TO Sc CLEVELAND
SPEAKER CRISP. WILL MAKE A
-. TRIP TO NEW YORK.

The object of His Visit Said to BE to Con-
suit With Mr. Cleveland Regarding
Com N mittees-There May Be a General
Shaking Up-Prospeet of - Lively Time.
ST. PAUL, Pes. PA special to The
Pioneer Press from Washington says:
Speaker Crisp will start for New York
during the day, and whatever else may
be assigned as the motive for his visit
his chief reason for going is to see
PreSident-elect Cleveland. He has been
much disturbed Of late by the stories
which. have come 20 him of opposition
= tn his re-election as speaker, and he has
been, alarmed more than all else at the
position which friends of Mr.. Cleveland
at times have represented. that gentle
man. as taking. Mr.. Cleveland's fre-
quently expressed Il IN ration Of w. L.
Wilson, of West Virginia, indicates
him as the man to lead the movement
against Crisp, aud the latter, when he
sees the president-elect, will not only
discuss the question of an extra session
Of congress. but will endeayor to find
out just what he has to ex-
pect in the way of opposition
from the incoming administration.
Mr.. Crisp recognizes that the policy of
Mr.. Springer. the present chairman of
the ways aud means committee, of ''re.
forming" the tariff by: specific bills has
been very unsatisfactory to Cleveland
and his friends i'll the house, and that
their support of Mn Wilson. who is
radical tariff reformer, is based more on
Mr.. Crisp's chairman Of the ways aud
means Committee than on personal hos
tility to the >peaker himself.
:, Willing to Deprse Springer.
1t is understood that Speaker Crisp is
willing to entirely reorganlze that COM
mittee, placing Mr.. Wilson at the head,
and assoeiating with him any gentle
man Mr.: Cleveland may select, so that
the framing of new tariff bill can be
accomplished in committee whichis
in Thorough harmony with Mr.. Cleve-
lands views. H.. ..-....
There is only one trouble with this
program me. McMillin and Catchings,
of the rules, practically the steering
committee) Springer, chairman of the
ways and means, and Holman, of the
appropriations, 'tgo into the air" when
they hear that Crisp is promising to or
ganize the house after the Cleveland
idea. All of these alleged leaders ex-
cept, Catchings IT,.
Made \ Deal with Crisp
when. they elected him. and they do not
propose: to be thrown over at the die. 4
tates of Cleveland. They are deter
mined that Crisp shall show his hand
before they support him for reelection.
They had promises before they sup
ported Crisp, and they intend to have
them again. II deal is made with
Cleveland leaving out these leaders and
others in prominent places under the
speaker and putting in tried and true
Cleveland men instead of them; the

shals under the leadership of Pink Barn
hill, captured Julian Pacios, one of the
leaders Of the recent revolutionary
movement, and started back to their
camp with him Wednesday, night Just
before daylight Friday morning, the
camp of the deputy marsbals was at
tackled by about 800 well armed and
equipped revolutionists. The deputy
marshals made desperate resistance,
but were overpowered and compelled to
make retreat. The revolutiorists re-
leased Pacios and captured two of the
deputy marshals who remained behind
the remainder of the posse in the fight.

INTERESTING OPERATIONS.

OF the many results of the rapid
strides which science has made is the
remarkable skill which medical men
have brought 10 bear upon difficult
and dangerous surgical operations.
1t was not many years ago when it
was thought improper to attempt OPP
Grafton upon the human body, but
the steady onward march of human
progress has given surgeons such a
knowledge of the human anatomy that
they are now enabled to perform feats
which formerly would have been
credited to witchcraft and the black
art, says the New York Herald.
AT the annual meeting of the
Welsh branch of the British Medical
Association DR.. Lamar Harrison gave
an account of an operation he had
performed upon a boy, which he
elalmeH 10 be unique.
The boy had the misfortune to cut
his wrist with plate.glass, which
caused him to lose all sense of feeling
in the hand and was followed by
complete paralysis. The lads wrist
was laid open and it was found that
about two inches of the nerve was
entirely destroyed. A young cat was
obtained and chloroformed and i'm
mediately after death the surgeon cut
a nerve out of the hind leg. The
nerve was then wrapped in cloth
soaked in warm carboic lotion and
aftergard connected with what re-.
manned of the boys nerve The re-
suit was most gratifying. Sensation
returned and the boy was cured.

WHO'LL PAY THE CosTSl

After the adjournment Of the con-
stitutional convention that met in this
city three years ago, an active can
vass was commenced among the peo-
Pile to have it accepted with as much
unanimity as possible. They vert
assured that the cost of state gov
eminent would be little, if any more
than under the territorial form. The
constitution was accepted and the
republicans elected their state ticket.
Governor Shoup, in his message to
the Legislature, estimated that tax
of seven and fourteenth mills on as
sessable property would be sufficient
to defray expenses. That body, how
ever, fixed the levy at nine aud one
half mills, or within one-ha!f mill of
the constitutional limit
No information can be gained from
any officer at the state-house bevond
the fact that there is deficiency in
every department of the state gov
eminent except that of the insane
asylum at Blackfoot. The state pen
iAentiary. land department and every
branch of the public service have
used all the appropriations, and are
now running on what must be covered
with a deficiency bill. This def
cheney, outside of the Ceur d'Alene
war, has been estimated by such as
were best qualified to judge, at the
sum of 100000, six weeks ago, and
is still accommodating.
The people can form but little con-
ception of the cost of the military
operations that have been and are now
being carried on in the Ceur Alene
country. The state will be called
upon to pay for the transportation of
all the United States and state troops
that were sent to Shoshone county, in
all about 1000 men. They were from
Vancouver, Missoula, Keogh, Boise
and many other points, and 1t is
thought that $50 for each will not
cover the cost. Then, there is the
transportation of horses, guns, &C.
coutrements and kilograms, subsist
ence for the officers and men and
their pay as well as that of the officer:
who are still on duty, and are liabl>
TO be for an indefinite period of time
1T is moderate estimate to placI
the expenses attendant upon the pro
clamation of martial law at Sl00,0OC
and the civil deficiency at $4,000.
How this amount of indebtedness
is to be paid will be left Tor the legls
lature and the people to determine
The limit of taxation authorized b,
the constitution will not do it, aud i
a loan is to be made it must be lef
with the people to ratify at the mex
succeeding general election before i
can take effect. With statute bool
full of unconstitutional laws, a ques
ton whether the state can have a Iega
legislature and an unnecessary deb
of great proportions, considering tn
amount of assessable property, th
Republican party has made startling
exhibit in two years rule.-Bois
