Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, April 29.-Gov. A. B.
Cummins last evening named the Iowa
commissioners to arrange for the ex-
hibit of the Hawkeye state at the
Louisiana exposition in st. Louis in
1904. The are as follows:
William Larrabee, Clermont.
w. w. Wilmer, Des Moines.
Leroy A. Palmer, Mt. Pleasant.
George NJ. Curtis, Clinton.
w. f. Hartman, Hampton.
Thomas Updegraff, McGregor.
James II. Trewin, Cedar Rapids.
Samuel S. Carruthers, Bloomfield.
S. M. Leach, Adel.
p. L. Prentis, Delphos.
w. I. Shepherd, Harlan.
c. j. A. Ericsson, Boone.
W. C. Whiting, Onawa.
The first two named are members at
large and the others represent their
law There are five who are not re-
publicans, namely: Wilmer, Palmer,
Carruthers, Shepherd and Holbrook.
There is an ex-governor and three ex-
candidates for governor two eX-con-
gressmen, two senator's and two ex-
senators, a member of the state uni
versity regents and a member Of the
state agricultural board. 1t can not
be said that Governor Cummins was
narrow in factionalism in this selec
ton, for while Leach, Curtis, Updegraff
and Prentis are earnest Cummins men,
he favored his two principal opponents
for the nomination last year.
There will not be any scandal in any
thing done by this commission. 1t is
evident as one glances over the list
that the governor was picking men
to represent the state of Iowa in one
of the most important things now be-
fore the state. They are all men Of
independence and high caharacter
They will want nothing for themselves
or their friends-everything for the
state and the good of the state. Only
TWO of the members, Curtis and Leach.
were on the preliminary commission
named by Governor Shaw to lay plans
for the Iowa exhibit but it is prob
able that so far as possible the lines
laid down by that commission will be
followed. In this connection the pre-
liminary estimates submitted by that
will be interesting, for
they will form the basis of the work
to be done, everything being cut in

MINISTER WI TING-FANG
AT STATE Department
Enters Strong Protest Against Wording
of Certain Clause in Com
mercial Treaty.

Minister WI Ting-fang was at the
State Department yesterday for the
purpose of entering strong protest
upon what he considers. the offensive
wording of certain clause in the COM
merciaT treaty now being negotiated be-
tween this country and China.
He spent some time in the private Of
flee of the Acting Secretary of State. but
refused to make public which clause 1t
Is to which he objects, or. in fact. any
thing pertinent relative to the proposed
treaty.
1t is said at the State Department,
however, that the treaty very closely
resembles that recently concluded by
Great Britain with China. A copy of
that treaty has been mailed to the State
Department, but is not expected to ar
rive before the lapse of two weeks. The
State Department is cognizant, however.
of its general provisions.

LIVES LOST IN
 COLLAPSE OF SEATS
CROWDS FOOTBALL UPON GRAND STAND STRUCTURE KILLING FIVE PERSONS IN AND FATALLY INJuR NC oTHERs-DIsAsTER REALIZED PLAYERS GAME CONTINUED

Glasgow, April 5.-The struggle of the crowds which gathered at Ibrox Park to- day to witness the last international as- sociation football contest between teams from England and Scotland, caused the collapse of a portion of one of the spec tators' terraces, resulting in the death of five persons and the injury of 125 others.
 When the game began 7O,OOO spectators were on the ground. and an immense crowd gathered outside. Being unable to obtain admittance, this crowd broke down some of the barriers and swarmed upon the fields, whereupon the police charged and drove the intruders back upon the terraces and seats. with the result that the railings dividing the crowds were thrown over each other. In the frantic struggle towards the exits the pressure toward the upper portion of the Wester- ly terrace was so great that a hundred feet of the highest part of the structure collapsed, precipitating the mass of peo- pie to the ground. sixty feet below. The injured were piled in heaps, wedged in with broken wood.
 Up to midnight five deaths had been re- ported as the result of the accident, while in the cases of twenty of the other victims all hope of recovery has been abandoned.
The age-herald., 1902-04-06

An investigation into the cause of the disaster shows that the break down of the terrace had begun before the struc- ture was subjected to it's severest strain. and 1t is now believed that the final collapse was caused more directly by the efforts of those nearest the first break down than by the additional weight of those who rushed upon the stand from below. The terrace, though supported by iron girders, swayed and cracked ominously under the movements of it's frantic occupants
 The fallen portion if 100 feet long thirty feet wide and contained twelve tiers of seats. The injured in many cases were lying five or six deep and it Is con- sidered marvellous that there were not more fatalities. One man hung by his boot which caught in a splintered beam, head downward. fifty feet above the ground. Finally his boot was cut and the man dropped into a sheet below.
 The strangest feature of the affair is the fact that the crowd in the other parts of the grounds failed entirely to realize the extent of the disaster and the game was played to finish resulting In a draw. Even the management appeared to be unaware of the seriousness of the accident until it was announced after the conclusion of the game.
 Nearly all the victims of the accident are men. Among the last to be taken out from the wreckage were two women both of whom were practically unhurt

RHODES WORTH s25, ,ooo, 900.
London in Throes of Discussion Of the
 Great Developer.

London, April 5.-The war in South Africa, politics and every topic usually of interest, were forgotten today in the ab- sorbing discussion of Cecil Rhodes will. Regarding that extraordinary document the Associated Press has ascertained some new facts.
 The total of MT. Rhodes fortune Is likely to prove to he 95,0O00O0, or slightly under that amount
 The executors are Lord Rosebery. Earl Gray, Lord Milner, Alfred Belt, pr. Jame- son, L. L. Micell and B. A. Hawksley. to whom he bequeathed the residue of his estate. They will divide about a, ,ooO, 900 or a1.5oO.O00 among them.
 According to the terms of this legacy the amount is to be divided during their lifetime, but as each legatee dies. his share goes to a common fund until the surviving legatee becomes its sole owner. Hence, one of the executors, the majority of whom are already enormously wealthy, will one day inherit what will then have probably accumulated into nearly a2,000,- 000
