pointed secretary of the treasury, last
night. Probably never in the history
of the state has there been gathered
at any similar function an assemblage
of the distinguished men of the repub-
lican party of the state that could
compare with that which came togeth-

the banquet given in honor of the gov
ernor by the Grant club. fractional

Four hundred guests sat down to the

They were gathered from every cor

HEPBURN BILL is PASSED
ONLY TWO VOTES AGAINST
MEASURE IN THE HOUSE.
Advocates of an Alternative Route
Muster 1o2 Votes as the Maximum
of Their STRENGTH.

Advocates of an Alternative Route
Muster 1902 Votes as the Maximum
Of Their Strength.
Washington. Jan. 9.-Senate.-The
open session of the senate was de-
voted to routine business. After an
executive session the senate, at 1:50.
adjourned until Monday. The senate
in executive session confirmed the
nomination Of Leslie M. Shaw, to be
secretary of the treasury. and of Hon.
G. Payne. to be postmaster general.
House.-The Hepburn Nicaragua
canal bill passed the house by prac-
tically an unanimous vote. Only two
members out of 80 voted against 1t.
Messrs. Fletcher (rep) of Minnesota
and Lassiter (dem.) of Virginia were
the two voting in the negative. The
opposition to committing the govern
ment to the Nicaragua route attempted
to secure amendments to lodge with
the president the discretionary power
to purchase and complete the Panama
canal. II 1t could be purchased for
$40 100000. The test came on the
first vote, when the advocates Of an
alternative route polled 102 votes
against ITO. At each succeeding vote
their strength dwindled until Mr.. Can
non of Illinois, under whose leadership
the fight was made, was unable to get
the ayes and noes on motion to re-
commit. All other amendments failed
and the bill passed exactly as 1t came
from the committee. None Of the
votes except that on the final passage
of the bill was a record vote. The
debate which preceded the taking of
the final vote was made memorable
by clash between Hepburn. author
of the bill. and Cannon. chairman of
the appropriation committee. On sew
eral previous occasions they have
measured swords over canal
legislation. Two years ago similar
bill was passed by vote OF 224 to 80.
Washington, Jan. 10.-House-The
house spent the day considering the
bill to create a permanent census bu-
reau. While the general sentiment
was in favor of permanent bureau.
there was a strong opposition to the
bill as drawn, on the ground that 1t
was not we'll matured. There also
was an overwhelming demand for a
provision to place the present en-
ployes of the census bureau under
the protection of the civil service law,
and the bill finally was recommitted
with instructions to report back a
bill containing a plan for a detailed
organization of a permanent census
bureau and including also a provision
to place the present employees of the
census bureau under the protection of
the civil service. The fight to recon-

A bill was passed unanimously to give

ANOTHER AMERICAN GRAB
CONTROL OF EUROPEAN WATER
WAYS ARE SECURED.
cargos May Now Be Billed Through
From American Inland Ports
to Inland Cities.

London, Jan. 13.-One of the most
important Of American commercial en-
terprises In Europe has Just culmin-
ated here. It consists in the secur-
ing of all water routes for American
cargoes Of grain and other commodi-
ties from inland ports of the United
States to inland ports of Europe. and
embraces the purchase by American
capital Of several British and other
canals.
Frank W. Hawley. vice president of
the Erie Canal Traction company, has
been on this side several months quiet
ly securing concessions for the opera
ton Of European canals by electricity.
The Erie concern today secured con-
troll of about 5000 miles of canals in
England and on the continent. AS a
result cargoes will shortly be shipped
on the same lading from Duluth.
Mimi. to Brussels, Bruges, Client and
Cologne. and later to many points In
the United Kingdom, France Germany
and Italy.
At the forthcoming session Of parlia-
ment the British legislators will be
asked to grant permission for the cree
ton of central power stations for the
propulsion of traffic in at least two
British canals. These will be operated
with American capital, although their
control will nominally remain in Brit
ish hands.

1t would be interesting to hear fur
ther from Prof. Scott on the subject of
hated words in the English language.
In his paper treating of these words,
read before the Modern Language AS
sociation, he said that the word which
he had found. after extensive inquiry,
to be the most hated was women"
while woman" was rated popular.
While there should be this popular dis
elimination between the singular and
plural OF the same word is something
inexplicable to the ordinary mind. un-
less it is based on the same sort of
prejudice as that described by Haw-
thorne, when he tells how likable he
found an Englishman and how unlik-
able he found Englishmen.

RELATIONS BADLY STRAINED.

at NCWCuWdu9s
Picking, Jan. 9.--While the actual
casualties during the fighting at New
cnwang between American sailors be-
longing to the United States gunboat

and Russian soldiers attached to the
garrison of that port. are trifiing up to
date, the matter has resulted In un-
pleasantly strained relations between
the American, Russian and British
authorities there. The Washington
and the st. Petersburg governments
are now endeavoring to arrange mat
tiers so that there may he no further
friction.
The trouble originated in the &C.
ton of some sailors belonging to the
British sloop of war Algerine. also
in winter quarters at Newchwang, in
carrying to shore six rifles for use in
a theatrical performance. The Rus
sian administration sent force Of
men to arrest the British sailors. The
Russians. however, by mistake, broke

the Vicksburg's men were seated
and tried to arrest them. The Ameri.
cans resisted, defending themselves
with chairs. They were overpowered
after a sharp fight. however, and
handed over to the United States con-
sui. who sent them on board the
Vicksburg.
The bad feeling which arose from
this incident resulted in several fights
whenever American or British sailors
net Russian soldiers, and the latter.
not being accustomed to fist fights,
were usually badly worsted. This
condition of affairs eliminated on
New Years day in a more serious

Des Moines, Jan. 13.-Charles Thorn
as OF 1016 Woodland avenue. has been

accused of having murdered Mable
Schofield on or about October 81. 1899.
by the use Of poisonous drugs. towit:
chloroform, choral and knockout
drops. Judge w. A. Spurrier has been
retained to prosecute and 1t was he
who drew the information and upon
whose advice the warrant was issued.
Thomas was arraigned and asked for
time to prepare for preliminary hear
ing. The case was set down for pre-
liminary hearing February II. Justice
Iris told the defendant he would be
admitted to bail in the sum of $4,000,
but in default Thomas was locked up
in the county Jail to await the hearing.
The evidence upon which the war
rant was issued, as recited by Judge
Spurrier. strongly supports the theory
of murder which was advanced at the
time Of the finding of the body of
Mabel Schofield In the Des Moines
river east of the public bath house.
In short. Judge Spurrier's is the only
tangible recital of facts and circum-
stances that has been given since
October 81. 1899. in support of the
theory of murder.
Thomas, who is accused Of the muir
der, is the son of Jasper N. and Mar

made her home while in Des Moines.
