Geo. A. Schele, Of Post Cwur d'Alene
called upon us Saturday and reports that
prospectors are still travelling back and
| forth in large numbers. Mr.. s. and three
others have taken up the only hay ranch
on st. Mary's river and the town site OF
| st, Joseph, on the river Of that name, at
the rapids. Fine mineral prospects have
been unearthed, and in all probability st.
Joe will see grand boom in a few weeks.
A large merchandising house is about to
be established there. Glenn Kings steamer

Mrs. NJ. L. Robinson, who has located
at the corner Of Howard and Sprague
streets, has just received one Of the largest
and most complete assortments Of millin-
cry goods ever opened in the city. Her
coy sales room is literally packed with
those pretty decorative articles that go ia
beautify the exterior Of woman, all OF
which have been selected with great care
and with the aim Of suiting the ladies.
Mrs. Robinson is determined not to be
undersold, and the prices are marked
down lower than ever before. The ladies
Of the city should call carly and make
their selections.
Among the bills Of indictment brought
in by the Grand Jury OF this county dur.
ing the session was one against c. G.,
Bradshaw and Swecny 4 Linden. This
is the outgrowth Of the transaction that
caused the failure Of II. J. Blown q Co.,
last fall. We have learned no particulprs
in regard to the indictment, but the entire
history OF the case will probably be venti,
lated when ii comes to trial. Col. Brad,
shaw has been confined to his bed with
sickness for a week or more, and Mcssrs

Ben. b. Bravinder, an old Spakaneite
who has been spreading himself over the
Eastern States for several months, dropped
in upon us Friday. Mr.. Bravinder has
not changed any, the same old pleasant
smile that roasted perpetuallv upon his

great and wonderful transformation in
the city, however. 1t had stretched out far

The financial officers of the department say
certain items included in the estimate OF the
present fiscal year (such as compensation to
postmasters and railroad transportation), the
amounts of which, arbitrarily fixed by law,
were reduced by congress in the postofice APP
preparation bill to the extent of several million
dollars, thus making an apparent difference
between the appropriations for the present
year and the estimates for next year consider
ably larger than it would be under normal cir
cumStanceS.

the free delivery service shows an increase OF

STANDING OF THE ARMY.

AS Set Forth in the annual Report Of Lieut.
Gen. Sheridan.
The annual report of Lieutenant General
Sheridan has been made, covering the period
from his assignment to the command of the
army, November 1st, 1888, to November 1st,
1884. He says during this time the entire ter
ritory under the supervision of troops has
been unusually free from collisions, resulting
in loss of either life or property. but the SER
vices of the military in the west cannot be
safely dispensed with for many years to come.
The lieutenant general expresses great inter-
est in the national guard OF the states, and
tn INKS congress should designate the number
of men each state should have, and provide
for them arms and camps and garrison equi-
page, under some wise method of accounta-
bility for this property, whenever the state
governments themselves appropriate substan-
tial sums OF money for the support of their
respective military systems, in such a man.
ner that these sums cannot be effected by
party legislation. Excepting for our ocean
does not think we should be much alarmed
about the probability of wars with foreign
powers, since it would require more than a
million and half of men to make cam
paign upon land against us. To transport
from beyond the ocean that number of sol
diers, with all their munitions of war, their
cavalry, artillery and infantry, even if not
mOested by us whilst in transit, would de-
mand large part of the shipping of ali Eu-
rope. He earnestly invites immediate atten-
ton TO the defenceless condition of the sea-
board cities, and urgently recommends the
early beginning of a general system of sea
coast Notifications to be constructed in ac-
cOrdance with the requirements involved by
the latest improvements in heavy artillery.
''Ths nation" he says, "s growing so rapidly
that there are signs of other troubles which L
hope will not occur. and which will probably
not come upon US if both capital and labor
will only be conservative, still, it should lie
remembered that destructive eypo ives are
easily made, and that banks, the United States

mercantile h uses can be readily demolished

POLITICAL NOTES.

Blaine's plurality in Pennsylvania is about
5000.
The official vote of Mississippi is-Cleveland
Is, 437, Blaine 42,774.
Late, but incomplete figures place the First
congressional district of California in doubt.
Corothers, republican, leads by 120.
The official vote of the state of Delaware
gives Cleveland 1854, Blaine 12,7TS, st. John
55, Butler 6. The temperance legislative vote
is 1,549.
Monsignor Capel delivered before the Young
Mems Hebrew club at New York an abridg-
ment of his address on Patriotism as given
at the cathedral. In the course of his re-
marks he said it was bad side of our election
that it showed our attempts to pull down the
character of men who were to rule us.
The election is still doubtful in Washington
territory, but the chances favor Voorhees,,
democrat for delegate to congress. The only
issue between the parties was that Of rail-
roads. The democrats and disaffected repub-
licans demanded the forfeiture of the land
grant which lapsed over seven years ago.
Voorhees, estimated majority is about 5000.
The present estimate as to the complexion
of the Illinois state legislature is that it will
be a tie on joint ballot, the senate having a
majority of one republican, and the house a
majority of one democrat. Contests are like
ly to ensue in three districts, which may re-
verse this condition of affairs. The situation
is made more interesting from the fact that
successor to Gen. Logan is to be selected.
Forty three of the eighty counties in Michi-
gan report official Blaine pluralities of 1885,
and fusion pluralities of $3.50. The remain
ing counties are evenly divided between the
fusionists and republicans. The plurality
given in figures so far reported will be cut
down to between 1900 and 5000. The con-
gressional delegation stands seven fusionists
and one republican.
