Available Surplus.

sSSSr~'D~s- .
To meet these requirements the au-
ditor and treasurer of state have eom-
piled and submitted to the legislature
an estimate of the available surplus
in the treasury subject to extraordi-
nary appropriations. This amounts
to $697,67 The officers say that
possibly this will be increased rather
than decreased, but in no event can it
possibly exceed 100000. However, it
has been the impression that the legis-
lature would exceed this sum by prob
ably $75O,0OO. If this is done there will
lfe available from $1,56o,00o to $780,
900 for the purposes set out in the fore
going list and such others as may arise
during the remainder of the session.
The auditor and treasurer estimate
the receipts of the biennial period at
$5,777, 7ss.17 and the expenditures at
$5,oso,O16.
To Examine County Ofices.
One of the most important measures
before this legislature is that which
Representative Furry is pushing and
which was the bill in which Speaker
Eaton was principally interested two
years ago, being a law for the estab-
lishment of system of examinations
by the state of the offices of county
treasurers, coupled with an optional
examination of the other Offices upon
motion of the board of supervisors.
The sentiment for this bill seems to
be much greater, and the friends of it
are more active than two years ago.
The number of serious defalcations
which have occurred in the offices of
county treasurers within the last six
or eight years in Iowa has given rise
to a demand for such an examining
board. Representative Furry is Ger
tain that the bill will pass the house,
whether it does the senate or not.
Need More Buildings.
In addition to the 100000 asked
in the way of extraordinary appropri-
atoms, both the State university and
the State Agricultural college are ask
ing for tenth-mill additional tax for
building purposes. This would raise
$4,000 for each institution each year,
or s22a,e99 for the colleges during the
biennial period.
Indeed the authorities of the state
university estimate that they need at
the present time $1,1s2,000 for neces-
sary buildings. A large number of the
most prominent interests of the uni
versity are homeless and the uniyer-
sity is falling behind like institutions
in other surrounding states, on &C
count of inability to properly house
Its departments. It is said by Presi-
dent George Z. MacLean that the uni
versity imperatively needs immediate

Civil War Claim.
Some of those interested in the
finances of the assembly have been
elated by the prospect that the state
would be able to recover its civil war
claim from the general government
before the adjournment of the session.
This claim amounts to $456,0OO, and
would be very timely addition to the
funds available for extraordinary APP
preparations. 1t was taken for grant
ed when the recovery of this claim was
first suggested by Capt. j. S. Lothrop,
of Sioux City, that it would take sew
eral years, perhaps Is, to secure set
Element in favor of the state. This
was the history of the claims of other
states, but during the past week SEN
ator Allison notified the governor that
in his opinion the claim would be in
serted in the urgency deficiency ap-
preparations of congress and gotten
through during this session of con-
gress. Capt. Lothrop does not believe
that this matter is fully understood
by Senator Allison, and that the state
will find that it will have to go
through long course of litigation be-
fore it is able to recover the 100000 it
claims. This money represents the
interest paid by the state of Iowa on
bonds which it issued during the civil
war to secure money for the equip
ment of Iowa troops for the civil war.
The government paid back the prin-
-cipal OF these bonds but did not pay
the interest.

ONE WAY OUT OF IT
 PEACE IN MEXICO
Plan to Settle the Arbitra-
 tion Dispute
The Chilians Will Not Be Compelled to Assume an Attitude of Sanction ing Compulsory Arbitration A Half Attended Session.

Mexico City, Jan. 10.-It is believed that the arbitration difficulty in the Pan-American conference has finally been disposed of though it is uncertain how the Chilians will act. The solution is to be found in the suppression of the final protocol, for which purpose d modification of the rules of the con- ference will be necessary. For this pur pose a two-thirds vote will be needed but it is already practically assured. The suppression of the final protocol is the only concession that will be made to the Chilians. Its significance is sim ply that the treaties approved by the conference will only bear the signatures of the delega tions who adopt them. The final protocol would bear the sig natures of all the delegations without exception and would be a resume of all the treaties concluded by the confer ence, including that Of compulsory ar bitration, signed by the ten deiega- tions.
 Therefore, as Chilians would have had to sign the final protocol with the other delegations. they would be placed in a position indirectly sanctioning the plan of compulsory arbitration. Now however. if the final protocol is abol- ished. this difficulty will be overcome, and it is said that the Chilians will be evincing excessive sensitiveness if they persist in withdrawing.
 Ex- Senator H. C. Davis. chairman of the United States delegation to the in ternational conference, who left for Washington tonight, took leave of the conference at the mornings session in d brief speech, saying i2 part: Enough has been accomplished to assure us that much good will come to the Amer ican republics as a result of the second Pan-American conference"
 Senor Carbo of Ecuador presented a motion to the effect that the conference recognize the services of Mir. Davis and express regrets at his departure. This motion, seconded by Senors Chavero of Mexico, Blestgney of Chilli and General Reyes of Colombia, was carried unanimously.
 President Raigosa appointed Cassius of Mexico, Reyes of Colombia. Marmot of Mexico and Arriaga of Mexico q committee to take leave of Senator Davis at the station. But in addition Raigosa himself and all the delegates. as well as the employees of the confer ence. were at the station.
 Nothing has been decided in the mat ter of arbitration. and. as has been predicted by the Associated Press cor respondent. the six delegations re- mained away from today's session by way of protest. viz: Peru. Argentine. Bolivia. Paraguay, Venezuela and Santo Domingo
 The approval of a project for an eX- change of publications was the only business transacted at this morning s session.

Washington, Jan. 1Q.-The house com mittee on territories today fixed Jan uary 31 for a hearing on the Arizona statehood bill. and February : for the New Mexico statehood bill.
 Representative Sherman of New York introduced a bill continuing in force all the laws prohibiting the coming in of Chinese.
 The house spent the greater part of the day considering the Hopkins bill to create a permanent census bureau. While the general sentiment is in favor of a permanent bureau, there is strong opposition to the bill as drawn, on the ground that it is not well matured. There is also an overwhelming demand for a provision to place the present employees of the census bureau under the protection of the civil service law. The bill was recommitted with instruc- tions to report back a bill containing a plan for a detailed organization of a permanent census bureau, and to in clude also a provision to place the pres ent employees under civil service.
 A bill was passed unanimously to give Mrs. Mckinley a free mailing privilege. The house then adjourned

ACROSS SAMAR
 DEAD INSURGENTS
Marked the Line of March of Waller
 and His Command.

Washington, Jan. 1o.-The navy de- partment today received the following cableGram from Rear Adimral Rodgers at Cavite: Waller reports having com pleted ten days march across Samar from Lanaug to Bahey. The column endured great hardships, killed thirteen insurgents, and captured a captain, lieutenant and four men,"
 Major Littleton w. T. Waller of the Marine corps rendered gallant service with the marines in China during the march of the allied forces from the sea tC Pekin. The island of Samar is one of several islands which are still making strenuous though desultory opposition to American sovereignty. It was at Balingiga. on Samar island, that the massacre of Company c of the Ninth infantry occurred. In view of the bel liEerent spirit manifested by the na- tives on this and other islands and the physical character of the country traversed the march of Major Waller and his command was a feat of more than ordinary daring. Lanaug is situ- ated on the east and Bahey on the west coast of Samar, in the southern part or the island.

 After speaking of the congested state Of transportation throughout the country. he said: Careful examiua- ticn of the railway problem from q national standpoint. will, 1 believe. show beyond question that the busi- ress of the country has outSrown the facilities oi most trunk lines and new faciiit!es, which are not now apparent, will be necessary to relieve the situa- ton. Rates in the United States are much lower than in any other country. Wages are higher. the cost of much laterial is much higher than in Eng land, yet the rate charged in Europe is fully twice as high as America. The conditions in this country change very "a pidly-while the rates have been cut in two in twenty years, all kinds of la DOT and materials used by the rail- ways have advanced from 30 to 90 per cent.

The resolutions were adopted almost unanimously by the convention prior to the arrival of Mir. Hill. An at tempt was made to have these partic- ular resolutions stricken out, but the attempt failed and the resolutions stand as the sense of the convention.

a revolution in the republic of Para quay turn out to be well founded. The revolt. which broke out at Asuncion, the capital, was caused by a question of the presidential succession, the term of President Aceval expiring in No vember of this year. The revolutionary junta was composed of General Cabal- lero, General Escobar, Col. J. A. Els curra. minister of war: Senor Marro a. cabinent minister, and Senator F'reitas.
 President Aceval resigned the presi- dency and congress accepted his resig- nation. A collision occurred in the chamber of deputies during which Sen ator Facando Insfran, president of the hygienic council, was killed, and Gen eral Caballero, Senators Miguel and Corbalan and Deputy Fernando Car reras were severely wounded.

until Monday.
 Representative Lowering af Massa- chusetts introduced a bill providing q salary for ex-presidents of the United States at a rate of s25.0O0 annually from the date of retirement from the prcsi- dency. The bill is to apply to any ex- president living at the time the law is enacted.
 At the opening session of the house MT. Barney reported the pension bill and gave notice that he would call it up Monday after the disposal of the Dis trict of Columbia business.
 The bill carries s139. 343. 34O as against s145,245.230 appropriated last year.
 On motion of MT. Hopkins of Illinois the house then went into committee of the whole and took up the considera- ton of the bill to create a permanent census office. The latter measure has been very strongly recommended by the present administration, well by Cen. Francis A. Walker, superintendent Of the ninth and tenth census. and Mir. Porter, superintendent of the eleventh, C.: the ground that it would not only decrease the cost, but increase the value of the results.

Savannah, Ga, Jan. 10.-Rear Ad- miral Schley, accompanied by his wife, arrived in this city this afternoon. The sta ton was throngcd- with people to greet him. As he alighted the cheering was deafeninE. Mayor Myers and d delegation Of aldermen extended the admiral q cord'al official welcome and asked his consent for formal recep- ton tomorrow afternoon at the city hall. The admiral agreed.

Fargo. N. D.. Jan. 1O-President James J. Hill of the Great Northern railway this afternoon addressed the Tri-State Association of Grain and Cattle Growers. in session here. The crowd was very large and included farmers and business men from all parts of-Minnesota and both the Da- kotas, special delegates having come today from Duluth and the twin cities to hear MT. Hill. He opened with a few words of praise for the farmers. saying that the nation at large has more to expect from those who culti- vate the soil than from all others com bined."
 After speaking of the development of the northwest he said he thought the one kind of community of interests which really existed was that between the producer of tonnage and the car rier; the land and it's products and the railroads will either prosper together or be poor together. Much is being said about combina tions between railroads. and competition. The law of the sur vival of the fittest must inevita bIy end in such competition as exists by the destruction of the weaker by the stronger. This already has been done in the east. He said: Twenty-Five years ago it was supposed that compe- tition was necessary to reduce rates. l think we have shown in the northwest that without competition the rates have been reduced faster than anywhere else in the country
 Continuing, Mir. Hill said: Our oi- ject fin acquiring the Burlington joint ly with the Northern Pacific railway was to insure an outlet of the best markets for grain. livestock and lum- Der for the northern states and to in crease the volume of oJr traffic to the end that we might at all times be able to establish the lowest rates and the most favorable conditions under which the traffic must be carried on.

INS0LVENT BANK
 IN CLEVELAND, 0.
Following Upon Collapse of Everett
 Moore Syndicate.

Cleveland, Ohio. Jan. 1O.-The Euclid Avenue Trust and Savings company made an assignment today to Attorney Frank II. Ginn. The latter's bond was fixed at $25O.GO by Judge Bloch of the insolvency court.
 Subsequently MT. Ginn made the fol- lowing written statement: The di- rectors of the bank decided to make an assignment for the benefit of all it's creditors for the reason that the bank has been unable to realize upon it's as sets rapidly enough to meet the un- usual demands which have been made upon it recently. The directors state that no depositor and no customer of the bank will lose dollar. that the embarrassment arises from the fact that patrons have been unable to meet their obligations to the bank with suffi- Cient rapidity to take care of the un- usual withdrawals.
 ''The bank has liquidatcd during the past three months from about g., 200. .0O0 to $1,400,0O0 deposits, and the assignee will merely continue the liquidation un- der the orders of the court"
 It is stated that the bank carried about S120. coo in securities of the De- troit x Toledo line. which recently rassed into the hands of receivers. As q result of the financial embarrassment of the Everett-Moore syndicate, it is understood that the bank found it inn possible to realize upon these securities.
