BOISE, Idaho, Aug. Ex-senator DUE
bois was today interviewed on the fus-
ion OF Democrats and PopuIsts.
What do you think of the result of
the action of the late Democratic and
Populist convention?' Senator Dubois
was asked.
THE understanding generally among
silver leaders of all parties Democratic,
Populist and silver Republicans-in the
east is that the best interests of silver
would be subserved by a union of all
silver forces wherever and whenever 1T
was practical" replied the senator.
Such union was made in Minnesota,
Colorado, South Dakota and Washing
ton. Silver Republican representatives.
were here during the late convention
with full power to act, who proposed
such combination. The Democrats
and Populists would not consider the
proposition at all; they were determined
to make a combination which would
exclude any recognition of silver Re
publicans. [ think it unfortunate for
the cause of silver that a fight is now
precipitated which will be bitter be-
tween the silver forces in the state
what effect will this have on the
electoral ticket?"
"None at all. The silver Republicans
will nominate the electors selected by
the fusion, thus insuring Bryan and
sewan the practically unanimous vote
of the state
.eWhat will the silver Republicans do
in regard to a state ticket?'
"They will nominate a full ticket
and such a one, in my judgment, as will
command the complete respect and con-
fdence of the people of the state
"Win such a ticket VIM"
'It is too early to predict. 1t is very
evident that the fusion ticket does not
meet with approval. The silver Re-
publicans believe their cause to be
just, and they think, in addition, that
they have pursued a perfectly con-
sistent course, and one that the peo-
pie will indorse at the polls"
'eThey admit, and have always in
sisted that the Republican supporters
of Mckinley had a perfect right to
express their convictions by voting for
Mckinley and Hobart electors, and
that they would do nothing to prevent
them from exercising this right. They

URGED A UNION
of silver forces in order to give Bryan
and sewall the largest vote possible,
and to demonstrate to the country that
loyalty to the cause of silver was the
prime motive which controlled the
people of idaho. A union of forces was
refused, but the silver Republicans
will continue their fight for silver with
the same consistency with which they
have conducted it thus far, not being
disturbed in the slightest degree by
selfishness and lack of patriotism and
devotion to the cause of other organi-
cations.
'.If a union of silver forces had been
consummated we could have raised
considerable money in the state, and
sent our best speakers of all parties

lost his equanimity and then followed
a bitter colloquy, in which church de-
corum and priestly dignity were en-
tirely forgotten. and in which the two
gentlemen exchanged personalities in
a manner that would put TO shame a
wrangle between curbstone politicians.
Back and forth the fiery words flew
while the angry churchmen grew red
in the face, and charged one another
with all sorts of personal improprie-
ties and things much worse.
THE CONSTABLE INTERPRETERS.
The wordy battle continued some
minutes and began to look as though
a fistic conflict was imminent, when
Constable Ben Harris took a hand He
informed the combatants that in the
name of the law he would be compelled
to arrest them both unless they ceased
and preserved the peace. Constable
Harris stern attitude quelled the spir-

tanned Mr.. briggs as bishop of Sugar
House ward and James Jensen as
bishop of Forest Dale.
At the close of the meeting Elder
Cannon apologized to the brethren for
having LOST his temper, and for the
part he played in the disgraceful scene.
After the conference was over many
of the people who had been present,
assembled in knots and groups and
held impromptu Indignation meetings,
al which the conduct OF the church
officials IN refusing any kind of a hear

vigorously denounced.

SAD FATE OF A SCIENTIST,
DR.. Alfred Kennedy Burned to
Death During a Fire in
His Rooms.
He Was the Founder and Vice.Presi-
dent of the Pennsylvania
Agricultural Society.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Jan. 30.-Dr.
Alfred L. Kennedy, man of considerable
scientific attainments as a metallurgIs Ist
and geologist, was burned to death during
a fire which occurred this evening in his
rooms in an office building on Third street,
above Walnut.
The origin of the fire is unknown, but as
the rooms were Uttered with papers and
manuscript, and as Or. Kennedy was
nearly 80 years of age, it is supposed that
in lighting the gas he set fire to some of
the paper and was overcome by the smoke
and was unable to make his escape.
When the fir emen succeeded in entering
the room the body of DR.. Kenned y was
found charred beyond recognition. The
loss by the fire only amounted to about
$1,000.
DR.. Kennedy was graduate of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania and in 1853 estab-
lished the Polytechnic College of Phila-
delphia and was its president until the
college went out OF existence about year
ago. DR.. Kennedy was also the founder,
ice-president and geologist of the State
Agricultural Society and one of the found
ers of the Pennsylvania branch of the
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals.

Arm enian and Cuban Resolutions Are
Irregular in Form.

Arn, enian and Cuban Resolutions Are
Irregular i1s Form.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 30.-With
regard to the so-called concurrent resoIu-
ton" as to Armenian affairs, which makes
request on the President to bring the
opinion of Congress to the attention OF the
signatory powers to the Berlin treaty.
nice constitutional question was raised in
the House of Representatives during its
discussion, and is again raised in official
circles as to whether this concurrent
resolution" is net in fact ''joint resolu-
ton" within the meaning of article I, sec
ton 3, of the constitution of the United
States. If this be So it of course follows
that however misnamed concurrent" or
otherwise, the resolution falls within the
provisions of the third clause of the Sec
tlon referred to-, which requires that
''every order, resolution or vote to which
the concurrence of the Senate or House
OF Representatives may be necessary Tex
cept on question of adjournment) shall
be presented to the President of the United
States, and before the same shall be ap-
proved by him, or being disapproved by
him shall be repassed by two-thlrds of the
Senate and House of Representatives ac-
cording to the rules and limitations pre-
scribed in the case of BILL"
II Is held by parliamentarians that bill
enacted enters permanently into the stat
utes; that a joint resolution deals with
matters of temporary existence, while a
concurrent resolution relates to an affair
exclusively connected with Congress, as,
for example, The adjournment of both
houses for q longer period than three dave
or an order for the payment of small con-
tingent expenses, with no contemplation
OF bringing in executive interference. A
sharp line is thus drawn between affairs
relating solely to executive matters and
those involving executive action.
Under the circumstances it is vigorously
contended that the Armenian resolution
is really a joint resolution, though called
a concurrent one, and that if not signed or
vetoed by the President it will become a
Inv by limitation and will go upon the
statutes at the end of ten days in default
of executive action upon it. This position
is very strongly neld by officials of lonS
experience. They state that the mere in
scribing of the resolution upon the blank
forms used by Congress for concurrent
action cannot change the nature of the
subiect-matter, and the suggestion is made
that the President may take this view and
call the attention of Congress to the irreg-
ular form in which the matter is presented
for his official action. 1t may be added
that the same question as to the propriety
of form applies also to the Cuban resolu-
tions reported to-day by the Senate Com
mittee on Foreign Relations.

GREAT SLAUGHTER AT zEIT0UR.
Terrible Treatment Inflicted Upon Luck
less Prisoners Taken BY FIend-

LONDON, ENG, Jan. 30-The Constan-
tinople correspondent of The United
Press, telegraphing under date of January
%, says that letters have been received
from Marash confirming the stories that
great slaughter occurred in the recent
battle between the Turkish troops and the
Armenians who had captured and held the
town of Zeitoun.
The exact number of the dead is not
known, but it can be stated with certainty
that it was very large. Twelve hundred
wounded men have already reached
Marash, and many more are following
them to that place. Many of the wounded
have died, either in Marash or along the
road from Zeitoun.
A number of prisoners have been taken
to Marash. Their treatment was some
thing awful All sorts of indignities were
heaped upon them, and in a large mum Der
of cases they were so shockingly i'll treated
that it is impossible to publish details.
The Governor of Marash has again tried
to bring about a reconciliation between
the Turks and the Armenians in Zeitoun,
but his efforts have been in vain.
Most Of the prominent Arm enians in the
