Prosecution of Johnson County
Invaders to Be Nollied.
A VERY LARGE VENIRE.
More Than Three Thousand Talesmen
Will Have to Be Drawn.
The County Contains But Two Thousand
Persons Subject to Jury Duty, Hence
1t Will Be Impossible to OBJ
tain Jury.

CHEYENNE, Wyo., Jan. Especial. ]
1t is probable that the cases against the
stockmen who invaded Johnson county
will be dropped by the prosecution
through failure to secure jury. By a
ruling of the court the defense will have
twentyfour peremptory challenges after
those allowed the prosecution have been
exhausted. This, in the opinion of the
prosecution, will allow the defense to
practically secure its own jury.
OF 129 taJesmen examined 102 have been
dismissed for cause. sixteen by peremp-
tory challenge and eleven remain subject
to peremptory challenge. At this ratio it
will require 1928 talesmen to secure a
jury and there are but 1000 persons in
the county subject to jury duty.
The expense of bringing witnesses 300
miles overland is enormous and threatens
to bankrupt Johnson county. which must
pay the bill. Under these circumstances
the prosecution is considering seriously
the question of nolle pressing the case
and leaving the punishment Of the in
vaders to a higher court.

WHO SUCCEEDS WARREN?
That Is the Question Now Being
Agitated in Wyoming.
SPIRITED CAMPAIGN.
The Several Candidates and How Their
Candidacy is Considered.
In Idaho Ex-Governor wiley's Message Is
Ignored by the Legislature, in Fact
the Document Has Been
Lost-Politicai Pointers.

CHEYENNE, Wyo., Jan. Especial. !
Members elect OF the legislature which
convenes Tuesday next are arriving in
the city, and the senatorial fight is be-
ginning TO assume definite proportions.
The Republicans still have faint hope
of inducing a few Populist members to
desert their poinciples and join them in
re-electing Warren. But there is a very
remote possibility of such an event tax
ing place.
The tight on the Democratic side to the
present time has been waged most vigor-
ously by George w. Baxter and A. J.
New. Mr.. Baxter was the Democratic
candidate for governor two years ago and
made a good race, but was defeated by
Warren. At that time he was the leader
of the Democratic party in the state, and
had he remained with his party during
the last campaign would win hands down
in the present fight.
He is large cattle owner and president
Of the Wyoming Stock association, and
refused to stay with his party when it
made the stockmen's invasion one OF the
issues of the campaign. AS soon as the
election was over he got back into line
and is working energetically to capture
enough votes TO send him to the senate.
Mr.. Baxter is wealthy and has powerful
political connections in the east.
A. L. New is chairman of the State
Central committee. He is apparently
developing considerable strength. He
basis his claim to the senatorship on his
conduct of the late campaign.
George T. Beck, son of the late senator,
is working hard for the place. He is
veal by and has considerable ability He
was luke warm on the invasion question
which is hurting him.
w Fl. Holiday, a member OF the state
senate, is strong candidate who
preached invasion during the late cam
paign and stands well with the Populists
Judge Samuel T. Corn and A. c. Beck
with, a wealthy stockman, both OF
Evanston are in the race.
Conservative observers believe that
Holiday and Beckwith, though not
working as persistently as other candi-
dates, stand in the lead with the legis-
lature.

PRESIDENT DIAZ TALKS
Regarding Disturbances on the Lower
Rio Grande.
No Serious Trouble Is Apprehended and
No Disafection Exists Against
the Governments.

CITY OF MEXICO, Jan. I'm response
to request for an interview regarding
various reports which have appeared in
American newspapers recently, growing
out OF the border disturbances, President
Diaz gave a correspondent an audience.
"How do you regard the disturbances
on the lower Rio Grande?'' was asked.
''While l appreciate the cordialtty and
your courtesy in Offering me an opportu-
nifty to state my views" said the presi-
dent, yet 1 do not care to make any
statement
s'Do you expect any serious trouble2''
81 do not. / do not consider the matter
OF enough Importance to make it worth
while entering upon a discussion OF it. -
After introducing the correspondent to
member of the cabinet, the intimation
being that he might say what he liked,
the audience with the president termi-
mated.
The cabinet minister was more cOmmu-
NEGATIVE. "How do you explain the bor-
der troubles?'' was asked.
''The reports telegraphed from Texas to
the papers in the United States grow nat
urally out of the confusion of the opinions
of Texans of Mexican race and those of
the citizens of Mexico.O
els there dissatisfaction in Mexico,
apart from the border agitation?''
''While there is no manifestation of
political disquiet, quite the contrary is
the case. The Texans of Mexican origin
have nothing in common with the senti-
ments of the people of Mexico. If the
former find any sympathy here 1t will be
among the few persons VINO hold an opin-
ion entirely opposed to those of an i'm
mense majority of their fellow country
men,"
'sThen you expect no serious trou ble?''
'sThere is not the slightest apprehen-
sion here regarding the Texas border dis
turbances, and public interest is cen
tered on other matters. The border dis
turbances are exciting no interest. The
country is steadily going forward in the
path OF progress opened by General Diaz
on his first assumption OF the chief mag
istracv in 1876 -

ssFrom Jefferson to Jackson our Dresi-
dents were men of the highest character,
but none touched the popular heart. None

/ submit that the quality Of Jefferson and
Jackson reappeared in Abraham Lincoln,
and is possessed by Grover Cleveland. 1t
is not in opinions held, not in acts done,
not in utterances added, for no
four men were less alike than
all these, but in the profound
belief of their fellow citizens that those
opinions and acts and utterances sprang
from sincere love of common good and
pure desire to give the country service
withouta trace of personal self-seeking.
tsTo Mr.. Cleveland came the opportu-
nifty of the century. He came like Jeffer-
son to re-establish the principles
of the constitution. He came like
Jackson to use the powers of his
Office to carry out the will of the people
without fear or favor, without personal
prejudice or passion, and as a leader OF all
Democrats was chosen chief of a great
and successful party, and thereby will be
president of the whole.people.
Other speakers were Ex-Governor Camp
bell of Ohio, Congressman Harter of
! Ohio and Hon. James I. Ford.

DE LEssEPs' CONFESSION.

Fontane Also Follows His Example and
Makes Clean Breast of All.
PARIS, Jan. There is not now any
doubt that Charles De Lesseps told the
government everything he knows. It is
said that when he had completed his
statement he expressed himself as greatly
relieved. He said that he felt for years
he was bearing the burden of suspicion
which ought to attach to others. The
single desire of his father and himself
had been to bring the Panama canal
enterprise to a successful termination,
but blackmailers had taken them by
threats and the company had been COM
PEELED to buy support and aid which in
the interest of the good name of France
and for the benefit of thousands of French
investors ought to have been given freely
and as matter of public duty. He hoped
the people of France would place the re-
sponsibility where it belonged. Fonta ne
followed De Lesseps' example and made
full confession.

THE HEATHER CHINEE.
When 1t Comes to Ways That Are Dark
He Is Always at the Front.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. IA clever
scheme of Cinnamon to evade the Chinese
registration act has been discovered by
government detectives in this city. The
act requires Chinese to have pictures
taken and file them at the Office of the in
ternaI revenue collector of Philadelphia.
The Cinnamon have been taking lessons
in photography and in the act of using a
preparation that will cause the photo
graphs to grow dim and fade in
year, when the registration act
goes into force. Next May the Chinese
OF Philadelphia will have their artistic
countrymen photograph them and after
applying the fading preparation to the
picture it will be filed with Collector
Brooks. Within a year the picture will
be 90 dim it will be almost unrecogniz-
able and Collector Brooks will be unable
to tell whether the man before him was
the original photograph, or recent impor-
tation from China. 1t is said the scheme
has been transmitted to the Chinese in all
the large cities of the country and pho

Republicans of the Idaho Legislature
Have Lost Mr.. Wiley's Message.

BOISE, Ida, Jan. Especial. 1T
seems that the legislators in the present
session are bound to utterly ignore ex-
Governor Wiley's message, as so far it
has not been read in either branch of the
legislature, and today it became the prov
ince Of the Democratic side OF the house
to call for reading of that document.
A motion to that effect carried, but the
message has been carelessly thrown aside
and the chief clerk could not find it, SO
the matter was deferred.
The senate was not in session today.
n the house Mr.. Workman of Boise in
troduced an emergency bill providing for
an appropriation OF $1,000 to secure a
proper exhibit for Idaho at the World S
fair. If it passes it viii make $50, 600 ap-
propriated to this purpose.

BLAINE is WORSE.

Several Days.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.-Blaine is worse
tonight. DR.. Johnston visited him about
$50 O'Clock tonight and found the patient
had undergone an unfavorable change
and was weaker than for several days. In
reply to an inquiry the doctor said that at
present he was unable to tell the extent OF
the setback, but hardly anticipated any
serious change tonight.
Nothing more has appeared at the
Blaine mansion since DR.. Johnston s
visit. The house is wrapped in darkness,
excepting the room adjoining the sick
chamber, and the inference is that there
is no change since the reports sent out
earlier in the evening.

dlers into his Office and in the plainest
terms told them they could not be loyal to
