The Temperance Workers of lowa Have a Rollicking Convention. Die Moines, Lowa, Jan. 21.—(Special Tel- | egram.] —For several years it has been cus- tomary for the temperance people of the state to hold a mass conyention in January at the Heretofore their efforts liave been ted to securing prohibition, but this year, having obtained the iaw, they met on a sort of *““whoop-em-up” policy. Accordingly 5% delegates and many more visitors as- sembled in this city and opened their con- vention this morning, and have been “whooping it up” all day, ‘The gencral idea seemed to be to work up all the enthusiasm possible for the enforeing of the pro- iibkory law. No one had any spe- cial plan to propose, and ihe convention was not anthorized to take eharge of any special line of work, but evervbody was ready to make a speech for prohibition. S0 itis expected that the delegates will go home thorouzhly enthused and determined to make Jowa as dry as a summer on the Hon, George T, Finn, member of the 1 Iature from Taylor conmty, was tewporary president of the convention this forenoon, and Rev. Dr. George F. Magaun, late presi- dent of Grinnell college, was _pernmianent chairman this afternoon. Both made speeclies,earnestly urging the prompt enforce- ment of prohibition. Mr. Finn stated that the, legislature would not pass any such law as that proposed by the mayors convention. The principal event of the day was the de- hate over a proposition to memorialize the islature in favor of granting women the ight to vote on mumcipal and sehool ques- tions. This called out a strong debate, but as the voting was viva voice and the erowd was largely made up of women suffragists, the resolution was carrvied. The committee on finance reported in favor of raising a fund of 850,000 to aid the enforcement of the law. Gov. Larrabee’s recent utterances in his inaugural in favor of astrict enforcement of the prohibitory law made him the hero of the day, and any allusion to his name was greeted with prolonged cheers. In the evening a mass meeting was' held, at which addresses were delivered by Mrs, Eilen Foster, Mi, B, F.

Weaver Turther Complicates the Iowa Pension Agency Fight. THICK AS FLEAS. CANDIDATES Congressman Payson Wants the Treasury Officials Impeached— Pushing the Hennepin Canal —Various Matters, The Delegation Divided. WasHiNGTON, Jan. 2L—[Special Tele- gram.|—The complication of the Iowa pen- sion ageney fight grows deeper as the time for making a change approaches. A few days ago, the only contestants whose claims appeared to have any weight were Merrill and Kinne, and the indications were that Mertill would win because of his soldier record. It appears now, however, that the democratic members of the delegation are divided and all torn up over the matter, and while they appear calm on the surface there is an undereurrent of 1l feeling among them which may break out into open hostilities at any time, Captain Blake of lowa county shows signs of growing strength, and as far as the delegation is coneerned the fight would seem to be between Blake, Merrill and Kinne. But political moves do not always appear on the surface, which accounts for the fact that there is another facter in the con- troversy which some of the democrats of the delegation have no desire io countenance. Weaver has a candidate of his own, and is doing some ve rnest work in his behalf. This man is Weaver's business partner, Gil- lett, and Weaver is extremely anx- fous to place him in some posi- tion where he can secure a firm hold upon the national udder. He will make Gillett pension agent, If not he, he will becontented with the Des Moines postoflice.

Tt was a dull, heavy day and the streets were covered with snow and slush, - Promptly at 1:90 the royal party left Buckingham palace for the house of lords. The route of the royal pageant bad been cov ered with gravel, This prevented the horses from falling and enabled more progress to be made, Her majesty rode in an open carriage drawn by eight lorses. ‘The household cav- alry acted as escort to the queen. Large crowds lined the streets through which the royal procession passed, and her majesty was greeted with hearty cheers all along the route. The scene in the house of lords was v brilllant, Peers and peeress, judges, ministers and bishops were present in large numbers in full court dress. Gas light was used in the chamber owing to the absence of the sun. This enhanced the beauty of the scene as it shiowed more fully the brillianey of the jewelry and splendor of the dresses worn by those present. The queen looked as if she were suffering from a cold, Her majesty, in a speech, said her relations with other powers continue friendly. The differences with Russia regarding the Afghanistan boundary had been satisfac- torily adjusted. She trusts the work of the Russo-English frontier demarcation commis- sion, already far advanced, may tend to secure continuance of peace in Central A Referring to' the rising in eastern Roumelia, her majesty savs: Her object in the negotiations which followed the outbreak had been to bring the inhabitants of that country according to their wish, under the prince of Bulgaria’s rule, while maintain- ing unimpaired the essential rights of the sultan. 'The queen regrets she has been compelled to declare war against King The- Dbaw, of Burmah, owing to acts of hostility by himself and his subjects, The gallantry of the forces under General Peudergast had rapidly overthrown the Burmese forces, and she decided the most certain method of in- suring ~ peace was tv be found in the permanent incorporation of Burmah with her empire. Negotiations respecting the rights of the French on the coast of New- foundlaud had heen sulisfactorily doneluded.

Although there has been during the last year no marked increase of serious crime, there is in many places concerted re- sistance to the enforcement of legal obliga- tions, I regret the practice of organized in- timidation continues to exist. I have caused every exertion tobe used for the detection and punishment of these crimes, and no ef- fort will be spared on the part of my gov- emment to protect my Irish subjects in the exercise of their legal rights, and the ex ment of undisturbed liberty., 1f, as my in- formation leads me to appreliend, the cxist- ing provisions of law shall proyeto be adequate to cope with these growing ev look with confidence to your willingness to invest my government with all necessary powers, Bills will be submitted for tran: ring to representative councils in the counties n lacal business which is now transacted by the courts of quarter session, and other authorities, A measure for the reform of the county governiment of Ireland is also in preparation, These measures will involve consideration of the present inci- dence of local burdens, A bill for facilitating the sale of lands in a manne apted to the wants of the rural population will also be submitted to you. “In these and other matters pertaining to your high functions, I earnestly commend you to the keeping znd guidance of Almighty God.” What Egan and Finerty Think, CiicAGo, 21, —[Special Telegram.]— Patrick interviewed this afternoon regarding that portion of the queen’s specely which touches upon the Irish+ question. “Pronouncements of that kind,” he said, “mean nothing. It is always the rule in royal speeches fo utilize language that will conceal ideas rather than express them, Her majesty says nothing new. We all know of herdislike to home rule movements, Tho situation is such that no matter what she may , parliament will be compelled to deal with the home rule question and grant it to Ireland. Her reference to coercion is also vague, and will not lead to any material results in lreland. From experience we know that pronouncements of that kind pre- cede swrender. We know that this, our national movement, holds the key of the position and we are all quite confident as to the result.” ‘“‘Under the menace,” said John Finerty, after he read the queen’s speech, “‘the Irish people must make up their minds to meet the crisis with the courage displayed by the American colonists In dealing with the queen’s grandfather, George 111. The queen of England has a personal grudge against Ireland, because Dublin refused a site for a statue of her husband, who once said of the Irish that they ought to live on grass, and de- served no more sympathy than the Poles. The speech seals the fate of the Salisbury ministry; and then should Gladstone on re- turning to power refuse o meet the Irish demand in spirit, no reocurse will be left_to_Ireland to obtain her rights bt to" resort to first principies, In other words, she will be compelled to make the physical sacrifices that have been made by all other people similarly ecirenmstanced. What her methods will be is simply a ques- tion of national resources, If she c: meet England inside the rules of war, will have to meet her outside of those rules, and she canuot be blamed if the increasing brutality of England fo) her to adopt a } systew of warfure not laid down in Euglish ] military text books, but which are fess always practiced by English armies when they invade the domains of weak antago- nists,” The Speech in l!u‘ House of Lords, LoxDoN, Jan, 21.—In {he house of lords the Duke of Abercorn moved the address in reply to the speech from the throne. He spoke of the g responsibilities of those who directed the affairs of the government, and said that one cloud was hanging over the empire, and that was the state of Ireland. He mentioned a number of duties which he said the government must per- form in relation to that country, among which were the maintenance of the union, the suppression of persecutions of which he said the national league was guilty and a defense of the loyal Irish mi- nority, Hesaid no statesman, whatever he might be, would sacrifice the interests of the country, The Earl of Scarborongh seconded the motion ot the Duke ol Abercon.

NOW PETITIONING FOR RELIEPs The Ludicrous History of the Trade Dollar—Southerners Pighting ne ternal Revenne Laws—Mar shal's Fees Must Go, Made to Impose on the Mongol, WASIHINGTON, Jan . 91— [Special, (—An- other strong effort 1s being begun to hav aw enacted to redeem the trade dollar, 'l'lln dolie rs of these base coin, wheh are worth only about seventy-five cents each, are pe- titioning congress in the most earnest man= ner. The trade dollar has a Iudicrous history, which may be recited in two brief sentences, The government made it, a light, cheap dol- lar. to impose on the Chinese. The present holders of it started a bear movement, forced down its market value, and bought it in at about seventy-cight eents, to the loss ot the poor classes, expecting congress to eall it in at par. So the government, in the first , and the wealthy eastern financial spee- tors in the latter instance, got pinched in transact It has now Iu‘ull about four years since the trade dollar was placarded in New York and bonght upat a reduetion. At5 per cent in- terest the holders are now just about even if the coin was redeemed at par immediately, ‘There ean be no speeutation wade in any event, and it scems that the holders must stand an actual loss, There is no sympathy for them, however, as their action through= out has been reprehensible. 1t is- not prob- able that the trade dollar, therefore, will be redeemed soon. INTERNAL REVENUE LAWS Southern congressmen ave still hammers ing away atthe int enue laws, Many of them wantinternal revenueandall it ear- rieshwith it repealed. Mr. Ried, of North Cares lina, who has introduced a bill to”this effect, says that the internal revenue system was only originated for the purpose of carrying on the war between the slates; that the sur- plus in the mational treasury shows that the internal revenues are no louger needed for the of sustaining the governmment and y debis; that the duties on imports, if fairly ad- justed, will raise all the revenue needed to support the government, and will at the same time afford legitimate incidental protection to American industries; that the internal e laws are contrary to the genius snd of our government, expensive in their enforcement, and opp: ive in their opera- tions, ‘Lhis is about ihe line of argument gener- ally advaneed by those opposed to internal revenue, But there is not the slightest dan- er of abolishing the internal revenue They cannot, at least in this age, be repealed, for the sentiment throughout the east, west and north is that while the government is to be mainfained the internal revenues are the most equitabte source of drawing that mains tainence from, THE F) SYSTEM MUST GO. It is generally believed by members of con- gress that a bill will be passed which will dis- pose of the fee system of United States mar- shals, clel and other ofticers of the United States courts, The bill will be passed by spring, too, The committec on expenditnres in the department of justice reported one to the last house as the result of a_long investi- gation, and an effort was wade to get i lhrmwh by tacking it onto an_appropriation bill. Fortunately it was not put on the prop: er bill—or may be unfortunately—and it was rejected by the senate as not being germane to the subject matter of tho bill, Some of the most enthusiastic supporters of the proposition to give salaries and no fees 10 the court ofticers say that in some parts of the country the fee system is greatly abused; that marshals and their deputics subject poor. people who are under arrest who are coms pelled to' give hond as witnesses to great hardships, simply to get fees, Altogether, it is believed, the ofticers will not sufier by the new salary bill, for while some will make less out of their oflices -others will malke more by it, —— TEL ’H NOTE Theice gorge at Wheeling (W ) has hroke: Several unimportant e ties are reported.
