Willis StUeeps Return to idaho From the
st. Louts Contention.
POCATELLO, IDAHO, June %. - This
morning at 3 O'Clock large delegation of
citizens with a silver band met the west
bound passenger at the depot to welcome
Hon. Willis Sweet upon his return home
from the National Convention at ST. Louis.
AS the train approached the depot the
band played the National quickstep air,
and when Mr.. Sweet alighted from his car
cheer upon cheer rang upon the air.
Colonel Ferguson, on behalf OF Pocatello,
warmly welcomed Mr.. Sweet in pleasant
vein and said that they were there to prove
their hearty appreciation of his action as a
delegate at st. Louis and to let people at
large know how determined Idaho was in
the great silver fight which is now being
waged.
Mr.. Sweet responded in an effective way,
recalling touching and awe-inspiring Incl
dents of the st. Louis convention and the
admiration with which Senator Teller was
received, even by his political enemies,
when he announced his final determine
ton to leave the party which he had sup
ported all his life. The train then de-
parted with Mr.. Sweet for Boise City.

ELECTIONS IN CANADA,
The Liberals Have Secured a
Clear Majority in the
House.
Overthrow of the Conservative Gov.
ernment Lei by Sir Charles
Upper.

TORONTO, ONTARIO, June 23.-The gem
eral election for the Dominion Parliament
took place throughout the Dominion to-
day and the contest was probably the most
hotly contested and in some respects the
most bitter in the history of Canada. The
result is the complete overthrow of the
Conservative Government led by Sir
Charles Tupper.
While the tariff question was the most
important issue of the campaign the
Manitoba school question aroused a
greater degree OF enthusiasm and excite
ment, and leading feature in tn election
was the double headed policy of the Con-
servative party on that question. Many
Conservatives ran as supporters of the
Government on all questions except as re-
CARDS its present Manitoba remedial legis-
lation. Three Cabinet Ministers in the
Tupper Government were defeated, viz. {:
Hon. A. R. Dickey, Minister of Justice;
Hon. L. o. Taillon, Postmas ter General,
and Hon. A. des Jardines, Minister of
Public Works,
Hon. Wilfred Laurier, the Liberal leader,
was elected for two constituencies. Dalton
Mccarthy, leader of the Independents,
was also elected for two constituencies.
Hon. Joseph Martin, leading Liberal
and author of the Manitoba school law,
was defeated in Winnipeg by Hugh J. Mac
Donald, son of the late Sir John Mac
Donald.
Hon. Peter White, Speaker of the House
of Commons, and Hon. A. B. Anglers, ex-
Minister OF Agriculture from the Macken-
zieBowell Cabinet was defeated. Hon.
David Mills, e1- Minister of the Interior in
Alexander Mackenzie's Cabinet, was also
defeated.
The vote at midnight stands: Liberals
Ill, Conservatives 70, Independents s.
Patrons l. There are still eleven con-
stituencies to hear from, but it is conceded
that Laurier, Liberal leader, will, on the
assemblying of the House. have a clean
majority of 68, irrespective of the Inde-
pendents end Patrons. There was much
excitement throughout the CO untry, but
the voting passed off quietly.

Good Cricket PLaufnn.

LONDON, ENG, June 23.-The cricket
match between the English and Australian
elevens, which was begun yesterday, was
resumed to-day, the English team finish
ing their first inning with 292 runs The
Australians were all out in their first
inning yesterday with the small score of
So runs.
The Australians, by brilliant batting,
made BAT runs IN their second inning.
Trott and Gregory each contributed over
century the former scoring 143 runs
before he was retired, and Gregory I03.
The total score of the Australians for
their two innings of play is 400 runs. The
Englishmen, who are now taking their
second inning, scored 292 runs in their
first inning, and must make 100 runs to
win,

as now appears to be certain, it will re-
dound to SEocktons advantage, for when
they were IN operation this city was made
the base of supplies for everything used
by the miners. They did great deal more
buying here than do the gold miners
farther up the road. For this reason the
local merchants will be interested in the
statement that they will soon reopen.
There has never been any doubt as to
the productiveness of the mines at Cop
peropolis. They are said to be far richer
than the great Anaconda in Montana that
was recently sold to foreign syndicate for
fabulous sum. The great difficulty has
been operating them and getting the prod
uct to market. The shafts are sorne dis
tance from the railroad, and if they are
opened up again on a larger scale, as is
contem plated, branch road may be run
from the Milton line to Copperopolis.
The San Francisco call., 1896-06-24

this decision was that of Brun against the
board of directors of Societe Francaise
Mutuelle. Brun claimed that the late
election of the board was Illegal and caused
a recount in court, which, however, id
rot affect the result as returned by the
canvassing board of the society. Brun
contended that votes had been accepted
which, by the terms of the bylaws, should
have been rejected for non-payment of
dues after two months. The court held
that, if after two months the society ac-
cepted back dues, it forfeited its right to
exclude, notwithstanding the stipulation
of the bylaws. The decision concluded as
follows:
This custom, so long continued and
well known, would have the effect to
change. or rather destroy, the bylaws,
even if they were couched in language
strong and explicit enough to cause for
feiture without notice or officia: declara-
ton. Such long-co tinued practice oper-
ates as an estoppel against the society.
Findings will be made for the defendants"

Benefit Stockton.

STOCKTON, CAL, June 23.-The Cop.
peropolis mines are to be reopened. They
have been closed for the past three years,
as the price of copper has not been high
enough to admit of their being worked
with profit. The property belongs to the
Ames estate of Boston, and its representa-
tive has now decided to work it again.
The representative is now in Arizona, but,
according to local merchant who is
posted in the matter, will be here next
week on his way to the mines. The name
OF the representative of the Ames estate
the local man would not disclose, but he is
sure that the valuable mines will soon give
