The Mckinley administration
is surely and rapidly getting this
great country back to its former
era of prosperity. There are no
more dlsgraceful bond sales. The
factories are running and people
have confidence. The soup
houses that, under the last Demo.
cratic administration, had been
maintained to keep human beings
from starving, are closed. The
people are finding employment
and the farmers are getting good
prices for their products. "All
the records in bank clearings in
the country at large are being
beaten these days. Up to a short
time ago 1925 mark was ahead
of us, but that years figures
have recently been left behind.
All departments of the country's
business are on the upward grade
and the movement in that direc
ton will apparently continue for
years.

for judge in this, the Fourteenth judi

of the libelous article. for the writing of
which j. j. Bruce was convicted, but
held that it was a privileged communi-
cation. Judge Quarton, after listening
to arguments for whole day. refused
to entertain evidence tending to prove
the motive of the defendant, and held
the law presumed malice.

Forty-Ninth Regiment Wishes to Do What
the Government Desires.
DEs MONIES, Sept. 13.-Governor l..
M. Shaw has arrived in Des Moines on
his return from trip to Washington.
He says the Fiftieth Iowa volunteers,
in camp at Jacksonville, will start home
today. When in Chicago the governor
made arrangements for special sleepers
to carry the sick of the regiment with
comfort.
In Washington the governor made ar.
rangements whereby the men of the
Fiftieth wishing to remain il service
can be transferred to the Forty-ninth,
the Fiftieth being one of the two Iowa
regiments ordered mustered out. An
other arrangement made was that the
companies of the Fiftieth will 20 dir
ectly to their home towns for muster
out instead of coming to Camp McKin-
ley. While the governor was in Wash
ington, where he went with the inten.
ton of urging that the Forty-ninth be
mustered out, Lieutenant Colonel Ham
of the regiment arrived in Washington.
He visited President Mckinley with the
governor. Colonel Ham stated that
while the men would have been glad to
come home, since the government has
ordered them to be retained, they were
satisfied and had no other wish than to
stay in the service.

be sent directly home instead of being

Efforts to Weaken the Market Meets with


Success-Wheat Il Trife Higher.
CHICAGO. Sept. l4-Liverpool failed to symps-
thize with the advance here yesterday quota
tions from there today showing Il decline of 3s
@s4d and the northwest receipts wore a good
deal ahead of last year, 9lS cars. Those were
the principal reasons for slight decline iii
wheat at the start. Minneapolis reported an
advance of lc a bushel for cash wheat in face of
the increased movement in that quarter. In
consequence of that traders who sold early
tried to get back their holdings. For time
shorts led the buying, as there was general
rush to cover. The advance was lost however
on profit taking. December started &c lower
at 62g621sc, declined to 6ls4, advanced to 621aGD
62ssc, then reacted to 62lsc.
Speculation was slow in corn and the market
ruled weak with wheat. December began un-
changed at 29s4(a297sc and declined to 29s6c.
Small contract stocks and light receipts were
the incentive for heavy demand for Septem-
ber oats.
Higher prices for hogs at the yards strength
ened provisions. Houses with continental con-
nections bought libeEally Of lard, and packers
took large lines of pork and ribs.

Knocks Mrs. Rathbun on the Head and
Cuts Her Daughters Throat.
BURLINGTON, Ia. Sept. IA. d.
Storms, charged with che murder Of
Mrs. Rathbun and daughter, made a
written confession of his crime on the
night of his arrest. 1t is now given out
for the first time, as follows: II, A. d.
Storms OF Des Moines county, Iowa, do
hereby confess that on the evening of
Jan. 23, 1898, came to the home of
Ms. Fannie Rathbun, on Dodge street,
Burlington, Ia, at about sundown. I
took her some flour and milk and found
her alone. After talking a short
time she went down cellar, taking a
lamp. followed her, and picking up
an axe lying on the cellar floor,
struck her with theIback of it on the
back of the head. She fell and never
moved, I heard the little girl, Mary
Rathbun, come into the room overhead
and coming up took hold of her in the
dining room and went with her out into
the kitchen. 1 got my knife out and in
the struggle with her cut her throat and
left her lying on the floor of the Kitchen.
I then left and went out of the front
door, leaving it ajar and left on the bob
sled. This confession is made freely
and voluntarily and without the hope of
any fee or reward being held out to me
Or any leniency."

Stop Mastering Out.

WASHINGTON, Sept 14.--The tremend-
GUS pressure is still being brought to
bear on the war department to have
more troops mustered out of the service.
Efforts in this direction, however, are
of no avail 1t is announced with much
emphasis that there will be no more
troops mustered out. The situation
does not admit of any further reduction
in the army and efforts are being made
to put those volunteers who are retained
in the service as near as possible to the
footing OF the regulars in the matter of
drill and discipline. An effort is being
made to eradicate the amateurish idea
of independence among the troops, and
to bring them down to the strictest dis.
cipline.
The purpose at the outset when the
muster out began was to muster out
100000 volunteers. A little over 96. 900
have already been mustered out and it
is announced positively that there will
be no more mustered out, no matter
what influence is brought to bear
The retention of the volunteers now
in the service and the efforts to improve
the morale of the army, has, in view of
the Philippine situation more than that
Of Cuba or Porto Rico, though there is
great deal of vagueness as to the
danger apprehended there.
Major General Shafter left last night
for Camp Wikoff, where he will re-
sumo command. He was accompanied

Jan-Chinese Alliance.

PEK1N, Sept. 1.-THE Marquis Ito,
recently premier of Japan, arrived at
Tien Tsin yesterday and is expected here
shortly. His visit is regarded as likely
to result in an offensive and defensive
alliance. The marquis, it isasserted, is
charged to examine into the possibility
OF China recovering her lost ground and
becoming useful ally. There is no
doubt that there has been a strong bias
lately among the leading Cinnamon to-
ward Japan, whose reforms the emperor
OF China has been attentively studying.

Gonzales Attacks ARMY.

MADRID, Sept. 14.-There was another
uproarious session Of the senate today.
Count Almenas, referring to his state
ment yesterday. giving the names Of the
generals he recently said ought to have
their sashes tied around their necks in
stead OF around their waists, naming
Weyler, Blanco and Primo de Rivera,
after which he also included Admiral
Cervera in the category, said General
Linares was incompetent and ought to
be arraigned. Thereupon General Wey-
Ter and others loudly protested against
these charges, and General Weyler
called on Count Almenas to name those
generals who were accused of failing to
do their duty, and, he added, if the ac-
cusatlons We're true and the culprits
could not be legally punished, the gen
erals would take the matter in their
own hands and inflict proper punish
ment. A great tumult ensued, the sen
ators standing, shouting and threaten
ing each other. The president of the
senate vainly strove to restore order.
and broke his bell in attempting to do so.
When the debate was resumed Senior
Gonzales attacked the army. He said
it had been worsted first by the insurg-
ents and then by the Americans.
The Duke of Tetuan, the former min
lister for foreign affairs, defended Senor
Canovas del Castillo, whereupon Senor
Gonzales made another attack upon the
deceased premier, declaring the latter
ho 10,
planned with Senor Sagasta to sign the
surrender.
Major General Merritt, it is said,
goes to Paris, empowered to ask in the
name Of the insurgents, an American
protectorate over the whole of the
Philippines.
