THE CONGRESSIONAL JUSKEY.
The Members Pretending to Examine Into
the Needed improvements for the Mis-.

The Members Pretending to Examine Into
the Needed Improvements for the Mis-
sissippi River.
ing Star, with the congressional committee
on improvement investigation of the Mis-
sissippi river, arrived tonight at 6 O'Clock.
They spent three hours this morning at
Plumb Point, Tenn, eighty miles above
this city, where Capt. Knight, engineer in
charge of the division, showed them over
the works already begun at that place,
which consists of dyking, piling and wal
RAISING.
The committee expressed no opin-
ion of the work, but it will be en-
bodied in their report to congress. N. H.
Hutton, chief of the Baltimore enoineers.w
accompanied the committee as consulting
engineer, will present them with report
of the work. 1t is quite apparent that the
majority of the committee are opposed to
the levee system, Ellis, of Louisiana. being
the only one to favor it.
Capt. Knight accompanied the party as
far as this city and was subjected to a rigid
examination regar ling his work and ex-
penditures. He ST tied that the work was
merely an experiment in trying to deepen
the channel, but the committee appeared
to think that such an experiment. was a
very expensive one, as Capt knight has
twenty pile drivers on the ground when he
can only use two, and has two hundred
and fifty thousand hydraulic graders which
have never been used. 1t is apparently
the purpose of the committee to thorough
ly investigate the work and expenditure of
the Mississippi river commission. The
committee will probably remain here until

VIENNA, Nov. 16.-Much alarm was
caused by an incidental remarl, in Won
Plenner's speech to the delegations. In
alluding to private information given to
the delegation by Count Kalnoki, minister
of foreign affairs, Won Plenner begged the
government not to give way
to warlike tendencies, but
to preserve the peace at any price, ex-
cept dishonesty. Itis generally thought
he alluded to the possibility of war with
Russia in the spring.

charging Dickerson with the crime of
bigamy. The case was called up the
current week, and Dickerson plead
guilty, submitting in eXtenuation the
sworn statement copied below from the
records. Judge Richardson sentenced
Dickerson to twelve months in the par

One of our up Sound exchanges
reprints an article in the Lewiston
Teller, which charges that Puget
Sound people do not want to have
northern Idaho annexed to the new
state of Washington. Never was a
grosser mistake made. The one ques-
ton of vital Importance that affects
all the residents of this territory at
the present time is the matter of a
state government. A strong fight
is being made in Congress to leave
northern Idaho out and admit us
with our present boundaries Those
best informed say that the admission
bill may be defeated altogether if we
insist on having northern Idaho an
nexed. The editor of the Teller has
long since boldly announced that he
didn't want Washington to be admit
ted unless these Idaho counties in
question could be joined with her. 1t
is safe enough to say that this is not
the sentiment of the residents of this
territory. We want northern Idaho
if possible, but we want state gov
ernment ,cithOut change of bounda-
ries rather than to longer remain as
we are-and Mr.. Brents voiced the
sentiments of his constituents when
he said that if the committee amend
ment striking out the annexation Of
northern Idaho should prevail he
would still consider it his duty to
strike for admission. In no part of
the territory is there a stronger de
sire for the annexation of northern
Idaho than on Puget Sound; in fact
we do not believe single resident on
this side of the mountains would vote
against the measure if called upon to
decide it in that way; but we must
have state government with or with
out our Idaho neighbors.

Our Territorial Prospects,

From Tuesday Daily
Governor Newell called on us today
after four months trip to the eastern
states, during which visit he had an OPP
portunity to see many persons in high
position and press Washington Terrific
rvs claims to statehood He interviewed
President Arthur, members of the Cabi-
net. Congressman, Senators, Committees
and all who would be likely to assist us
into the sisterhood of states. Every
where he found it admitted that our ter
ritory is entitled to state governments
and he thinks nothing can much longer
prevent the triumphant passage OF our
admission bili-which he thinks will
perhaps occur through sheer force Of
events during the first session Of the
next Congress.
The Governor returns very much re-
treshed, and looking greatly improved
by his journey; but he expressed hearty
satisfaction at getting home again, also
his growing donviction of the import
race of our bright prospects.

Our Next Delegate.

The more industrious of Mr.. Brent;'
workers have been assiduously en-

straw in his favor to create an i'm

proportion of the Sound and River
counties thus trying to weaken and
dishearten supporters of DIR. Minor
in the coming contest for the repub-
lican nomination for Delegate to Con
gress.

who, if he is nominated again, will

to the Dolcgntcship-whilc they are
formulating lahoriouS arguments to
convince the public that they would
be- doing right to act hoggish and
take the office 4 HiId time if possible
People may talk as they like about
scctionalism, but representatives of
the people will aS Il rule stand loyal
to candidates from their respective
localities, rs first choice. While we
believe that either Dr. Minor or Mr.,
Brcnts would. if elected, endeayor to
do full Justice to til, ,rhoie territory,
nevertheless every fair minded man
will insist ON a fair division of the
houors of political life. We have no
war to make upon Mr.. Brcnts, but we
do adhere to our claim hitherto set
forth that Puget Sound rightfully
thinks herself entitled to the nomina-
ton this year. She has a candidate
whose superior in all the qualitica
tions that 60 to make up useful and
creditable representative at Washing
ton cannot be found within our bor-
ders. A man of education and abil-
ity, an interchangeable worker, and
worthy type of our ablest representa-
tive public man, Dr. Minor could bring
his splendid abilities to bear upon the
discharge of the duties of a Congress-
man in way that would not only re-
dound to our credit but would prove
efficient in fastening the advance
mont of every material interest of our
commonwealth. We say this, not in
the spirit of adulation, but in simple
Justice to the man. The first gun for
the Doctor doomed out the other
evening in King county, when con-
vention was elected that will send a
delegation to Vancouver in his favor.
Jefferson, also, has spoken with no
uncertain sound, of course, no other
name being thought of. San Juan
county is solid in every precinct for
Minor. Clalam will elect a Minor
delegation without opposition; his
supporters will go to the convention
with solid front and just cause at
their back. The only division hith-
erto made on Puget Sound against
DR.. Minor has been through the eff
forts of one whose personal animos-
ity toward the Doctor is due to the
latter's effort to secure from the
Northern Pacific Railroad Company
fair and impartial action toward its
stockholders and Puget Sound.
