4 Shock From Iowa.

Nowhere will the conduct of the
Iowa house of representatives produce
so great a shock as in Pennsylvania.
We actually see a branch of state
Legislature overwhelmingly Republic
can pronouncing against a policy to
which the party in congress has COM
mitted itself. Every member of con-
gress from Iowa voted for the Porto
Rico tariff bill and the speaker of the
house, an Iowan, did all he could for
the measure. Yet the Republicans of a
branch of the Iowa legislature by unan-
imous vote adopt resolution declaring
for free trade with the island.
Fancy such independence in the leg
islature of Pennsylvania. if you can.
Or supposing the impossible to happen,
and the house at Harrisburg arrogat-
ing to itself the right to think and ex-
press it's thought in such fashion
picture to yourself the horror of the
machine. We should hear from Mr..
Quay that the world was about to come
to an end, and that every follower of
Mr. Quay, after recovering his breath,
would rend the skies with loyal shouts
in denuncation of treason and insur-
gency so hideous.
Iowa takes lne manifestation of its
houses temerity with miraculous calm
ness AS yet we have seen no intima-
tion from that state that the house has
covered itself with everlasting infamy
by daring to speak its honest mind. II
even seems to be taken for granted out
there that it is not revolutionary and
indecent for a legislature to own itself
instead of being owned by boss

HOPE FOR UNITED ACTION.
England Believes an Understa nding Is
Now in Sight.

London, Oct. S.-Thanks to Ger
many's withdrawal of her first note
and the substitution for it of COM
promise, there is general impress
sion in England that basis of unir-
ed action by the powers is now in
sight. That such satisfactory stage
has been reache.i through Lord Sails,
bury's following Americas lead is
ignored by the English papers, which
have not yet grasped the fact that
the present German action is direct
consequence of Lord Salisbury's re-
fusal to become party to the sug-
gestion that the surrender of the
guilty Chinese officials must be pre-
cedent to the peace negotiations.
Great Britain, it is farely safe to say,
will now never formally answer Ger
many's first note, but her informal
answer, as cabled by the Associated
Press, had perhaps greater effect
on the negotiations than any recent
circumstance, besides making the con-
tinental plan for working independ-
emily of the United States unfeasible.
1t can now be announced that the
information of the Associated Press
on this subject. which was so disbe-
iieved at the time on the continent,
and which was the subject of so
many denials, was secured direct from
the British government and it was
even more official than the official
equivocations which, in the interests
of international harmony. were issued
subsequent to the dispatch of the AS
ISOLATED Press.

PRINCE TUAN's PUNISHMENT.
More Severe Than II Was at First
Supposed To BE.

More Severe Than IL Was at First
Supposed To he.
Washington, Oct. 3.-The Chinese
minister has delivered to the state de-
partmcnt official confirmation of the
degradation of Prince Tuan and many
other Chinese leaders. The following
is the official statement made:
"a cablegram was received from
Director General Sheng at Shanghai
and states that Princes Chwang, Yih.
Tasai and Tsai Wing are deprived of
all their respective rank and of
fees, Prince Tuan deprived of
Office and handed over to the
imperial clan court, which will
decide upon severe penalty, his
salary to be stopped; Duke Tsai Ian.
president of the censurate at Wing
Men, president of the civil board at
Rang Yai, and the president of the
board of punishment at Chao Shu
Chiao are to be handed over to the
board of censors, who will decide
upon the penalty"
Minister Wu's information appears
to put at rest all questions as to the
fall of the reactionary element head
ed by Prince Tuan and including the
president of the censurate and board
of punishments. 1t is shown, however,
that the punishment of Prince Tuan
was more severe u an heretofore re-
ported, as he is removed from Office,
fact not stated in previous dis
patches. The elan court is directed
also to decide upon the ''severeness
of the penalty" in addition to the
loss of Office, salary and servants.

smallpox which this city contributed
last winter has proven a very expen-

DIR. j. II. McGready to care for the

it cut the amount of charges in two.
The case was carried to the courts,
and Judge Platt ordered the jury to
find for the physician on the ground
that the board of health has author
ity to employ physician and fix his
compensation and the board of SUI
pervisors could not reduce the amount
allowed. This brings the total cost
Of the case to 81 800.

HEAVY FIRE AT FORT DODGE. .

FortDodge, Oct. 3.-Fire was start
ed in the Oleson Drug company's store
by an explosion of can of carbolic
acid. The blaze was quickly commun-
icated to the oils and paint stock, and
for time the three story block, one
of the finest in the city, was threat
ened with entire destruction. The ele-
vator shaft communicated the fire
and smoke to the second and third
stories so quickly that some women
were imprisoned in living rooms on
the third floor, and were rescued
from the balcony by firemen. 1t re-
quired an hour and half to get the
fire under control, by which time the
$4,000 stock was almost totally ruined
by fire, smoke and water. The build
ing was damaged $1,000 The insur-
ance is about $4,000 on stock and

burglar struck Beveridge couple of
times with his fist, but the latter

TRAIN ROBBER KILLED.
rlessenger Baxter Shoots One and
His Partner Skips.

Council Bluffs, Oct. 4.-Lving at the
morgue in this city, with a bullet
through his heart, is a man, power
fully built, black hair, mustache,
about 6 feet tall, aged apparently 45
years. He was one of two men who
held up the Kansas City passenger
train on the Burlington road, three
miles south of this city, at midnight.
Express Messenger Charles Baxter
killed him.
Two men boarded the train at the
Union Tactic transfer station and
climbed over the tender just as the
train wa. crossing the Moquito creel;
bridge. Engineer Donnelly and Frank
Holman, fireman, who were in charge
of the engine, were ordered to slow
up as soon as the train had crossed
the bridge. While the now dead man
held revolver on the engine crew
his companion went back and cut OFF
the baggage and mail cars, leaving
the day coaches and sleepers standing
on the main line.
Acting under orders, the engineer
pulled the train half mile down the
track. where a stop was made. Here
the robbers approached the express
car and ordered Messenger Baxter to
open tn. door. He refused to do so.
Under tompulsion, Engineer Donnelly
attached stick of dynamite to the
side of the door and blew it open.
In the meantime Messenger Baxter
seized his guns and escaped from the
door on the opposite side of the car.
As soon as the door was opened, one
of the robbers entered the car, while
his companion marched the engineer
and fireman back to the engine. Bax-
ter crept around in front of the en-
CINE, and seeing one of the robbers
keeping guard over the engine crew,
fired one shot, killing him instantly
AS soon as the shot was heard the
robber in the car jumped to the
ground and fled through cornfield
The dead man was picked up, placed
on board and the train was backed
into the city. The body was searched
but nothing could be found on it by
which it could be identified. 1t was
dressed in neat suit of black clothes
over which overalls and jumpers had
been drawn. In the pockets were
found about SIS in money ana 3
watch and chain.
The door of the expires; car was
badly shattered by the explosion OF
dynamite. The robber inside the car
was preparing to blow the safe at the
time his companion was killed. He
ceased operations at once, and nc
damage was done to the contents OF
the car, nor was anything taken.
Omaha, Oc:. 5.-The only develop.
ment in the Kansas City train rob.
berry is the identification of the dead
robber as man who worked for a
short time in the barber shop of Fritz
Bernhardt in Council Bluffs. Little
can be learned of him. A posse is still
pursuing the robbers companion. A
man who gave the name of ID. II
Knight, was arrested yesterday after
noon on suspicion of being tie accom-
plice of the man who was killed in
the holdup.

Sioux City, Oct. 6.-Judge Wake
field has returned from Onawa, where
he listened to the evidence in two
peculiar injunction cases. Mrs. i. ".
Holman lives on what is known as
Holman's island, in the Missouri river.
Formerly this was small peninsula,
but the tickle Missouri cut through
the neck and left the piece of land
stranded. For some time liquor has
been sold from barges moored TO the
south side of the island. Mrs. Hol-
man now asks that the nuisance be-
abated. The defendants allege, how,
ever, that they are doing business in
the state of Nebraska and are not
subject to the injunction statute of
Iowa. They do not attempt to show
that they have not been selling liquor.
The peculiar actions OF the Missouri
channel are responsible for the mix
up. Written arguments are to be

CHINESE FLEET wARLIKE.
Tries to Attack the Russian Armored
Cruiser, Rurik.

CRUISER, Hurik.
London, Oct. Cit is reported in
st. Petersburg, according to the cor
respondent of the Times at the Rus
sian capital, that the Chinese fleet in
Formosa strait attempted to engage
the Russian armored cruiser Rurik,
but the latter's speed frustrated the
plan.
The correspondent says it is prob
able that the allied squadrons Will
force the Chinese fleet to capitulate.
or will destroy it.
Shanghai kilograms announce that
the imperial edict dated September
80. ordering the court to be removed
to Sing Nan. was issued owing to the
famine at Tai Yuan Flu, capital of
the province of Shan 81. They also
express the opinion that the object
of the recent edicts regarding the
degradation of Chinese personages
of high rank is merely to gain time
and enable China to be in better
position to defy the powers, as the
new capital will be virtually inacces-
sible from the coast.
The Shanghai correspondent of the
Morning Post, discussing this aspect
of the case, remarks:
"The German troops have no means
of transport, and any attempt to fol-
low the Chinese court would therefore
be quite futile"
He says that the Chinese firmly be.
lieve in the existence of a Russo
German agreement, under which Rus
STA will take all the territory north
of the great wall, and Germany the
provinces of Chi Ii and Shan Tung.
The Times representative at Shang-
hal says:
1T Is believed here that highly i'm
f'ammatory edicts are being issued
secretly, and that the recent public
edicts are only intended to hoodwink
the powers"
