law is in accord with the spirit OF the
constitution. There Is practically only
one question In 1t, and that is whether
the law Is In the nature Of a criminal
statute or to be classed along with laws
for vaccination, street cleaning and po-
lice protection from things offensive
If it is a penal statute 1t Is all wrong.
II 1t Is not penal statute then, accord
ing to the lawyers. 1t is a very awk-
wardly drawn law and subject to much
criticism. There have been laws for
sending drunkards to institutions dat
ing as far back as 1900 in >4e states and
these have been held constitutional on
one ground or another. Various states.
as Maryland. Wisconsin, New York and
Ohio, have had laws relating to this
subject. But the Iowa law is unlike
any other. It was patterned after the
criminal laws and yet was intended to
be not relating to crime. 1t provides
for warrants of arrest and paroles and
reports and sentences and yet fails to
provide for any jury trial or directly
for any notice and opportunity for de-
nAtnntyxO shrd shr shrd hrt shrdlush
Tense. So 1t appears that the courts
are much puzzled over 1t. Judge Rob-
erts, in the southern part Of the state,
held the law to be all right, when 1t was
attacked but admitted that there was
some doubt about it. Judge McVey
here has invited the county attorney
and the attorney general of the state
to present their views of the matter and
they have done SO.

nor plurality OF $4,000 like that which
was given in Iowa to the champion Of

Dental election. It will be cheerfully
admitted by every republican politic-
ian who Is at all informed as to the
state Of affairs in Iowa this year that
the vote Is bound to be light one and
there will be corresponding falling OFF
IN the pluralities for the republican
candidates. II the state goes $4,000 re-
publican next Tuesday the party lead
ers here will be highly pleased. II the
plurality falls to 10000 they will not be
at all surprised. It is regarded as in-s
evitable that there should be some re-
action from the extreme lop-sideness
Of the political situation, for there are
some voters who believe that 1t is not
good for even q good party to have
things all its own way and there are
weary OF going to the polls year after
year just to maintain the party organi-
zaticn and pile up big majorities. In
fact. biennial election amendment
would be acceptable to many this year.
It would be popular IN many parts OF
the state. As for the congressional dis
tricts estimates are hard to get. There
are only four districts about which
there has been any question at all.
These are the First, Second. Third and
sixth. Republican estimates show q
plurality OF between 1000 and 1900 In;

PHILIPPINE FINANCES.
Congress is Petitioned for Quick and
 Permanent Relief.

Manila, Jan. 7.-Numerous meetings of merchants and others have been held re- gently, at which resolutions were passed urgently requesting Congressional action to meet the financial situation nere. Since the ratio was officially changed for the first quarter of 1902 to be $40 Mexican silver to one American gold dollar, busi- ness transactions of any sort have be- come difficult. The majority of the busl- ness houses have raised their prices to 10 per cent, and some houses refuse to accept any but American coin, which is difficult to obtain, owing to the vast spec ulative shipments of coin during the past few months. Some bankers refuse to rec oenize the Government ratio, and are following their own ratio at one Ameri- can gold dollar to two Mexican silver dollars Even the American Govern ment's employees whose salaries are pay able in Mexican dollars. object to the change, owing to the large increase in prices.
 Government checks, not because they have any trouble of obtaining the money, but because of the frequent long delays over trifiing Irregularities
 The postal authorities refuse to accept Mexican dollars for American dollars at any ratio.

THE SENATE.

Washington. Jan. 7.-The first notes of the contest between the Nicaragua and Panama routes for the isthmian canal were heard in the Senate today. Mir. Morgan offered and secured the adoption of a resolution which indicathed his pur- pose to have the Committee on Inter- oceanic Canals inquire into the relations alleged to exist between the Transconti- mental Railway Companies of the United States and the Parama Canal Company. In explanation of the resolution, MT. Morgan declared that the alleged rela- tions were q wicked monopoly, which al- ready had cost the people of the Pacific coast millions of collars. The relations involved the control by the Panama Ca nal Company of the Panama Railroad Company and the agreement existing be- tween certain railroads and the Pacific Mail Company.
 The Senate paid a compliment to Sena- tor Foraker by adjourning until o'clock tomorrow in order that Senators might attend the marriage of Miss Foraker, which Is to occur at noon tomorrow, without interfering with legislative du- ties.

HEPBURN'S ELoQUENTPLEA
He Urges the Immediate Pas
 sage of His Bill.
In the Senate Morgan Starts Inquiry Into Relations of Trans-Con- tinental Railways and the
 Panama Canal Company.

Washington, Jan. ,7.-(Special. .)-Repre- sentative Richardson spoke for thirty minutes on the Nicaragua Canal Dill in the House today. He followed MT. Davis of Florida and made one of the ablest arguments of the day in favor oi the canal. The crowded galleries were unusually quiet during his argument, the visitors paying close attention to ms entire speech, while members of the House followed the Alabama Represen- tative with intense interest.
 Judge Richardson confined his argu- ments mainly to setting forth the advan- tages this country would derive from the water way connecting the Atlantic and Pacific There is one question Of which there can. be no doubt" he said "It is that the American people have de- termined to build canal on that isthmus and they are looking to this Congress to appropriate the money for the work"
 He made particularly strong plea for the canal in behalf of Alabama and the South. "The fact that it would benent the South," he declared can be nc objection to it. .. It has been long recog- nized that what benefits one part of the country benefits the whole country" He strongly favored the Nicaragua route as against the Panama route.
 Judge Richardson's eloquent and able remarks were frequently cheered by members of the House.

CHILE WILL WITHDRAW.
Determined to Prevent Adoption of
 Compulsory Arbitration.

Mexico City, Jan. 7.-Though the arbi- tration difficulty Is not settled the situa- ton is improving but it still remains probable that if the Chileans are as good as their word, they will withdraw from the conference. The Chileans have pre- sented to the officials of the conference a memorandum stating that in whatever form the compulsory plan is presented to the conference they will withdraw. In making this statement, the delegates of Chile recall the conditions under which While accepted the invitation to the con- ference, viz: That if any attempt were made to introduce into the conference vexatious questions for the purpose of covertly or openly antagonizing Chile the delegates of that country would be withdrawn.
 The object that the Mexican delegates and W. l. Buchanan, the American mem- Der of the Arbitration Committee, have been pursuing during recent negotiations has been to find a method bya which the compulsory plan might he introduced in such a manner Us to satisfy its advocates and at the same time to avoid the separa- ton of the Chileans Now that the lat ter say that in whatever form the plan is introduced they will withdraw, the friends of the compulsory plan are all the more insistent to have their conven- ton introduce into the conference con currently and on exactly the same foot ing as the projert by which allegiance to adhere to The Hague convention. If they have their way and the Chileans carry out their thre at theni the conference will have to finish it's labors without the Chileans But there is an impression here that the Chileans are playing a bluff

WILL HEAR THE APPEAL
ROOSEVELT TO REVIEW THE SCHLEY VERDICT.
Result of Conference at White House Monday Between the President and the Rear Admiral
 Statement of Counsel.

Washington. Jan 1.-The object of Admiral Schiey's visit to the White House yesterday was to request the President to entertain and consider an appeal for the reversal of the action of Secretary Long and the disapproval q the majority Judgment of the court oi inquiry. President granting the Admiral's re- quest
 Messrs Raynor and Teague today will assist Admiral Schley in the preparation of the appeal.
 The interview with the President was arranged in advance and at its conclu. sion Admiral Schley left the White House in a satisfied state of mind.
 He had been given full opportunity to present the case from his standpoint and to acquant the President with many details of which the latter could not have any knowledge.
 While AfLl.hg. Sclsley would not make any statement regarding the matters dis cussed. holding that an interview be- tween a naval officer and his comman- der-in-chief should be regarded as con fidential, it is understood that he brought to the Presidents attention many of the alleged injustices and discrepancies of the majority report of the court Of in- quiry.
 Admiral Schley's interview with the President was the result of his determi- nation to exhaust every means in his power to overturn the judgment which has been rendered against him.
 His new appeal will be different from that submitted to the Navy Department, bringing out some new facts which have an important bearing upon the contro- versy.
 Messrs Raynor and Teague. counsel for Rear Admiral Schley, came over from Baltimore today and were closeted for several hours with their client
 Admiral Schley would not discuss the matter beyond stating that he had asked his counsel to come down here that he might acquaint them with the result of his talk with President Roosevelt and agree upon the best method of bringing the facts before the President. It is un- derstood to be the wish of President Roosevelt that the matter be presented as early possible.
 The following statement was given out by Admiral Schley's counsel at the con clusion of the conference:
 Admiral Schley has concluded. after mature and careful deliberation. to ap- peal from the majority decision of the court of inquiry to the President of the United States as commander-n-chief of the army and navy. The action having been determined upon. nothing more can be divulged at this time, regulations of the navy being such that the nature of the proposed appeal cannot be revealed except by the President after the formal documents have been filed with him."
 MT. Raynor stated that 1t will take some time to prepare the appeal and that 1t will not be filed with the President until after the return of Admiral Schley from visit to Savannah about the goth inst
