WASHINGTON, Aug. 30. In tho contest
case of J. L. Calvert against James It.
Wood, coming from the Lawton (Okl.) land
district and Involving entry No. 1, the not
ing secretary of tho Interior has rendered a
decision refusing to order u hearing on the
case. The charges upon which tho contest
was founded were substantially that Woods
entry was made In violation of tho home
stead law by reason ot Its location on the
south line of the town of Lawton and that
tho entry embraces a tract n mile long and
only a quarter of a mllo wldo and was so
taken for speculative purposes and not for
ngrlcutural purposes and that tho entry was
mndt at a tlmo when there were a largo
number of townslte settlers on the land who
occupied It for trade and business pur
poses.
Tho decision holds that the selection and
entry of land ndjncent to tho town of Law
ton was not In violation of tho letter or
spirit of the law, and that the tact that
thero may havo been alleged townsltu
settlers on tho lands nt tho time he made
his entry does not affect Wood' right of
entry, Tho land was not subject to appro
prlatlon for townslte purpose nor was any
person authorized to enter upon It or occupy
It for tho pyrpoyes of trade or business and
no such occupaucy could operate to defeat
his right to enter.
It Is further held In the opinion that
Wood's entry Is not bad on account of tho
form of the tract embraced, that tho special
provisions of the net of May 2, 1800. do not
control In this matter, but that tho general
provisions of the homestead law do. The
secretary saya that under the act of Juno 6,
1900, making provision for tho disposition
ot these lands. It Is directed that they shall
be disposed of under tho general provisions
of Ihe homestead and townslte laws of tho
United States nnd that under this law
Wood's location Is valid.

CHICAGO, Aug. 30. (Special Telegram.)
Governor Shaw of Iowa Is opouly a candi
date- for the presidency. Senator Dolllvcr
of Iowa nnuounced today what has been
hinted at for months. The senator also
vouched for the fact that Iowa and a con
siderable portion of the mlddlo west would
be back of Iowa's bod,
Senator Dolllver's announcement wns
precipitated todny by tho fact that his
presence In Chicago was believed to be for
tho purpoau of meeting Vlco President
Theodore Roosevelt. Ho was asked wb.oth.or
ho was lending his influeuco to tho qulot
presidential boom that Governor Yates Is
said to be working up tor Colonel Rooso-
veil.
'No. I shnll not see Mr. Roosovolt," ho
said quickly. "I know nothing ot Mr. Roose
velt s boom nnd I am not here to consult
with anybody. I leave tonight for the west.
Vlco President Roosovolt Is a popular man
nnd has hosts of friends, but I do not know
whether he Is launching any boom for 1901
nt this time.
"lown has n candidate In the person of
Lcsllo M. Shaw, and my state Is back of
him solidly. I believe that we can couut
upon other support, but the date of tho next
convention Is fur off nnd many things may
happen betwen now nnd then. Governor
Shaw has a strong hold on Iowa and upon
tho nation. Ho is a safe, conservative man
and a mnn ot ability. His reputation Is not
confined to the borders of his own state and
his terra of governor of Iowa haB been ono
of the most successful In tho history ot tho
commonwealth."
Nothing Is to be done Immediately In tho
furtherance of Governor Shaw's political
ambitions. The managers of his prcslden
ttal campaign believe the time Is not ripe
for action, so the Iowa boom will not
rormally launched until others of tho
numorous booms now Incubating nre
brought to light. Then an aggressive fight
will bo bogun.

PITTSBURG, Aug. 30. While there Is no
actual change In tho steel strlko situation,
much trausplrcd today calculated to produce
results In tho near future. The conference
between the commltteo from Mllwnukeo nml
the Amalgamated otllcials, the continued ef
forts of President Hums of tho Window
Glass Workers' association, to bring about
arbitration or conciliation, the scathing id
Itorlal in tho Labor World, calling for tho
Impeachment of President Shaffer, the
march of tho strikers of McKeesport to l)u
quesno and the decided effect of tho In
junction proceedings nt Canal Dover, O., all
Indicate that the crisis Is approaching nnd
that an Important chnngo In affairs Is not
fur distant.
Tho details of the conference of tho Mil
waukee commltteo and tho Amalgamated of
ficials havo not yet been divulged, but tho
fact thnt tho commltteo Is here nt nil,
would Indicate that the Bay Vliiw strikers
nro uneasy. J. D. Hlckey and C. F. Cooper ot
the commltteo have been here since Mon
day. Tho general belief Is thnt tho main
object of the committee's visit Is to nrrango
some compromise by which tho Bay View
plant may resume. President Shaffer, on
tho contrary, says tho two men did not
come h';ro ns representatives of tli3 Bay
View lodge. They nro ltlmply here, ho says,
as Individual member of tho Amalgamated
association to explain In person tho reason
for their action in regard to the general
Btrlko order and the reversal of that deci
sion after Tlglui's visit to Milwaukee.
"The lodge did not send them, nor did
It Bond to mo nny request to be allowed
to go to work," said President Shaffer,
liny View to Aet.
The two gentlemen left for homo tonight,
nnd It Is said a meeting ot their lodge will
bo held upon their return to tako action on
their report. What that report will bo
cannot be learned hero. Notwithstanding
tho report from Now York that no confer
ence has been held or arranged for between
C, M, Schwab and Sljnon Burna. looking, to
arbitration, tho Inttqr has not relaxed his
efforts In this direction. "I am Interested
In this matter," said President Burns' to
night, "ns tlto big strike Is affecting all
lltios -of . business, Including the window
glass trade. My purpose la to get the two
sides together aud start tho mills. If Pres
ident Schwab Is still opposed to my plin of
arbitration I will request him to suggest
whatever modifications Im desires, providing
tho steel corporation will arbitrate.
The editorial In the recent Issue of tho
Labor World, tho mouthpiece of the Pitts
burg dlntrlct of tho Mlno Workers' union
nnd tho Pattern Makers' association, Is a
long nnd bitter attack on President Shaffer
nnd demands his Impcnchment for calling
the present strlko. The demand for tho
impeachment la made because It Is charged
Shaffer compelled tho steel workers to vlo
lnle contracts, becauso be expelled tho Chi
cago men and rovnked their charter with
out constitutional hearing and becauso tho
wholo atrlko Is unconstitutional e.nd has
brought ruin nnd, wreck to men who have
mado the Amalgamatfcd association. Tho
editorial gives tjventy-four reasons why
Prosldent Shaffer should bo Impeached.
Gle the1 I'nper Mtntidlno-,
Tho fact that Georgo Powell, president of
tho Tinplate Workers' Protoctlvo associa
tion ot America, L. R. Thomas, president of
the Pattern Makers' league, and Patrick
Dolan, president of the United Mlno Work
ers, ot thu Pittsburg district, constitute tho
board of control, of tho publication, and
that Prcsldont Shutter; up to within a year
ago was a member of tho board, would seem
to lend considerable weight to tho utter
ances of tho paper.
When shown the editorial tonight Mr.
1 Shaffer said: "Mr. Powell of tho Tin Work-
, mentlng on it.
Tho march of tho McKeesport strikers to
Duquesno todny was a disappointment to
tho strikers, partly became of the heavy
rain during tho pnrado and tho meeting In
an open lot nnd partly because of a lack nt
onthuHlasm, It wns expected that at least
6,000 of tho 12,000 strikers would participate
In tho march, but by actual count thero
wero CK3 In line. The rain came down In
torrents from tho tlmo tho parade started
until they returned to McKeesport. Tim
men marched without any cheering or noisy
demonstration nnd no troublo of nny kind
developed. It was expected a halt would
be made at tho Duqueane mill gate, but
nono was mado. Several mill men came out
of tho plant w(th their dinner buckets In
their arms, but wore not stopped. Thero
was no strlko talk heard at tho Duquesno
mill and the men-did not manifest tho In
terest expected.
No More Plnhetn.
Tho Injunction granted the American
Sheet Steel company nt Canal Dover, ovor
the strikers has had tho effect (if doing
away with nil picketing about the mill. The
withdrawal of tho picltots was on the nd
vlco of the local counsel, who ndvlsed this
course until tho counsel of tho associa
tion ut Pittsburg should mako known what
coursii tn pursue In tho future. Unltod
States marshals havo served nlmost all
of the 000 strikers with the order.
President Shaffer today stint circulars to
all lodge ot tho association reviewing tho
strike situation, whlrh ho says Is In good
sliape. Ho cautions all members against
the South Chicago men who refused to obey
tho Btrlko order, dcnomlnntes them non
union and declare their cards void.
Great, preparations havo been made hern
for I-abor day, Monday next, A grnnd rally
of allied trades nnd labor unions of west
ern Punnsylvanla Ik to bo held at Ross
Grove, at which Shaffer, Dolan, Burns and
Churchill nro ndvortli.ed to toll tho story
of tho strike, Tho rally will be under the
auspices of the Amalgamated association.
A parade of Immensn proportions Is icbJ
ulod for this city on that day, the bis ma-
