Should it develop that an act of the legislature is necessary to enable the county to furnish funds for the wagon bridge, he hoped all arrange ments would be made for getting the necessary legislation as soon as the legislature meets. Meantime, q tenn porary bridge would be put in. and MT.

Richard son, MT. sturgeon, and the other gen. tlenen from Tempe stated that the peo- pte on the south side of the river were very anxious to have the wagon bridge made part Of the plan. The concen- Sus or opinion was that the county su- pervisors would wish to know public sentiment on the question before talk ing action, and upon motion Chairman tulwiler was instructed to name a committee of five to con;er with the supervisors on the bridge question and advise them of the peoples wishes in the premises.
 A happy lot of citizens emerged from the conference, for everybody realized that the step had been finally taken toward making Phoenix a great rail- read center and toward giving the prosperity of the whole valley a viz orous boost.

SUCCESSOR FOR
 HENDERSON
Convention of the Third Iowa Dis

Dubuque, Iowa, September 1S.-The republican congressional committee of the third district met here today and decided to call a convention at New Hampton, Iowa, September 25, to con- sist of the delegates to the convention which nominated Speaker Henderson, to nominate a candidate to succeed him. This action was taken after con- sideration of the Iowa election law. This afternoon al committee of mem- bers called upon General Henderson and requested him to reconsider his withdrawal. He declined to do so, say ing his decision was final.
 Before adjcurning the committee made the following statement
 Tt is with deep regret that We find ourselves compelled to reconvene the delegates of this district for the pur- pose of nominating a candidate to rep resent this district in the house This is especially true when We realize the necessity that such action is caused by the refusal of our present member to accept the nomination heretofore ten dered him unanimously by the conven- tion called.

GERMANY ACTS
 ON OUR PROTEST
Against the Cruelties Practiced Upon
 Roumanian Jews.

Berlin, September 18.-The German foreign office has received a note from the British government inviting some action on the part of the signatories of the treaty of Berlin or 1878 regarding Roumania's treatment of the Jews. The British note is shorter than that of the United States on the same subject, but 1t has the same tone. It is assumed here that Great Britain knew of the United States note beforehand and act e. in support thereof.
 The United States action is regarded as being quite within it's rights in seek ing the assistance of sigma tories in pre- venting an influx of indigent imm- grants which is recognized as a sub stantial grievance. These two notes will result in the interchange of views between the powers as to what action is feasible. In the meantime it is ex- pected that Roumania will take cog nizance of the United States protest and defend her case upon her own ini- tiative before the signatories. The fore going represents the views of the Ger man government.

After that they will be fugitives under the law. If they do not show up during the day Circuit Attorney Folk will is sue notices to be sent all over the country offering reward Cf $500 for the apprehension of each of the six men.
 The work of the present grand jury, which has been the investigation of the municipal assembly poodle charges, will soon come to an end, as Circuit Attorney Folk will shortly have to give his entire attention to the trial of a number of indicted men. The circuit attorney states that enough remains undone to keep the grand jury busy for six months. As soon as these trials are out of the way that body will re- sume its investigation.

REMOVAL OF A VICEROY.

Washington, September 1S.--A letter from Minister Conger at Pekin trans mits two imperial edicts ordering sev- oral changes among provincial officials as result of the disturbances. The most important of the changes, Minis ter Conger says, is the removal of kwei Chuen, viceroy of Sze Chuen province, and the appointment of Tsen Chuen Hsuan as acting viceroy of that province.
 This change, the minister says, was doubtless made by the Chinese govern ment because of the failure of Kwei Chuen 10 suppress the recent serious disturbances in the territory. The min ister further said that it would take three months for the new appointee to reach his post, and added that it was hoped that even the news of his coming would tend to impress the disturbing clement in the province.

North sydney, C. B., September 1S.- Lieutenant Peary arrived here today on the steamer Windward from the frozen north. He did not discover the north pole during his trip of four years, but he says that in his last dash with that object in view he made important dis- coveries. He says he feels certain that the pole can be reached, and further more that if he were a man of inde- pendent means he would persevere un- til he succeeded.
 The most northerly point reached was latitude S417, northwest of Cape Hecla. Lieutenant Peary says the pole can be reached from Franz Josefland and from Grant Land, in latitude S3 degrees, if winter quarters are established as far north as possible. He says he would just as soon winter at Cape Hecla as at Sabine or Etah.
 On board the Windward also was Mrs. Peary. who is just recovering from
