RECIPROCITY NOT WANTED.
President Discouraged and VIII Sub
NIT No More Treaties to Senate.

Washington. March 27.-The an.
nouncement in the Jamaica legislature
regarding the failure of the reciprocity
treaty with the United States is but q
forerunner of what may be expected
in the case of all agreements of u
similar character which failed to Sc
cure action by the United States sen.
ate. II was evident from the attitude
of that body that the members were
opposed to the reciprocity idea as
outlined in the reciprocity treaties
that were sent to 1t by the president
and all efforts along that line have
been abandoned by the administration
None of the rejected treaties, among
which is that with the French repub.
lie, it is authoritatively stated, are TIC
be again submitted TO the senate In
December next, and because of the at
titude of the senate the president is
discouraging the formation of new
treaties. Sugar formed an important
item OF reciprocal exchange in some
of the treaties, notably those in the
West Indies, and so far as that article
of import is concerned the administra.
ton is stopped from agreeing to any
reduction of duty by reason of the
terms of the Cuban reciprocity agree
ment, which specifically provides that
no sugar produced by any country
other than Cuba shall be admitted
into the United States by treaty or
convention while the Cuban treaty Is
in force at lower rate of duty than
Is imposed by existing law.

German Trust company of Davenport,
is one of the most important ever rem.

sented as trustees. but on which 1t re-
fused to pay taxes. In his decision
the court held not only is the property
owned in this state, amounting to
s41S,000, taxable, but also about $780,
600 belonging to people outside the
state. The result of the decision is
that the German Trust company and
other trust companies doing business

will be ordered to pay taxes, both IN
the city and county upon all notes,

table character or evidences of loans

The decision is one which affects
the money interests of the state more
than has any other decision handel
down for many years. for IL affects
every agent in trust and every bank
in the state.
The court holds property held by
the trust company for parties living

siding in the state. is equally taxable.
He says this property is protected by

the interest Of Railroads.
Des Moines. March 2S.-At the
meeting of the Commercial exchange
last night to discuss the freight rate
situation speeches were made by for
mer Lieutenant Governor Frank T..
Campbell, Judge s. F. Prouty, Victor
A. Roberts, George III. Lewis and w.
s. Kellar. Judge Prouty introduced
resolution suggesting continuance
of the agitation and the employment
of a commission to represent DeS
Moines business interests in the mat
ter of freight rate adjustments. This
resolution was adopted without oppo-
sition.
The speakers contended that the
Elkins law was designed to help the
railroads and not the shippers, anil
the prediction was made that 1t would
have very serious effect on De5
Moines jobbing and manufacturing in
terests and on the small railroads. 1t
was defined as a law to prevent COM
petition among the railroads, which.
coupled with the non-existence of a
valid joint rate law in Iowa and the
absolute power of railroads to fix their
own interstate rates, will entirely de-
stroy all rate competition among rail
roads in Iowa.
1t was suggested that the only hope
of Des Moines shippers to gain reas-
enable treatment, under the Elkins
law, is to combine and offer all bust
ness to TIE road which will make the
best open rate terms, giving con
tract for all business for a period of
years. This system has been tried
with good effect by some large ship
pers and wide awake communities.

TRUSTEES REJECT sIps.
Find Proposals on Main Building for
State College Too High.

ShdkC SS'SSS Nv
Ames, March 27.-At the meeting OF
the board of trustees of the Iowa
State college here yesterday it was
found all the proposals on the new
main building were far too high. In
consequence all bids were rejected,
the architects will modify the plans
and new proposals will be obtained.
The trustees had appropriated
$685. 900 for the main building. So far
beyond this were the bids that the
lowest proposal exceeded $S50,000 and
the highest Appropriated 100000.
There were four contractors that pre-
scented bids and several more contrac-
tors, becoming aware Of the fact that
the bids would be so high as to almost
insure rejection, did not present their
proposals.
The bids on the green houses, the
addition to the agricultural building,
and the new Judging pavilion were
found too high also. They were not
so far out of proportion, however. as
the bids on the main building, and 1t
was decided to empower the building
con- mittee to make contracts for
these improvements, after getting
certain notifications of the plans.
The trustees did not elect presi-
dent to succeed President Beardshear.
The board held long executive SEES.
sion over the presidency. In this
meeting, the different candidates were
discussed but no vote was taken.
Two were outspoken for Professor
Stanton and two we're openly for Pro
lessor Curtis. Rev. |. p. Schrecken
CAST of Washington had considerable
strength. Secretary James Wilson
was considered, and so was w. b.
Craig, former chancellor of Drake
university.
1t was decided to give the commit
tee on selection of president broader
scope. Up to this time the committee
has had no money at its disposal, and
has been unable to make any investi-
cations of candidates, except through
correspondence. A small appropria-
ton was placed at the disposal of the
committee. 1t is expected this body
will look into the availability of sew
eral men not thus far mentioned for
the presidency, and 1t is likely there
will be some new and strong names
in the list of possibilities before the
boards next meeting.
The board will hold its next meeting
May 6. The committee is expected to
be able to make further report st
that time. Its report today contained
no recommendation OF any candidate

BREAKS ANTARCTIC RECORD.
The Discovery Surely Locates a Vast

London, March 27.-President Mark.
ham of the Royal Geographical sur
vey, commenting upon the achieve
ments Of the British Antarctic ship
Discovery, says 1t has been proved
conclusively that the greater part of
the Antarctic region is a vast CONT.
nent. Captain Scott, the commander
of the Discovery. penetrated 100 miles
further south than any previous ex.
plorer and discovered an extensive
mountainous region, hitherto absolute
ly unknown, extending to $500 south.
He thinks this indicates that the land
stretches to the pole in a series of
very lofty mountains. which is con-
sidered TO be far the most important
geographic result ever achieved In
Antarctic exploration. The Discovery
wintered 400 miles further south than
any vessel had previously wintered.

Land Bill Introduced In Parliament by

rotary, Mr.. Wyndham, introduced the
government long-anticipated land
bill in the house OF commons yester-
day 1t proposes free grant of $780,.
900, 900 for the purposes Of the bill.
The keen interest felt in this new
legislation, which, it is hoped, will
promote peace and contentment in
Ireland, was evidenced by the crowded
house.
The peers gallery and the distin-
guished strangers gallery were filled
and there has not been such gather
ing of members of parliament since
the opening Of the session.
Michael Davitt, the father of the
Land League, celebrated his 18th
birthday by re-entering the house for
the first time since he ceased to be a
member, In order to hear the chief
secretary for Ireland unfold his plans.
Mr.. Wyndham, who was heartily
cheered when he rose TO speak, an
nounced at Inc outset that the gov
eminent thought cash aid was neces.
sdiy ioi tht iuihiiiicit vi thS PiopoS
ed scheme, but 1t attached greater i'm
portance to the credit operation
than to the cash operation.
He then unfolded the scheme which
provides for advances of money for
the purchase of land by the tenants.
The advances will be in the shape Of
cash and not of stock, but in order
to enable the cash to be raised new
stock is to be floated.
The Irish land bill also provides
that tenants shall pay u per cent on
loans from the government: that
tenanted farms and grazing farms
will be sold to neighboring tenants,
and that three commissioners will
supervise the sales.
The advance to tenants, through
the provisions of the land bill, are lin
tied to $500 in the congested dis
tricts and $4,000 elsewhere. The bill
will become effective November ].
Mr.. Wyndham said $750,000,U00 could
safely be advanced on Irish land but
he thought the scheme would not in
volve $50,000,000.
The Irish secretary explained that
while the maximum charge on the
English treasury would not exceed ST..
$4,000 in single year, the reduction
in the cost Of the administration of
Ireland would amount to $l.250,000.
It will be called guaranteed 2%
