HAWKEYES CALLED IN.
Last Volunteer Regiment Pre-
pairing to Leave Philippines.

Manila, Sept. $3.50 p. m.-The Iowa
regiment, the last of the volunteer Or
ganizations on duty in the island of
Luzon, has been withdrawn from
Calula to barracks at Calucan prepara-
tory to departing for home. The num-
Der who will sail is sos. Less than 300
of the regiment were left on duty at the
front when the order came for the re-
lief, 4O6 being on the sick list. This
regiment has undergone hard outpost
duty for three months, during which it
has been very much exposed to the
rains; 75 members of the regiment
have re-enlfsted. Although the Iowans
participated in some of the fighting be-
tween MaloIos and San Fernando, not
one of them was killed in battle. Thir-
ty-nine members of the regiment, how
ever. were wounded and nine died of
disease.
The insurgents continue to make
demonstrations in the vicinity of linus.

ROUSELL MUST GO.
Effort to Save Lawrence Man From
Penitentiary UnavaiIing.

Edwin Rousel1. who was convicted
several months ago of misuse of the
mails and was sentenced in the federal
prison at LeaVenworth by Judge Foster
came before Judge Hook in the federal
court Tuesday afternoon and asked
that his punishment be changed to a
fine.
The crime of which Rousell was con-
victed was attempting to carry out an
intricate scheme for securing fraudu-
lent insurance while he was secretary
of the Fraternal aid society. It was
claimed that he caused q policy to be
issued to a man who never existed and
then had proofs made that the man was
killed in runaway in some obscure
Colorado town. To do all this it was
necessary for him to use the mails and
in this way the government got hold of
him. The charges threatened to break
up the order for a time, as Rousell had
enough friends in the grand lodge to
keep him in the secretaryship even
after the charges were made.
Since his conviction he has been out
on bond pending the action of the Unit
ed States court of appeals on his case.
That tribunal has refused to act on the
case because it was not appealed soon
enough, and mandate has been sent
down to the district court of Kansas to
carry out Judge Fosters sentence.
A number of prominent citizens of
Lawrence appeared in Rousel's behalf,
among them z. F. Caldwell, postmas-
ter; z. z. McHale an attorney, George
Bailey, the agent of the Santa Fe at
Lawrence, and R. w Ludington, faith
er-in-law of the late Judge Foster.
They told Judge Hook that Rousell's s
family needed his support and there
were enough people in Lawrence who
believed him innocent to raise the funds
to pay his fine if the penalty were
changed.
Judge Hook, however, could not see
how that would be any punishment for
RouselI and he refused to interfere with
Judge Fosters sentence, and Rousell
viii have to go to the federal prison.
The next move of his friends will be
to secure a pardon from President Nc
Kinley for him.

Santo Domingo, Sept. 6.-The pro-

today met with a splendid reception.

landed here, having come from Cuba
touching Cape Haytien on the way. He
was received at the water side by an
immense thrOng. His reception arrang-
ed by General Ramon Imbert was en-
thusiastic. The news of Jiminez's arri-
val las been sent nto the interior AID 1t
is believed that settled order and peace
will soon be restored.
General Jiminez was accompanied by
fifty armed revolutionists who were
taken on board the Georges Croise at
Cape aaytien- The populace hailed him
as the cOuntry'S deliverer.
A delegation of a hundred officials
and prominent merchants headed by
the governor of the city went on board
the steamer to greet him, returning af-
ter an absence of nine years. The en-
tire population was at the wharf and
escorted his carriage to headquarters,
where a reception was held, thousands
waiting for hours in the intense heat
to assure him of their support.
There was a popular demonstration,
with a procession of soldiers and citi-
zens and speeches of welcome. Puerto
Plata and Santiago are Jiminez's stron g
holds. There is some uncertainty re-
garding political conditions in the
southern districts, and there are ru-
mors of other asDirants planning to
defeat General Jiminez in that quarter.
The local press says;
The coming of General Jiminez COM

no revolution. 1t is safe to expect an

Sentiments like these are uttered on
all sides and there is no discordant note.

Washington, Sept. 6-The matter of
making an effective blockade in the Phil
ippll.es, and especially around the island
OF Lllzon, so as to prevent the insurgents
from obtaining ammunition and supplies
is one that is giving the army consid-
erable concern. It has not been deemed
feasible to proclaim a blockade as it
would indicate a state of war and pos
sibIy open way to the recognition of the
Insurgents.
Whether or not it is feasible to attack,
subdue and garrison all the ports of Lu-

An American Girls Palace.

TFrom the Woman's Home Companion
Parisians had heard of the late Jay
Gould and his high-piled millions OF
money, but for the past two years they
have been receiving a special object
lesson on the power of wealth in new
world hands, in the effort of his daugh-
ter the Countess de Castellane, to re-
produce in Paris the palace of the
Grand Trianon, as built by the French
kings at Versailles more than two cen
turies ago. Three-quarters of an acre
of land was bought at the intersection
of the Avenue du Bois de Boulogue
and the Avenue MalakOff, at an ex-
pense of close to a million dollars. this
being the most costly residential site
in Paris.
Public interest has been made keen
by the announcement that while the
exterior would hold true to the four
teenth century, the interior was TO be
blending Of the fourteenth and fifteenth
periods, if the Gould millions and the
cunning of the French architects could
compass this unique desire. The re-
YiVal of two historic periods in French
architectural history was so remark
able an undertaking that, from its be-
ginning, the progress of this house has
been followed with such a wide inter
est as has been given to few purely pri-
vate building projects. In May the
family was occupying the central pOr-
tion, but the interior decoration of the
two wings probably can not be COM
pleted in less than two years more
When it became known such a maison
was to be attempted. many of the
French said it would take twenty
years to build and furnish with art
treasures. but western enterprise and
local ingenuity promise its completion
in a fifth of the time. The. property
will then have cost 10000, oO0 francs. or

and taxpayers in favor of the plan as
submitted to the voters at the election
last April and which will again be sub
mitted on Saturday next. Their only
hope lies in the fact that the law under
which this matter is again being sub
Tnitted requires a tWo-thiFdS majority
to carry. A palmer case of an attempt
on the part of a minority to thwart the
will of the majority could hardly be
conceived.

city building and purchased site for
the new city hall without consulting the
people, in the face of the fact that the
people at the regular election last April
Instructed the council to do just exact

thirds majority, the First ward being
the only one that gave a majority
against it and their majority comprised
