ldahn,s LegisIatnre Nav be Convened.

BOISE, Ida, Jan. 1l.-[Special telegram
to The HERALD. - To-day Governor
Wiley submitted series of questions to
Attorney General Roberts, affecting the
legal status of those counties abolished by
the decision of the state supreme court.
These queetious look towards the necessity
of calling an extra session of the legigla-
ture They inquire into the legal status of
the officers elected in the abolished coun-
ties and whether an extra session will
necessitate the holding of new elections in
those counties The opinion seems to be
gaining ground here that an extra session
will be called.

WAS 1T A PLOT?
Senator Power Goes for the Irri-
CATION Congress.
He Says 1t Was in the Interest Of the Bail
roads-UneOmplimentary References
to Justice Stephen Field.

HELENA, Mont, Jan. 11.-TSpecial tele-
gram to THE HERALD. United States Sem
ator Power made sensational speech at
the Irrigation congress of Montana, which
completed its labors Saturday night. He
is strenuously opposed to the ceding of arid
lands to the several states and territories.
Mr.. Power said the Salt Lake Irrigation
convention was a deep laid plot, back OF
which was railroad influence, and that he
was refused place on the irrigation COM
mittee of the Senate for the reason that he
opposed the segregation, despi Q the fact
that he had lived in an arid region thirty
years. Continuing. Senator Power said
There are perhaps 100000 acres
of arid lands. The Dakota
Congressman say they will stand by the
old man who holds the purse. 1 would like
to be SO instructed by this convention.
California is a country owned absolutely
| by railroads. That influence controlled
the Salt Lake convention. There is, dis
like. to say 1t, judge on the supreme bench
who is actually lobbyist in getting judges
named to-day. This / have understood
from my colleague, who is a lawyer. L
refer to Judge Field, VINO is going out of
his road to arrange that land grant rail-
roads shall get our mineral lands. | dislike
to mention these things, but they
are facts. Who are the men standing by
the Salt Lake proposition! Men living on
the plains! No. sir. The prime movers
are from the small mining counties. If
these lands are ceded 10 US, that W ill be an
| end to appropriations. After getting 40
600, COZ or 80, coo, 900 acres of land we will be
asked to stand aside How is the situation!
Wyoming has about two thirds of her
lands surveyed. She has mad Union Pacific
influence. The Northern Pacific does not
care about having the lands surveyed We
have hardly One-hfth of ours surveyed in
| Montana"
The resolution finally adopted asks Con-
gress to devote the proceeds of arid lands
sold to the purpose of irrigation.

The Cara. Raynlntinn.

CHICAGO, Jan. ia private letter to
the Associated Press from Monterey, Mex,
dated January 3, says: The government is
keeping the sharpest watch on kilograms
and letters to and from the United States,
and even On newspapers to suppress all
news about the Cara revolution and
though the government pretends the move
ment is of little account and IN some in
stances directed against the United States,
vet it is well known the movement has
taken formidable proportions and threatens
to extend, for dissatisfaction reigns in
many states and hunger may drive the
people to desperation. DiaZ, Mexican con-
sui at Laredo, has received orders from his
government to doctor all reports passing
through his hands and destined for the
United States.
The histories OF Cara published so far
| in the United States are all wrong. He
always has been either a schoolmaster or
| journalist of considerable talent, and
though he may be defeated and killed, the
revolution will lot end. Small bands will
| harrass the government on all sides until
the election, when another stronger effor,
will be made and then the Conservative or
Clerical party may take hand.
The great question where the money
comes from for the Cara movement is
solved by the word preying, that is, they
live off the land. Their arms and horses
are their own property and all hate the
central states. Though Cara is intelligent
and brave he is not the real leader of the
movement. The leader is one of the mos
prominent men in that republic and he il
ably seconded by very prominent military
men and diplomats who will never tire un-
less killed or triumphant. What aids, Of
rather will aid, the revolutionists, is the
general depression which reigns and which
makes itself felt more and more every day
The prisons are full of people driven tt
crime by distress and President Diaz him
self understands the situation is critical
The police are very active In their search
for leading conspirators, but are meeting
with poor success.

Double Force Working on Dynamite
Cartridges.

CHICAGO, Jan. 11.-Mortimer McRoberts,
of this city, who has a contract to furnish
all the dynamite cartridges for the United
States army and navy said, to-day, his fac
tory has. put on double force
of workmeD, and is working day and
night turning out their product
not less than two thousand men are en-
gagged in the work, and it is said the pay
ments made by the government will foot
up in the hundreds of thousands. The
prospect of Gillian war is presumed to
be the cause. Until year ago the govern
ment purchased all its cartridges in Eng
land.

A SILVER CONGRESS
Teller Introduces a Bill for an
international Conference.
AN ADMINISTRATION MEASURE
Republican Leaders Regret They Cannot Get
the Democrats lin a Hole'-First Blow
at the Mckinley Bill.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. IL Special
telegram to THE HERALD. The admins
tration showed it's hand in the game for an
international silver conference to-day. Be
fore the Democratic majority in the House
could take formal action, Senator Teller
introduced resolution looking to an inter-
national conference to be invited by the
President and to be held at such place as
may be mutually agreed upon by the gov
ernmenrs taking part. He did not state
that his resolution had the
APPROVAL OF THE ADMINISTRATION,
but such is the fact. The administration
is opposed to fixing the place of gathering
in Chicago in accordance with Mr..
Springer's plan and would have preferred
that the invitation should have come
from another country than the United
States. The publication of the fact that
the Democratic leaders contemplated res
olution for an international conferen ce
as a solution of the silver question for the
present campaign, compelled the admins
tration TO act at once and it was decided
that the proper organ of action was the
leading Republican Senator from the silver
state who had always been an advocate OF
AN INTERNATIONAL AGREEMENT.
Senator Teller accordingly introduced his
! resolution and attracted special attention
TO it by having it read in tull and submit
| ting some remarks upon it.
1t is generally expected that this resolu
! ton, or one closely resembling it, will pass
! both houses with little opposition. There
may be some maneuvering between the
two houses to get credit for the final form
of the resolution for one party or the other
] but even "those who doubt the success Of
the plan are not likely to oppose it. Some
of the Republican leaders express regret
that they cannot
GET THE DEMOCRATS "IN A HoLE''
by compelling them to face free coinage
| bill and vote. They do not see much
chance of this, even if they take no actor
themselves, and they evidently hope tt
share the credit in the silver states OF
| having urged some action friendly to silver
Some of the members of both parties whC
are ardent advocates of free coinage at al
hazards, say that they will continue t
| urge the passage of q free coinage bill il
spite of any action which may be taken =
garding an International conference. Il
more candid of them admit, however, tina
there would be
A CERTAIN DEGREE OF INCONSISTENCY
in asking other nations to confer regarding
the adoption of a new ratio while we wer
rushing ahead to fix ratio and to provid,
for unlimited coinage.

of Father Pitapi, assumed a serious aspect
to-day and threatens at any time to break
out in riot. Several times the crowd

police to clear the street. Every time
Fathers Miekiewlech and Kalasinske
showed themselves the crowd hooted and
Kissed while Father Pitulski's appearance
was the signal for wild cheering.
This evening the police arrested two OF
the ring leaders for disturbing the peace
The arrests had wholesome effect and
the mob retired. No trouble is expected.
