ance companies.
Des Moines. April 3.-Auditor Of
State Carroll has started an inquiry
as to the powers and rights of the in
surance department OF the state in
the matter of putting a stop to ex.
travagance in the management of
companies so that officers get the
larger share of the business. He has
asked the attorney general for an
opinion as to his rights in the matter
as related especially to the mutual as.
sessment companies doing business
in fire. lightning, hail, tornado. plate
glass and other lines. II is desired
to know whether or not in case the
insurance department discovers by
the reports made that company is
being run In an extravagant manner,
in manner to indicate that the chief
business is to make nice salaries for
the officers or directors, pays enor-
nous dividends or otherwise conducts
the business In way not to assure
permanency, then can the state aud
itor suspend the operations of the
company or compel a reimbursement Of
the business.
The question arose in reference to
hail company at Baskerville where
there was evidence of extravaganza.
The company takes the position that
the state auditor has no power in the
case at all. The attorney general is
to be asked to decide 1t. In case the
decision is favorable 1t is expected
the state auditor will make a gen.
eral investigation of the insurance
companies and effect shaking up
in those that are not run on business

disappointment All Around, as 1t De-
lays Appeal of Case.

Des Moines, April 6.-After DELHI
Grating twenty-five hours in the case
of the State VS.. The Armour Packing
Co.. the jury reported that IL could
not agree on a verdict and asked to
be excused. The point on which the
jury stuck was what was yellow but
ter" and II could not agree on the
color of the butterine for which the
defendant company was indicted for
selling.
II was reported after the trial that
the jurors stood seven to five for con.
viction. Ii was also stated by one of
the jurors that they stood ten to two
for conviction and remained this way
all through the night and the time
they were out, except occasionally
when sparring to change the general
vote. At 9 o'clock in the morning
Judge Given called the jury and asked
in regard to the trouble. The jury
then asked for further instructions,
particularly as to the shade Of yell
low butter. He stated that it was the
color of ordinary trade butter. bought
and sold as country butter. The jury
then retired. but while this testimony
was looked on as favorable for the
state the jurors did not seem to
change their vote.
The report of the jury is very I'M
satisfactory to both the attorney for
the state and for the company. as they
would have preferred a verdict, no
matter which way it stood. The dis
agreement delays the final verdict in
the case, inasmuch as it will be TAX
en- to the supreme court. The case
will come up for trial again as soon
as II can be got in the assignment.
County Attorney Miller said that he
was ready to try the case again at
once.

ternational Historical Congress, made
several illusions to the United States.
lie said Europe was shut in by two
the east and the United States on the
west From population Of 10000
90 1t had risen to 80.000,000, and none
knew what it's population might even
tually reach. The United States also
had taken the lead in all works Of
progress and civilization. These two
forces, acting on Europe, were lively
to render necessary the union of the
different European countries, which
would completely change the geo
graphical situation, to the universal
advantage of Europe. ihe senator
added that he foresaw and predicted
the twentieth century will perhaps see
the solution Of many problems.
The mixing of the white and black
races" he continued brought about
the war Of secession in the United
States and the liberation of the ne
groes from slavery, but this has not
harmonized or amalgamated the two
races, which hate each other now per-
haps more than ever before.
"The United States probably will
be the first to give US an indication
how to deal with such grave and i'm
portant questions, which Europe must
meet throughout the two immense
continents of Africa and Asia"

ALLISON ON RECIPROCITY.
Governor cummins Declares Recent
Interview Was Not True

Des MONIES, April Elm an inter-
view with Governor Cummins relative
to the statement that Senator Allison
had abandoned the policy of recipro-
city, the governor said:
"You ask me what l think OF the
published statement that Senator ALI
son has abandoned the policy of reci-
procity. The statement is not true.
l am willing to put it more strongly
i know 1t is not true. / have the
best imaginable authority for saying
that Senator Allison believes in reci-
procity Just as earnestly as he ever
did and that he believes the party
should declare for it this year just
as it has been declaring for 1t for
more than ten years.
1T is obvious to Senator Allison, as
indeed 1t is to all of us, that reci-
procity by treaty is exceedingly diff.
cult to accomplish, inasmuch as one
third of the senate can prevent the
ratification of treaty, and the demo
Gratis are all against reciprocity; but
the doctrine can be carried into effect
quite as well by an act of congress,
and this requires only a majority of
both houses. You will find that Sena-
tor Allison will stand firmly and
squarely by the opinions he has so
often and SO ably expressed.
"You ask me what kind OF plat
form the coming state republican con.
vention will adopt. My answer is that

state, in whose judgment | have the

hope 1t will be. l hope and believe
it will be a broad, progressive state

publicanism. upon which every genu
inc republican can stand, and concern
ing which there can be no criticism
hope and believe that 1t will neither

bodied in our last two platforms.
and that 1t will be expressed in Ian

You ask me If l desire to reply
to the charge that | am out of sym
athy with some of the distinguished
republicans of the state upon the
tariff and reciprocity and as to the
platform upon these subjects. All
care to say is that | am not conscious
of any such divergence of views.
Men who do their own thinking al:
ways differ respecting the application
of principles upon which they alb.
stractly agree. but as far as the tariff
and reciprocity are concerned and
their expression in platform. know
that | am in exact accord with Sena
tors Allison and Dolliver, and | think
with majority Of the members OF

party in the state, not in Office, in.

reckoned unfriendly in political way

company, is authority for the state
ment that the Chicago, Milwaukee

Northern at Iowa Falls, and their
own line from Austin at Mason City
this spring The route has already
been surveyed by the Iowa Falls and
northern company and construction
crews are to be set to work i'm
mediately.
AS soon as the line is completed, 1t
is stated, the Milwaukee people will
announce a cut in passenger and
freight rates for traffic between Des

and the Twin Cities and Kansas City
with its presen facilities the Mil
waukee is compelled to carry passen-
gers from Des Moines to the Mis-.

BOWEN FIRM WITH ALLIES.
Minister Refuses to Agree Venezuela
Shall Stand Cost of Blockade.

Washington April A joint con-
ference between Minister Bowen and
the representatives of the allies was
held yesterday. Mr.. Bowen presented
his reply to the amendments which
the aliies proposed to the original
draft of the protocol. he accepted
several changes in phraseology in the
convention. but informed the other
negotiators that under no circum-
stances would he accept the insertion
OF a new article poviding that Venez-
uels should pay the costs OF the block.
AIDE In case the decision at The Hague
should be adverse to the preferential
treatment. His refusal on this point
was absolute.
1t was agreed that Mr.. Bowen's OBJ
jections and arguments should be
cabled at once to London, Berlin and
Rome. The original protocols pro.
vided for the submission OF the sim
pie question whether the powers that
employ force to secure the payment
of international debts are emitted to
payment before other creditorv pow
ers which do not employ force.
II is feared the new proposition will
arouse a storm of opposition in Venez-
uela where the congress is already be-
coming very FESTIVE and can scarcely
be nept an line by the executive to
secure the execution OF the protocols
drawn here by Bowen.
