it says that it is now conceded on all
sides that it was not only the right
but the duty of the legislature of
Idaho to elect a third senator for

that there would be vacancy in

that the term would commence be-

A LEGISLATIVE ENDORSEMENT.

A law was passed last winter in
Minnesota affecting the sale of alum
baking powders. The interest ex-
cited by the bill when proposed led
to a long and thorough investiga-
ton by a legislative committee of
the qualities of all the baking pow
ders sold in that state, with the
result that the Royal was shown
by very positive evidence from the
state chemist, DR.. Drew, and others,
to be the purest, strongest, ard in
all respects the best baking powder
in the market.

SENATOR DUBOIS!
The Committee Reports Seven to Two
In His Favor.


A Statesman dispatch of above
date is as follows:
Washington, Feb. 2.-The be-
ginning of the end, in the Idaho SEN
atorial contest, came to-day when
the majority report ofthe committee
on privileges and elections was pre-.
scented to the senate. This report
was signed by the FIVE republican
members of the committee, and by
two of the four democratic mem
bers, the names attached to it being
those of Senator Teller, chairman;
Senator Hoar, of Massachusetts;
Senator Mitchell, of Oregon; Sena-
tor Chandler, of Vermont, Senator
Higgins, Of Delaware, Senator
Pugh, of Alabama, and Senator
Turpie, of Indiana.
The report made thorough pre-
sentation of the case and gave
magnificent legal argument pre-
pared with great care. 1t was
complete in its statement and con-
vincing in it's conclusions, leaving
Clagett nothing whatever to stand
upon. The report says that there
is really no material controversy in
regard to the facts of the case. The
points involved are purely ques-
tons Of law, arising from varying
constructions of the various con.
stitutional and statuary provisions
and the applicability to the facts.
Briefly, the questions arising, as
stated by the report, were whethe
the legislature Of Idaho was suffi.
GENTLY organized at the date OF
Dubois election, to elect senator
legally under the provisions of the
constitution and laws, and whether
it had a right to elect three senu-
tors for efficient terms at the same
time.
The report insists that the organ
ization of the legislature was sufh-
cient to enable it to elect the sena.

leading spirit in circulating the
call, said today: 81 decided not
to push the caucus, for the reason
that democratic opinion is chang
ing very rapidly. not only upon
the wisdom of passing silver bill,
but upon the merits Of the ques-
ton. While, last Thursday, nine
out of ten men would have pre-
dicted that a free silver bill wonld
pass the house, today [ venture the
opinion that no bill providing for
the free and unlimited coinage of
silver will pass this session.
THE MOST EARNEST
of the silver people realize the fact
that a silver plank in platform
would break the party in two, and
that we would have to say good-by
to New England, the Middle states,
and to such states as Wisconsin,
Illinois, Iowa and Michigan. The
leading German papers in the
country have served notice upon
US that the German vote will leave
us in body on that issue and 60
to the republicans. We expect to
sweep the whole country if the fight
is made on the tariff, but it will be
bard to gather seventy-five men in
the house would 60 upon record
as believed that democrat can be
elected president in 1892 upon a
platform which would give the citi-
zens of Colorado one hundred cents
worth Of property or services Of
everybody else in the land, for
what is supposed to cost them less
than Ala cents"
BLAND HAS SOMETHING TO SAY.
Mr.. Bland, in an interview later,
said in part: "Mr. Harter has as
certained to his satisfaction that
the democratic party cannot be
bulldozed by the national bankers
or money power of this country.
Instead of there being a change
against a free coinage bill, the
changes are allthe other way. The
party says, now if we don't pass a
free silver bill we will be stultifying
ourselves and our record in the
last congress. The house will pass
a free coinage bill, and the country
can rest assured of it. If the dem
ocrats again act the part of duplic-
ity on this question, and permit
the republicans again to step in
front of them, they will lose, not
only the presidency, but beyond
all question the house of represent
atives."
The senate committee on finance
today decided that next Tuesday
the Stewart free coinage bill will
be reported to the senate. There
is little doubt as to the nature of
the report. for the discussion this
morning showed that two of the
democratic senators would proba
bly, join with the republican ma
jority in recommending adverse
action upon the bill.

THE SILVER FIGHT.

Washington, Feb. 2.-When will
congress get down to business.
That is the question that is now
seriously worrying the party lead
ers. 1t is only surpassed in inter-
eat by the question. what plumbers
it will commit when it gets down
to business. The silver situation
is causing the democratic sena-
torial triumvirate the greatest anx'
iety. German, Brice and Hill
are determined that it shall be
shelved. But how to shelve it
with least damage to the party, is
the nut which they are attempt
ing to crack. A caucus on Friday
was a suggestion which was at first
thought brilliant one. Today no
one believes that the advocates OF
free silver will be bound by any
caucus action in the line of contin-
ued discrediting of silver. The
gold men of the east are equally
frank in declaring that they will
not be held by any caucus decision
in the line of free silver. Last year
it seemed fun to a number of dem
ocrats to put the republicans in a
hole as they called it, by voting for
free coinage against their convic-
tons. They are now as anxious
this year to 60 on record when a
democratic house must
STAND THE RESPONSIBILITY.
Public interests sink into insight
ficance in the minds of these men
alongside of their petty eastern
constituencies, and the threats of
Wall street. Meantime the house
committee on coinage is going
right along towards it's mark. 1t
will hear Director of the Mint
Leech this week, and protests that
no matter what be the caucus &C.
ton, they will report free coinage
bill next week.
The Star this evening says that
the committee on banking and cur
rency may bring in bill which
will challenge the attention of the
house, and came into antagonism
with the free coninage bill on the
question of consideration. Several
bills have been introduced having
in view substantial basis for a
national bank currency, SO that it
may be enlarged and will not de-
pend upon the fluctuating national
debt. No one of the bills referred
to the committee will be reported
in its original form, and as yet the
propositions that have been dis
cussed have not taken definite form
as to detail, but there is a feeling
that some measure, general in
scope, should be reported in a gen.
eral way. 1t is probable that the
plan will preserve national super,
vision of the national bank system,
so as to keep it uniform, but the
basis of the circulation will be
founded on the taxation of the
states, rather that of the nation
The proposition as now discussed
aims to avoid The old state bank
business, but to extend the basis
IT the currency beyond the interest
bearing government securities.
EITHER COURSE FATAL.
The democratic caucus wi ict
was 10 to have been called for Fri
day evening next to consider the
silver question, has been aban
doned, for the present at least.

MEN IN TIGHTS.

If we are to accept the reports Of the
New York newspapers metropolitan
"high society" needs a high-potency
dose Of blchloride of common sense.
At the fancy dress" balls the male
participants, who dress in the habili-
ment Of the Shakespearian drama,
either should be prohibited by law from
thus displaying the beauties Of their
manly forms, or the newspaper &C
counts Of such displays should be sup
pressed.
1t is an exceedingly ridiculous de-
velopment OF kind Of society whose
sole business is pleasure, but as moth
ing ridiculous can very long survive
publicity we have hopes that the
spectacle OF an able bodied male Amer
lean citizen exhibiting the exceedingly
precise contour Of his neither extremities
in flights" will soon become q shade
of the past.
The diaphanous and uncomfortable
habllimentS Of the ballet girl, while
undoubtedly perfect medium for dis
playing the contour Of the chief charms
of these stage beauties, do not look so
well on the spindle shanks of New
York society" dude.
No one expects what is called good
society" in New York to be especially
intellectual, but it ought to have sense
enough to not make itself publicly ri
diculous.

MIR. BLANE'S HEALTH.

whether Mr.. BLATNE's recent Illness
was merely sudden attack Of acute in
digestion caused by too many buck
wheat cakes at breakfast, or was really
something in the nature Of stroke OF
apopleXy, # is pretty certain to keep
the gossips in talk for . long time.
1t has been but very recently that
Mr.. B1ArNE's health ceased to be a
topic OF daily discussion and important
news TO the press Of the land. The pub
lie has been spared the incessant and con-
Trajectory bulletins concerning his
condition which we were afflicted
with last summer, since the Secretary 5
return to Washington; bat the recent
incident has revived the subject, and it
will have added interest now on &C
connt Of the nearness Of the Republi-
can convention.
1t is generally believed that Mr.
BLAINE will be nominated for President
"if the condition of his health warrants
it," Some insist that even his late at
tack. whatever it may have been, will
lessen his chances Of being nominated.
Even his warmest supporters declare
that his chances depend upon his con-
tinued good health.
So, it will be seen that Mr.. BLAINE's
health is likely to be topic Of interest
at least until after the Republican con-
yentiOn.

A Vessel in Mid-Ooean With q Broken
Shaft and a Storm KsgIng-sighted in
the Nick Of Time.
LONDON, January 9.-The British
steamer LANDAU City, Capt. Goyier,
from New York for Bristol, which was
towed into Queenstown yesterday by
British steamer Regina, bound from
New Orleans for Bremen, had a most
eventful voyage, and it was only
through the thorough seamanship OF
the officers and crews of both vessels
that the LANDAU City was able to reach
port.
When the steamers reached Queens
town their crews were exhausted by the
constant labor they had been perform
Ing for ten days. During the heavy
weather that the LANDAU City encoun-
tered she was thrown down on her beam
ends, and it was while lying in this pre-
| carious position that her shaft was bro
ken.
This accident left the steamer entire
ly helpless. She fell off in the trough
Of the sea and for a considerable time
there was every prospect OF her fonnder-
ing. or course, while she was on her
beam ends and tossing about at the
mercy Of the waves she was subjected
TO most violent pounding by the heavy
sea. Her life boats were either smashed
to pieces as they hung by the davits or
their lashings were broken and the
carried away.
With their boats gone and the vessel
on her side, the officers and crew about
made up their minds that they were on
| their last voyage. just about the time
they had reached this conclusion gi-
gantic sea swept toward the steamer,
lifted her up and trimmed her cargo,
which had shifted when she was beam
ended, so that she afterward rode on an
almost even keel.
The wind was blowing with terrific
force and the steamers rigging was In
such bad shape that it was with the
greatest difficulty that canvas could be
set. After a time, however, some storm
stay sails were spread and with this
short canvas the steamer was brought
| around head TO the sea. Her deck was
mass Of wreckage and she rolled and
pitched so heavily that it was impos-
sible to clear away the tangle Of ropes,
broken spars and fittings that encum-
bered the deck.
After two days OF this sort Of expert
ence the Inman Line steamer, City OF
Paris, on her way from Liverpool 10
New York, hove in sight, but as she
was bound to the westward the Liam
daft City required no assistance from
her. On December 90 the Regina came
up with the LANDAU City and took the
latter in tow. The weather was still
boisterous, and it required incessant
vigilance to navigate the vessel. No
attempt has yet been made to clear
away the wreckage, and the LANDAU
City presents very battered appear
ance. The Regina was fortunate In
getting her tow into Queenstown, as
upon her arrival there her coal supply
was practically exhausted.

already called our neighbours attention
to the fact that there was no question
of sentiment involved, since all must

Of the Cars unfortunate subjects, and
that the question was entirely one OF
right, expediency and law. The Iol-
lowing from the Pittsburg Dispatch
will show that honest and conservative
Republican, as we'll as Democratic
papers uphold the action Of the House:
Congress has no business to appropriate
money for the relief of Russia or any othsr
country, and the House did perfectly rlgn n6

ter of helping Russia's starving peasants Is
praiseworthy enough, and the western Il
