Boise, Idaho, Jan. 1o.-[Specia1.j-At
the morning house session ten bills
were introduced. In the afternoon ses-
sion the bill appropriating $SlSS.SS LOT
expenses of the insane asylum was
passed. The house and senate then
adjourned until 10 a. m. tomorrow.
The Republicans went into caucus to-
night and upon roll call nineteen re-
enonded, thus pledging the abiding sup
port of that number to Sweet. a par
tisan press is diligently spreading re-
ports foreign to Sweets strength, while
Nie action Of the caucus tonight proves
the Sweet forces stand ready for caucus
rule. Sweet is in the lead with Shoup
now sparring for time. The best in
formed men concede Shoup can not be
elected without hearty Populist aid.
The nineteen votes pledged Sweet TO-
night are sufficient to nominate IN eau
Gus. In addition to the Sweet vote IN
caucus tonight, Sweet may get Senator
Brown and Representative Gamble, OF
Latah county, and Senator Dewey, Of
Owyhee. Ali these men were pledged
and instructed for Sweet. In addition
10 the unanimous insuuctions of the
convention which nominated them,
Brown and Gamble each pledged them
selves upon every platform in Latah
county during the campaign to vote and
work for Sweet. This was particularly
true at the meeting held by Congress-
1nan-elect Wilson in Latah county.
Gamble is receiving large numbers OF
kilograms from his county demanding
that he keep faith with his people,
Brown is opposed to a. caucus, but will
| probably vote for Sweet in open session
/ al any time that his vote will not elect
ssysiff1I. Senator Dewey represents Owyhee
and Cassia counties. Cassia county Re
publicans expressed their preference fol-
Sweet at the primaries. Dewey Pledged
himself before nomination TO both dele
cations and he was unanimously in
7uGcted by the Joint convention which
illuminated him to vote for Sweet. In.
dycations are tonight that the Republi.
cans Of Owyhee are aroused and viii
demand their senator go into caucu:
and keep faith with the convention tina
nominated him.
The suggestion contained in the Tri
soune editorial OF the Sth that Inc com.
mission as United States senator from
men who broke faith with their constt
tuents is not worth having, would di
7-ectly apply in case Shoup should b.
elected by the aid OF these 8 votes.

TAYLOR'S CONFEDERATEs.
State officials Believe the Whole
Thing Was Planned.

st. Paul, Jan. 10.-A Pierre, S. D,
special to the Globe says: Facts have
come into the possession of the estate
officials which make them reasonably
certain that Treasurer Taylor and GER.
tain confederates deliberately went TO
work after it became evident that he
could not square his accounts, to hold
mise by which ne should escape from
the penalty and his bondsmen should
be protected from loss.
The state was in hard place finan-
cially If not a CeIh had been lost
there would have been a. deficit on the
first day of next July or fully 100000
due to over appropriations by the last
legislature, and to the slow payment
of the taxes on account of The short
crops. How to eXtrfcate the common
wealth has been the subject command
ing the most earnest Thought and anxi-
ETY. Of the state officials. The perma-
nent appropriations are so hign that
the legislature, no matter what econ
onny may animate it, could hardly
bring the expenditures within the reve-
nues. There were due on the 9Th of
January. 100000 worth of funding
warrants held by eastern parties. This
was due to a considerable sum on the
coupon bonds. while the sinking fund
was preparing to take up the semi-an-

The Legislature was in session and i'm
mediate calls would be made on the
treasury for at least $780, 900. OF course
| the treasurer knew all this. 1t is be-
! lieved by the authorities on SubStan-
tial evidence that, realizing that he
\ would be short $780, 600 when the trans
fer was to be made on the Sth. he
consulted with some friends, and back
ers, and they decided tine best thing
to do was to sieze all the money in
| the treasury and put it in a place Of
| hiding where it could be gotten ait
when desired. Then when the default
was discovered the state would be
| found bankrupt. Were it to sue on the
bonds of the treasurer. two years or
more would elapse before any money
| would be recovered and during that
| time the credit Of South Dakota would
sink very low. The parties TO the plan
| concluded that rather than let this
come TO pass the state officers would
do almost anything within reason.
Then the plan was to come forward
through an agent and propose to pay
back to the state the S250,000 which the
tresAsurer mad carried off ON condition
THAT the hondsrnen would be released
land that Taylor should be relieved
from further prosecution.
1t is impossible TO give the details
Of the evidence on which this suppose
ltion is based. but it is regarded as con
elusive 1t is now known that several
lpeople were aware of the condition

HOOKING VALLEY RAILROAD.
Judge Pugh OverruIes the Trust
Company's Demurrer.

Columbus. o.. Jan. 10-Judge Pugh to-
day decided the demurrer of Judge Burke
and his associates to the petition of the
New York Central Trust company, which
asks for a judgment of SS,000,000 under
the bonds of the Hooking Valley railway,
issued in 1881. and held that demurrer was
not we'll founded, and therefore overruled
in which to file an answer. With reference
to the claim that NJ. NJ. Greenes estate
could not be held, the court said the claim
vas not worthy of extended consideration,
and passed it off by holding that it was
not good claim. The question which
the court leaves in doubt is, was the trust
created by Burke and the rest of the
executive committee of the Hooking Val
ley rcad and an expires sed trust or a
constructive trust. If it was an expressed
trust, it continues until the present
time IF it was a constructive trust,
Burke and the other defendants are en-
titled to have the statute of limitation run
in their favor.

RAW MATERIALS.
A Combination to Destroy COMPETE
ton and Enhance Prices.

Duluth, Mimi, Jan. 1O.-The details of
what is to be one of the biggest COM
bfnations in raw materials i'm the United
States are now under consideration. The
probabilities are that within a few
weeks the combination will be effected
that reasonably good price shall be
OBTAINED for three-quarters of the bes-
semer iron ore mined in this country.
There will be but three companies in
the deal. These are the Minnesota Iron
company, with an expected output this
year of 100000 tons; the Nor-rie, which
put out this year nearly a million tons,
and the Colby. which has been put into
such shape that it can come we'll up
toward the capacity of the Norrie These
three companies will mine fully three
quarters of the besserner output of the
country The expectation is that the
sale of the ores of these companies will
be made chiefly by one firm of Cleve-
land brokers.

ORDER PROMULGATED.
Catholics Must Not Belong to Secret
Societies.

SVCIetIeS.
Cincinnati Jan. 10.-Archbishop Elder
today promulgated the order akainst Odd
Fellows, knights of Pythias and Sons of
Temperance and accompanied the text of
the order with a statement of reasons
why good Catholics should obey. The
fact that the reasons for the order are not
understood. he says, is no excuse for dis
obedience any more than it is for violation
of civil law when the reason for the en-
actment is not understood. Just as the
state must enforce its laws for the preser-
walton of order, so must the church en-
force such rules as are essential for the
welfare of souls. He went on. however,
to state some of the reasons in this
case. One was that to belong to these
orders made Catholics more tolerant of
Free Masonry, which had long been de-
cIared inimical to the church. Another
was that in the case of the Knights of
Pythias. a. pagan is selected to be treated
as q saint.
