ALLIES OF ITALY 10 GATHER
Germany and Austrin to Renew Old
Ties of Friendship.

Rome, March ia report Is in circu-
lation that Emperor william, Emperor
Francis Joseph and King Humbert
Will meet at Genoa In a few days and
that series Of brilliant fetes will mark
this public proof of the renewal of the
ties which compose the dreibund, which
is Intended to demonstrate to all whom
1t may concern that Italy, instead of
being frlendless, upon the verge of
bankruptcy and encumbered by a tot
terlng throne, Is strong In the earnest
support of Germany and Austria, and
VIII be backed by Great Britain in any
great emergency. 1t Is added that
British naval squadron will be ordered
to Genoa on the occasion of the meet
ing of the emperors and King Humbert,
In order to openly demonstrate Great
Britain's sympathy with Italy and the
dreibund Finally 1t Is said that before
the emperors meet at Genoa Emperor
Francis Joseph will have succeeded in
entirely reconciling Queen Victoria with
her imperial grandson, and so the peace
of Europe, 1t Is hoped, will be further
cemented, and the probability of a Eu-
ropean war viii be driven further and
further into the background.
Renewed Hope.
Rome, March 13.-Out of the storm of
popular anger which swept over Italy
when the news of the defeat of the
army under General Baratieri reached
here, little remains but feeling of
great resentment against the Italian
commander. All rloting has ceased.
Negotiations with MenelilS have been
opened.
1t is anticipated that peace will be
concluded before long, and the war Of
flee has countermanded the instructions
sent to various points for the hurrying
forward of achievements to Africa.
The new cabinet is settling down to
work, and the financial situation is
brighter than anticipated.

A WIFE MURDERER REspITED
Thomas Puncbion Given Until April
3 to Live.

st. Joseph, Mo-, March 13.-Thomas
Punchion, the wife-murderer, whose ex-
ecution had been set by the supreme
court for today, has been respited by
Governor Stone for one month, or until
April 3 next. Few people believe that
Punchion will hang at that time, the
general impression being that, in view
of the extraordinary circumstances of
the case, Governor Stone will commute
the death penalty to a term of impris-
onment.
Punchion's predicament is of his own
making. His crime was deliberate and
his guilt fully proved. On his first trial
however the jury was inclined to a
lenient view and let him off with 20
years Imprisonment. The convicted
man and his counsel, however, thought
that better than this might be done,
and new trial was secured. 1t result
ed in Punchion being again found gull
ty, but this time the death penalty was
imposed. The case went to the SUI
preme court, where the decision was
affirmed and a day of execution set.
Punchion has since several times ex-
pressed himself to the effect that he
wishes he had taken the 20 years and

CRIMINAL CASES AT BOISE, IDAHO
cattle Thief COnvicted-TraEe
Predicted in the Future.

Boise, Idaho, March 13.-A case that
mas been attracting great deal of at
tehtlon was brought to q close when
ia FERRIS was convicted of cattle steal
ing. 1t was his second trial. In the
ilrst trlal he was acquitted. The trial on
the second count Immediately followed,
and has resulted as stated.
Inc evidence in both cases was prac-
tically the same
There has been much interest in the
matter, and the verdict is very satisfac-
tory to cattle men who have suffered
from depredations of the rustlers for
years.
Ferris is the man who escaped to Col
orado and was arrested there.
1t is stated that the people of Cassia
county, If they fail to bring the muir
derers of Jerome Cummings and John
Wilson to justice in the courts. will or
ganize to put stop to such acts of
laWlessness. The trouble there is be-
tween cattle men and sheep men. Sew
eral tragedies have resulted, Cummings
and Wilson, sheep herders, being killed
about February A, while tending their
flocks.
There Is trouble in prospect over the
accounts of Captain ]. M. Wells. who
acted as Idaho's worlds fair commits
sioner. He deposited funds of the state
IN the Columbian bank in Chicago, that
failed, S154S being locked up. Wells
commission expired January 1, 1894.
Since then the receiver of the bank
has paid him some 20 per cent on the
claim.
1t Is claimed that Wells had no right
to receive the money, and that having
received it, he should at once pay it into
the state treasury. A demand has been
made upon him for a settlement, and
his bondsmen have been notified of the
action taken.

i UNION PACIFIC VENTILATION
Senate Committee Looking Into Its
Affairs.

Washington, March 13.-The senate
| committee on Pacific railroads resum-
ed Its sitting today, devoting itself 10
the Union Pacific. Oliver w. Mink,
one of the receivers of that road was
Intercepted by Senator Wolcott and
said there was included in the Union Pa
cifc system about 5000 miles. of which
| l430 was government aided road and
1922 belong to the Union Pacific Com
pany For these 1922 miles the gross
earnings have been for the 26 months
since the road came into the hands of
receivers 49,. 1892, 6S2. the operating ex-
| penses S21, 179. 1893. He said that in this
| time the company had paid $3,505, 1865
| interest on debts secured, especially
| upon the company's land, Of which it
held $4,000 acres.
The inquiries during the afternoon
session Of the committee was devoted
TO the question of reorganization, Mr..
Mink being on the stand. He said
that the Union Pacific, judged by the
earnings of recent years, would not be
able to assume a fixed interest charge
OF not to exceed $4,000000. In any plan
of reorganization, the Oregon Short
Line should be retained in the system
He suggested that the United States
appoint a commission and empower 1t
to negotiate for a settlement. Mr.. Mink
said the consolidation of the Central
Pacific and the Union Pacific would
make a strong combination, but that if
the Oregon Short Line was retained IN
the Union Pacific system the Central
Pacific would not be necessary to the
former. Mink took POSITIVE ground
against government ownership of the
road.
5. II. II. Clark, one of the receivers,
was examined as to the Union Pacific
connections at the Missouri river and
said the road had closer relations with
the Chicago & Northwestern than with
any other line. He knew of no reasons
for the fact that the Northwestern in
fiuence was especially strong in the
reorganization plan and asserted that
he did not know Hon. Chauncey NJ. De
pew
Clark positively said that the road
was paying no rebates and that it was
not in politics.
In Questioning Mink Mr. Woclott di-
rected his efforts to show that Russell
Sage and George Gould, who are the
trustees for the consolidated mortgage
OF the Kansas Pacific line, had prevent
ed the payment of the first mortgage in
terest, but Mink hesitated to reply to
these questions, saying they involved
legal questions with which he was not
familiar.
Mr.. Gear announced an executive
meeting of the committee for Monday.
when 1t will be decided whether any
more hearings will be necessary.

the governor and see If such an order
had been issued Bronston bitterly
scored the governor. Goebel said the
governor had no right to interfere with
rights of the senate. II for one" he
shouted, "am ready to protect my own
rights and privileges"
Salier. democrat, said 1t was the duty
OF the senate out OF respect to the gov
ernOr to send a committee to find out If
he issued such an order. Bronston said:
Never win committee go to the gov
ernor with my consent or with my
vote"
Sheriff Armstrong here said that he
had received the orders mentioned from
the governor Bronston said: II would
denounce the act of the governor, If it
were with the last drop Of my blood.
1t Is an outrageous, unlawful. treach-
erous act" he screamed amidst the
pounding OF the gavel and the suppress
ed hum Of many voices. Let the gov
ernor leave us alone. and pass resolu-
tons to condemn the man who is gov
ernor by accident. I denounce his ac-
ton and am ready as a Kentuckian
and as a man"
Senator Deboe denounced the renec-
ton on the governor as false and I'M
true. II say 1t to his face" said he,
glaring at Bronston. Then he sat down.
Bronston jumped up and commenced
to unbutton his vest. Before he could
act the presiding officer succeeded In
restoring order.
Salier said he was not willing to in
suit the governor and moved to refer
the motion offered by Bronston to the
committee on rules. This was done

Blackburn wing. seeing they had been
outvoted, subsidized In joint assembly
