EASY TO OVERCOME OPPOSITION
Paris. Feb. IN Combes did not find
it hard to overcome the opposition in the
French chamber. when it attacked him in

prefect OF Neurtheet- Moselle NJ Cor

was to preside at the Abbe's lecture. pro-
tested. on the ground that he. was an
Alsatiau and a German deputy. and enti-
tied. on those accounts. to especial re-
spect NJ Combes described the whole
affair as a manoeuvre on the part of the
Nationalists An effort had been made.
he said. to represent the Able as a per-
feet type Of the protesting Alsatian. but
he was onthing OF the kind. Thief act was
that he and his friends were neither
French nor Germans. but simply Roman
Catholics
CIericalism was at the bottom of the
whole trouble. The proposed lecture by
the Able was only veil for an attack up
on acts by the government. especially
the closing Of the chapel in the chateau
al Luneville and the fnterdiction OF m
Alsatian newspaper. which was rabid in
its assault on the authorities The pur-
pose OF the Abbe's visit 70 Luneviile was
to create an agitation in view OF the
municipal elections. for the mayor Of

HAYS NOTE.

Paris Feb. 13IUaited States Ambas-
sadOr Porter and NJ. Nelidoff the Russian
ambassador to France, called at the for
eign office this afternoon and hel long
and important conferences with Minister
Delcasse as a result of which it is prac-
tically certain that France will reply
favorably to Secretary Hays note on the
subject of China.
Today's conference between Ambassador
Porter and NJ. Delcasse was the third
which has been held during the last
few days, NJ. Delcasse in the meantime
having conferred with the cabinet and
consulted with Russia.
At an early hour today the French
authorities were advised that Russia
waived her objections to the Hay note,
thus removing the obstacles in the way
of its acceptance by France. The ap-
proval of Japan has not been doubted and
this is made more certain by the receipt
of an official japanese declaration favor
ing the neutrality of China and limiting
the area of the war.
Exchanges between Paris and the chan
cellories of Europe have shown their
favorable consideration of the Hay note
and the statement in the Temps explains
the attitude of the cabinet of London,
Paris and Berlin:
Editors-Here take in Temps statement
beginning:
THE semi-of1icial Temps says the cab
inets. etc. and ending with lis accept
able to Russia and Japan
The outcome of these negotiations is
considered another admirable stroke of
American diplomacy and one which is
likely to have far reaching consequences
in limiting the scope of the war and its
after effects

ORGANIZED POLICE FORCE

ORGANIZED POLICE FORCE
Berlin Feb 13.-Much public interest
has been excited by the debate which oc-
CURED in the German Reichstag the other
day on the question raised by a Social
Democrat, Herr Haase, OF the existence
of an organized police force in German
cities Herr fIasse made some astonish
ing statements. He declared that the CEN
ter of the Russian police department in
Germany was in Berlin, where NJ. Tar
dix drew salary of 5000 marks $4,000.
and was addressed by his subordinates
as "ExceIlency." He employed a large
number of agents. 1t was untrue to say
that thir object was surveillance over
Anarchists. All Russian subjects in
Germany, and particularly Russian stud
ents. were regarded as Anarchists, and
subjected TO unexampled treatment. The
Russian spies entered their lodgings and
examined their books, papers, etc, often
bribinG their landlords. Postoffice officials
had been induced to violate the secrecy of
the postoffice Russian subjects were CX-
PEELED if the Russian police had anything
against them. and were sent over The
to extradition without a legal basis. Rus
sian sub jects had been kept ten weeks
in a German prison. said Herr Haase, on
the suspicion that they were connected
with a secret society in Switzerland Pro
ceedings for high treason against the
Russian empire ana for insulting the Car
by printed writings had been instituted.
He thought it disgrace that men and
women whose effense was their love of
liberty should be extradicted to the Rus
sian government at the instance OF Rus
sian police spies. On behalf of the gov
ernment. Baron Richthofen admitted the
presence Of the Russian police, but de-
clared that their sole employment was
watching Anarchists. He denied that
they interfered with German subjects and
said that the government saw no reason
for interfering with the system as it ex-
listed. His reply is severely criticized in
the press.

MAY GET ARMY
HEADQUARTERS
DIES MONIES AFTER OFFICES FOR
DEPARTMENT OF THE
MISSOURI.

Des Moines, April IA deal which
embraces the removal of the army
headquarters of the department of the
Missouri from the present location at
Omaha to Des Moines is said to COM
prise a portion Of the negotiations for
the erection of the new million dollar
postoffice for Des Moines and subse-
quent vacation of the present hand
some but inadequate. building at the
corner of Fifth and Court avenue. It
is rumored in official circles that such
is the intention of the war department
as soon as the new postoflice building
is completed, for the reason that the
Omaha headquarters are not Of SUM-
cient size and do not afford ample ac-
Communications for the officers who are
stationed at that point.
Recent discussion of location for a
new city hall has caused numerous
inquiries to be made as to why the
present postoffice building could not be
used as a city hail when the govern
ment shall have ceased to use it. These
inquiries have been carried to such a
distance that the scheme of bringing
the department headquarters of the
army of the Missouri has been divulg-
ed, and thus in addition to an army
post, quartering large numbers Of SOL
diers, Des Moines is destined to be-
come a military center, replete with
major generals and all the attending
fOrmality.

ADVOCATES sANAToRlUM.
Iowa Health Bulletin Says Matter Is
a Most important One.

There is no bill before the legisla-
ture more important than house file
No. III, providing for the establish
ment and m maintenance of a sanatorium
in the state of Iowa." says the Iowa
Health Bulletin for March. This is
the. bill which was prepared and intro
duced in the thirtieth general assem-
bly, largely through the influence of
Health Physician w. B. LaForce,
of this city. The bill has since the
writing of this complimentary notice
failed to pass, but an appropriation of
$1,000 has been set aside for the pur-
pose of Investigating the need and
value of such an institution.
Continuing the Bulletin says:
Every consideration-hum sci
entiflc and economic, calls for it's en-.
actment. According to the United
States census of 1900, $4,000 persons
in round numbers, died from consump
ton aud other forms of tuberculosis in
Iowa within the last, ten years. The
disease has been proven to be durable
and preventable. The best means Of
assuring and preventing it is the san
atorium properly located, equipped anc
managed. The legislature owes it tc
their own families as well as to the
public at large to pass the Summers
bill, house file III"

seven columns on the first page of Mr..
Hearst's New York paper next day. Mr.
Wade himself was referred, to in most
fulsome terms of praise and hailed as
the leader of the Iowa democracy.
Il certainly am getting a lot of adj
vertising," said Judge Wade with a grin
next day when asked about the
features. He did not seem inclined to
discuss it any farther.
There are those too who insist that
Judge Wade's strange indisposition to
declare himself on presidential can
didate may be some what influenced
by that alleged $4,000 which Mr.,
Hearst contributed to his campaign
fund in the second district two years
ago. Mr.. Wade might be subject to
the charge of ingratitude if he should
tell his followers in Iowa to follow the
lead of many other good democratic
states and instruct for Judge Parker.
There is no doubt that Hearst is
going to make a determined fight for
Iowa and Wades no instructions plan
will be to his liking.

Despite certain rumors to the con-
trary, Mr.. Hearst declares emphatically
that he has not the slightest idea OF
getting out of the race for the presi-
Dental nomination. A rumor came
from Indianapolis the other cay that
Mr.. Hearst had wired his lieutenant
there to quit the political game and
settle down again to the newspaper
business The Courier correspondent
had occasion to see Mr.. Hearst that
night to ask him as to the truth of
the rumor.
He showed considerabl heat when
told of the story. M
There is not word of truth in il"
he exclaimed. 1T is false. through

Mr.. Hearst as vehemently denies any
idea Of selling out to the. Parker forces
for place in the Parker cabinet. AL
though there is now little doubt but
that he will run bad second to Judge
Parker in the St. Louis convention it
is generally believed that he will be
found fighting when the end comes.
If Mr.. Hearst can not have the presi-
Dental nomination he wants all the
advertising that the affair will yield
and getting out would not give him a
good prestige.
Mr.. Hearst is still hoping to carry
Iowa and get delegates from that state
Instructed for him. He will even be
satisfied If they are not instructed at
all and It is understood that he is
greatly encouraged over the situation
there because of the fact that Judge
Wade still refuses to advise his fol-
lowing to get instructions for Judge
Parker as many other states are plan
ming to do. Mr.. Hearst, when he can
mot get instructions for himself consid-
ers the next best thing no instructions
at all He fought a losing fight for no
instructions in New York state and
will carry the fight to all other states
where he cannot bind the delegation
to himself.
Mr.. Hearst, by the way, is doing
everything in his power to keep Judge
Wade on his staff. When Judge Wade
made his trust speech last week Mr.
Hearst's New York paper gave it a big
spread over several columns. The
flaring headlines referred to Judge
Wade as Ex-Governor Wade of Iowa

TOBICAMY CHARGE
REV. /. B..TAYLoR is TO BE
SENTENCED ON
APRIL 90.
Closing Chapter in Case Against Min
lister Begins In District Court in
sigourney-oId Case Twice Tried
Is Dismissed.

Sigourney. April IA. = Rev. Irwin 3:
Taylor plead guilty to the charge OF
bigamy in the district court here Wed
nesday afternoon. In December l9o5
proceedings were commenced against
him. He was indicted by the grand
jury and as soon as the requisitlon
was honored Sheriff John Baty went to
Wilmington, Delaware, and procured
Mr.. Taylor, from work house there
where he was confined on account OF
failure to support wife No. L..
His case was continued from the
February term of court till the present
April term. He appeared in court yes
terday afternoon and his attorney Of
fered to plead guilty for him. That
not being satisfactory to all concern
ed, Rev. l. B. Taylor himself plead
guilty. Judge Preston has set Satur-
day April % as the time for pronounc-
ing the sentence.
Came From Delaware.
Three years ago the prisoner came
from Delaware and became pastor OF
the Methodist Episcopal church at
Martinsburg and while there married
Miss Florence Graves.
A year or so later another wife by
a former marriage made known her
existence in Wilmington, Delaware, and
the reverend gentleman went there tc
answer to charge of non-support. He
was convicted and sentenced to the
workhouse because he could not fur
nish bond to insure the payment OF
$25 per month to the support OF this
wife. In the meantime the Keokuh
county grand jury indicted him fol
bigamy and the governor of Delaware
honored the requisition papers. He
was brought to Iowa for trial in the
| February term of court. He was ar
raigned and pleaded not guilty. His
trial was then set for this term witt
the above result.
The prisoner appeared calm ant
composed and when the court asked
him if this was his true plea he smil
ed and said it was. AS he left thu
room in the custody Of Deputy Sheriff
McCreary he smiled continuously ant
made an extra effort to greet some oil
acquaintance that CHANGED to be il
