IIousk or Rkpkksrntativks
Washington April 1 '03
Editor Dally Leader: I am receiv
ing almost dally lottors of Inquiry as
to tho BtatUB of the freo homes bill and
our prospects for an extension of pay
ment should it fill. I take this
method in Tho Lsador of advising all
at once.
Wo havo llttlo hope of a favorablo
agrcoinont from tho conferoneo com-
mittee. However tho scnato will voto
down an adverse report and a now
committee will bo appointod and they
too will bring In a similar report and
S3 on until a oompromiso will be ef-
fected whloh I fear will bo against ua
but should it be so wo havo a provision
on tho Indian bill extending tho pay-
ments another year and to this there
is no objection.
Having some fears lest tho Indian
bill should bo hung up In conforenco
until tho present extension expires
I wont to Hon. Plnger Hermann com-
missioner of pub'le lends and laid tho
matter before him and ho atsurcB mo
potltlvoly that ho will protect tho sot-
lien; that ho will direct tho local land
offices to accept no filings for contest
on tho grounds of non-payment until
congress shall dotcrmino tha matter
one way or tho other.
Thero scorns to be somo difference of
opinion between tho local land c filters
as to when our present oxtemion
expiree. Mr. Hermann aftor a careful
investigation decided that our present
extonsion reaches to Juno 7 next. Tho
day tho till gos into effect our pooplo
may rest assured that thoy will not bo
disturbed; but all should bear in mind
that this docs not apply to final proof
which should bo mado accordicg to
tho original homestead law.
Respectfully

Washington April 5. While no of-
fer of mediation hits been made by
Pope Leo X11I to the 1'nited Stales
nine the Vatican nevor inltintos
n tender of Its servtoes ns
mediator or arbitrator ntul this
conn try has nindo no suoh
request there is little doubt that tho
unofllaltil representations 'have been
mnde as to tho deep interest felt
by tho popo in the preservation
of ponoe. There is reason to
belle vo however thnt the pope's
Influences aro bolng oxortod inueh
more dlroctly and with greater c fleet
at Madrid than at Washington l'opo
Leo is tho godfather of Alphouso
XIII tho young Icing of Spall and
l'opo Pius IX was the god f a tho r
of Alphonso XII tho late king of
Spain. This indicates tho great in-
fluence which tho Vatican exorcises
over the Spanish dynasty tho roy til
family and tho country nt largo being
largely Catholic
It is duo no doubt to this iufiuunco
that the pope would bo most
active in Inducing Spain to mnko
overy concession posslblo toward
tho maintenance of penco. Further-
mora it is known officially that tlicso
Influences are being exorted ut tho
prosant moment and that they prom-
ise to bo productlvo of results.

Tho caso of David T. Hughep In-
dicted for tho murder of Ulrich
Jenkins In tho suburbs of tho city in
March 1HUS was begun in district
court yesterday. It will bo remem-
bered Joukius was found dead in a
"draw" oast of town. Tho murdered
man was en routo to town with a load
of wood when waylaid. Owing to a
dlftlculty between Hugnesand Jenkins
suspicion pointed to liugnes ana no
was arrested. Tho territory will en-
deavor to provo that Hughes was intl-
inato with tho wifo of tho murdered
man; that ho foared Jonklns waB about
to cause his arrest that ho waylaid
and shot him to avoid exposure
Hughes was married shortly after tho
murder. Jenkins' son was a frequent
visitor at his homo and they wore on
good terms until Hughes became bub-
piclous that young Jenkins connected
him with hiB father's death.
Tho prosecution will show that
Huskies at tbo timo ho shot at Jenkins
aud hit his wife claims ho caught
them in a compromising position. All
these charsres tho defense will en
deavor to disprovo by an alibi.
Johnson vs. Hendorson demurrer to
tint former's petition sustained.
Heaven vs. Oliver demurrer to
Roavcs' patition sustained.
Matthews vs. Illttorbuacb demurrer
to petition overruled and in this caso
tho court holds that tho "raiso" of
