DEMANDS PUNISHMENT.

Italian government says Lyncners MUST
Be Adequately Punished.
WAsHINaToN, Jan. 1.-the Italian
government has signified to the United
States that the persons guilty of
lynching five Italians at Talulah, La,
last spring, must be punished. Here
tofore, in the case of the lynching Of
Italians the matter has been compro-
missed by the payment of an indem-
nifty, but this does not meet the pres
emit demands of the Italian government.
AS under the existing law the trial
and prosecution of such cases are left
entirely to the state authorities, the
national government is well nigh help
less to meet the request Of the Italian
government.

Guard Omccrs object to Repayment to
Regim Is.
DIES MONIES, Jan. 1.-THE Iowa Ma
tional Guard association in annual
meeting voted that the legislature
shall be asked for no bounties for the
Spanish war soldiers. A proposal from
the Legislative committee that the
Forty-ninth, Fiftieth and Fifty-second
regiments be each given bounty
equal to the amount which the state
appropriated to pay for transporting
the Fifty-first regiment home from
San Francisco, brought up the matter.
There was lively discussion and it
was unanimously voted to ask no such
bounty, but to ask that the money be
used for the better equipment of the
guard. The guard association was re-
organized, officers elected and a plan
of action adopted, of which the most
essential feature is to secure a more
perfect equipment for the guard than
1t had in the past. Considerable dis
cussion was had on this point, and 1t
was agreed that when the militia of
the United States was called into SER
vice il ought to be armed with some
thing better than old fashioned Spring
fields with which to fight semi-savages
armed with the best modern weapons.
The association will assert all it's in
huence to secure better equipment
Officers were elected as follows: Pres
ident, James Rush Lincoln, Ames;
vice president, Major A. c. Norris,
G"rnell; recording secretary, Lieut..
F. II. Jones, Des Moines; correspond
