WASHINGTON , Dec. 14. United States
Consul Tingle , at Ilrunswlck , Germany , has
made some Interesting observations to the
State department as to a method by which the
manufacturers of the United States may de
rive most substantial benefits from our con-
fiular service and give u tremendous Impetus
to American ifdde , whlch 'ls now debarred
from foreign markets through the superior
energy nnd co-operation of British and Ger
man traders. In brief , he suggests that the
manufacturers of one class of gooda through
ono of these" associations call upon the State
department to procure through Its consuls
In a selected country full Information as to
the kind of products In their HUB that might
be profitably Introduced. To this end. the
consuls are to consult local merchants and
boards of trade. Upon these reports the
ofllcers of the association w'ouhl ship to the
foreign ports samples of their goods conalcnsd
to the consul , who would hire at the expense
of the exhibitors a proper showman and dis
play the wares to the local merchants Invited
to bo prosnit , giving them full descriptions
of the various exhibits , stiitemcnta of price ,
tariff rate ; ' and other essential Information.
The publication of the report by the State
department may be regarded aa nn evidence
of Its willingness to undertake Its share of
the proposed work , If It should he requested
to do so by the American manufacturers.

WASHINGTON , Dec. 14. The report that
the Kuropean powers had united In a demand
on Japan for the evacuation of Corea Is re
garded at the Japanese legation here as a
renewal ot unfounded rumors current some
time ago. It Is asserted by ofllclals that
Japan's evacuation of the Llao Tung penin
sula Is already accomplished. This was
begun as soon as China paid the indemnity
Homo weeks ago. At that time Minister
Kurlno of Jupan made an olllclal statement
to the effect that the withdrawal would be
followed by a general evacuation of the
Japanese forces in Corea , except so far as
they would be required to protect Japan's
Interests. Mr , Kurlno particularly disavows
a purpose on tli- > part of Japan to establish
a protectorate over Corfa. It Is said nt the
legation here that these conditions remain
imcluinKed and that the withdrawal of the
troops Is proceeding as fast as practicable.
Under these circumstances the report of an
other demand by the powers U not credited
by the Jopancio ofllclals.

WASHINGTON , Dec. 14. An epoch In the
progress of metal working Is Indicated , In
the Judgm-nt of United States Consul General
Muu3ii at Frankfort , In the development In
Germany of the process of making tubular
forma directly from hot metal Ingots con-
lined In a mold Into which a suitable shaped
Bleel mandrel Is driven by hydraulic pres
sure. The product Is oo much superior to
tubular forme as ordinarily constructed , nnd
Is 10 economical that the German govern
ment has required eleven ateel t'hclls tor
guns to bo made In this way. Cannon tubes
up to and biiyond pU Inches callbro are
cheaply and ipe-'dlly produced , copper tubes
of ordlniry size and any length up to twenty
feet and any desired thickness are turned
cut , and Mr. Mason predlctH that the new
process will revolutionize machinery con
struction In making It possible anil economical
to substitute tubes for solid axles , shafting ,
driving rods and other parts.

WASHINGTON , Dec. 14. The statement
from Ilcrlln that the United States embassy
has begun negotiations looking to th
amelioration of the condition of thj grea
American Insurance companies , which have
been $3 hampered by local restrictions lin
posed by the German authorities as to prjc-
tlcally suspend business , should practical ! }
b ? construed by means that Minister Uunyon
lt > again pressing the attempt already In
itiated to secure the action askd.
When the diplomatic correspondence o ;
the past year is sent to congress It wll
doubtless b ; found this matter has cngagoi
the earnest efforts of the United Stats : gov
ernment throught the Department o ! State
and Mr. Uunyon for many months , and , as a
matter of fact , tlie strong reference to ths
subject by Pr. sldent Cleveland in his rec.'n'
message to congress carries the conviction
that he has not permitted the restrictive
actions of the German authorities to pass
without protest that will appear In the cor-
rcspoiuienc * .
It Is regarded here as at least a peculiar
coincidence that the German government ,
while explicitly denying any Intention ol
discriminating against the United Slat's In
the matter of life Insurance companies and
meat products , always In touching upon the
subject , otllclnlly and unofficially , makes some
"ignlllcant reference to the alleged discrim
ination practiced by th United States
against the German beet sugar.

WASHINTGON , Dec. 14. Complaints sim-
lar to that coming from Chicago ore fre
quently received at the State department.
Ajr fifteen years the department at Intervals
ms engaged In diplomatic correspondence
with the Italian government on this subject ,
and apparently It Is -Impossible to arrive
at a conclusion satisfactory to ourselves as
when it originated. The whole difficulty lies
n the. repeated return ! of the Italians to
enter into a naturalization treaty with tlie
United States , by the terms of which each
government would agree to relinquish control
over Its former subjects who may be na-
urallzed citizens of tlie other. As the case
low stands , the Italian government does not
luny the American citizenship of a naturat-
zed Italian , but It does Insist that our
laturallzatlou shall not operate to relieve
he individual of the obligation of military
Bcrvlca of Italy that may have. Inured before
laturallzatlou. There have been a half
lozen cases of the' ' kind brought to the nt-
entton of the department In recent years ,
ind finding Itself Impotent to prevent the
execution of these ilcrnnndy , the republic has
varncd naturalized citizens of Italian birth
of the consequences of a visit to Italy

COLUMHUS , O. , Dec. 14. With simple ,
yet most solemn and Impressive ceremonies ,
all that Is mortal of Allen 0. Thurmin ,
Jurist , ttatcsman anJ cltl7.cn , was consigned
to Mother Harth. The entire city felt the
loss and all Joined with the bereaved family
In Its grief. H was the desire of the de
ceased that there should be but the simplest
exercises when the end came , and In accord
ance with this deslro were the arrangements
for the sad ceremony of today wade. Two
years ago , when the wife of the venerable
statesman was laid to rest , Hcv. J. L. Drover
conducted the services , and so Impressed was
Judge Thtmnnn that he secured from the
minister a promise that should fate permit
the same services should bo repeated over Ills
remains.
Ths funeral was held at the Thurmau resi
dence , at the corner of Hlch street and Wash
ington nvenue , at 10 o'clock this morning ,
and even before the appointed hour the house
was surrounded with sorrowing friends , who
were gathered to pay the' ' last tribute to the
memory of the dead. There , mingled to
gether , wore the state official and the private
citizen , the substantial business man and
the mechanic from the humbler walks of life ,
all come to testify to their appreciation of
the sterling qualities and high character cf
the deceased. With bedlmmcd eyes they
stood exposed to the wintry blasts , but a
small portion of the number being able to
gain access to the house , awaiting the time
when they should be permitted to llle through
and take a last look at him whom they had
all known and loved.
The Thurman club , named for the "Old
Roman , " and In whose affairs the dead sena
tor took the greatest interest during his
lifetime , met at Its club rooms and marched
In a body to the house. Governor Mc-
Klnley and the state ofllclals met Iti accord
ance with a prearranged plan and together
proceeded to the residence , as did also the
city officials headed by Mayor Allen. The
postmaster , acting under special permission
from Washington , had closed the office and
all the employes , as well as the othsr govern
ment officials In the city , attended. And In
addition to those were numerous private
citizens from every walk In life , making an
Immense concourse. Probably at .no time
has there been a more notable Gathering In
the city of Columbus on such an pccaslon.
The members of the family , the governor
and party and such of the friends as could
be accommodated were admitted to the house
previous to the beginning cf the services and
then the doors were closed until the brief
exPrclses were concluded. Hev. J ; L. Grover ,
who conducted tha services , Is a life-long
friend of the statesman and is hlnuelf bowed
down by the weight of years , having passed
Ills 83th milestone In life's Journey , and his
whlto head shook and his voice trembled as
ho proceeded.
Ho began by reading the Ninetieth psalm ,
and followed It by a brief prayer. Services
wer the most simple In character , there
bolng no music , and consisted of the reading
of the Episcopal burlol service found In
Corinthians , xv , 20. Following th.s Rev.
Mr. Grover recited the Lord's prayer and then
pronounced the benediction. There was noth
ing whatever-In the nature of a sermon , nor
were there any words spoken other than here
Indicated. Simplicity had been the desire
of the dead man regarding the funeral serv
ices , and his wishes were respected-
The remains 'were In a plain but elegant
black icasket , and rented In the archway
between 'the parlon and the hall. Tire
features were very lifelike , the end having'
come without the ravages of disease , and
: here was a calm and peaceful look on the
face.

On the lid was a plain silver plats bearing

For two hours after the services had boon
concluded a steady stream of peopl passed
hrcugh the residence viewing the remains.
There were few floral designs. On the
Basket were palm leaves , holly and floral de
signs , the utmost simplicity being observed.
Having consented under pressure to share
.heir grief with the public during the morn-
ng , the family was left alone with their dead
after the remains had , been viewed. Dur-
ng the afternoon the Immediate members of
the fumlly of the deceased accompanied the
remains to the beautiful Greenlawn cemetery ,
west of the city , whore the body was con
signed to the grave. The services here
vero oven more simple than those at the
louse , consisting only cf a prayer as the body
vas lowered to Its last resting place , Rev. K.

jearers were mostly grandsons and near de
scendants of the Judge , and were as follows :

DES MOINKS. Dec. It. ( Spechl Tele
gram. ) Eighteen months ago Waller Scott ,
a young business man. fell In love with
Clara Dawson , the pretty girl daughter of
S. R. Dawson of this city. Scott's attentions
lo the girl were viewed unfavorably by her
father , and , after trouble between him and
Scott , the girl was taken by her father be
fore the commission on Insanity , which
found her liimtio and ordered her cent to
the asylum at Mount Pleasant. Scott set
about to get her released. He secured tha
aid of prominent people and several women
societies here , and they went before the
superintendent of the asylum , convinced him
that the girl was sane and had been the vic
tim of her father's machinations and secured
her release. Scott went to meet her , but her
father was on the ground , and took her
away. He took her to Chicago and placed
her In a convent. After several months
Scott discovered where she was and went to
Chicago. It took several days to locate ths
convent , but at last he discovered It , and
spent his tlmo walking around the building ,
After three days he was rewarded by n sight
of the girl at a window. Ho signaled her
and shs threw him a letter. He then went
to the police and told them the story , hut
tluy could not help him , He had a hard
tlmo to keep from being taken Into custody.
Finally ho went to the convent and told the
ctory to the sisters , who dccldjit to release
the girl. Her father was sjiit for , however ,
and ho took the girl away.
This tlmo he took her to Ohio and placed
her In a private school. Scott lost track
of her for a time , but at last learned whore
she was. Then her father took her awny
and she was sent to Kcokuk to live with
a friend. Scott wrote letters , one of which
was Intercepted , In which he urged the girl
to let him como and marry her. Her father
got one of these , and swore out a warrant
In the federal court , charging Scott with
sending obscene matter through the malls ,
Scott meantlms had gone to Keokuk. Of
ficers followed him and traced him to the
house where the girl was staying. Ho ar
rived only a few moments ahead of them
and was In the arms ot his sweetheart when
he was arrested. He was brought back here
and gave bonds , proving that the charge
against him was groundless. The girl's
father brought her back here at ths same
time.
Todiy Scott went to the home of the
girl , accompanied by some friends , to de
mand that he bo allowed to marry her. She
has but recently become of age. When the
party entered the house the girl met them.
Scott asked her to go with him and she re
fused. She told him she no longer loved
or wished to marry him , and he went away
disheartened.

The Elk township , Cerro Oordo county , ofll-

uel Matheson , Jr. , who was sent a few days
ago to the asylum at Independence. Mnthescn
had been laboring for sometime under the
delusion that some one was trying to rob him
and had been patrollng his premises with a
shotgun , taking pot shots at chance passers ,
much to their Inconvenience and alarm. After
this had been going on , as the olllcers thought ,
about long enough , a deputy -sheriff was sent
to his bouse to take him Into custody. On
his arrival Matheson met him at the door
with a loaded rifle , and being unable to make
Aie crrcst without considerable danger both
; o himself and Matheson , the officer returned
to town for reinforcements. Ths following
day ho paid another visit to the plac ? In com
pany vflth two other deputies. Matheson saw
the party coming , and making his appearance
at an upper window with two rcvolverrs un
ceremoniously opened fire. The. deputies fired
SDveral shots In the air In the hops of fright
ening the lunatic , but falling In fills took
refuge behind tree ! In the dooryard until
Matheson had emptied his weapons. Instead
of awaiting a rush , ho then sallied out and
started across a neighboring field with the
ofHccrs In pursuit , and after a long chase was
finally cornered and forced to surrender.
Senator Hovrait on I'rnlillillloii.
WEBSTER CITY. la. . Dec. 14. ( Spclal. )
The prohibition question Is bringing a world
of grief to Senator J. E. Rowan of this dis
trict. The senator Is a < minister of the gospel
*
pel , and wSien the mulct lawwas brought up
In the last senate ho voted in favor of It. It was
this veto that has led his friends to mistrust
that he would favor a manufacturers' bill.
The feeling became so strong that ho was
openly charged with sympathy for the manu
facture of liquor In the state. He Is out with
a letter now wlilch will probably settle all
discussion of his position. He says : "I am
for rssubmlsslon and against a manufacturers'
bill. I have never b-cn afraid to state my
position on any public question , but I will
not commit myself to vote positively for or
against any measure because circumstances
mlg'ht ' arise wherein It wculd be for the bst
Interests of the state , and of the republican
party , which In my estimation is the best
conservator of the highest Interests of the
state , to vote contrary to my pledged position.
I again declaremy Intention of maintaining
a conservative position upon this matter. The
extremists who advocate riding rough shod
over the other element of the party by
passing a ruin to compel every republican
member of the legislature to vote for resub-
mlsslon and against a manufacturers' bin will
wreck the party If they liave their way. I
voted for the mulct law , and I believe with
some llttlo remodeling It will bo the best
mcasuro obtainable ) looking toward practical
temperance reform. It is susceptible of dem
onstration that the prohibitionists who voted
for that law saved the state from a license
law and the entire repeal of the prohibition
law , I shall never ally myself with t'ae ex
treme prohibitionists , and I rely upon the
good judgment of the republican voters of my
district to give mo an endorsement of my
position. " _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

A bill has been prepared by one of the

the next legislature providing for legalizing
the manufacture of lliiuoni In tlio state ,
Copies linve been sent to nil the members
with the reuueit that they make any sug
gestions frr changes which they believe nec
essary. It Is not announced who Is the
author of the bill , but U Is understood tint
ho Is one ot tha Dps Molnes members. The
measure Is brltf. It provides that In any city
In which thf sale of liquors Is allowed under
the Martin mulct law by reason ot the filing
of tSio proper consrnt petition , liquors may be
manufactured. In order to prottct the cap
ital eiiKigrd In the lmslne < ! i from the danger
of having ths consent petition withdrawn. It
Is provided that In this event the manufacture
may continue , but none of the product may
be sold for 111 gal use In the community \vlurc
It Is made so long as the consent to talre Is
withheld. There nro careful provisions under
which manufacturers must report to the state
thtlr amounts cC product and the disposal
made of It.
A number of members are In the city today
making arrangements for quarters during thp
session. Several wsrc Interviewed about the
measure , but were noncommittal as to provi
sions. The republicans declared , however , Hint
their caucus would take no action on Hie
liquor question and would leave nil members
to vote as they saw fit. They were of the
opinion a mnnufacturlng bill would pass , but
thought the measure outlined would hav ? to
be materially amended.
