Enterprise Of Great
Magnitude.
International Concern
Will Swell the Name
OF New York as Financial
Center.

Chicago, July 24.-American finan-
ciers are planning an international
bank with headquarters in New York
and branches in Chicago, San Francis
co, City of Mexico. Havana, Rio Jan
eiro and Buenos Ayres. The institu-
tion Will be known as the First Inter
national bank Of North America. Its
capital will be $5,OO0,OoO. The pro-
inoters, It Is asserted. include over two
score millionaires. The nucleus of this
colossal enterprise is already in exis-
tence under the name of the Mexican
Trust Company bank, which has been
in operation In the City of Mexico for
one year.
President W. Ii. Hunt, of the Mex
lean Trust Company bank is in Chi
cago Oh his way to New York. He
said that the name of the institution
would be changed at once to the First
international bank of America and
that Havana branch would be open
ed within few months.
Among the financiers who own stock
In the International bank are j. Sloat
Fassett, former Republican candidate
for governor of New York; julius G.
BirHe, vice-president OF the Shovel
trust, Russell Whitcom, John II. Bland,
Robert Nj. Early and Chas. Francis
Philips of New York; VIM. j. Hilands,
of Chicago and j. ID. Ferguson presi-
dent of the First National bank of Bal
timore. DR.. John Il. Murphy of Chi.
'cago, the noted surgeon, is also a
stockholder.
One of the main objects of estab.
fishing a Havana branch first Is to
have the Institution declared the gov
ernment repository. The branches at
Rio Janeiro ana Buenos Ayres will
seek to divert the patronage of Amer
lean importers from English banks,
One million dollars weekly is now
paid by the people of this county for
Brazilian coffee. The remittances are
paid in pounds sterling. The banks
In Rio Janeiro are British. Importers
must buy London exchange. Impor-
ters from the Argentine Republic must
do the same. This condition the
American International bank would
remedy.
According to Mr.. Hunt, the step
about to be taken will be another
stride toward establishing the worlds
financial center In New York.

REFoRMATC9 BILL PASSES.
Senate Votes to Eetanlish New In
stitutior for Iowa CcnvictS.

StitEtiCE TOR iowa SCf1VlCtS.
Des Moines, Feb. 26.-The Iowa
senate yesterday passed with only
eleven dissenting votes, the bill to es-
tablsh d refomatory for men in Iowa.
The measure went through as origin
ally drawn with but one important
amendment to it. This is the bill
fathered by Senator Emmert and en-
dorsed by the state board Of control.
1t was drawn up after consulting the
laws of the other states, and is looked
upon by lawyers Of the upper body
as we'll nigh perfect from legal stand
point. 1t is practically the same bill
which did not get through two years
ago.
According to it's provisions, as soon
as the act goes into effect the state
board of control will convert the pen
ltentiary at Anamosa into state re-
formatory for men, transferring to
FIT. Madison all criminals over 81 years
of age. Those under 81 years Of age
who are serving their first term in the
penitentiary for any crime less than
murder are to be retained in the re-
formatory. where skilled instructions
in mechanical arts will be employed to
teach them, and otherwise assist in the
process of reformation it is expected
to effect. After the reformatory is es-
tablished it shall be the duty of the
district judges to sentence all persons
under the age of 81, convicted OF any
felony except murder, and no pre-
viously convicted. to this institution.
There is an elaborate system of
parole provided by which the state
board of control is to be guided, and
what is considered one of the strongest
features OF the bill is the fact that VIC
lations of parole issued to inmates of
the reformatory will send the convict
to Fl Madison to serve out the maxi
mum penalty of his former crime with
out regard to previous sentence.
Every effort to amend the bill failed,
except the striking out of the provision
removal of convicts to the reformatory
| when the penitentiary at Ft. Madison
becomes overcrowded. The bill orig
! inally provided that prisoners so trans
| ferred should be treated as other in
mates of the reformatory, but it was
amended to leave them subject to the
same restrictions as at Fort Madison.
The bill carries an appropriation OF
| $4,000 with which to make the trans
| fer of the prisoners and open the re-
| fOrmatOry.

question. When the reports were filed
the minority asked that it's statement
be printed in the journal.
The majority of the committee op-
posed this on the ground that the
minority report was not plain state
ment of dissent, but an argument and
a presentation of some Of the pur-
ported evidence. Against this there
was a vigorous argument by Healy,
Trewin. Porter, Garst, Dowell Blanch-
ard and others. 1t became evident that
the disposition Of the body was to give
the minority fair showing. Points
Of order and questions of precedence
and even constitttionality were raised
in rapid succession. The debate took
wide range and when it was evil

possible Porter moved that the whole
matter be sent back to the commit
tee. This carried viva voce and the
question will not come before the
senate again till next week.

both branches of the general assembly
were received yesterday morning
from Governor Cummins relative 10

evident lack of authority for the pro-
lection of the people of Iowa on &C.
count of tho inability to restrain the

DR.. Linn's letter calls attention TO
the fact that protests arc coming IN
from citizens living near the reserVa-
ton against the continuance OF this
peril and petitions are numerous ask
ing thai action be taken. Up to the
present time the Indians have been re-
strained on the reservation. but with
the opening of the hunting and trap

and have already made trips to the
nearby towns. Many OF those VINO

disease are wearing the same clothes
they wore at the time of their i'll

virulence over the state, in more
