| WoRLD:--Great excitement has
prevailed in this city since an early
hour yesterday when orders were re-
ceived from Gov. Wiley for Company
K, !. N. g., to hold itself in readiness
70 proceed to Cosur d'AIens At ! mo-
ment's notice Capt. McCaiIie lost
no time in having the orders conveyed
to the members, many Of whom live
in the country. Late in the evening,
however, al the members were TO-
gsther and under arms. The G. A. r.
ball was used ~ headquarters for the
company during the day, but . night
approached aud no further orders
were Forthcoming, the Commercial
hotel was utilized Tor sleeping quar-
tiers. The company has been in =
state Of the greatest suspense. This
morning definite orders were received
for them to proceed to Colfax by Sis
train, to meet the men from Boise
and Go. NJ, of Vollner; also the COM
pany from Genessee are on their way
to join the other companies at Pull
man. Many pathetic scenes were wit
messed on the streets to-day; wives
clinging to their husbands, mothers
almost weeping for their sons, sweet
hearts with downcast looks as they
beheld their lovers march to the de-
pot, as the band played "The Girl l
Left behind Me-" In spite of all the
sadness, as the train steamed out of
the depot, three ringing cheers were
given for the success and safe return
of Company K.
Yesterday evening Senator McCon-
nell was serenaded by the Moscow
Citizens Band. Deputations from all
parts of the country waited upon the
Senator to induce him to allow his
name to go before the state conven-
ton for nomination for Governor.
Speeches were delivered by the men,
bers of the deputation, in which the
Senator was strongly urged to acceds
to what was the unanimous voice OF
the people of Latah county. The
Senator replied in felicitous terms,
expressing the honor he felt at the
action Of the people of the county,
but pointed out the claim his exten.
sive business has upon his time and
attention, which would he diverted in.
to another channel did the people
confer the honor upon him. Yet, il
nominated by the unanimous voice oi
the convention, he would consider il
an honor to accept the nomination
, otherwise he would emphatically de.
, cline to allow his name to 60 before
the public, nor, as it is, he will neither
use his influence, nor give his advice
TO send to the convention delegate,
$ that might be considered favorable t.
his nomination.
Building prospects are not SO gooe
this year as they were last. Man.
