North Idaho is afflicted in some

which has impressed our northern
contemporary. Men spend hun.

where they don't spend dollar
in educating their own offspring.
They demand free schools for their
children and pay fancy prices to
the horse professor. They spend
weeks in petting and feeding and
rubbing blooded colt, while their
children run will about the streets.
The horse is rapidly improving,
the advancement of humanity is
slow and uncertain. Some day it
will dawn on people that children
are entitled to consideration. At
present the horse has the inside

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-One of the

ence between the Canadian commits
sioners and Secretary Blaine was in re-
gard to the establishment of boundary
line between Alaska and British Colum-

SALToN, CAL, Feb. 25.-From present
indications the desert lake here will be
much, larger than last year. At present
the lake is about half mile wide, and
after running along the Southern Pacific
track for about two miles, extends off
out OF sight to the south. At this time
last year there was not a drop of water
visible, although there was guam
tity few inches below the surface
of the sink. 1t was not until several
months later that the floods occurred
in the Gila and Colorado rivers, caused
by the melting SHOWS, and only in Au-
gust that the water in Salton sink be-
gan to attract attention. The SHOWS in
the mountains at present are heavier
than for years, and coming as water
when they melt, on land already in
large part saturated, lake OF unexam-
pied extent will probably be created.
Old residents believe that about 100
miles of track of the Southern Pacific.
which lies in the desert below sea level,
will be overhowed.

Eastern Beneficiaries Take Steps to
Secure Their Portions.
SAN Francisco, Feb. 25.-When the
late DIR. Samuel Merritt of Oakland died
he left $4,000, 600 estate to his sister,
Mrs. Garcelon. Two nephews threat
ened to contest the will, and Mrs. Gar
celon compromised with them for $780,
600. Mrs. Garcelon died, and left
numerous legacies amounting to about
100000 to relatives in the east.
Six-tenths of the remainder was given in
trust to Bowdoin college, and four
tenths to the Merritt hospital, Oakland.
The two nephews have engaged counsel,
and threaten to prevent the payment of
these bequests. Today the trustees of
Bowdoin college and representatives of
other eastern beneficiaries brought suit
in the federal court of this city, alleging
that the nephews' claims prevented the
trustees from paying the bequests, and
asking the court to enjoin the nephews
from setting up any claims to the estate.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-The house of
representatives was in the throes of
political dissension five hours today,
and partisan feeling reached fever heat
when Representative Jason Brown of
Indiana denounced Quay, Wanamaker
and Dudley for their efforts in carrying
the election of 1888 for the present occu-
pant of the White House. The Craig
Stewart contested election case was
under discussion, and the debate soon
took political range. The majority of
the committee find in favor of the con-
testant, Craig (Democrat). Brown led
the debate, in favor of Craig, and soon
turned his attention to the indictment
of Republican politicians. He dwelt at
length on 'blocks of five" and contribu-
tions OF money from the ''good and bad
of the Republican party" his remarks
being frequently punctuated with great
applause and laughter on the Democrat
ic side.
Brown arraigned Judge Woods for vio-
lation of the oath of high Office in in
terposing to save prominent Republic
cans from indictment and degradation.
fsYet," continued Brown, ssthe- -presi-
dent OF the United States, whose elec-
tion resulted from this criminal scheme,
has now invited Judge Woods to step
higher up into the temple of judicial
glory, even if his presence there dimin-
ishes its splendor and casts the mantle
of shame on its honor" Prolonged ap-
plause on the Democratic side.]
Johnston of Indiana the leading
speaker for the contestee, said be would
not descend to petty discussion, al
though the temptation was very invit-
ing. Dudley had always denied the
charge which had been repeated today,
but certain persons seemed to think
1T is only necessary to reiterate charge
to make it true. The warfare made
upon Judge Woods was not for the rea-
sons alleged, but because he was instru-
mental in convicting and sending to the
penitentiary the noted ballot-box suffer
of indianapolis, Sim Coy. Applause on
the Republican side.] The gentleman
who had been most active in pressing
the charges against Judge Woods in the
United States senate, had, when at
home, privately admitted that he re-
GREETED that party necessity compelled
him to take the stand he assumed in op-
posing the confirmation.
After further discussion, the house ad-
journed without action.
Speaker Crisp was present, and called
the house to order this morning.

would not risk perjuring himself by
swearing to any individual telegram out
of the mass which he had sent.

Exciting Sport at Lakevil1e-Two Whales
in PetaInma Creek.

PErALUMA, CAL, Feb. 25.-This morn
ing about 100 men armed with rifles and
other heavy guns, went down to Lake
vile to continue to hunt for two whales
reported yesterday. All who could, OBJ
tanned boats; the others hunted from the
shore on each side of Petaluma creek.
The whales were soon located where the
creek is quarter of mile wide. The
hunt was kept up all day and many
shots were fred into the whales, but
they continued to drift down the creek,
some times on top, but mostly under
water, until late this afternoon,
when they were heading for San Pablo
bay, a. bout one mile distant. 1t is gen.

and not threshers, as at first stated. A
young whale fifty feet long was stranded
in Petaluma creek in 1850. and was
killed by the half dozen settlers then
here.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-Secretary
Rusk today, in answer to the senate
resolution communicated to the senate
the report of the special agent of the
of agriculture upon the ex-
periments of General Dryenfurth, who
has charge of the experiments in max
ing artificial rain. In summing the re-
suits the secretary says: ''The few ex-
periments made do not furnish data
sufficient to form definite conclusions,
or evidence upon which to uphold or
condemn the theories of artificial pro-
duction, or the increase of rainfall by
conclusion. What has been done 30 far
is altogether preliminary, but with the
benefit of the experience gained, hope
the subject will be pursued"

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-Representa-

Chinese bill, reported favorably to the
house by the foreign committee, will
never do, because of the section which
admits CHR ese visitors to the worlds g
fair, or for any such purpose, under reg
ulations by the secretary of the treasury.
He maintains that this provision leaves
matters in worse condition than ever,
for under it there is nothing to prevent
100, 900 Chinese from entering this coun-
try and remaining here. Representa-
tive Geary says he made strong effort
to induce the committee to strike out
this provision, but failed. Mr.. Loud
opposes Geary's bill unless this obnox-
