The Populist of Idaho might
have had the state legislature.
If we did not get it, let no man
ever say it was the fault of the
Democrats, for no people ever
tried harder or more honestly to
aid us than they, and we coldly
repealed their friendly and well
meant advances. Whatever may
be said in other states about
Democrats aiding Republicans ii
cannot be truthfully said in Ida
no, at least, not until the Popu-
lists closed the doors against
further advances, did the Demo
Gratis entertain any proposition
from them. There is no good
purpose to be subserved by re-
counting the errors of the past,
unless we learn wisdom from
them in the future. Boise Sen

the administration cannot say
that it begins the New Year I'M
der pleasant auspices. Although
1t has some other things to think
about which are not over-pleas-
ant, it is the financial situation
that is responsible for the really
serious worry. 1t may be that
the syndicate of bankers which
bought the last issue of bonds
did not intend to add to the en-
barrassment of the administra-
ton by it's published criticism OF
the Carlisle currency bill; an6
then again that very thing may
have been intended. At any
rate it has done so. 1t has given
q black eye to the intention to
issue more bonds, which the con-
stantly decreasing gold reserve
had already created. Success
full issues of bonds have bee
criticized awfully, but an unsuc-
cessful issue of bonds would moi
only be criticized it would cause
a panic among the foreign hold
r of American securities which
would soon extend to this coun-
try.
1t is this situation that has
caused it to be given out that
President Cleveland, instead of
issuing more bonds, will, if this
congress fails to pass financial
legislation which will relieve the
Treasury, call an extra session
of the Fifty-fourth congress and
see if it can do any better.
What the presentcongress will
do or what sort of a bill, if any F,
will be the result of the consider
alton of the Carlisle bill by the
House, is today much more I'M
certain than it was the first day
the bill was reported to the
House. The four days of this
week that congress will be in
session will be devoted by the
House to continuing the financial
discussion and it is expected tho
the majority will~caucus in order
to see whether it is possible tc
get enough votes to pass the
Carlisle or any other bill. The
trouble with the Carlisle bill lies
largely in the fact that it's
friends are lukewarm in their
support and none of them, not
even Secretary Carlisle himself,
claim that it will afford the
Treasury any immediate relief.
Now, that is just what is wanted.
1t may be set down as certain
that if the calling of an extra
session of congress depends upon
financial legislation satisfactory
to the administration, an extra
session will be called. Indeed,
it has been asserted by Demo
Gratis that President Cleveland
has already made up his mind to
call an extra session, because of
his belief that the Republican
House will formulate and pass a
financial bill in accordance with
his ideas, which may be forced
through the Senate by a combin-
alton of Democrats and Republi-
cans. These men point out that
President Cleveland has always
been more in accord with the
Republican ideas than with those
held by his own party.
John Burns, the English labor
leader and M. p, addressed
about 1900 people here Saturday
night. Upon the platform from
which he spoke were seated sew
eral prominent public men.
President Cleveland was invited
by the labor organizations which
held the meeting, but he did not
go. The address of Mr.. Burns
was we'll received and contained
none of the Objectionable langu-
age he had been reported as hav-
ing used elsewhere.
1t remained for Senator Cam
eron to speak what the Senate
has acted fer four years. He

LOSS OF THE REINA REGENrE.
COnhicting Reports as 10 whether
She Has Been Found.

Madrid, March 20-El Emparciale this
morning says the report that the wreck
Of the missing cruiser Relna Regente has
been discovered is utterly without foun-
dation. The Alfonso XII, which was sent
out to search for the missing ship, has.
the paper asserts, returned from her
cruise without having obtained any news
regarding the fate OF the cruiser. The
government still entertains the hope that
the Reina Regente having run short Of
coal has been blown into the Atlantic
and may yet be heard from.
The Correspondence this morning re-
iterates the assertion that the Reina Re
gente has been discovered sunk in shall
low water at Bajos Aceitunos. adding
that the wreck was just visible at low tide
The paper also says that the cruiser AL
fonso XII has brought from the wreck
the bodies OF thirty of the crew of the
wrecked ship. The Alfonso XII will re-
turn to the scene Of the wreck with divers
and dragging apparatus. A cushion
washed ashore at Tarifa has been ldenti-
fled as having come from the cabin OF the
Reina Regente. 1t is asserted here that
Admiral Pasquin, minister of marine
knows the truth regarding the missing
cruiser. but that no official announcement
of her fate will be printed until a new
cabinet shall have been formed
Meanwhile Cadiz and Carthagena. where
most Of the officers and crew of the ship
belonged, are in general mourning and
the women OF these cities are heaping
maledictlon upon the heads OF the Moorish
embassy whom they look upon as the
cause of the disaster. as It was upon her
return trip from conveying them to Tan
gier that the cruiser was lost.
London. March pa dispatch from
San Fernandino, near Cadiz. says that the
coast near Couil, some what further south
Is strewn with wreckage, uniforms, flags
and numerous other articles from the lost
cruiser Reina Regente. The officials along
the coast have forbidden the people to
approach the points where the wreckage
has been cast up, ostensibly to prevent
the scenes of anguish which would ac-
company the search for the bodies Of
friends or relatives. The officials refuse
to say what they are doing 70 recover
bodies and wreckage. The people believe
they are doing nothing.

A MIG BATTLE AT LIMA.
Government Troops and Rebels
Fight for Three Days.

New York, March pa cablegram to
the Herald from Barranca, Peru, says:
THE rebels and government troops en-
gagged in a battle in Lima for three days.
The attack by the rebels under Chief Pier
ola, assisted by Durand, Ore and others,
began about O'Clock Sunday morning.
All communication with Lima has been
cut Off, and it is impossible to learn the
strength Of either force. All reports are
based on rumors and speculation.
1T is known, however, that there was
heavy cannonading and musketry firing
Sunday and Monday. This continued al
most without cessation until sundown Of
Monday. Two distinct explosions were
heard on Monday, but the place where
they occurred is not known. There was
a renewal of the firing at o. clock Tues
day morning, and it continued for six
hours. 1t is reported that the fighting
then ceased so as to permit the contend
ing forces to care for the dead and wound
ed.
THE reports from Lima are of necessity
meager. From one source 1t is reported
that President Caceres holds the palace
the principal plaza, Fort Stacattlma and
the exposition square. 1t is also reported
that he has closed all avenues of approach
to the city with armed forces.
There is another report that a detach-
ment of rebels entered the city, but they
are hemmed in by government troops.
1t is also reported that the rebels are
awaiting reinforcements, which are ex-
pected to reach the suburbs of Lima to-
night
THE rebels, it is said, have lost thirty
five men this side of Lima, and will at
tempt to break through the ranks of me
government troops at once.
So far as known, houses and buildings
in the city are uninjured except a few high
buildings, which were riddled with bull
lets. All trains have stopped running
since Saturday Foreigners living in this
village endeayored to organize an urban
guard to protect property from looters
who attempted to commit depredations

Tampa, Fla. March 20.-On Saturday

lardo and another bought tickets for an
excursion 10 Jamaica. When they pre-
sented their tickets at the South Florida
ticket office this morning they were told
by the agent that he had orders TO take
them up and pay the money back. He
first got hold Of the tickets before tell
ing them this. They went to the port
and boarded the Mascotte, rendering the
money for their passage, but the money
was refused and they were forclbly thrown
from the steamer. IL is known that these
three men had $4,000 for the revolution
lists in Cuba, and important papers for
the patriots. BY some means the Span
ish vice consul found II out and ordered
their passage cancelled. 1t is further
known that one of the three is brother
n-law Of Gen. Maru, the leader Of the
movement.

STATE OFFICERS IN A SCANDAL.
The Adjutant General of Tennessee
Resigns.


Nashville, Tenn. March 2O.-The inves-
tigation into the new penitentiary deal,
which is being made by a committee of the
general assembly to-day reached a cli-
max by the resignation of Adjt. Gen.
John A. Fite and President c. C. Estill of
the board of railway commissioners. The
designations were accepted by Gov. Tur-
ney, who at the same time, expressed
confidence in the integrity OF these men.
A year ago the board of penitentiary COM
missioners purchased a piece of real es-
tate near Nashville as the site for a
new penitentiary and advertised for bids
for the structure. During the ensuing
gubernatorial campaign 1t was charged
scandal in the deal, hence the appoint
ment Of the investigating committee. The
first definite information came I'm the
shape of testimony from W. s. Mitchell
trustee of the real estate purchased, who
said he had received 5000 to perfect the
sale. He kept $1,000 and paid the remain
der to Messrs. Fite and Estill, he says.
The committee was to-day furnished
testimony to show that the terms of
the bids for the erection of the new
penitentiary were designed to shut out
contractors in this state.
There is a strong rumor ahoat that
in case the gubernatorial investigation
results in seating Gov. Turney, he will
resign, and Ernst Pillow, speaker of the
House of Representatives, will assume
the office Of governor. thus placing II
beyond the reach Of court process.

Chicago. H.. March 2O.-It was all but
over with Tom Tracy when the referee.
George siler. stopped the contest at Tat
tersalrs tonight. Just one more blow
and Tracy's star would have set. AS 1t
was Tommy Ryan gave him such trounc-
ing that there was no question as to who
was the victor. The referee called the
fight on In the middle of the eighth
round, and did not render a decision, but
the 5000 spectators knew that Ryan could
have knocked Tracy out with one more
punch. The Australian looked like a
broken bottle of Burgundy His chest
was one olot Of blood; his left eye in deep
mourning. and his legs vera sea sick.
For the first three rounds Tracy showed
up surprisingly well and was
more than even. He fioored
on the jaw and caused Ryan's professional
smile to vanish. Then Ryan commenced
to crouch. threw up his left shoulder and
opened long cut under Tracys eye.
After this he kept hammerng and at
intervals varied the monotony by putting
his right over the heart.
In the third both went az II like two
demons Ryan went to his knees, but
was up IN a second.
Then matters began to go Ryan's way
and he kept hammerng at Tracy's bad
eye, flooring him several times. Once
Tracy was down 70 seconds. but the ref
eree's attention was distracted, Ryan
was so tigerish that he struck Tracy
after the gong sounded.
Tracy was all but out in the sth, being
knocked down twice and so groggy as
scarcely to be able to hold his hands
up. The referee stopped the contest as
unequal.
Harry Pidgeon OF New York won his
contest with the Louisiana Rosebud In a
