General Byers has received a mes
sage from the quartermaster general
at Washington to the effect that the
state will receive back the tentage
with which the volunteers were furn-
ished when they entered the United
States service in 1898. The tentage
has already been ordered shipped to
Des Moines from the depots at st
Louis. Chicago, and st. Asapeth, Va.
This will insure the guard good tent
tentage at the encampments. and is
regarded as an important accession
to the quartermaster's stores of the
state.

THREE HUNDRED MISSING
Latest Reports Reveal Extent of the
H0b0ken Horror.

New York, July 3.-Sixty-seven
bodies of victims OF the Hoboken fire
have been recovered. Each hour that
passes witnesses additional recoveries
of bodies, scared, MANNED and burned
beyond all semblance of humanity.
And the half has not yet been told. as
all the bodies brought to the surface
yesterday were caught on graphing
hooks. The list of missing is still
placed at but few below the 300 mark,
and when the bodies begin floating to
the surface the gruesomeness of the
situation will be realized. The bodies
recovered up to II o'clock last night
include forty-one now in O'Donnell's
undertaking establishment and some
in Hoboken; ten in IIoffman's in the
same city; twelve in the morgue in New
York, and four deckhands of the Saale,
which We're recovered too late to be
brought to either city. Of these, thir-
ty-seven have been either positively
or partially identified, most of them,
so far as has been discovered, being
victims from the steamship Saale.

WOMEN CANNOT VOTE.

Decision of Judge EicheIberger In OF
tumwa Library Case.
OrTUMwA, July 5.-Judge Eichel-
berger has rendered his decision in
the case recently brought by some OF
tumwa citizens through Messrs. Cor
nell and Leech by which they sought
to restrain the city council and city
officers from accepting the library
proposition as adopted, on the ground
that the election was illegal because
women voted unconstitutionally. The
opinion holds that women had no right
to vote in the library election because
although the statute gives them that
right the constitution does not recog-
nize as voters any except male adult
citizens. This election, Judge Eichel-
berger thinks, was an election au-
thorized by law" and therefore recog-
nized by the constitution. AS women
are not recognized by the constitution
as electors, they had, therefore, no
right to vote in this election.

Won KETTELER is. DEAD
Report of Murder of German Minis
ter Officially Confirmed.

SHANGHAI, July 3.-The British con-
sui at Che Foo telegraphs that Baron
Won Ketteler, German minister at Pc
king, was murdered by native troops
June IS. Three legations-those of
Britain, France and Germany--were
still undestroyed June 90. The Ger
man minister was attacked while pro-
ceeding to the tsung-li-yamen, where
he died. The American consul here
states that Yung Lu telegraphed
June &c that the other ministers were
safe that morning but the situation was
desperate and he doubted whether the
ministers could hold out twerty-four
hours longer, as he and the empress
could not longer give protection.
WASHINGTON, July 3.-The navy de-
partment has received the following
from Admiral Kempff, undated:
'CHE Foo.-A runner from Peking re-
ports the legations besieged; provis-
ions nearly exhausted and the situa-
ton desperate. The German minister
was murdered by Chinese soldiers.
The American and Italian legations
were burned. Twenty Thousand Chi
nese soldiers are inside and 10000 out
side of Picking, and 5000 are reported
bound for Tien Tsin. Still fighting at
Tien Tsin. Communication with Tien
Tsin by rail and river is insecure"

TERRIBLE NEWS REITERATED.
Alleged Massacre of All Foreigners In
Chinese Capital.

LONDON, July s.-A Shanghai dis
patch receivedy esterday confirms news
of the massacre of the foreign min
listers, women and children and Euro
pean guards, after eighteen days of
helpless resistance. when the am
munition and food was exhausted"
continues the dispatch, "the Chinese
fiends closed in upon the legations
and butchered all who remained alive.
Afterwards they set fire to the lega-
ton buildings, in which the remains
of the victims were consumed IN a hor-
rible holocaust.
The dispatch does not state the
source from which the news was re-
ceived. No confirmation is received,
but it is thought this is indicated by
another Shanghai dispatch which
states that the taoti, or officers in
charge of the several departments at
Shanghai and pvicinity, now admits
that no legation exists at Pekin. They
are said to have been exterminated,
and admitted that no foreigners were
being left alive.

According to a report Of Maj.-Gen.
Otis to the war department from Feb.
10 to April 20 of this year, there were
received at the port Of Manila 100000
bales of Manila hemp. Additional
quantities of that fiber were coming in
at the latter date as rapidly as coast
ing vessels could be secured to trans
port the same. The receipts this year
promise to be as large as those Of any
preceding year. The report character
ICES the statement that the insurgent
authorities threaten to kill any Of the
natives found cleaning hemp as being
circulated for the purpose Of keeping
up the prevailing high prices.

BERLIN, July at a banquet at
Wilhelmshaven of the officers of club
subsequent to the launching of the
warship Wittelsbach, Emperor William
in response to toast proposed by
Prince Rupprecht of Bavaria, ''To the
head of the German navy" made some
emphatic declarations upon the sub.
ject of Germany as sea power, as
sorting that the ocean was indispensi-
BILE to Germany's greatness and that it
had been demonstrated that no great
decision could ever again be reached
in respect to the sea without consult
ing with Germany and the German
emperor. German peorle," SAID he,
"did not conquer and shed blood thir-
ty years ago in order to be thrust
aside when great foreign problems are
being settled. Ii that happens, then
the position of the German empire az
a world power would be at an end. ]
am not inclined to allow matters to
reach such pass. 1t is the emperor,
duty and highest privilege to employ
suitable and even the sharpes meth
DDS to prevent it,"

Seven Persons Dead and Two More VIII
Die-Many Hurt.
PARKERsBURG, w. Va, July 6.-The
most horrible calamity that this city
ever witnessed occurred at Z a. m.
Five men were blown to atoms, and
one other so badly injured that he
soon died, and two more are expected
to die at any minute. The yards of
the Ohio river railroad are spotted
with pieces of torn flesh and sprayed
with blood that was wiped up by the
burning oil. The scene is verita BILE
charred spot, and descriptive powers
failed to give any adequate conception
and impression of its horrors. A car
tank containing 5000 gallons of oil
was on the yard track for shipments
Train No. 20 was pulling a train Of
fast freight south bound. The engin-
Ger looked and saw that the main
track was open and came slowly to-.
ward the yards. The switch was open
and the train ran into the side track,
colliding with the tank car. The col
lision caused hole to be bored in the
top part of the tank, and the oil ig-
nited, causing terrific explosion.

The reunion Of the North and South
will be commemorated in a novel way
by the state of New Hampshire,
through the presentation of appropri-
ately inscribed bronze tablets to the
two most recent additions to the navy
the battleships Alabama and Kear-
sarge. A commission appointed to
recommend a suitable gift from New
Hampshire to the Kearsarge reported
in favor of tablet and added the sug-
gestion that, as the old Kearsarge once
fought and sunk the old Alabama, it
would be pleasing pledge to the
reunion If replica of the tablet for
the new Kearsarge were placed on the
new Alabama.

the fine residence and barn of DR.. j..
c. ShrGder and the residence of John
F. Tanner. E. f. Brockway was liv-
ing in the Shrader house and lis
horses and carriages occupied the
barn, which was situated about twen-
ty feet south of the extreme end Of the
house. The fire started in some man.
ner in the barn and within few mo-
ments was a roaring sheet of flame,
strong south wind driving the flames
TO the south and to the Tanner resi-
dence adjoining. The residence of
President MacLean was endangered,
but a stream of water was kept on
the building, preventing the fire from
securing a foothold. A conservative
estimate places the loss at $4,000,
partly covered by insurance.

quarter:
SHANGHAI, July 5.-"Prepare to
hear the worst"
TEN TsIN, July Those best in
formed in Tien Tsin consider the po-
sition of the foreigners in Pekin as al
most hopeless. 1t is hopeless to at
tempt to try to deliver them with the
force available. The commanders are
willing to resort to desperate means,
but to attempt forced march from
Eien Tsin with the forces at hand
means certain destruction to the army
besides the slaughter Of civilians left
at Tien Tsin. Enough soldiers must
be had necessary to defeat the Chinese
army. maintain communication with a
base of supplies and guard the hos
pitfalls enroute. A water supply is an
important problem in the country fur
nishing none except river wells, which
are being poisoned. The Chinese are
committing terrible atrocities upon
the wounded. They are mutilating
all the dead which fall into their
hands.

ings occurred near here. One was a
man who jumped from the government
bridge into the Mississippi, leaving his
coat and vest on the bridge, in the
pockets of which were letters from the
commandant of the Rock Island arse
nal to Samuel Kern, of Moline, telling
him that there was no work for him
at the government arsenal. The body
was seen floating down the river, but
sank and was not recovered. The
other was Fred tia, twelve years old,
drowned while bathing at Wizards
landing. His body was not recovered.

Kruger was there, but he deputed
State Secretary Reitz to talk. The
secretary said:
President Kruger wishes, through

as long as 500 burghers remain alive,
and even then will continue to fight.

versy in the executive council. An
effort on the part of State Treasurer
John Herriott to have the council take
action on the matter, and name COM
mittee to make an examination of the
books and records of the Office of the
clerk, was defeated by the remaining
mem bers of the council. A resolution
providing for such an examination
was turned down by Governor Shaw,
Secretary of State Dobson and Auditor
Merriam, and instead, substitute
resolution was adopted, leaving the
case in the hands of the governor.

NEWS In GENERAL
AMERICANS ARE YET ALIVE.
Two Legations Were Standing on
July 3.

Two Legations Were Standing on
July 8.
WAsHINGoN, July S.--A cablegram
to the state department from the con-
sui general, dated Shanghai, July z,
says that two of the foreign legations
were standing on July 3. The recent
attack of the Boxers had been slight.
They seemed disposed to adopt the
starvation method. .....,
LONDON, July s.-There is nothing
in the few dispatches received last
night to add to the ray of hope regard
ing the fate of the legations at Pekin
shed by yesterdays dispatches from
Washington, and messages from other
sources indicating that the legations
were still standing on July and that
recent attacks by Boxers had been
slight. News from other points was
distinctly disquieting. A report from
Chez Foo dated July z. says that a
Catholic bishop, two priests and two
nuns have been murdered. A report
from Moukden, dated July 5, says that
a Danish mission at Hin Yung has
been Surrounded by Boxers. Accord
ing to the report, it would be possible
to hold out only two days. A party
of Cossacks, residents of Moukden,
and the British consul, had started
for the relief of those beseiged at the
Danish mission. The situation at
Tien Tsin on July is said to have
been most serious Japanese and
Russian forces are said to have been
burrying there from Taku, but accord
ing to some accounts, mutual distrust
exists between the allies.

EMPEROR SUICIDED.
Prince Tuan Compels Him and the
Empress to Take Poison.

SHANGHAI, July emperor Kwang
Su committed suicide by taking opium
under compulsion of Prince Tuan on
June 10. The empress dowrger also
took poison but was still alive though
reported insane from the effects of the
drug. The above has been reported to
the German consular staff.
LONDON, July GA dispatch received
from Shanghai dated July 4 announ-
ced that the British legation at
Picking with 1000 refugees, was still
safe when the message was sent.
PARIS, July 6.-The French consul
at Che Foo telegraphs that a China
man who left Picking June 25 reports
that all the ministers and residents
were then assembled at the British
legation, and the German, French and
japanese legations were guarded by
their own detachments The other
legations, the custom house and mis-
sions had been burned. The foreign
troops had lost six mea killed and six
wounded, including the commander Of
the British detachment.
LONDON, July 6.-The oft repeated
story of the massacre of all the whites
in Picking is being retold with cir
cumstantiality that almost convinces
those who have hitherto refused to
credit the sickening tales. The only
hopeful feature of the evil news is the
fact that it comes from Chinese
sources at Shanghai, but it is realized
that even il the tragedy has not yet
been enacted, 1t cannot long be delay
ed unless help comes from unknown
sources. Even the holding of Tier
Tsin against the overwhelming hordes
now seems to be very remote posi-
bility, while the safety of the other
treaty ports is seriously threatened.
