RRucE-EMMERT CONCERT.
Text Of Report Filed by Majority OF
Committee.

Des Moines, March 13.-The special
committee appointed to investigate
the Bruce-Emmert contest from the
Cass-Shelby district filed its report
with the senate just before adjourn
ment Wednesday, and 1t will be taken
up today. The report of the commit
tee throws the whole question in the
hands OF the senate. Bruce Is de-
clared to have received 4.0S1 votes
and Emmert 4,016 votes. Most Of the
report is devoted to recital OF the
evidence regarding the vote in Pleas
ant township, where Emmert charg-
ed that the ballots might have been
tempered with. The majority of the
committee are Of the opinion that the
ballots were not tempered with, and
therefore should not be thrown out.
The democratic members of the COM
mittee are of the opinion that the vote
OF the township should be thrown out,
as there was a chance of their being
tempered with, and so state in a sep
arate report filed by them. II the vote
in Pleasant township is thrown out
Emmert will be seated, and IL 1t is
counted Bruce will be seated. The fl
ing of the report Of the committee SIM
ply transfers the contest from the
committee to the senate, where it will
probably be taken up today.

THE NEWS In IOWA
MAY LOSE STATE UNIVERSITY.
Larrabee Introduces Resolution for
That Purpose.

That Purpose.
Des Moines, March 15.-A joint reso-
luton was introduced by Larrabee in
the house yesterday proposing an
amendment to the constitution, by
striking out the last clause OF section
., permanently locating the state uni
versity at Iowa City. The object as
explained by the author is to intuse
into Iowa City blood the proper
amount of enthusiasm and pride in the
university. The resolution was refer
red to the committee on constitutional
amendments.
The permanency Of the location OF
the State university at Iowa City
dates from the time when the state
capitol was removed from that city to
Des Moines. There was soreness
with Iowa Cityans that was only ap-
peased by the insertion in the consti-
tuition, following the creation OF Des
Moines as the seat Of government,
the provision that the university
should be located at Iowa City. Since
that time the charge has been fire.
uuently made that while Iowa City
was proud Of this great institution.
the city had not done all in its power
to better its condition. One OF the
arguments is that the grounds are in
sufficient and it is necessary now for
the purchase Of many additional acres.
It is not believed the author, who is
q graduate Of the university, has any
idea that the school will ever be re-
moved from Iowa City, but that he
desires to stir the city to do some
thing. The amendment to become
operative would have to pass two ses-
sions of the legislature and be voted
upon by the people at a general cleo
finn

PROBABLY WILL GET MONEY.
Government Agent Apparently Finds
Iowa War Claims Well Founded.

Washington, March 17.-Adrian
Sizer OF the treasury department. who
was sent to Iowa to investigate the
states claim against the government
on account Of the premium on gold
which it was compelled to pay during
the civil war, has returned to Wash
ington and made his report to the
auditor for the war department. The
claim of the state against the general
government amounts to nearly 100000
and there seems to be nothing that
now stands in the way of its payment,
at least nothing that will prevent the
secretary of the treasury from asking
congress to appropriate that sum OF
money to reimburse the Hawkeye state
for the premium 1t paid on its bonds.
Should Secretary Shaw recommend an
appropriation to pay Iowas claim the
amount will be made part Of the gen
eTal deficiency bill.
