BOISE CITY. Idaho, Dec l3.-ln the sen-
ate, Senator Underwood introduced a
resolution providing for ballot 70 be
taken Saturday, the 18th. for the Un'tsd
States seLate. To this Senator Gum
offered substitute in the shape Of con-
current resolution providing for baDot
TO be taken Tuesday next at IL m. TINS
resolution was passed and will ur-
doubtedly pass the house on Monday.
The governors message was distribuied
to the appropriate committees.
Senate bill No. 8 was introduced hy
Gum TO authorize the government 20 ap-
point persons 10 offices in counties and
precincts in which the elected officers
have failed 10 qualify under the % dsy
limit OF the constitution. The bill was
claimed 10 meet an emergency. but the
senate did not so consider :,
and referred il 10 the Judiciary
killed. Several members OF the commit
tee claim that the bill is entirely wrong
and that no one should be deprived OF
the office simply because he failed 10
comply with technically made obscure
by the change in the act Of admission,
which provides that county officers shall
enter upon the discharge of their duties
on the second Monday OF January, while
the constitution provides that they shall
qualify and enter upon their duties
within 10 days from the time
of the declaration OF the election. In
many counties the newly elected officers
have failed TO qualify and the attorney
general decides that they lose their Of
fees.
II is said that Governor Shoup is OPP
posed to the bill, as is also a majority Of
the judiciary committee.
Senate bill four, relating 10 the holding
Of terms Of the supreme court was read
and referred 10 the judiciary committed.
Senate bill five by Underwood, relating
10 the militia was introduced and re.
ferred. II appropriates 5000 for militia
purposes.
Senate bill 6, by Gum, TO authorize the
auditor and reco rders OF counties 10 act
as court clerks, was introduced and re-
ferred. After one hours session the SEN
ate adjourned till Monday.
The attention Of the house was greatly
taken by the ponderous election bills
which are introduced, printed and re-
ferred.
A warehouse bill to provide for the
storage of grain was then introduced. as
was also bill relating 10 the practice OF
dental surgery. Very little OF importance
was transacted. An adjournment was
taken until Monday.
grand reunion and jubilee Of all
wings of the republicans occurred last
night at the opening Of the new Capital

The merits Of the different candidates
we're displayed in toasts intensified with
the popular air OF annie Rooney"
The senatorial fight has materially
changed tonight, and although all the
parties have been very confident and will.
ing to back their side with
money, IL is stated tonight by three
republican leaders that Fred T. Dubois
has pulled out of the fight and leaves II ,o
Shoup. Claggett and Mcconnell to fight
il out. Mr.. Dubois has all along proved
the strongest support and il seems rather
singular that now. before a ballot has
been taken, he should back out. but IL is
claimed positively he has done so.
Nothing can be known accurately until
the ballot commences, as all seem some
what at sea and the popular remark is
"Well, what do you know" Ballotinp
will surely commence Tuesday noon. anC
IL Dubois is out of the race the probabil
ity is that the selection will be shortly
made.
Some hint that Shoup and ClagRett will
be the lucky men, but Mcconnell is Q
strong factor himself.
