That vascular gentleman and Simon pure repre-ontaliv- o of en neiated jour-nalism and the world's fair high com-missioner, has again fallen into the pickiti of his own duplicity. St. Patric k I.annan un promoted from quartering b"eves on the block to slaughtering and unrepentant Mormons by the instrumentality of the modern guillotine (when used for base pur-poses) the public prc.-s-. is again iu the slump. The lord high executioner has be-headed himself with his would-b- e vic-tim. The prudent, cunning, sleek, fat. tall talker; a very Prndhoinine in the flesh, the exemplification of "the full-ness of emptiness," who, like another supposed great man, goes along the street inquiring w hether ihe Almighty made him or he made the Almighty, is fallen, and cannot again be resurrected to his proper pcdetal except by the heroic efforts of Prosecutrng Attorney Samuel A. Merrill. And now it doth appear that the Simon pure I.annan whose virtuous voice has been crying in the wilderness for examination, investigation anil ex-posure, made overtures to become an accomplice in the city 'roeordership shortage. That he was ripe and ready to hush up, cover up, bury out of sight, any crookedness that might have ex-isted in tho recorder's office, if his terms were, complied with. That he was willing to play with public honesty if the recorder acceded to his demands. The story of his duplicity is told by Mr. M. C. Phillips, father-iu-la- of Hyams. "It is rumored that Patrick Lannan offered to 'hush up' the investigation if you would accede to his terms," said a Times reporter to Mr. Phillips, on Main street this morning. Mr. Phillips said he was not yet ready to speak of the matter. "But this matter cannot be kept quiet and the public want to know the whole truth," insisted tho reporter. I am not quite ready to make the facts public, but as it must come out, I will tell you the truth, and I want you to print it as 1 Ray it, as I would not want to say a word that I could not verify. Mr. Phillips then said: "Tho next day after the Tribune came out with an editorial pressing an investigation, I called to see Mr. I.an-nan myself at the Tribune office, but he was not in. 1 found him at the new building, and after he showed mu through it I asked him: " 'What in tho name of heaven is tho matter between you and Louis?' "He tried to explain tho article away by saying that it was meant for Louis' protection. 'There was,' ho said, 'con-siderable buzzing around about the of-fice not being run right, and he wanted to bring the thing around in favor of Louis.' He then told mo that Louis had not only taken an interest in Tiik Timks but was going about soliciting others to take stock in the paper. "I told him I knew nothing about what Louis had to do with Tiie'J imk.s." "He then said he found no fault with the office (recorder's) giving other papers some of the printing, but didn't think Louis did right by tho Tribune, as The Timks was hitting it (the Tri-bune) some pretty bard licks." The next day he (Mr. Lannan) met me. He asked "What news?" I said "you are sacrificing Louis." He said something w hen I replied: "They are going to ask for his resigna-tion." Patrick Lannan then said: "I wori.p AllVIsK VlU! TO TF.I.I, I.OI1S TO WITH-DHA-KHOM Til 15 TlMK'S " "I then saw where the shoe pinched," said Mr. Phillips, and he turned on his heel and went away. Mr. Phillips was given to understand plainly as inferences could be made that if Louis Hyams sold his stock in Tiik Timks the Tribune would keep quiet. Nothing could bo plainer. The righteous orgr.n that with such a saintly air claims such great credit for demanding an investigation was ready to call off the dogs of war and become, by its silence, an accomplice to the defalcation if thore was any and if there was none to play the role of blackmailer by its insinuations that a defalcation existed. Just after the house had gone into ses-sion one of the tnemlx rs w as heard to complain to another that it was an out-rage that the governor had called on them to assemble at noon, and ending w ith the words, "I am accustomed to eat at this time of day The Outlook Today. BoUE City. Idaho, Dec. 11. Spccia to Tn k Times. j The Dubois men will make a determined effort to get votes on the senatorial question before ad-journment this afternoon. They claim to be ready for the light. The north is, however, not yet sure of its position. The legislature this morn-ing stands as follows: Dubois, 18; Shoup, 10; Claggett, 8; McCouue.ll, ti; Delamar, 2. Unless some new combi-nation is formed, Hie first ballot will show that result. Indications point toJDiibois and Clag-gett as the lucky meu ami every effort is being made to combine their strength. Both factious, however, are indepen-dent and both claim that their strength is necessary to elect any one. Tho Du-bois men will never ' ote for McConnell and that practically leaves him out of the race. The attempt to combine tho Dubois and Claggett factions last evening, however, resulted in a disagreement but it will probably be accomplished beforo the first vote is takeu. The only hope left for the Shoup men is the scheme to elect three senators at once. They propose to allow the long term to one of the southern men, the other two to draw for who goes out on March 4th next. Dubois and Claggett do not, however, favor this scheme ami will scarcely consent. The demqeratic ten will make a strong effort to hold their voto together, in the hope that an occasion will arise which will give them control of the situation. It is almost certain that a vote will be had today or tomorrow as delay can now do no one any good. I- - THE STATK0F IDAHO Some of the More Important Mittors to i be Acted Upon by the Legislature. v " 1 THE SENATORIAL FIGHT FIRST i Then Comes the Tug-of-W- ar over the Di vision of Bingham CountyWhere . Will the Capital Go. ' i , ' Boise Citv, Dec. 11. Special to The I- Times. One of the important matters that will come up before tho legislature I just as soon as the senatorial tight is ended will be the division of Bingham t eoun'y. This is one of the larger and, at tho same time, most populous eoun-- ; ties in the state. It is proposed to di- - vide it on a line drawu east and west i about midway between Eagle Hock and i Pocalello. This subject has brought I three strong lobbies to the capital, one ' from each of the towns of Bhickfoot, "( J Eagle Hock and Pocatcllo. The two I latter are working for the division and ihe former against it. lilackfoot does f j not want to loose the capital, and, if tl the d ivisiou takes place, it is sure to, jp the capital towns of the two counties ! being located at Pocatello and Eaglo & Kock. j This legislature will also have to se ll leet a location for the new agricultural college. Nearly every town in the slate has a representative here to look out for its interests. Every town wants I it, but at the present time three places seem to lead in the race; they are Idaho Falls. Blackfoot nn l Mountain Home, ft Bluckfoot will, however, hardly get it, as it already has tho state insauo asylum. Judge Beattio, who is a candidate for the position of United States judge for the district of Idaho, is one of the men in the city now who are working quiet-ly but at the same time with energy to bring about tho dejoiit of Hon. Fred T. Dubois for United States senator. Tho judge and Dubois hate each other like poison, and Beattie knows that if ho does not get his appointment before Dubois' election, or defeat Dubois, his name is "Dennis." The judge has J sent on his papers io Washington and '1 his friends are doing all they can to I rush through the appointment. If, however, it does not come beforo tho election of Dubois, it is sure to bo hung I up, Mr. Dubois' has a candidate for I the nosition in the person of Littleton .1 Price, now a member of the lower I lionso from Alturas county, who will I undoubtedly get the place if Dubois is a elected. I Not a few amusing Incidents are no- - ticed in connectiotiWith tho legislative ; . assembly. This morning one of the Biembers from one of the northern I ' x . vounlies was in the lobby of the Uvor- - land hotel. . There, is an elaborate nickel-in-the-sl- machine which tells i Vour weight, height, lifting capacity, lung power, etc. Tho northern law I maker mistook it for a ilock, and ad-- I justing his glasses, stepped in front of I tho machine anil taking ut his watch carefully set it. I wonder what kind of 3 time he got? 1 Lieutenant Governor Willey makes 1 an excellent presiding officer in the j senate. He occupied a similar position I as president of the territorial legisla- - 1 live assembly. He has already proven I himself equal to any emergency that i arise iu tho lino of bis duties as presid- - I ing officer. j Opening of the r.rRlnlature. Boise City, Dec. 1 1. Special to The S Timks. J Tho scene at the opening of 1 the legislature was of more than usual I interest. The house is composed of men who promise to be workers. They are, with one exception, ranchers, 1 miners, and artisans. The single ex- - ccption is Mr. Price, who is a ' lawyer. The speaker of the house, Frank A Fenn, promises to bo a capable officer, and to push business right along. Mr. Feun was born in California, but moved to Idaho in 112. His first home was in "Florence. In 1M! ho entered tho naval academy at Annapolis. He was a mem-ber of the Fourteenth session of tho ter-ritorial legislature, and served with such marked ability, not only as a member on tho lloor, but as a presiding officer on several occasions when tho house was in committee of the whole, that ho was acknowledged the best parliamentarian in lhat session of the legislature. He is a mason and also belongs to tho grangers and the order of the red cross. Hois engaged in merchandizing and sheep raising and is extremely popular. His father, S. S. F'cnn, represented tho territory of Idaho in congress from '7(5 to '80. M:'. Fenn is an able man and is sure to mako a good presiding officer. Dr. W. W. Watkins of Moscow, is one of the prominent figures at tho capital. The doctor is working hard orMcCounell. Another object of the j doctor's visit to the capital is the forma- - I tion of a state board of health. He has I already talked with a number of people 1 In the matter and has been promised ; their t A good sign-o- ne that promises well I for the usefulness of the present session 5 of the legislature is that the fact that ! when on Monday at noon when the roll was called in both senate and house, i every member wa9 found in his seat I and answered to his name when the I first vote was takeu. The first division in the house oc-curred on Monday afternoon on a mo- - tion to vote bv ' ballot for chief clerk. The ballot won'hy a narrow majority, ! and the fact that'one member refused to vote gave Mr. Keed a majority of those present and voting, on eighteen 5 votes cast for him. : Hon H Z. Burkhart. of Hailcy. who was speaker of the last territorial legis-lature and wiio called the present legis-lature to order, was a notable figure in ! the house. He is a big man, and a handsome man at that, lie has an open face and a voice that is lirm and distinct. There is scarcely as nno a looking man iu the present house The fact that many members of the house are artisans was evidenced by a rulbtr curious incident on Monday, i OKA STILL IfLNT The Police Committee Start Forth to the Jungles with Scalping Knives Well Eharpenbd. , . k A RAILWAY THIEF IU COURT.

"Who is your husband?" enquired the sergeant in melodramatic tones at he looked into the dark continent that had suddenly ushered itself into bis pres-ence. "Mr. (ioodyear; Mr. Jim Goodyear, ah, lisped the Sencgainbian sorceress, theidylic creature who ga.ed plead-ingly into his upturned eyes.

' This dialogue that war) liable to lead to interesting disclosures was interrup-ted by the approaching troop of male-factors, among whom was the distin-guished gentleman whom the Queen of Xight was seeking. "Plead guilty man!" shrieked Mrs. Colonel (ioodyear as she threw a shiner over the clerk's desk and with vegal scorn swept with his repenteut lordship from the chamber. ICobbed the Kailwar, Billy Burns was caught coquetting with tho law yesterday and fined $00 and costs by tho United States commis-sioner before whom he was arraigned. The defendant was arrested in Parleys canyon on Sunday last on a charge of stealing from the Utah Central railway, a corporation that has. it is alleged, been made the victim of a steady and high-hande- d drainage of an or-ganized band of guerrillas who infest tho country through which it operates. Sheriff Burt has had tho case in hand for some time and the arrest of Burns will very likely lead to others if it does not result in the capture of the entire gang. In making an invoice a short time ago it was ascertained that within tno past few years merchandise of the value of about $.")0,000 had been filched from the road, 8nd while there is no direct evidence as to the identity of the perpetrators, a wilderness of tin car.s betrays the fact that unblushing robbery has been going on. Tolice Tic kings. Two revolvers that were recently stolen from Schade's saloon by Shorty Brown and Kid Bray have been recov-ered by Officer Parker. One was found in the possession of Bray's brother, while tho other had been cached be-neath the steps leading to the basement of theTivoli saloon. The outlook for the prisoners is critical. A fellow giving his name as Jack Fat was arrested last night for stealing a silver fork from a Main street restaur-ant. He pleaded not guilty this morn-ing and was allowed time to secure counel beforo going on trial. There were three drunks and a vag to plead before his houor this morning.

Which Parnell Wields with a Heavy Hand ob the H iads of His Opponents, Dt Bi.iN, Dec. 11. The struggle for tho possession of 'United Ireland" as-sumed a new phase this morning against Parnell. The opponents of Par-nell who succeeded last night in forc-ing an entrance into the office and de-stroying all the leaders prepared by Leamy. who was appointed yes-terday to succeed Bodkin, the acting manager during tho absence of William O'Brien. They left a guard in possession with orders to resist any attempt of Parnell or his friends to en-ter tho building. This morning Parnell proceeded to the office and, with the assistance of a crowd of his supporteis, forced open the doors and too possession. The police "vitnesscd the affair, but did not interfere. After ho had suc-ceeded in recapturing the office, Parnell went to the window and addressed the crowd outside. After the ollicc was taken Parnell ap-peared nt one of the windows of the office, shouting that he would tight the battle to the last; that ho only will al-low the country to decide the issue, and that he would submit to the dicta-tion of no man. He appeared to be lierecly excited, and to have lost his usual self control. When, in company with MclJangli, solicitor for tho na-tional league, he drove to the railway station to take tho train for Cork, crowds lined tho streets, and tho win-dows and houses were filled with spectators. He was loudly cheered. To guard against any further at-tempt of his opponents to recapture the office the doors anil windows have been barred. When tho office was se-cured against intruder all conversa-tion with outsiders was carried on through the key hole. When Parnell made his assault upon the office this morning ho was armed with a crow bar, which he used iu forcing the front door. GlAftNtMiu on rarnctl. London', Dec. 11. --Gladstone arrived today at Retford depot and addressed a meeting of 2,000 persons. He said the continuance of Parnell in leadership would be fatal t ) home rule in England, Scotland and Wales. Parnell was no longer the leader of tho Irish nation-alists, who had seperated themselves from him. He (Gladstone) admitted that the Irish party ought to be independent, that the consideration and settlement of this question ought to be left to them; but there was something beyond all considerations in Irish politics, namely the great cause of liberalism in En-gland, Ireland and Scotland. The trouble respecting tho Irish leadership was an additional reason for .l.i.n..i.i.f.i. ....... Wh.vir uo.t.i.r...i.t.,.. (..l.i.r.. English and tho Scotch and tho Welsh politics depend upon tho choice of tho issue of a leader. Con-fidential communications between the liberal and home rule parties and a conversation with Parnell at n in November, ItH'J, ho said were equally satisfactory to both part-ies. That fact was provided by himself because he had tio reason publicly to speak about it but by tho other party, and ho believed that tho O'Shea divorce proceedings would entirely destroy the moral force needed in Ireland for any one who would be the leading champion of na-tional causes. The. liberals felt that in granting home rule they constituted an Irish constitutional ruler of Ireland. The Liberals were unwilling after what had appeared in the divorce court relative to the private and public con-duct of Parnell to make him constit governor of Ireland. It was absolutely untrue that Morley had suggested that Parnell hold office under the British crown before homo rulo was coneeeded. The liberal party's work in parliament was to resist coercion in Ireland, and that work was as urgent now as it had ever beeen. no matter who might be leader of tho Irish cause. Gladstone subsequently addressed an audience of oOOO persons at the work shop. Ho said: Tljo determination of tho liberals was irrevocable, they could not undertake to effectually support the cause of home rulo at the next elec-tion in connection with one particular name. He pojnted out the importance of continuing the struggle for Ireland, declaring legislation for England could not be obtained until tho country had got rid of tho home rule questiou.

To m Times Roportnr Ho l'lr Hlmnrir la Lin with llirriioii, Ktnutor JSiliuanil mid .luiig Andrii. A ponderous man with a ponderous niind, though contracted by strong pre-judice, is Joseph Cook, the noted Bos-ton Monday lecturer who is to speak tonight in the Presbyterian church in this city. In a polemic with the re-doubtable Bob Ingnrsoli tho latter once said of him, "he should have become what his father designed him to be, a Cook." In the face he closely resem-bles tho late Brigham Voting, though he lacks the latter' 'fine, contour. In speech Mr. Cook is fluent', eloquent and impressive, heightened by a leonine bearing. Ilo has been around the world and is brimful of information, which he knows woll how to impart, although he lacks somewhat in magnet-ism. Still his success in IK stun as a successful lecturer for so many years shows that ho is a man of superior metal. When asked by a Timks reporter how ho stood on tho disfranchisement question he said that he stood with President Harrison's declaration that tho men who believe polygamy is right should not have tho power to make it lawful. "My ideas," he contin-ued, "are tho same as those of Judge Anderson, and I believe he should be supported. I think your best minds agree with him." Ho gave as his reason for this conclu-sion interviews he had w ith a largo number of representative men and women he had met since coming to tho city. When asked if ho thought it would be safe to admit Utah into the union with the majority of its people dis-franchised, he said: "It would be a very doubtful expe-dient, and might cause bloodshed." When asked for his reason for doubt-ing the sincerity of the manifesto ho rolled his eyes skyward and said: "We Germans have an eleventh com-mandment which reads, 'Thou shalt not suffer thyself to be hoodwinked.'" Mr. Cooks holds to the theory that tho leopard cannot change his spots and yet ho expects to perform this pro-cess by congressional enactment. The force of his opinion on the Mor-mon question is weakened by the f;ict that he talks of many things on second-hand information. He endeavors to pose as an authority on Utah affairs without investigating them in person. He claims, however, that the endow-ment house oaths are taken as much as ever; that the power of life and death rests with the priesthood; that state-hood would pcrp"tuato that power, and that a republican form of government is incompatible with the "Mormon ma-chine."

Brown, nun of the portly ten-ants of the Wasatch block, and Mrs. Jane (Jrcen of 45 Franklin avenue, foil before the unerring aim and vigilance of Deputy United States Marshal Can-non today, and were richochetted Into the stern presence of Commissioner (ireenruan on a charge of adultery. The star actor was held for examination in the sum of $1000, and his alleged con-sort in tho sum of $.'00, both of whom furnished bonds for their appearance. Tho legend as unfolded by Miss Assnlia Green, a sister who is ap-parently determined to avenge the al-leged sin against a brother who is at present getting his refreshments at the penitentiary, is full of sensational de-tails. A year ago Sheriff Burt took up arms against tho Carter confederacy of horse thieves, who were terrorizing the stockmen in the valley, and among others who were captured was Ernest (ireen. a desoerato criierill.i who ivua prepared to fact death at any time for a thoroughbred yearling. Green was convicted and sentenced to a term of three years in the penitenti-ary. Mrs. Green was present when the penalty was imposed and wept a copious weep that trickled all tho way down the collar of his flannel shirt. This exhibition of inalienable devotion doubtless lightened the clouds that overhung his desolate pathway and (ireen met his fate with lighter heart. Time went on with steady pace. Two children were ripening into ma-turity and looked forward to tho time when papa would issue from his con-fines a better man. Miss Aalia ap-pears in the left wing of the stage, however, and Invokes the vengeance of the law. She has discovered, accord-ing to her own allegations, that a lia-so- n was agreed to by Mr. Green and Mr. Browu, the result of which is asserting itself with more emphasis as each day passes into history. She swears that there are premonitions of an approaching accouchement at Mrs. (ireen's residence, and that Brown, whom it is said, claims to have bypen-ate- d the business of real estate broker with that of detective, is the proud in-ventor of the delicate event. Accord-ingly she went before the commissioner and swore out a warrant charg-ing them with adultery. At the time tho warrant was issued Brown had absented himself from the city and on his return was gobbled up together with the womr.n in the case. The examination will take place on Monday when some spicy de-velopments w ill be provided. SHOOK THE TOWN. THE SENSATIONAL DEPARTURE OF A FROMER EXPRESS CLERK.

Craig, for-merly employed nt the Denver & Kio Grande Express office in this city had forged a check for $00 that, was passed on an obscure grocery house at the corner of West Temple and Fourth South, under the signature of J. H. Simpson. The matter was promptly taken up by tho authorities, but the perpetrator, it was ascertained at his boarding house, had taken his departure at 3 o'clock yesterday morniug in company with a young woman of 18 years whom he repre-sented as his wife. Craig seems to have been quite a mystery. When asked, according to old established customs, to furnish tho express company with a biographical sketch and to lay bare the legend of his past lifo he flatly re-fused, assigning as a reason that that was a matter in which no man had a right to inquire. This did not satisfy tho requirements of the express company, and his resignation was called for. Craig was not slow in handing it in, and securing the money on a forged check, ho and the woman ho represents as his lawful mate took their departure for more congenial climes. The twain have about thirty hours tho start of the authorities, and there is little hope of intercepting them. CONGRESSIONAL. SKNATK. Washington, Dec. 11. Mr. Mitchell offered a resolution (which was agreed to) instructing the postollice committee to inquire iuto the feasibility and advis-ability of a law for postal savings banks iu connection with all or certain classes of postollieos throughout the country. The resolution offered yesterday for a daily meeting of the senate at 11 o'clock a. m., and recesses from 5 to 8:110 p. m. were taken up. The discus-sion was kept up amid considerable ex-citement on the lloor and iu tho galler-ies until 2 o'clock when it went over without action. The election bill was then taken up and Wilson, of Iowa, addressed the senate iu its advocacy. IIOl.'SR. Washington, Doc. II. After some unimportant business the house went into committee of the whole on the for-tification appropriation bill. Tho bill was agreed to without dis-cussion and the committee having risen tho bill passed together with a bill ap-propriating $40,000 to meet tho defi-ciency iu the appropriation for public printing and binding. Tho committee on banking aud cur-rency today adopted a resolution to re-quest the house to set apart a day for the consideration and disposition of Chairman Dorsey's bill to reduce to $1000 the minimum amount of United States bonds which a national bank shall be required to keep on deposit, and to permit the issue of circulating notes by national banks to the full amount, par value, of tho bonds de-posited. This would, it is said, increase the amount of money in circu-lation by SIH.OOO.OOO and would result in a free issue of national bank notes. When the bill comes up in the house Chairman Dorsey will move an amend-ment to provide for the issue of green-backs whenever the national bank cir-culation falls below $1X5,000,000.
