BOARD Of Control to Recommend That

Des Moines, Oct. 9.-The state

are admirably adapted for the uses
of the reformatory. '.le legislature
provided for a reformatory, but did
not provide the funds to start it, and
the district judges refused to send
women to the reformatory so long as
it Is a part of the state penitentiary.
There Is very great need for re-
formatory for women" said Mr. Cow
ME. AT present. there is nothing
that can be done with present large
class of women who might be reform
ed, but who cannot be sent to the
state prison. One over Is cannot be
accepted at Mitchellville, and yet
there are many between 16 and 80
who ought to be in some institution,
and not be allowed to go free to sink
deeper in vice and to carry others
with them"
The buildings at Knoxville are good
and have been well cared for. They
are not adapted to any other purpose
than a reformatory. The board will
strongly urge they be used by the
state for something.

Supreme Court Renders Decision OF
Importance.

Importance
Des Moines, Oct. 10.-AThe right of
officers to serve search warrants
without all the due formalities of
law was matter tested In a supreme
tice Sherwin yesterday. The case
was from Lyon county and was en-
titled state of Iowa VS.. Thomas Sheri-
dan. Sheridan was an ice dealer at
Rock Rapids. One morning 1t was dis
covered that the stock of ice belong
ing to competitor had been largely
destroyed by some one pouring salt
on the same. Sheridan was suspect
ed of the destruction, and 1t was
learned that short time previous
to the act of destruction he had pur-
chased a barrel of salt of one Of the
merchants of the place. In order to
secure evidence which might fasten
the crime on Sheridan a search war
rant was procured and in the cellar
OF his house the officer serving 1t
found an empty salt barrel. The fact
of finding the barrel was introduced
in evidence and ii was largely on
that testimony that Sheridan was de-
clared guilty Of the crime. He took
an appeal from the lower court and
his attorneys objected to the right of
the state to procure its evidence in
the manner in which 1t did. 1t is
stated in the decision of the supreme
court that the attorney general ad-
mitted the search warrant which pro
duced the empty salt barrel as evil
dence in the case was issued without
authority of law

TREATY WITH CHINA SIGNED.
Means the Settlement of Iong-vexed
Questions.

Washington, Oct 9.--The state de-
partment was informed yesterday that
the Americana Chinese commercial
treaty has been signed at Shanghai,
and that the Japanese-Chinese treaty
would be signed yesterday afternoon.
The cablegram announcing the sign
ing of the treaty was sent from Shang-
hal and was signed by Minister Con-
ger, Consul General GoOdnow and Mr..
Seaman, the three commissioners who
negotiated the instrument. An inn
perial decree by the Chinese govern
ment has made the treaty effective so
far as that government is concerned,
but it must be ratified by the United
States senate before the Publications
can be exchanged and the treaty put
in operation.
Great satisfaction is expressed at
the state department at the outcome,
as it makes certain that the two ports
in Manchuria will be opened to the
United States, no matter what the out
come as to the negotiations for the
evacuation of that territory by Russia
may be. The assurances that Russia
has previously given, and to which
this government would insist upon
adherence, is that the treaty arrange
ments made with China covering
Manchurian ports will be binding up
on the Russian government.
The principal points of the treaty
are briefly as follows:
First-SettIement Of the Ions-vexed
question of internal taxation in China.
Second-Recognition Of Americans
right of residence throughout the en-.
pire for missionary work.
Third-Protection Of patents, trade
marks and copyrights.
Fourth-Protection of n,inina
rights.
Fifth-openins of new localities to
international trade in the part of the
empire in which the United States has
vast commercial interests.
Sixth-Right to carry on trade, in
dustries and manufactures in all
parts of China

RESERVES TO BE Modified.
Bulgarian War Office Takes Important
Action.

Action.
Sofa, Bulgaria, Oct. 12--The war
office today ordered the complete
mobilization of the first and second
classes of reserves resident in the
Kostendil district and of the Thir-
teenth Macedonian infantry. This step
1t is understood, was taken as pre-
cautionary measure, in view of the
repeated provocative acts of the Turks
on the frontier.
The war office has also ordered
twenty thousand overcoats for deliv-
cry December /, and has decided, in
view of the situation, not to send
home any of the recruits for the pres
eGt.
The Dnevnik says the authorities
are surprised and concerned at the
frequent aggressions of Turkish
troops along the frontier.
The Bulgarian ministry has formal.
ly complained to the Turkish govern
ment on the subject, and has pointed
out the deplorable results which such
conduct must have on the relations
between the two governments at a
moment when delicate negotiations
are proceeding.
About 700 refugees arrived yester-
day at Pastra. near Ria. from Razlog.
1t is estimated that 10000 refugees
are now in Bulgaria. OF this number
$4,000 are in the BourgaS and Varna
districts. The remainder are distrib-
uted in the Ria, Samakov and other
districts

PREPARES TO LAND TROOPS.
II Japan Persists War With Russia
ic lnaUi& -

u tneVttdDies
London, Oct. 12.-There has been
no change for the better in the situa-
ton in the far east. If anything. the
outlook is more warlike. and the news
which reached here indicaes a condi,
, ton almost equivalent to open war.
The most significant point in the
days news is to the effect that Japan
is landing troops, or preparing to land
troops in Korea. If this proves to be
correct, it is almost equivalent to
declaration of war. AS If in reply to
this news comes the information that
powerful Russian fleet has left Port
Arthur under sealed orders, presum-
ably for Korean waters to prevent this
landing.
There is no doubt the Japanese gov
eminent will be backed by a unani-
| nous public opinion. no matter to what
lengths she may go, in opposing Rus.
sian aggression.
In addition to these facts, which
seem to be fairly authenticated, and
which are sufficiently serious to cause
grave alarm, there are all sorts Of ru-
mors afloat One is that Japan has
sent an ultimatum to Russia demand
ing the evacuation Of Manchuria, and
fixing October II as the date on which
satisfactory reply must be given
Another is that Russia has decided to
bring on a fight. which is regarded
as inevitable, rather than wait for
it. No official confirmation can be
secured of either of these reports.
though they are received with more or
less credence.
AS to the evacuation of Manchuria,
Russia has nothing to say, and ap-
parently nothing to do. Ii she has
made move to get away from the
hostage provinces. news of the fact
has failed to reach any of the Europ.
can capitals. On the other hand, Rus
sian newspapers, which are gener-
ally regarded as semi-official. state
plainly the car is in Manchuria to
stay, and has no intention of giving up
a foot of land in Asia now in her pos
session.
England's position in the imbroglin
is something of a puzzle. If the for.
eign Office regards the position as
menacing war in the near future,
which is the general belief. neither
the war Office nor the admiralty is
taking any steps to increase Eng.
lands land or naval forces in the area
of trouble, so far as the general public
is aware. Whether this means that
the government does not regard hos
tilities as possible. or in the event OF
hostilities does not intend to give ma
terial aid to her Asiatic allies, is
question to which as yet there is no
answer In the event that there is
war, and that England becomes one
of the parties to it. 1t is said Lord
Kitchener will be sent from India tc
take charge of the British forces, and
that in fact he will be in supreme
command of the allied troops. There
is well defined feeling that the cues.
tion of war or peace in Asia will be
settled definitely for the near future
within the next two or three days

CALM IN ST. PETERSBURG.
Neither People Nor Press of Russian
Capital Given to Jingoism.

Capital Given to Jingoism.
st. Petersburg. Oct. 10.-The state.
ment, published in the United States
by news agency, that an anti-Jap-
anese war sentiment prevails here, is
false. Russian society, is absolutely
not given to 'iingoism," the govern.
ment remains peacefully disposed,
and the foreign office disclaims the
slightest sentiment of hostility.
The newspapers here publish ex-
tracts from the Japanese press, indi-
eating hostility to Russia, but the
Russian editorials preserve studied
calmness.
Diplomatic circles are aware that
the situation inspired some uneasi.
ness, but they believe that the gov.
eminent anticipates a peaceful solu-
ton.
The Japanese minister here, NJ.
Kurino, informed the Associated
Press today that he has seen no indi-
cation of warlike disposition here.
He has always found Foreign Minister
Lamsdorff ready candidly to discuss
Russo-Japanese relations.
The Japanese minister said that
there was no reason why the two gov.
ernments should not reach a peaceful
settlement. He added that although
he was careful reader of the Jap.
anese newspapers, he found no war
like tendencies in any of the infiuen-
tial papers, and claimed that the Rus.
sian paperscited comments from I'M
important Japanese sheets.
While the foregoing reflects the
sentiments of st. Petersburg. it is not
denied that there may be a difference
in feeling of the Russian orient. The
Japanese papers quoted here regard
Alexieff's promotion to the rank of
viceroy of the far east as being a vic
tory for the Russian war party.
Regarding the reported movements
of the Russian feet. the foreign office
informed the Associated Press that a
fleet is expected shortly at Port Ar
thur from Vladiyostock, and it is pos
sible that the feet is in the vicinity
of the Japanese feet, since ii is nee
essary to pass through the straits of
Korea; but no Importance can be at
tached to the momentary whereabouts
of the Russian feet
