Letters From The People.

MR.. EDITORIALS it is probable that
shall ask of the people of the coun
ty, aud Of the democratic party, a
denomination as candidate for the
Legislature which will meet the com
ing winter in Richmond, take pleas
ure in stating for the information of
the general public, and for any indi-
vidual concerned. my views as to
certain questions now being dis
cussed to some extent in your col
umns.
AS to my preference for United
States Senator-a question upon
which the coming Legislature will
have to vote-you may be assured
that l ain first, last, and all the time
for that peerless man, orator, states
man, and champion of the people,
John Warwick Daniel.
Now as to the recent law regarding
misdemeanor cases and Jurisdiction
of magistrates, 1 will say, that while
| voted for the law, believing at the
time-as many able and patriotic
men in the Assembly believed-that
it would result in a great saving in
money to the State, without cor
responding increase of crime or law
lessness, yet from lack of authorita-
tive and official statements as to the
effect of the law upon the finances of
our State and lawlessness and crime
among the people, it is impossible, at
this writing for Inc to express any
intelligent or positive views as to
whether The law is good or bad in its
operation At this time | am only
prepared to say, that if upon investi-
CATION, ! find that the law has result
ed in any considerable saving of the
public money, and without any ap-
preciable increase CT crime, or other
detriment to the public good or in
terests, l shall be in favor of sustain
ing the law. Upon the other hand,
if l find that there is no material
saving in money to the Common
wealth resulting therefrom, and that
the law has the effect of shielding
criminals and increasing crime or
exercises other baleful influences
upon the we'll being of our people,
without compensating advantages,
then shall vote for its repeal entire,
or it's amendment-so that the OBJ
iectionable features shall be elm
mated. Yours respectfully,
S. WILKINS MATTHEWS.

New York. Feb. 15.-The Greek popula-
ton of this city were intensely interested
aid excited today over the news of the
firing on the Turkish flag. and the evil
dent intention of King George to defy
the powers and place the island of Crete
under the protection of Greece.
John j. Vlasto. editor of the Atalantis.
TIE only Greek newspaper published in
TIE United States. said to a representa-
tive of the United Associated Presses to-
day:
1T is not a sudden uprising. King
George. impelled by popular sentiment,
vas forced forward to save his throne.
mat IS the DeSSimiStic view. The other
and the more reasonable hypothesis is
that the king has received a friendly in
t.mation from one of the powers to go
ahead, that this was the opportunity TO
take what really belongs TO Greece and
which, because of its race, language and
religion. demands her protection. Depend
ing upon this, and backed by the splendid
patriotism of a brave people, the first
gun has been fired.
In my opinion the Cretan massacre of
May last was the final limit to an further
patience with the barbaric oppression of
Turkey"
Mr. Vlasto predicted a war with Turkey
the world was ready to help With re-
gard to the possibilities of retaliation on
the Greeks in Turkey. Mr.. Vlasto said
such retaliation would be a disastrous
blu=der on the part of the Turks. He
declared that there were 100000 Greeks in
Constantinople and every one of them
was armed and ready.

San Francisco, Feb. 15.-After two
months of pursuit of a murderer and
of silence maintained regarding the
history of a remarkable crime. the
Mexican authorities have arrived at
the conclusion that a once apparently
wealthy and influential American resi-
dent of Mazatlan, the suspected per-
petrator of an awful crime, has been
located in San Francisco and is at
present living under an assumed name
With this information is given the
particulars of the killing of Mrs. F.
Hermanns by her husband in a villa
on the outskirts of Mazatlan, the story
of which crime has never before been
made public by the, Mexican authori-
ties.
1t is supposed that Hermanns and his
wife are identical with a young couple
by that name who left Portland. Ore,
for San Francisco and later for Ma
zatlan some years ago. Mrs. Hermanns
is thought to have been a Miss Maui
dern, a California girl, who became
stage-struck and sought to win fame
on the local stage. She proceeded to
Portland, Ore, where she married
William Hermanns of MaZatlan, for
merly of the United States, who
of wealthy parents.
The Hermanns went to Mazatlan,
and for several months kept open
house, entertaining Mexican as well
as American friends.
On a sudden the couple ceased to in
vite people to their home, Hermanns
was seldom seen in town and finally
he disappeared altogether. Friends of
the couple visited the HermannS casa
and found all doors and windows fast
ened, and no signs of any one living
on the premises.
A number of Mexican officers were
summoned and broke in the front door.
On the floor of the bedroom were the
remains of Mrs. Hermanns in an adj
vanced state of decomposition. An
analysis of the stomach showed that
death was due to poisoning. Efforts
were made to locate the husband, all
of which failed, and it is supposed he
boarded a steamer for New York or
San Francisco. How the Mexican
authorities got information that the
supposed murderer headed for San
Francisco is not explained.

New York. Feb. ia Sun special
from Washington says:
There are many evidences that ex-
Queen Lilioukalani regards herself, in
a sense, as a ward of the president OF
the United States, and that she expects
him to make some recommendation
that will bring her recompense for the
act of Representatives of the United
States in ousting her from the
Hawaiian throne. Every step that she
has taken since coming to Washington
has been Influenced by the considera-
ton of what effect it would have upon
her standing as a claim against the
United States. No step is taken, more
over. without first giving formal notice
upon President Cleveland. This has
been the policy of the ex-queen since
first she set foot upon the soil OF the
nations capital, and she evidently
means to leave no stone unturned I'M
til she has forced from President Cleve-
land some recognition that will give
her status as claimant before the
incoming administration.
No act in the line of this persistent
policy has been more deliberate than
that of Saturday when the eX-queen re-
ceived information that there is plot
on foot to assassinate her. Within ten
minutes the information was lodged
with Private Secretary Thurber, to-
gether with the information that the
queen is about to leave the Shoreham
hotel, where she has stopped in Wash
ington, to make her headquarters Tor a
protracted stay at a somewhat more
retired hotel
Since Friday morning, the number of
her callers has increased to such an
extent that she will probably be obliged
to hold a daily drawing ROOM Now
that she claims to be as much queen
as ever, there is great anxiety to see
her. and some of Washington's most
fashionable people call almost hourly.
Yesterday another letter from Homo
lulu, written in the Hawaiian language.
came to Lilioukalani. warning her that
her life is in danger. 1t was written
by warm friend of the ex-queen and
the language used was similar to that
employed in the two letters received
Saturday Captain Palmer said she
appeared calm and serene while read
ing the letter and showed no signs of
nervousness or excitement.
do you credit such advices relative
to the plot to assassinate the queen?'
was asked of Mr.. Palmer.
'Emphatically. 1 do. ! have known
for some time that annexationists in
Hawaii would stoop to anything to ac-
out of their way, they would stand a
better chance of accomplishing their
purpose"
DO you apprehend danger immedi-
ately?"
My advices are that the scoundrels
are now in this country, having ar
rived in San Francisco last week"

Suffering From rlild Attack of
Influenza.
IS CONFINED TO HIS BED
MUST NOT TALK POLITICS FOR
SEVERAL DAYS.
Cabinet Talk Brought to an Abrupt
Conclusion on Account of Nc
Kinley's Illness, But Silent Work
Is Being Done by the Friends of
Several Ambitious Applicants.

Canton, O., Feb. 15.-Major McKin-
numerous politicians who were on hand
early this morning. He is suffering
with a mild attack of influenza, and
was confined to his bed until this even
ing, when the physician permitted him
to sit UP for a time. DR.. Phillips,
the attending physician. says Mr.. Nc
Kinley will be unable to receive any
one for several days and must be per-
mitted to reserve his strength for the
Inaugural ceremonies. He furnished
the United Associated Presses with the
following:
Major Mckinley is not seriously i'll,
but is suffering with mild attack of
influenza. His pulse and temperature
are now normal. He must not receive
callers during the present week, and
cannot make the anticipated trip to
Cleveland until Thursday or Friday
He should be allowed to rest from now
until the tipe of his departure to
Washington.
The callers who were unable to see
Mr.. Mckinley, with few exceptions,
were only prominent in local politics.
OF course, cabinet talk is brought to
an abrupt termination by Mr.. Mckin-
ley's slight illness. A great deal Of
lnuueQCe Is DeinS Drought 10 Dear upon
Major Mckinley to select General
Stewart L. Woodford for one of the
vacant cabinet positions. EX-Mayor
Charles A. Schieren of Brooklyn was
in the city today to speak a few words
for his friend, General Woodford, but
was unable TO see the preSident-elect.
Mr.. Harold A. Logan, a New York
newspaper man, is awaiting confer
ence with Major Mckinley. He is here
in the interests of the commissioner
of correction, Robert ]. Wright who
is an open and avowed candidate for
collector of the port ~ New York. Mr..
Logan will present a petition signed by
a large number of the leading news
paper men of Gotham. urging MIR.
Wrights appointment He says his
candidate is antagonistic to neither
faction of the party, is universally pop
ular and very capable. His leading
competitor is Mr. Bidwell, who is said
to be endorsed by Mr.. Plat.
Colonel w. w. Dudley of Washing
ton, a member of the inaugural COM
mittee. wishes to talk over the prep
arations for the ceremony. He is de-
sirous of learning if the president
elect wishes a reception to be rendered
him upon his arrival in Washington by
the military order of the Union Veter>
ans Legion. of which Mr.. Mckinley is
a member He will remain in the city
until the major is able to receive him.

The Turk Is Arraigned.

New York, Feb. 15.-Joseph Iasigi.
Turkish consul-general in Boston. who
was arrested in this city last Saturday
evening on the charge of embezzle-
ment, was arraigned before Magistrate
Cornell, in the Center street police
court this afternoon. The prosecution
was represented by General Francis
Peabody of Boston and Lawyer Freder-
lex r. Coudert appeared for Iasigi.
Lawyer Coudert said that his client
is an accredited agent of foreign
power and is consul-general at Boston.
and that he is exempt from arrest by
state authorities.
Mr. Peabody claimed that a consul
is nothing but business agent to a
country. and that he is not exempt
from arrest.
Magistrate Cornell adjourned the case
until tomorrow morning in order to
study I'D and advise over the situa-
ton.
The consul was then paroled
in the custody of his counsel until to-
morrow.

BUNTING & co. ASSIGN
Big BlackfOot Firm Is Pushed to
the Wall.
fsnecial to The Herald1


Boise, Ida, Feb. ia sensation was
information that a receiver had been
appointed for the banking house and
mercantile establishment of c. Bunt-
ing e. Co. at Blackfoot The liabilities
are from s150,000 to 5000. 0O0
Interest in the matter is increased by
the fact that Mr. Bunting was state
treasurer during the last administra-
ton, holding considerable deposit of
state funds in his bank. This money
has been kept by his successor, George
H. Storer. who is closely associa ted
with Mr.. Bunting, in the latter's bank
Mr. Bunting is also surety on Treas
urer Storer's bond. AT the time of the
transfer of the office Bupt ting turned
over his check on his own bank to the
new treasurer for 1000. This was
sent back by Storer and redeposited.
AS TO the status of the states ac-
count at this time, statements vary
widely. The deputy state treasurer
states that $4,000 has been deposited
since Storer came into Office, and thar
the same has been checked out He
also says the office has been advised
of the shipment of $21. 600 of called state
warrants to the credit of c. Bunting
& Co. THESE, he says, will stand as an
offset to the s32, 900 deposit.
Information respecting the details of
the failure are yet lacking. Mr.. Blunt
ing is the leading business man of
southeastern Idaho, having large in
terests throughout that section. He is
the president and principal stockholder
of the First National Bank of Poca-
tello.
Treasurer Storer left this afternoon
for Blackfoot. Governor Steunenbere
has been summoned from his home,
and is making an investigation. There
is much uneasiness among state Of
ficialS.

Here,s Another Story.

Washington. Feb. 15.-Ex-Queen Lii
iuokalani of Hawaii and her suite. who
have been occupying apartments at the
Shoreham hotel, are removing today
to the Cairo, one of the handsome
apartment houses in the northwestern
portion of the city. There have been
rumnrs of threats of assassination of
the eX-queen, but the removal has no
connection with these stories. The oc-
casion for the change is that all the
available rooms at the Shoreham have
been engaged in advance from the Goth
inst, on account of the coming in
auguration of Major Mckinley as pres
ident, and it was, therefore, necessary
that new quarters be secured.
Mr.. Palmer, the chamberlain or sec
rotary of Mrs. Dominis. called at the
White house on Saturday, where he
saw Mr.. Thurber and informed him of
the contemplated removal to the Cairo
but did not ask for protection for the
ex-Queen.

IDAH0'S SHEEP.
ONE OF THE THEMES IN THE
HOUSE YESTERDAY.
Fight Over the Bill to Prohibit
Gambling-Proposed Reapportion-
ment-The Medical Bill-Lorin
Farr of Ogden Present.

Boise, Ida, Feb. Is. in the house
today there was very lively contest
over the proposed sheep legislation. All
bills referring TO the subject had been
referred to the live stock committee.
with instructions to report a substitute
This came in this morning, and il was
found that it was a copy of a measure
alleged to have been prepared by the
sheepmen themselves, embodying very
few of the provisions that the anti
sheep members desire. The bill raised
a storm. After a long and acrimonious
debate, it was referred to the commit
tee of the whole with bill No. SO, which
is the faVOrite measure of those deSir-
ing restrictive legislation.
Another interesting feature of the
proceedings in the house was a fight
over the bill to prohibit gambling. I'm
der the present laws nearly all gam
bling games are licensed. This meas
ure proposes to make them all unlaw-
full. An effort was made to have it
indefinitely postponed, but the motion
secured only Il votes.
The senate did not accomplish much,
beyond recommending in committee of
the whole the passage of the bill max
ing the payment of poll tax by men
qualification for voting. There were
only four votes against it. During the
debate on the measure some members
expressed the fear that it would re-
Quire a poll tax for the women, but il
was finally agreed that the language
of the measure did not apply the pro-
posed qualifications TO any but those
who are subject to the tax under exist
ing laws.
The proposed reappointment was
taken up and seemed to meet with gem
eral approval. but at the request of
some members il was laid over until
tomorrow, so they might make fur
Their examinations. 1t cuts the numbeS
of representatives down to 2S, leaving
the senate q, as al present.
The medical bill. over which there
has been such a determined contest in
committee, came up in committee of
the whole. and six sections of the long
measure were adopted. 1t was in d
hopeless minority, but was able to de-
lay progress. AT every step motions
for the committee to rise were made,
and these were interspersed with
speeches against particular sections
and against the bill in general
At the opening of the session of the
senate this morning, Senator Rich
asked unanimous consent, which was
granted, for Hon. Lorin Farr of Ogden
to occupy a seat within the bar. In
making this request. Mr.. Rich briefly
recited some of the points of the rec
ord of this pioneer. stating that he be-
lieved that too many courtesies could
not be extended to those who had
done so much to make Chis western
country land of happy homes. The
venerable gentleman rose and bowed
his acknowledgements
