has been in close communication with
MI. Conger, our minister at sPekin,
and the navy is doing It's share, hav--
ing placed the flagship Newark as far
mp the Pei Ho river as tlls Takn forts,
which is the nearest p''nt to Pekin
chat the ship can reach. The oper-.
ations Of the .sBoxers" are increasing
in magnitude. Their demonstrations
are no longer local J, and they appear
to be governed in the movements by
some well settled design. They have
murdered nine Methodist ministers in
one province, at the town of Pachow.
and have closed in on Pexin. Mean
while, the Chinese army is suspected
OF disloyalty, this belief being
strengthened by wholesale assertions
Of the army to the boxers. ]" Minis
ter Conger has appealed to the state
department for the protection Of a
marine guard for his legation. The
department has promptly cabled him
an authorization to. call upon the
nearest United States vessels for as
sistance The embarrassing feature
of the situation is the cutting of the
communication by rail between Taku
and Tien Tsin and the capital, for the
Boxers" have burned the railroad
bridges. and there are probably only
two courses open to the marines who
wish to reach Pekin-a long overland
march, through hostile country,
away from supports, or tedious voy-
age up the swift and shallow Pei Ho
in shore boats in tow of steam launch
es. According to report, the Chinese
government has done every thing In
its power to meet the demands of the
diplomatic body at Pekin for the dis.
persion of the Boxers" but it appears
that the uprising is far more serious
than was at first apprehended, and
even the resident ministers at Pekin
are inclined to admit that the task is
not an easy one for the Chinese gov

DEs MONIES, May 80. Word has been
received at the state house that recent
" . delega ton Of Dubuque business
men and representatives Of the Du-
buque press visited the Allamakee iron
mines, located near Waukon. The OBJ
1ect OF the visit was to ascertain3 II ore
really does exist there in as large
quantities as reported. The Dubuque
men say they we're not disappointed in
their researches and that the reports
OF the find have not been exaggerated.
From one of the qnarries 100 tons have
been taken out and sold. The ore has
an average depth of sixty feet, and at
no place has it been necessary to strip
the earth more than a few feet. The
Waukon Iron Company has purchased
an area of $50 acres, which it is be-
lieved contains at least fifteen millions
tons Of ore. 1t is believed by many
that the ore lies on q fat lead lime
stone, and il this is the case every hill
is q mass Of ore, for all over the surface
it crops out, and pits have been dug on
the surrounding hills. The Waukon
Iron Company is DESTROYS of interest
ing Dubuque capital in the construc-
ton of blasting furnace at Dubuque,
and for this purpose have been in com
with the business Mems
League for some time past.

CHARGES AGAINST JONES.
Grave Allega lions Against the Clerk of
the Supreme Court

Grave Allegations Against the Clerk Of
tile Supreme Court.
DIES MONIES, June Charges of
misrepresentation of state fees have
been made against c. I. Jones, clerk
of the supreme court. State Treasur-
er Herriott is the originator Of the
charges, which Mr.. Jones' friends in
sist are grounded in personal ill-will
toward the clerk. tt is charged that
Mr.. Jones has appropriated to his own
use something like $4,000 Of fees col
lected for transcripts of supreme court
opinions. The law provides that these
transcripts, when furnished by the
clerk, shall be charged for at the rate
of 10 cents per 100 words, and that the
proceeds shall be turned into the state
treasury and fully accounted for. Mr..
Jones admits that he has not turned
the fees into the treasury, but explains
that he has failed to do SO simply be-
cause the state appropriation for cler-
ical expenses was not large enough to
pay for making the opinion record, and
the revenues from the sales of copies
have been used to pay for keeping this
record. He claims that the amount
he has received during the four years
and three months involved ex-
ceeds the expenses he has borne by
only about $1,000, and that the legis-
latiye committee on retrencbment and
reform, after fully investigating,
agreed to wipe off the old score, but
told him not to do it again. In order
that it should not be necessary, the
committee increased his clerk hire al
lowance $500 annually. Mr.. Herriot
demands that the entire amount
which has been collected for these fees
be turned over and accounted to the
state, and he has insisted that no
other basis of settlement would be
satisfactory to him.
