Germany Has Not Replied to Note

VIII he Cautious in Her Action Until

The Cabinet Discusses
Chinese Affairs.

Berlin, Nov. 2S.-Andrew d. White,
the United States ambassador, Tues
day reiterated to the correspondent
of the press that his recent interview
with Baron Won Richthofen, the sec
rotary of foreign affairs, was a mere
discussion of the Chinese question.
Germany gave no refusal and does not
know whether she will make any an
swer to the United States suggestions.
A representative of the foreign Of
flee informed the correspondent that
he could not go into any details about
the matter. He assumed that the note
had been communicated to all the other
powers and refused to say whether
Germany was preparing an answer nor
how she would answer, adding:
1--WE must not interfere in the matter. 1t
is the United States governments business
to give out information on the subject,
especially since the diplomatic negotiations
at Peking are about finished
Germany Is Cautious.
The correspondent, from various
other sources, gathers the following
facts: Germany, before replying
to Secretary Hays note, wishes
to ascertain from her diplomatic
representatives at the capitals of
the powers how the other powers
have received the United States sug-
gestions. Replies from the repre-
sentatives are expected within AS
hours. If Germany, from the an

Further Attempts VIII De Made to
Get Rid of the Bonaparte Dam,
Which Annoys Sportsmen.

The decision of the supreme court,
which permits the Bonaparte dam to
stand, and estops the state from pros
ecuting the owners of that dam Grim
inally for maintaining nuisance, has
been great disappointment to the
sportsmen of the state, but it is not
believed TO be the end of the effort to
get rid of the dam. w. l.. Read, of Des
Moines. attorney for the Sportsmen's
association, who carried the case to the
supreme court, believes there is still
chance for further civil action on the
part of some citizen landowner along
the river above the dam who may claim
damages from the owners thereof, be-
cause the dam prevents the fish from
coming up the river. But this is not
the only recourse or hope for those who
hope to be rid of this nuisance. The
dam cannot last very long without the
expenditure of several thousand dol
lars in repairs. and this, it is said. the
owners of the dam will not do They
have no use for the dam except to sell
their rights to the state.

HARD AT WORK.
Society Will Form County Clubs
and Ask for Contributions.

DR.. Frances Wood, state organizer of
the Equal Suffrage society, has left
Des Moines, for extended work in Ma
rion, Mahaska, Washington and Musca-
time counties. She will endeayor to or
.ganize county clubs and also secure
contributions to the national bazaar
fund. This fund is to be used at the big
bazaar in New York in December. The
Iowa society will try to get a carload of
hogs and sell them and send the pro-
cesds to the finance committee of the
bazaar. 1t is thought scores of farmers
will favor giving a hog to the local club
in their county, and then collection
of the hogs will be made, probably at
Des Moines. The Maintenance league
is also to be organized all over the state
that is, a general fund is to be raised
by members donating whatever sum
they like, and they can belong to the
league whether really equal sutfragists
or not. The central offices in Des
Moines. in charge of Mrs. Nelson, will
receive such contributions.

NO MORE CIGARETTES.
Iowa Tobacco Dealers Stop Their
Sale because of Decision of Ten.
nessee Supreme Court.

The sale of cigarettes in Iowa has
been discontinued as the result of a
decision in the supreme court of Ten
nessee. Iowa dealers who sell them
row do SO at the peril of prosecution.
Agents of the American Tobacco COM
pany have visited various cities to serve
notice upon the dealers that the com
pany would no longer be responsible
for the sale of cigarettes since the Ten
nessee decision. Iowa and Tennessee
have similar cigarette laws, which re-
quire the payment of mulct tax of
5000 annually for permission to sell
them, the view taken by the legisla-
lures being that they were injurious
to the public health. This step leaves
some of the dealers in bad shape. A
number of them have hundreds of dol
lars worth on hand. They cannot sell
them without paying the mulct tax of
$500 per year, and they declare that
the profit is not sufficient to warrant

MISS MUNRO MAKES RECORD.
Drives Four-in-Hand Five Days,
without Feeling Slightest
Fatigue.

With leaders gayly prancing, Miss
Norma L. Munro's four spirited bays
dashed into Norwood Park at Long
Branch the other afternoon. Thus end
ed the last stage of a coaching trip
which lasted five days, and was unique
in the history of the sport.
Miss Munro not only enjoys the good
fortune to be heiress to $10,000,000, but
she is an accomplished sportswoman.
notwithstanding her devotion to art
ana literature, she finds much time for
Yachting and field sports. Above all
she is an enthusiastic horsewoman. An
accident last spring resulted in frac-
ture of her left wrist, but the break
did not keep her long away from her
favorite sports. Soon she was driving
as much and as skillfully as ever.
Miss Munro began her last coaching
trip last Tuesday. Her guests were
her mother, Mrs. Norman +. Munro;
Mrs Robert Osborne, Albert Twpford,
Charles E. Cushing and Mr.. and Mrs.
Benjamin F. Goodspeed. Fresh horses

was reached at six o'clock that evening.
There Henry H. Munro, student, and
his friend, Mr.. Waggerman, son of a
Baltimore millionaire. were added to
the party. Next day the journey led as
far as Bernardsville. That night the
party was entertained by Mr.. Blair,
who is erecting house that is to cost
$1.O00,Ooo.
Miss Munro fooled the coach to
Orange on Thursday through the most
picturesque part of New Jersey.
Thence homeward the trip was made
by easy stages. Only three relays Of
horses were used, the last being put in
at Redbank. Miss Munro was congratu-
lated by all her friends. Not the slight
est accident married the pleasure of the
trip. The weather was ii,eal and seen
cry delightful. The roads could not
have been better.
Miss Munro accomplished the feat Of
driving four-in-hand for five days
without feeling the slightest fatigue.
She will have several entries in the
Forthcoming horse show.

KRUGER MEETS PREMIER.
President of Transvaal Received by
NJ. Waldecl<-Rouxsenu and Given
a Short Conference.

Paris, Nov. 2s.-Mr. Kruger began a
busy day Tuesday morning by making
an official call. Before nine o'clock he
departed from the Hotel Scribe, driving
in landau surrounded by republican
guards and bicycle policemen, to visit
the premier, NJ. Waldeck-Rousseau.
He was accompanied by DIR. Leyds,
DIR. Van Hammel and Delegate Fischer.
The party was met at the entrance to
the premier's saloon by NJ. Ulrich. di-
rector of the cabinet, who introduced
the visitors to the prime minister. The
interview took place in NJ. Waldeck-
Rousseau's private study and lasted
ten minutes. AT half-past nine o'clock
the premier, accompanied by Nj. Ulrich.
returned the call.
The officials of the municipal coun-
Gil of Paris and of the general
council of the Seine were received at
ten a. m. by Mr.. Kruger, in the Ho-
tel Scribe. The interview was pri-
vate and brief. Immediately after
the visitors had departed Mr.. Kruger
drove to the Hotel de Vile. He re-
ceived an ovation from a large crowd
massed in the square in front of the
editice. Mr.. Kruger was conducted to
the debating hall, where he was
given the armchair reserved for rep
resentatives of governments. The
municipal councillors and the people
in the public galleries loudly cheered
the distinguished visitor. Vice Presi-
dent Escudier delivered an eloquent
address, saying Paris had given Mr..
Kruger welcome worthy of his
noble character and the grandeur of
his cause. He also said:
"You have heard the heart of Paris beat.
1t is the heart of France. Let the peoples
speak and speak loudly, and arbitration
will impose itself, as necessary satisfaction
to Justice and civilization"
Mr.. Kruger replied in energetic

NEW MINING CAMP.
for the Town of Buxton, in
Monroe County.

There has been q great exodus from
Muchakinock, 60 families bidding fare
well to the homes they have known
and loved so long. Most of the pilgrims
are colored people, and the words of
that old familiar strain. Use Gwine to
Say Good-by,'' will come up wildly to
mind. In the big caravan there were
100 employees of the Consolidated Coal
company, and their destination was the
new town of Buxton, in Monroe county,
about &c miles southwest fressif Mueh-
akinock. The, new field of coal is one
of the richest in Iowa. The vein is over
six feet thick, and from present pros
poets it will be unusually easy to mine.
The 100 new houses in Buxton, which
are complete and comfortable. are
ready for occupancy, and constitute a
model mining camp. The Northwest
ern railroad is completed to the new
shaft, No. 10. and the big store building
will soon be stocked with goods.

THRONE OR WEDDING.
BILL to Enable wilhelmina to Marry
and Yet Remain
Queen.

In order to hold the throne the Dutch
sovereign cannot marry without the
consent OF her parliament. She may
marry otherwise, but in that case
would inexorably have to renounce the
throne. Therefore two bills are about
to be put before the states general, the
first giving the parliamentary consent
to Queen Wilhelmina's marriage to
Duke Henry of Mecklenburg-S chwerin,
and the second granting full naturali-
cation to the duke, as well as deciding
upon his future title. Temporarily
this title is that of prince consort.
Preparations for the wedding are be-
ing hurried along.

/ Cabinet Discusses Chinese Affairs.
| Washington, Nov. 2s-The cabinet
! meeting Tuesday occupied mainly a
, discussion of Chinese affairs and the
reading of portions of the presidents
Forthcoming message to congress.
| The result of the discussion of the
last phases of the Chinese problem
was a thorough approval at every
point of the policy of Secretary Hay,
and especially of the last Instructions
to Mr.. Conger, which were forwarded
just week ago.
While Mr.. Conger has full plenipo-
Tertiary powers. and consequently by
his acts at Picking can finally commit
/ the government of the United States
to an agreement, it is understood
by the officials here that so far he
has not signed any protocol, or pre-
liminary treaty. So, regardless of
Mr.. Conger's disposition toward the
agreement reached by the ministerial
council, the government of the United
States still stands uncommitted. and
therefore is in a position to endeavor
to bring about such changes in the
arrangement as are deemed indis-
pensable.
White Not Yet Heard From.
Mr.. White, our ambassador at Ber-
lin. has not yet communicated to the
state department the reception ac-
corded by the German government to
the copy of the instructions supplied
by our state department to Minister
Conger. 1t is stated that these in
structions, not being in the form of
direct address, would not necessari-
ly call for formal response. and it
is even probable that the only result
will be SUCH an exchange of views
as have taken place verbally at Bcr-
lin between our ambassador and the
uei lhaii munster OF IofeiSn a1falrS.
1t is expected that several days will
be consumed in this kind of nego1ia-
ton with the various powers before
the last phase of the Chinese ques-
ton initiated by Secretary Hays in
structions to Minister Conger as to
the agreement can be passed.
Private adviccs received here iudi-
cate that the surUeStiopS of +b;. o
eminent, as embodied in the instruc-
tions to M'Ais-rr Conger, meet with
general favor abroad.
