IDAH0'S LEGISLATURE.
LAND CONTEST NOW ON IN THE
SENATE.
Fee Bill One of the Leading Features
An Effort to Make Several New
Counties.
fsnecial to The Herald.O

Boise, Ida, Feb. 3.-The contest be-
tween the American Falls and the
Peoples Canal companies over large
tract of land near Blackfoot was before
the senate today. By a unanimous
vote that body passed a joint resolu-
ton instructing the state land board
to withdraw the entry of $1,000 acres
under the Carey act, which sntry
comes in conflict with the parties COM
prising the Peoples company.
The senate passed the bill reducing
the salaries of all the state officers
and judges.
The bill providing for the sale of
timber on state lands; the bill to pro-
hibit the employment of aliens by cor
porations, and the bill to exempt far
mers' bitches from taxation. were also
passed.
The fee bill. which is one of the
leading subjects before the legislature
at this session, was again under con-
sideration. The disposition of the SEN
ate seemed to be to defeat it. but
proposition was made to utilize an old
classification of counties and empower
the county commissioners in all the
lower classes to increase the fees pro-
vided for. The subject was postponed
two days to give members an op-
portunity to investigate the PROPOSE
ton.
The principal business in the house
was the consideration of the bill to
protect the ranges of the state against
the fiocks Of nonresident owners. The
measure provoked a heated debate in
the committee of the whole 1t was
claimed that the provisions of the bill
were unconstitutional. and some mem
bers sought to have it referred to the
attorney general. They were defeated,
however, and the measure was recon-
mended for passage
The house committee on county and
county lines is holding a meeting to-
night to consider the proposed di-

New York. Feb. S.-A dispatch to the
Sun from Havana says: The battalion
of volunteers commanded by the we'll
known Spanish merchant of Havana,
Don Angel ARGOS, is in a state of revolt
on account of the ill-treatment of it's
soldiers while stationed on the Marier
Majana trocha. The men say they en-
listed to defend the cause of Spain
against the insurgents, but not to
starve on the boundary of the province
of Pinar del Rio. 1t is a fact that the
battalion of Don Angel ARGOS was three
days without food at the trocha. and
malaria and smallpox made sad raw
ages in its ranks.
The most of these volunteers have re-
turned to Havana, deserving their
posts, and are reduced to a terrible
condition by their privations. AS they
are not so ignorant nor vet so well
disciplined as the poor regular soldiers,
victims of the rapacity of the Spanish
military administration, they let their
voices be heard in protest. The money
which ought to have been expended
for their supplies was stolen by their
treasurer in the same way that other
of the regular battalions have been
robbed.
In spite of the fact that some OF
the gamblers have been driven out,
gambling continues in Havana. and the
army officers indulge in it as before.
In a single place. on Monday night. a.
major in the army lost $4,000. and then
ATTEMPTED to commit suicide at the
entrance of the den in which he met
his bad luck. He was prevented from
killing himself by friends, who at
tempted to take him home in car
riage. While on the way at GalliOnO
street. he jumped from the carriage,
returned to the gambling house, and,
revolver in hand, demanded the money
back. A brawI resulted, in which sew
eral persons were hurt. The authori-
ties have attempted to keep the affair
secret to avoid, if possible, further COM
ment upon the immortality of the army.
1t is rumOred here that an Important
engagement has occurred in the
province Of Santa Clara. the particu-
lars of which General Weyler is en-
deavoring to suppress.
The Spainards here express great
satisfaction with the proposal to in
trOduce reforms. Even the most intel
ligent among them assume that after
the PRONUNCIATION Of these reforms not
only will the insurgents in the field
yield to the Law and end the war. but
also the American government, as a
courtesy to Spain. will take stern meas
among the Cubans in the United
authorities for punishment Senior

(special TO The Herald.l


Boise, Ida, Feb. 3.-The supreme
court today sealed the fate OF Sid
Larkins, who is condemned to death
for the killing at Idaho Falls on
Christmas day, 1895, of Josie Hill, a
notorious courtesan, who, with her
slayer, was believed to have been
mixed up in the celebrated Callahan
murder case in Salt Lake.
The supreme court brushes aside all
technicalities and affirms the death
sentence of the lower court.
Larkins is widely known all over the
coast and northeast.
AT the preliminary examination Lar
kins waived a hearing and one OF the
points set up in the appeal was that
his rights were violated by this ac-
ton. This view the court does not
sustain. The defense excepted to the
admission of the evidence given by
Frank Dekay, who testified that about
three hours before the homicide de-
PENDANT said to him, Il would like to
take you with me, but L have a dirty
piece of business to do tonight"
The court holds this was admissible,
as showing the aninus of defendant
towards the deceased, and to show
the character and intent of all the acts
of the defendant in committing the
homicide. The court lays down the
rule that the affidavits respecting the
discovery of new evidence, which
were used in the hearing on the mo-
ton for a new trial. should have been
incorporated in the bill of exceptions,
to properly bring them before the ap-
pellate court.
The opinion states, however, that the
affidavits have been carefully ex-
amined, and that they demonstrate
nothing more than that the defendant
was eccentric and at times absent
On the question of sanity the
opinion says
THE burden of proving the insanity
of the defendant was on the defendant.
He was not required to prove this is
sue beyond a reasonable doubt; but
by a prepCnderance of evidence only.
The trial court in its instructions said
to the jury that if, however there
should be reasonable doubt as to the
prisoners sanity arise upon the evil
dence in the case and upon nothing
else, the jury should give the accused
the benefit of that doubt. This in
was erroneous, but not preju-
dicial, being favorable to the defend
ant. In effect it directed the jury to
acQuit if they entertained a reason
ant was insane. The evidence was
sufficient to support the verdict, and as
no prejudicial error appears in the
record, the order and judgment ap-
pealed from are confirmed"
The opinion is by Justice Quarles
Chief Justice Sullivan and Justice
Huston concurring.

drid correspondent, writing under date
Of Jan. 20. says: The following para
graphs from the Heraldo explain why
Premier Canovas no longer says that
war must be answered by war alone:
1T was a surprise to all that Senior
Canovas should suddenly change his
Cuban policy, just when everybody
realizes that all the talk about pacifi-
cation is merely a delusion. Nobody
believes the situation in Cuba has
improved in the least. Nothing more
has been said of Maxine GomeZ's sur
render; and yet Premier Canovas heart
lily embraces the cause of reform There
surely must be some reason for such
an unexpected change of attitude.

No such spectacle was ever witnessed
in any legislature in the Union as
that which was presented in the Utah
joint assembly yesterday. No man
was ever elected senator amid such
a storm of passion. Upon the floor of
the assembly members boldly charged
that their colleagues were the slaves
of a priesthood; that they were voted
like cattle, first for one candidate and
then for another, all the time con-
trolled by an unseen hand. And these
charges, delivered with dramatic eff
feet. drew forth great shouts of ap-
proVal from the hundreds Of Thatcher
ssyrnpat hizers who crowded the hall.
The members thus accused uttered in
vdignanI and fiery protests against
these charges, which were denounced
and jeered by Thatcher sympathizers
and cheered by anti-Thatcherites
The Mormon church was bitterly as
sailed by Thatcher's followers and de-
Tended by the opposition.
For two hours the assembly was
tossed and swayed by the storm OF ex-

in the announcement Of Rawlins' cleo
