THE IRREPREssIBLE LENTz.
His Outbreaks Cause Disgraceful
Scene in the Wardner Inyestiga-
ton Yesterday.

WASHINGTON. March 2S.-The fifth
day of Governor Steunenberg's testi-
mony in the Coeur d'Alene investiga-
tion began today. Lentz continued
the cruss-examination.
The governor said he had been in
the Occur d'Alene region during two
days in February before coming here.
There We're three state deputies on
duty at that time and Dr. Francis,
who has been in the service of the
state continually throughout the trou-
Bile. On one of his previous visits he
talked with Stimson, one of the Inn
prisoned men. He had been told by
Dr. Francis that there was evidence
connecting Stimson with conspiracy,
and on April Is, prior to the blowing
up Of the mill, Stimson said to certain
individuals to get out of Wardner, as
there was going to be trouble.
The governor detailed number of
visits to San Francisco, Spokane and
elsewhere, during which, he said, he
met officials of various mines. At a
meeting at Spokane he told the mine-
owners there would be no modification
of the permit system. The mineown-
ers were opposed to this system, and
wanted to employ the men they chose,
but the governor said he informed
them that the state of Idaho would
not permit the employment of crimi-
nails. He made no statement as to
how long the permit system would
continue, but he said he intended to
enforce 1t as long as it seemed neces-
sary to insure order.
Lentz asked if this meant that the
governor would do as he pleased on the
subject, to which the witness replied
that he would do as his Judgment die
tated. If the permit system had re-
suited in the loss to the mines of a
half million dollars, as Lentz stated,
the governor said he did not care for
that, as It was a necessary recourse
by the state. Like Louis XIV, you
are the state" remarked Lentz. Lentz'
aliusion to Louis XIV caused prolonged
discussion.
A sensational episode occurred at this
point. Lsntz asserted that some of
the state deputies were living with dis
reputable women. Cheney, an attorney
appearing in behalf of the state of
Idaho, interposed a protest, and said:
Il hurl back at you that statement.
The deputies are reputable men,"

JOUDERT'S DEATH DEPLORED
His Ability as a General Recognized and
His Moderation as q counseIIss
Praised By Tie Whole
British Press.

LONDON. March 2s.-Lord Bober,a
has sent 10000 troops TO Glen, ten miles
north Of Bloemfontein on the railway.
This is preliminary to a general ad-
vance.
Immense quantities Of stores have
now been accumulated at BloemfonteIn
and Lord Roberts infantry is SEEM
ingly about to move. An impression.
which connot be traced 10 the war
o.iice, is abroad that the advance win
begin next Monday.
Boer observation parties are hover
ing near Bloemfontein, but Lord Rob
erts has one hundred and thirty-five
miles to cover before reaching the
great position which the Beers are pre-
pairing at Kroonstad.
Moving ten miles a day is probably
the best he can do with his field trans
ports. Therefore he can Hardly engage
the Beers in force for two weeks. The
reconstruction Of the railway behind
him may even delay the invasion OF
the Transvaal until May. Meanwhile
all the important towns in the Free
State within Lord Roberts reach are
being garrisoned.
Sir Alfred Miner is touring in the
disturbed section OF the acquired terri
tory. investigating conditions and ar
ranging the administration. He "a
understood to be getting materials for
a report to Chamberlain concerning a
plan for civil government.
All the morning papers print singu-
larry kind editorials concerning Cen
eral Joubert. They praise his military
success. uphold his chfvaIrous con-
duct and regret that so strong and
moderate mind should be absent from
the final settlement Of the dispute.
Although some OF the younger com
manders thought the old soldier want
ing in dash and enterprise. his raid
into the country south OF the Tugela
is considered the best piece Of Boer
leadership during the whole war. II
IS now known that he crossed the Tu-
gela with only 5000 rifemen and six
guns, but so bold and rapid We're his
movements that the British command
ers thought 10000 Beers were marching
on Pietermaritzburg.
The foreign office. according TO the
Daily Chronicle, is arranging with
Portugal for some thousand of British
troops to be landed at Beira and sent
to Rhodesia on the railroad from Mas
si-Kesso to Umtali.
A permanent arrangement is under
stood to exist for the use on this route
to transfer the Rhodesia police. The
possibility Of foreign protest is sug-
gested by the Daily Chronicle.

PUERTO RTCAN
VOTE TUESDAY
Agreement Reached tOSnbmit the
Matter to Final Passage.
STRONG SPEECH BY DAVIS
Minnesota Senator FayOrs an Internal Reye
aue Tax for The Support Of the
Island and Advocates
Free Trade.

WASHINGTON. March 2S.--The sen-
ate today agreed 10 vote upon the
Puerto Rican government and tariff
bill Tuesday afternoon at O'Clock.
An important utteranes was made
later in the day by Davis, Of Mime
sofa. who advocated free trade be-
tween the Unites States and Puerto
Rico.
His speech was comparatively brief,
but his reasoning was 80 close that he
crowded into a small space an immense
amount Of well digested information
and careful thought. His proposition
was that the necessary money to be
raised by taxation should not be raised
by duty levied upon Puerto Rican
products. but by internal revenue tax
levied on the riun and tobacco pr ducts
on the island.
This system. in his opinion. would
better suit the people of the United
States and those OF Puerto Rico than
the proposed tariff. and would be just.
equitable and constitutional.
An argument advanced to support
the tariff, he said, was the protection
the Is per cent would afford TO our
products and labor. He ridiculed such
a proposition. as no protectionist would
contend that Is per cent Of the Ding
ley rates would afford adequate pro-
lection for anything.
Adverting to the Philippines as a
factor in the Puerto Rican problem,
Davis said:
when We come to deal with the
Philippine question, we win Jake care
OF that Puerto Rico is little more
than 700 miles from our coast; the
Philippines are 5000 miles. The island
OF Puerto Rico is naturally a part OF
the North American jurisdiction. The
Philippines are part OF the domain
Of Asia. Against the products and
people of the Philippines, when the
time comes, the rights of American
labor will be protected by any PARTY
that may be in power"
Davis said il was inconsistent to ex-
tend our laws relating TO coastwise
trade TO the island and not extend
our tariff laws.

WEBSTER TO BE HANGED.
The Investigation of His Case Leaves
No Doubt Of His Rightful
Conviction.

SPOKANE, W., March 2S.-Superlor
Judge Prather and County Attorney
Moore today completed the quasi-judi-
cial proceedings in the case of Webs
ter, condemned for the murder of Mrs.
Aspland three years ago, and the Of
ficials telegraphed Governor Rogers
that nothing new had been developed
that would raise a reasonable doubt
as to the identity of the man who fired
the fatal shot.
Webster's attorneys declared that
they considered the hearing a judicial
proceeding and would appeal to the su-
preme court, but Judge Prather said
no appeal could lie.
There is scarcely doubt that Webs
ter win be hanged Friday.
