Reunion on Battlefield.
i Captain J. P. Merry of Manchester, Ia.,
Immigration agent of the Illinois Central,
who was In the city yesterday, enroute
home from Sac City, where he attended
the biennial reunion of the Twenty-first
Iowa Infantry, stated that the next meet
ing of the survivors of the old regiment
would bo held on the battlefield at Vlcks
burg. Captain Merry was elected presi
dent of the association at the meeting at
Sac City.
Speaking of tho proposed reunion at
Vlcksburg Captain Merry sa!d: "We In
tend to get as many of the old hoys to
gether as we can on the liattlefleld next
year. The number of the survivors of the
old regiment Is rapidly decreasing and we
do not wish to put oft this event too long.
It Is my desire to make It a brigade In
stead of a refjlmentnl reunion and have
the Twenty-second and Twenty-third Iowa
and the Eleventh Wisconsin regiments Join
with us on this occasion. The plan Is to
hold the reunion In front of the Iowa
monument on the battlefield, which was
dedicated last year, and the date will be
May 22. the forty-fifth annlversury of
the memorable assanlt upon the fortifica
tions of Vicksburg."
Captain Merry said there were about
fifty of the survivors of the regiment at
the reunion at Sac City, but tho number
In attendance is growing smaller each

NET EARNINGS INCREASED
Railroads Show Two and Half Mil
lions More Than Last Year.
RAISE IN THE ASSESSMENT
Seven Counties Delinquent on Assess
ment Returns Pol It Shows a
Notable Decrease, in Monies
and Credit.
(From a Staff Correopondent.)
DE8 MOINES. June W.-(Spec!al.)-Flnal
official figures of the earnings of. the rail
roads of Iowa 'were made public today by
the secretary of the executive council and
they show that the railroads have In
creased their groes earnings more than
any year In their history. The total in
crease Is $7,007,84S. Last year there was an
Increase In the gross earnings of S,S8S,Sf2,
which was the greatest up to that time.
The net earnings for the year ending De
cember 31. 113, are $!i2S,933 more than for
the year ending December 81, l'Ju6, while
the net earnings for 16 showed an In
crease of J3,91ii.2S3 over those of lJHH.
The executive council will begin the work
of making the railroad assessment Mon
day, July 8. Comparing tho fluros as
shown In the reports of the railroads to
tho executive council, there will be no sur
prise If something In the neighborhood of
til.OOO.OOO or J7.0C,000 Is addt-d to the as
snssed valuation of the railroads this year.
Howevw, the mattor Is somewhat uncer
tain becauso thora are two new men on
the executive council this your, and there
Is some question as to their attitude on
tho assessment question. Governor Cum
mins and Auditor Carroll aro the two
members who have been on the council
before In maklnsr railroad assessments.
Secretary of State Hayward and Treasurer
Morrow aro new members. For five years,
while Cummins. Carroll, Murtln and Gil-
bertsrm composed the council and made the
assessments, there has been a steady In
crease In the assessments following very
closely the Increase In the Kross earnings.
On a basis of what the council has done
In the rest It could readily b expected
that an Increase In the assessment of
16,000,000 to 17,000,000 would l.e made this
year, because of tho grent prosperity of the
railroads aa shown by their annual reports.
Since the assessment of the railroads haa
played an Important part In every political
campaign for years It Is watched with In
terest by the politicians as well as tha
railroads.
Con fl lot In Um,
There Is a conflict on between the laws of
Iowa and the laws of the Netherlands. The
supreme court. In a case appealed from
Sioux county, Is asked to decide whother
the laws of Iowa or the laws of the Nether
lands shall prevail. D. J. Klunipert, a rich
Hollander of Sioux county, died, leaving an
estate valued at something over 116,000. By
will he distributed 12,600 of It to relatives
and ths Presbyterian church of his locality.
To Felke Klumpert, his nearest relative,
he gave but a nominal sum. The great bulk
of the estate waa given by the terms of tho
will to "the poor of Voorst, Gelderland,
Netherlands." Felke Klumpert haa started
ault to prevent the poor getting the estate,
on the grounds that they are an Indefinite
body with no corporate existence and no
possibility of Identifying them for distribu
ting the money and with no authority of
appointing a trustee to act In their Interests.
The administrators of the estate have ans
wered that, according to the laws of Voorst,
"the poor" la a term which Is applied to
certain persons taken care of by certain
Inatltutlona. It la claimed that they can
thus.be easily Identified snd that they num
ber now 132 persons under the care of ten
Institutions. In the Sioux county district
court It was claimed that this law was no
defense, as the laws of Iowa conflict and
do not recognise the lawa of the Nether
landa. The dlatrlct court decided agatnat
the will and the caaa la now appealed to
tha supreme court.
Seven Counties Short.
There are hut seven countlea that have
not reported through their auditor to the
executive council the assessment of land
snd personal property. These are Appa
noose, Black Hawk, Calhoun, Dubuque,
Guthrie, Lucaa and Pocahontas. The fig
urea reported ralae the question whether
the tax dodgera ara Increasing In Polk
county. Nearly every county shows an
Increaae In Ita moneya and credits except
Polk, which showa a loaa of H.OuO.OOO. the
total reported being about f4.04,(O. Scott
county leada Polk by ovar f3.000.O0O. In ad
dition to Scott and Polk the counties with
moneys and credits over 3.0o0,0u0 thus far
reported are Linn, Cedar, Benton, Washing
ton and Clayton. Pottawattamie is In tha
H.OOO.OuO class.

The sitting, which lasted two an

lowing questions:
First Do practice and legislation admit
of belligerent states transforming mer
chantmen Into warships?
Second In tha caa of merchantmen be

the legal condlttona which belligerent will
have to obeerve?
Third la the present practice relating to
the rapture and confiscation of merchant

In the first question waa generally admitted
