NEW TOWNSHIP LAND BILL
Towns ON Private Land May Take In
Government Land.

Washington, May l0.-It is quite likely
that before this session closes congress
viii take up and pass the bill introduced
by Representative Lacey. amending the
land laws relative to town sites. 1t rs
proposed by him to substitute the follow
ing for section OF the act of March J.
1877:
Section L. That 1t shall be lawful
for any town to make entry or entries
of such tracts of public lands contiguous
thereto as will. when added to the tracts
OF land then occupied by such town. not
exceed $3.50 acres. provided. that the lands
so entered shall not. together with the
tracts then occupied by such town. be In
excess of the area to which such town
would then be entitled by virtue OF It's
population. as prescribed in section SSSs
of the revised statutes
This bill has received the sanction OF
the public lands committee of the house
and is now on the calendar. Under the
existing statutes. 1t has been held by the
department of the interior that town
site. when originally located upon public
land, may be extended to include add
ton lands of the public domain under
the townsite laws. But where the town
is plated upon private land adjoining
public lands the adjoining land can not
ha entered for townsite purposes under
the statutes in their present form. The
committee was of the opinion that th'
right to enter additional lands for town
site purposes should be so extended tha
towns laid out upon private lands shoulc
also be included In the statutes. Mr.
Laceys bill will accomplish that pur
pose. and the same was prepared in con
ference with the officials of the genera
land office.

4 GREAT VICTORY FOR DUBOIS
supported by All Except Three or
Four Counties in the state.

Boise, Idaho. May l0.-All the republican
county conventions but one have been held
and many have been heard from The re-
suit is almost a 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 a 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; FIRE.
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.
bois and for Mckinley.

INTERPRETATION OF TREATIES
Spain Admits That Americans Have
the Right to n Cival Trial.


London. May l0.-The Madrid corre-
spondent of the Standard says:
Senior Canovas del Castillo has publicly
stated that America has not protest. ed
against Spain's right to punish filibuster-
ers, but only against the summary trial.
American citizens are entitled to be tried
in the civil courts under the treaties of
1895 and 1877. The Spanish government Is
willing to consider the demand and has
cabled to Captain General Weyler to de-
lay the execution pending the result of
negotiations which are actively proceed
ing between Washington and Madrid to
define the Interpretation of the aforesaid
treaties.
Senior Castillo made a long speech at
meeting of the conservative senators and
deputies on Saturday evening, in which
he declared this was a national question
which must some day be settled with the
assistance of all parties.
The Apoca. the government organ, in
guarded language, recommends prudence
and deprecates demonstrations. 1t clearly
intimates that the government will make
another effort to conoiliate President
Cleveland by ordering General Weyler to
send all the papers bearing upon the case
here for the supreme court to pronounce
upon. The execution of the sentences
would thus virtually be shelved.
The rest of the Madrid press are unan-
imous in the opinion that America has ia
ken an ungenerous and unjustifiable adj
vantage of Spain's difficulties.

4 PIONEER OF THE NORTHWEST
DIR. William II. McNRy's Widow
Seeks "a Special Pension.

Washington, u. c., May 10.-Few of
those entitled to call themselves pioneers
of the Pacific northwest. now comprised
in the three great states of Washington,
Oregon and Idaho, were unacquainted
with the late Dr. William c. Mckay Of
Pendleton, Or, whose widow is now seek
ing special pension from the United
States government of 800 a month. DIR.
Mckay was one of the earlier heroes of
the Pacific northwest and did probably
more than any other one man to save
the settlers from the savages during their
outbreaks. He served with United States
troops in various capacities, and while
never regularly enlisted, at one time drew
the pay and allowances of a second lieu
tenant of cavalry. The Oregon leglsla-
ture memorlalized congress to pass this
bill, and Senator Shoup, volcing the sentl-
ment of the senate committee on PEN
sions. has made q strong report IN its
favor.

SPAIN is BETWEEN TWO FIRES
London News Says the Spanish Ought
to Distrust Their own FerOcity.

London, May 10.-The Daily News will
say in an editorial tomorrow regarding
the cases of the Competitor captives in
Havana:
The serious news from Cuba places the
Spanish government between two fires. II
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 its own life.
Public opinion In Madrid is hardly well
Informed enough to profit by the Virgin
lus case in 1873 The Spanish ought to
dIstrust their own natural ferocty IN
cases of this sort. The butchery of the
men of the Virglnius, which many of
them applauded at the time as a fine and
spirited act, was received with horror and
execration throughout the world.
