1t Will Not 10 to Washington this SEES.
! sisa- Delegate Dubois's Good Work
on this Question.
The bill to annex the four
northern counties included in the
Panhandle of Idaho to Washington
Territory came up in the Senate last
Monday. 1t was fought at every
step by Senator Cullom, of Illinois,
supported by a strong letter from
Hon. Fred. 7. Dubois, and as it be-
came evident that the bill could not
pass Senator Stewart resorted to
6libustering in order to save it from
being rejected. 1t is probable that
it will not be again called up at this
session.
While Senator Cullom led the de-
bate in opposition to the bill, Mr..
Dubois is really deserving of the
credit of having prevented its pas.
sage. In his letter to Senator
Henderson, which was read in open
Senate aud which would occupy at
least four columns of the TIMES, Mr..
Dubois showed, by indisputable facts
and figures
Firstly-That Washington Terri.
tory is large enough already, contain
ing 69,1S0 square miles, or 2,7l6
more than all the New England
States combined.
Secondly-That while Idaho has
$4,000 square miles the area of desert
and mountain surface is much
greater than in Washington.
Thirdly-That the four northern
counties comprise an area of nearly
$4,000 square miles, or little more
than the State OF West Virginia.
| Fourthlv - That no insuperable
geographical obstacles exist to the
easy intercourse of the two sections,
as alleged; and that what barriers do
exist will soon fall and disappear
owing to the building of railways.
Fifthly-That most of the noun.
famous regions of the United States
are included within States like Yer
mont, Pennsylvania, New York,
Nevada, Colorado, Arizona and New
Mexico, and do not constitute bound
aries except in Montana, the
Virginas, North Carolina and Tennes-
see.
Sixthly---That the pioneers of Idaho
are the peers OF any OF those who
have laid tho foundations Of New
States.
Seventlly-The segregation of a
Territory, for which no precedent ex.
lists in our history, would set a
dangerous example that might lead
to the obliteration Of the smaller
States.
Eighthly-That while two thirds Of
the Republic, with only twelve
States, lie west of the Mississippi
} twenty-six States are embraced If
the one-third that lies east of it.
Ninthly-That the lack of prece
dent in the first century of our ex
istence as nation is very remarkable
and due to statesmaElike reasons.
Tenthly-That Nevada, having al
area of ll0,700 square miles, most o
which is desert, already has superb
) bundance of that kind of land; ant
that the real bar to its progress is tn
! general absenteeisim of those VIII
have successfully wooed the 6ckl
> goddess Fortune within her borders
And, finally-That the census o
1890 will show that Idaho will b
I entitled to admission to Statehood
and that the segregation of the Pan
handle would postpone that desir
able condition for many years.

Pacific Railroad Reports.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 4.-General John
son, commissioner of railroads, in his
annual report to the secretary of the inte-
rior, states that railroads south of the
Union and Central Pacific and east of
California have been inspected during the
year by Hazard, engineer of the office.
The COMMISSIONS inspected the Union
and Central Pacific and all roads in Cali
fornia and Oregon connected with the
latter and those in Washington territory.
These roads," the commissioner adds,
ARE all in a very satisfactory condition.
They were well built originally and have
been kept in excellent order since steel
rails have been substituted for iron almost
everywhere.
An examination OF the books and ac.
coun of the subsidized companies, name
ly, the Union Pacific, Central Pacific,
Sioux City 4 Pacific and the Central
branch of the Union Pacific, was made
oy w. NJ. Thompson, assistant book
keeper, and j. skemper, clerk. 1t in
Guided a comparison of the reports of the
companies made to the commissioners
with their books and accounts, and no
errors or discrepancies were detected. The
report shows that on Dec. 81, 1887, the
Union Pacific had disposed OF IL, 944, ISL
acres of land, the total cash receipts from
all sales amounting to 500, 395, 255; re-
mainder outstanding on account of time
sales, $l3, 53S, 86l; average price Der acre
for all sales, 1888 for the Union division,

to-day the senate bill was passed provid-
ing that the secretary OF the treasury may
permit the use of petroleum as fuel on
steamers not carrying passengers without
a certificate of the supervising inspector of
the district where such vessels are to be
used.
Burnes of Missouri then called up the
conference report on the general deficiency
appropriation bill. The amendment ap-
gropriating $4,000 for the Industrial
Home Association of Utah gave rise to a
long political discussion. The conference
report was then rejected in order to enable

language providing for an investigation of
the Washington aqueduct matter so as to
enlarge the scoop of the inquiry. The
house then adjourned.

New Knocked Out.

lbtINtE NtNhl
John G. New of the Indianapolis (Ind.)
Journal, has been enjoying the balmy air
of Colorado for two or three days past.
He left his native heath to escape the
falling Harrison boom set aloat by Jim
Blaine some time Ago.. New has been
shooting off an adulterated article of Har-
risonism during his stay, in an endeavor
to buoy up the waning spirits of the Coop
er-Londoner Townsend political circus
now exhibiting throughout this state. He
found the boys sort of laughing like, and
he has been visiting the side shows of the
Republican circus trying to stiffen the
spinal vertebra Of the few spectators and
the firing performers. He has been re-
failing pointers about Indiana and the
dead sinch'' grandpa's hat has upon the
presidency. He has been telling the
spectators to put up their money on the
heir to %grandpa's towering tile.
When asked by some of the performers
If he really meant it, he said he would
back his opinion with his money, but he
didn't care to take any Jim crow bets.
What he was looking for was a man with
a bank or a bundle. Pulled up with an
vanity, anu leellnR secure mat
he had screwed the courage of the gang to
the betting point, he strobe through the
Windsor corridors yesterday afternoon.
In his stroll he was introduced to Fine
Ernest, to whom he began retailing the
rot about Harrison maiorities he had for
days peddled to the hangers on about Re-
publican side shows. New told Fine that
Harrison had a dead sure thing on the
presidency, and that on the 4th Of next
March the hand shaking heir to grandpa's
hat would take the chair now occupied by
Grover Cleveland. He mistook Fine for
a weakening Mugwump, and for a mo-
ment he had him counted.
We'll" said Mr.. Ernest, Il don't
know anything about politics, much. |
know all about bulls and steers and calves
and the roundup, but I'll tell you what
I'll do, Mr.. New, I'll Just bet you S25.-
900 that Grover Cleveland will succeed
himself"
Mr.. New shuffled u~neasily about the
rotunda for a while, stepped up to a clerk
of the hotel and asked. who IS that
MANI pointing to Fine. The clerk told
him, and the last seen of Blowhard New
he was pointing for his room.

friends. who so often before have visited
me with kind expressions of their regard,

Ohioan. Prolonged cheers from the
Ohio delegation. Three great states are
grouped here to-day. | remember when
at Resaca, when the field and staff of the
regiments that were to make the assault
were ordered to dismount. There was a
Michigan officer too sick to go on foot,
and too proud to subject himself to the
imputation of cowardice by staying be-
hind. He rode a lone one horseman in
that desperate charge, and died on that
bloody hillside rather than subject his
state to the imputation that one of her sons
had fingered. He was a noble type of a
brave man these great states gave to the
country. [Cheers.
After the speech making a large num-
Der of the visitors shook hands with Gen.
Harrison.

Another London Murder.

LONDON, Oct. A. The excitement
caused by the recenj murders of women

in course or construction. The w~atchman
called a policeman, when the man TUNED
on the Waterman and stabbed him to
death. The murderer was arrested after
a desperate struggle with the police. The
police deny the truth of the report.
