Can't Get Cannon
NEW YORK, April 2O.-It is stated here
that Spain, unable to wait until her or
ders for guns at Krupps Cannes factory
are executed, has been trying to purchase
guns elsewhere in Germany, says the Ber-
lin correspondent Of the World. She has
not been able to secure any yet, as the
government looks askance at all such
proposals.
A local paper gives currency to the state
ment that Spain is negotiating for a loan
in England, offering England a tenure of
the Philippine islands until the loan Is re-
paid. ~
Quite number of newspapers have seiz-
ed upon the statement that special relig.
ious thanksgiving services are to be held
in the United States on the declaration of
war, and, taking it seriously, denounce the
impiety Of the idea as peculiarly Ameri-
can.

LIKE THE isRANN TRAGEDY.
Texas Editor Mortally Wounded, But He
Killed His Opponent.

A dispatch from Cotulla, Tex,
April 10th says: Henry May was
killed, and Editor j. Guy Smith, OF
the La Sales Isonomv, paper
published in Colulla, was MORALLY
wounded in a street fight last night.
Smith is commonly known as
"Brann No. 2 OH account of the
bitterness of his writings. 1t is
generally believed that something
he published about May caused the
difficulty. The affray occurred in
front of the Burk Hotel, and May
is said to have shot Smith twice
from behind before Smith got his
pistol out May died before morn
ing. Smith is still alive, hut the
chances for his recovery are slight.
Both Smith and May were young
men and well connected. Illfeeling
existed between the relatives and
friends of both parties, conse-
quence of local politics, which it
has been often said would result in
trouble, and it is believed here by
citizens that more blood will flow.
May was employed by his uncle,
A. Armstrong, one of the wealthiest
stockmen in this section of the
country.

Idaho Politics.

At the municipal elections in
Idaho the Women cast from SO to SO
per cent of the votes for town Offices.
The Populist vote in tae munich
pal elections Of the state was not
of sufficient numbers to encourage
the party for the fall election. The
average vote at Idaho Falls was
less than 40.
The election Of judges, clerks,
county attorneys and county school
superintendent will open the way
for more candidates this year, and,
to that extent, will make the cam
paign more exciting.
This is election year for district
judges, county clerks and for county
attorneys instead of district attor-
neys. In the state at large there
will be So more officers to be voted
for than in the year 1896.
The Malad Enterprise says it is
a notable fact that number of
women openly voted agains. their
husbands last Tuesday. That is
the kind of courage and independ-
ence that the country needs. The
women are all right.
The Salmon City Republic says !:
One of the first voters at the polls
at the municipal election last year
was woman; two women are
memhers of the Silver Republican
county committee; five women were
candidates on Tuesday for the city
council; and two women served on
the jury in the fighting case on
Wednesday. Why not elect COM
plete set of county officers, COM
posed of women, at the coming fall
election2

Late Washington dispatches state
that the military and naval prepa-
rations continue undated and the
experts are formulating prospective
plans of operation. 1t seems to be
the view that il will not be neces-
sary to extend the campaign beyond
the island Of Cuba, unless Spain
assumes an aggressive attitude, in
which case the operations of the
United States military and naval
forces will be extended to the Span
ish possessions of Porto Rico, the
Philippines, the Canaries and pos
sibly Spain itself. 1t is the opinion,
however, that the fighting will not
extend far beyond Cuba and Cuban
waters, and that after the United
States control Cuba, hostilities
would not be prolonged. This view,
however, leaves cut the fact that
after fighting once begins, it cannot
foretell how far it will 20, and the
government is preparing for any
emergency.

Disgraeeful Conduct in Congress.

There was free fight in the halls of
Congress- ednesday over the Cuban
resolutions. There were a dozen
personal encounters during the
melee. Books and inkstands were
hurled at each others heads and
liar" ''scoundrel" and other de-
mandatory epithets were applied.
Men rushed up and down the aisles
like madmen. Members rushed be-
tween the contestants who were ex-
changing hot words with clinched
fists and set teeth. They were drawn
apart. The speaker pounded with
his gavel and with stentorian tones
demanded that all members take
their seats.
When order was in part restored
Wheeler { Dem, Ala. loudly insist
ed that the words be taken down,
but he yielded to the appeals Of bis
friends.
Not in years has such a scene
occurred as was witnessed on the
floor fthe House during the excite
ment. Books were thrown, Bartlett
of Georgia letting fly heavy cloth
covered volume at Brumm of Penn
sylvania, which just grazed his head
and spent itself in the aisle beyond
where he sat.
The trouble arose over the objection
made by Mr.. Bailey of Texas to the
consideration ofthe resolution with
out proper understanding as to the
length of time allowed each side.
