framed to meet the deficit IN revenue
which, he said, was anticipated by the
administration
lit is simply one of several efforts"
he declared, ito create Il fictitious bal
ance in the treasury"
Mr.. German concluded with the state
ment that IL had been predetermined
congress should adjourn with slim ap-
preparations and no legislation what
ever.
Mr.. Perkins of California. in charge
of the bill. then made a general state
ment regarding the bill. saying that IL
had been framed upon estimates sub
mitted by the secretary Of the interior.
the officers Of the government charged
with that duty.
Mr.. Plat. rep. Conn. said: L am
satisfied that there will be no deficiency
| think study of the receipts from
month 10 month under the present law
will fully justify my belief"
Mr.. Stewart of Nevada said there
could be no deficiency in the treasury,
as there Was now in the vaults a great
surplus of $241.o0o.oo0 which, he
though. ought to be put in circulation
in accordance with the law.
Mr. Allen of Nebraska offered an
amendment to the bill providing that
hereafter no pension less than IS "a
month should be granted and that all
pensions less than " a month now be-
ing paid be raised to that amount.
Mr.. Perkins made the point against
the amendment that it was new legisla-
tion.
Mr.. Allen took Mr.. Perkins point of
order as the pretext for an extended
speech, in which he lampooned the re-
publican party, declaring in the course
of his remarks that the republicans
were the worst enemy the old soldier
had.
Mr.. Perkins said. i'm reply that the
senator from Nebraska had taken the
opportunity offered to deliver a politi-
cal speech when ii was a wel-known
fact that the republican party was the
friend of the old soldier.
Without reaching any conclusion to
the point of order against Mr.. Aliens
amendment, the senate, at $50 p. M,
on motion of Mr.. German. adjourned
until tomorrow.

ward of $3.50 offered by Sheriff PadIey.
Under Sheriff Smith in an interview
this evening ernphaticaliy denied the
statement appearing in the associated
press dispatch to the Standard several
days ago that Metcalf had denied his
identity up to the time of his death. ON
the contrary, he acknowledged that he
was the Metcalf wanted. and dictated a
letter to the officers addressed to his
relatives. stating that he was wounded
and under arrest, but that he would
die like Metcalf. He expected to re-
cover from his wounds and be brought
back to Montana and hang for his
crime. Deputy Smith was personally
acquainted with Metcalf. having ridden
the range with him, and says there is
no question of the identity of the dead
outlaw.
The story of the capture as told by
Deputy Smith is practically the same
as published in the Standard some time
since Metcalfs half brother. living in
Alva. took charge Of the remains and
sent them TO his home in Missouri for
burial

GRUB STAKE CONTRACTS.
They Will he Enforced by the Courts the
Same rs Other Contracts

Seattle. Wash. Jan. ai.-An opinion in
which every miner and prospector -
deeply interested was rendered to-day by
Federal Judge Hanford IL in suit
brought against Thomas II. Mallory by
NJ a. Gisna and seven other citizens of
Spokane for share in the mining claims
owned by Mallory in the Klondike d 8
trict. The principal point involved in the
case was how long does a grub stake
contract last. no limitation being set in
the terms of agreement.
In deciding the case Judge Hanrord
said: Il consider that the contract cannot
be fairly construed so az to create any
right in favor of the plaintiffs to prop
erty situated in distant foreign country
purchased by Mallory with his own mon-
ey more than two years after the agree
ment was entered into.
Grub stake contracts will be enforced
by the courts. but only other con-
tracts II is not enough Tor parties to as
sert that they have rights i'm order to Sc
cure legal protection but they must be
able to prove IN each case clear and
definite contracts and by terms and condi-
tions in compliance Herewith rights have
become vested
The court concludes by holding that tho
showing made by the plaintiffs was in
sufficient and the application for an IN
junction pendente lite is denied.

TO IMPEACH THE JUDGES
AN ASTOUNDING PROPOSAL MADE
BY IDAHO LEGISLATORS.
Canvass Has Been Made and the Gov
ernor May BE Induced to Call an
Extra Session.
Special Dispatch to the STANDARD.

Special Dispatch to the Standard
Boise. Idaho. Jan. 24.-One of the
most sensational proposals in the legal
history of Idaho has come to light. 1t
lis nothing short of plan to impeaeh
the members of the supreme court of
the state. For some time il has been
known that people prominent in poll
titcs, one of whom was Hon. A. III. Al
ford of Lewiston, speaker of the Idaho
house of representatives. has been
making a canvass of the members of
the last legislature. with the view to
ascertaining the feeling of the members
on the astounding proposal, the state
ment being made that .f enough MEM
bers could be pledged to Impeachment.
Governor Steunenberg would call an
extra session of the Legislature.
The facts have just leaked out. and
although Governor Steunenberg denies
any completely in the matter, members
of the legislature admit they were ap-
preached on this subject, whether with
or without the governors knowledge
and consent. The governor repudiates
the idea and says no one could have
spoken authoritatively for him. The
recent decisions of the supreme court
practically leaving Idaho without laws
and giving an opening for an attack ON
the appropriation BILL which. il as
sailed. would anquestionably go down
under the courts rulings. thereby leay-
ms lhe DitSShl SldtS duuntHSlrdtlon
stranded. We're responsible for the inn
parchment move.
Certain members of fne IegisIature
believe the supreme court in going be-
hind the enrolled bills in the matters
presented To il. acted in the face of the
best decision of older states and that
the courts decision constituted vicious
attacks on the law-making branches of
the state government For these rea-
sons they favor Impeachment. The re-
suit of the poll is not known. but menu
bers of the legislature say 1t was their
understanding that if 1t was favorable
to Impeachment an extra session would
be called. A rumor Is circulating to the
effect that the poll resulted adversely
TO those promoting it and the outcome
Is naturally awaited with the keenest
interest

sued When the shooting ceased the To-

the state department, his purpose being
to advise with officials relative to the
negotiation of reciprocity treaty for
Cuba under the terms of the present
tariff act This purpose in itself may
be regarded as evidence of the conf

of the outlook. After his visit Assistant
Secretary Day repaired to the white
house, and there was a notable gather
ing around the president, including At
torney General Mckenna and General
Miles, commanding general of the
army. All callers were denied access

lasted for nearly an hour, and when il
broke up IL was with every evidence

COURT AT WORK.
business Seems TO Be Well In Hand snd
Several csSes Disposed of Today.
Minor Matters fInIshed.

Court is grinding along at u
satisfactory speed today. The
first day of a term is always
one of worry aud devoid of re
suits. While this terms first
day was this way, the second
day is all that any could ask.
Considerable business was done.
The case in which A. b.
Crouch. a negro preacher. was
charged with lcarnally knowing
a girl under 16 years. was tried
by jury. A verdict of guilty
was returned, the jury being
out but a few minutes. The
extreme penalty in such cases
is fifteen years Imprisonment.
In the cases against John
Edgin. charged with disposing
of liquor, tho government dis
missed one count and in the
other. on a plea of guilty. a
sentence of six months in Jail
and a fine of 500 were imposed,
both being suspended by the
court on the showing made by
the defendant that he was not a
whisky peddler in any sense of
the word. having only disposed
of some surplus whisky he had
left from a spree.
4 similar case was that of
Mack Hughes. a negro barber,
who had disposed of about q
half pint of diluted alcohol to
an officer. and upon the respect
able showing made by the de-
fendant the court imposed a jail
sentence of sixty days and a
fine of $100. both of which were
suspended during good be-
havlor.
w. A. Serratt, charged with
disposing of liquor. was giver
a sentence and fine similar tc
Edgins, and was allowed to &c
during good behavior.
In the case of Grant Frank
lin. charged with murder, a de
murrer to the jurisdiction, set
ting up that the defendant anC
his victim were Chickasav
freedmen, was filed. This pro
voked considerable discussion
which was closed finally by tht
court overruling the demurrer
1t was then shown that the in
dictment was defective, and tn,
case was referred to the gran(
jury.
The case of Gil billiard, TO
larceny. was then called.
The grand jury has, as yet
made no report.
