NEW YORK, Oct. 25.-It has been
learned that the representatives of the
Spanish government in this country
have discovered what is said to be a
new plot on the part of the sympathiz-
ers with the Cuban insurgents to ship
ammunition from the United States to
their compatriots in Cuba. The Span
ish government representatives heard
of the scheme some time ago and en-
ployed a detective agency in the city
IN investigate it. Detectives have been
watching the operations of the insur-
gents friends for three weeks and have
reported to their employers that they
have obtained sufficient facts to SUBJ
stantiate the original story.
The friends of the insurgents accord
ing to the story, have sent large con-
signments of toys to Havana. These
toys consist mostly of large and I'M
usually heavy dolls. Their weight is
accounted for by the detectives who as
sert that each doll contained a dozen
rifle cartridges
The last consignment of dolls sent

Headquarters Democratic State Com
mittee, Salt Lake City, Oct. %, 1895.
To the Democrats of Utah:
The great issues before the people of
Utah, for Discriminate this fall affect
the future of every citizen. They are
of such nature that every true Demo-
crat should exert himself and herself
to the utmost. We have given our
pledge to the nation that we are and
shall be politically free. The honor,
therefore, of a great people is at stake.
The reports received at the Demo-
cratic state headquarters are of the
most encouraging nature. Since the
extra ordinary session Of the reconVened
convention, words of good cheer are
hourly received and everywhere the
party is displaying the utmost activity.
AS q consequence there is 2 constant
demand for literature, organizers and
speakers. We are satisfied that the
territory is Democratic and if the
voters act upon their own unbiased
judgments, the Democratic state ticket
will be elected and the legislature will
~be Democratic upon joint ballot. Our
n party is rallying from the staggering
blow that it received and. with con-
slant and unceasing work by every
member of the party, we will be re-
Warded with victory.
The number Of doubtful voters re-
turned by our convassers, is something
unprecedented in 6. political campaign
Ten per cent Of the vote sent in is
marked as doubtful. With a total regis
tration of $4,000 this would make $500
doubtful voters in the territory. Our
canvass has been made with great care,
the party workers all having been in
structed to mark down no man as a
Democrat, unless there was absolutely
no question but what he will vote the
Democratic ticket. This accounts in a
great measure for the large number of
doubtful votes but at the same time
there is a good field for hard and earn
est work with the promise of good re-
suits.
The state committee desires to do its
full duty to the party and hence ap-
peals to all Democrats, men and wo-
men. TO aid it with time and money in
accordance with their means. The
committee has not received a dollar Of
assistance from any person outside of
Utah and is in need Of funds for the
absolute necessities of the campaign.
To meet the bills already incurred, to
meet those that will arise in the future
and to meet the expenses of Salt Lake
county (as all funds raised in this
county have been turned into the treas
ury Of the state committed, we will
need at least $1,000.
Under these conditions. this being the
peoples fight, we appeal to the people
for help.
Your contribution, no matter how
small will help US, ard you will aid
Utah.
VIII you not aid US in this emerg-
ency? o. W. POWERS,

As Delegate at Large He is Ex-
pected to Become n Powerful
Factor in the Republican Com
vention in Mckinley's Interest.

CHICAGO, Oct. pa special to the
Chicago News from Washington says:
Senator Sherman, despite his years, will
in all probability be an active participant
in the Republican national convention Of
1886
The role will be new ore for the
senator. In the conventions of 1880, 1854
and 1888 of his party he was a candidate
for president, either activa or passive.
and OF necessity did not attend the con-
vention. He was a silent figure in the
proceedings OF 1892. His announcement
now that he is not a candidate on ac-
count of his years, that he has at last
given up the ambition of his life and is
now outspoken for Mckinley is made for
a purpose. The senator has been asked
by friends Of Mckinley, to become one
of the delegates at large at next years
convention and will, in all probability be
be requested to present the name of
ohio's favorite son. The information
comes from a friend of McKinley's.
The Mckinley boom has always carried
q long line of spectacular features but
this latest, of honest John Sherman hold
ing the ribbons over the fractions and
spirited Ohio Republican team, and keep
ing the skittish Foraker in the traces.

ENDLESS IDAHO LITIGATION
OVER APPORTIoXMENT OF THE
DEBT OF BLAINE AND LINCOLN.
BIainites Claim the Accountants
MaIiciousIy JuEsied the Figures
and Gave Them Much the Worst
of the Bargain-ParIey Williams
Counsel For Lincoln.
Especial to The HeraId.I

BOISE CITY, Idaho, Oct 25-Another
chapter in the apparently never ending
and now famous litigation between what
was Alturas and Logan counties, but
now Blaine and Lincoln, has been opened
by filing in the district court of Ida coun-
ty. suit entitled Blaine county VS.. Lin
coin county, the object of which is To
secure the apportionment of the in
debtedness of the two counties. The ac-
countants. under the law, Messrs. Mall
lory and Lake, reported the total indebt-
edness of the two counties to be SILL
SS1.72. of which Blaine's portion was
S242, 1888 and Lincoln's $169. 077. 80. the
former being $50 and the latter Al per
cent, the proportion being based upon
the assessed valuation for 1894. To these
figures, the accountants added to
Blafne's portion the appraised value of
the court house, S41,7OO, and deducted the
same amount from Lincoln's portion.
This fixed Blaine's share of the total
debt at S284, OO3.S5 and Lincoln's at $127,-
ST.S9. The Blaine commissioners being
dissatisfied with the report had another
made by Secretary of State Garrett.
This gave the total indebtedness of the
two counties S625. 22S37. Deducting the
appraised value of the court house, ST.
700 and the cash in the treasury, $50, 325. OF.
left balance under Garrett report to be
apportioned of $546, 9033 80 Blaine's per-
centage of this. according to the report
is S317, 1896 and Lincoln's sos, 1850; as
between the two reports therefor Lin
coin is required to pay about $112,OGO more
under the Garrett report than under the
accountants report. This amount Blaine
claims it
Would BE Defrauded Out OF
if the accountants report should stand.
The Blaineites claim the accountants
maliciously juggled with the figures and
gave Blaine decidedly the worst of the
bargain. The prayer of complaint is:
That the actual value of the court house
premises at date of appraisement be as
certained and decided by the court; that
they decree that the report made by the
accountant is incorrect, untrue, unjust
and illegal; that it decree the correct
apportionment of such indebtedness:
that the defendant be ordered to issue to
the plaintiff its warrants in the sum Of
S2S9. 07.4S or in such sum as this court
ascertains and determines is the correct
and true portion of said indebtedness.
which should be paid by Lincoln county
The Blainites claim the court house is
not worth over $4,000 and will insist on
its being appraised at no higher figure.
Lincoln people will resent charges made
against them and the accountants. 1t is
understood in case the new apportion-
ment is denied, the Blaineites will bring
suit to test the COnStitutiOnality of the
law creating Lincoln county If il should
be declared unconstitutional Lincoln
would be swallowed up in Blaine. Lin
coins leading counsel is Farley L. Will
Eams, of Salt Lake.
