IS MATTER OF INSCRIPTIONS Appears for Fifteenth and Sixteenth Iowa Given Audience By Gen. Oliver and Expresses Hope ot Satisfactory Settlement. Washington, Nov. Cummins appeared before General Robert Shaw Oliver, acting secretary of war, yesterday and in an exhaustive argument of two hours presented the case of the Fifteenth and Sixteenth Iowa regiments who are seeking inscriptions on their regimental monuments on the Shiloh battlefield, that show their participation in the lighting of April 6, 1862, in accordance with the reports of their colonels.

As a result of the hearing, there is strong ground for hope that the long standing difference between the survivors of ithe two regiments and the Shiloh national commission will be harmoniously adjusted to the satisfaction of the veterans and the war department. General Oliver received Governor Cummins with all possible courtesy and considered the subject In detail in the broadest and kindliest spirit The decision of the war department is not yet announced but Governor Cummins looks for one in a few- weeks. While the governor would not authorize 'the statement that the decision would be favorable, ho did not attempt to conceal the fact that be Is highly encouraged and pleased over his conference with General Oliver. He says: "I believe that the controversy over the inscriptions will be settled finally in a few weeks. I feel much encouraged over the hearing.

General Oliver went into the matter with me in a way that showed the broadest possible spirit and a desire to do justice to the survivors of the reKiments. I cannot forecast his decision or in any way prejudice it, but I hope for the best." Governor Cummins on his return to Iowa will prepare modified inscriptions for the monuments of the Fifteenth and Sixteenth regiments, sliowing that took part in the forenoon's fighting of April 6 at the hours asserted by the survivors, with this addition: "According to the report of its commt-nder." These inscriptions will be presented to General Oliver and if approved by him, the adjustment will be complete. It is believed that the compromise wil. be satisfactory to all concerned, and that it is probable adjustment will be reached so that preparations for the dedication of the monuments by the state of Iowa can be entered on this winter and the dedications can take place on the flth and 7th of next April or the coming Memorial day.

It decided that tho Fourth is such a day and enumerates several otherB, such as January 1, February 22, May 30, December 25, the first Monday In September. Thanksgiving day was not mentioned specifically by the supreme court, but its opinion covers all legal holidays. A reward of $200 is now offered for the arrest and delivery of Neil Mathews, the Des Moines negro who, on November 2, killed Bert Travis, fatally shot Roland Riggs and assaulted both Mrs. Dlggs, and his own wife, Anna Mathews.

The reward was offered by Governor Cummins, who issued a proclamation to that effect. The local police department has been laboring diligently for fhe capture of Mathews, but since he disappeared after the murder at the Dlggs' home on Ninth street, his whereabouts have been a mystery. He was seen at the army post the day after and was challenged by a guard. He ran away and was next seen at the Seventeenth street bridge, where for several days he loitered around and visited with his friends. By his heing secreted by negroes that part of the city, the attempts of the police to locate nim were futile.

That Mathews is a bad man there is no doubt and Governor Cummins expressed a desire to see him brought to justice. Mathews has before killed his man, but escaped from jail while awaiting sentence. He is a cocaine fiend and is otherwise depraved. Governor Cummins has also issued a proclamation offering a reward for the apprehension of the murderer of James Smvthe of What Cheer, in the sum of $20U, It is believed that the next move on the part of the prosecuting witnesses in the Let son Balliet case, will be for the recovery of $2,500 which is now on deposit in Des Moines, and was to have been used for the defense of the late mining promoter in the federal courls. G.

Hoffman has completed the examination of the stomach of the late Anna Anderson, whose body was found in the Des Moines river near the Center street dam about three weeks ago. No traces of poison were discovered. The evidence is that death resulted from heart failure, which came as the result. of the shock of jumping into the water. This explains the fact that there was no water on the lungs and no evidence of death by drowning.

New articles of incorporation, a new constitution and a new set of bylaws were adopted at the meeting of the Iowa Humane society held a few days ago. The meeting, which was held in the office of Secretary E. D. Jones, was called for the purpose of making it possible for the society's constitution, articles and rules to conform with the wishes of James Callahan as outlined in his gifts of $70,000 to this society. Innumerable applications for positions in the offices of the secretary of the state executive council during the compilation of the state census next spring and summer, have been filed wkh Secretary Davison.

While the council has not fixed the condensation of the assistants who will do the clerical work of compilation of the statistics, it is probable that a rate little if any above $2 a day will bv pffered for the clerks, stenographers and accountants. The state has $15,000 to expend in this work and while the printing and schedules and the publication of the census after it Is compiled does not come out of this $15,000 appropriation, the council must figure closely to bring the expense within the sum mentioned, which Is way under the cost of the census of 1895.
