Max O'KcIl Says Sonic Outrageous Things About the AincrlouiiH. LONDON , Nov. 12. Max O'Uell has been giving his opinion in n lecture1 ns to what Americans mo like. His oxaprgcrntians are amusing , out so extravagant us to take away all value from his criticism. Ho declares that no man with any self respect has any thing to do with affairs of state in America , nnd that if a senator accidentally u'alns ad mittance to a select entertainment the cus tom of the master of tins house is to order that the silver ns well its the coats and hats In the hall bo carefully watched. There Is more common sense in his observation ns to Amciican fondness for piofnnlty.

Tlio same poker party , a shot t time after ward , sang hymns over two hours. Max de clares that ho has met men in other-countries who swore and also , he is glad to say , who sang hymns , but Amciica nlono produces men who do both with equal facility. He hints that American women possess many charming qualities , out , they over-dress , and the word simplicity is unknown in America. AiinrclilHts' ' Celebration at Chlungo. CHICAGO , Nov. 12.

[ Special to Tun Bni : ] "What's the matter with Iowa' She's all right 1" Is n common remark In this state since election , The magnitude of the republican victory 1ms surprised everyone. The democrats half hoped to carry the state , or at least bring the republican majority a way down below the nverngo. The repub licans did not think they were going to bo defeated , but they feared that the stnto might not give ns good nn account of Itself as usual. Under these circumstances , it would seem us if Iowa Had done n little better than any other state , considering what was ox- peeled , and what was achieved. No longer ago than the closing days of congress , Uep rosentntlvo Wheeler , of Alabama , declared on the floor of the house , that "oven Iowa Is a doubtful stale. " Chalinmn Brice look pains on several occasions to give public no tice that the democrats had a good ohance to carry Iowa Considering that the republi cans were embarrassed by the tight of the rallioadsngulnst thorn bv the enemies that prohibition hnd mtide. and by the attempt of tlio third patty prohibitionists to break t'lolr line , they would have been gladthieo months ago , to bo guaranteed 10,000 plunrnllty.

Dr.s MOIXES , Ia. , Nov. 12. [ Special to Tin : Br.c. ] This is the llrst time in the history of thu party that the republicans have elected ten congressmen In Iowa. It Is also the first time In many years that they have elcclcd every congressman bub ono , so that they can congratulate themselves upon a sweeping nnd unprecedented victory. The now dele gation contains some excellent tiuioor. Just half of the republicans will bo new members. There will bo a guod deal of interest in see ing what John F. Laecy , the man who beat Weaver in tlie Sixth district , will do. The fact that he did beat that shrewd and nblo campaigner will attract attention to him , ns other men huvo triad to do that , in the last si * c years , and completely failed. Mr. Lacey is n keen , clear-headed lawyer , ono of the best in Iowa , u man of wldo leading and var ied information , und likely to tnko a promi nent rank in congress. The new member from the Ninth district , Judge Hood , \vill furnish the dignity for the whole delegation. Ho is now n Judge of Jtlio supreme court , and he moves about wltli all .the dignity nud solemnity befitting that position. With his long beard und uortly figure , ho looks llko a statesman of the ' "Id school. The judge Is extremely popular , ns his largo majority shows , and he led the ticket in his district. If it hud been anybody else , It would bo proper to say ho ran way ahead , but Judge Hoed novcr runs. No one is known to have ever seen him run , yet he , arrives there , notwithstanding. The young est member of the delegation will uo Mr. J. P. Dolllvcr. elected from the Tenth district. Ho is about thirty-one years old , and already well known tluoughout the state , nnd to some extant in other states , for his popular oratory. He is ia great demand as a cam paign speaker , and wn.s on the stump In Maine , Now York and New Jeit-oy this year before ho began work in his own district.

Ho was chairman of the railway-committee in the last state senate , and prominent in tlie nntl-monopoly legislation of the ; winter. Mr. Flick , who will represent the Eighth , dis trict in plnco of Mr. Andersonis , probably the least known of any of tlio now members. Ho served a term in the legislature govern ! years ago , and has been district attorney of hla , ju dicial district , but has not beciupromlnent m state politics. Of the old momborg , Gear In the First , Conger In the Seventh and Hen derson tire ull well known , whllo Kerr in tlio Fifth and Strublo in the movcnth.have done good work In congress , though they have not taken a very prominent posltirfn there , especially Kerr. .Hayes , from , tne Second district , will bo rather lonesome as the only democrat from Iowa. His majority wasjcut down very much , and his 'next tdrni will probably end his carccY in congress. Taken ns a whole , the Iowa delegation will compare very favorably with that of any stato.

A telegram announcing the murder of Mr. and Mrs. Howe was received in Omaha ycs- teuluy morning , and was at once convoyed to the palatial residence of Charles H. Fowler ler , No. 171S Not th Sixteenth street , by a mounted messenger , who gave it to Mrs. Fowler. She tore it open nnd read. Then placing her handsIito her head , she ? ' uttered a piercing monfi/ / und foil prostrate in the doorway. Her tarce children , none of whom have reached thojrjnujonty , in life , were ( u ' the rear portion'.bf > the residence , nnd hear ing their inotmA * scream , rushed to the rescue , und tho'SpS badly frightened , managed ' aged to convey'i er to a sofa in the parlor , after which aid was summoned. After lying in a seml-conscions condition for a Hhort period , during x > inch tlmo she clung tightly to the illfated.fticssago , recovered her senses , and rcrcttU the tidings again , whllo scalding tears trjiilrted down her chocks. The victims of the rfci > ortcd tragedy were her aged father and , mpther. Her husband , C. H. iToxvler , who is of the milling ( Irm of Grant & Fowler , was .scot for , and upon reading the disnjittm immediately wired au Answer stating that he uud the family would start on the cniloqt0cu.si ) > bound train. The JUilcgraut ho pan't jvasaddressed to L. J. Hedge , who fltst ijiiiartod | the information to tho-Fowler hons61ioll-r and who la also a son- in-law of the murdered Howes. Mr. and Mrs. Fowler , accompanied by their tnree children , loft on the ( > : . ' ! . * > Kock Island train for the scene of the affair , yes terday evening. Peter Howe , one ot the victims , was a banker ut WeiiQiin , III , , und conducted an ex tensive business under the firm name of Ppter Howe & , Sons. His wealth is ratot ( at between sTOO.OOO and 51,01)0,000. ) The Howes resided about one-half mile out of Wcnona , which Is a hamlet of about two thousand souls. The ugcd couple lived by themselves , und no house was located in the immcdluto locality. The husband wus seventy-six joars of age , and his wife had passed her seventieth milestone In life. The only occu pant of the house , aside from the aged couple , was a domestic , of German parentage. The girl had been in tlio employ of the family for a considerable length of time. time.Mr. . Howe was in thohabit , of reaching the bank every morning in the year nt thu usual hour for banks to open for business. But a small amount of money was kept in the bunk at any period , and In case the murder wns committed for that purpose it must have boon executed by somebody who hnd been misled as to the amount to bo secured. Ono theory is that the author of the crime is ono-Barnhart , who is said to bo the step father of the servant girl employed in the Howe household. An Associated Press tele gram to TJIK BEB stated thut as soon as the suspicion of Bornhart'H complicity in the murder hnd been tlioroughly aroused. A mob of the representative citizens pf the vil lage was organised for the purpose of lynch ing him , When captuicd. Ho was given hot puisuit , and evidently realizing that he would moot with instant death should ho be overtaken , drew u knife from his pocket nnd cat his own tiiiont , dying in a short timp.
