WASHINGTON, Feb. 6--Senator
Stewart, of Nevada, is, and has been
for several weeks, throwing every
possible obsl acle in the way of
settlement of the contested seat of
Senator Dubois, of Idaho. Mr..
Stewart is about the only Republican
senator who is in favor of The claim
Of Mr.. Clagett, the contestant. but
there is no possibility that Mr.. Du-
bois, can be disturbed in his seat.
The committee on privileges and
elections were unanimously in favor
of his undsturbed title to the seat,
and every Republican senator ex-
cept Mr.. Stewart will doubtless vote
for him. The Nevada senator has,
however, still kept up the fight, and
until yesterday no explanation of
his peculiar course has been forth
coming. 1t is now learned what
the trouble is. 1t appears that dur
the fiftleth congress Senator Stewart
was much opposed to the admission
Of Idaho into the Union. He wanted
to see the territory divided, the
lower half to be attached to Nevada
aud the upper half to become part
of the state of Washington. The
senator realized that Nevada was
rapidly being depopulated and that
new blood and new territory were
necessary to its continued existence.
Senator Dubois then a delegate,
made "a strong speech for Idaho
and won. Mr.. Clag, tt, who now
wants the seat of Mr.. Dutois was, 1t
is said, in favor of Mr.. Stewards
plan TO split Idaho in twain and
/ gave his Test efforts to the move
ment. Senator Stewart is now in
clined TO the man who assisted him.
Mr. Dubois, Notwithstanding, will
retain his seat In the senate without
serious opposition.
