WHAT PAUNC[FO|E DID
The Washington Government Ex.
plains and Puts End to "In.
tervention" Controversy
British Ambassado ador's Action Has
been Misiudsed...Austria
Wanted War Stopped.
Pauncefste. As Dean. Sounded
Diplomatic Corps. AGainst
His Own judgment.

Washington, Feb. lin view OF the
statements and contradictions more OF
less official In character, coming from
the principal European capitals re-
snecfinr the altitude of the powers indi-
yidually toward the United States just
preceding the Spanish war, officials
here feel natural reluctance to being
drawn into the controversy. and 1t is
with difficulty that even unofficial
statements can be had on the subject.
one fact remains uncontroverted.
namely, that the European ambassa-
tors and ministers here called upon
President Mckinley April Z, 1888, in an
effort to prevent the war. The matter
now in controversy Is as to what hap
pened after that call and the question
at issue is, as presented in the latest
phase in European dispatches. did Lord
Pauncefote undertake to secure the
support Of other European powers In an
attempt at forcible restraint upon the
United States. Sitting all the facts,
the conclusion is reached here that
Pauncefote's activities In the direction
OF Intervention has been generally mis-
understood. It Is known that the Aus
trian minister was untiring in his eff
forts in behalf of Spain. The United
States government never cherished the
least Ill feeling on that score, realizing
that blood lies between the Austrian
and Spanish reigning houses sufficiently
to have excused such attitude. In the
course of these efforts Mr.. Hengelmul-
Ter turned to Pauncefote. as dean of the
corps, and sought to have him see what
measure Of support could be secured for
another more forcible representation to
the United States as to the undesirable
ity of war. Pauncefote was confident
Z sst no such proposition would carry,
bN he yielded so far to the application
OF the Austrian minister as to submit
his proposition to other representatives
of the European powers, The result
justified Pauncefote's judgment of the
outcome. and 1t probably was the In
duiries he made In this proceeding, and
not an yproposition originating with
himself. that led to the reports from
ministers and ambassadors here to Eu-
ropean chancellories.

SWITCHMEN's STRIKE
Trouble on the Northern Pacific Is
Growing and Promises to Assume a
Grave Aspect.

Missoula, Mont. Feb. 1.-THE
switchmen's strike, which was inaugu-
rated here yesterday in the yards of the
Northern Pacific railway, has assumed
a grave aspect, and unless the officials
of the company recede from the posi-
ton they have taken strike along the
entire system is probable. Last night
the night switching crew. out of SYM
pathy for the day men, quit work, and
conductors and brakemep have refused
to handle any trains unless the switch
ing is done by regular crews. The cause
of the trouble was the discharging of
two men who refused to work with a
road engine without sideboard attach
ments. The switchmen declare they
are violating the state law in complying
with the order of the railway company.
The statute in question provides that
train men and yard men who are in
jured while working in the yards on an
engine without sideboard are alone held
responsible for such injuries, and can
collect no damages from the company.

passed reasonably early now the senate
| will he forced to consider the bill and
| not let 1T die in the hands of sitting
committee.
The vote of yesterday afternoon In
/ the house to adjourn on March 20 is not
causing any worry on the part of per-
sons who have planned to stay In Des
Moines until April. The resolution
went thru unanimously. Such resolu-
tions are common at this stage of the
proceedings. Ii the senate passes the
resolution It will attach string to 1t
land In due time have the matter consfd-
cred 1t would be out of all question TO
| have the work of legislation done by
that time. Practically nothing has as
yet been accomplished. and to think OF
ladiourning within less than five weeks
| Is preposterous. The vote was regarded
by every one as only q bluff to hasten
the work at this time.
The bill to require that the county
| treasurer shsl keep book in which he
shall record the apportionment of taxes
each month is dead in the senate. The
committee on cities and towns did It,
The bill to permit state and savings
banks to loan their money outside of
Iowa passed the house. but it could cas-
ily have been defeated had their been
a fight made on the bill. Mr.. Dunham
gave only hint of the objection which
would be raised to the bill. These inStf-
tutions are put before the people as
strictly savings banks and not in any
sense investment companies given to
speculation. But this bill proposed that
they shall be allowed to put the money
of their depositors into land in states
where one or two crop failures would
mean utter ruin. There is great ten
dency to look north and west for invest
ment of funds. This bill opens the way
for savings banks to do this thing. But
nobody felt like making fight on the
bill The bankers have become little
sensitive from the fact that several of
their bills have been savagely attacked.
Members do not desire to defeat bills
simply because they are favored by the
banks.
The heads of the ways and means
committees of the two houses have been
consulting together and have practical
ly agreed that no matter what the ap-
preparations may be 1t will be the duty
of this legislature to provide all the
revenue that will be needed to meet
these appropriations. In other words,
it is desired that nothing shall be left
over for another legislature to meet.
The present state levy is 2.6 mills on
the dollar Mr.. Temple estimates that
an increase to mills on the dollar
would bring in at least q quarter mil
lion more each year. That may all be
needed of the legislature is to make the
appropriations desired. And IL it is
needed the members say the legislature
should have the courage to make the
levy and see that the state pays as it
goes along. A 8 mill state levy is not
regarded as excessive as compared with
the levies in other states.
Bills to purchase Pillsbury Point, or
that part of the land occupied by the
Abbie Gardner Sharp cabin and her
historical relics, have been introduced.
The bills carry an appropriation of So

SAFE BLOWERS AT sALlx.
Door of Depot Safe Blown Off, But No
Cash Secured.

Salix. Feb. 1.-THE safe blowing in
dustry in this section has revived some
what. but without any particular bene-
fit to the blowers.
Early yesterday morning, probably in
the vicinity of 2 o'clock, the safe in the
Northwestern Railway Company's de-
pot at this place lost door, but none of
its contents was reached. There is no
indication as to what sort of operators
may have undertaken the job, but the
small possibility of anything much in
the way of haul and the crude work
that was done both raise the suspicion
that they were rank amateurs.
Nov. safe crackers visited Salix.
They blew open the safe in the bank,
but failed to get anything Of value.

PRETORIA, Wednesday, June lin all
10,225 Beers have surrendered up to date.
Many are youngsters OF eleven years old
and upward. The majority of them are I'M
der thirty, though some of the burghers
who have surrendered are septuagenarans
Reports from all the districts say that the
burghers are increasingly friendly. The
only bitterness observable among the lead
ing Beers here is against France and Ger
many. They declare the war was protract-
ed unnecessary owing to hopes held out
by the French and German press.
Some Of the Beers are so incensed that
they have expressed the hope that some
day they will fight on the side of the British
against one of these powers.
The anticipated friction between the sur
rendered Beers and their former comrades
OF the national scouts has not materialized
to any extent. The Beers admit they re-
ceived ammunition through Portuguese ter
ritory.
