The Idaho Constitution Question.

WASHINGTON, March 49, Representative
Mansur, on behalf of the minority of the
committee on territories has filed a report
presenting the objection to the passage of
the bill for the admission of Idaho. now
pending in the House. In part, the report
says: The precise point of difference be-
tween the majority and the minority is
this: That the majority approve of the
provision which deprives a citizen of the
right of suffrage. disqualifies him from
holding Office, and prevents him from serv-
ing On juries for criminal conduct imputed
to him when he has not been con-
victed of such criminal conduct;
while the minority insist that a
citizen being otherwise qualified should
not be deprived of these rights and
privileges on account of an alleged crime,
unless he has been convicted Of such
crime by some court of competent
Jurisdiction and where the penalty for such
crime or part thereof is such qualification.
The minority. while experimenting as much
as any of the majority can reprehend the
offenses of bigamy and polygamy and aid
ing and abetting SUCH ofenses, most re-
specially submit to the House that man
who is accused of bigamy, aiding bigamy or
belonging to an association that encourages
these ofTenses, is as much entitled to trial
for the offense as the man charged with any
other offense. We insist therefore, that

Especial to THE HERALD-EXaminer Dispatch.
NEWCASTLE, March 12.-Athens, west
ern Pennsylvania, is a new Wilmington and
in Westminster college, students are not
only trained in book lore, but also in piety.
The rules are as strict as rules in the col
leges and Summaries of New England and
never word has been said about what was
inflicted upon the actions of the inmates.
Education is the feature of Westminster
callege. In the class-rooms the girls and
boys are taught together, but so strict is
the faculty that no where else are the
sexes allowed to commingle. The girls
are in the minority in the school and they
always walked as they were taught. The
boys were the ones who were closely
watched and occasionally one was
expelled for trying to take. a
Whit OF cigarette in fence corner or
neg lecting to return from a stroll before
shutdown. But it remained tor the girls
to shock the sUaid professors and tonight
four pretty Pennsylvania maidens are
anxiously waiting the return of President

The upper floor of the large dormitory
building is occupied by the girl students of
the college. and after the hall doors are
locked at night tits said that the fun denied
them during the day is freely INDUCED in.
One pretty miss confidentially Informed a
friend that after the lights were out they
had many games of leap frog in that long
hallway.
In the room nearest the door that opens

Maude Harvey, Mamie Wright, Bonnie
Dixon and Pearl Mckee tuck themselves

still voice from one of the beds exclaimed

and lighting the lamps, they sat down to

cards were produced and soon the game
was in progress.
President Ferguson was up late las

The Mississippi Flood.

ST.. LOUIS, March 12.--F'lood news from
various points along the Mississippi river
and other streams this morning is that the
White and Black rivers in Arkansas are
on the rampage. Both are out of their
banks and overlooking the country on
either side for miles. Heavy rains have
fallen and continue to fall all along these
streams, and general inundation is looked
for. At Fort Smith, on the Arkansas,
there was a rise of over eighteen feet in
twenty-four hours. At last accounts the
swell was proceeding at the same rate
pouring over the small tributaries below
Fort Smith, will greatly add to the volume
of water in the Mississippi below the mouth
of the Arkansas and increase the peril to
the lower country. All the railroads in
the vicinity of Fort Smith are suffering
from serious Washouts or lost bridges and
trains are abandoned temporarily. AT
Arkansas City, on the Mississippi, the
water from Satfingt0n Hook Crevasse in
undated the rear part of the town and the
lands in the back country are being flooded.
1t is not thought, however that great
damage will result as the bayous and in
terror streams are all capable of carrying
the water rapidly away. All available
boats of the government fleet have been
put into the levee service. The river front
from Arkansas City down is being care
fully watched. All low places are being
filed up with sacks of sand and earth and
other means used to hold back the waters
report prevailed that the levee at Alsatia
La, twenty miles south of Lake Provi-
dence, had broken, but this is not verified

LYNCHING IN WISCONSIN.
Wife Urges the Men Who Are Killing Her
Husband to HurrysUp

Especial to THE HERALD-EXanliner Dispatch. |
WHITEHALL, Wis, March 12.-Thirty
lyrchers are on trial here for stringing up
Hans Jacob Olsen on November "a last.
They were his neighbors and their only ex-
cuse was, that he was "a bad man who
ought to be run out" The most remarka-
BILE feature of the case, however, is the fact
that Olsen's wife pleaded with the lynch
ers to hurry up with their work The mob
visited Olsen's house about o'clock in the
evening and were met by Mrs. Olsen. She
told them of Olsen's depravity, how he
threatened his family as well as other peo-
pie in Whitehall and Blair, and she cried
and begged them not to leave him with her
any longer. She was afraid of him. Her
speech worked the crowd up to fever heat
and vote was taken on the question of
hanging Olsen. 1t was almost the unan1-
nous opinion that he ought to die. A rush
was then made for the doomed man. He
was dargged to a tree and strong men
tugged at the rope till his head was forced
tight against the limb.
After the murder most of the mob dis
persed but Ole Sletto and Charles Desmore
went ilto the house to comfort the widow.
She entertained them pleasantly and made
coffee for them as they were tired after their
eXertions. Three of the mob afterwards
confessed and Charles johnson has pleaded
guilty to the charge of murder, and the
wife and son of the dead man and Ole
Sletto are now on trial. Dick Martin has

In the Senate.

WASHINGTON, March 12.-The concurrent
resolution for the investigation of immi
grafton matters was laid before the Senate
with two amendments, extending the in
vestigation to the purchase of American
industries by foreign capital and the use of
Bedloe's island, New York harbor, as an
immigration depot. The amendments were
concurred in, so the concurrent resolution
passed both houses.
The Senate then agreed to the resolution
to exclude from the Congressional Record
the interpretations made by Call in the dis
cussion with Chandler on the Goth of Feb
ruary. Yeas, SO; nays, IA. The Democrats
voting in the affirmative We're Payne,
Pugh, Cockren and Vance. The Senate
proceeded to consider the resolution declar-
ing it competent for the Senate to elect a
president pro tempore who shall execute
the duties thereof when the Vice President
is absent.
George spoke at some length in opposi-
ton to the resolution. At the conclusion
of his argument Plumb called upon Blair
to give the Senate some indication of tbs
time when he would be ready to have a
vote taken on his bill. There were great
many important measures on the calendar
and unless some agreement were made on
the educational bill, he would move at 9
O'Clock to morrow that it be placed on the
calendar. Finally it was arranged that
Thursday Of next week at o'clock Blair
shall have the floor to speak not exceeding
one hour, then the bill shall be under the
five minute rule and a vote be taken.
Plumb gave notice, Notwithstanding, that
he would on Monday, move TO take IN
some other bill the effect of which would
be to displace the educational bill Plumb
moved an amendment to Rule 49, so as to
prove that all votes cast in executive ses-
sion be made public at the close of such
session. Referred.
The resolution regarding the president
pro TEN was again taken up, and Turpie
moved to amend it by making it read that
the president pro ten. shall hold Office dur.
ing all future absence of the Vice Presi
dent until the Senate otherwise agreed
and the resolution was adopted.
| The educational bill was taken up and
George addressed the Senate in advocacy
of it.
Hoar asked George whether his plan en-
braced the protection and security of the
right of the colored people of the south tt
vote without interference, and their rigkI
to fair administration of justice.
George asserted there was no distinction
in the administration of justice in Missis
sippi, except that the black man, both in
the jury box and on the bench, had &
leniency accorded to him which was moi
accorded the white man. After quite
lengthy discussion on this point, the Senate
went into executive session and soon ad
iourned.

Shall Oklahoma Have Kansas Prohibition!

Sildu UKlan0ma Have Kansas Pr0nlDlulOn!
WASHINGTON, March 12.-The House COM
mittee on rules reported a resolution set
ting aside today and tomorrow for con-
sideration of the Oklahoma bill, the final
vote to be taken at o'clock tomorrow.
The resolution was adopted and the COM
mittee went into committee of the whole on
the Oklahoma bill.
Morse offered an amendment to the pro-
position on the introduction of Intoxicating
liquors into the territory of Oklahoma until
otherwise provided by law. Lost.
Keller offered an amendment providing
that the statutes of Kansas, instead of Ne
braska, shall extend over the territory
until the first session Of the legislative as
sembly.
Picker, of South Dakota, strongly advo-
Gated the amendment, principally on the
ground that it would extend to the new
territory the prohibitory laws of Kansas.
fltch SAID this was an attempt on the
part OF the advocates of prohibition to win
IN the House what they had lost in the
committee The laws of Nebraska (where
there was high license) had been selected
as compromise. Now the gentlemen
whose hobby was prohibition, attempted to
extend over Oklahoma the Kansas law,
which state after state voted it would not
accept. The question was whether the
House would override the unanimous vote
of the committee in order to please a gen.
tleman who is an allocate of prohibition.
Funston declared that in Kansas there
was not one open saloon. He hoped the
time would soon come when the Republi-
can party would champion the cause of
prohibition as it had championed the cause
of liberty.
Stewart offered an amendment, as sub
stitute for Kelley's motion, providing that
section 2l39 of the revised statutes shall be
in force in the territory until after the ad
iournmsn emit of the first session of the legisla
tive assembly. Agreed to.
On motion of Holmes an amendment was
adopted providing that none of the lands
embraced in the territory shall inure to the
use or benefit of railroad corporations ex
cept the right of way heretofore granted
Pending for further discussion, the com.
mittee rose and the House adjourned

Mexican Ore and smelling interests.

WASHINGTON, March 12.-The Senate has
ordered vote on the Blair bill to be taken
at o'clock Thursday, the Goth inst.
A. F. Meyer, president Of the Kansas
City Refining and Smelling company, ap-
peared before the committee on ways and
means this morning and read statement
expressive of the smelling and refining in
terests upon the subject of Mexican lead
and silver ores. He. contended that Con-
gress never intended that silver ore con-
tanning lead should be dutiable, as no such
ore had been developed in this country
when the provision which has been at
tackled was inserted In the tariff laws. If
Congress passed law taxing this ore it
would cripple the smelling and refining in
terests. He therefore requested the COM
mittee olet the matter stand as it does I'M
der the last decision of the treasury de-
partment.

under the stern necessity of adopting re-
Strlctlve measures in regard to the acquiSi

The memorandum prepared by Minister
Romero for Senior Mariscal after his con-
versation with Secretary Blaine, says ::
''The secretary of state then informed the
minister that his personal views and
those of the United States govern
ment with respect to the annexation
OF Mexican territory were expressed in
his note to Mr.. Morgan, United States min
lister to Mexico, dated June /, 1881; and
which were published in the diplomatic
correspondence appended to the Presidents
message of that year. He added
that the United Statos govern
ment did not think even remotely
of acquiring any portion of Mexican ter
rltory, and that it would not support any
project having such object in view as the
United States had all the territory they
required for their progress and welfare,
and desired no more. The secretary of
state further stated that the United States
government could not prevent the news
papers or citizens of the country
from saying what they pleased
on that or any other subject, but that as
regarded the acquisition of Mexican terri
tory by the United States, he felt certain
the statements made were of no import

even if any other administration should
favor them, he thought it would meet with
no support in the country for such de

The Autopsy on TauIbee's Remains.

WASHINGTON, March 12.-Dr D. S.
Lamb conducted the autopsy on the re-
mains of the ex-Rrepresentative Taulbee
in the presence of large number of medi-
cal men. The ball was found to have
passed beneath the eye downward and in.
WARD, fracturing a portion of the orbital
plate; thence towards the brain fracturing
and splintering the petrous portion of the
temporal bone. The ball was found i'm
bedded in the bone and dura mater A
further penetration of the sixteenth of an
inch would probably have resulted in in
slant death. At the base of the brain a
large abscess had formed This was the
immediate cause of death. Other alb
scesses were discovered and the brain and
membranes were much6inhamed and con
gested. The position of the ball was such
that it could not have been extracted with
safety to the patient even had it's exact
location been known.

Rowland Leach,s Body Found.

land leach, a New York drummer, who has
been mysteriously missing the last few
days, has been tished out of the river. 1t
is supposed he was either murdered by the
tough gang in whose company he was last
seen or was drunk and fell into the river
Subsequent search of the body revealed
the fact that his gold watch and chain and
other personal belongings were still in his
pockets, leading to the inference that
Leach was not robbed and thrown into the
river, as at first supposed, but that in an
intoxicated condition he probably fell in.
