NEW RUMPUS IN IDAHO.
Difficulty In Landing Prisoners In
the Pen.
Especial to The Herald.

Boise, Ida, Dec 14-Warden Van
Dorm has wired the attorney general
from Rathdrum to the effect that Sher-
if Pease refuses either to turn over the
two prisoners or to come to Boise with
the warden and prisoners. The attor-
ney general instructed him to come
back without the convicts. 1t is man
ifestly the purpose of the northern
sheriff to force the warden to bring
action up there to secure possession of
the prisoners, and the attorney general
is determined not TO be placed in this
position.
Since the Sheriff claims the new law
invalid, he will have an opportunity
to bring the prisoners to Boise under
the old law, upon which he relies. He
viii then file his claim for fees with
the state board, which may be so de-
layed that action to test the consti-
tutionality of the act may be impossi-
bic until new state administration is
installed. The attorney general feels
confident the supreme court would
knock the law out under its recent de-
cisions, and the state officers see a
big deficit in case prisoners are con-
veyed by the sheriffs

HooTALINQUA COUNTRY.
News Confirmed of Rich Strikes On
the River.

Seattle, Wash, Dec. 14.-Passengers
of the steamer AL XII, which arrived here
today from Skaguay. Alaska, report
that Collector of Customs Godson, who
is stationed at Lake Tagish, came into
Skaguay on Dec. Z, bringing confirma-
tory news of rich strikes on the Hoot
alinqua river, and that many prospect
ors at Lake Marsh and other places
on the road to Dawson had gone into
the HootalinQua country.
According to a new ruling of Deputy
United States Collector of Customs
Gloyd, at Skaguay, goods purchased in
Canada and brought to Skaguay must
either pay duty or Sc per day to a
customs official while the goods are in
transit to the international boundary
line. Collector Gloyd has already col
lected duties on five outfits from Brit
ish Columbia, the owners preferring to
pay duty rather than pay a customs
official TO travel with them to the line.
Owing to the dispute over the location
of the boundary line it is feared that
considerable ill-feeling will be engen-
dered by Collector Gloyds interpreta-
ton of the customs laws.

Washington Dec. 1.-THE caucus Of
Democratic members of the house of
representatives tonight resulted in the
adoption of resolutions defining the
party policy on the questions of Cuba,
finance and bankruptcy.
The caucus was largely attended, 101
of the 125 Democratic members being
present, despite the stormy weather.
Representative Richardson, of Ten
nessee. acted as chairman and Repre-
sentative Cummings of New York. and
Representative COwherd, of Missouri,
acted as secretaries.
Representative Bailey took the intia-
tive by presenting the following series
of resolutions:
POLICY OF RESISTANCE.
Resolved, That it is the sense of this
caucus that the Democratic members of
the house of representatives ought to
resist all efforts direct or indirect, to
retire the greenbacks and treasury
notes.
Resolved, Second. That we are OPP
posed and will resist all attempts to
extend the privileges of national banks
or to reduce the taxes which they pay
now.
FAVOR CUBA.
Resolved, Third, That we favor the
early consideration and passage of the
senate resolution recognizing that a
condition of war exists in the islands of
Cuba. between the government of
Spain and the Cuban people.
Resolved, Fourth, That we favor the
early enactment of a just and wise
bankruptcy law.
The first three features of the resolu-
sidered separately, the discussion be-
ing vigorous and unanimously favor
able.
BAILEY'S SPEECH.
Mr.. Bailey made the main speech,
urging that Democratic members
should take their opposition promptly
against those financial movements now
assuming formidable dimensions, owing
to the recommendations given to them
by the president and secretary of the
treasury.
He also spoke Of a clear cut PROPOSE
ton in favor of the recognition of
Cuban belligerency, as embodied in the
Morgan resolution, which passed the
senate during the extra session
UNANIMOUS VOTE.
There was not a dissenting vote to
Mr. Bailey's propositions and the first
three resolutions were carried by undn-
imous vote, the result being received
with hearty cheers.
The fourth feature of the resolutions,
declaring for a just and wise bank
ruptcy law, met with some opposition.
Mr.. DeArmOnd, of Missouri, argued
that it was not eXpedient for the party
to take a position favorable to a bank
ruptcy bill at this time. The resolution
was supported by Messrs. Bailey,
Simms, of Tennessee, and Swanson of
Virginia. The resolution finally pre-
vailed by a large majority, although
Mr.. DeArmond and about a half dozen
others registered their votes in OPPOSE
ton to this course.

gia, arrangements were made for the
usual congressional committee to con-
duct the congressional campaign in
