MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING.
Dolph's Smelling Committee Will
ing to Abandon Its Task.

WASHINGTON, March 12.-The out
come of the DOlph secret session investi-
CATION has not been foreshadowed very
clearly yet, but the opinion is beginning
to prevail that when the committee
makes report on the fruitiess result of
its examination of senators and en-
plOyes of the senate the whole matter
will be dropped. Mr.. Dolph's footing
has been very slippery for some time.
and it appears now that he will not
have majority of the senate to back
him when the resolution to punish the
newspaper correspondents for contempt
comes to final vote. The outcome of
the matter will probably be the dis
cussiOn, with open doors, of the prOpo-
sition to discontinue the practice
of considering nominations in
secret session. Mr.. Ingalls, proposition
to appoint committee of conference to
bring about an amicable agreement with
the newspaper men is regarded with a
great deal of favor on the floor. 1t is
hardly practicable, however. as no COM
mittee of Washington correspondents
would have the authority to bind the
newspapers of the country to refrain
from publishing any particular class of
news. Several senators will present the
argument III the senate that it is safe to
trust to the nice discrimination of the
newspapers as to what is proper to pub
lish. A senator who is much interested
in the subject said to reporter to-day:
"In the whole course Of my experience
l have not seen fact published con-
cerning our executive proceedings, the
disclosure of which could do the Slight
est harm. Frequently there have been
discussions in secret session, the publ
cation of which might have done harm
to persons whose nominations were
under consideration, but | have never
seen them repeated in the press. Think
doors during the consideration of nOmi-
nations, with the provision that where
necessity demands the doors may be

AN ENEMY OF IDAHO.
Mansur Objects to Its Admission
TO statehood.

WASHINGTON. March 12.-RepreSent-
ative Mansur, of Missouri, on behalf OF
the minority of the committee on terri
tories, has filed report presenting OBJ
jections to the passing of the bill for
the admission of Idaho, now pending in
the house. In part, the report says:
The precise point of difference between
the majority and the minority is this:
That the majority assent to and approve
of provision which depriveS a citizen
of the right of suffrage, diSqualifies him
from holding Office. and prevents him
from serving on jurieS for GRIM
inal conduct imputed to him
when he mas not been convicted
OF such criminal conduct: while the
minority insist that no citizen, being
otherwise qualified, shall be deprived of
these rights and privileges on account
of alleged crime, unless he has been
convicted of such crime by some court
of competent jurisdiction, and where
the penalty for such crime, or part
thereof, is such disqualification. The
minority, while reprehending, as much
as any of the majority can reprehend.
the otfenses of bigamy and polygamy,
and the aiding and abettlng of such Of
fenSes, most respectfully submit TO the
house that man who is accused of
bigamy is as much entitled to trial
for that offense as is man who is
charged with any other offense,
murder, arson, larceny, etc.; that a
man who is accused of belonging to an
association that encourages these
otfenses is entitled to have trial as to
such accusation. A man VINO is accused
of aiding and abetting the offense of
blgamy and polygamy, as an American
citizen ought to have the right to have
his guilt of that offense. if it is ever
made an offense, determined by jury
according to the forms of law. We in
slst, therefore, that when Idaho is ad-
mitted it shall not be with provision
in the constitution which deprives a
citizen of the right of suffrage, of the
right to serve on juries and to hold
Office, because of alleged crime of which
the parLY has not had been convicted
