ABOUT sHoUP, DUBOIS AND SWEET
"Shoup and viii Not BE so Chummy as
We We're"

Washington. d. C., March 10, 1885,
Senators Dubois and Shoup of Idaho are
not expected to be warm friends here
after. Senator Dubois has two years to
serve, and Senator Shoup just re-elect-
ed, six years. and the next two years
will afford ample chance for the split in
their relations to make itself manifest.
Senator Dubois was asked today about
the story current that he and Senator
Shoup were out"
''It Is likely" he replied, that Shoup
And | will not be so chummy as we were.
II is Shoup's fault, too. He told me he
did not intend to stand for a reelection.
He also told Teller. Some time before
this Representative Sweet had said to
both Senator Shoup and me that, while
he had no intention to run against either
OF u.s. he did intend TO try to succeed
whoever got out first. Shoup told Sweet
he did not intend to run, as well as Tell
err and me.
After all this had been understood and
done. Shoup concluded to run. He has
been elected. As result Sweet is out Of
his house seat. and. as Shoup, Wilson and
| all come from the southern part of the
state. 1t leaves the northern part unrep-
resented In either the house or senate,
and naturally, neither Sweet nor Idaho
likes the situation. / aided Sweet all

would have been for Shoup had he said
he would run in the first place But he
misled us all by the course he took-first

Minister TnyIor's Demand for Repara.
ton Formally Recognized.
Madrid, March l6.-Replying to ques-
tions propounded In the chamber of dep
utles today, Senor Alexandra, minister OF
state, said that the report that Minister
Taylor, acting on behalf of the United
States, had claimed reparation from Spain
was due the United States on account of
the Alliancia incident, was true. The
United States government. he said, at
the same time, demanded that American
trade with Cuba should not be interferred
with. He hoped the Alliancia affair
would be amicably settled. The United
states government, he explained consid-
cred the firing on the Alliancia to be
violation of the principles of information
al law.
Minister Grisard said in conclusion that
the Spanish government had ordered the
fullest investigation of the affair. The
government. he added, was willing to
agree TO any settlement, provided the
principles of international law were not
infringed upon and that no attempt was
made to prejudice the dignity of the ma
tion.
Senior Dia Moreau, formerly an officer
in the Spanish navy, said the commander
of the gunboat had the right to demand
that the Alliancia should show her flag
lie argued that the Spanish officers also
had right to search any vessel found
in Spanish waters.
Minister Grisard declined to make any
further statement, or to attempt any ex-
planation of the incident until complete
details and the reports of the Spanish
officers of the gunboat We're received
Questions relating to Cuban affairs were
hotly debated in the chamber of deputies.
General Lopez Dominguez, minister of
war, censured the press for recent com
ments upon the situation. At this all the
reporters quilted the chamber. This was
intended as n protest against the official
defense made by the minister of war OF
the officers who last night attacked the
office of the Madrid newspapers. These
attacks on the newspaper offices was pro-
voked, 1t Is claimed, by the appearance of
articles charging that the officers in the
service of Spain have been so reluctant
to volunteer for the Cuban service that
the government has been compelled to
draw lots to determine who should be Or
dered to the front. Great excitement
prevails here. The military governor of
Madrid has resigned The directors of
the leading newspapers held a meeting
this evening and agreed that unless the
government would guarantee the liberty
OF the press they would suspend publica-
ton.

Judge Piper Overrules Preliminary oh.
jections in the Embezzlement Case.
Moscow. March 1.-THE case of the city
against ex-Treasurer Williams, charged
with embezzlement. has been postponed
on technicalities, although it is expected
that plea will be entered and the trial
begun Monday. Tuesday night two of
the grand Jurors who returned the indict-
ments were examined as to their alleged
prejudice. Judge Piper, after hearing the
matter, decided that no prejudice had
been proved and that the indictments
must stand. The defense then demurred
to the indictments on the ground that
they did not know under what section the
prosecution was intending to prosecute.
This was overruled, and then other de-
murrers were entered on each of the four
indictments. Three of them were argued
and overruled Saturday, and the fourth
will be decided Monday.
Mrs. Hardy's case has been again post
poned until Monday, when sentence will
be pronounced, unless sufficient evidence
to warrant a new trial is discovered.

Interior Department Reports Progress
in the Colville Country.
Washington. March 16.-It Is expected
by the land department that surveys on
the Colville Indian reservation will have
progressed sufficiently during the sum-
mer and Indian allotments made so that
million and half acres will be opened
to settlement. These lands are in north
eastern Washington, the ceded lands be
ing on the northern border, upon a tract
where there are said to be valuable min
eral deposits.
Commissioner Lamoreaux has deter
mined to make arrangements at once for
the appraisal and sale of abandoned mil
itary reservations. The reservation in
the Coeur d'Alene mining country will be
withheld, as 1t is thought It may be need
ed for military purposes in view of the
disturbances that have occurred among
the miners of north Idaho.
There has been no formal order issued
by the secretary of the interior to the eff
feet that no more lands are to be pat
ented to the Union and Central Pacific
railways, but there is an understanding
in the land office that the force having in
charge the making up of lists and patent
ing of lands will be occupied with other
