re port states that but for tho heroic work of the men tho vessel would have been lost. On March 1 the union Jack wns hoisted on Vlctorlaland and on March 2 tho Southern Cross, commanded by Captain Jnnsen, sailed for New Zealand, leaving Borchgro vlnck and a patty of ten at tho settlement of Capo Adare, 2,500 miles south of Aus tralia. Tho party remained In tho vicinity of Adaro for some months, experiencing great hardships nnd suffering Intensely from the extreme cold. On July 20 an attempt wns made to rea. h the cn.iK land to tho west of Robertson's bay, where tho camp was pitched, with tho thermometer registering 40 degrees below zero. An Island was discovered nnd named Diiko of York Island. On this Journey the lowe.it tempcraturo registered wns experienced, namely, 52 degrees below zero. Subsequently, expeditions from Robert son'o bay wero dispatched during August and September, with tho result that valua ble collections wero made and observations attended to whenever opportunity nffnrdod. Tho land townrd the southwest of Duke of York Island in the admiralty rargo was visited and named Gelklo Island, owing to Its geological interest. Duko of York Island Itself was found to be cut through from cast to west by broad, deep quartz reefs. "It may hero suffice to say," remarked Mr. Borchgrcvlnck, "unit minerals of great valuo llo In this vicinity and undoubtedly In tlmo to come science will rccelvo that support (urn commerce which the progress of civil ization Justifies nnd that tho future Antarc tic oxploratlonH will never be In want of financial support. "Ofil'ially. I took possession of Duke of York Island for Sir George Newuts. "Gelklo Island, which was vUlted on sov ornl occasions. Is nho rich In minerals."

Tho recent purchase of Pennsylvania soft coal for ship ment to Cronstadl on Russian account was followed today by tho announcement that the British steamship Hotasu has beon cbnrtcred to loud 1,000 tons of the samo cargo for Outujewsky, Russia. It Is thought probable that tho coal Is Intended for rail road consumption. Russia Is Juit now suf fering from a coal famine, tho importations from England and Germany, added to tho rather meager supply from Its own mines, being Insufficient for tho demands of Its rapidly growing Industries. Moro shlpmonts to tho czar's eountry are looked for. Tho United Slates government Is In the market for vessels to carry coal tu tho Philippines, for which $S per ton Is now paid as frolght. A board of Inspection hus Just finished an examination of the ship John A. Briggs, which recently arrived 'at your Pcruna tin excellent medicine to htiild tip iiiul restore the nervous system. My work is out doors nnd traveling to it great extent, and during inclement wenther 1 cspe eially value it as a preventive jugalust colds, and as a catarrhal treatment it is unexcelled. It is with much pleasuro 1 give Pcruna my heartv endorsement." Yours" truly, Ida llarncd. Every one who Is In the least degree sub ject to nervousness, sleeplessness, prostra this port from Puget bound, with a view of purchasing It for n coal hulk, to be stationed at Manila. The result of tho ex amination was not mado public, but It is likely that the vessel will be purchased by tbo government. Tho ship St. Mark was recently bought for this purpose.
