ALLOWED THEM TO BECOME LAWS.
Four Bills Which the Governor of
Idaho Failed to Sign.

Boise, Idaho, March 19-The four bills
left in the governors hands became laws
today without his signature by virtue
of the expiration of the 10 day period
They are:
House bill 221. to remit penalties on de-
linquent taxes for 1896 Delnquents have
to July to pay up. They will be re-
quired to pay interest at the rate of II
PER cent per annum. 1t was the original
intention of the governor to veto this
measure, but he RETAINED for two reas-
ons. One was that there are special con-
Gluons in Blaine county making 1t seem
desirable to afford the farmers some re
let II possible; the other that the senti-
ment in the legislature was overwhelm-
ingly in favor of the measure
another of the bills is house bill 2l9
when corrects verbal defect In the
Daily irrigation district law.
sun another is house bill al. which is
a substitute for the Daily law.
The fourth bill to become a law without
executive approval was house bill No.
zSi, establishing a state board of arbi-
tration. The governor states that there
are some good features in the bill and
some that he does not approve. The
measure Is loosely drawn and he does
not see how 1t can be made operative. He
Is Wiling, however, to permit It to be-
come a law so that the people may have
an opportunity to give a trial to the
scheme of arbitration. The bill provides
Tor board of three members to he an
pointed by the governor. One is to be an
employer, one member of some labor
organization and the third to be desig-
hateu by the other two The idea of the
Jaw Is TO exert a moral influence through
conclusions reached by the board

HAWAII AND JAPAN MAY CLASH.
l.. A. Thurston Believes the Orient
Wants TO Control the Islands.

Washington. March 19.--L. A Thurston,
ex-minister of Hawaii to this country
now president Of the Annexation Club Of
Honolulu. and here in the interests Of
that organization. gave out an inter-
view today regarding the news from san
Francisco that the Hawaiian government
IN refusing to allow 700 Japanese laborers
to land in Honolulu believed it had I'M
earthed an attempt to import japanese
into Hawaii in violation of the immisra-
ton laws. He characterized the subject
as one Of the gravest now confronting the
Hawaiian government. He said:
-Four or five immigration companies
have been formed in Japan, headed by
leading officials, including the present
Japanese minister at Washington, ana
they have for the past year been bringing
in large numbers of free Japanese immi-
grants to Hawaii. There are five lines of
steamers between Honolulu and Japan,
making monthly trips, and every steamer
brings from $50 to $50 Japanese, thus turn
cd loose on the community without any
knowledge of governmental check. 1t is a
question whether this inpouring of men.
almost unaccompanied by women, will not
soon create a large class of men unem-
ployed and without means. The Hawaiian
government adopted measures to meet
such contingencies, but they have been
evaded. IIabeas corpus proceedings were
ltS VII Wiltn Il lOl OIL men were uGIltu idhh7
ing recently, but in the absence of proof
Of charges that the money borne by the
men did not actually belong to them the
landing was allowed. The money pro-
duced by the immigrants is provided by
some third party, which the immigration
companies charge against competitors,
but deny as to their own concern. 1 do
not know that the Japanese government
does mediate any hostile or forcible ac-
ton against Hawaii, but unless something
Is done to stop this influx of Japanese,
they viii by peaceful invasion accomplish
far more than they could hope to do by
forcible measures.
THE japanese in Hawaii number $4,000
against $1,000 native Hawaiians, and at
the present rate will in five years form a
majority of the Inhabitants of the Coun-
try. Thus the japanese would accom-
plish the same moral right that Uitland-
ers are claiming in South Africa. 1t is
the belief in Hawaii that the present ex-
traordinary movement from Japan to lIa-
wall Is part Of a systematic plan, with the
approval OF the Japanese government, to
set control of the islands. Undoubtedly
the Hawaiian government is waiting to
see the action the United States will take
on the annexation question. If that ques-
ton is not acted on soon, a grave issue
win soon arise between Hawaii and ia
pan, the outcome of which no one can un-
dertalSe to foretell."

cult. 1t is reported that the admirals pur-
posely refrain from interfering with YES
sells which have recently landed provls-
ions in Crete. one having discharged the
cargo at Allretira almost under the eyes
of the admirals. The necessity OF remov-
ing the Turkish troops from the island
becomes more and more imperative. Alb
solutely nothing else will convince the
Cretans OF Europes sincerity. 1t may be
regarded as certain that they will even
prevent the departure of the Greek army
by force until the Turks have gone.
There is no time to be lost. 1t is impos-
sible that Greece and Turkey could long
support the armies they have modified.
They will favor provoking a struggle 10
seeing the troops starve.
Foreign warships have already arrived
at Crete, and the sultan should be in

DISTRIBUTION OF PATRONAGE.
Postmaster General Gary Announces
the Method for His Term.

Washington, March 20.-Postmaster
General Gary will continue the old pol
Icy as to distributing the patronage of
the postofiices, and he announces to the
Associated Press today that he would
not deviate from the practice followed
by past administrations. This, as a gem
eral rule, gives to every senator the priv
ilege of recommending a postmaster for
his home postofiice, and allots to each
republican senator the largest postofices

PREDICT A wALKovER FOR GREECE
Observers in ThensaIy Weigh the
Fighting Qualities OF Turks.

New York, March 2O-A copyrighted
dispatch TO the Press from Larissa,
Thessaly, says a careful examination OF
the Turkish army justlfes the state
ment that the men are dirty. ragged and
Ill fed, and are demoralized by the spirit
OF discomfort as such conditions invari-
ably create. Contrary to general belief
they are inferior to the Greeks in num-
Der. The one thing which has sustained
the Moslems Is that the emperor of Ger
many has contributed to them plenty of
ammunition. This assistance buoys them
up somewhat, as 1t presupposes aid in
other directions should an actual crisis
present itself. The masses in Macedonia
are DESTROYS of Greclan rule and are
ready to rise whenever the signal Is Civ
en-. The Greeks have quietly armed TO-.
600 Macedonians. who have returned to
the Turkish territory.
While the Macedonians are eager to
strike the blow. the Turkish troops on
the way to the front are much dissatis-
fed. The religious mania of other years
did not possess them.
Under the present conditions a battle
would be sure walkover for the Greeks
They are superior in numbers to the
Turks, better drilled and better fed, and
besides have the inspiration of patriotism
out OF which heroes are made.

CREEKS PREPARING TO REVOLT
Inhabitants of the Archipelago Ripe
for Struggle.

London, March Ala dispatch from
Constantnople to the Daily Mail says
the Greeks in all the Islands of the arch
ipelago are arming, drilling and preparing
to revolt as soon as war is declared.
The correspondent, of the Daily Mail at
Berlin says the Berlin Post publishes a
telegram to the effect that two Greek
leutenants have been arrested in the
Turkish camp at Flassona and condemn
ed to be shot as spies.
Opened Fire on Turks.
Athens, March H.-Some of the Greek
sharp shooters at Pramada opened fire
on the Turks today and 1t was only by
the most urgent efforts of the Greek Of
ficers that conflict was averted. The
Greek military preparations ON the from
tier continue with ceaseless activity. AT
Kopraine the officials seized a thousand
sacks Of flour destined for the Turkish
troops at Sangora.
Situation In Crete.
Canea, March 2.-The situation today
may be described as one of expectancy
This morning the fact that the blockade
had formally begun was generally com
municated from Canea to all points on
the island.
Three Turkish soldiers caught In the
act OF pillage Saturday night at Halepa
fired on the gen d'armes, who returned
the fire, killing one Of them.
Some doubt Is now expressed by the
officials here as to whether Colonel Vas
sos. commander of the Greek forces in
Crete. will be able to hold out long owing
to the scarcity of provisions. 1t Is also
denied by the officials that there is fric-
tion between the admirals and the con-
suls.
Ashamed of Salisbury.
New York. March H.-A copyrighted
to the World from London SAYS:
The first reverberation of the English
gun fired against Greece, and 1t Is likely
1t will come. would in all probability top
pie over the Salisbury ministry like a
house of cards All England is heartily
OF the governments attitude to-
ward Crete. This is becoming more OBJ
vious daily. In spite of Lord Salisbury's

FREE HOMESTEAD BILL FAVORED
Reported by the Senate Commftte
on Indian Affairs.

Washington, March 19-The senate COM
mittee on Indian affairs, after some op-
position on the part of Senator Plat Of
Connecticut. ordered the free homestead
bill to be favorably reported The bill
is practically the same measure which
passed before the extra session and which
failed in the house because of amend
ments made in the senate The bill as
it passed the house applied only to Okla
homa, but the senate amendments made
1t of general application.
The refusal of the house to consider
the bill as amended caused some feeling
on the part of its friends, which may find
expression in the senate when the tariff
bill is taken up in that body. The pur-
pose of the bill Is to permit the acqui-
sition of free homes under the home
stead law on lands ceded by Indians Just
as on other parts of the public domain.
Senator Platt opposed the bill on the
ground that it will cost the national gov
eminent several million dollars.
The committee also considered favora-
bly, the bill providing for the taxation Of
land awarded to Indians in severalty.
