Iowa state bystander. [volume] (Des Moines, Iowa) 1894-1916, 1898-10-21

At the present time there is only
one railroad in China, which was built
by Ii Hung Chang and is under the
control of the government. The
trouble now threatening between Eng
land and Russia has arisen through
the reputation by China of contract
with the Hongkong and Shanghai
bank to build road from Tientsin via
shan-Hai-Kwon to New-Chwang. The
bank is owned almost entirely by
English capitalists. although few
Americans hold stock In it. The pro-
>1osed new road was an important
mart of the railroad system under de-
yelopment in China. At its northern
terminal it was to have connected with
the Manchurian road, which formed
the connecting link with the great
transsiberian route. On the south it
would have tapped, through Tientsin
and the road reaching to the Yang
tse river, the rich valley which Is
China's chief source Of agricultural
wealth. The proposed road, which the
Hongkong and Shanghai bank held
the contract to build, ran through the
Russian sphere of influence. Con-
sequently Russia brought great inf1u-
ence to bear upon the Chinese govern
meut to prevent the carrying out OF
the terms of the contract.

The Democratic state central com.

state ticket and are bending all their
energies to pulling the fusion candidates
for congress through IN the Second,
Sixth, Eighth and Ninth districts. The
other candidates for congress have been
told that they must hustle for them

Altgeld and Lincoln.

In his little speech introducing for.
mer Governor Altgeld Ct Illinois, to
the audience at Des Moines las;
Wednesday night, Judge Spurrier, who
is the fusion candidate for judge of the
supreme court of Iowa, said Of him
(Altgeld): HE comes from the state
of the immortal Lincoln and was cast
in the same mold!'
Never has partisan political utter
ance come nearer blasphemy than that.
Think of it, voters of Iowa, a man who
asks for your suffrages for the exalted
position of judge Of the supreme court
dares to stand before an Iowa audience
and compare the friend of anarchists
and chief exponent of socialism, with
the martyred Lincoln. 1t is we'll, per-
haps, that at the same meeting Judge
Spurrier declared that he did not ex-
pect to be elected and did not want to
be. that little Introductory speech would
have made it certain that he could not
be elected though he wanted the Office
never so much.

Judge Day Gives spaniards Something
to Talk About.
LONDON, Oct. 1s.-A dispatch to a
London news agency from Pals says:
yesterday Monday) the conference
reached crisis for the first time.
Judge Day presented the demands of
the American commission in threaten
ing words. He said that delay was
the only possible object attainable by
the persistent efforts of the Spanish
commissioners to saddle the United
States with the Cuban debt, and it
would be tolerated no longer, as the
United States would neither assume
nor guarantee any part of the debt.
The Spaniards replied that this placed
Spain in a position of repudiating or
reducing the face value of the
Cuban bonds from so to GO per cent,
paying only half the stipulated inter-
es: on their reduced value. Before
adopting either alternative. they
would surrender to the United States
the entire Philippines. Judge Day re-
spon6ed that the surrender of the
Philippines would probably be de-
mandcd. irrespective of the Cuban or
any other debt. This, to the Span
iards. the first intimation Of the inten-
tons of the United States as to the
Philippines, resulted in Il whispered
conference, followed by request for
an adjournment. in order to commune
cate with Madrid. Judge Day said
that President Mckinley had instruct
sd him to demand the entire surrender
of Porto Rico today (Tuesdny) and the
delivery Of every town to the United
States officers before midni ght, to-
gethcr with the evacuation of Havana
on or before November !, when the
| United States would be at the gates of
the city, ready to take possession.
There was no alternative offered in
the case of either of these demands, and
| the session consequently was very
brief The American commissioners
have received dispatches from Wash
ington indicating that the administra-
ton is irritatcd and indignant over the
delay of the Spanish commissioners. y

ALL OVER THE WORLD
STEAMER ON THE ROCKS.

Drowned by the A<cidspt.
LONDON, Oct. 1.-THE Mtlantic
Transport Company's steamer Mohe'
gan, formerly the Cleopatra, OF the
Wilson & Furness. Leyland line, which
left London for New York with fifty
passengers and crew of $50, is ashore
off the Lizard, between the Manacles
and the Lowlands. 1t appears that
when the Mohegan struck, gale was
blowing and the sea was running high.
Lifeboats put off from the Lizard and
from Falmouth, one returning filed
with passengers. Several were drown
ed, however, it Is reported, on the
passage of the lifeboat to the shore.
The coast at that point is extremely
dangerous, and has been the scene OF
numerous wrecks. Some years ago
there was q movement set on foot to
get lightship placed there, but it
failed. According to the latest in
formation from Falmouth the vessel
has gone ashore off the Lizard, and
but thirty-one of the two hundred
persons on board have been saved.
FALMOUTH, Oct. 17.-Out of the lGl
persons on board the lost steamer
Mohegan. forty-hve were saved. From
the best evidence obtalnable it appears
that the Mohegan foundered five min
utes after she struck the rocks. She
was going at full speed struck twice,
stopped and rapidly settled into the
water. AS the captain and the
executive officers of the steamer went
down with her, it has been impossible
thus far to ascertain how she got out
of her course, as Falmouth lights and
the coast were visible. One OF the
survivors. George Maule. of New York,
said: "We left London Thursday, and
all went well until o'clock the next
evening, when most of the passengers
were at dinner. The steamer was
going at full speed, and suddenly we
heard a loud crash, which seemed to
denote that we had collided with some
other vessel. But when we rushed on
deck we found that the Mohcgan was
on the rocks between the Manacles
and the low lands. in the vicinity Of
the Lizard. Orders were given at
once follower the boats, and the crew
of the steamer behaved like heroes.
Her captain stood on the bridge, and
the greatest order prevailed among
the officers and crew. The steamer,
however, began to settle by the head.
Two boats were launched. The women
were sent away in the first boat"

Credits Communication Company Of Sioux
city Loses Its Suit.
Sioux Cry. Oct. 2O.-An important
decision has Just been handedsdown by
the supreme court Of the United States
which affects the ownership of two
railways with headquarters at Sioux
City. These roads are the Sioux City
& Northern and the Sioux City, O'Neil
& Western. The decision is against
the Credits Communication Company. of
Sioux City, the corporation which owns
all the assets of the organizations and
persons who failed in Sioux City in the
financial crash of 1893. The supreme
court aftirms the decision of Judge
Shiras, of the federal court of the
northern district of Iowa, in awarding
title to j. Kennedy Tod & Co., of New
York, to 81, 06o, 900 of the stock OF the
Sioux City & Northern Railway, and
81, $40, 900 of the first mortgage bonds
of the Sioux City, O'Ncil & Western.
These bonds were hypothecated by A.
S. Garretson, now democratic candi-
date for congress, from the vaults of
the Union Loan & Trust Company in
Sioux City. They went to j. Kennedy
Tod & Co.. to secure loan of 81 500, 900
to bridge company. The Credits
Communication Company contended they
were really a part of the assets OF the
Union Loan & Trust Company and not
the property of the Tods. AS it now
stands the Credits Communication Com
pany may redeem by paying Tod & Co
81 500. 900 and interest amounting in
all to about s., 600, 900.
