GOOD WORK Of LIFE SAVERS
General superintendent Reports Upon
Lives and Property which
Have Been Rescued.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2s.--The following
Is an abstract Of the report Of the general
superintendent OF the lifesaving service:
At the close Of the last fiscal year the
establishment embraced 264 stations, 1872
being on the Atlantic, 56 on the lakes, Is on
the Pacific and 1 at the falls of the Ohio
at Louisville, Ky.
The number Of disasters to documented
vessels within the field Of the operations Of
the service during the year was 400. There
wer on board these vessels 3,113 persons, Of
whom twelve were lost. The estimated
value Of the vessels and cargoes involved
was $7,16S, 800. OF this amount S., 416, $50
was saved and s757, $50 lost.
In addition to the foregoing there were
during the year 365 casualties to small
craft. on board Of which there were S74
persons, OF whom ten were lost. The value
Of the property involved was $199, 705, of
which Sits 1926 was saved. Fifty-six other
persons were rescued who had fallen from
wharves. piers, etc., the most Of whom
would have persisted but for the aid of the
lifesaving crews. The crews saved and as
sisted to save during the year All vessels,
valued with their cargoes at 81. 1868. 655, and
rendered assistance Of minor Importance to
324 other vessels in distress, besides warn

More Than 10000 VIII Once More Be.
come Civilinns-ManiIa Must
be GarrisOned.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2S.-The War de-
partment in view of the assurances that a
peace treaty will be signed is arranging to
muster out more troops. 1t is probable
that from $1,000 to 10000 volunteers will be
mustered out as soon as selections Of regi-
ments can be made. There has been quite
q demand for the return of volunteers from
Manila, but no troops will be brought from
the Philippines unless they are replaced by
others. Many Of the volunteer regiments in
Manila have asked through the governors
and congressman OF their states to be re-
turned to the United States, but the War
department has not been able to make any
definite promises pending the peace negotia-
tions.
With the acceptance Of Americas terms
by the Spanish commissioners any further
possibilities Of renewal of hostilities with
Spain are at an end and the only necessity
now for troops is to garrison the islands
and preserve the peace Of our new possess
sions. 1t is probable that the 5000 or
1000 men mustered out will include a large
number organized for service in Cuba and
the force at Manila will be reduced whenever
General Otis reports affairs in a quiet state
in the Philippines.

District Court Resumes,

District court was reconvened yesterday
after the adjournment over the
Thanksgiving holidays, but it was past 4
o'clock before Judge Green appeared In

necessitated him taking the Milwaukee.
After disposing Of a few minor motions and
probate matters Judge Green resumed the

resisting the suit, was married about a year
ago to Shaffer, the day after he had been
found guilty in the district court on the

ing witness. Shaffer alleges cruel treatment
a. the basis Of his application for a divorce.

Blame for Accident Fixed.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 2S.-The Navy de-
partment today mode public the report Of
the court OF inquiry Of which Commander
MCGOWAN was president, appointed to Inves-
tigate and determine the responsibility for
the breakdown Of the machinery OF the
cruiser Buffalo when only a few days out
from New York on Its way to join Dewey's
fleet in the Philippines. .
The report found that the accidents were
due to neglect and incompetency on the
part Of the engineers OF the ship and re-
commended that Chief Engineer Frederick
c.. Brig be reprimanded and that Assistant
Engineers Frederick G.. Simmonds, William
H. Mackay and Thomas Rodger, who have
only temporary appointments, be discharged
from the service. Assistant Secretary Allen
modified the findings so far as to retain the
three assistants in the service and trans
ferred them to other duty.

COMMISSION CONSIDERS CANAL.
Waterway from Lakes to Ocean May
He b

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2s.-An effort win
be made by persons interested in lake trans
portation to have the Anglo-American COM
mission take up the project for a canal join
ing the great lakes and the Atlantic. This
project has been favorably reported upon
by a deep waterway commission, authorized
by congress and appointed by the president.
While this established the practicability Of
the canal, the present movement contem-
plates the devising by the Anglo-American
commission Of a plan Of action by which
work win be actually begun.
The proposed route would be by way Of the
st. Lawrence river and Lake Champlain, a
cut of twenty-nine miles being sufficient, 1t
is said, for that link in the canal. Another
cut Of twenty-four miles would carry the
canal to the Hudson river. thus connecting
the shipping OF Chicago and New York by
way of the lakes, Welland canal, st. Law
renee river. Lake Champaign and Hudson
river. The projectors Of this movement say
the cut from the st. Lawrence to Lake
Champlain can be made for 100000 900 or
s4,0 900, 900. They are proceeding on the idea
of having the two governments do the work,
each doing the construction on its own side,
thus making it a government rather than a
private enterprise.

RACE FOR The BISAOPRIC
Episcopal Diocese Of Iowa Concerned
Regarding Official Head.
CHURCH DIVIDED IN SPIRITED coNTEs'
Four Candidates Are Before COnven-
ton and Charges and COunte
Charges Pass Between
the

CEDAR RAPIDS, Ia, Nov. 2S-(Special.)
Many OF the delegates to the annual con-
vention Of the Episcopal diocese Of Iowa,
which will be held In Grace church tomor-
row, have already arrived in the city. The
situation Is being canvassed very carefully
by the two factions, each clement ndeavor-
ing to %solidify Its following before the open
ing OF the convention. The interest is in
tense.
1t is now evident that the names OF four
men high in the church will be
presented in the convention for the
bishopric. They are: Rev. DR.. Thomas e.
Green. rector Of Grace Episcopal church of
Cedar Rapids, who was elected to the po-
sltion at the special convention held In
Davenport in September, but who refused
to accept the nomination until the charges
and insinuations had either been proven
true or false; Rev. DR.. Theodore N. Morri-
son OF Chicago, Rev. DR.. George H. Cor
nell, dean OF the Sioux City convocation
and rector OF st. Thomas Episcopal church,
and Rev. DR.. r. G. McIlwain, rector of the
Episcopal church at Keokuk. 1t is be-
lieved, however, that the selection lies be-
tween Dr.. Green and DR.. Morrison and
that the others will have only a local fol-
lowing, who will go either to DR.. Green or
DR.. Morrison after the first few ballots.
Who will be chosen to the bishopric Is
problematical. The fight has been a bitter
and stubborn one. The enemies of DR..
Green have been most persistent in their
efforts to secure his defeat. They have
made no open charges against DR.. Green
promising, however, that II necessary they
would make the charges on the floor Of the
convention. The friends Of DR.. Green state
that they will be able to effectually refute
every charge that will be made.
DIES MONIES, Nov. 2S.-(special Tele-
gram .)-Rev. ]. Everest Cathell, rector Of
st. Paul's, and George F. Henry, the lead
ers in the contest against DR.. T. E. Green
Of Cedar Rapids for bishop Of Iowa, left
today, accompanied by Simon Cassidy, also
a delegate, for Cedar Rapids, where the
convention that is to settle the bishopric
will convene. This Is the contest into
which 1t is claimed that political methods
have been instilled and the whole Episcopal
church Of Iowa has taken sides in the mat
ter. All the principal parishes OF the
state are organized against the confirma-
ton Of pr. Green and there will be a spir-
tied time on the floor Of the convention.
The remainder OF the Des Moines delegation
leaves tonight, prepared to make a hot fight

TAX SALE COMING ON
County Treasurer Arnd Getting Ready fol
His Great Land Auction.
LIST IS NOT VERY LONG THIS YEAR
Mostly Made Up of Lots in the "Bot-
toms' Where Nobody Pretends to
Pay Taxes or hid in Property
Onered by the Treasures.

County Treasurer Arnd and his ONCE force
are busy getting ready for the annual tax
sale which opens next Monday morning at
10 o'clock. at which time all the property
upon which the taxes are delinquent and
unpaid will be offered at public sale. The
list Of delinquent taxes this year Is con-
siderably smaller than 1t has been for years
past and the sale promises to be completed
In q day. AS Is usually the case the bulk
Of the delinquent property Is in the city.
This Is due to the fact that during the
boom days OF Council Bluffs large tracts
Of land were plated as additions and placed
on the market as residence property. The
lots found purchasers In many instances, but
In most cases have never been improved,
as the supply of houses was equal to the
demand and the bottom OF the boom soon
fell out, leaving the purchaser OF this pnr-
ticular kind of property to hold the sack.
Today much Of this property Is not consid-
cred value for the taxes on 1t and the own
ers are glad to let go Of their bargains"
and have them offered at the annual tax
sale. Some times a purchaser Is found
willing to buy this class OF property. but
as a rule 1t remains unsold from year to
year while the taxes on 1t keep climbing
up. This is particularly true of the prop
erty situated in what is known as "the bot
TOMS" and where blocks have been fenced
In and are now used for grazing dairy
herds and growing corn and potatoes.
During the last year taxes have been
paid better than for several years, both in
the city and the country. The farmers,
especially this year, have cleared up their
taxes and the list of country property thls
year Is consequently much smaller than
usual. In several OF the townships there
are less than a dozen pieces OF property ad-
vertised for sale, which is taken as a most
satisfactory sign Of prosperity In the farm
Ing community OF the county. In the town
ships OF Keg Creek and Pleasant, there
Is not a single acre Of land on which the
taxes have not been paid and consequently
neither Of these townships appear in the
advertised list.
During the last month since the delin-
quent list was published the county treas
urer's office has been kept busy receiving
taxes and by the day of the sale the list
Will be much diminished. This year fully
20 per cent Of the delinquents, Treasurer
Arnd says, have paid their taxes after the
list was published. Every year 1t is the
same In q more or less degree, as there
are a large number Of property owners who
never think Of paying their taxes until
they see their holdings advertised for sale
in the delinquent tax list.
Buying tax titles in this county az q rule
has proven profitable, and the choice pieces
OF property are eagerly snapped up. The
competition Is usually very keen and this
year Treasurer Arnd expects there will be
at least thirty buyers on the ground when
he puts up the first piece for sale next
Monday morning.

DispOses of Sixty Thousand Dollars
Worth of Municipal Securities.
DIES MONIES, Nov. 2S.-(Special Tele-
gram.)-The city today sold $780, 900 In
bonds to take up outstanding warrants, the
successful bidders being the w. j. Hays
Bond company OF Cleveland and their bid
being 3M per cent IN with a premium of
$3.50. There weres fifteen bidders and
eighty-seven bids. The defeated bidders
say that this is the best bid that has ever
been made for such bonds. J
In the equity division Of the district
court Judge Stevenson rendered an opinion
in the suit Of the City OF Des Moines
against Polk County. which will be Of
great interest throughout the state. The
question in issue was that OF the right of
the county to charge the city for the col
lection of special assessments, the three
fourths Of 1 per cent commission allowed
and provided by law for the collection OF
taxes for the cities by the county treas
urer. TIL point raised by the city in
the case is that 1t does not act as prin-
cipal in the matter Of special assessments,
but only as agent for the property owners,
who had contracted for improvements and
had empowered the city to perform the
work for them and collect the cost. The
county maintained the theory that a spe-
cial assessment does not differ from any
other tax In the matter Of collection, but
the court thought it did and rendered a
decision for the plaintiff accordingly. The
decision will form a precedent for other
counties.
An objection. which II sustained by Judge
Woolson will mean defeat to the govern
ment in the cases against Sidmc: Nellie,
William A.. McHie and J. F. Southland, Chi
cago bucket shop OPERATOR, was made by
Mr.. Cummins for the defense Monday. The
principal evidence submitted by the prose-
cution was the circulars and kilograms sent
out by the Central Grain and Stock ex-
change. run by the defendants. This doc
umentary evidence was introduced to show
that the bucket shop men advertised them
selves as commission agents and other evil
dence has been introduced to show that
they acted with orders as dealers, not as
agents, the argument then being that they
used the mails for advertising a fraud.
Cummins began the argument on the objec-
ton this afternoon and will complete it
tomorrow morning. Among other points he
maintains that the letters which the de-
Tense wishes to introduce do not relate to
any fraudulent scheme and do not advertise
the Central Grain and Stock exchange as
commission merchants. G. w. White OF
Fairfield was the only witness today. He
testified that he had received circulars from

KeOkuk Company Asks Franchise for
Gas, Electricity and steam.
At the meeting Of the city council last
night X. ID. Craig, the representative of the
j. c. Hubinger company of Keokuk, sub
mitted three ordinances embodying fran
chises for gas, electric light and steam heat
Ing plants, accompanied with a request that
the mayor call a special election for the
purpose OF having the voters of Council
Bluffs pass on the franchises at as early a
date as consistent, the expenses OF which
are to be borne by the company seeking the
franchises. The three ordinances were read
and were then. on motion Of Alderman
Christensen, referred to the committee of
the whole and City Attorney Wadsworth.
The request that a special election be called
is in accordance with the new code that
went into effect October, 1897, which pro-
vides that no city can grant a franchise
without first submitting the question to the
voters Of the city.
The three franchises asked for are to run
for twenty-five years and the three ordi-
nances embodying them are in the main es-
sential features alike. They each provide
that the ordinance, after being passed, must
be accepted within sixty days and construc-
ton commenced within ninety days. The
ordinance embodying the gas plant fran
chise sets out the price which the company
shall be empowered to charge for gas to the
citizens Of Council Bluffs. These prices are
as follows: From 1000 to 1000 feet per
month, $1,35 per 1000; for 1000 feet per
month. SIPS per 1000; over 1000 feet, s1.15
per 1000. Both ordinances for the gas and
steam heating plants provide that one mile
Of mains must be laid by January /. 1900.
The ordinance for the electric light plant
franchise provides that a certain amount Of
the construction must be finished in two
years and that the entire plant must be
completed and in working order in three
years. The ordinances were referred to the
committee Of the whole without discussion.
The bids for the paving with asphaltum
Of Fourth street and OF Harrison street,

Engineer Etnyre for tabulation. On the

The bids on the asphalt paving were based
on five. seven and ten-year and the brick

Of the Barber Asphalt company for the
asphaltum paving on the fve-year guaranty
ranged from $2.o5 to $3.50; on the seven
