Demurrer Filled by STATE In Mandamus
Case Ia Overruled.

Case la OveFfuieu.
Des Moines, Aug. 29.-1udge s. +.
Prouty has overruled the demurrer OF
Milton Remley, on behalf of the state
board of medical examiners, to the
petition Of c. T.. Parsons, OF Eagle
Grove, for writ of mandamus COM
polling the board TO issue him a certl-
ficate to practice osteopathy IN iowa,
under the osteopathic state law.
This is a great victory for the 5. ).
still C.4Iege Of Osteopathy, OF Des
Moines. 1t compels the state TO just
ifv and defend its refusal to grant
these certificates. Its demurrer to
Parsons petition set up two reasons.
One was the alleged unconstltutlon-
atty of the osteopathic law; the
other was the claim that the board
of medical examiners is the sole ar
bitter of the administration of the
law. The court overruled the motion
based on these grounds. and 1t is
doubtful if the board in view OF that
adverse ruling, will carry the case
farther or even appeal from Judge
Prouty's decision.
Practically, therefore. the petition
will give the graduates of ;. ;. Sun
College right to the state cert1-
Gates. 1t is true that they can al
ready lawfully practice osteopathy in
Iowa. Now they will come under
state sanction and administration.

COLOMRIA'S FOREIGN POLICY.
Desires No Disruption of Friendly Rela"
tiOns Abroad.


New York, Aug. 3O.-The Associated
Press has received the following dis
patch, dated Bogota, August "a. from
"a Colombian official or high rank:
General Pedro d. Ospino, acting
minister of war, who has prepared an
excellent and extensive plan Of cam,
paign, confirms the reports that with
in the last fifteen days he has des-
1royed nearly all of the Colombian
guerrillas. The government of Coll
cn:'b;a has maintained strict neutral
ity regarding Ecuador and Venezuela,
knowing the fact that the govern
mentS of the said countries have up
held and effectively aided rebels Of
of Colombia, thus prolonging the rev
olution in this country. Recently the
revolutionary chiefs of Colombia have:
met on the frontier of Venezuela to.
organize new inyasions of Colombia,
using the munitions of war accumu-
lated by the government of Venezuela;
on her frontiers. The party Of Vene
Zuelass, surrounded near Cucula. are
about to return to their country.
They are commanded by DR.. Ranged
Garbiras. The position taken by the.
government of Colombia is one Of
peace and neutrality. These are fun
damsntal in her foreign policy. The
frontiers of Colombia are sufficiently.
defended. Colombia feels certain that
she can maintain her rights and re-
pei whatever foreign invasions may
offer.

Diplomatic Relations Between France
and Turkey Finally Broken.
Paris, Aug. 2S.--A semi-official note
has been issued, announcing that the
porte, not having carried out Its I'M
rlertakings with regard to the dis-
puted questions between the French
and Ottoman governments, NJ. Con-
STAINS, the French ambassador, act
ing under instructions from the Tor
eign minister of France, left Con-
stantinople August goth, the date
named in his last communication to
the porte on the subject. An arrange
ment had been effected August II and
its terms drafted by the Ottoman
minister with the approval Of the SUI
tan. who had promised NJ. Constans
that the text should be handed to
him August 18th. NJ. Constans tele-
graphed to Paris August 10Th that
none of the promises had been full
filled. and NJ. Del Case, minister OF
foreign affairs. August goth, tele-
| graphed NJ. Constans that, in view of
so fragrant n disregard of the under
| takings the negotiations could no
longer be continued. and required Nj.
Constans to inform the porte that he
had received orders to leave Con-
stantinople. On August 30 Nj. Con-
STAINS communicated with the porte,
fixing August 2G as the date for his
departure, and as the engagements
were still unkept, NJ. Constans left
Constantinople August 26. With the
departure of NJ. Constans the rela-
tons between France and Turkey
may be regarded as broken off. Munir
Bey. the Turkish ambassador to
France, has been telegraphed to not
return to Paris.
Washington. August est is
feared in official circles here that the
withdrawal of the French amba ssador
from Constantinople marks the dis
solution of the concert of European
powers under which the integrity of
Turkey was guaranteed. BY treaty of
Berlin all the great powers sub
scribed to an agreement to refrain
from any act that would tend to the
destruction of the Ottoman empire.
This action was taken to forestall
what were conceived to be the designs
of Russia to seize on Turkish terri
tory. and Russia herself was led to
subscribe to the agreement by force
of circumstances. Although several
times severely strained, notably by
such events as the last war between
Turkey and Greece, this pact has so
far endured without amendment, but
it is apprehended now that if the ac-
ton of France is carried out to the
! extreme indicated in the dispatches.
each of the other signatory powers
vii! feel obliged in self-protection to
disregard the agreement and press
upon Turkey the vast financial and
other claims that have accumulated
| in the past quarter of a century, with
a result Of disrupting the present
Turkish government.

City's Military Force Will he Increased
by Four Compan mics of L. fantrX.

Manila, Aug. 2s.-In the city Of Ma.
Mia there are now less than 1000 eff
fective soldiers and it has been de-
cided to increase this number by four
companies of infantry. The reason
for the increase is that the guard
duty is too heavy for the present
force. There is. moreover, a feeling
that, although there is no prospect
of trouble. in the event of an uprising
such as is always possible among the
Malays. it would be better to have
a sufficient body Of troops available
General Chaffee says he considers the
city of Manila to be perfectly orderly
and he can see no prospect of an up
rising. Many army officers say they
are eratited at the increase in the
military force. They think that. with
the military guard withdrawn from
the prison. another uprising might
result in the release of about 1880
prisoners.
