Thought he. Was Bad.

A young man by the name OF J.
e. Foiles, hailing from Oklahoma,
got little too much tangle-foot on
board Christmas night, and at
tempted TO make rough house
out of a favorite resort in East
Clifton. There were about two
hundred men in the house at the
time, all celebrating Christmas ac-
cording to their individual ideas as
to propriety, when the young bad
man from Oklahoma commenced
to talk about shooting it out with
someone--anyone, he didn't care
much who. He soon became in
volved in personal difficulty with
a bystander, and attempted to draw
his gun, but was unsuccessful.
Constable Hamilton had retired
and VIM. Garland was sent for.
The young man declared most We
hcmently that there were not
enough officers in Arizona to arrest
him. Mr.. Garland arrested him all
right, and placed him In tho cooler
in order to give him little time
in which to cool off. On the fol.
lowing morning he made his escape
from the calaboose, and instead of
"hitting the train for Oklahoma,
he again went over in town, appar-
entity bent on eating up man or
two before breakfast, as it is alleg-
ed bad men often do In Oklahoma,
He accidently run onto Constable
Hamilton to whom he was insolent
and insulting. Billy warped his
six-shooter over the young mans
cabeza, which had a very quieting
effect. He was again locked up,
and in the afternoon was brought
before Justice Wright and several
witnesses examined, but the prin-
cipal witness was sick, hence the
trial was postponed until this
morning at 8 o'clock.
The case was called this morning
promptly at 8 o'clock, and tho
young man from Oklahoma was
fined three hundred plunks. Not
having that amount of money at
his command he was given the al
Tentative of serving it out in the
county Jail at the rate of S1.0O per
day. There is no appeal from this
decision except from the court of
supervisors, and it is not likely
that they will remit any part of the
fine. The young man will have
ample time to reflect over the evil
results of being chad" and it is to
be hoped that he will profit by the
lesson. He, and all others of his
class, should realize that the sway

TO COMBINE EXPRESS SERVICE.
Plan to EmbOdy This I'm the Morgan
Organization.

The Chicago Record of today says
Absolute control of the vast interests
of the nations express companies may fall
into the hands of the railroad financial
powers. Preliminary steps toward such an
object are said to have been taken under
the guidance of J. P. Morgan, j. j. Hill
and others, who are figuring prominently
in the recently reported railway deals. and
the general scheme has been outlined.
1.-The report has it that the powers In
tend to conduct the express business OF
the country as a regular department OF
railroad operation, strong provisions being
made to have all roads act in harmony.
While nothing definite regarding the plans
Is obtainable, 1t Is claimed to be the In
tention of the railroad officials to refuse
to renew contracts with the companies
where the remaining life of the contracts
is not long, and to make outright pur-
chases of franchises where the contracts
still have long lives before them.
1.-The express companies have contracts
ranging all the way from five to twenty
years, and at the expiration of their legal
agreements they are at the mercy of the
railroad companies

NAVIGATIO OF THE SAN JUAN.
Senator Morgan Explains Concession.
Granted by Nicaragua.

Senator Morgan denies in emphatic terms
that he had received any communication
from the State Department notifying him
that Messrs. Forward & Co., an English
shipping corporation. had made formal pro
test to this government against the use OF
the San Juan river as a part of the pro.
posed Nicaragua canal system, because OF
concession from Nicaragua to that COM
pany. He said: Il have received no com.
munication whatever from the State De-
partment concerning the concession to For.
ward & Co. or the Atlas Company, and
am sure that no member Of the committee
on isthmian canals has received any such
notice. Nor have l made any statement
to the effect that the claims of the Alta:
Company are legal, as I am represented tC
have done, nor any other statement to any
one concerning the grant"
Continuing, Senator Morgan said that he
had known all the time that Nicaragua haG
made concession to the Atlas Company
granting the right to navigate the San Juan
river. but that 1t had always been his un
Outstanding that Nicaragua claimed tina
the concession does not in any way inter.

eliminated We have a case where citi-
zens are taking their property into ter
ritory OF the United States. but in which
there is no conflicting point like slavery.
The conditions are changed. Then the I'M
limited power of Congress was urged by the
advocates of slavery; now 1t Is urged by
the advocates Of freedom. If 1t is true that
there lies this arbitrary power in the Con-
stitution we should be delighted that 1t
was not discovered for more than 100 years

Senator Lindsay's Argument.
When Mr.. Carlisle concluded. Senator
Lindsay of Kentucky began the argument
for the plaintiff in the next OF the Porto
Rican cases, that Of Huns VS.. the New
York and Porto Rico Steamship Company.
The case is one involving the question OF
whether or not Congress had the right to
make the trade with the islands coastins
trade or foreign trade. Mr.. Lindsay began
his argument by considering the scope OF
territory comprised in the land con-
.templated in the Constitution and the con-
ditions which arose later when new terri
tory was being added to the nation.
Senator LINDSAY 1OlloWed the course OF
legislation which extended the force Of the
Constitution over the Louisiana purchase.
and said that the belief that the Constitu-
ton was in force upon the ratification of a
treaty or as the direct result of conquest
was not shared by Jefferson, Livingston or
Monroe, and cited the provisions in various
treaties covering the subsequent right to
be conferred upon inhabitants. The In
habitants of Porto Rico, it was urged, did
not make a territory of the island. The
history of other territories was cited to
show that treaties did not make territory.
that conquest did not make territory, but
that Congress had to legislate to give such
standing.
The Congress of the United States. he
said, which possesses all legislative power.
may extend the Constitution to territory
and may legisIate for that territory. Sem
ator Lindsay went into the many features
of constitutional discussions from the earli-
est time, commenting on the positions taken
by Webster. Jefferson and others, and then
analysed the bred Scott decision, being
thus engaged when the count adjourned.

CLARK MAY LOSE sENAToRsHIp
Montana FusiOnists Fail to Get Caucus
Name Him.


to Name Him.
A special to the New York Times from
Helena, Mont, says:
Five petitions were circulated among the
fusionist members of the legislature for a
caucus Thursday night on the six-year sem
atorial term, for which W. A. Clark is the
only candidate.
There are fifty-three fusonists CLARK
democrats. populists and labor out of a
total Of ninety-two, but when the caucus
was called to order there were but twenty
five present, or twenty less than majority.
Today the calls were again circulated, but
the result was the same, and both were
compelled to adjourn without action.
The failure of Clark to secure the caucus
nomination to succeed Senator Carter has
created a decided sensation, although he
asserts that he will be elected on the first
ballot next Tuesday. The refusal of the
entire delegation from Helena and all but
three of that from Butte to sign the caucus
call serves to belittle Clarks chances.
Clark's leading organ in this city ayers
that it is a ''hold-up' game. and warns the
members in no uncertain tones of the pen
atty for bribery. The populsts and labor
men held a separate caucus, but decline to
divulge the result of the proceedings.

There is trouble ahead for the Ocean

The December grand jury for Balti-

Judge Phelps yesterday flags the present
management Of the Female House of Ref

officer, dragged by the hair and whipped
with a horsewhip. She was afterward gag
ged. put in straitjacket and locked in a
dark cell. Another instance is given where
an inmate was driven insane by such treat
ment
1t Is recommended that state and city aid
be taken from the institution; that the
inmates be taken away, and that magis-
tIates be asked not to commit females to
the place pending the founding of a re-
formatory. The report also recommends
that: I'm the light of what has been re-

enormties above described. Three Of the

mend that the next legislature establish a
state reformatory school for girls in which
they will be guaranteed the things denied
them in the Female House Of Refuge.
