A Cordial Message.
Washington, Feb. 27.-Count Cassini,
the Russian ambassador, has recsived
trom his government an exceedingly
cordial cablegram in response to his
excellency's message sent to st. Peters,
burg several days ago regarding the
numerous offers of American doctors
and nurses to donate their services to
the Russian army in the far eastern
war. The ambassador is invited by
his government to assure the Ameri-
cans that his majesty is deeply touched
at this renewed evidence OF kindly
spirit on the part OF the Americans,
and that although the government OF
the emperor Is profoundly appreciative
Of those offers, the overwhelming num-
Der Of doctors and nurses in Russia will
scarcely permit her to accept aid from
other countries. 1t seems that the st.
Petersburg authorities are besieged
with requests from all over Russia
from loyal subjects to 60 to the front,
either in military or medical capac-
ity, and the feeling prevails that Rus
slams should be given the preference.

House Passes the Naval Appropriation
Bill After q Week Of
Warm Debate.

Washington, Feb. 27.-The house
passed the naval appropriation bill Fri
day after having had it under consid-
GRAFTON for week. There was party
contest on a number of propositions
during the day, especially on an effort
of different minority members to Sc
cure an amendment to fix the price Of
armor plate at the figure bid by the
Midvale Steel company. Several amend
ments were ruled out on points Of or
der and the republican leaders by skill
full parliamentary tactics left the mat
ter of armor plate in the discretion Of
the secretary of the navy. An ineffec-
tual attempt was made to have the
eight-hour law applied to all ship con-
struction, The contest over submarine
boats was quite exciting and an amend
ment finally was adopted which leaves
the question of the type Of boat open,
but increases the amount of the appro-
priation for such boats. The minority
failed to secure record vote on the
proposition to recommit with instruc-
tons, the proposed instructions being
declared out Of order.
The senate on Friday considered at
some length the bill requiring the use
Of American ships in carrying govern
ment supplies, but without action, adj
journed for want Of quorum. The bill
was criticised by democratic senators
a. being In the nature Of subsidy. but
Senator Hale, who was In charge Of the
measure. defended 1t against this at
tack and championed 1t as in the In
terest Of American shipping.

HAPPENINGS IN IOWA
EVENTS OF A WEEK THROUGH
OUT THE STATE.
Rear End Collision of Stock Trains at
pyersvlIle Results in Several
Fatalities and Very Heavy
Loss of Property.

A fast stock and freight train last
Thursday night ran into the rear end
pf another stock and freight train on
the Chicago and Great Western rail-
road at Dyersville, Ia, killing Fire
nan e. w. Griswold, A. r. Thomas,
stockman; j. w. Rhyme, stockman;
John Ayres, engineer, and an I'M
known stockman.
F. L. Fouck and an unidentified ma
chinist who was stealing ride were
30 badly hurt they will die.
The engineer and fireman OF the
pusher were injured in jumping.
The bodies OF the dead were wholly
OF partially cremated in the fire which
destroyed fourteen cars
The frightful accident occurred on
what is known as the Farley Hill"
lust outside the station yards of Dyers-
Vile. A switch engine was assisting
the rock train to clear the hill and
was at work on the main track, which
they understood was clear. A through
freight, running at terrific speed,
rounded curve just east of the town
and before the engineer was granted
IN opportunity of applying the air
breaks the two locomotives crashed
together with a roar that was heard
Tor miles around.
Instantly the mass of cars was
lfire and above the kissing of steam,
the cries of the imprisoned men in the
caboose could be plainly heard by per-
sons who ran to the rescue. 1t was
beyond human power to render the
men assistance, however, and, like rats
In a trap, they slowly lost conscious
ness and were cremated by the flames
which swept all about them.
The engine crew of the through
freight were instantly killed. Their
bodies we're found lying far from the
wreckage, blackened and disfigured.
The scene Immediately after the
collision at Dyersville beggared de
ucription. Nearly 100 loaded freight
and cattle cars were blazing, and the
sky for miles around was lighted by
the flames. consuming thousands o.
dollars worth of property.
Horses, COWS and other stock which
succeeded in releasing themselve:
from their awful condition went wild
ly tearing across fields and owe
fences, and hundreds of persons stood
In awe before the terrible confagra
lion. The stock aboard the train, thu
major portion of which was very val
liable and en- route to the East, was
destroyed, entailing great loss.

CANAL DEAL IS COMPLETED.
PROCLAMATION OF PRESIDENT
PUTS TREATY INTO EFFECT.
Last Step in Requirement by United
States Of Power to Build
Waterway.

Washington, Feb. 81. = President
Roosevelt, at 1850 a. m. Friday, signed
the proclamation putting into effect the
treaty with Panama regarding the 18TH
milan canal. AS soon as the proclama-
ton was signed it was returned to the
state department where the exchange
of notifications already had taken place
between Secretary of State Hay and
Minister Bunau-V arilla, of Panama. The
cabinet was in session when the proc
lamation reached the white house from
the state department. Secretary Loeb
took the document to the president and
he signed it Immediately.
This exchange marks the close Of
diplomatic negotiations looking to the
requirement by the United States OF
canal rights on the isthmus, running
back to the first quarter of the last CEN
fury. What remains to be done now is
nothing more than the adjustment Of
certain legal questions by the law officers
Of this government; the state de-
partment has filled its functions.
There was no attempted ceremony In
this last act. There were present in the
diplomatic room only Secretary Hay, M.
Bunau-Varilla, Sidney Smith, chief OF
the diplomatic bureau, and Eddie Savoy,
the veteran messenger of the secretary.
who has had to do with the sealing and
signature of countless treaties.
The legal questions remaining to be
settled are, first, the effect upon canal
payments of the pending litigation in
France concerning the canal. Briefly
stated, the Colombian government sues
to prevent the directory of the new Pana-
ma Canal company from refusing admis-
sion to the board of it's representatives.
With the amount of stock such repre-
sentatives would control, united with
certain elements of the old Panama COM
pany opposed to the new regime, it
might be possible to prevent the consum-
nation of the sale of the canal property
to the United States. But the state de-
partment has a conviction based on un-
official assurances that the French court
will reject the Colombian suit.
Another legal question is whether UNI
der the terms of the Spooner act the $780,
100000 which was to be paid to Colom-
bia, can now be paid to Panama, and it is
for the attorney general to decide
whether enabling legislation will bere-
quired. twill be some time before these
questions can be settled and meanwhile
no money is likely to pass.

Assets Are Worthless.

An examination of the books Of the
Corning State Savings bank, at Corn
Ing. Ia, by Receiver G. F. Andrews,
shows that the institution had been
Quilted by its management. President
Frank La Rue has confined himself to
bis home since the failure, refusing to
see anybody. One report is that he is
losing his mind and another is that he
Is feigning insanity. He has turned
over $4,000 worth of property to the
bank. Receiver Andrews finds that a
large part of the assets are worthless,
being merely copies Of notes once held
by the bank, the originals having been
disposed of; other notes are forgeries
without even the merit Of being
copies of genuine originals. 1t Is i'm
possible yet to state what proportion
of the s175,000 of assets of the institu-
ton is worth anything, but the condi-
ton is very bad.

WILL ATTRACT ATTENTION.
Measure Sweeping In Scope to Be In.
troduced in the La ujslature,

Measure Sweeping In Scope to Be In.
trodueed in the Legislature.
There will be introdu led in the leg
islature, il the plans of those who are
now giving consideration to the SUBJ
ject are unchanged, a measure that
will attract considerable attention
throughout the whole country, one
that it is believed will be accepted as
q signal for one of the most important
general movements against restraint
Of the use of facilities for commerce
that has ever been started. The bill
has not yet been framed but the thing
sought has been given much consid-
Grafton by members of the legislature,
and in the discussions it has been de-
termined just about what is desired.
The thought is simple. 1t is that the
state Of Iowa shall require an ex-
change of business between telegraph
and telephone lines and systems with
In the state. and forbid the formation
of any combination or agreement that
, will prevent this interchange of bust
ness over the wires of companies OBJ
tanning their rights from the public
No attempt will be made to require
any exchange of business outside the
state.
1t will require not merely that bust
ness shall be exchanged, but that there
shall be an actual exchange Of opera
ton, or that telegraph companies shall
be compelled to allow long-distance
telephone companies to attach tele-
phones direct to their. wires used for
telegraphing, and vice versa. The
bill will probably go also to the length
of forbidding any company having a
public charter in the state of Iowa
from continuing to do business under
any contract or agreement which d.
vides the business or territory or the
character of the service, etc.
It Is pointed out that if the state
forbids this agreement for division
and monopoly. then telephone lines
will be connected up with long-dis-
lance wires and the rural and farmer
telephones and the mutuals and all
others will be in a position to ex-
change with the telegraph companies,
and practically every local line in the
state will become long-distance line.
The claim is also made that telegraph.
Ing and telephoning can be done over
the same wires at the same time with.
out interference and will cheaper the
rates.

HIS COURSE APPROVED.
Action Of Capt. Marshall, Of the vicks
burg, at Chemulpo, Is
Upheld.

ing for any suggestion from st. Peters,
burg, though that has since come, and
more than three days ago, the navy
department cabled Capt Marshall, OF
the United States steamer Vicksburg,
at Chemulpo. requesting an explana-
ton Of the facts connected with the
reported refusal on his part to take
aboard his ship sailors from the Rus
sian warships sunk by the Japanese.
No answer has yet been received, so
that the government here is not in a
position to make the explanation which
st. Petersburg seems to wish.
From their knowledge of the United
States naval regulations, and from the
comprehensive press reports as to
what did occur at Chemulpo, the naval
officials here have not the slightest
hesitation in giving their unqualified
approval of the course pursued by Capt.
Marshall. In the first place, it is I'M
derstood here that it was not matter
of saving life. 1t is doubtful whether,
if the men were drowning, an Amer
lean warship could aid them before
they surrendered without violating In
ternational law. 1t is believed here
that these men, who were in boats,
could have landed, and only refrainel
from doing SO because they feared to
be captured by the Japanese soldiers in
town. Had Capt Marshall received
them aboard the Vicksburg, he must
have taken them in as prisoners, for
that was the status accorded them by
the French and the British naval Off
GERS present. Therefore, as the Rus
sian sailors would have been practi-
cally Japanese prisoners in either case,
whether they landed or whether they
boarded the Vicksburg, the American
captain is regarded as justified in de-
clining to receive them.
