WHEELER WILL LOSE HIS SEAT
CONGRESSMAN CANNOT ACCEPT
COMMISSIONS IN ARMY.
Decision of the House Committee I'm
seats Four Members of the House
May Accept Civil Appointments.

Washington, Feb. 3.-The inquiry Or
dered by the house of representatives as
to what members had forfeited their seats
by reason of accepting other offices ended
today with u finding by judiciary COM
mittee that Major General Wheeler. a
member from Alabama Colonel James r.
Campbell of Illinois, Colonel David g.
Colson of Kentucky and Major Edward
+. Robbins of Pennsylvania had vacated
their seats in the house by accepting COM
missions in the army. AT the same time
the committee determined that none OF
commissions had thereby vacated their
seats in the house.
TIL, judiciary committee has been con-
Quoting the inquiry for several days. and
after an arduouS session ending at $50
p. m. the injunction of secrecy was
removed and General Henderson, chair
man OF the committee. made the follow
ing statement summing up what had been
done: The committee considered in order
the cases of the members of the house
holding civil offices. First the members
of the postal commission MOODY, Catch
ingS and Fleming; second, the members
of the industrial commission Gardner,
Lorimer, Often, Livingston and BelD:
third, the member of the Canadian COM
mission Paync); fourth the member of
the Hawaiian commission (HitO; and
ntth, officers appointed by the speaker.
such as visitors to West Point, regents
Tor the Smithsonian and trustees of other
public institutions, in which the govern
ment has an interest. In all of these fore
going cases the committee finds that they
are not officers within the meaning of
article !, section Of the constitution. The
result Of this finding is that such officers
do not forfeit their seats in congress by
virtue of accepting such offices.
Then the committee finds that Joseph
Wheeler. Edward r. Robbins. David e.
Colson and James NJ. Campbell after
being qualified as members of congress
and acting as such. having accepted COM
missions in the United States army. then
and thereby vacated their seats in the
hfty-fifth congress.
General Wheeler was seen after the
finding was announced but asked 20 be
excused from commenting on the decision,
as it was in the nature of judicial pro
ceeding. 1t is said General Wheeler and
his associates will take no action for the
present, as the finding of the committee
is yet 70 be passed upon by the house.
The fact that Mr.. Jenkins voted against
unseating General Wheeler and the Others
may lead to a minority report.

WORK OF IDAHO LEGISLATURE
LIVELY DEBATE OVER a RAIL
ROAD BILL.
Proposition to Imprison Mine Les
sees Who Fail to Pay the Miners
Irrigation Bill Passed.
lsnecial to The Herald.N

Boise, Ida, Feb. Sin the house to-
day there was lively debate over the
bill fixing maximum railroad rates,
which was indefinitely postponed.
Among the bills passed was a meas
ure fixing the salaries of the county
officers; another providing for the seiz-
ure of personal property of those who
fail to pay their road poll tax, the ir-
rigation bill, and the measure fixing
auctioneers' licenses at $50 a year.
There was a spirited discussion at the
afternoon session oNS.' Lynn's bill to
imprison lessees who fail TO pay the
men employed upon the property leas-
ed. This bill is designed to protect
miners; but the opposition commended
it was an attempt to place the state
back hundred years by a provision for
Imprisonment for debt. An effort to
have this bill indefinitely postponed
failed. During the course of the de-
bate, Redwine and Moody exchanged a
few sizzling remarks over a statement
by the latter that he was an anar-
chist.

the rules, the house bill enforcing judg-

AGAINST FATHER TUOHY.
Famous Catholic Church Case Decided
By Apostolic Court.

Washington, Feb. 3.-The case of
Rev. John T. Tuohy, pastor of st. Pat
rick's church, st. Louis, against Arch
bishop Kahn of that city, which has
been pending for many months before
the apostolic delegates court in this
city, has been decided in favor of the
archbishop. The Official findings have
been received by Archbishop Kahn and
VIII soon be promulgated in his do
cesean organs,
The verdict of Mgr. Martinelli has
four subdivisions, two pertaining to
Father Tuehy's sentence and the other
two relating TO his future treatment by
the archbishop OF st. Louis. Father
Tuohy is told 10 surrender uncondition-
ally to the archbishop, all rights and all
properties pertaining to the pastorate
of St. Patrick. He is then ordered to
make submission to his superior and
for penance to go into retreat for ten
days.
When Father Tuohy has complied
with these requirements the archbishop
is ordered to restore him his priestly
faculties and to make some suitable
provision for his future support in the
arch diocese. This provision is subject

and if the place given Father Tuohy
is not sufficiently lucrative or of digni-
fed position the delegate reserves the
right to ask the archbishop. TO make
another provision.
This decision ends one of the most
famous ecclesiastical lawsuits ever
tried by the papal delegates court. The
case has been in Rome and was re-
ferIed here last summer for final re-
vision

BIG CONCESSION TO CANADA
AMERICANS MAY SURRENDER
DYEA AND SKAGWAY.
Proposition Now Before the Joint
High CommissioE-Dispute Over
the Boundary Line to Be Settled.

Chicago, Feb. ga special from Wash
ington to the Tribune says: II the report
of their subcommittee is adopted, as
seems possible if not probable, slice
of Alaskan territory embracing the en-
trance TO the Klondike, may be coded 70
Great Britain in q treaty 10 be adopted
by the AnglO-American commission
The subcommittee 5 report, IL is said,
comes dangerously near TO putting SkaS-
way and Dyea under British control, leaV-
ing to the Americans, however, the control
of the headwaters of Lynn canal, by
which obth OF the supply towns are
reached. Under the treaty Of cession, II
was provided that whenever the summit
of the mountains which extend in a di-
rection parallel TO the coast from the
fifty-siXth degree of north latitude TO the
one hundred and forty-first degree or
west longitude shall prove 10 De II the
distance of more than ten marine leagues
from the ocean, the limit between the
British and American possessions shall
be formed by the line parelled to the
winding of the coast,a nd which shall not
exceed the distance of ten marine leagues
therefrom.
The British commission at first took the
ground that the coast line was determin-
ed by the islands, which, of courst would
have given them possession OF the MAIN
land at almost all points. They have
abandoned that theory. but have made
new claim regarding the headwaterS OF
the Lynn canal.
This large estuary divides into what are
known as the Chilkoot and Chilkat in
lets. twenty-five or thirty miles south of
Skagway. The subcommittee apparently
favOrS the point of division as the head
of the coast line. If this theory is agreed
10 it would put the boundary line just
about on the shelf of land where the city
of Skagway is located, and would appar-
emily put Dyea in Canadian territory en-
tirely. 1t is believed TO be the purpose
of the subcommittee to put the landing
place itself barely within American terri
tory, so as to permit of the establishment
of a custom house, but giving to the Ca
nadians the real city itself, with its ware
houses and other facilities for beginning
the march to the Klondike.

ments in criminal actions. and II. b.
No 1876. appropriating S15,15e.63 to
cover the expense of mobilizing the
Idaho volunteer troops, were forwarded
to third reading.
Among the bills introduced was one
by Hays, appropriating $1,000 for the
relief of Sol HasbrOuck, clerk of the
state supreme court; one by LippincOtt
amending the poll tax law, and an
other by Stacy, providing for deputy
clerk of the supreme court at Lewiston.
The senate, in the committee of the
whole, cleared up the general calen-
dar.
Ainsley's bill to improve the rivers of
the state for logging purposes was
amended and recommended for pas
sage. The same action was taken on
Ainslie's joint resolution, asking con-
gress to grant pensions to Washington
and Oregon veterans of Indian wars of
1886: also Hays anti-lottery bill
The house today passed what is
known as the committee irrigation bill,
a substitute for the other irrigation
measure presented. The provisions re-
speeding appropriation of water are the
same as those of the existing law, the
main new provision being that county
commissioners, upon proper application
by either canal companies or their pat
rons, shall fix the maximum rate to
be charged for water. 1t also provides
that each canal company must, before
the first Monday of January of each
year, file with the county auditor a
sworn statement, giving a general de-
scription of the property; a statement
of present value; the total amount and
the character of the indebtedness of the
company, including data respecting
perpetual water rights sold; the amount
due the county and from what sources;
the income of the company during the
preceding calendar year and from what
sources; the expenditure for the same
time and for what purposes; the total
area irrigated having no water rights
to be given separately; number of
acres under the canal susceptible TO
irrigation; the capacity of the works
and the quantity of water carried dur
ing the season; the amounts of recorded
appropriations and the date of each.
Failure to comply is punished with
fine of not more than $500. or not more
than six months Imprisonment.

one outside of the commission is sup
posed to know what the nature Of the
report will be.
General Miles was questioned tonight
regarding the reported statements that
he had denied the accuracy of the in
terview concerning beef furnished TO
the army, which was published while
on his recent visit to New York. He
courteously declined to be drawn into
any discussion of that or of other news
paper statements appertaining to him.
General Miles insisted that the ques-
ton at issue, after all, was not of this
or that interview, but whether bad
food was furnished to the army.
There is almost a positive belief
among army officials that there will
be a mitigation of the sentence imposed
by the courtmartial which tried Com
missary General Eagan. While the final
sentence will be severe, it is not prob
able that there will be a dismissal from
the army.
