tion OF Logan county, was passed
by the same vote. Senator Bier

| vote for the bill," he said, "those
in the northern part of my county
will literally assasinate me, and if
vote against it, the people of tho
southern portion of the county will
murder me. | take the position l
have always taken, that the move
is an infringement on the rights of
the people, and therefore l shall
have to vote no.

ing for $ll4 900 bond issue for the
benefit Of the Albion aud Lewiston

pension of the rules, Mr.. Boyce

There is very lively fight on
over the bill to cut off Nampa pre-
cinct from Canyon county, and at
tach it to Ada. Nampa people
overwhelmingly favor it, while
Caldwell and some other sections
of Canyon bitterly oppose it. The
fight is complicated by another bill
cutting off part of Boise county,
these two slices to constitute a new
county to be called Butte, with
Emmett as the county seat. 1t is
asserted that in the county seat
fight last fall Emmett was promised
such {. bill in return for support for
Caldwell.

no change in the situation, and
nothing is stirring. Once more a
change is promised, but whether or

certainly. However, it is certain
that senator will be elected.
Your correspondent believes it will
be done before the middle of next
week, but side issues may further

KNOCKED OUT IN FIRST ROUND.
New EngIand's Champion Middle
Weight Whipped by Joe WallcOtt.


BOSTON, Aug. 28.--Dick O'Brien, of

THE CHINESE RIOTERS
A CONSIDERABLE NUMBER OF
THEM ALREADY TRIED
AND CONVICTED.
BY THE KUTIEN COMMISSION

The Chinese Officials Are Lending
Their Active Co-Operation to the In
vestigation and Matters are Progress
sing in the Most Satisfactory Manner
The Conduct Of Liu Ping Chung, Late
VicerOy of Szu. ChuaE, viii Also be
Investigated by China
WASHINGTON, D. O., Ang. % The
Department. has received cable advicas
from Minister Denby, dated August
27th, in which he states that Mr. Hix-
son, our Consul at Foo Chow, started for
Kutien under orders from him to inves-
tlgate the recent riots in the early part
of the month. Mr.. Hixson went with
the consent of the Chinese government
and under the protection of an escort
furnished him by the Provincial author
tiles. He was accompanied by q naval
officer Of our fleet, the latter, as the de.
partment has been advised from other
sources, being Commander Newell of the
Detroit.
Mr.. Hixson reported to Minister DENLY
that the work Of the committee at Ku-
tien is proceeding smoothly and that the
Chinese officials are lending their active
co operation. a considerable number Of
convictions have already beea secured.
AS to the Szu- -Chuan Commission, Mr..
DENLY states that it will begin its work
as soon as the British Consul at Chung
King, who has been designated by his
government to serve thereon, can leave
his post, which, for the time being, he
finds it impossible to do.
The late Viceroy of Szu Chuan, Liu
Ping Chang, has not been appointed by the
Pekin government on its commission for
investigating either the June or August
riots, but he has received orders from
the Emperor to remain at his post at
Cheng Tu until his conduct prior to and
during the riots had been thoroughly in
Vestigated.
The first paragraph in the above state
ment furnished by the State Depart
ment, completely disposes of a story sent
from Washington by the United Press a
few days ago, to the effect that Consul
Hixson had proceeded hastily and with
2ut authority. The whole statement
also disposes of another baseless story
that Minister DenbY's course was unsat-
i8factory and that he was likely to be re-
called.
1t is stated at the department that
matters are progressing in China in an
entirely satisfactory manner.

EX-CONsUL WALKERS CASE.
PToba BILE That No Further Action Will
be Taken at Present.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. est is
probable that no further action will be
taken in the case of ex-Consul Waller
until his statement taken by Newton B.
Eustis and Mr.. Alexander is received
and examined. 1t is stated that the
case then will be a purely legal one, and
that the action of the department will
depend upon the laWfuIness of the
French military court and its actions
and the legal status of Mr.. Waller's con-
tentions.
The statements of Mr.. Waller are to be
compared with the statements of Consul
Wetter at Tamatave, who has made re-
port to the department of facts gathered
by him in Madagascar. There is yet
wanting copy of the record Of the ar
rest and conviction of Waller, which re-
cord the French government has promis-
ed. If it is not forthcoming, the case
will be that much stronger against
the French government. If it has not
arrived by the time the department is
prepared to act upon the case as present
ed by Consul Wetter and Mr.. Waller, the
probabilities are that the French govern
ment will be asked to release the consul
at once, aud to indemnity him for the
wrongs he has suffered,
The French Think il UnimpOrtant.
PARIS, Aug. 28-The Figaro this
morning declares that the Waller affair
is unimportant; that Waller was only
an American Consul through accident;
that he never did well and that his CON
er1Iar colleSones in addition tn the na-
tives, Stunned him. The Figaro adds:
Nothing serious can result from the
negotiations regarding his condemna-
ton, for he is not worth the trouble.
The Castine incident is more serious; but
any formal complaints should come from
France and not America, which is en-
tirely in the wrong. Moreover, the
American newspaper campaign in this
connection is nothing but an engine of
election warfare without Importance for
us, and aimed much more against Presi-
dent Cleveland and Mr.. Eustis.

AMERICANS NOW IN LONDON.
Speaker Crisp Makes Another Visit
to Parliament.

LONDON, Aug. 2s.-There was a good
representation of American public men
this evening in one of the car
riages of the great wheel at Earl's
Court. 1t included ex-Speaker Crisp,
Richard Croker, J. A. Smith,
of New Jersey; Congressman Tars-
ney and Mcclellan, E. W. Barrett, of
Georgia; David Mcclure, of New
York, and others, all of whom talked
politics. Mr.. Croker ventured the as
sertion that New York would go Demo
cratic in the autumn, which, he added,
with the return of prosperity would
make the Democratic chances good for
the Presidential election.
Mr.. Crisp visited the House of Com
mons to-day as the guest Of Speaker
Gully and saw a division counted. He
afterward said he preferred the method
of voting In Congress.
The ex-speaker, who has just returned
from Ireland, said that after witnessing
the prosperous condition Of England and
France, he felt sad while in Ireland at
the evident lack of prosperity. He saw
much want there but thinks it a beauti
fui country and was charmed with the
people.

NEWS FRESH FROM MEXICO,
For the First Time in History the
Republics are United by Wire.

CHICAGO, H., Aag. 28.--The leased
wire system of the Associated Press,
through the cooperation of the Western
Union Telegraph Company, has been ex-
tended from San Antonio to Laredo,
Texas, on the border of Mexico, which
connection is made with the system of
the Mexican National Railway Co
Tonight for the first time in the his
tory of Mexico, the two repablics are
united by direct telegraphic news con-
nections and the full report of the Asso-
ciated Press will hereafter be sent direct
to the capitol of Mexico where it will be
published by the Herald, the leading
paper Of the republic. The Associated
Press will also receive the news OF
Mexico direct, and it is contemplated to
deliver this news in New York and San
Francisco within ten minutes of its fling.
viii Be of the Greatest Value.
New YORK, Aug. 28.-Regarding the
extension of the Associated Press Lines
from San Antonio to Laredo, on the
Mexican border, and from there to the
City of Mexico, over the wires of the
Mexican National Railway Company,
Mr.. Raonl President of the Mexican
National, said:
although | can not, at the moment,
discuss the business transactions in
volved in the scheme to establish
news line direct from the United States
to the center of Mexico, l can speak
OF the advantage such an enter
prise would be to both the Uni
ted States and Mexico. My intimate
knowledge of the country, and the
present facilities for obtaining news,
either from or for Mexico, has caused
me TO give the matter my hearty ap-
proval because believe the effort to be
in the interest of the development of
Mexico, and consequently, in the inter
est of the people of the United States,
who have business relations with the sis
ter Republic. Heretofore any person in
Mexico, having an item of news, inter
esting or otherwise, true or false, has
had the privilege of sending that item
to the press of the United States with
the effect that many very erroneous ideas
have been fastened in the minds of the
people of the United States regarding
Mexican affairs.
Furthermore, the fact that news Of
a political nature should be transmitted
from the City of Mexico to Washington
or the reverse, with almost no delays,
and that such news would be authentic
and reliable, would be of the greatest
value to both republics"

New YORK, Aug. 2s.-No trace has

tor named Joseph Kramer has told of
seeing a we'll l-dressed young man at
Staten Island resort Tuesday evening,
who seemed to have just emerged from
the water, and whose head was badly
cut; but thus far there is no confirmation
of the story, which has in it many Gle
ments of impr0bability.

Ell RENO, o. T., Aug est is re-
ported here to day that Captain Baldwin,
United States Army, acting agent at the
Kiowa, Commanche and Apache Agency,
at Anadarko, was murdered last night
by Indians.
The report lacks verlfcation as yet,
but Federal officers credit it, except that
they believe the murder was committed
by gamblers and whiskey peddlers against
whom Capt. Baldwin has been waging a
relentless war for some time past. The
report has created considerable excite
ment here and a party of marshals is on
the way to that country.
