casion to express himself in eulogiz-
ing way concerning Mr.. kreutzer,
whom he said, he had learned to re-
spect deeply. He believed Mr.. Kreut-
ger. and In so expressing himself he
felt that he was voicing the sentiments
OF the entire council, to have been
earnest. honest and faithful to duty at
all times. While he had differed with
him in many instances the differences
were honest, and despite them working
with him was pleasure.
Mr.. kreutzer also spoke briefly, IN
which he expressed his regret at being
compelled to give UP his work on the
council. Mr.. Kreutzer's health Is not
good. and as he has deemed 1t best to
spend the winter in California, He will
not be home until after his term ex-
pires and therefore he did not like to
occupy his seat on the council. He
thanked Mayor Jones and the members
Of the city council for all the kindness
es extended him during his long In
cumbency, which is almost six years.
In the vote to accept the resignation
and make the appointment OF Mr..
McMains. all voted aye but Mr.. CAL
houn. who begged to be excused on the
ground that he was not acquainted
with Mr.. McMains.
The selection Of Mr.. McNTains will
meet with the hearty approval of the
citizens of the Fourth ward, where he
is exceptionally well known. Mr.. Nc
Mains is fine man in every way, hon
est, upright and intelligent, and will
make good representative Of his con-
stituents. Mr. McMains has made his
home in Marshalltown since 1870, and
entered the service of the Central, as
fireman, on Aug. is, 1873. He served
three years as fireman, and was made

TO PROTECT PAVING.

All Vehicles for Heavy Traffic, After
January I, Must Have Wide Tires.
An ordinance regulating the width
of tires of vehicles used for heavy
traffic was adopted by the city coun-
ell Monday night, and after January /,
all such vehicles Weighing, together
with their loads, $500 pounds, or over,
must be equipped with tires at least
three and one-quarter inches in width
Notice of this action was given by
resolution about year and a half ago.
The action is taken in order to pro-
tect as far as possible the paved
streets. The original draft of the or
dinance specified $500 pounds in
weight, but this was amended because
it was thought that farmers bringing
in loads of hay might come under the
ordinance If the weight was $500. The
rules were suspended and the ordinance
was adopted with an unanimous vote.

Progress Of Arizona.

Washington. Oct. 25.-The annual re-
port of the governor Of Arizona to the
secretary of the interior says the ter
ritory population has increased con-
siderably and that the total population
now is between 10000 and 10000.
It expresses desire on the part of
the people of Arizona for statehood,
but says that finding themselves con-
fronted with a plan to unite their terri
tory with New Mexico, the people of
Arizona have protested vigorously and
will continue to do SO until they have
defeated this repugnant scheme. They
would desire that their commonwealth
remain territory indefinitely rather
than to be joined with New Mexico"
The governor adds his belief that the
merger would not be acceptable to the
mass of the people of either territory.
The report says that the floating in
debtedness of Arizona, which on June
80, 1903, was $92,341. has been wiped
out and a balance of $2O,849 remained
in the general fund at the close OF the
last fiscal year.
The taxable property of the territory
has gained 1881 sos during the year.
The total taxable property of the va
rious counties is $45.069,545. Substan-
tial progress in other directions is re-
ported.

AMBASSADOR MosBED.
Russian Representative Hustled and
Chased BY London Crowd.

London. Oct. 25.-Count Becken-
dorff, the Russian ambassador, re-
turned to London last night from cele-
brating his silver wedding with his
wife's relatives in Silesia and barely
escaped assault from a crowd at the
Victoria station, which followed him
almost into the embassy.
Fortunately for the issue of peace or
war, nothing resulted, yet throughout
the night a special force of police was
compelled to guard the Russian en-
bassy.
Count Benckendorff has been always
regarded in official circles here as a
friend Of peace, and he was as much
opposed as Count Lamsdorff to the
Russo-Japanese war. Indeed, he is al
most an Anglophile in sentiment.
There is no doubt that Count Benck-
endorff was deeply hurt by last nights
demonstration.
After escaping from the hostile
crowd that met him at the station, he
drove at gallop to the embassy.
half dozen rowdies followed, but the
ambassador arrived unharmed.
His noisy pursuers encountered a
Gordon of police that had been hur.
riedly dispatched to guard the en-
bassy. After singing Rule Britain
nia," the disturbers dispersed, no ar
rests being made, but the police con-
tinued to guard the embassy as II it
were a British fortress.

Generous Deed Of EIks.

Through the generosity Of the
Bridgeport lodge of Elks, Peter Mar.
kocn of Wallingford, Conn.,. will profit
by the unfortunate accident which he
met with while witnessing the Elks'
banner raising. A runaway horse ran
him down and dislocated his collar
bone.
The bone was not fractured as at
first reported. Markoon was here
looking for work, and when the Elks
heard that he had wife and family
dependent upon him for support they
sent committee out to investigate.
Markoon, as result, was sent back
to Wallingford to-day, after the Bridge
port lodge Of Elks had paid his medical
expenses, secured his ticket, given him
money for incidental expenses, and
told him to calculate upon IS per week
for the next four weeks.
The Elks went further. They noti-
fed the Wallingford lodge to take care
of Markoon and help him to get en-
ployment. Markoon is not member
of the order. never was, and the Elks
were not in any way liable for the ac-
cident.-Boston Globe.

BRITISH AROUSED
URGENT NOTE SENT TO RUSSIA

Mob Tries to Assault Russian Am
bssssdor In London-kins Ed
ward Expresses Sympathy for suf-
ferers.
London, Oct. 25.-Great Britain yes
terday sent a long and urgent note to
the Russian government, officially de-
falling the circumstances Of the amaz-
ing and unexplained attack by the Rus
sian Second Pacific squadron during
the night Of October 21st on British
fishing boats in the North sea-
The text of the note has not been
given out, but 1t Is offlcially stated
from the foreign ONCE that 1t contains
the significant announcement that the
situation Is one which. in the opinion
of his majesty's government, does not
brook delay"
Everywhere there is evidence OF the
very positive opinion that this Is no
time for the usual diplomatic dilly-dal-
lying. that there must be no delay and
no limit set by Russia to her apology
or the extent of compensation for suf-
ferers by what King Edward himself
terms "the unwarranted action" OF the
Baltic squadron commanders.
There was hostile demonstration
arrival of Count Benckendroff. the Rus
sian ambassador to Great Britain. A
crowd gathered and hooted him and at
tempted to break the windows OF his
carriage.
Meanwhile the conservative public
and press are remarkably undemon-
strative. AS usual the lingo element
demands war. and even in official quar-
ters some go SO far as to say that It
may be necessary to stop the Pacific
feet, pending settlement of the whole
affair. though this extreme measure. it
is believed. will not be necessary. The
King sent the following message to the
mayor OF Hull:
buckingham Palace. Oct. "a. 1904.
ITO His Worship. the Mayor of Hull:
THE King commands me to say that
he has heard with profound sorrow of
the unwarrantable action which has
been committed against the North sea
fishing fleet and asks you to express the
deepest sympathy of the Queen and his
majesty to the families of those who
have suffered from this most lament
able occurrence. KNOLLYS"
Francis Knollys, Baron of Favers-
ham, is the private secretary Of King
Edward.
At the Russian embassy It was
stated that "the whole affair was SO OBJ
viously a mistake. from whatever
cause. that Russia's course was plainly
dictated. namely, apology and ample
compensation.

Petersburg awaiting word from the
