IOWA BIENNIAL ELECTIONS
Suit Begun to Test the Validity of the
Amendment.

Suit Begun to Test the Validity of the
Amendments.
DIES MONIES, Dec. 31.-Through the
consent Of Attorney General Remley
of this state action has been begun in
the district court of Washington county
to determine the validity of the bien-
NAL constitutional amendment adopted
at the election in November. The
amendment provides that all state,
county and township officers holding
terms which expire in 1901 shall be ex-
tended for one year. 1t should have
read in 1902 and was SO intended by
the authors of the measure, they going
upon the basis that all terms expire on
the 3lst Of each December, while as a
matter Of fact they expire on the first
Monday i'll January. Many local suits
have been brought by officials who de.
sire to hold their Offices, basing their
claims upon the wording of the amend.
ment. The attorney general maintains
that the intent Of the legislature should
hold good and for that reason prepared
the complaint in the suit.

Former Secretary of War Bitterly At. !.
tacks General Miles.
NEW YORK, Dec. 29.-The North
American Review. in its next issue,
will contain an article on ''The Food OF
the Army During the Spanish War;
By Former Secretary of War Russell A.
Alger. The article is defense Of Gen
eral Eagan's management of the com.
missary department and bitter attack
on General Miles, whose conduct in
connection with the "embalmed beef"
inquiry is characterized as inexcusable,-
unsoldiery and scandalous. The Ian.
guage Of General Eagan's attack on
General Miles, while admitted to be
extravagant and highly improper, is
excused on the ground that his health
was impaired by overwork and anxiety.
In regard to the charges made by Gen.
erel Miles the ex.secretary claims that
it improper food was furnished the
army under General Shafter, he
General Miles, was responsible for it.,
as he was at Tampa, Fla, when the
expedition started and should have
seen to it that every thing was in the
best possible shape. In conclusion ex-
Secretary Alger says:
''The army had won its battles in
Cuba and the Philippines; Porto Rico
had peacefully come into our hands af-
ter few skirmishes, the protocol had
been in operation for over four months
and the
Treaty of Peace Had Been Signed
at Paris. Then comes the major gen.
eral commanding the army of the
United States with his charges. While
the allegations of General Miles were
not based upon fact and were con.
clusively disproved by two separate
tribunals, unimpeachable in their com.
position and methods of investigation,
the irreparable damage had been done.
A brave, honest and faithful officer,
suffering under the lash of such cruel,
unwarranted and unjustified imputa.
tons, while exonerated from the heavy
odium Of these charges, was, as re-
suit OF them, sacrificed on the altar OF
his own passion, righteous in it's exist.
ence but inexcusable in it's expression.
Besides this a false impression had
been created throughout the country
as to the food furnished the army
which may never be removed. The
charges of General Miles, twice proven
false in spirit and substance, are
therefore, the more heinous in then
effect. Yet the present congress pro
! noted General Miles to be lieutenant
general and has thus far failed to give
to General Shafter the rank of majo1
general to retire upon in his old age
t aid this after his magnificent cam
palgn at Santiago, as we'll as his for
mer distinguished services"

LONDON, Jan. 1.-The Beers have
now reached point half way between
the Orange river and Cape Town, and,
In spite Of optimism Of the London
press, the government announcement
at Cape Town shows how seriously the

The only thing that really touches
