PopuIlsts Can't Agree to Support
Willis Sweet.
SH0UP MEN ARE CONFIDENT
Northern Republicans Caucused but r
rived at No ConcIusion-Intense
Apprehension Exists

Boise, Idaho, Jan. 21.-The senatorial
ballot showed no change today. Sena-
tor Dewey was absent on account of ill
ness and was impaired. He has hereto

TWO ballots was: Willis Sweet 20, George

Tonight there is a great stir and it is
felt that something is impending. A
caucus of the original 10 Sweet men
was not held. A caucus of the house re-
publicans was held, but the senatorial
matter did not come up. The populists
were in caucus on the proposition of set
Ting the matter by electing Sweet. If
is understood that a hard fight was i'm
progress among them. The populist
state committee is believed to be urging
the action. In the meantime Senator
Browne of Latah has all the northern
republicans in his room with the de-
clared purpose Of inducing them not to
agree to support a southern man. AT
II 10 both of these conferences were still
in session.
The populists agreed, after long ses-
sion, to vote for Clagett again. Some
say they will vote for him right through.
The conference of the northern re-
publicans has reached no result. 1t was
suggested that they refuse to vote for
a southern man, but no action was ia
ken. There is a condition of intense ap-
prehension existing at this hour. The
Shoup men are very confident. The
basis of confidence is not stated, but the
failure to stampede the populists to

Mexico City, Jan. 19.-Don Emilio De

about as follows. First, full satisfac-

Mexican territory and destruction by
armed Guatemalan officers of logging
camps belonging to Mexican citizens
and Americans.
Second-Due indemnity for damage
done on said invasion.

He deplores the condition Of affairs at
Honolulu and declares that Hawaii has
many important questions to deal with

was learned from friends of the minister
that the Japanese question is becoming
serious one, and that the provisional
government has not only had the royal
lists to deal with, but it has also had to
use force to suppress an uprising Of
japanese labOrers on the plantation of
Eva. Eva is a 20000-acre grant sit
uated Is miles back of Honolulu. Sew
eral days before the revolt headed by
Wilcox broke out 200 Japanese on the
plantation attacked their overseer and
nearly killed him. Several white men
were pretty badly beaten by the rioters
and the police had to be called on for

Expected Interference in the Senatorial
Fieht Did Not MateriaIize.


Fieht Did Not Materialize.
Boise City, Jan. 1.-THE hall of the
house Of representatives was crowded
when the hour for the ballot on United
States senator arrived today. The air
had been filled with rumors that the
populists were to take a hand in the
contest and everybody was on the anx-
ious seat 1t turned out, however, that
there was to be no such break today
The ballot resulted exactly as that Of
the day before. The populist rumor
seems to have started from a number Of
circumstances. There was unusual ac-
tivity during the night, telegram had
been received from the populists in
Washington, d. c., and Captain Gum
had told Senator Shoup that he would
be politically dead in the morning. The
telegram alluded to is declared by some
populists to be- forgery.
Tonight there is no change. The best
information obtainable is that the pop
ulists will not take action tomorrow
What they will do when they do take
action, if al ALL is uncertain, though
the concensus of opinion is that they
will go for Sweet Some Of them say
they will never vote for Sweet The fact
probably is that if they do not caucus
the vote will be divided, but if the unit
rule is applied they will probably be
for Sweet. 1t is uncertain that they will
dip in Immediately, though it is general
ly believed that they eventually will.
Neither the Shoup nor Sweet leaders
care to talk on the subject for publica-
ton.
The ballot for senator today showed

IN THE LEGISLATURE.
Boise. Idaho. Jan. 1.-THE business
in the legislature today was of routine
character and the only especially inn
pOrtant action was the final passage
of the woman suffrage resolution.
In the senate a bill to reduce the
number of trustees of the Soldiers
Home from Is to was laid on the table
with a resolution in favor of Governor
McConnells plan to put the home in
charge of a superintendent acting under
the direction of a board composed of
state officers.
In the house the woman suffrage reso-
luton was passed with only two dissent
ing votes-Henry of Kootenai and BaX-
ter of Logan. 1t now goes to the gov
ernor for his signature
A bill was introduced providing for a
boRd issue of $4,000, the proceeds TO
be equally divided between the Lewis
ton and the Albion normal schools for
the purpose of erecting buildings, etc.
The money is to be in the nature Of a
loan, the state TO be reimbursed from
the sale of lands set aside for the
schools.
The senate committee on counties has
settled the boundary dispute between
Washington and Idaho counties. The
northern line of Washington will be
moved just 10 miles north, giving all
of the Seven Devils region to Washing
ton county. The representatives Of
both counties have agreed TO the settle
ment.

several members, some from each side,

stood that the senatorial matter will
then be gone over.
IN THE LEGISLATURE.
In the house today the bill repeating
the merchants license law was passed
with only two dissenting votes. In the
senate a bin was passed repeating the
law enacted at the last session pro-
viding that debts shall be payable in
either gold or silver, anything in the
contract TO the contrary notwithstand-
ing. This bill called out an interesting
debate in which Mr.. Cunningham of
Ada showed that the law was a mere
sentiment that effected nothing for sill
yer and that it made it harder upon
borrowers in the state. The populists
opposed it's repeal. voting against it
solidly. Other business in the legisla-
ture was of a routine character. The
senate adjourned at noon and the house
held only a short session in the after
noon.
