There was litilo racket In the house
committee on territories this morning.
Delegate Dubois asked the committee
TO consider the Idaho and Wyoming
bills, bu, Mr.. Springerof Illinois insisted
that the omnibus bill hc had introduced
for the four territories should be heard.
Mcssrs, Dubois and Springer had a
littlo contest over the matter, the former
arguing that MIR. Springcrs bill was an
enabling act only while the other Uilis
provided for admission on the consti,u-
tious already adopted. Sir. Dubois won
the day, and had next Wednesday set
for considering his bill alone.
Ex-Governor Stevenson, the demo-
cratic governor and Hon. George Aims
lie, formerly democratic delegate, urr
here to hclp MI DUJai~ Ia his admission
work. They have told the democrats In
congress plainly that any opposition to
the admission OF Idaho at this time
would make 1t hopelessly republican ior
all time, while, in case Of its admission
without democratic opposition, 1t would
give them fighting chance to carry the
new states.

OLYMPIA, Wash. Jan. ii.-senator
/ toirwcathor has drafted bill for the
assumption by the state of the indebt-
cdneas oi tic territory, which he intends
to introduce to-day. He has conferred
with Governor Ferry and other state
officers about 1t, and they approve It,
Some think the rate of interest on the
bonds should be q 0per cent instead Of o,
and 1t Is probable that an amendment
to this effect will be offered.
The bill authorizes the governor, state
auditor and slate treasurer to borrow on
the credit of the state 100000 to cover
the Indebtedness, at rate of interest
not TO exceed u per cent per annuni,
which shall be paid at any time within
ten years ut tho option of the state. IL
provides for the issuance Of bonds, the
denomination OF which shall not lie less
SloJO, and which shall he signed by the
/ governor and aitested by the secretary
Of state, the interest on the bonds 10 be
paid by tho treasurer whenever due.
For the purpose If providing a fund
/ for the redemption of the bonds and the
payment OF the interest, the state audi
tor is authorized to levy for ten con-
sceutive years an annual tax, not ex-
! ceeding onc-iilth OF a mill, watch shall
be known rs the redemption fund, and
/ until such bonds are redeemed and tho
interest paid, this money shall bc APP
piled solely To the payment thereof in
J the following manner Whenever the
amount thereof shall exceed sufficient to
pay the interest falling due at the next
annual term OF payment. the excess re
manning, setting aside the portion
necessary for the payment of the in
tercst, shall be used for the redemption
ofthe bonds. When all the bonds are
redeemed and the interest paid, the
residue oftho funds and all subsequent
collections of the tax levied shall be
transferred to the general revenue fund
OF the state.
The prcam IN BILE Of the bill recites that
expenses have been incurred to the
amount OF $780, OOo, which has not been
provided Tor.
Senator Fairweather, speaking about
his bonding plan to-day, said that the
bill provides an easy method ior funding
the Indebtedness OF the territory a..
sumed by the state government under
the constitution. lfthIs plan is adopted,
aud IL Is generally conceded that IL will
be, the expenses of the state government
will be met without any increase in tile
levy, and thus the transition from terri
torial condition to statehood will In no
wise materially aiiect the taxpayers Of
the state.

munication from the attorney general In
response to the resolution adopted by
the senate yesterday. The attorney
general states no instructions, oral or
written, were given District Attorney
Chambers on the subject OF the arrest OF
W. w. Dudley. NO communication, "
says the attorney general, has bee n
sent by the department Of justice to the
district attorney OF Indiana, nor has any
been received from him directly or in
directly with reference 10 the subject"
Mr.. Dolph, from the committee on

THE ANTITRUST BILL.
A Warm Debate In the Eouse on tho
COmmIttee Eeport.

The house INDUCED la warm dcbat
this morning on its judiciary commit.
I tees unfayornble report on Senator Kin.
nears antitrust bill, which, with the
committees report, was made a special
order for Friday next at =. 81.
The committee submitted that legsla-
ton of TOO radical n character as that
contemplated by the proposed act should
only be enacted upon the most urgent
necessity. and should then be upon q
strict line OF public policy. The full
force of the law would depend entirely
on the Interpretation of section !,
which forbids contracts between
corporations and associations to limit
the producton and regulate the produc-
tion OF any product or commodity
The committee holds that the bill will
prohibit the making OF innocent con-
tracts for tho expedition of business,
and that that portion OF section 1 con-
cefning the regulation Of transportation
Is contrary to the constitution of the
United States. IL would also invalidate
notes and mortgages given for the future
delivery ,f products ami initiate against
many companies and concerns doing
business In the state. Section Is too
general in its language, applying not
only TO state business, but also TO inter-
state traiilc. In the attempt TO regulate
which IL Is unconstitutional. Section I,
excmpting farm product, etc, Is class
legislation and unconstitutional.
Mr.. Moultray denounced the report rs
an attempt To kill an important bill.
Mr.. JudsoD Of Pierce agreed with Mr..
Mouliray.
Mr. Hutchinson, the dissenting mem-
bcr q, the judiciary committee, thought
there were some good points IN the bill.
Mr. Moultray said that the sawmill
on BellinghaIn bay WAS lumber Trust
live years ago, and has been shut down
ever since.
~ will say remarked Mr.. Drew, that
that Sawmill has made moro money
than any one on the Sound" Laughter,
Mr.. Eddy, although opposed 10 the
bill. said that any man who would vote
against q bill Of this kind need never
run for office again. lCrcs Of "Oh, my."l
~ will remark" said MIR. Randall,
warmly, that will vote against the
bill rs II stands"
80 WILL, as 1t stands" said Mr..
Eddy.
Mr.. Geoghcgan said he was ready TO
vote against the bill and risk his noiit-
icgl tate on the throw Of dice.
Mr. Herrcn OF the judiciary committee
said that the statement that the report
was an effort To choke on legislation on
the trust subject was all stuff. The iu-
dietary committee had acted honestly.
and IL was not fair 10 impugn its mo-
lives.
