announcement the impression is gaining
ground that the bill will not be passed by
the Commons this session and that the Gov

off an Irish Local Government Bill.

Validity of Certain Idaho Acts.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE supreme
court to-day rendered decision in an in
teresting case growing out of the acts of
the fifteenth session of the Idaho legis-
lature. The appellants alleged that they
declared the council and house of represen-
tatives adjourned at midnight after a ses-
sion of sixty days, this being the limit Of
the legislative session under the congress
sional law. They assert that some mem
bers of each house remained behind and
elected new presiding officers and passed a
number of acts. They sued to have these
acts declared null and void and proceeded to
expunge them from the records. The
Idaho supreme court denied their appica-
ton and this court affims that judgement.
The court says. in part: fThe safety of
our institutions depends in considerable
measure upon the legislative, executive
and judicial departments being kept
separate and upon none of them infringing
on the others. 1t is not one of the func-
tons of the court to inquire into the
record Of a legislative body and to
determine whether the body assuming
to be legislature is legal or not. A suit
presenting this question might perhaps
arise in some case growing out of an act
passed by such legislature, but the court
does not pass in the present case upon how
far it would be justified in such suit in in
quiring into the validity of the legislature,
as the case at issue does not require it to
do sou

Amending the Interstate Commerce Act.

WASHINGTON, March 17.-Baker, of New
York, chairman of the House committee on
commerce, to-day introduced bill amend
ing the inter state commerce commission,
and number of Its amendments were re-
commended in the commissions report.
Among other amendments, the one of most
general interest, particularly to railroad
men, prohibits the payment directly or in
directly of any comp sation whatever by
one railroad to anu her for the sale of
tickets or influencing business in its
favor. Penalties are provided for its VIC
lation.
1t is also provided that all regularly ap
pointed ticket agents shall be supplied with
certificates of appointment, and shall keep
the same exposed to public view IN their
offices. 1t shall be unlawful for any person
not holding a certificate to SELL barter or
transfer for any consideration any ticket
af rny common carrier. Common carriers
shall at the request Of purchaser
redeem an unused ticket at the cost of the
price or a portion thereof at proportion
ate rate. 1t shall be unlawful for any
common carrier to pay any more valuable
consideration to secure the forwarding of
immigrants by any route, but carriers will
be permitted to make arrangements among
themselves for routing emigrants who do
not choose their own route, subject to the
approval of the Interstate commerce com
mission. The act is also extended to roads
running partly in this country and partly
| in Canada.
Representative Morrill,, of Kansas, to
day introduced bill providing for ser
| vice pension of IS per month to certain
soldiers of TIM late war and widows. Its
enactment into law will place $500, 900
additional pensioners on the rolls at once
and about fifty two thousand dollars eact
year thereafter.

The Tariff and Sugar.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE Republi-
can members of the ways and means com
mittee have finally reached an agreement
upon the sugar schedule. They have
agreed to make raw sugar from 10 Dutch
standard down dutiable at 80 per cent. ad
yalorem and refined sugar above 10 Dutch
standard, dutiabIe at 10 per cent. ad valorem.
This is equivalent to so per cent. reduc-
ton on many grades of sugar and to more
than 80 per cent. on others and will reduce
the revenue from twenty-five to twenty
eight millions of dollars. There is no pro-
vision made for the payment of any bounty
whatever, but in the sugar duty, which
will be made is more than two and one
half tiInes that proposed by the Mills
bill and the duty will DE collected on
the value and not upon the pound as here
tofore. The duty given to refuers is only
) per cent more than that given to raw
sugar as 16 or below will admit two grades
of merchandise sugar fit for domestic
uses 1t is hoped and believed that this
will take away from the retiners the power
! to raise the prices of sugar to the con-
sumer at will.
The Republicans regard this heavy re-
duction in the sugar duties as most gen
erous concession to western sentiment,
The rate fixed is lower than the rate fixed
by the Senate tariff bill and is, moreover,
free from the objection raised against
the Senate bill, viz, the bounty
clause. The Senate bill made
bounty of l cent pound. The action Of
the Republican members of the ways an6
means committee makes cut of more thar
80 per cent. and eliminates the experiment
of paying bonus to one class OF producer!
directly from the treasury.

PARIS, Idaho, March IT Special tele-
gram to The HERALD. l-Quarselle and
Ellen Elm were brought into court to day
and entered a plea of not guilty to the
charge of murder.
j. j. Peterson pleaded guilty to the
charge of burglary.
The case of Michael Fitzpatrick for forg-
cry, was brought into court and his attor-
ney demurred to the indictments charged
against him, and the morning session was
taken up with this case. r. S. Spence OPP
posed the demurrer and the court took it TN
der advisement. This afternoon he sus-
tanned the demurrer and the prisoner was
discharged. This was was for the forgery
of two railway check while roadmaster on
the Oregon Short line.
This afternoon was occupied in getting a
Jury in the case of the territory against
George Sheehey, for embezzlement. The
case is one which arose while Sheehey was
acting as treasurer of the Independent Or
der of Odd Fellows, and the charge against
him is for $50 that it is claimed ne will not

SENATOR STAMFORD.
He Comes Into View as a PreSi-
Dental Candidate.
DELEGATE SMITH, OF ARIZONA,
Says His Constituents do not Want any Anti
Mormon Test 0aths in their Consti-
tion-In the Senate.

WASHINGTON, March IL Especial tele-
gram to THE HERvLD. Senator Stanford's
recent speech favoring the issuance of legal
tenders on farm mortgages bids fair to
upset the calculation of the politicians and
make him formidable candidate for the
presidency in 1892.
The editor Of the National VielU paper
in this city devoted to the granger and in
dustrial interests, tells me that letters are
pouring in upon him from the west, north
west and southwest, commencing Senator
Staufords proposition and giving him as
their choice for the presidency with
out regard to political considerations. 1t
would be not little strange if
Senator Stanford's position on the
farm mortgage question should bring him
to the front and enable him to Wrest the
Republican nomination two years hence
from such veteran party leaders as Blaine,
| Sherman, Allison, Gresham and Alger, and
yet it is by no means improbable, should
his health remain upimpaired. Hayes,
Garfield aud Harrison had nothing beyond
local following up to the very hour of
their nomination, and Cleveland was never
seriously regarded until treachery within
the ranks of New York Republicans ena-
bled him to defeat Judge Folger, one of the
purest of American statesmen, by an over
whelming majority Senator Stanford
nomination would bring to his support two
elements that heretofore have Numerically
opposed. each other. He would control be

The House.

WASHINGTON, March T.-On motion of
Mckee. of California, the Senate bill was
missed with an amendment striking out the
appropriation clause increasing from $780,,
300 to $500, 600 the limit of cost Of the pub
lie building at Sacramento, Cal.
McKenna, of California, under instruc-
lions from the committee on the eleventh
census. moved to suspend the rules and
pass the bill authorizing the superintendent
Of census to enumerate the Chinese popu-
lation in such a manner as to enable him to
make a complete and accurate descriptive
list of all Chinese in the United States at
the time of taking the census, and give each
person so enumerated a certificate contain
ing particulars necessary to fully Identify
him, and such certificate shall be the sole
evidence of the right of such person to be
and remain in the United States. The bill
further provides penal statutes against
Chinese who shall sell, transfer or dispose
of such certificates The sum of 500, 600 is
appropriated to carry out the provisions of
(the act. The bill was passed without di-
Mission.
Under the suspension of the rules the
following bills and resolution were passed ::
A Joint resolution requesting the President
to invite the King of the Hawaiian islands
to select delegates to represent his king
dom in the Pan-American congress.
A bill to transfer the revenue cutter

The Pan,American Conference.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE discussion
pf the reports of the committee on Gus
toms union, was continued to-day at the
session of the Pan-American conference.
At Saturdays session, Mr.. Peana, Of the
Argentine republic, spoke in favor of free
trade between American nations, stating
that the tariff of the United States stood
in the way of extending commerce between
this country and the South American
states.
In answer, Mr. Flint, one of the dele
yates of the United States, presented of
fcial figures by which it appears that OF
the total amount of produce purchased by
the merchants of the United States from
4 The countries of South and Central Amer
4 lea. SIX per cent. is admitted free Of duty,
leaving only 1915 per cent. with which to
trade for reciprocity. While the United
States levies duty of 20 per cent. on i'm
oortations from other countries, only 128
per cent. of the products imported from
countries to the south are subject TO duty.
Ii is gratifying to note that the disposition
which has been shownin the United States
to place the sister republics of America on
a more favorable footing than all other
countries has been manifested within orr
time; for by statistics it appears that
within the past twenty years the tariff OF
the United States has been so changed that
while the articles subject to duty from
YOUR countries IN 1870 represented over 90
per cent of the total importations, it has
since been rednced TO only 121 per cent
In exchange for these imports, amounting
to Sl20, 500, 1925, Flint said the South and
Central American states buy from the
United States $3.50, 623, 81, of which the
countries to the south charge a duty on
over so per cent.
Flint asked Peana if he could name a
European country or countries that pur-
chased $40, 5000 of the product of the
American republics and had levy on
such small percentage of importations.
The discussion was further participated
IN by Henderson, of the United States
Peana, of the Argentine Republic; Ro-
nero. of Mexico. and Guzman, of Nicara-
qua. 1t was then postponed.
The committee on port dues to-day sub
mitted report. SAT present" the report
says, "there is no uniformity in the charges
made by different countries. The commit
tee would have asked the conference tC
\ kecommend the complete abolition of port
alues. etc, but having been commissioned
TO inpicate method for making
}port charges uniform, it has mo-
Welt authorized to formulate such recon-
mendation. 1t therefore proposes that i
be recommended to the governments of the
Beveral nations that tonnage dues be the
only port dues imposed; the amount to b.
charged not to exceed 10 cents per regis
tered ton, payable once year; that shil
shall be exempt from such dues in ever!
other port of such nation, on presenting
certificate of payment issued by the au
thority concerned; that ships of war ant
transports, ships Of less than twenty-five
ions burden, and ships which have beel
obliged to enter ports from damage re
ceived at sea, shall be exempt from tonnag
dues.
