DUE TO FEAR.


CCal-Black Negro In South Carolina
Turns Brown.
Charleston, s. c., April 2.-The terror
of being confined in Jail with the added
fear of term in federal penitentiary
has caused remarkable change in the
color of Solomon p. Brown, negro
who was arrested for alleged pension
frauds. Brown was coal-black negro
when he was sent to Jail. When he
was released on bond the experience
was such that his color had changed to
a dark brown and he is almost able to
enter the mulatto class. The change of
color is attributed to fear. Brown has
since turned states evidence. and the
court this week will probably suspend
sentence. in which event it is believed
the negro will regain his former shade.
The case is puzzling to the authorities.

washington. April 2.-The following
important army appointments were
| announced at the White House Satur.
day:
10 De major general United States
army Brig. Gen. Lloyd Wheaton. vice
ailes. promoted to lieutenant general.
10 De brigadier generals in the regu-
lar army, Col. Jacob Fl. Smith. Seven
teenth United States volunteers vice
uaggett, retired: Brig. Gen. Funston.
United states volunteers, vice Wheat
on, promoted.
The announcement of the appoint-
mehts was made after conference be-
tween the president, Secretary Root
and Adjt. Gen. Corbin, and at the same
time the long expected list of appoint
ments of majors and captains in the
paymaster's, quartermaster's and COM
missary departments and of the chap
lains was made known. The list in
GUIDED two majors and TWENTY-FIVE
captains in the paymaster's depart
ment; twenty-One captains in the COM
missary department.; thirty-seven cap
tains in the quartermaster's depart
ment, and seventeen chaplains.
All OF these appointees are in the
80 AAA oAMy uAucI the recent act OF
congress enlarging and reorganizing
the army, and without exception the
STAN appointees are from volunteer Of
hcers. The. chief interest, however,
centered in the three high appoint
ments OF a major general and two
brigadier generals. and more particu-
larly in the selection of Gen. Funston
after his gallant exploit in capturing
Aguinaldo.
One interesting feature connected
with the appointment Of Gen. Funston
to the regular army with the rank of
brsgadier general is that he is likely to
become the lieutenant general COM
manding the army. The recent appoint
ment of officers to be brigadier gen.
erals showed that Gen. Leonard Wood
would succeed to the position of senior
major general of the army in about ten
years and thus become eligible for ap-
pointment- as lieutenant general COM
the army.
Should he be appointed the head of
he army he would continue in that po-
'lt1on over ten years. during which
line Gen. ]. Franklin Bell and Gen.
Jacob Smith, the officers next preced-
ng Gen. Funston, would retire. Their
'etlrement would make him the senior
major general commanding the army
lpon Gen. Woods retirement His Sc
ection then to be the lieutenant gen.
raj OF the army would be probable.

New YORK. Feb. 3.-The announce.
ment that Senator Hill is not candidate
for the presidential nomination of the
party in 1904 is made by the Albany cor.
respondent of Leslies Weekly in the cur
rent issue.
He says: II have the highest author
ity for the statement that Senator Hill is
not candidate in any sense. for the
presidential nomination, and that he is
not responsible for the action of his
friends and will in no way encourage the
continuance Of such action. Whatever
Senator Hills ambition may have been
in the past he treasures no presidential
ambition. He is engrossed in his law
practice. It has grown larger and more
lucrative each year and his absorption in
professional duties gives him little time
and less inclination to respond to the
growing call for him to actively assume
the party's leadership.
"This reluctance on the part of Sena-
tor Hill to reenter public life is not the
result Of pique or disappointment. He
simply finds greater comfort ana enjoy
ment in the practice Of his profession and
less allurement in the field of politics,
which has never been a source Of profit,
and official life has hardly given him
comfortable support. Like every other
man who reaches middle life, Senator
Hill looks forward to achieving substan-
tial financial independence by maintain
ing his established and we'll settled pro-
fessional practice. He is devoting his best
energies to that end, and therefore is not
inclined to respond to such calls as have
been made by the Texas legislature and
by prominent democratic leaders and or
carnations in the south and west.
"Those who have intimate personal re-
lations with Senator Hill greatly doubt
whether he will ever consent to lead his
party again in presidential campaign.
While he is averse to making public ex-
preston Of his feeling in the matter, his
determination is not q secret. Devoted
as he has been for SO many years to his
party's welfare, his Withdrawal from pol
itics is regarded as impossible. He will
continue to be an influential factor, but
this will not interfere with conviction
which he had recently expressed to many
friends that Office holding is unsatisfac-
tory and Improbable.

WHITE PINE LANDS.

kush OF Filings at the Land Office Monday
Some Men in Line for 50 Hours...Two Town.
ships Opened.
When the land Office opened Monday
morning there was every evidence Of a
grand rush to secure filing on some of
the valuable white pine lands. The cor
ridor of the second floor in the Lewiston
National bank building was crowded
with prospective entryuen. Some Of
them had been in line since Saturday
night and had camped in chairs and had
their meals furnished them.
There had been some evidence of a
disturbance and some illfeeling en-
gendered among those who had gathered
at the door, but Register ]. B. West an.
nounced before the doors were opened
that any attempt at disturbance would
result in the prompt removal of the Of
fender, and several peace officers were
present to see that this ruling was car
ried into effect.
1t was known that somewhere in the
party was representative of the North,
ern Pacific with lien land script to cover
several thousand acres and all the loca-
tors were hoping to head him off and get
fling on the particular quarter section
they had selected.
The Office opened at 9 O'Clock. the first
man at the counter was Ransom J. War
rem of Moscow, who held script for filing
on 72o acres. The Northern Pacific
script was found when Matthew Miles Of
Moscow, reached the desk. He was the
eleventh man in the line and held script
for some 5000 acres. Much of it, how
ever, was already filed upon and he Sc
cured only about 1000 acres of his 6rst Sc
lectious. Yesterday, however, he amend,
ed his filings to include the best of what
the locators had OF taken. The script
used by the Northern Pacific was princi
pally lien land script. The script used
by Ransom Warren was black Hills first
reserve script and was filed for the
William Howard Land & Lumber Co., of
the Occur d'Alenes. Following are the
names of the locators. They are mostly
residents of Moscow, Collins and Troy,
and the land was 6led upon under the
timber and stone act: James Armstrong,

'"e Pop"''stic measure tor the initiative
ana referendum have received the most
attention at the hands of the legislature
this week. The Davis COMMITTEES. who
nave charge Of the gambling bill win
now present substitute measure to re-
peal the .anti-gambling law. 1t will pro.
vide for local option on the pambl,ro
question by counties. On the petition cf
100 voters, the commissioners are re-.
quired to submit the question and if a
majority OF the votes favor gambling. the
commissioners will have to issue the
license. Such bill is likely to pass.
The senate will probably take final
action ON the initiative and referendum
resolution tomorrow. 1t will require a
two-thirds vote to adopt it and it is not
believed the proposition will have the
requisite number. 1t is not considered
political measure. although the repub,i-
cans in the senate are solidly against it,
and 1t is expected one or two democrats
Will join them in laying the thing in its
grave. Ifit should pass the senate, how
ever, it stands very little show Of going
through the house. In that body, with
all the members present, it will reoiure
50 votes to pass il. The three republican
members from Latah county will, il is
said, vote for the measure. giving it but
81 votes. providing all the fusionists vote
for It aud all the republicans. with the
exception OF the three mentioned, vote
against it. It is more than likely. how.
ever the fusionists in the lower branch Of
the legislature will not vote solidly In
favor Of the proposed innovation.
Il is likely at least one, and perhaps
all, Of the code bills will be reported back
to the senate before the time to complete
consideration Of the codes. The mem
bers of the legislature are, for the most
part. awake to the necessity Of giving
them the closest scrunity and any at-
tempts to railroad them through will
doubtless receive check that will em-
barass the participants in the .srash act. =

realize the great importance Of giving the
state the very beat codes possible, and
