Still Leads in the Ballot for Sem
ator-No Change Yesterday.

Yesterdays joint session was a very
tame affair, and was exceedingly brief
Only one ballot was taken, and in view
of the fact that the Assembly had
taken no action on the Wright Inves-
LEGATION Committees report, there were
no changes in the vote.
A number of the members wereS abb
sent, and as a consequence, several
pairs were announced, so that while
the vote of Burns and Grant, Bulla and
Barnes was reduced, the ratio re-
manned unchanged
Among the Democrats. Assemblyman
Crowley. who on Friday voted for T.
P. Mogan, changed back to John Ros-
enfield, and Assemblyman Mardell
cast his vote for Henry G.. fGesford,
formerly State Senator from Napa
County. 1t is confidently expected that
old lines will be broken up on Tues
day next, but not before. Yesterdays
ballot resulted as follows:

ADMINISTRATIONS POLICY.
Filipinos to Be Treated With Con-
sideration and Kindness.

Washington. Jan. 1.-The war depart
ment today received a dispatch from
General Otis commanding the United
States forces in the Philippines. 1t was
not important or definite as to the re-
suits, but asked for instructions on some
question in connection with the treatment
of the natives. 1t is supposed also that
the dispatch contained a full statement
of the events at IlOilc. reported in the
press dispatches, but its text was not
made public
The officials are anxious that the na-
tives of the Philippines should learn as
soon as possible the true attitude of the
United States government with respect
to them-that of friendship and considera-
ton, entirely with a view to the better
ment of rule. 1t is realized here that the
islanders are naturally suspicious re-
garding the entrance into their country
and dominion over them of a foreign peO-
pie, and are anxious TO know their inten-
tions. They are to be given to under
stand. said an official of the administra-
ton tonight. that the authority of the
United States is to be asserted over them,
but at the same time General Otis in
structionS are to treat them with con-
SideratiOn and kindness.

THE IDAHO LEGISLATIVE FIGHT
PoPULISTS TRYING TO HOLD UP
BOTH PARTIES.
Hold the Balance of Power In the
Senate and Demand Patronage For
Their Votes.
Especial to The Herald. }

Boise. Ida. Jan. 1.-The Idaho legisIa-
ture will meet tomorrow at noon, but it is
not expected an organization will be per-
fected until Tuesday, owing TO the failure
to get the silver parties together. The
PopuliStS, with two members, hold the
balance of power in the senate and they
are using it to force recognition for their
party in the house They want half of
the executive patronage and some OF the
patronage of the incoming state admins

fought even more bitterly than did the
Republicans.
The Republicans have made strenuous
efforts to get the PopullStS or dlSaffected
Democrats or silver Republicans to go in
with them in this and organize the SEN
ate The Republicans need but two
votes to get this. The Democrats and
silver Republicans are now tied up by
caucus rule and it rs understood. al
though one PopTlist, Carey of Blaine
county has Signfied his willingness TO
go in with the Republicans if the Populist
demands with reference to the house are
not complied with, the other Populist SEN
a5or. taston of Shoshone county, has de-
clined. 1t is said tonight there is no hope
of the Republicans organizing the senate.
If the Populists hold out the organiza-
ton of the legislature can be delayed for
several days.
There is a big row over the action of
State Auditor-elect Bartlett Sinclair re-
fusing to stand by his agreement 10 ap-
point Colonel HanEafOrd of POcatellO as
his chief clerk. Hannaford came here to
take the place, but when Sinclair arrived
last evening. silver Republicans induced
him to rescind his promise TO the POca-
tello man, who, it is now said. has gone
into the Republican party. Some old
time financial dispute in connection with
Hannaford's 5 connection with the knights
of PythiaS lodge is responsible for the
agitation against him that resulted in the
blighting OF his hopes. The Republicans
have attempted to use HannafOrd'S case

WITHIN THE PALACE.
On entering the palace, the Ameri-
can generals went to the saloon facing
/ the plaza, which is on the second floor.
/ It is a lofty chamber, decorated with
mirrors of deep silt frame, while satin
/ draperieS and the scarlet arms of
/ Spain are over each door and window.
Here were gathered the members of
/ the captain generals staff, Colonel Gel
( pi, Lieutenant Colonies Relied, Girauta
and Bonitas. Major Priego, Captains
Ritene, Adoifo and Ramon CastellaEoS,
sons of the captain general.
Captain General Castellanos was at
this time in a private room off the
throne room. He had given a farewell
breakfast at 10 o'clock to the members
of his staff, and had spent the rest OF
the morning virtually alone, looking
at the Americans from the balcony.
The Americans now grouped them
selves near a large mirror between the
two central windows, the Spanish staff
being on the right. while CT the left
the American stats, the Cuban gen
erals and the correspondents.
Suddenly Captain General CaStella-
nos entered the saloon without cere-
mony from the left, ard greeted Gen
eral Brooke and others. After shaking
hands, General Brooke sat upon sofa,

General Rodriguez replied: L thank
you, general. l feel sorry for the Span

ner it was sworn to defend. I also
have pleasure in shaking your hand"
Captain General Castellanos took his
position near Major General Brooke.
The buzz of conversation on the
American side of the chamber con-
trasted with the silence on the Span
ish side. There was a marked differ
ence between the Americans and Span
iards, the former tall, heavy, and wear
ing much gold cords; the latter small
and slight, in blue-striped cambric
uniforms. The Spaniards were de-
pressed; the Americans We're corre-

ILLINOIS LEGISLATION.
Lawmakers Will Give Attention to
the Labor Troubles.

the Labor Troubles.
Springfield, Ills, Jan. 1.-The forty
first general assembly will convene at
noon next Wednesday. The organiza-
ton of the two houses will be ef-
fected on that day. The message of
the governor will probably be trans
mitted to both houses some time dur
ing the afternoon. There will be no
United States senator to elect this year,
so that the first few weeks will lack
the political interest which has distin
guished the last two regular. sessions.
However, there will be an abundance
of other things TO make the session
interesting, at times exciting, and per-
hapS, as prolonged as the average Ses-
sion. 1t will not be altogether without
political interest, for at this time it
seems probable that an attempt will be
made at congressional reapportionment.
The Republicans will control both
houses by a majority which will prob
ably be sufficient to pass any appor-
tionment measure that may be agreed
upon. Nothing very radical will be at
tempted in the way of apportionment,
the changes, in all probability, being
confined to a few districts.
Final adjournment is not expected
before the latter part of May or early
in June.
Labor legislation will occupy a large
share of attention. The events of the
past year, more particularly the min
ing troubles at Virden and Pana, have
created a pronounced sentiment in fa-
vor of law which will effectively pre-
vent the Importation of negroes in
large numbers from other states. There
is general feeling among members in
favor of a law which will keep out of
the state armed bodies of cheap labor
ers from other states, such as precipi-
tated the Virden riot.
