Mr.. MCKINLEY believes that govern.
meut depends upon the consent of the
governed, in San Domingo, if not in
the Philippines. He has directed Gen
eral Wood, who, like many other peo-
pie, doesn't entertain any such idea, to
release General %Jimenez, whom the
people OF San Domingo have selected
for their President, 10 place of the one
they recently assassinated, aud allow
him to proceed on his way to his own
country, to the government of which
the people thereof have called him.
General Wood had arrested and con.
fined him for attempting to sail from
Cuba. But circumstances alter cases.

,Jaeuar Loose in New Orleans.

New Orleans, Sept. 1.-Great excite
ment was created among the negroes
in the rear Of the city by the escape
yesterday of q jaguar from the ZooIogi
cal Garden at Athletic Park. The All
NAL is large AMI ugly. The no 1nted
police made q thorough search OF the
neighborhood, and while they found
some traces of the animal did not come
up with it. 1t is supposed to be in a
clump of brush. The negroes are keep
ing to their houses.

MRS.

Mrs. Laugtry's appearance at the
Haymarket Theatre, London, yester-
day evening in Sydney Grundy's new
comedy, 1.-The Degenerates;" was a de-
cided success. She daringly portrayed
what are generally understood to be
scenes taken from her own life.
The realism of the initial act is so in.
tense, bringing in, as it does, ali the
scandals associated with her name,
that the unanimous comment at the
close of the performance was, sit is
good, but she is awfully brave to do it"
Mrs. Langtry acted better than ever
before, seemingly to throw herself
thoroughly into the spirit of the COM
edy, which bristles with epigrams, but
is occasionally vulgar.
Hugo Gerald de Battle, her husband,
looked on from q box with the Duke of
Sake oburg and Goths, and Prince
Louis of %Battenburg. The Duchess Of
Marlborough, macy other titled per
sons and a large number of well-known
Americans, including Nat Goodwin,
we're in the audience.
The Prince of Wales telegraphed
from Marienbad:
my best wishes for a brilliant sue.
cess. Booked for a fortnight from to-
day.
[Signed. ALBERT"
Charles Hawtrey, Miss Lily Hamburg
and Miss Lily Grundy, were the pick
of the cast, the last named lady being
the dramatist's daughter, who made
her first stage appearance last night.
Mr.. Grundy's clever dialogue met
with the usual appreciation. 1t is
probable that ''The ~Degenerates' will
be taken to the United States in the
course of q few months.

"GREEDY DOGS" SAYS EMPRESS

GREEDY DOGS" SAYS EMPRESS
Mail and advices from the Orient
contain a translation of the letter re-
Gently sent by the Empress Dowager of
China to the Emperor of Japan Cd the
proposed alliance between the two
countries.
The letter thanked the Empress's
"good cousin" for his good wishes.
The writer was in great difficulties.
European powers were pressing for q
portion of The Empire. England,
France, Germany and, last of ell, Italy,
had presented demands, and the En-
press did not know what to do to salts
fly ''those greedy dogs"
England, wrote the Empress, was
the worst of sll, for that country had
not disguised its longings for the
Yang-tse Kiang valley and had EVIL
IDENTIFY set On Italy to claim Fubkien.
But England has done more. Il has
attempted to Illustrate the Empress's
relations with Russia, Openly protest
ing against her advancing her eyes in
North China" Such indignities are
insuferable, and the Empress had,
therefore, addressed herself to her
good friend. the Emperor of Japan, for
succor in her distress.
Promises of subsidies, OF appointing
Japanese to command the fleet and
armies, of freedom of trade to Japanese
ships aud merchants accompanied this
epistle, and finally Japan was invited
to enter into an alliance, offensive and
defensive, to get rid Of these dangerous
enemies.
A dispatch from Pekin says: Owing
to the spirit of opposition and evasion
shown by the Chinese Foreign Office in
the negotiations now progressing be-
tween China and Italy the Italian
squadron in Chinese waters will be re

At the monthly meeting of the Board OF
Trustees of the public library the expected
decrease in the assessed valuation of the
city formed an interesting subject for dis
cussion. The decreased valuation means a
material reduction in the income OF the
library, which under the old valuation is
none too large, and it is doubtful II the in
come will be sufficient to meet the running
expenses of the institution.
At present the income of the library is
about $4,000 a year, being raised by a /
mill levy, which is the limit allowed by
the law. If the assessed valuation is re-
duced to $4,000, 900, which at present appears
to be the prospect. the income OF the Ii
brary will be cut down at least $1,000. The
running expenses Of the library at present
exceed $4,000 a year without taking into
consideration the necessity OF buying new
books from time to time. The report OF the
finance committee showed that the balance

There is a report in railroad circles here
that in addition to the headquarters of the
superintendent being transferred from

by the society.
The Des Moines Auditorium association to-
day decided to add "a complete stage and
opera house equipment to the new audito-
rum. AS 1t will seat 200 1t will be one of
the largest opera houses in the west. This
will make five theaters in Des Moines, and
1t is said that the theatrical trust contem-

H. w. Wheeler, the Chicago travelling
man who fell down an elevator shaft at the
H. S. Chase grocery house here last night,
is not expected to live until morning. His
skull was fractured.
An afternoon paper today sent out the
report that the Fifty-first Iowa was fighting
at Manila. This is untrue. Governor Shaw
has cabled to Colonel Lopez, in command,
asking for an immediate reply, stating the
exact location of the regiment, condition of
men, etc. The Iowa men have not yet been
in the fighting line.
The executive council is busily engaged
this week listing the railroads ana preparing
to make the annual assessment of roads.
Some of them are being heard each day, but
as yet no sensations have come up.

Jury AcIuits on the Charge of Conn
pIicity In "a Robbery.

Jury AcIuits on the Chnrgc of COM
pIicity in a Robbery.
The trial in the district court Of Frank
FTyson, the negro charged with completely
in the robbery of John Hamilton, a white
man, last November in the Cooms over
Saltzman's secondhand store on Broadway
resulted yesterday in the jury bringing in
a verdict of not guilty.
John Wyatt, who was arrested with r.
+. Tracy and John Lawrence, the two men
sentenced to two years in the penitentiary
for robbing E.. NJ. Lorenz's hencoops and
breaking into the school house in Lewis
township, was placed on trial. Wyatt de-
manded a separate trial and his defense is
that he was not with Tracy and Lawrence
the night of the robbery and did not meet
them until the next morning in this city,
and went over with them to Omaha, when
they were all placed under arrest.
Mrs. May C. Stevens filed a petition for
divorce from Willard F. Stevens, whom she
married in Harrison county, August 8, 1884.
She alleges that her husband illtreated her
and finally deserted her in July, 1896. She
asks for the custody of the two boys, aged
Is and 6 years respectively.
Morris Cohen commenced suit against the
Erie Fire Insurance company of Buffalo, N.
Y, for $3.50 and interest. Cohen conducted
a lodging house in an old two-story frame
building at 624 Broadway, which was de-
stroyed by fire on the night of December IA
last. His furniture was insured with the
defendant company for the amount for
which he now sues. Owing to certain sus-
picious circumstances connected with the
fire the company has refused to pay the in
surance.
Charles Turnbloom, who says he con-
Quoted a saloon in Council Bluffs during
1898, has brought suit against the Omaha
Brewing association to recover $725. 80. The
suit is out of the ordinary, as the plain
tiff sets up that during the time he was in
the saloon business he purchased from the
defendant beer to the amount of the sum
for which he now sues. He further alleges
that it was intoxicating liquor and the sale
to him by the defendant company OF such
liquor was contrary to the laws of Iowa.
