It now looks as though the division
Of Ada county will not be taken into
the courts. The best legal talent Of
the state agree that it would be useless
that Ada county was legally divided.
The division gives rise to many ques-
tions as to who is elected. which may
make very nice law points. If. how
ever, the matter is adjusted by the use
of common horse sense instead Of
hair-splitting technicalities, there need
DO no trouble. Moss elected to the
senate and Roertson to the house for
Ada county are both residents of Can
yon county. Let them serve. The
creation of Canyon should cut no figure.
A line drawn through Ada does not
change the people of either county in
any respect, nor make more of them.
If Ada's apportionment was just, the
people of both counties have all the
representation they are entitled to.
We can see no necessity for new cleo
tion,. etc. Let those elected serve
where they can, and where they cannot,
as in case of commissioners, we can
safely trust tho governor to make good
appointments. Politicians are clamor-
ing for new electlon-the people dc
not want it. @

Gov. willey's Views.

DAILY Mall.
Governor Wiley was today waited
on by some citizens from Canyon
county with recommendations as to
the new officers he is to appoint there.
He has not yet concluded whom to
appoint, as many other recommends
lions are likely to be made. He says
that from what he has learned from
outside sources, he understands that
some of the citizens of the new county
who were opposed to county division
have consulted attorneys here and
have learned that there were no GOOD
grounds for contesting the law or the
election and have become reconciled to
to the division.
The governor expressed the opinion
that the division would be no detriment
to Ada county. While it would prob
ably hurt the sherriff's aud county
clerks Offices, he did not think the
county's interests would suffer but that
they were more likely to be benefited.
The TRIBUNE hurls back into their
very teeth the insinuation of certain
newspapers that everybody in Cald.
well got drunk over division carrying.
We know and are prepared to prove
that three gentlemen-Rev. Boone, Rev.
Hicks and Rev. Richardson
duly sober. We also think there were
Others, but conclusive proof seems to be
wanting.

There is not hill or mountain OF

many others, it is the best county in

Great Excitement and Narrow Escape or
Many of the Tenants of the Percival
Flats in New York City.
New YORK. Feb. 20.-Fire in the Per-
cival flats on West Forty-second street,
yesterday, caused considerable excite
ment for while, the terror-striclsen
tenants leaving everything behind in
their frantic dash for their lives.
While the occupants of the lower
floors were in comparatively little dam
ger, the position of those of the upper
floors was more serious, those who es-
capped by the stairway fighting their
way through the smoke and heat while
those who were driven back sought to
make their escape by the fire escapes.
Ladders were hastily raised and sew
eral women, too frightened or excited
to avail themselves of the fire escapes,
were carried down to the ground by
the fremen. The fire had by this time
assumed proportions which rendered
the fire departments efforts futile.
The rear of the building from the
third floor upward was completely
Quilted and the lower floors completely
deluged. The loss of the tenants were
very heavy. many of them losing al
most all of their personal effects. The
loss is estimated at $50. 200, fully in
sured.

FOSTERS REPLY.

The Secretary of the Treasury Informs
the House Why the Feur-and-a-H Half
Ter Cent. Bonds Were Continued, and
Under What Authority.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-Secretary
Foster sent the following letter to
Speaker Crisp:
WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb 16 1892
To the Honorable, the Speaker Of the House Of
Representatives.:
SIR: / have the honor to acknowledge the
receipt of the resolution of the house of repre-
sentatives, dated the 18th ultimo, as follows:
"Resolred. That the secretary of the treasury
be, and he is hereby requested to inform this
house. whether at any time since the four and
one half per cent. bonds became due, there has
been sufficient funds in the treasury to pay the
same; and if So by what authority he has as
sumed to continue any of such bonds at per
cent interest, and why the same were not all
paid at the time said bonds were due"
In reply have to state that the bonds of the
41e per cent. loan became redeemable, at the
pleasure of the United States, after September
/, 1891. They did not become due ON that date
but under the provisions of the act of congress
by which they were authorized, the United
States then acquired and now has the option of
redeeming them at its pleasure upon three
months notice to the holders.
The amount of 4l2 per cent. bonds outstand
ing July /. 1891, was $50 e6S, 200 and the cash
balance in the treasury August 81, 1891, before
any or them haQ been redeemed was SloD,ZI4,-
394 IS. In view of the reduction of available
balance which the redemption of the loan would
at that time have effected. it was believed that
its continuance at lower rate of interest would
be prudent and profitable transaction, all the
benefits of which. and not any disadvantages
would accrue to the United States.
The authority under which the bonds were
permitted to continue part of the interest
bearing debt is contained in the act which au-
thorized their issue. AS stated above the bonds
did not become due. The United States had
the undoubted right to defer their redemption
indefinitely, meanwhile paying to the holders
quarterly as it should accrue, the interest
thereon. But some of the holders were willing
without imposing any conditions to accept a
lower rate of interest than that specified in the
bond; and the offers Of such holders to take the
lower rate. when accompanied by release.
der seal, of the remainder of the interest,
accepted. the United States in the meantime
retaining all it's rights in the premises.
In this connection deem it proper to state
that the Forty seventh congress by legislation
respecting the bonds then outstanding bearing
interest at 3lo per cent indicated it's approval of
the action of my distinguished predecessor who
had during the recess then just passed contin-
ued at gig per cent. s579, 560O50 of the five and
six per cent. bonds which had become redeem
able. Very respectfully,
tSigned.1 CHARLES FOSTER, Secretary.
