The attendance from Iowa at the Ma.
tional Educational Association, which
meets in Charleston, S. c.. is not likely
to be very large. Presiden. Beardshear,
of Ames, who has charge of the mat
ter in Iowa, is receiving but compara-
lively few reports so far of persons Who
intend to go. altho more will undoubt-
edly be received within the next week
The Iowa people will start about July
g. Among those who have said they
would go are the following:
F. E. Simons. West Branch: Laura
b. swan, Fairfield: Ethel Tollman. Ke-
ota: A. A. McClelland. 727 Fifth street,
Des Moines: o. f. McFadon. Daven-
port Nellie O,Neal, Aurelia: Margaret

President Beardshear has received
from Elbat Hubbard, editor of the
Philistine. a letter in regard to the fool
ish charge Of plagiarism that was pre-
ferred against DR.. Beardshear thru the
enmity of a person in Ames who is at
outs With the college and its mana se-
lment. This person procured the as
sistance of some Des Moines newspaper
men in his effort to smirch DR.. Beard
shear. but the effort has proven wholly
| Intellectual. The following is a copy OF
| the letter from Ebert Hubbard:

Sioux City. June 2S-M. H. Donahue,i
OF this city, a passenger conductor on
the Pacific Short Line, has invented
and patented device for the stoppage
of leaks in the gaskets Of train hose.
which is said to be most valuable In
yention. Judge Warwick Hough, of ST.
Louis. who was one of the receivers of
the old Sioux City & Northern road. is
Donahue's financial hacker, and ar
raEgements are now being made for the
manufacture of the device on large
scale in either st. Louis or Sioux City.
The invention, for which Mr.. Donahue
is said to have been offered $4,000 in
cold cash. is a simple tin affair of disc
shape. As usual, the common wonder
is that no one ever thought Of 1t before.

IMPROVED SITUATION.
Able to Get a Clearer
View of Conditions In China.

View of Conditions In China.
London. June 2s-The situation in
China is clearing slowly but surely. The
losses and dangers Of the foreigners in
Tien Tsin are now known to have been
grossly exaggerated by the rumor-
nongers There has been no massacre
OF foreigners. The casualties have been
few and the damage to property has
beer slight.
Dispatches received from Shanghai
and Che Foo agree in minimizing the
perils to which the foreign quarter had
been exposed. and a European who has
reached the coast from Tien-Tsir re-
ports that there has been anxiety there,
but no approach to panic.
The relief column which entered Tien
Tsin Saturday, night met with little risist-
ance The Russian losses are reported
as four killed and twenty wounded, and
the casualties q the other detachments
were light.
Admiral Seymour's mixed force,which
was retreating toward Tien Tsin, does
not appear TO have been in so desperate
"a plight as the earliest and most sensa-
tional dispatches made out. and on sun
day 1t was only three hours march from
the city.
The details of the rescue of this force
by relief column 1000 strong arc still
lacking, but the return OF the entire
body to Tien Tsin is foregone con-
clusion.
The safety of the foreign legations is
assured. The foreigners. with their own
guards. were conducted out OF the chpi-
tai and placed under the protection Of
Seymour's force, which retired slowly
toward Tien Tsin, with its sick and
wounded.
The column was harasaed by Chinese
mobs and compelled to move slowly, but
apart from the difficulty Of securing
supplies 1t does not appear to have been
in serious danger, much LEGS in great ex-
trcmity.
1t now seems probable that with the
10000 troops. including the Japanese.
between Taku and Tien Tsin, Pekin can
be approached with little difficulty
within few days and members of the
Legations reinstated in their quarters.
This may be an optimistic view. but
the situation has improved SO rapidly
during the last forty-eight hours that
the collapse of the entire Boxer move
ment within a week is now forecasted
| by weil-infonned men. The optimists
are probably oversanguine, just as the
croakers have been unduly alarmed.
but the Improvement In the situation is
unmistakable.
Dispatches received yesterday while
reassuring in character. did not bear
out all these hopeful conclusions. There
were persistent reports from Shanghai
that Seymour was In great straits Sun
| day and unable to hold out more than
forty-eight hours, and that the casual
] ties OF his column. amounted tn eea c-
more.
From Che. Foo there was a more
hopeful account, stating that few allied
TROOPS had been. killed.
