discretionary power must be lodged In
some body of men at some time. for the
bill contemplates a state reformatory
and a penitentiary and changes pac<
and forth, with indeterminate sem
tences and many other features that
are entirely new to Iowa penal stat
utes, but based on experience In other
states. The senate, despite some oppo-
sition, passed the bill as it came from
Senator Emmert, practically without
change. There were futile efforts to Sc
cure amendments which would have
almost completely destroyed the bill.
There was an attack on the indetermi-
nate sentence feature which Is an es-
sential in reformatories. The expert
ence of all penologists is that where the
indeterminate sentence is permitted
and the prisoners are uncertain as to
when they are to get out save that theit
discharge depends entirely upon good
behavior, there is better discipline and
reform is easier. The Iowa bill as II
now goes to the house is based entirely
on the experience of reformatories
elsewhere. AT Elmira, where more than
10000 persons have gone thru the re-
formatory, more than 83 per cent have
been completely reformed and have
never again been guilty OF any crime.
In Iowa experience has demonstrated
that the short term prisoners are hard
est to handle. They feel that they are
in for only a short time and that 1t
matters little to them what their de-
pertinent is. Those who are in for
longer terms know that they have a
way of securing release earlier and
they avail themselves of the opportu-
nifty. BY adopting the indeterminate
sentence idea at Anamosa the persons
in the reformatory will understand that
unless they reform and show a right
disposition they will not get out for
many years and this will have salu-
tary effect. After the discussion yes
terday. it is evident that members OF
the senate reached this conclusion for
the motion to destroy the indetermi-
nate sentence feature received only two
or three votes.
In regard to the expense of the
change Judge Robinson, of the state
board of control says that 1t will In
time involve some expense In the mat
ter of fitting up workshops at Anamosa.
But the legislature is asked now to
build a new machine shop and school,
both of which are needed. The present
school at Anamosa is conducted in the
cell house. A building is needed. A
good workshop is also needed. The
quarries would continue to be oper-
ated as at present. for only a small
proportion of those who go to Anamosa
are worked in the quarries. In New
York the men are taught twenty-six
different trades or industries and all
are turned out fully equipped for earn
ing living. II the reformatory idea is
adopted in Iowa three out of five of the
persons convicted will go to the re-
formatory and not to the penitentiary.
The average age of all prisoners In
Iowa is between % and 80 years. In the
reformatory the men would learn
trades and be earning something for
themselves or their families. While the
idea is new in Iowa 1t Is not new in
other states and there is abundance of
precedent for everything found in the
preSent bill

Boston. Feb. 26-The first message
from Miss Stone to her family and
friends was received last night by her
brother, Charles A. Stone, of Chelsea.
The cabelgram told of her release by
the brigands and her warm welcome
by her Bulgarian friends In Strumitza.
1t read:
Freed, thank God, and well after
our captivity of nearly six months.
Yesterday, Sabbath morning, Mrs. Tsil-
ka and her seven-weeks-ol daughter
Elena and found ourselves left by our
abductors near village an hour dis
tant from Strumitza.
Kind hearted Bulgarian friends
rushed from their houses as soon as
they caught glimpse of the strange
appearing Travellers and took us In
their arms from our horses, with tears
and smiles and words of welcome, and
led US into their house. Word was
quickly sent to friends engaged in their
morning service at church. and they
came out, old and young, to greet us.
What thanksgiving to God for his
proof of his faithfulness to answer their
prayers, for all-even little children
had never ceased to pray for us. their
lost friends.
Since that hour our waiting time has
been crowded with friends from the
city and surrounding villages. who have
brought in their heartfelt congratula-
tions for our deliverance. The Turkish
government did not fail to question us
as to our experiences. The governor of
the city with his suite called this morn
ing and again this afternoon after the
arrival of DR.. House and his son from
Salonica, accompanied by M. Gargilo,

Paris, Feb. 26.-Securities valued at
1000, 900 francs (s1,0o0.oo0) belonging to
President Paul Kruger, have recently
been sold here. The money will be
spent in furthering the Boer propagan-
da in Europe and America.
London. Feb. 26.-The war office de-
MED the rumors which were circulated
in the lobby of the house Of commons
that Gen. Louis Botha, the Boer COM
mander-in-chie in South Africa, had
made an offer to surrender on certain
conditions. The story appears to have
come from Paris. 1t had good effect
on the kaffirs.
The colonial secretary, Mr.. Chamber

Miner had not received communica-
ton from Gen. Botha offering to sur
render.

Persistent Peace Rumors.

London, Feb. 26.-Persistent rumors
that negotiations have been reopened
by Botha and Miner have not been
confirmed with authority and probably
are premature. One report is clearly
inaccurate. Botha will not seek terms
for himself alone, but for all Beers re-
manning in the field.
This was the object OF his previous
negotiations, and Botha has shown
himself too honorable an antagonist to
make terms which will not include De
Wet and other comrades in arms. The
radical opponents of Chamberlain are
anxious to prove that he has rendered
1t impossible for the fighting Beers to
sue for peace under the conditions OF
his proclamation Of banishment, which
came into force on Sept. Is. They are
now asserting that neither Botha nor
Steyn can remain in south Africa after
peace is negotiated, and consequently
that they will countersign their own
DEGREES of banishment IL they arrange
a basis for surrender.
Some of Chamberlain's friends take
direct issue with them on this piont.
They assert that the proclamation Of
Sept is increases Miners leverage,
since he will have concession to make
and that concession Will be that the
proclamation itself can be waived and
peace negotiated on basis OF general
amnesty, with temporary grants for en-
abling the burghers to make fresh
start at farming. It is doubtful II these
friends really represent the secretary
of the colonies, who has apparently
never swerved from his conviction that
permanent peace must be fought out
and conquered to the last ditch, and
that treason must be made odious. His
denial of any knowledge Of the alleged
negotiations was most emphatic yester-
