Senator-elect Kenyon reached here from
Pes Moines this evening and was given a
moat hearty welcomw. All evening crowds

the platform of the car and had com
menced to xhake hands with his many
friends.
Aa the aenator appeared at , the door of
the car, Just aa the train came to a stop,
some person In the crowd called out:
'Three cheers for Senator Kenyon." They
were given, and were followed by three
more, after which the xheering waa taken
up and continued In a general way. for
several minutes.
Fort Dodge was In holiday attire fur the
occasion, flags flying from all of the public
buildings and hundreds of business houses
and 'dwellings. 1
After the greeting at the depot, in which
most of the people of the city took an

honor he knows to represent Iowa In this

only the next two years In the senate and
never compromise or trim on any public
question than to remain there twenty years
by processes of compromise and trimming.
Backbone is more essential to our politics
thsn wishbone. Iowa need have no fear
that I win vote against the Intercuts of the
state In tariff matters. 1 feel that laws
looking for human rights are the most vital
questions of the day. I will favor legislation
looking to that, especially the Income tax
law, workmen's compensation acta, strict
corrupt practice lsw, federal control of
stock and bond Ihaiios and interstate car

trust act. making essential the jailing of
offenders."

seems to me right," he said. "I hope to

On the other hand, should Colonel Hobago
arrive ahead of the rebels It Is predicted
the Insurrectos will be unsuccessful or will
abandon the attempt without any fighting
whatever. If both forces arrive simultan

take place and that Bl Pano will be In
more danger than Douglas when Agua

While the garrison at Juarez Is making
preparations General Navarro, the federal

HILL POPULAR IN GERMANY;
Retirement of Ambassador Greatly
Regretted at Foreign Office.
BERLIN PAPERS ARE MYSTIFIED :
Humor Is Printed that Change Is

Question. I
RKRLIN. April 15. The retirement from j
the German capital of Dr. David Jayne
HI'I, whose resignation as ambassador of
the United States to Germany, It was an
nounced sesterday would become effective
July 1. la regretted at the foreign office,
where the relations between the govern
ment officials and Dr. Hill have been of!
the very best. It Is felt here that Dr.
Hill's tenure of the embassy has done
much to further the German-American
friendship.
The ambassabor's resignation apparently
did not come wholly as a surprise, though
no officlul expression of his Intention to
abandon the diplomatic service had been
received st the foreign office before he
left Berlin on March 10 for America. Par
ticular attention Is called In official circles
to the fact that the relations between
Kmperor William and the American am
bassador are most cordial.
American rumors that Count Helnrlch
von Rernstoff. the German ambassador at
Washington, was simultaneously resigning,
which reports, it waa thought, might give
political significance to Dr. Hill's re
tirement, were promptly and emphatically
denied at the foreign office.
Will. Attend Kiel Hegatta.
The date on which Ambassador Hill's
resignation becomes effective sill enable
him to participate in the reception which
Is being planned for the visiting American
warships during Kiel week, and which
promises to be one of the most Important !
demonstrations of the German-American
good relations in recent years. Accord
ing to the Itenerary of the proposed cruise
of the second division of the Amerlccan
Atlantic fleet to the Haltic, the American
ships will be at Kiel from June 22 to June
SO. The Wllhetmshaven squadron of the
German' fleet, comprising the most modern
battleships of the German navy, will be
at Kiel from June IK until June 25, but It
Is possible that it will be retained at Kiel
until June 30 in order fittingly to welcome
the visiting Americans.
Werman Papers Mystified.
The German newspapers are myatlfied
by the sudden resignation of the American
ambassador and print an assortment of
rumors as to what caused his retirement,
including one that Dr. Hill had clashed
with Secretary of State Knox over the
potash question.
The Mtttag Zeitung pays a high tribute
to Dr. Hill, a writer, scholar and diplomat,
and says It ' Is an open secret that the
American ambassador never felt at ease In
Ms Rerlin post because of the incidents
which occurred at the tim of his ap
pointment. The ambassador, the paper continues, re
garded his stay at the German capital' aa
temporary and accepted the post under
these circumstances only ss an egress from
a disagreeable situation between Germany
and America.
