and suit was brought to compel the
clerk to do it, with the result as above
stated. That decision kills fusion in
the state of Wisconsin.
This decision is interesting to the
people of Idaho, inasmuch as there ex.
lists here perfectly parallel case. Two
distinct political organizations, each
standing for set of principles diamet-
rically opposed to the other have agreed
to combine upon one set of candidates
or ticket for the spoils of office. Each
party retains its name and shall want
to occupy their respective columns on
the official ballot, which means that the
names of one set of candidates will APP
pear twice upon the official ballot.
That is on the state ticket. In this
county the fusionists have gone the
state mOnstrosity one better, and it is
proposed to place one set of county
candidates in three seperate and dis
tinct columns on the official ballot.
The object of this is that, while the
average fusion candidate wishes his
name printed in any old place where it
is Fable to catch the votes of partisans,
he prefers to be known only as men,
Der of the political organization to
which he belongs; in other words while
his hunger for Office debases him to the
extent that he is willing to accept the
votes of any party, no matter what set
of principles such party may endorse,
he still pretends to possess small sense
of decency and would haye the people
believe that he is ashamed to be known
as member of a party whose princi.
Piles are not in harmony with those of
the organization in which he claims
membership.
Under the Wisconsin decision the
fusiOnists must all be known as belong
ing to one political organization. Any
number of parties may combine upon
one ticket, but on the official ballot
they must be designated as one party.
For instance, If the supreme court of
Idaho should pass upon this question
and render decision in harmony with
the Wisconsin court, the candidates
who were nominated by the tripartrite
convention at Occur d'Alene last week
would have to be placed on the official
ballot as Democrats, Populists or silver
Republicans and their names would ap.
pear in but one column upon such bal
lot; or in case they might not agree to
sail under the one banner of Democracy
Populism or silver Republicanism, then
each party would be compelled to place
its candidates in their respective col
umns, the democrats to appear in the
column on the official ballot which is
reserved for that party, and likewise
the Populists and silver Republican
candidates, but the name of no one
candidate could appear twice. The re.
suit would be the complete failure of
fusion at the polls, as there are always
too many partisans who will vote their
own ticket straight and no one else.
1t is to be hoped that the Republicans
and decent citizens in this county and
state will not fail to give the political
trust formed against them broadside
of sharpnel of the Wisconsin compost.

Little Church War in London.

| LONDON, July 21.-The action of the
Prince OF Wales in granting the use of
the Imperial Institute for the recent
Catholic bazaar is being made the sub
ject OF q violent protest on the part of
the ultra-loysl adherents of the estab-
lished church, and it is said that the
queen herself has undertaken to pal
late the disaffected in some measure
by opening her purse strings to a num-
Der of charities most closely identified
with the Church of England.
The latter however shows disposition
to make the most of the so called act of
disloyalty on the part of the heir ap-
parent, and the following resolution,
bearing the signatures of number of
bishops and others, has been sent to
his royal highness:
The council of the Church sssocia-
tion learn with the deepest regret
that the Prince OF Wales has granted
the use of the. Imperial Institute for
the holding OF q bazaar on half of a
Roman Catholic institution, in possible
ignorance of the fact that it is conduct
ed by the nuns of the "Convent of the
Faithful Virgin" and that the Prin-
cess of Wales has consented to open a
fancy fair in connection Herewith, un-
mindful of the fact that the claim of
their royal house to the allegiance of
the English people rests upon the
pledges exacted by the British consti-
tuition that the reigning family of this
Protestant country shall hold itself
aloof from the Pope Of Rome and his
agents, and shall maintain the "Pro-
testant Reformed Religion established
by Law"

TERRIBLE TRAGEDY
At a Missouri Poor Farm.

CHILLICoTHE, Mo-, July PA ter
rible tragedy was enacted at the poor
farm here last night. Mrs. William
Jones, young married woman, was
found Tuesday night wandering about
the streets in a rain storm with her six
months old baby in her arms. She was
crazed by studying the doctrines of
Christian science, and believed that
herself and child could live without
food. The county court yesterday sd-
judged her insane and ordered her re-
moved to the poor farm.
Last night she became violent and
with table knife procured in an un.
known manner she killed the little
child, mutilating the body in hor-
rible manner. The frenzied woman
watched the death struggles of the in
nocent baby, and then, with the same
knife, cut her own throat, dying almost
at once.

The Way to Manila.

HONG KONG, July 21.-The SECOND
expedition from San Francisco, com
manded by Brig. Gen. Greene, has ar
rived at Manila, bringing $500 more
| men to Dewey. On the way from
Honolulu troops we're landed on Wake
Island, midway between the Hawaiian
Islands and the Philippines, and the
American flag was raised. Wake Is
land WAS Spanish possession.

THE PRISONERS
TO Be Returned To Spain As Soon
As Possible.

WASHINGTON, July 21.-The admin
istration is greatly pleased with the
work of Col. Hooker in arranging for
the return Of the Santiago prisoners to
Spain. Contracting with Spanish ves-
sells is regarded as wise move, as it
has relieved the war department of
the necessity of furnishing conveys.
The war department will see the pris-
Oners safely on board and quartered
according to contract.
The safety and care of the prisoners
will then be left to the contracting par
ties, who will be held to account by
the Spanish government in case the
prisoners are not treated properly. Our
officers will make a careful inspection
of the vessels and provisions. The
Spanish officers will be furnished with
copies of the contract with the steam
ship companies, so they may insist up
on having its provisions fulfilled.
Under the arrangements made by
Hecker, the shipment of prisoners will
begin promptly. Four, possibly five,
vessels now on this side of the Atlantic
are in Mexican ports where they have
been some time 'fearipg capture by
American warships. These vessels
will report within 9 days and will &C
5000 troops. Two others
are to report within IL days

GARCIA CROSS.
He Says He Mont play Any More

He Says He Won't play Any More
SANTIAGO, July 20, Via Playa del
Este, July 21.-Gen Garcia has writ.
ten letter to Shsfter in which he de.
clares he is disgusted with the treat.
ment he has received at the hands OF
the Americans and ,will consequently
withdraw his own forces to the hills,
he being no longer willing to submit to
the indignities to which he has been
subjected.
Among the things of which Garcia
complains is the failure of the Amer
lean commander officially to notify him
of the surrender of the Spanish forces
under Toral. He is also incensed be-
cause of the fact that he was not invit-
ed to be present at the ceremony at
tending the formal capitulation of San
tiago.
Another of his grievances is the ac-
tion of Shafter in retaining the Span
ish civil authorities in the administra-
tion of their functions at Santiago.

TO ANNEX CERVERA.
He May Become a United States
Citizen.

NEW YORK, July 21.-Information
comes from a very reliable source that
Cervera will renounce his allegiance to
Spain and become citizen of the u
S. Cervera has come to this conclusion
for various reasons. the principal one
being that he is convinced the Spanish
government will order a court martial
to try him for losing his ships off San
tiago.
The report that Toral will be court
martialed Cor surrendering Santiago
only strengthens Cervera's conviction.
While be acted strictly un-
der orders in running out of Santiago
bay and put up a courageous and
noble fight. he is convinced that
his government is ready and willing to
sacrifice.any.officer of.the army or navy
in order to reconcile the public in a
degree to the rapidly following disas.

TO PORTO RICO
Our Ships Need OVerhauling.

WASHINGTON, July 21.-General
| Miles starting from Guantanamo to
Porto Rico caused the administration
some uneasiness. 1t is stated that the
delay is entirely unavoidable. It is
caused by SIMPSONS vessels not being
ready for a hard campaign.
Warships have to be groomed at reg
ular intervals. Simpsons feet has
been in active service for many months
now. For many days the ships we're
under high pressure off Santiago. Now
that the campaign there is ended, it is
only natural that the commander of
the fleet should wish to overhaul the
machinery and the ships, give the bot
toms good cleaning, and do other
necessary work. This, which has been
progressing for few days, is now
about completed.
1t was believed in some quarters that
some friction has developed between
Sampson and Miles, and that this caus-
ed the delay. That idea is wrong. 1t
is stated today Ssmpson's ships are
now ready, and that a move will be
made Saturday. The Charleston and
Tampa expeditions have time
to join Miles by Sunday
in the Windward Passage.
Then the whole fleet, under safe con-
voy, can proceed to selected port in
Porto Rico, land men under the guns
of the warships, establish base, and
wait for reinforcements before begin
ming active operations against San
Juan.

CUBANS WORTHLESS
This Is The Problem That Will Con-
front Us Perhaps For a Genera

|
! WASHINGTON, July 21.-On Gen.
Skaters recommendation, all orders
heretofore issued by Gen Miles before
he. left Washington providing for the
distribution of arms among the Cubans
or the sending of supplies
| to Gomez or other insur-
gents have been countermanded. No
attention whatever will hereafter be
paid to the Cubans as military allies.
On the contrary, at the least sign Of
insubordination among the Cubans
near him, Shafter has been ordered to
disarm them.
His reports show them to be utterly
worthless, to be skulkers and looters,
and he expresses the utmost disgust
for them. The Cuban junta in this
country, is also said to be n disfavor.
WASHINGTON, July Ex-senator
Foraker has not forsaken the Cubans.
Regarding the unfsvorable reports as
to the conduct of the insurgents that
have come from Santiago he said:
''The breach between the American
and Cuban forces is most unfortunate.
We must remember, however, that
the Cuban side has not been heard.
McCalla, Sampson, and Shafter comp
limented the Cubans.
"There was no change until one
day it was stated that Garcia refused
to obey the order to prevent, with
three thousand men, the entrance of
Pando into Santiago with eight thou
sand men.
Nov the fact appears that Pando
did not enter Santiago and his troops
did not enter the city. Garcia claims
to have obeyed every order given
him.
1.-The Cubans assert that the natives
who refused to work in the campaign
around Santiago are not soldiers, but
pacificOs who have become camp fol-
lowers"

Watson's Little Raid Has Been Aban.
dOned.

WASHINGTON July 21.-The raidine
squadron under Watson has been dis
banded. Some of the vessels will
come north to be docked, others have
been ordered at once to Porto Rico.
This is the result of this morning e
meeting of the war board at which
Secretaries Long and Alger were
present.
All idea of sending any naval ves-
sells across the Atlantic, either to the
Canaries or to the coast of Spain ha 8
been definitely abandoned. Ameri-

This announcement is official. This
determination is expected to remove a

Spain the opportunity to take the in
