A dispatch from Washington tc
q New York paper says: Senate,
elect Dubois in q lively interview
at the white house told the presi-
dent that if Beatty was appointed he
would fight the administration un-
til it went out Of power; but that
he would accept with pleasure any
other name the president might
send it. Senator Spooner who was
present at the interview, advised
the president to heed Dubois word
but the encouragement is deter
ahmed that the president shall
nominate Beatty. The senate have
several more names in reserve, and
as fast as the president turns down
one of the recommendations thew
will come up fresh and smiling
with another candidate. Thew
propose now to see if they are to be
ignored altogether, and if this han.

Special to Boise Statesmen.

committee on resolutions was made,
which is quite lengthy. 1t was
considered by paragraph, and
adopted. 1t begins with the follow
ing preamble:
WHEREAS, Owing to the oppres-
sion that has been heaped upon US
by grasping monopolists, capital
lists, trusts and combines, we
believe it is time for action, and
WHEREAS, The National Far
mers' Alliance, in convention
assembled, does most emphatically
declare against the system of the
government as manipulated by the
Congress of the United States, and
Legislatures of several States.
Therefore we declare in favor of
holding a convention on Feb. Is,
1892, to fix the date and place for
the holding of a convention to
nominate candidates for the Office
of President and Vice-President of
the United States.
In this preliminary convention
representation is to be had of one
delegate from each State in the
Union. @ ra'r 81.
The resolutions favor the aboli-.

Defeat Of the Force Bill.

Chicago News.
Once more the disqualification

interest of other legislation in the
senate, and once more, also, its
temporary defeat is due to the votes
Of republican senators.
The very brief interval which
must elapse before the present con-
gress expires by limitation will
encourage the hope that this latest
defeat of the force bill is perma.

been apparent that the bill would

obey the party lash in opposition
to the expressed wishes Of their
constituents and in violation of
their individual sense of patriotism

of these camps are SO rich in the
precious metals that they carry
their supplies and output hundreds

be 5000. The Senate amends as
follows:
SECTION 4. The amount to be
paid by each applicant for such
license shall be the sum of Five
Hundred dollars per year, or a |
proportionate amount for each frac-
lion of a year, in any city, town,
