Dies MONIES, Nov. Am extension
of the Valley junction electric railway
line to Commerce, thence to Winterset
and thence to Greenfield is probable
ity for next year. Surveyor Frank
Pelton has been secured by the street
railway company to survey the pro-
posed route and will begin work at
once. Officers of the company have
already driven over the route. 1t MIR.
pelton's preliminary survey is salts
factory and other arrangements can oe
completed, work on the line will begin
next spring and it is hoped to have 1t
in operation by the end OF the season.
But this line is but a starter for what
the company contemplates in the way
of rural electric lines if the present
scheme is perfected and proves to be a
success. The company has been build
ing all its Des Moines lines with view
to some day extending them into the
country, and it is thought that the
time is about ripe. Speaking OF the
proposed road Manager Hippee said:
Eyes it is true that we are contem'
plating an extension of the Valley
junction line to Greenfield, by way OF
Commerce and Winterset. That was
our intention when we went to Valley
Junction, and in fact we have built al
the city lines with the intention, ultl-
mately, of extending them into the
territory surrounding Des Moines 1t
has been demonstrated In the east par
ticularly in Ohio, where | am familiar
with the electric system, that SUCH
lines are found to be paying invest
ments. Mr.. Polk is decidedly in favor
of extension and has been talking it to
me for five years. haven't driven
over the proposed route, although
some of the other officers have. l be-
lieve the intention is to cross the Coon
river a little this side of Commerce
The road will then run in direct line
to Winterset, and from Winterset
straight west to Greenfield. This will
open up q country which never has
marketed it's products in Des Moines
because there is no good way to get
here. ! believe we could do very
good business, not only in freight, but
also in passenger traffic, on system
of this kind. OF course we would
carry mail and express to whatever
points we could make quicker than the
railroads."

Spain Owns None of the Philippines

Spain Owns None of the Philippines.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.-The positive
statement is made here by authority
that Spain does not retain possession
of single island of the Philippine
archipelago. This was called forth by
the declaration in the Spanish cortez
of Count D'Almenas that, through ig-
norance, the American commissioners
allowed three islands at the northern
extremity of the archipelago to remain
under Spanish control, through their
definition in the treaty Of the bound
airy of the group. There is stated to
be no doubt as to the sufficiency of the
treaty clause ceding the entire archi-
pelago. If there has been failure on
this point, that fact will not rebound
to SPANS benefit, for it has been held
officially that the islands north of the
Philippine archipelago belong to Japan.

companies got another blow from the
supreme court yesterday. This time
it is the foreign companies. The court
holds tkat the az per cent tax against
gross receipts imposed upon them by
section 1888 OF the new code is on their
Business and not against their proper
Nv, and therefore not in contravention
CT the constitutional provision that the
property of corporations shall be taxed
the same as that of individuals 1t is
this constitutional provision upon
which the supreme court knocked out
that clause of section 1888 which pro-
vides that the per cent tax against
the gross receipts of home insurance
companies shall stand in lieu OF all
others. The case was brought by the
Scottish Union and National Insurance
Company, of Edinburgh and London,
to recover taxes paid under protest.
The case was decided against the insur-
ance company by Judge Holmes, and
the company appealed.

Wreck on the Great Western near Sum-
OEI,wE1N, Nov. 1.-The C. G. w. had a
disastrous rear-end collision between
Fredericksburg and Sumner, caused
by the heavy fog. An eastbound
freight train was being run in two
sections. The first section stalled on
d heavy grade and the second section,
following close behind, crashed into
the rear end before there was time to
get hagman out, or even time for tho
trainmen to get out of the caboose. A
stockman by the name of Robinson, OF
Reinbeck, was caught in the wreck,
having one leg severed at the thigh.
He was SO badly injured that he died
in the afternoon. One of the brake
men of the forward train was also
quite badly, but not severely hurt.
The engineer, fireman and one brake
man of the rear train were also injured.
The rear engine left the track and
turned over into the ditch, while the
caboose and four freight ears OF the
forward train were reduced to kind

# WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.-The Philip
pine commission yesterday submitted
to the president preliminary report.
The report appears to be q compact
summary Of conditions on the ISLANDS
as the commission left them; OF the
historical events which preceded the
Spanish war and led to the original
Filipino insurrection; of the exchange
between Admiral Dewey and the other
American commanders and the jusur-
gents; the breaking out and progress
of the present insurrection, and finally
a statement of the capacity OF the FIJI
pinos for self-government. A notable
feature of the report is memorandum
by Admiral Dewey explanatory OF his
relations with Aguinaldo, in which the
statement is made by the admiral that
he had no alliance with Aguinaldo.
The report fully endorses the war;
holds that the people of the islands are
incapable of governing themselves
and concludes as follows:
"Our control means to the inhabi-
tants of the Philippines internal peace
and order, a guarantee against foreign
aggression, and against the disnem,
berment of their country; commercial
and industrial prosperity, and as large
a share of the affairs of government as
they shall prove fit to take. When
peace and prosperity shall have been
established throughout the archipela-
90, when education shall have become
general, then, in the language OF a
leading Filipino, his people will, under
our guidance, become more American
than the Americans themselves

MUST RESPECT TRADE RIGHTS.

United States Serves Notice ON Russia,
Germany and France Regarding China.
WARRINGTON, Oct. 31.-The United
States has demanded from the govern
ments of Russia, Germany and France
assurances that in their division OF
China into zones of political domin-
alton or spheres of influence the trade
rights of citizens of this country shall
be fully respected. These demands
are pretty sure to be acceded to, and as
soon as correspondence is passed
between Washington and the three
European capitals it is not doubted
that the desired assurances will be
given BY the governments named. In
fact, a tacit understanding to this
effect already exists, and little remains
to be done but to decide upon the form
in which the assurances shall be given.
There was some little surprise in dipio-
matte circles when the demands of this
government were presented through
the embassies here, but no sign OF ex-
IRENE displeasure or of intention to
resist was manifested in any quarter.
This move for making sure of our trade
status in China, for assuring ourselves
that all our treaty rights would be re-
spected under the proposed rearrange-
ment of actual authority along the
coast of China, was entered upon by
the administration in no light or
casual manner, but only after full dis
cussion and careful consideration OF all
the possibilities. Now that there is
practically certainty of a successful
issue, it is felt that great stroke has
been made for American trade and in
