FRICTION AT SAN JUAN.
Mayor and Municipal Council Tender
Their designations.

San Juan de Porto Rico, Feb. 19.-
The mayor and majority of the muni-
cipal council Of san Juan have tend
cred their designations.
4 few days ago the question Of
killing cattle for municipal consump-
ton was referred to General Guy V.
Henry, governor general of Porto Rico.
After an investigation. General Henry
issued an order regarding the matter
and the mayor and members of the
council declared that they would resign
before complying with the governors
decree. General Henry, thereupon,
told them if they did not stop trifling
and obey orders, he would have them
imprisoned. A meeting of the council
was held today and resulted, in the
mayor and council rendering their
designations, on account of the alleged
insult by the governor general and his
partisan friends. The deposed Liberals
are said to be back of the trouble.
General Henry says he can govern
the city better with new councilmen
who viii not oppose American methods
Considerable feeling has been excited
by the incident.

ANCIENT SPANISH DOCUMENT.
Shows Vancouver Island Should Be-
long to United States.

Seattle, Wash, Feb. 19.-The Post In
telligencer today publishes a facsimile
of a Spanish document, which shows
that the Spanish were in actual mill
tary possession of Vancouver island be-
tween 1880 and Jan. 1892. 1t is stated
that the document, if it had been IN
possession of Emperor William of Ger
many when he arbitrated the Canadian
boundary between England and the
United States, would have incontestably
proven the right of the United States
to Vancouver island. The document in
question is a report of Pedro Alberni
upon the condition of his forces on his
return from Nootka sound to Mexico.
1t is dated Jan. l, 1898. The original
document, which is now in Seattle, was
sold to a British citizen over forty years
ago, and it has been withheld for per-
sonal reasons.

asked for bonds TO be issued TO raise
about $16,0 with which to complete the
university building, university lands
being pledged to Secure payment. This
proposal also received favorable con-
Sideration.
But neither of these propositions has
anything to do with the appropriation
bill. 1t is understood the normal school
regents will make no effort to secure
any material increase in the amount
originally placed in the bill by the house
committee, but the representatives of
the university, which was allowed by
that committee 900 for the two years
for maintenance, will make a strong
fight for material raise. The demand
before the committee was for S25, 600
committee was turned down by the
house caucus, it is likely a substantial
increase will be made.
The bitter feeling over the appropria-
tons will only be intensified, however,
no matter which way it goes, so if the
house caucus goes to pieces the univer-
sity item can be charged with a large
shares of responsibility therefore.
The appropriations fight has been
further complicated by the bills to re-
move the Albion State Normal school
to Pocatello and give Albion a reform
school. The Pocatello representatives,
who WELD considerable influence. aided
by other southeastern Idaho members.
have entered the fight for increased ap-
preparations all along the line in order
to rally support to their cause.

At the end of the 143rd hour. at 1854, all

NORMAL SCHOOL BONDS.

The joint caucus today accomplished
absolutely nothing, in so far as the
appropriations are concerned. An
agreement was practically reached,
however, on legislation to authorize the
issuance of bonds for the state normal
school at Lewiston and the state uni
versity at Moscow.
B J. w. Reid of Lewiston, one of the
normal school regents, appeared before
the joint caucus and presented the same
facts that he laid before the joint ap-
preparation committee the previous
day. Mr. Reid pointed out the neces-
sity for the construction of two dor
mitories for the normal school and
asked for the issuance of $500 of state
bonds to cover the expense of con-
structing them and also the cost of
purchasing necessary apparatus for the
institution. He asked that normal
school lands be pledged for payment
of the bonds and the committees and
the caucus gave him to understand such
action would be taken.
Frank Martin also appeared before
both organizations in the capacity Of
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1899-02-20

and admitted the high license bill was
one of them. Without taking another
roll call the chair announced the vote
was 10 for and . against. The bill was
passed.
1t was claimed this action was in vio-
lation Of the rules and the constitution
and that the bill was lost on a tie vote.
The men who voted against the anti
gambling bill, with the exception of
Senator Church of Pocatello, are sup
porting the high license bill, which. if
enacted, viii nullify the anti-gambling
law. On account of that possibility the
showing outlined in the foregoing will
be made tomorrow, so as to get it on
the journal for the benefit of the su-
preme court, in case that tribunal
should ever be appealed to.
The Sunday caucus of the Democrats
and silver Republicans of the legisla-
ture, which was heralded as certain to
solve the appropriation problem. only
served to further complicate matters.
The caucus was in session about two
hours in the forenoon, and when it be-
came apparent that it would be impos-
sible to amend the appropriation bill
agreed upon by the house appropria-
tions committee. so that caucus action
would be secured, the senators with
drew from the caucus. The house men,
bers then adjourned, after calling a
meeting of the house caucus for this
evening. The action of the senators
in leaving the caucus is significant as
pointing TO a conflict between the SEN
ate and house over the appropriation
bill, which may develop a persistent
deadlock.
With the political feature of this
contest undecided, and with the silver
or administration majority divided
against itself, the representatives viii
find it more difficult than ever to secure
united action on the various items of
the bill. The members are clamoring
for.increases all along the line, and the
independent attitude of the senators has
served to stiffen their backbone and
make them more persistent in their de-
mands. So it is not at all certain that
the house caucus will reach an agree
ment.

A NEW CANDIDATE.
Opposition to Sisson
For Reelection to
State Committee.
MAJOR FAIRBANKS IN THE FIELD.
He Has Assurances of Sup
port From Influential
Republicans.

Maj. Harry B. Fairbanks will contest
the reelection of George w. B. Sisson
to the state central committee from the
first Worcester district.
Maj. Fairbanks said last night that
the office was not of his solicitation.
Several men who, in his estimation, are
leaders in the republican ranks, went
to him short time ago and asked him
to stand for the office, assuring him
their support in the convention. He
would like the office, and with the as
surances that have been given feels he

see, however, why am not a duly
qualified republican at present. l vot-
ed the straight republican ticket at the
last presidential election, and have con-
tinued to do so since that time. ] am
an enrolled republican at present"
Mr.. Sisson's friends learned of the
new candidate early last evening, and
for time considerable speculation was
in order. While they feel that a suffi-
c1ent number of delegates, including
several Bates men, have pledged them
selves to Mr.. Sisson, to insure CARRYING
the convention, they claim the intro
duction of new candidate is but an
other round of the Guild-Bates fight in
Worcester
Mr.. Sisson was outspoken for Guild
during the campaign, and his friends
claim this is the reason a new candi-
date is brought into the field against
him. A leading republican in discuss
ing the matter yesterday said that in
his estimation men who serve on the
state committee should be allowed five
or six years at least to demonstrate
their ability. The first year gives bare
ly more than a good idea of committee
work, and the manner of doing bust
ness. Presidential election comes next
year. and men are wanted thoroughly
conversant with their districts and the
men who figure in them.
Men at the head of the state commit
tee speak in the highest terms of Mr..
Sisson's ability. and the Boston news
paper boys said some very nice things
OF his work in the state committee.
MAJ. Fairbanks is popular candidate
and one whose war record can be used
to good advantage. Mr.. Sisson is also
popular and well known in Worcester
for MS active interest in republican pol
tiles. From the present outlook there is
prospect of something of a contest for
tomorrow mornings convention to de-
eide
The denomination of Hon. A. S. PIN
kerton to the state committee from the
second district seems practically as
sured. The second district convention
will be held in Horticultural hall tomor-
row forenoon at II o'clock, and the first
district at republican headquarters at
10 o'clock.
