Sioux City, Ia, Feb. 11.--Prompt
and active work by the authorities at
Manila, Ia, has resulted in the arrest
of three men who are supposed to be
implicated in the thief, of United
States express snfe that contained $40,-
GOO. Their names are John Jackson,
John Stovall and Charles Hayes. The
Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul train,
on which the safe was taken from
Sioux City, arrived at Manila at sos
p. m. Saturday. The Omaha train was
late, and the express safe, with other
articles, was unloaded and placed on a
truck on the station platform, and then
Express Messenger Sturtevant and the
baggageman went to the other end of
the platform to get another truck load.
Thieves Carried or the Safe.
When Sturtevant returned henoticed
that the articles on the truck were dis
arranged, and glance showed that
the iron box was gone. No time was
lost in spreading the alarm. City
Marshal Terrell hastily assembled a
posse and vigorous work was begun.
Snow lay thick upon the ground, and
1t did not take long to discover the
tracks Of two persons, who evidently
, had been carrying some heavy OBJ
ject. They carried the safe distance
of about two blocks and then loaded it
into wagon, which had been left
+. there in waiting. The wagon was
| driven about a mile and half out
!, into the country, and there the safe
| was forced open and the contents were

( While the robbery undoubtedly was

NEGOTIATIONS WITH THE CHINESE
Decree Recently Published Pleads for tho
Life of General.

Picking, Feb. THE foreign minis
tiers yesterday morning gave out for
publication secret imperial edict
handed to them Tuesday by the Chi
nese peace plenipotentiaries. which
pleads especially for the life of Tung
Flu Slang, ommander-ln-chief Of the
army. 1t says the only reason is on
account of the turbulent population Of
the province of Shen 81 and Kan Su,
who are devoted to him and might
rise and commit acts Of violence
against the missionaries and Christians
which the court would greatly deplore.
Consequently his punishment requires
caution, deliberation and careful con-
sideration.
The emperor, 1t is pointed out, even
in the punishment of princes of the
blood, has not been moved by motives
for their protection. Why then, should
he do SO in the case of Tung Flu Slang?
What had already been done should
be taken into consideration. His army
had been reduced to 5000 men with
the object of lessening his power and
with the ultimate object Of his future
! punishment, which will be promulgated
in an edict, the language Of which
will not be too patent. After the de-
privation of his official rank the en-
peror will hereafter decide on heavy
punishment

in the House.
Washington, Feb. THE senate
passed the military academy and war
tax reduction bills yesterday. A night
session was held to debate the snip
subsidy bill, but the debate was on
any and everything else but that par
ticular bill, and adjournment was TAX
en- at IL p. m. without particle"of
progress being made
The house considered the postoface
appropriation bill all day without &C.
ton, except to agree to close the de-
bate today at 1890 p. IN.
Washington, Feb. S.-The senate
yesterday passed the pension appro-
priation bill without debate. 1t ap-
propriates $144, 100000. The ship sub
sidy bill occupied the remainder of the
day and night session. Adjourned at
II p. IN. The feature was the repeat
ed protests of Teller and Jones
against night sessions.
The postoffice appropriation bill, de-
bate on which consumed almost an en-
tire week in the house, was passed yes
terday. Grosvenor and Richardson
were appointed tellers on the part OF
the house to count the electoral vote.
The diplomatic and consular appropri-
alton was taken up, but no action
reached.
Washington, Feb. 9.-An Intellectual
effort was made in the senate yester-
day to secure an agreement upon a
time for n final vote upon the shipping
bill, which was laid aside informally
and the naval appropriation consdd-
cred without action An executive ses-
sion was held, but no night session.
The house passed 1874 private PEN
sion bills and general pension bill
to restore to the pension rolls widows
of soldiers of the rebellion who subse-
quently married and became widowed
or divorced, provided they were mar
ried before the close of the rebellion
and are now dependent upon their own
labor for support.
Washington, Feb. 11.-During al
most the entire session Of Saturday the
senate had under consideration the
naval appropriation bill. Practically
the bill was completed when 1t was
laid aside for the day. EulOgies upon
the late Representative Harmer Of
Pennsylvania concluded the session.
The agricultural appropriation was re-
ported.
Consideration of the diplomatic and
consular appropriation bill in the
house developed something of sensa-
ton when Brown of Ohio, standing in
the center of the Republican side Of
the chamber, made speech strongly
condemning colonial policy and urg-
ing that congress should ut once give
assurance to the Filipinos that the
purpose of the United States was t.
give them independence. He was ap.
plauded by both Republicans ant
Democrats. The diplomatic bill wal
laid aside to permit eulogies upon thu

sey. and Wise, of Virginia.

Judge Seeds Squares Himself on the
Quay Question.

We are blessed to note that person
ally Judge Seeds hassno sympathy with
the ideals of Quayism. In long letter
published in the News last Friday he
fully rights himself, and AYERS that the
prac ices resorted to by such men as
Quay and Clark are detrimental to the
mutton. 1t is indeed a pleasure to
read these assuring statements over the
Judges own signature. We did not
want to believe that our much respect
ed townsman was rejoicing over the
triumph of Qnayism, did not want to
believe that the politics of the national
capital was turning his feet into clay.
But at the same time, we could not
shut our eyes to the evidence which
was before us, nor blot out of re-
collection the special pleading contain
ed in some of the Judges letters writ
ten about the time when Quay was try
ing to break into the Senat. on a
former occasion. 1t may be that strict
ly speaking, the Judge is correct in his
contention that we did not reason cor
rectly when we suspected him of
leaning toward Quayism, but the
average mortal is not inclined to
indulge in discriminating distinc-
tions between writer's news and
his views. Usually the opinions
and desires of a man believed to be
honest, are determined by what he says,
the manner in which he says it, his re-
ferences, his style, the words he uses,
their context, in fact everything which
tends in any way to disclose his
thoughts and feelings.
AT the present time the Judge has
no sympathy with Quayism. 1t is fair
to assume that he never had, at least
he never should have had, but mis-
neglect to say 80 for 80 long time,
and his many ctner sayings from which
different inference might be reason
ably drawn, naturally led to the mis-
understanding
AS far back as April 18th, 1900, we
find this language in one of the Judges
letters, published in the Press:
"The Press is to be condemned for the
error. 1t has editorially insisted
that the Senate ought not to allow such
9 man to have seat in it's body. But
Mr.. Quay's character has nothing to do
with the matter in controversy" These
were unusual assertions for the Judge
to make, but we let them pass without
comment at the time. But when he
wrote home saying that both democrats
and republicans alike down at Wash
ington were glad that Quay had sue
eeeded, we naturally concluded that ne
included himself as a part OF the re-
publican gladness. l: matters not
however, who we're glad, or who re-
joic.d down at Washington, up here IN
Delaware county the friends of Judge
Seeds, democrats as we'll as republicans
are glad to know that he was not part
of the Washington contingent that re-
joiced over the success of wholesale
political dishonesty, or in other words
Quayism.

WEED IS WORTH MILLIONS.
Makes Irvine and Rope a. Good as That of
Hemp,


Creston. Ia, Feb. 7.-State Senator
Clark, of Page county, has made pub
lie way to beat the Irvine combine.
At a farmers institute he displayed q
piece Of Irvine and piece of rope, re-
sembling good quantity of hemp.
These. he explained, were made from
velvet weed. or abutilon, which grows
rankly on almost every farm, and has
been considered a useless weed.
The discovery that the weed could
be thus utilized was made by d. d.
Weir, a farmer living near Clarinda.
Weir discovered the strength of the
fiber of the weed about two months
ago. He picked up few strands from
the ground after they had lain there
rotting since last summer, and found
them very strong They were sepa-
rated into threads as fine as the best
of hemp
