progress, and the more advanced fields

IS. CONTEST OVER CHILDREN.
Mother Wants Her Children That Were
Sent to the Home

Des Moines. July 25.--There is going
to be a contest over the possession of
the persons of the two children of
Mrs. Bertha Gohr, of Fairfield, who
We're sent to the Iowa Childrens' Home
some time ago. They were sent to the
home by an order from the court of
Jefferson county. Good homes have
been secured for them by the officials
of the home and they are now COM
fortably located with kindly people.
The mother made application to Judge
Holmes short time ago for writ of
habeas corpus to secure the possession
of the children who she claimed had
been taken away without consideration
for herself. They were sent to Des
MONIES a little over month ago. The
mother claims that they were forcibly
taken away from her and that she
had not been treated with justice. She
wants heG:two infant children beck
and she claims that She is amply able
TO provide for them She has had
great trouble during the past couple
OF years, her husband having deserted
her and her home having been burned
down.
The officials of the home%are not go-
ing to give the children up without a
struggle. They state that the chill
dren were sent to their care by an or
der from the courts of Jefferson coun-
ty, and after a proper investigation of
the case. In regard to the matter, Sur
perintendent Burnette said yesterday
morning;
he children have been put out in
to good homes and we will not give
them up again unless it is necessary.
The case was carefully investigated in
Jefferson county and do not believe
that the courts of one county will
override what. was done, in another
county, but if we are in for a lawsuit,
we shall haze to, have. it,.
An. order was issued Saturday in
court for the production of the chill
dren ana for hearing to be held
within short time.

which would have been abolished if the
treaty had not been concluded. The
most important of these articles are
petroleum and mineral oils. AT pres
ent these oils enter France on the min
imum rate, but had yesterdays treaty
failed aerate would have been imposed
making difference of duty amounting
to about S., 100000. u
The same isfrue as to cotton, which
is one of the chief articles of ship-
ment from the United States to France
and enters duty free. Had the treaty
failed a heavy duty would have been
imposed upon American cotton. The
same is true of copper, rubber and
many classes Of machinery.
France secures important conces-
sions on over one hundred of the chief
products sent by France to this coun>
try. The Dingley law allows not to
exceed 20 per cent reduction as a basis
of reciprocity. but the full 90 per cent
is not allowed on all the articles COW
cred by the treaty. On some of them
the reduction is per cent, on others
10. others IS. and up to 20 per cent.
The list would have been larger and.
the percentage of reduction greater in
some cases had it not been forsthe re-
luctance of Commissioner Kasson to
permit exceptions from the French
minimum list. This was the main
cause leading to the omission of cham
payne from the list of Important
French products included in the treaty.
While quite DESTROYS of securing re-
duction of duty on this class of wines,
the French authorities were not ready
to grant the large number of reduce
tions asked as an Offset for the pro-
posed reduction on this particular ar
ticle. AS a result the regular. rates
will be maintained on sparkling wines
coming to this country.
The treaty will resultsin placing the
products of the United States on the
same basis in France as products of
Great Britain and Germany. At pres
emf these countries have the minimum
French rate, while the American goods
with few exceptions have had to pay
the maximum rate.
The French treatyis the last Of the
instruments of this kind, and the
treaty work under the Dingley act is
now brought to a close. Six treaties
have been made. all save that with
France relating to British West India
Islands.

 granting extra pay. and is, therefore,
 entitled to such extra pay on dis charge. He also invites attention to the order of the navy department of March 3, 1898, directing enlistments for the Co1umtia and Minneapolis, and claims that as the quota of the navy allowed by law was then com plete subsequent enlistments should be regarded as enlistments for the temporary force. The attorney is in error in supposing that the enlisted force of the navy exceeded the mum Der allowed by law at the time the claimant enlisted. Whatever class Of men are to be regarded as belonging to the temporary force of the navy for purposes of extra pay, am clearly or the opinion that those who enlisted in the regular navy for three years for general service prior to the de- claration of war, do not constitute . part Of the temporary force entitled to extra pay under the act Of March 3. 1S99"

A NORTH RIVER MYSTERY
Two Men Drowned Who MuchRe-
 s5mbled Each Other.

New York, May 16.-The body of an unidentified man about 35 years old, , feet 6 inches tall, with dark hair. was found in the North river opposite Fort Lee this afternoon. The man wore a rsd and white sweater, black bicycle trousers and tan shoes. There was $27 in bills in his pocket, but no papers indicating his identity
 Coroner Tracey immediately n'ciiced 9 very marked resemblance betweeD this dead man and another whose body was found opposite Alpine on Sunday. The body at Alpine was clad in a black bicycle suit, the stockings having yellow and green tops. The two bodies appeared to have been in the water for two or three days. The body found opposite Alpine is at Ten afiy. The ether is at Fort Lee.
