MUCH LIKE AN ULTIMATUM.
Cnited States Insists on mediate
Payment.

Payment.
CoNsTANTINoPLE, April 2s.-The
American note handed to the Tarkish
minister of foreign affairs, Tewfik
Pasha, on Tuesday, is couched in per-
emptory terms, demanding immediate
payment of the indemnity several
times promised to Minister Straus by
the sultan. The note does not fix a
time limit for an answer, but its tenor
is not far from the character of an ul-
timatum. 1t has produced a great inn
preston upon the porte, who, how
ever, shows no disposition to modify
the attitude hitherto maintained,
namely, repudiating the responsibility
and seeking to diminish the import
ance of the matter. 1t is presumed
that the porte's reply will be in this
sense, and hence it is feared the United
States government will be obliged to
take steps to enforce it's demands.
The porte's reply to the latest col
lective note on the subject of duties
has not been made, and the embassies
are exchanging views in regard to the
terms on which to consent to an in
crease of duty. 1t is thought that be-
fore the beginning of negotiations the
embassies will invite the porte to
abolish ransoms and measures intro
duced in violation of treaties.

DIES MONIES, April 26.-Two hundred
and fifty teams and 600 men are at
work grading the Rock Island extern
sion from Gowrie to Sibley. Work
trains are engaged in hauling gravel
from the pits at Grand Junction and
ballasting the roadbed as fast as it is
built, the expectation being that when
the line is completed it will be in con-
dition to accommodate traffic as heavy
as that on the main line OF the Fort
Dodge division. The gravel is being
spread twelve and fifteen inches in
depth, and the track laid with 75-pound
steel placed on oak ties.

Boston, Mass, April 30.-John Willis
Baer of Boston, the National Christian
Endeavor secretary, ruling elder in
the Presbyterian church and a dele
gate to the ecumenical missionary con-
ference, gave out this statement as to
his views on the subject of Presby-
lerian creed revision: From view
point of ten years work with young
people, ! favor new cresS, especially
because revision OF the old has been
unsuccessfully attempted within ten
years, and renewed agitation along the
same line will certainly provoke strife

MEETING WAS A FARCE.
Iowa Railroad Commissioners Return
From st. Louis.

DIES MONIES, April 3O.-The Iowa
board of railroad commissioners has
returned from its trip to st. Louis, and
the members pronounce the joint meet
ing of commissioners from Illinois,
Missouri and Iowa fasco. The
three boards met pursuant to request
at the Southern hotel in St. LOUIS, and
had been together not more than ten
minutes when the Illinois commits
sioners admitted that the meeting was
called at the instigation of certain
Illinois railroad interests, just as the
Iowa commission had been led to be-
lieve before the members took the trip
to St. Louis, 1t also developed that
the Missouri board knew no more
about the real inwardness of the call
than the Iowa board knew when it
accepted the invitation, and with a
rather Disguised feeling all around the
three commissions declared themselves
adjourned sine die.

FAR CRY TO PRETORIA NOW.
Lord Roberts Is Completely Chekmated
by BOtha,

LONDON, April 2S.-In Commandment
General Louis Botha the Beers appear
to have found capable successor to
Joubert. AS the result of bis insight
and quick decision, it may be assumed
now that the retreating commanders
have gotten safely away with the
transports. The position is that the
Beers began their raid a month ago
by compelling Colonel Broad wood to
retire on Bloemfontein and have now
gotten safely away to the northward,
practically without loss, but with the
advantage of seven British guns, to-
gether with hundred prisoners cap
tured Meanwhile the advance to
Pretoria has not begun. Small won
der is it that muffied complaints and
criticisms are beginning to be heard
here and there against Lord Roberts.
Two-thirds of his entire force have
been employed in effecting this snail
satisfaction and the probability is that
the whole force must be again concen-
trated on Bloemfontein before the
main advance begins. As similar raids
on the British communications are
likely 10 be repeated, it is evidently
still far cry ~ Pretoria.

WRIGHT FOUND GUILTY.
Muscatin Man Must Suffer for Murder
of Mrs. Mary Crippen.

MUsCATINE, April 27.-The jury in
the case of George Wright returned a
verdict of guilty of murder in the first
degree and fixed his sentence for life
in the penitentiary. This was Wright's
second trial. Last July Wright shot
and killed Mrs. Nellie Crippen, the
attractive young wife of a planning
mill foreman, with whom he had
maintained secret relations for some
time. The crime was committed upon
the eve of the departure of the woman
and her husband for new home in
another state, the fatal shot being
fired while the woman stood in the
doorway of her home in the presence
of her husband and seven witnesses.

Winnipeg, Man, April 30.-At the

eighteen cases of the disease of the

antine would not survive the week.
A meeting of all the doctors in the

Carew's division reported at Roodekop

It's advance was covered by cavalry

the enemy with heavy loss, their dead

fontein and at 1880 this morning were
crossing Modder river at Valsbank in
accordance with my instructions to

rival near Modder evidently, however,
alarmed the Beers, who evacuated
their strong position near DeWet's

cupied by Chermside's division this
morning. Mounted infantry drove the
enemy off the kopjes in the neighbor-

CaRstitutional Convention in Virginia

NEw YORK, April 3O.-A Times
special from Richmond, Va, says:
y. The question of calling n constitu-
tional convention in Virginia primar-
lily for the disfranchisement of negroes
has been practically settled so far as
the democrats are concerned. A ma
jority of the delegates to the demo-
cratic state convention, which meets
at Norfolk May 2, are instructed in
favor of making the call for conven-
ton party issue. This matter is
now the absorbing one in Virginia,
and the demand for Acknowledgement
of negroes and other constitutional re-
forms has entirely overshadowed the
original purpose for which the Nor
folk meeting was called.

RULING AS TO INSURANCE.
MutuaIs May DO More Than One KIND
of Business.

Dies MONIES, April @s.-The auditor
of state has been in receipt Of numer-
Gus requests from mutual insurance
companies as to the plan by which
they can legally carry on two distinct
lines of business. Many of them want
to conduct the fire and lightning in
surance as one feature, and tornado
and windstorm business as another.
The question is whether this can be
done, and if so, by what plan. The
attorney general in his opinion holds
that may be done, but only on plan
which will make the different classes
of insurance pay their equitable pro-
portions of the burden.
