CALIFORNIA DEADLOCK.
Senator May Not Be Elected For Sew
eral Weeks.

Sacramento, Cal, Jan. 12.-The legis-
lature met in joint session again today
to vote for United States senator, but
beyond the gain and loss of one or two
votes by some OF the candidates, the
three ballots cast today did not change
materially the vote on yesterday. On
the third ballot today the Democrats
gave their votes to J. H. Seawell, who
received "a votes. Colonel Dan NJ Burns
had twenty-siX adherents on each bal
lot today, but in the last two u. S.
Grant, jr., received q votes, a gain of
ore.
The gain of one for Grant was taken
from the Bulla forces, thus throwing
Bulla one vote behind General w. H
L. Barnes, who gained one vote today
over yesterday, receiving 10 votes on
each ballot today.
The third ballot resulted as follows:

The general impression prevails that
the deadlock will last for a long time,
possibly two or three weeks. 1t was
reported this afternoon that Grant
would withdraw from the contest. but
this is denied by his supporters. The
withdrawal, should it take place, will
not occur for several days yet

Boise, Ida, Jan. 12.-The legislature has
advanced only a lap or two in the long
distance re-enactment race. The house
today devoted the entire session TO read

first and second time by title. As fast
as the bills were passed they were bum

the $25, 800 legislative appropriation bill.
The senate in the afternoon session
again took up the committee question.
There remained but two committees to
appoint on printing and appropriations.
Lieutenant Governor Hutchinson named a
PopuiiSt and two Republicans on the print
ing committee and two Republicans, a
PopuliSt, Democrat and silver Repub-

The Republican-Populist majority ac-
cepted the printing committee, but rejected
the other, because the chalrmanshlp was
given to a Democrat. The matter viii
come up again tomorrow.
During the DAY Senator EaSton, rising TO
question of personal privilege. made an
attack on the constitutionality of the
session. The last apportiOnment bill, he
said was unqueStionably invalid, meas
ured by the free bill decision. There was,
therefore, in his opinion, no authority IN
law for the existence of the fifth session,
and it puzzled him to know hOY All il

put stop to the discuss on by announcing
the well known principle that law was
presumed to be constitutional until the
supreme court had decreed otherwise.

presented:
By Senator Tracy-To amend the char

yer Party Chairman.

Carson, New, Jan. 12.-An exciting
meeting of the silver party state central
committee was held today, efforts be-
ing made to swing the committee by
the rival candidates for the senator
ship. A resolution was introduced by
the Stewart faction. demanding the res
ignation as chairman of the committee
of w e. Sharon, one of the most active
supporters of Frank Newlands. on the
ground that Sharon is now laboring
to defeat the expressed will of the sill
yer party in the platform declaration
for the reelection of William NJ Stew
art to the United States senate
After long discussion the considera-
tion of the resolution was. by a vote of
% to 10. deferred for one week. This
result is claimed as a victory by the
Newlands adherents. although the
Stewart people claim that in the mean
time the holders Of proxies will receive
definite instructions from their princi-
pals to vote for the ousting of Sharon.

STRIKE OF FREIGHT HAULERS
Serious Trouble With Employees of
Noah Bartholomew.
(Snecial tn The Herald

Price, Utah, Jan. 12.-The freight
haulers from here to Fort Duchesne to-
day went on a strike against Noah Bar
tholomew, contractor for the mail and
freight from Price to Fort Duchesne.
They are now paid so cents per hum
dred pounds, and ask for 81, an increase
of S150 per hundred. The teamsters
make all kinds of threats, and say they
will stop anybody who attempts to
load any freight from the Rio Grande
Western for the government post at
Fort Duchesne.
The impression prevails here that the
stoppage of government freight is equal
to an interference with the mail, and
serious trouble is looked for, should any
interference be offered. There are
twenty-five or thirty freighting outfits
involved

Il do not censure that strength or

this desire to please, this wish to be

even, by tasteful art, to enhance what
ever grace or charm nature may have
bestowed, or make good its absence,
there is no faint of cruelty. and never
has been from the beginning of the

years, did woman transgress the laws
of God, as written in her amiable feel

her claim to admiration on cruelty.
This surely is a new development,
a horrible fashion, a cruel and disgust

originated such a hideous and hideous-

Some seven years ago there appeared

FIGHT MARTIAL LAW QUESTION
MATTER ARGUED IN IDAHO SU-
PREME COURT YESTERDAY.
To Decide Whether Governor Steun-
enberg Had Right to Declare a
State of Instruction.
Especial TO The HeraldN

Boise, Ida, May 31.-The habeas cor
pus case, on the decision concerning
which hangs the question OF martial
law in ShoshOne county. under Cover
nor Steunenberg's proclamation. was
argued today before the supreme court.
The court announced il would decide
the case tomorrow morning.
The application for the writ of he
beas CORPUS was made on behalf of
William Boyle. one of the commission
ers OF ShOshone county, who i; COW

Attorney General Hays. on behalf IF
the state. and by Colonel Patrick Fec =
dy of San Francisco and Frederick c
Robertson of Spokane for Boyle l.
is an unusual case. There has not Der
haps been half a dozen cases like II
in the United States during the past
century.
The argument hinged mainly on the
question of the right of the governor 10
suspend legal process. including the
writ of habeas corpus. by declaration
of martial law; and It was also con
tended by the attorney for Boyle thar
the governors proclamation declaring
a state of insurrection existed in Sno-
shone county did not constitute dec
laration of martial law.
General Hays maintained that the
statutes and the constitution gave the
governor ample authority TO declare q
county in a state of instruction. and
that that declaration worked a sus-
pension of civil process, including the
writ of habeas corpus. which. there
fore, would not lie in this case.
