terday morning providing for the es-
tablishment of permanent good roads
shruout the state. His measure pro-
vides that half of the expense shall
be borne by the state and the other
half bv the county in which the roads
are built. The bill calls for a regular
state tax for the purpose of road
building, and appoints the executive
council as the body which shall draw
up plans for road building. This bill
is the outline of the good roads argu-
ments put forth by w. Fl. Moore, pre-
ident of the National Good Roads and
Improvement society, who organized a
state society in Iowa last summer.
Senator Hayward yesterday intro
duced a pnl that will meet with the
unanimous approval of the state banks.
1t provides that state banks may ac-
cept deposits to the extent OF ten times
their capital, nlus their surplus. The
law now allows state banks to receive
deposits only for ten times the amount
of their capital, exclusive OF their sur
plus.
A number of other bills of minor
Importance We're introduced yesterday
morning, and the senate adjourned to
meet at 1880 today.
The work in the house yesterday
was devoid of interest, the morning be-
ing spent in arranging matters of
comparatively no Importance. The
house adjourned at noon to meet at

Pettigrew's Philippine Reso-
luton Considered.
SENATOR LODGE AMENDS.
Wishes 1t to Include Information as to
the Filipinos, Treatment of Prise
liners and the Manila Upris.
ing-Charges Made.

Washington, Jan. 11.-(By Associat-
ed Press.)-In the senate Spooner, of
Wisconsin, introduced bill providing
that when the Philippine insurrection
is suppressed the government of the
islands shall be invested in such per-
son or persons as the president may
direct, pending more definite action
by congress. Pettigrew's resolution re-
garding the attempt to open negotia-
tions with the Filipinos was taken up.
Hoar offered a similar resolution of a
broader scope. Lodge offered fur
ther amendment to include any infor-
nation of the plans of the Filipinos
touching the uprising in Manila for the
destruction OF foreign property and
massacre of residents; also regarding
the treatment of prisoners by the in
surgents; also information touching
the dissemination of anti-imperialistic
literature among the insurgents and
soldiers serving in the Philippines.
Hoar assented to Lodges proposal. He
said he also wanted the presidents in
structions to the Philippine commits
sion. Pettigrew charged Lodge with
trying to suppress information and in
sisted on having his resolution acted
on separately.
Pettigrew charged the administra-
ton with suppressing facts about do
ings in the Philippines for political
purposes; that Otis altered the presi-
dents proclamation; that he defraud-
ed the Filipinos and the administration
and hunbugged the American people.
The senate committee on Indian af-
fairs authorized favorable report on
Pettigrew's bill for free homes on
lands ceded from Indians.
Pettigrew charged that the United
States commenced the war, first by a
proclamation by. the president in Dec.
1898, afterwards by firing the first Shot
and killing the first man. IF / were
Filipino" said Pettigrew, II would
fight until ] was gray against this pol
icy of criminal aggression" 1t was fl
nally decided that all three resolutions
should remain on the table for further
discussion. Stewart, of Nevada, then
took the floor and spoke on the fnan-
cial bill.
State Senator Clark testified he had
received $4,000 in one thousand dollar
bills from United States Senator
Clark's manager, Welcome, Jan. a,
1897; that the money was given him
on the express condition that he was
to vote for Clark as his vote was want
ed. After receiving the money he plac-
ed it in an envelope, marked the en-
velope, and handed it TO Whiteside
for safe keeping. The committee then
adjourned.

DEwEY,s PROPHECY.
Admiral Said He Could Take Manila in
One Day.


Washington, Jan. 11.-(By Associat-
ed Press )-Responding to the senate
resolution of inquiry, the secretary of
the navy has sent TO the senate Dew,
ey's report from Hong Kong, dated
March 81, 1898, relative to the capture
of Manila. The report is in response
to telegram of inquiry from the sec
retary. The admiral gives in detail
the names of the available vessels un-
der his command and list of Spain's
vessels and other means of defense at
Manila. He stated that his own squad
ron was in high state of efficiency.
He said the Spanish forces numbered
$4,000 soldiers, in all the islands of
which half were in the vicinity of Ma
Mia.
''The islands are in state of insur-
rection and my informant states that
even the Spanish soldiers who consti-
tute only a small part of the whole
are disaffected. Both ships and forts
are in need of ammunition
To this statement he added the fol-
lowing: II believe am not over-con-
fident in stating that with the squad
ron under my command, the vessels
could be taken and the defenses of Ma
Mia reduced in one day. There is ev-
cry reason to believe that with Manila
taken or even blockaded, the rest of the
islands would fall either to the insur-
gents or to ourselves as they are only
held thru the support of the navy and
depend upon Manila for their supplies.
Information has just reached me that
there are 5000 armed rebels in camp
near Manila who are willing to assist
us"

by McAleer, of Dubuque, who deliver
ed short nominating speech, paying
special tribute to Mr.. White aud his
efforts on behalf of. the democratic
party during the past few years. At
this point Theophilus, of Scott, asked
permission to read a telegram. Itwas
from Cato Sells, and was as follows:

there is some controversy as to wheth-
er Mr.. White or myself shall receive
the nomination of candidate for Unit
ed States senator. 1t will please me if
the honor is conferred upon Mr.. White
and you are so authorized to state 10
the joint caucus. Cato Sells"
Following the reading of the tele-
gram II was moved and carried that
nominations be closed and that Mr..
White be made the unanimous choice,
The question of putting up candidates
for the positions of state printer and
binder was not mentioned at the eau
Gus. This is one feature of the state
government of which the democrats
do not approve. and they considered
that the naming of candidates would
imply that they favored the system.
1t was expected there would be con-
siderable contest over the nomination,
for the division among the members
regarding White and Sells was about
equal. Il was really division be-
dWeen the younger members and the
oder, and between the conservatives
and the radicals on the money quss-
ton. The house was known 10 have
been favorable to Mr.. Sells, and a ma
Jorlty was claimed for him in the SEN
ate, but OF course his Withdrawal pre-
cluded the possibility of contest.

Deutschland was intended to be the
most powerful ship in the world ana

minutes II and required to take but one
ballot to reach an agreement. The ba-
sis of the plea upon which the Jurors

was that she had been driven to tenn
porary insanity by Leidenheimer's per-
sistent and insulting attentions and
had slain him to protect her honor.
She was leading lady and Leidenheimer
was leading man of the Plaster Of
Paris company, which was to have be-
gun an engagement here on the night
