IOWA 0PlEioMs AND NOTES.

Life imprisonment does not have
the terror for the evil doer that hang
ing has. While there Is life there Is all
ways the hope for the prisoner that
eventually he may be paroled or par
doned," argues the Davenport Times.
THE numerous applications now
awaiting action of the next session Of
the legislature-23 cases--is proof that
ways hope in some way to get out.
When man is hanged he has no
chance to appeal for clemency-in this
world. Consequently anyone who
might plan murder. or take chances
involving the possibility of murder,
will think twice before taking the
chance If there is q death penalty on
the statute books. Let the law alone"

FIN CHI IN A FIGH T
REPORTER BESTS THE BANKER
IN A HOT sET-To.

dispatch from Newport News, Va,
says: Angered by a story that appeared in
Wednesdays issue of the Times-Herald, an
afternoon newspaper here, Fenton F. Finch,
president of the American Exchange Bank
and one of the wealthiest men On the penin-
sula, visited the Office of that paper yester-
day afternoon.
The only person in the office was Wright
McWilliams, reporter, and the banker is
said to have hurled vile epithets at him.
finally calling him liar. Although seventy
five pounds lighter and much smaller than
the banker the reporter struck Finch in
the face, knocking him against the wall
The banker retaliated, hitting the reporter
on the ear and splitting it. The men then
clinched and McWilliams grabbed Finch
by the throat. and when Editor w. T.
Kirby. having been attracted by the noise
appeared on the scene the banker was cry
ing "Stop! Let me go! Stop!'
AS the editor advanced toward the COM
batants the banker broke away, picked up
his crushed derby and FASTENED from the
office, ignoring the editors request that he
remain and explain the trouble
After the fight the reporter surrendered
himself at the police station and Banker
Finch was arrested on a warrant charging
him with assault and battery, the warrant
being sworn out by P. T. Marshall man
ager of the paper. Both men were bafled
for their appearance in the police court
this morning.

of law for making expenditures above the
100000 appropriated for the capitol con-
struction.' AS to the charges Of extrava-
gance or graft, the governor says:
THE term involves comparison. What
would be the extravaganza in one relation
of life may be economy elsewhere. A capt
tol which 1t would be folly to attempt in
Arkansas may well be erected In Pennsyl-
vania. The capitol and its equipment have
been paid for out of revenues, and the in
coming democratic treasurer found the
treasury replete. 1t has not cost citizen
of Pennsylvania one cent in the way Of
taxes upon his real estate or goods. The
moneys expended upon it have been almost
entirely drawn from the profits of the great
corporations and have been distributed
among the artisans of the state. The
wealthy stockholders living in London and
New York upon the outcome of the mines
furnaces and fields of the commonwealth
have in this way done somewhat for the
benefit of it's people. One member of the
energy in the pursuit of delinquent cor
porations and otherwise has in his own
brief term added enough to the revenues
to pay for the entire equipment
II know of no graft. l do not believe
there has been any. 1 do not like the term
and l have little faith in the people who
roll 1t over their tongues. l thoroughly
distrust the motives and the accuracy of
those who are slibly making the accusa-
tons. They are persons who, having won
political campaign one year ago by mis-
representation as to conditions in Phila-
delphia and in a national bank which hap
pened to fail. are cultivating hopes of
still greater success by the same dubious
methods.
THE capitol has cost in all, for con-
struction, furniture, decorations, equipment

$104 per cubic foot In comparison, the
Capitol at Washington cost per cubic foot

BIG POLICE SHAKE-UP.
New York Force Is Turned Topsy-
Turvey.

A dispatch from New York says: Every
police captain in the city except one was
transferred yesterday by Commissioner
Bingham in the biggest shape-up the de-
partment has ever known. Capt. Schlott-
man was left in charge of the Tenderloin
precinct because of the good work he has
done there
While in some of the cases the changes
will not continue after election day, in the
great majority of instances the eighty-five
shifts permanent and regarded as
showing the earnest intention of the COM
missioner to close up the city.
That was the light in which Inspector
Cross transfer to the third inspection dis
trict viewed Wednesday, and that
belief received confirmation yesterday when
it became known that Capt. John Daily had
to the West 41th street precinct. the new
Tenderloin, and probably the most impor-
tant assignment in the entire list.
Cross is wealthy man and, when he
wants to be, is an exceptionally good police
officer. 1t is said that he wishes to make a
record for himself, and that the third dis
trict, which includes the old Teaderloin, VIII
experience a sweeping that will prove a
novelty. DAILY has always had the reputa-
ton of being one Of the ''straightest' men
on the force
OF him it was said in the Herald of sun
day, October IA, in the confessions of
former policeman, whose knowledge makes
his opinion valuable
II do not charge that every captain is a
crook. but far l know Capt. DAILY is
the only who has an absolutely clean
record. l do not believe that he ever took
a penny In his life that he was not en-
titled to-"
With Cross commanding the third inspec-
ton district, which includes practically all
the sporty part of the city from 14th to
42d street. with Schlottman under him,
and DAILY in charge of the 41th street
precinct, where all the larger gambling
houses and many other disreputable re-
sorts have flocked. those who follow the
workings of the department profess the be-
lief that the lid is very nearly riveted
down.
Cross permitted to bring his entire
staff from Brooklyn with him, but no one
OF the captains has had his confidential men
assigned to the new posts. They must do
their work with new men, which is point
that Gen. Bingham lays much stress upon.
It is declared that the transfers Were PLAN
ned solely by the commissioner and were
secret even to those closest TO him.

STIRS IN CAPITOL CASE.
Rumors of Arrests to Be Made in Con-
nection With Job.

A dispatch from Philadelphia says, as
result of the rumors now in circulation,
following the Lincoln party conference in
the Aldine Hotel Sunday evening. to the
effect that State Treasurer William H.
Berry intends to make one or more ar
rests late next week in connection with the
alleged $13,O000O0 capitol job the repub-
lican advisory committee today declared
that if such arrests are made the purpose
will simply be for political effect.
These reports that arrests are anticipated
have been heard since Monday morning,
and none high in the councils Of the Lin
coin or democratic parties would deny
them. At the republican state headquar-
tiers it was asserted that information from
secret source had been received stating
that an arrest is to be made in one case
Involving $4,000 double payment.
The Robbins advisory committee, in taxi
ing up the matter today. issued a sta tement
in which was the declaration that 1.-The
cards have been stacked for sensational
arrests during the last week of the cam
paign.
Continuing, the committees statement
reads:
This committee gives notice to the re-
publicans of this state that State Treas
urer Berry, who has been making charges,
has been called upon repeatedly to make
them good and that he now admits not
having the evidence in shape 20 back up
the eXtravagant statements he has made.
If he is Withholding evidence which he
claims to possess until arrests can be made
few days before election, he is then oper-
ating for political purposes solely, and is
not acting in good faith to the people of
this state, whom he was elected to serve"
AS to the candidacy Of Edwin s. Stuart,
the committee had thu to say:

DUELS WITH SWORDS.
Three of the Four Compatants Receive
Wounds.

A dispatch from Havana says:
duel with swords was fought yesterday
by Eduardo Alonzo, a writer for Ell Mundo,
and Ramon Mendoza, . member of the city
council, who resented an attack made by
the Mundo on the council in connection with
the telephone concession. Both the COM
batants received slight wounds.
Another duel was fought by Capt. Poey,
formerly an aid to President Palma, and
Manuel Secades, lawyer, who is a promi-
nent liberal. The quarrel arose from Capt
Poey Directing to Senior Secades sitting at
the same table with him in a restaurant.
Poey was run through the leg and Secades
was wounded in the arm.
There now only two cases of yellow
fever remaining. 1t is thought that pos sibly
the recent hurricane blew away the mos
of the disease.
1t is estimated that the total losses to
British subjects and corporations by the re-
bellion amount to 500, 600. This includes
and Central railroads. The loss to Spanish
citizens, mostly small shopkeepers, is esti-
mated at 100000. The total loss caused by
the insurrection is variously estimated at
from 81 100000 to S3,O00,C0
Carrying out further the policy under
which the arms surrendered by the insur-
gents have been destroyed, orders have been
given that a great quantity of arms, the
accumulation of the last forty years. now
stored in the classmates of Moro Castle
here, be thrown from the battlements of the
castle into the sea- This work is being done
by the present garrison of MORO Castle,
under the supervision of American officers.
Most of the guns are of obsolete patterns.
About 10000 stands of arms are thus to be
rendered useless. 1t is intended to do away
with similar accumulatfons of arms in all
the other fortresses of the island. This de-
struction of weapons is entirely a precau-
tionary measure.
Gov. Magoon has accepted the resignation
of Gastron Mora, under secretary of gov

$2o,ooo,ooo COAL DEAL.
The Vast Holdings of Camden Com
pany Are Sold.


pany Are Sold.
A dispatch from Parkersburg, w. Va,
says: Ex-senator J. N. Camden, who on
Tuesday attended a meeting of the stock
holders and directors of the Northern Coal
and Coke Company of eastern Kentucky,
which meeting was held in Chicago, arrived
home this evening. AS president of the
company he gave out the first official in
formation of a gigantic deal which was
closed by the company at ne Chicago meet
ing for the sale of its vast holdings to
western syndicate.
While Senator Camden could not commit
himself as to the consideration in the deal,
it is believed that it will amount to close to
$20,000O00. The company's property COM
prises $50, 900 acres of coal land in the great
Elkhorn coal fields in eastern Kentucky,
and it is said to be the most valuable unde-
veloped coal land in any field in this part
of the country. The syndicate which pur-
chased the holdings of the above company
is composed of A. B. Chisolm, wealthy
Iron ore operator of Duluth, Mimi, and his
associates.
What plans the purchasing syndicate may
have in acquiring this large amount of-coal
land is not known, but it is stated that none
of the railroad lines now in existence has
any interest in the combine. Senator Cam
den has been interested in other gigantic
coal deals, having disposed of his holdings
in the Paramount field for several million
dollars a few years ago.

ANNAPOLIS, Nd, October 26.-Of the 124
members Of the present first class 1t is pos
sfble that twenty-eight will graduate in
February next, the remainder graduating
next June That number of the class have
an aggregate in all studies of IS per cent,
but must still make an aggregate Of IS per
cent in the work of the present term to get
their diplomas at that time. 1t is thought
that large number, probably half, will not
meet this latter requirement. and that
therefore the number who will graduate in
advance of their classmates will be small.
