The pharmacy commission is a
profitable one for the state. This year
1T wills turn into the state treasury
about $4,000 net, as the result of its
operations. No other commission is so
profitable to the state.
1t is probable that the new volume
of the school laws of Iowa will omit
the note in regard to the ruling of an
attorney general many years ago to the
effect that county superintendent can
not exchange work or practically depu-
tie one another for special purposes.
The school laws state that teacher
can not be examined in one county and
the papers be sent to the county where
she intends to teach. At the confer
ences of county superintendent it was
discovered that nearly all the superin-
tendents ignore the provision, and this
is done in the interest of the teachers.
But in these days of telephones ana
rapid transportation, where conditions
nave changed materially from those of
only few years ago, 1t is probable
that the rulings of the state depart-
ment will be changed in this matter.
The blanks for the telephone reports
are being sent out by the auditor OF
state. More than 600 of them are being
sent out. which illustrates the rapid
growth of the telephone business in the
state. The bill to change this work
from the auditors Office to the office
of secretary of the executive council
failed of passage.

POTATO ALCOHOL.
Emperor William Encourages It's Use
as a Fuel.

Berlin, April 24.-Emperor William
is showing extraordinary interest in
motors in which potato alcohol is used
as fuel.
While the emperor was on his re-
cent excursion on the North German
Lloyd steamer KroEprinz Wilhelm in
the North Sea, he obtained a promise
from Herr Wiegand, general director of
the North German Lloyd Company, to
equip the harbor boats at Bremerhaven
with spirit motors.
His majesty then sent a wireless in
curry to the Hamburg American Steam
Packet Company asking them what
they would do in the circumstances.
In two hours the Hamburg American
Company replied that they would do
the same thing.
The emperor mentioned the motors to
to Herr Krupp last Sunday at Meppen,
where he witnessed tests of new guns.
Herr Krupp ordered that an alcohol en-
gine be put in service in shifting guns
at Meppen.
Last Sunday at Hanover where the
emperor went to witness the unveilfng
of a monument erected in honor of
General Won Rosenberg, his majesty
commanded Commercial Councillor
Koerting to appear in audience before
him. Emperor William then talked for
half an hour upon the great future Of
alcohol as a fuel for motors.
Again and again the sovereign re-
peated his intention to smooth the way
wherever he could do so for the in
dustrial application of alcohol. Upon
reaching the railroad station at Berlin
early Monday morning the emperor
sent telegram to the chairman of the
alcohol association announcing Herr

COLOMBIAN CANAL TREATY.
Tentative Agreement by Which United
States Is to Secure Concession.

Tentative Agreement by Which Onteeo
States Is to Secure Concession.
Washington, April 24.-There have
been recent communication between
Secretary Hay and the Colombian min
lister, Mr.. Concha, containing the bases
of an agreement between the two coun-
tries in the event congress should au-
thorize the construction OF canal
across the isthmus of Panama. The
first of these communications was from
the Colombian minister and contained
propositions of his government to the
terms, concessions, grants, compensa-
tions, ETC., on which Colombia would
consent to the construction of the ca
nal, in reply to which Secretary Hay
transmitted memorandum of hy-
pothetical and conditional nature as
to what this government would do in
the event that congress authorized the
president to act The secretary's
memorandum was sent to Minister
Concha yesterday The purpose Of the
communications was to remove room
for doubt as to what each government
would do if canal was directed to be
built.
The following authorized statement
concerning the propositions of Colom-
bia as they stand amended was made
public yesterday.
The United States is granted exclus-
i've right to construct, operate and
protect canal, as we'll as all railroads,
telegraph and telephone lines and aux
iliary works within the zone.
The zone is six miles wide and in
cludes the islands of Flamisco. Naos
and Perico in Panama bay. 1t is to be
under the joint judicial control OF the
United States and Colombia.
Colombia gives unqualified consent
to the sale and transfer of the Pana-
ma Canal company's rights to the
United States and exempts the latter
country from all taxes, import duties.
etc.
These grants to the United States a
lease of the canal strip in perpetuity.
For convenience, it is divided into per-
iods of 100 years, renewals at the option
of the United States. Colombia asks
for lump payment of $700O,00O after
the exchange of ratifications to be con-
sidered as ION account" For fourteen
years Colombia valves all compensa-
ton for the canal rights. This period
will more than cover the time of con-
struction. At the end of the fourteen
year period the annual compensation
which the United States shall pay
thereafter shall be determined by
board of five commissioners. The fact
that Colombia has asked no compensa-'
ton for the first fourteen years, and
that the United States has advanced
$4,000, 900 ION account" will both be
taken into consideration In fixing the
annual rental thereafter.
