to Tlmes-Republican.

Special to Times Republican
Ft. Madison, Jan. 19.-On motion OF
the prosecuting witness, w. G. An
drews. a prominent Washington town
ship farmer, criminal case, which If
it had come to trial would have been
most sensational, has been dismissed
in district court here.
The case grew out Of Andrews allie
cation last spring, that $1,50O had been
stolen from a receptacle in the ground
floor of his farm tool house, where he
claimed to have it buried for safe keep
ing. A month or SO afterwards war
rants were put into the hands of the
sheriff for the arrest Of Louis Voss of
this city and his alleged sweetheart.
Miss Nellie Kline, Of Montrose, daugh-
ter Of Mrs Hugh Cameron. In the
meantime search was started, to find
the money, which had evidently been
hidden somewhere. This search re-
suited In the finding Of $500 in gold
in the barn at Mrs. Cameron's home in
Montrose Miss Kline at the time be-
ing reported critically ill and under
the care of physician and continuing
SO for some time following, the war
rant was never served, her case going
direct to the grand jury. Voss was ar
rested and had preliminary hearing in
July and was bound over to the grand
Jury, which found indictments against
both.
Miss Kline had been domestic in
the Andrews home. A settlement was
effected with Mr. Andrews who agreed
not to prosecute, and getting the con-
sent of the county attorney the case
was dismissed.

BRITAIN IN WAY OF PEACE.
Otherwise Conditions Favor Agreement
at Aloeciras.

Otherwise Conditions avor Agreement
at Algeciras.
Algeciras, Jan. 19.-Great Britain's
attitude toward the Moroccan question
Is considered as being one of the lead
ing obstacles to an amicable ending Of
the International conference being held
here.
France, it seems, is disposed to dis
cuss with Germany the basis of an
agreement, but whether Great Britain
will favor such an agreement is not
known. However, nearly every one
thinks that the longer the preliminar-
les are kept up the less will be the
danger and that time alone will aid in
harmonizing the various differences.
Smallpox, it seems, will have hand
in the negotiations also. The disease
exists here, it was learned yesterday,
and the delegates are considerably
worried Rear Admiral Sigsbee, who
learned this fact from the authorities
at Gibraltar, issued an order forbid
ding any one belonging to his squadron
g go ashore at Algeciras.
May Agree on contraband.
An informal session of the confer
ence was held yesterday afternoon to
permit the delegates to speak their
minds on the contraband question
without having their views officially
recorded.
The session resulted practically in
an agreement on the main lines of a
plan for the repression of contraband
entering Morocco 1t was feared that
this question of contraband might
lead to Franco German tension as to
uyho would carry out the repressiye
measures proposed.
The delegates were In accord upon
the need of all the powers passing laws
penalizing the introduction of contra-
band. They also tended toward q
plan under which Morocco would adopt
rigid repressive measures in co-opera-
ton by the powers. This followed a
proposition submitted by Spain which

Charges Of Campaign Corruption Made
by Defeated Candidate.


London, jan 19.-Thonas Gibson
Bowles, the unionist free trader, who
was defeated at Kings Lynn, in Nor
folk, by tariff reformer, provides a
new sensation in the campaign by the
publication last night Of correspon-
dence with Sir Alexander Fuller Ae-
land-Hood, the chief conservative
whip.
In this correspondence Mr.. Bowles
accuses the untonist party Of sacrific-
Ing his seat on the dictum Of Joseph
Chamberlain simply because he is a
unionist free trader. In it are scathing
letters to Sir Alexander containing nu-
merous thinly yelled personal insults,
accusing him of deliberate breach Of
faith and politically dishonorable con-
duct.
Continuing Mr.. Bowles attacks the
source from which the conservative
party fund was derived and gives
chapter and verse regarding the Incl
dent Of some years ago when Ernest
Tereh Hooiey "of unhappy memory"
contributed $4,000 to the party fund
'sin circumstances most discreditable."
This contribution, Mr.. Bowles said,
was refused and was returned by Lord
Salisbury at his instance. Mr.. Bowles,
insinuating that his successful oppon-
ent received support from the party
fund, says: From such fund l
should deem 1t shameful to receive as
sistance." Alexander makes emphatic
denial
