TO CONFER At PEKINa.
Ministers of Power will Discuss Termi
With Ii and Ching.


Picking, Feb. AT a general meet
ing of the foreign ENJOYS it was de-
cided to hold joint meeting of the
ENJOYS and the Chinese plenipoten-
tiaries next week.
Nothing has been definitely ar
ranged regarding the punishments,
and opinions are much divided. some
favoring drastic measures, like be-
heading the majority of those consid-
cred especially responsible, particu-
larly Prince Tuan, who next to the
empress dowager is considered the
principal culprit, but others, acting
under instructions from their govern
ments, advocate nominal punish
ments like Punishment.
1t is generally recognized that all
the foreign ENJOYS, with the possible
exception of NJ. de Giers, the Rus
sian minister, personally believe leni-
ency would be a great mistake, con-
sidering the Interpretation the Chi
nese would put upon it.
Lii Hung Chang is anxious that the
joint meeting should be held at his
house, owing to his state of health.
The Germans have sent an expedi-
ton, consisting of one battery of ar
tillery and one regiment of infantry,
to some point westward. They re-
fuse all information and declined to
allow correspondents to accompany

TITUS AMENDMENT DEAD
Supreme Court Affirms Dewey's
Decision.

Des Moines, Feb. 1.-The supreme
court handed down an opinion in the
Titus amendment case yesterday,
holding that the amendment is in
valid because of the failure to record
it in full in the journal of the house
OF the Twenty-seventh general as
sembly.
Owing to this slight technical error
the people of Iowa cannot have bien-
NAL elections for at least four years,
in spite of the fact that an amend
ment to the constitution to secure
them passed by an overwhelming ma
jcrity in November.
The supreme court follows the de-
cision in the case of Koehlcr VS..
LANCE, holding that the issue was
clearly raised then and that in it, the
prohibitory amendment case, it was
held that an amendment must be
recorded in full in the journals of
both houses.
Owing to this conclusion the ques-
ton of the Interpretation of the
amendment is not considered.
The conclusion, therefore, ex-
pressed by this court in the, Koehler
case is not dictum, but is decision"
the anu we MUS I
either follow it or overrule it. We
consider that inasmuch as it involves
the construction of our own consti-
tuition and has been recognized for
many years as making definite aud
certain the method to be pursued in
amending the constitution, it should
he followed. And in conclusion. with
reference to that case, we consider
that it is not for us to determine
that of the two questions involved,
relating to the method OF amending
the constitution, one only was re-
garded as decided, while the other
was simply discussed. The conclus-
ion of the court as to either one OF
these two questions would have de.
termined the case, and one con.
clusion is as binding upon us as the
other.
Therefore, following the decision
of the court in the Koehler case, we
hold that the proposed amendment
not having been entered upon the
journal of the house of the Twenty.
seventh general assembly was not
proposed and adopted as required by
our constitution and has not become
a part thereof.
This conclusion makes it unneccs-
sary to discuss the Interpretation OF
the language of the amendment, and
leads to the result that relator is en-.
titled to the Office which he claims
The case is entitled State of low,
ex rel Marsh w. Baily VS.. S. w

The action was brought in Washing
ton county by Marsh w. Baily, coun-
ty attorney-elect, to GUST his prede-
cessor, S. w. Brookhart, who held

amendment all state offices not ex.

idity of the amendment. Judge A.

law invalid. On appeal this opinion is
sustained.

100000 DUE THE STATE.
Senator Lothrop Holds Government Owes
This Sum.

Des Moines, Jan. Ex-senator j. S
Lothrop of Sioux City presented to
the executive council yesterday his
reasons for believing the state could
collect from the federal government
the interest on the money paid out
by the state in the time of the civil
war in the equipment of troops. The
sum to which the state is entitled
according to Senator Lothrop, is
$500, 900, and he seeks to be appointed
as agent to make the collection on a
commission. The members ot~,he ex-
ecutive council are convinced the
state has a claim against the govern
ment, and steps toward the collection
will be taken.
The question that hampered pro-
ceedings yesterday was whether the
executive council had the power, or
the governor, to name an agent to
press the claim for the interest. Sch
ator Lothrop was unable to answer
this question, but he will commune
cate with the council later, either di-
rectly or in writing, after looking
into the law on this subject. Cover
nor Shaw and Attorney General Null
len will take up this phase of the
matter and determine what are the
rights of the state as to the claim,
what the exact amount is and wheth-
err an agent can be appointed to un-
dertake the active work of collection.

L. 8. Conn of Fort Dodge to Establish
One at "wIliow edge
Fort Dodge, Feb. 4.-Hon. L. S. Cof-
fin, known throughout the United
States by his efforts to improve the
conditions of railway employees, has

tablish a home for prisoners dis

tain the movement inauguratei by

stitution to be located at or near
Fort Dodge, Iowa, for the purpose OF
providing a temporary home for dis
charged or paroled prisoners for a
limited time. This corporation shall
have full power to purchase or re-
ceive gifts or requests of real or per-
sonal property, and assumes to itself
all rights, duties and privileges mel

oners, Immediately upon leaving the
penitentiary, will be welcomed here

TAX ON PENSIONERS.
Collection Being Contested In waPeno
County.

Ottumwa, Feb. IA new law point
which is of exceeding interest to the
better paid class of pensioners
throughout the nation is raised in
suit brought here in which Calvin
Manning, who was one of the United
States commissioners to the Paris
exposition is plaintiff and County
Treasurer John ii. Spry and Wapello
county are the defendants. In short,
the question is, eau pension money
lie taxed? The plaintiff is guardian
for John Schwabkey, an insane per-
son, who served through the war of
the rebellion, and who, on account
of his total disability, draws pen
sion of $72 per month. In 1894 the
plaintiff, for his ward, received $11.24t
as back and accrued pension, and
some time during January Treasurer
Spry levied upon such moneys as
were held by the plaintiff in 1898.
1896, 1897, 1898, 1899 and 1900, the
total tax for that time amounting
to 81, 1Ol SO, and this sum now appears
on the tax books as against said
plaintiff and his ward, who brought
suit as stated under the provisions
of section 4747 of the revised statutes
Of the United States for the year
1878, and it is especially prayed by
the plaintiff that he be granted alb
solute immunity against the assess
ments and leyies for the past, pres
and henceforth. 1t is also pleaded
that under the laws of Iowa said
moneys and the credits are exempt
from taxation.
