CHARLESTON, S. c., July 9.--The peo-

thing in their power to make the troops

for them by the city are the best to be

TIE 1oWA,S HURTS.


According TO Captain Evans's story of
the battle, the Iowa was struck twice by
Spanish shells, and one shell exploded,
while the other is embedded, unexploded,
near the water-line Of the ship This last
shot may prove troublesome, as an uneX-
ploded shell near the water-line is not a
desirable adjunct to battleship. From
the light manner in which Captain Evans
speaks Of the damage, it is not regarded
as very serious BY the officials here, yet
it IS probably enough 10 keep the Iowa
from accompanying the Eastern squadron
to the coast Of Spain. A decision as TO
whether she viii be Withdrawn will not
be made until the report is received on
the condition OF the ship.

Their four large guns are Of lS-inch type.
while those Of the Iowa are l2-inch. In
other respects their batteries are similar
TO the Iowas They are commonly re-
garded as better sea-going ships than the
Iowa.
The department has not decided TO in
crease the number Of Watson's ships as
has been reported. as II is felt that the
list announced yesterday Is quite ample

\ outlook.
| 1t is known that General Shafter has
ost nothing by the armlstice. His men
lre rested, the commissary improved the
! roads cleared, and his artillery IS now
| almost completely placed in a most eff
,ective manner. None Of these things ex-
| rsted at the beginning Of the armistice.
! on the other hand, the Spanish forces
| have largely diminished their slender
| stock of provisions, and have steadily
| lost in confidence. AS soon as they ara
| convinced that they will be humanely
| treated and fed, and will not be subjected
| to inhumane treatment (and the War
Department proposes that they shall be
| thus protected it is expected there will
be many desertions from the Spanish
lines.
| ARMISTICB IDEA UNPOPULAR.
There is the strongest indispostion on
the part OF the strategists to entertain
favorably the proposition said to be un-
der consideration at Madrid. looking to
an armisdce Of ten days, in order to con-
slider terms of peace. They believe that
the United States has everything to lose
and nothing TO gain by accepting such
a proposition. During that time Camara's
squadron might find safe lodgTnent in
some strongly fortified coast town, like
Ferrol. and thus elude Watson's pur-
suit.
Admiral Sampson contributed nothing
further during the day to his first dis
patch announcing the possibility Of saving
the Spanish ships Colon, Maria Teresa,
and Vizcaya. Telegraphic difficulties have
been encountered, but it is not believed
there has been anything of Importance
for the Admiral to chronicle to-day.
WATSON'S FLEET.
Naval officials feel that another change
may have to be made in the makeup Of
the Eastern squadron which is TO strike
blow against the Spanish coast, as the
battleship Iowa suffered some hard knocks.
during the recent naval battle with Ger |
vera's squadron, and it may be necessary
to substitute one of the other battleships |
pending repairs on the Iowa. No decision
on the change has been reached thus far, |
as the department has not received the |
report showing the exact condition of our
ships after the battle. In the mean time,
the Associated Press interview with Cap
tain Robley T. Evans, of the Iowa, leads
the naval officials to believe that the |
Iowa viii require considerable overhauling
before she is ready for trip across the
ocean.

Old settlers remember the young ply
sician who came to st. Paul in SO and
hung out his shingle. He was not very
prosperous in those days, but he had
capacity for work and his personality
stood him in good stead. In no other
profession do social qualities help so
much as in medicine and when he had
established practice by those quail
ties he held it easily enough by his
knowledge Of medicine. He was never
among the starvelings Of his profession
and he was prominent a very few years
after he came here.

medicine and was getting along in the
world as a manufacturer of a proprie-
tary article He was Of real use to his
neighbors in many Of the affairs Of life,
and he established a popularity that is
bound to be of much avail to him now.
Dayten's Bluff Needed Schools.

highly valued on general business af-

genial, a good companion and q man of

world is large, but he knows more
about the administration Of municipal
affairs in Berlin than he does about
the aldermanic attributes of Mr..

His children and those of his neigh
bors We're obliged to travel all the way
down to the Lincoln school, and 1t was
impossible to get the man on the school
board as the representative of the First
and Second wards to secure any sort of
acknowledgements of the wants of the
people in that district.
DR.. Schiffmann was exasperated at
the lack of school facilities and he was
urged by his neighbors to accept a
place on the school board In those
days the office was elective, and 1t was
one thing to want a place on the school
board and quite another to get it. DR..
Schifmann was not much Of a politi-
clan; he had no chance Of doing any
thing In the way of preliminary work.
When the men had been nominated by
the Democrats and Republicans, it was
found that neither of them were Of the
material that should be on the board,
First and Second wards, and DR.. Schdff-
mann's neighbors wanted him to run.
He entered the race as an independent
and his neighbors testified to their be-
lief in his capacity to do something for
them by voting for him. When the
ballots were counted he had as much
Of majority over both Of his oppo-
nents as they had votes combined.

tatfon of the people Of his district by
putting up the sort Of fight that was

but he refused to do so two years ago,
and now he wants to be apparently
forced to do it. An action will be
brought and the matter given the color
of legality by that means.
This understanding revives the his
tory in the event which closed the
Scannell connection with the campaign
two years ago, when the support of the
members of the gang was obtained fog
the Republican nominees for the lump
sum of $500. The figure is absolutely
correct and this cheapness gives color
to the suggestion that they were in
earnest about throwing Erwin down for
the 800 that was asked of Sheriff
Wagner.
Money was a very scarce article with
the Scannell crowd two years ago.
They had gone to the expense of hiring
Market hall and doing some printing,
and it was hard work to get the price
together to file the nominating papers
of the candidates. The total cost of the
filing was $3.50, and in order to do any
business" it was necessary to have
the papers filed. The money was scrap
ed together and paid into the treasury.
After that was done the Republicans

nection in every country of the civilized
world. He is a man of action, whether
that action takea the form of explor-
ing for orchids In Mexico or debating
contracts In St. Paul. He is such a
man as sensible men select for per-
forming offices of trust. A glance at
some OF the principal features of the
life of DR.. Schiffmann, as illustrating
the whole career Of the man might not
be amiss:
Enlisted In the Army.
DR.. Schiffmann was a youngster
earning his education in medicine
when the war broke out. When he was
old enough to enlist he left his studies
and went into the army-not as an Of
ficer and man OF influence, but as the
great mass of patriots went mas a
private.
When he came out of the army he
didn't wait for good times to come. He
went back to his work and his studies
and he completed his course and got
his degree in medicine according to the
schedule he had made for himself early
in life-being just so far behind as he
was years in the army.
His capacity as a student and his
army record gained for him an ap-
pointment as assistant surgeon in
frontier regiment, and he went to work
at his profession in a country where
the wounds he had to treat were those
caused by the tomahawk of the Kiowa
or the spear of the Comanche.

mann found it impossible to settle

Man of Pleasant Personality, Good
Executive Ability, Successful in
Business, With His Purse and
Heart Open to Those Who Need
It-Friend OF CoIored People

The drawback to having a modest
man as candidate for mayor is easily
made apparent to one who tries to get
DR.. Schiffmann to tell something about
himself that 1t would be pleasing to
his friends to have everyone know. 1t
is perhaps one of his best features that
he does not like to have his good deeds
shouted forth from the house tops.
He Is not diffident man, but he is
modest to such an extent that even the
expression of public appreciation that
takes the form Of noisy demonstration
at a political meeting Expresses him.
1t is very fortunate for him that DR..
Schiffmann has plenty of friends who
are in no way backward in telling of
the straight forwardness of his life and
of the good deeds he has done. An

A Twin City exchange says: "The re-
suit of the nomination of A. B. Ovitt,
the president of the Cycle Path asso-
citation, will be watched with much in
terest by people generally, as well as
by the wheelmen. Mr. Ovitt, in running
for the assembly, stands distinctively
as the candidate of wheelmen, without
regard to party lines, he being the only
man on any ticket that has been prom
inent in wheeling interests. He. con-
scented to run only after being urged
by many wheelmen to do SO.
'tHe is lawyer, about forty years of
age, and stands high among his profess
sional brethren. In Minneapolis, from
which city he moved to St. Paul, he
had a long record of opposition to cor
rupt combinations, and was recognized
as friend Of organized labor.
Should he be elected to the assem-
bly,, it is predicted that before his
term expires the tailoring men will look
upon him as one of their best friends
in the council. Should his majority be
large, the wheel will become a recog-
MID factor in politics."
