Des Moines, June 12.-The prepara-
tory work for the railroad assessment
by the executive council is now almost
completed. Secretary Davidson last
evening received the first of the printed
slips containing the tabulation of gross
earnings per mile and the comparison
with the previous year. This tabulation
shows that on most of the systems
in the state the gross earnings were
larger than in the previous year per
mile. OF the six systems that cross
the state Of Iowa four show an increase
per mile of gross earnings, namely
Burlington, Rock Island, Milwaukee and
Northwestern, the increase being grad
ed in the order named, and in no case
very great The Illinois Central and
the Great Western both show a de-
crease per mile in gross earnings, both
due probably to the addition of new
and Improbable mileage. The Wa
bash the Minneapolis & st. Louis and
the B. C. r. & N. all report not such
large receipts as in the previous year.

ative per mile earnings for two years

A Servian resident In London is
quoted as saying that Karageorge-
vitch's claims to the throne are likely to
be disputed by Prince Mirako of Monte
negro, who married Con stantinovitch. a
descendant of the old Servian mon
archs. Mirako is in great favor with

These are the principal systems of
the state. Some of the little roads
make interesting showings. For in
stance the Colfax Northern, only 6
miles long jumped from s1,911 earn
ings per mile in 1901 to s4.31S in 1902.
The Davenport, Rock Island and N. w
jumped from 1885 to s5,61S on it's
3S miles. The Ames & College line
made gain of % per cent. The Oma-
ha Bridge and Terminal reported $3,3S2
per mile in 1901 and s3,402 per mile
in 1902. The Manchester & Oneida
made its first regular report, $1,S43 per
mile on Z miles
The reports as given are for systems
entire. But. for instance, the entire
Northwestern system earned an aver
age of s7.595 per mile on Iowa business,
yet on the main line the earnings were
$21.f9S per mile, a decrease of .01 over
the previous year. The Toledo Ha-
warden branch, 3S3 miles long. also
showed decrease from $5,17S to $3.50.
The Sioux City & Pacific branch
showed an increase from $6,S44 to S.
574 per mile.
On the Rock Island the main line
earned S12,925 per mile as against Sill

The main line of the Great Western,
Dubuque to ST. Paul, earned S10,949 per
mile, against s12,400. The addition of
new lines also brought the earnings
down in Iowa.
The Milwaukee main line earned
S12.17O. against $l1,476, and there was

not in communication with Karageorg-
evitch, even If the army has proclaimed
him king. His election as king is prob
able, however, as there is no other
course open. 1t will remain for the
Skukpshtina to elect him or not. The
movement will not propose him, but
will leave this task to representatives
of the people. We shall then resign.
We do not fear any external interfer-
country"

are undoubtedly being sent for the pur-

cuIlom Gregory Out $500 Result Of
Robbery.
Special to Times Republican.
Grinnell, June 12.-The other day
[Cullom Gregory, who works on the farm
owned by Mr.. John Goodfellow and op-
Grated for him by Austin Reynolds, was
robbed of $3.50. Gregory has worked
on the farm over two years and had
the money out on interest. 1t was
paid in Wednesday and a new farm
hand who gave his name as Charles
Kernold and who has worked but two
weeks or so on the farm and per-
feet stranger saw the transaction which
occurred before the family. AS Greg
ory could not deposit it at the banks
that night he placed the money in
a shoe before retiring. The new hand
did not see this as it was dark but no
doubt he did some investigating before
the morning. In the morning he had
disappeared and the money with him.
Word was sent with description of the
fellow to the towns and attempts will
be made to apprehend him. Trace was
found of the rascal east of town and
a team was following him up.

FAITH IN THE FUTURE
No Feeling Of Distrust in Europe Over
Financial Conditions in America
Rothschild's Views.

London, June 12.-Lord Rothschile
was interviewed by an Associated Press
Representative yesterday on the finan-
cial situation in America. He said:
TT is no good looking further thar
your nose in these matters. The depre-
citation in stock values is not causedab
European selling. for the very good rea.
4 son that Europe has scarcely an,
American securities to sell. Yester-
days sales in London We're almost en-
tirely on New York orders. Amster-
oam sold slightly, but not nearly as
much as was attributed to that city by
the dispatches. When an American
wants to sell, he has got into the habit
of sending his orders here and leaving
leaving it to the arbitrage houses. There
is absolutely no feeling of distrust in
Europe over the financial conditions in
America Only a fool would say that
the financiers here are making what
YOU call a dead set against American
securities.
What do I think OF the future?
Well, the best answer | can give is
this"-Lord Rothschild handed over a
stock ticket showing that he had just
purchased 500 shares of an American
railway.
That, of course, is only drop In the
bucket, but / may tell you that one of
the wealthiest capitalists l know yes
terday invested E200.000 in American
securities, and he has put another
100000 into them again this morning.
That sounds large. but it is nothing
compared with the selling orders which
come here from New York. AT such a
period as this the transactions of even
the largest investors had small ef-
feet upon the market in which the
speculator figures so largely"
Lord Rothschild's explanation of the
recent serious shrinkase in values is
this:
"Speyers went into street railways.
Yerkes came over here to electrophy
the undergrounds. Morgan bought
British securities and / am told Schwab
went in largely for British industrials.
They all thought that Rritish or Eu-
ropean investors would take a large.
share in these European enterprises
than they did. The result is that some
OF the largest capitalists in America
have been obliged to realize on their Sc
ourities on the other side in order TO
provide capital for their undertakings
here Under such circumstances quo
ta.ions were bound to go down.

Paris, June 12--The foreign office
here has received dispatch from a
French agent on the Servian frontier,
confirming the press announcements
that the new government at Belgrade
had abolished the legislative assembly
created by the late King Alexander and
had renewed the ancient skupshtina,
which had been ordered to assemble
next Monday for the purpose of rau-
flying the proclamation of Prince Peter
Karageorgevitch as king. The assem-
bly, just abolished was made up of the
appointees Of the late king and did
not contain a member who was opposed
to Alexander's policy. The dispatch
adds that Belgrade remains quiet. the
people apparently being reconciled to
the new conditions. officials here
doubt the truth OF the report that Bel
grade is quiet, as the authorities here
are unable to secure further direct dis

Uncle Sans Navy in Miniature.
TCollier's Weekly.


A subject uppermost in the mind OF
every large nation today is it's navy
The management of the Louisiana Pur-
chase Exposition recognizes this and
one of the most interesting and at the
same time most instructive features
will be the United States navy ex-
hibit.
On considerable sheet Of water our
navy will be shown in peace and at
war. A fleet of thirty vessels, models
correct in every detail of the ships they
represent, will go thru every known
naval maneuver. The miniature war
ships are to be about twenty feet in
length. Each will have its own electric
outfit for propulsion, steering, firing,
signaling and lighting, and will be gov
erned by a man seated in the interior,
who, altho invisible to an audience,
can himself see everything going on
about him as perfectly as the COM
mander on the bridge of real man
of-war.
Every type of ship in our navy will
be represented: the large battleships,
such as the Indiana, Massachusetts,
Oregon, etc: the cruisers New York,
Brooklyn, etc; the torpedo boats, the
torpedo boat destroyers and even the
submarine type.
An exhibition of the German navy.
based on a similar general plan, was
given in Germany last year.

CHEF OF STAFF

Made Public
CHIEF MADE THE WHOLE THING

All the Power centered in the Gen.

Washington. June 1.-THE commit
tee of twelve, general staff, of which
General Tasker Bliss is chairman, has
nearly completed the draft of regula-
tons for the government Of general
staff. The regulations to carry the
general staff act into effect will make
radical changes in the army. The chief
of staff will be the powerful person,
uniting in himself all theoretical au-
thority exercised by the commanding
general under the present law and the
power heretofore unofficially vested in
the adjutant general.
The new regulations leave little or
Eothing of the adjutan. generals de-
partment and less Of the inspector gen.
erals department. The adjutant gem
eral will keep the records as now and
orders to the army will be promulgated
and published by him, but the chief of
staff will direct the issue of orders. He
will be intermediate between the presl-
dent and secretary and the army and
staff BUREAUS will receive instructions
ard orders from the chief Of staff in the
name Of the secretary OF war. The chief
will have the supervisic:i Of troops Of
the line and will direct military opera
tions and in general will be the most
powerful officer that ever held a po-
s!tion in the army in times of peace.
OF course at all times he will be SUBJ
ject to orders of the president and Sec
1etary of war. Not only are purely
military matters, suppose to be vested
in the commanding general, given
to the new staff in the nav regulations.
but supplies and equipments are also
under his direction. TIE regulations
make the general stan officers on duty
In Washington boards to consider all
matters requiring investigation and re-
Port, including inspections. The gem
eral staff will recommend officers for
detail and promotion and will have
charge of the enlistment and recruit-
ment of soldiers.
An important feature not yet wholly
determined relates to officers detailed
from the general staff to various army
The regulations as pre-
pared provide that officers so detailed,
either to the department or with divis-
ion, or brigade in field, shall become the
