The IOWA Supreme Court Renders De.
cision In Favor Of the secsdsrs from the
Supreme Lodge of United Worknnen.
WATERLOO, Iowa, Special Telegram, April
52.-The Supreme court this morning, filed an
opinion at Dubuque, in the celebrated Uni ted
Worknen case, reversing the Judgment OF the
circuit court in the case. When the SUI
preme lodge A O. u. W., passed what is
called the relief law, by which it claimed
to assist in payment Of losses under
the jurisdiction Of the supreme lodge, the
state grand lodge Of Iowa refused to pay the
relief assessments, and was suspended. A fac
ton of the order in the state still retained it's
fealty to the supreme lodge, and organized
another grand lodge. The matter was then
UT in this city about a year ago. He rendered
judgment in favor of the adherents
of the supreme lodge, and from this de-
cision the case was app called to the supreme
court J. D. Nichols, Of Vinton, past grand
master, presented the case Of the state lodge to
life insurance company, incorporated and
acting in accordance with the laws Of Iowa,
and he claimed that the supreme lodge faction
were in effect but agents Of a foreign in surance
company. He was interviewed upon the
decision ~; ct H.. the supreme t court

master Of the supreme lodge adherents, was in

effect OF the decision until he saw the full text
Of 1t, but he thought that if the decision was as
it appeared to be it would affect not only this

Another Account ofthe Killing Of lsarrtos
The San Francisco Bulletin publishes the fol-
lowing particulars of the death of the late
President Barrios of Guatemala, obtained from
L B. Parrott, the Guatenlalan consul Of this
city, who returned here on the steamer Gre
NADIA from Guatanala. The engagement in
which Barrios was killed was between ono
battalion of the Guatemalan troops and much
larger body of San Salvadoreans. Barrjos
gave the order to attack, but no advance
movement had been made, as the troops were
under command Of an unpopular officer, and
refused to obey hin. Barrios was in his tent
with two of his officers when this information
was brought to him. On the refusal Of both
these officers to assume command he left the
tent, and while proceeding to the front Of the
column he was intending to lead he was shot
by a sharpshooter from a tree. The bullet en-
tered his right shoulder, passed Through his
heart, and out through the left side Mean.
while the battle had commenced and in short
while both sides withdrew from the battle field
but not until determined and successful Of
fort had been made to recover the body of
Barrios.

toward the edge of the scoops the crowd raised
their hats to HIM, and he smilingly nodded in

of spring that were waited over from the

and carried q small, thin cane in his hand.
Az he walked down the steps it was evident
that hid wanted to conceal his weakness aud

unaided and without falteriBg. The rest Of
the party followed on behind him The gem
eral entered the carriage first, and after he
had seated himself comfortably the others
followed As they drove away there was q
slight cheer from the crowd.
Gen. Grants appearance was disappointing
to those who had inferred from the reports of
his improved condition that a physical gain
had also take place. He looks like a very sick
man yet The effects of his long sickness are
plainly and distressingly apparent in his face,
his body and his carriage. His short beard
white; the broad face Of years ago is now long
drawn out and thin, and he has
none of the rudy color that once character
lied it It is IN his way Of walking,
however, that the change is more noticeable.
All traces Of his soldier-1ike bearing have dis

ways bears heavily on his cane. The drive
lasted about twenty minutes. When Gen.

began to notice him, however, he disappeared.

ENGLAND and Russia.

There is considerable excitement in naval
circles over the impending conflict between
Russia and England Even the more con-
servative are coming to the strong belief that
war is inevitable The interest has been great
ly increased by the presence at Hampton
Roads of Russian corvette and . Brit
ish man war, which, according to the
best advices, have been following each 9TH
er over and about the high seas for some
time past, and only waiting for a DECLARE
ton Of war to fight a grand naval duel Be-
lieving that this declaration will come within
few days, quiet a number Of gentlemen start
ed for Norfolk with the intention Of remaining
in that vicinity until the battle comes off. It
will be a spectacle we'll worth witnessing it
they can get near enough to see it. The Rus
sian corvette is magnificent piece Of naval
architecture, and sails under the name of Stry-
lax, Capt Skelgaloff. She is manned by 1SU
men. The British man war Garnet is said
to be perfect vessel of its kind. and is under
command of Capt Henry Hand with $50 men
and twelve guns. 1t appears that the
Garnet acting under orders, followed the
Strylax from the West Indies, and is only wait

that the vessels will remain at Hampton Roads
long enough to receive information of the dec
laration of war, then clear from American wa,
ters and open fire within three miles Of Nor

ment Of the conflict and attording an inspiring
scene for the marines al the navy yard. The

ter of mile apart watching each others
movements with nervous anxiety.
