London, Eng.--In an editorial article
on the satisfactory outcome of the AL
geciras conference the Daily Telegraph
comments upon the almost passionate
desire for pHace which has been re-
vealed as the prevailing sentiment at
all the European courts and chan
celleries.
Perhaps, however" the article says,
"the most significant though least OBJ
trusive phenomenon is the part Of
peacemaker played by the American
representative. Mr.. White has been
the peaceful picket of the conference.
Europe is indebted to him"
The Daily Telegraph also comments
upon the fact that America thus found
circumstances too strong for doctrines
and was compelled to concern her.
self with European affairs.

MASONIC TEMPLE BURNED.
Several Persons Barely Escape With
Their Lives at Dover, N. n.

Dover, N. H.-One woman was TAX
en- from window on the fourth floor
and 20 other dodgers were warned
barely In time to escape from a fire
which early Wednesday morning to-
tally destroyed the Masonic temple
on Central avenue, the largest and
finest building in this city, entailing
loss of upward of 100000.
The woman was Miss Mary Peas
ley, teacher in commercial col.
lege, who occupied room on the
fourth floor of the burned building.
After all the other dodgers had left
the building she appeared at her win

rushing upward from the floors be.

She cried out for help and then
waited calmly while the firemen
raised a ladder and bore her to the
ground.
The Masonic temple is five.story
building, occupied on the ground
floor by business nrms anu the
floors above by Offices and lodging
rooms. There were about 20 lodgers
in the building.
At 1.3O in the morning Capt. Stev'
ems, in charge of the night police,
discovered fire in the hardware store
of C. l.. Jenniss. He Immediately
turned in an alarm, and then rushed
into the building to warn the lodgers'
Pushing his way through the hot
smoke, he succeeded in starting them
all on their way to safety with the
exception Of Miss Peasley, who failed
to make her escape before the stair
way was made impossible.
The fire gained headway rapidly,
and before the work Of the firemen
became effective it had envelOped the
whole building and was threatening
to spread to the buildings on either
side and across the street.
This, however was prevented, and
by 2.15 o'clock the danger was ap'
parently over, and the fiTemen were
confident that they could hold the fire
to the building in which it started
and which had been reduced to a
shell.
The loss to the building was esti
mated this morning at 100000.
Other heavy losers were c. L. Jen

AS soon as one obstacle in the wa,

the insurance companies have beer
very slow in paying their losses, anc
some of them have held back, with a
v ew of securing a compromise with
the Insured, while others have at
tempted to repudiate all liability.
When the city was in need of help,
the coast sailors of San Francisco
struck for more wages, although they
were the best paid seamen in the
world, receiving $500 per month.
They demanded $4,000 before their
services could be obtained. The sit
ustion was still more aggravated by
the plumbers going on a strike, and
later on, the truck drivers.

dent. They are the logical results
of a change of policies. There is
quite as close relation between the
prosperity which we enjoy today
and Republican policies, as there was
from 1894 to 1897 between the cal
amitous conditions which then existed
and Democratic policies. Our foreign
trade since 1896 has practically doubl-
ed. The aggregate balance of trade
in favor of the United States during
the nine years since the Republican
party last came into power reaches the
prodigious sum of between four and
five billions of dollars. Last year,
our foreign trade exceeded that OF
any other year in the history of the
Country, and was, approximately,
three billions of dollars. Our exports
exceeded a billion and three quarters,
and our imports approached billion
and a quarter, with balacne of trade
in our favor of over five hundred
millions of dollars.
We have home market which alb
serbs nearly all that we produce in
the Country, whether in factory, upon
the farm, in the mines, or forests.
The products of the farm are demand
ed at the highest prices. Labor was
never more generally employed than
at this time, and at wages which are
not duplicated any place on the face
of the globe. There are more far
mers in Iowa with money in the bank
than ever before. If some one
has the courage to assert that these re-
suits are not due to Republican poll
cies, let him point to time in the
history of the country, when such
prosperity was enjoyed, while some
other political party was in power.
The Republicans of Iowa this year
owe it to themselves; they owe it to
the party in the state, and to the Re-
publican party of the Nation to stand
by the action of the State Convention,
and to maintain the splendid record
which our party has made in the past.
