Supported by All Except Three or
-Four Counties In the State.

Boise. Idaho, May 10.-Au the republican
county conventions but one have been held
and many have been heard from. The re-
suit is almost unanimous Endorsement
Of the attitude Of Senator Dubois. With
only three or four exceptions the county
conventions have supported him. Most Of
them have directly instructed their dele
gates to vote for him as delegate to
st. Louis. The sentiment is almost over
whelming in favor OF sending no man to
st. Louis who will not stand squarely for
Dubois policy. 1t is a great victory for
him. Reports from the southeastern coun-
ties show they went with a sweep for
Dubois. Blaine county instructed for Du-
bois, Wilson and Sweet as delegates; Ere
mont for Dubois, Wilson and Sweet and
Ben Rich; Bannock for the three first
named. Bingham did not instruct but
strongly Endorsed Dubois position. Bear
Lake Is anti-Dubois, but no opposition is
expressed in the resolution. Its delegates
were instructed for VIM. Bulge as dele
gate. Lincoln county went against Du-
bos and for Mckinley.

The outcome of the case will be watched
with considerable interest, since 1t Ell

to drive out into Montana if driven Off
the company's lands. The sheep men are
not much afraid of being driven out, be-
cause they do not believe the cattle men
can offer the company better terms for
this year than they can.

London, May 10.-The Daily News will
say in an editorial tomorrow regarding
the cases of the Competitor captives IL
Havana:
The serious news from Cuba places the
Spanish government between two fires. 1t
is difficult to see how either side can re-
cede. If the Spanish government sacri-
fees General Weyler 1t will probably have
to be prepared to sacrifice it's own life
Public opinion in Madrid IL hardly well

cases of this sort. The butchery OF the
men of the Virginius. which many of
trem applauded at the time as q fine and
spirited act. was received with horror and
sxecration throughout tbs world.

county is on the verge of sinking an

Within the last 48 hours the jail de-
partment has settled all of eight inches,
which has so twisted the cells and
their bearings that it has become neces-
sary TO remove the prisoners for safe
keeping. Speaking of the matter Coun-
ty Commissioner Bancroft said: This
Ia the second time such a thing has oc-
CURED, but not until today has the fact
been made known that the foundation
Of the cells was made in the most reck-
less manner possible. The excavation
was to bed rock, but the foundation ma
terial was brick-bats and other debris
from the main building. This trash
was dumped into the excavation by the
ton. Occasionally a little mud was
thrown in. When the foundation, how
ever. was nearly laid, more care was
taken. The surface of the foundation
was nicely cemented and appeared as
solid as rock. We will put force at
work on the structure Immediately and
will use every precauuOn possible TO
make the foundation solid and stable

ylous to her marriage with the Emperor. she
used to make her dresses just the same as
any other girl.
The home commands the whole OF the
Japanese woman's attention. There and
there only does she reign. AS every Jap
