That Power Conceded to 1t by the State
Department..
Washington, Feb. 1.-THE state de-
partment has officially admitted that
congress alone had the function to alb
rogate treaties and was not subject to
the action of the state department in
dealing with the Clayton-Bulwer
treaty.
In 1860 the United States began the
negotiation of treaty with Nicara-
qua providing for the sole ownership
of any trans-isthmian canal, but an at
tache Of the British legation stole the
document or secured a copy of it and
England negotiated the treaty, delay
Ing the negotiations Of the United
States until 1867, when they were COM
pleted. This treaty is now in force,
and it is held that it nuliifies the Clay
ton-Bulwer treaty. 1t is also contend
ed that England's negotiations of a
treaty with Nicaragua was an admis-
sion that it did not consider the Clay
tOn-Bulwer treaty operative.

Iowa House Committee to Report Con-
stitutional amendment.
Des MOines, Feb. 14.-Five anti
suffrage women appeared before the
house committee on constitutional
amendments in opposition to the reso-
luton for the submission of a consti-
rational amendment allowing women
to vote. The suffragists who are rep
resented here by Mrs. Evelyn H. Bel
don of Sioux City, president Of the
State Equal Suffrage association, did
not appear before the committee.
1t appears they did not need to do so,
for the committee Immediately decided
unanimously to report the woman suf-
frage resolution to pass. 1t had been
supposed that the committee was adj
verse to the resolution and the victory
of the suffragists is surprising to their
opponents. The suffragists expect the
resolution to pass both houses.

New York. Feb. 14-The Rev. DR..
Charles III. Parkhurst and the Society
for the Prevention of Crime, according
to reports, are meditating another cru
SADIE. They consider that certain plays
now being produced are corrupting
public morals and should be sup
pressed or pruned. The plays in view
are "Sapho" and "The Degenerates."
There is also some discussion of por-
tons of 'When We Were Twenty
One" "Papa's Wife, and Naughty
Anthony" "Sapho," it is thought,
with liberal pruning, may be made at
least negative in its effects upon pub
lie morals.

General Oren has filed the answer Of
the state boayd of auditors to the su-
preme court directing 1t to show cause
why q mandumus should not issue
compelling it to pay Lucius l.. Hickox,
Of Kent county, who claims a bounty
Of $3.50 under the act of 1865. The at
tOrney general upholds the state board
of auditors. Hickox was a resident of
Byron township, and yet was credited
to Orange township, the object being
to secure a larger bounty. Therefore
he Is not entitled to a state bounty.
The claim under the act Of 1865 il
called void.
They Do Not File Their Reports.
Although blanks were sent out in
December to 2,215 manufacturing and
mercantile corporations calling for
their annual reports as required by
law, so far only 1894 concerns have filed
their reports. The time limit expires
on March /. There is fine of $25 and
SIS per day for failure to comply with
the law, and the secretary Of state will
enforce the penalty this year.
