IMPROVEMENTS AT STATE INSTITUTIONS Money that Will Be Kanended the Present Btennlal Period for Build ings and Repairs A City lir. vey that Causes Troable. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DE3 MOINES, May 28. (Special.) Preparations are being made here for tha formation of a considerable party of Des Moines people to go to Qulncy, Mass.', some time next month to attend the launching of the protected cruiser Des Moines, now under construction In a shipyard there. The work on the cruiser Is reported to be well along to the point of completion. The date for the launching was fixed for laat Thanksgiving day and Governor Shaw ap pointed a young woman of this city to do the" ehlstenlng act with the bottle, but there was delay in the construction and then the time fixed was come time in Jan uary. But the launching hao not yet been accomplished. The original delay waa over the procuring of a special brand of bolts or rivets, many thousand of which were to be used in putting on the light sheathing. What has caused other delays Is not known here, but the builders of the boat have sent word that they are nearly ready for-the launching. It Is expected that Governor Cummlna and his staff will go, also Mayor Brenton of Des Moines and a party of city officials, and there will be a delegation of the Iowa contingent in Washington to go to Qulncy on that occasion. Those who have Investigated the matter say that the cruiser Is being finished In the finest pos. slble manner and Des Molnea will be an addition to the navy. of which the city and the naval authortles may well be proud. It Is to cost a little over $1,000,000. After the launching It will be aeveral months be fore It la ready for commission.

The city waa aurveyed" many yeara ago and has been built up lowly, but the street lines do not follow the original plat except In a few instances. ome of the leading atreets which have been occupied and used, along which good residences have been built a long time, are aa much as ten feet out of their true location. It the city Is to be surveyed and the new aurvey accepted as in accordance with the plata many houses and barna will ave to be moved, sidewalks changed about and doubtless a great deal of litigation will follow. The discovery Is causing a great deal of indignation In Wlnterset. Iowa Swamp Land Indemnity. Attorney Evana of thla city, formerly in the United States landofflce, la In Washing ton to urge upon congress the passage of bill Introduced In the house by Lacey into the senate by Dolliver, providing for a settlement of the Indemnity claima of cer tain countlea in Iowa and other states on account of alleged awamp landa erroneously disposed of by the government. All this swamp land was given to Iowa and by Iowa to the countlea and aold. A number of Iowa countlea claimed indemnity because much land that waa In fact awamp land waa not so surveyed or reported and these counties a half century ago got nearly $500,000 from the United Statea on this claim. - Now a almllar claim Is made on behalf of many countlea in northern Iowa, aggregating nearly as much and last winter the Iowa legislature passed a. concurrent resolution requesting the Iowa delegation to favor the bill mentioned. The countlea have no direct Interest in the claim now, aa it is entirely in the bands of speculators. Iowa and McKlnley Memorial. Governor A. B. Cummins haa undertaken to raise soma additional money from Iowa for the McKlnley monument fund. At the time the national association for that pur pose waa organized Governor Shaw ap pointed a committee to look after the mat ter1 for Iowa but a number of persons set out to raise funds for the proposed memo rial arch In Washington. There waa con filet between the two and aa a result but very little was accomplished. ' Before the close of Governor Ehaw'a term the matter waa entirely dropped. Governor Cummlna Is now taking it up and appealing to per eona! friends all over the atate by letter to form commltteea and solicit funds to be adlsd to the Iowa contribution. About $1,800 waa collected In varloua waya from the atate and forwarded to Cleveland, mostly through the postmsstera of tha atate. It la hoped that about $10,000 will be secured from Iowa. Ths Washington memorial arch movement haa been aban don 1. leaving the field clear for the pro posed monument at Canton In honor of the dead president. Governor Cummlna was the Iowa member of the national committee that managed McKlnleya first campaign and he waa a great admirer of McKlnley, thus entering upon the work with great teal and peraonal Interest.

TRIBUTES OF BRITISH PRESS Expressions of (isnd Will for t utted tales Involved la Tanner fote Comment. LONDON, May 26. The deep Importance attached here to the friendship of the United States could not better be exemplified than by the unusually sincere expressions pub lished in the London press of regret at the death of Lord Pauncefote, the British am bassador at Washington, and the high eulo g'ums of his career lu the t'nited States. The papera thla morning vie with each other In paying tribute to the Inestimable value of Lord Pauncefote's work to the mplre In the difficult position, which, as the Dally Chronicle reminds its readers, la now tha most exacting in the diplomatic service and quite different from the time when the Lord Stratford de Radcllffe described the Washlpgton legation aa "very pleasant so cially, but not requiring any very great talents politically." Naturally the occasion leads to the re viewing of the varloua thorny questions Lord Paunctefote had to deal with and some little resentment la still displayed over the manner In which Lord Sackvllle Weat, Brit ish minister at Washington from 1881 to 1888, waa dismissed. But these allusions are only made to emphasize the credit due Lord Pauncefote for the good relatione now existing between Great Britain and the United States. The Chronicle says: "He will be remem bered as the first and best ambassador athot this or any other country accredited to the great republic." " t The Standard aaye: "Perhaps the most eloquent form of praise Lord Pauncefote can take la to observe that the relations between Great Britain and the United States are ao smooth that It may appear ungra cious to the memories of the time when they were troubled." The Daily Telegraph says: "It la not too much to say that the last of the great ambassadors has disappeared. Lord Paunce fote will always be remembered aa the pio neer of the aupreme pact of perpetual friendship between Great Britain and Amer ica which will some day be accomplished." All the morning papera publish long ca blegram containing the opinions of Amer ican newspapers and atatesmen concerning the dead ambassador and print portraits of Lord Pauncefote, .sketches of bla life, etc. Gratitude la expressed to the United States for granting a state funeral to Lord Pauncefote, while the Dally Mall suggests that in view of the larger Interesta now bound up in British relations with the United States the question may arise giv ing the primacy to the Washington, Instead of the Parts embassy, which has hitherto held the first place In the diplomatic hier archy.

TO CO-OPERATE WITH FARMERS Walter Vroomaa Pushes Concern to Dispose of Grain and Eliminate Middlemen's Profits. KANSAS CITY. May 28. Walter Vroo- man of the Western Co-operative move ment haa closed contracts for the purchase of six of the largest wheat elevatora in the' Kansas wheat belt and two of the largest flouring mills. The price paid ia said to have been $750,0(50, and Mr. Vrooman, who haa left for New York to complete the financial end of the plan, says the present purchase is but the beginning of a move-J ment to center the farmers of Kansas in a co-operative branch of the Vrooman Co operative company. The concern will be known aa the Wheat and Flour Western Co-operative company. The farmers are to be taken Into the acbeme upon the payment of $100 each, for which they are to receive the market value of their wheat aold to the company and In addition will receive one-half of the profit derived, the other half going to co-operative atorea through which the wheat and flour will be handled. ' "The plan," said Mr. Vrooman, "la to eliminate wheat speculators and the middle man. The farmers are In earnest sympathy with tha movement. It is the only way to head off the talked-of flour trust that la forming tn New York." It ia Intended to ship to' Great Britain, to be aold among the co-operative members there, the surplus product not disposed of tn Kansas and Missouri. MORE TROUBLE FOR PACKERS Five Handred Union Teamsters Strike ad Serious Tleup Is Imminent. CHICAGO, May it. Five hundred union teamsters employed in the delivery of meat by the big packers went on strike at mid night tonight for a aubstantiai increase in wagea and for shorter hours. As a result of the strike the men say no meat will be delivered to retail dealera to morrow or at railroad atatlona for ship ment out of the city. The atrlkers claim that they have re ceived assurancea of the aupport from the other labor organisations whose members are employed at the atockyarda, and that any attempt by the packers to fill their placea with nonunion teamsters will reault in a general tleup of the packing houses For the last two weeks the union through a number of commltteea haa been making an effort to gain conceaslona from the man agers of the different firms. In every case they clglm tbey have been denied confer ences and at a meeting tonight it waa de cided to atrike in an effort to force the packera to terms.

STOCK MARKET IS PUZZLING Perplexing and UocerUin, Owing to Com-blnation-of Conflicting Circumstances, LARGE CAPITALISTS ARE OPTIMISTIC Exert Powerful Influence for Frosno tlon of Higher Prices that t'aanot Be Ignored So Derided Move Pending. NEW YORK, May 26. (Special. )-The banking house of Henry Clewa A Co. says: Long distance views of the stock market Just now are exceedingly perplexing and uncertain, owing to the unusual combina tion of Loiifllctuig circumstances. Amongst the large capljfiilsts there is a distinctly optimistic tone, and. as they exert a re markably powerful control over prices nnj are vitally Interested In promoting a iiiKhur market, this Influence cannot be ignored, although crop uncertainties and suspicions that Insiders are anxious to lighten thflr loads effectually discourage tho develop merit of a large outside support. Between those various Influences there Is no oc casion at the moment to look for any de cided movements In either direction. There Is little or nothing In the situation to war rant expentations of any Important reac tion; nor la there basis yet for any genuine upward movement, except through artifi cial means or some radical change not yet anticipated. On the other hand, there are enough interests at work to warrant con siderable trading, and the opportunities for profit In stocks bought and sold with discretion are likely to be numerous. Every week brings out new railroad deala of consequence, all a part of the great con centration movement which we have re peatedly alluded to as being one of tha most Important underlying features of strength In the stock market. The appar ently unreasonably high prices at which some railroad securities are selling are en tirely due to these movements; good earn ings and increased dividends having been long over-discounted. Insiders are, of course, fully aware of'these possibilities; their stocks are withdrawn or held far above present market value, and the scant floating supply leaves prices at the mercy of a new class of speculators, the bold operators who make a dash for thla stock aad then for another, compelling timid owners to buy at extravagant prices through fear of losing control. Needless to say, movements of this sort are ex ceedingly unsettling, and trading In such stocks on margin Is highly dangerous In spite of the excellent character of the se curity. Chicago A Northwestern in a strik ing example of this tendency. Less than a month ago It sold at 271, and reports were that It wne going considerably higher, owing to the consolidation movement In the Vanderbllt properties, a movement that Is extremely slow, but nevertheless con sidered inevitable. This week Northwest ern has been selling about 260, a decline of 20 points within a month In one of the moBt substantial stocks for no other reason than the one Just referred to. Similar cases could be cited If needed. This segre gation of Amerlmn rnllrnarl vainmi in which Messrs. Gould and Harriman are now taking an active part, will be an Im portant factor In the market for months to come. Such transactions are likely to pro- vt'ne iivunies. noi always conducive to peace In the stock market: and It seems Improbable that the various svstems can be unified without Inviting more or less friction in the final divisions of territory. Mr. Gould's intention of connecting his southwestern roads wth the Atlantic sea board, which will soon be an accomplished fact In spite of the opposition of Pennsyl vania, Is a speck on the horizon that will bear watching. Mr. Qould does not seem to be Included In the community-of-lnterest plans, and with his power over-rates In the far west, as well as southwest, his opera tions and extensions have a special Inter est. So, while the movement toward con centration means ultimate stability to rail road investments, the progress of such plans Is not likely to be alwavs smooth; and there need be no surprise If occasional disturbances occur In the local struggles for supremacy. Railroad destinies, it should be remembered, are now in the hands of giants, who are alive to the consequences of disagreement, and fortunately they are largely dominated by a resolute master hand whose constant policy Is harmony. inc iiiinieuiHie suuauon is cnieny con trolled by the strike. An esrly solution of this difficulty would heln the market hut at this writing It looks as If no settlement was In sight until after a further trial of endurance. Both sides to the controversy maintain a alienee as to the main points at Issue, which renders It difficult n th rive at the real merits of the dispute. The uciuitiiuB ui ine miners are ior Detter pay and shorter hours. The accumulation of fabulous fortunes, largely through specula tions, together with the rewards or legiti mate enterprise and ability, naturally stim ulate ine aesire ior Detter conditions In the ranks of labor; where the fact that these big capitalists usually pluck the larger share of their fortunes from h smaller capitalists rather than from the auurer is generally overiooKed. On the other hand. In the case of the coal strike, the operators very naturally feel that this Is a question of whether the union or the owners are to be masters. So long as this Is the Issue there Is but one position for the operators to take, and that Is to fight It out to a successful finish. Whether recognition of the union Is an Issue or not, Is not made public, but here also Is a point which the unions must some day concede. Responsibility must go hand in hand with cower. At Dresent the union. exert tremendous power and practically no responsibility. Contracts with them have no Dinning rorce, and redress for violation Is impossible. The unwillingness, there fore, of the unions to take on the cor porate form and assume responsibility Is an element of weakness In their cause which only they can rectify. Very likely this Is an issue which will play a part in future labor controversies. The outcome of this struggle Is of vital Interest to the stock market, and an unfavorable isaue would probably depress other than the coal shares. The monetary situation thni e,irh. Improvement. Too much Importance can- iiul u urapu io me aia received from London last week. It shows In a most emphatic manner that the strain at the chief point of tension for months past has been relieved; that London Is able to lend and will not be forced to borrow.

The money market shows a somewhat firmer tendency and the private rate of discount reached ' The frankfurter Zeltung believes that this rate Is likely to n hleher principally because tha de mands of New York are making discount ers more reserved.

Read Her Letter. "Dear Mrs. Pinkham : For several years after my last child was born I felt a peculiar weakness, such as I never had experienced before, with severe pains in the ovaries and frequent headaches. " I tried the doctor's medicines and found it money worse than wasted. A friend who had been tured through the use of X.ydla E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound advised 'me to try it. I did so, also your Sanative Wash, and I must say I never experienced such relief before. Within six weeks I was like another woman. I felt young and strong and happy once more. " This is several years ago, but Lydia E. Tinkham's Vegetable Compound is my only medicine. If I ever feel bad or tired a few doses brings instant relief."

Lydia E. Pinkham's VctretaM Compound at one removes Buch troubles. Ilefuse to buy any otner medicine, ment haa finally crystallised Into ft strong upward movement on the Stock exchange. In spite of the lack of definite news, of ficial or otherwise, from Pretoria, the mar ket assumed strength on the general in dications that peace waa assured. The buoyant tone In nearly all the departments has been Increasing steadily throughout the last week, when the official announce ment of peace comes the boom will prob ably already be In full swing and every reasonable advance will be fully discounted. In the meanwhile the money market re mains tight. As for weeks past the mar ket Is stilt Indebted to the bank by over 2,000,000. while the slow government dis bursements render the repayment of this Indebtedness difficult. While the announce ment of peace is expected to hasten the full resumption of work in the Rand It Is likely that the Industrial requirements of the reconstruction period In Bouth Africa will absorb quite aa much cash as the mines produce In gold for the remainder of the preaerit year, there Is consequently little prospect for easier money unless gold comes from the continent. It Is as sumed that New York la more likely to demand gold than to send It here. Buy ing, which has been restricted to gilt edged stocks. Is now extending to the more speculative Issues. Home ralla have mado but slight advances, however, as It Is known that many new Issues of capital are pending, and this renders buyers chary. It is also known that about 2,000 loans and companies are only waiting a favorable moment to enter Into competition with the savings of the public. The "future course of the American section of the market Is a matter of some doubt, though this section will probably follow the up ward tide. Americans have certainly been stronger during the last week on the strength of easier money In Wall street and the encouraging crop report. The outlook for Northern Pacifies is much bet ter than It was. but the extension of the coal strike In the United Btatea Is worry ing a good many operators. Canadian Pacifies were strong last week and touched 139 on further New York purchases. Chile and Argentine bonds strensthened rapidly throughout the week, and will probably rise sharply because of the publication last night of the terms of the protocol be tween the two countries. While mining shares had a cheerful tone, the public is still holding off, and the ad vances so far consist principally of mark ing up prices by the holders. MADRID. May 25.
