FRANCE is MADE HAPPY.
Delighted with the Successful Man-
euvers of the New Submarine
Boat, the Gustave Zede.

The submarine boat Gustave Zede
has sent a thrill of joy through all
France by her feat in striking the
great battleship Jaureguiberry with
Dumont torpedo without her APP
proach being suspected.
1t was in the harbor of Abaccio, Cor
sica, that the crucial test took place.
The officers of the warship, though on
the lookout for the Gustave Zede, did
not know she was near till she rose
to the surface and signaled that a
torpedo was attached to the giants
hull far under water.
Paris is in ecstasies. "Where now
is Britain's boosted naval supremacy"
is asked on every hand. 1t is added
that there is evidence that frances
navy is the most dreadful and power
full in the world.
The Gustave Zede is one of long list
of submarine boats-how long it is
impossible to say, for the French gov
eminent has been careful to guard
this secret. 1t is fact that France
has been arming herself ever since
the Fashoda affair, just after the
jameson raid. 1t is certain that France
would not and could not stand another
humiliation at the hands of the Brit
ish, who are duly aware of it.
These submarine boats have raised
the confidence of the French people
to a high pitch and they look with
equanimity upon the fast growing
number and size of Britain's warships,
feeling confident that their submarine
boats can knock holes in all of them.
The English papers make a joke Of
the feat of the Gustave Zede, remark
ing that sin the event of a war with
Britain the whole French fleet would
be submarine in short order"

ROMEO USED TO THE CITY.
New York Man Around Crowded
Streets Like a Pet Dog.

A young man with sheep that fol-
lowed him like, pet dog attracted
attention on Broadway, near Forty
second street, New York city, the 9TH
er afternoon. The sheep, which was
full grown, wore collar, and, al
though undismayed by the crowds,
seemed to take considerable interest
in his surroundings. The young man
and his novel pet walked down to
Thirty-fourth street and turned
across toward Eighth avenue. The
sheep was evidently used to the bus
tie and confusion, and deity picked
its way through the mass of cable
cars, carriages and other vehicles
with as much unconcern as dog
would have done. The young man
said:
II am much attached to Romeo,
who is faithful and accompanies me
wherever ! go. I raised him myself,
and l would not part with him for
anything, ! live in fiat up town, and
the neighbors are used to Romeo and
think almost as much of him as I
do"

for the year. 1t is as follows, directed
to the governor, who is chairman of the
geological board.
/ have the honor to report that the work
of the Iowa geological survey for the field
season for 1901 is already begun, the nves-
legations being directed along the lines
which you have previously approved The
first object of the survey is to complete a
detailed geographical map of the state and
to ascertain definitely and thoroughly the
character and distribution of the states
geological resources. The corps Of men
whose previous work for the survey has
been attended with SO much satisfaction
and success is retained for the present year.
These men, by reason of long training and
experience, are able to take up the prob
lens assigned to them not only more sue
cessfully, but more eXpeditiously and more
economically than would be possible with
new men to this field.
Prof Norton, owing to other engage
ments, will limit his work for the survey
during the present season to the collection
of data respecting deep wells

of the way, DIR. "A. G. Leonard will take up
work in Wapello county.
These three counties lie In the very CEN

Prof. Savage will work in Tama.
Prof. Macbride vii continue his studies
of the area covered with the Wisconsin

the limits of the Wisconsin drift in the area
investigated will, for the first time, be
definitely ascertained.

that in case the revenues of China
are not sufficient for the payment
of interest and principal, the powers
are to examine the revenues and de-
termine what changes are necessary
In order to supply the deficiency.
The imperial maritime customs are
to be included in this arrangement.
The British minister is satisfied with
this arrangement and the whole
question of financial measures is
therefore settled. The 450,0O0,o0O
taels, constituting the indemnity,
are to be converted into gold at the
equivalent of the tael value on the
first of last April. In case the i'm
post duties are subsequently, in
creased, the free list will have to
be abolished except for cereals, but
it is understood that compensation
will in that case be asked for, prob
ably the financial participation of
China in improving the water ap-
proaches of Shanghai and Tientsin.
All the other principal points of the
negotiations are now settled, and it
is expected that the results will be
summarized in the final protocol
within two weeks and that all the
powers will become signatories.
Payment to United States.
In connection with the indemnity
payments question has arisen
whether the United States govern
ment will take it's share of the bonds
to be issued by China in American
gold or in pounds sterling. The dis
position of this government is to
take the money in the form that will
be the least burdensome to the Chi
nese government, and in the interest
of uniformity it is probable that the
payments will be made in pounds
sterling.

having to break the bulk of the cargo
between interior terminal ports of dis
