THE HUNTING SEASON BEGUN.

VIM. Brooks Shoots A. Heatfield At
Cheney-The Wound Probably Fatal.
SPOKANE, Aug. 2-[Special. William
Brooks, trucker of the Pacific Transfer
Company, and A. Heafield, of this city,
of the opening of the game season. They
hunted in the vicinity of Cheney, where
they found birds to be pl entiful. Toward
evening, Heatfield, who is merely boy,
separated himself a short distance from
his companion. Some birds arose and
Brooks took aim and fired. Young Heat
field had wandered around unnoticed
directly in line with the aim Of
his companion and received al
most the entire charge of shot in his
body, taking effect principally in his leg,
arm and thigh. He dropped and uttered
a cry, which was the first intimation that
Brooks received of the result of his i'll
directed shot. He was frantic when he
discovered what he had done. and did
everything in his power to alleviate the
pain of his boy companion, who was
brought to the city and medical attend
ance procured at once.
An examination Of the wounded youth
showed that the injuries were painful; no
fatal results were to be anticipated
unless the excessively warm weather
prevailing might generate some other
complications. The boy today is resting
easily. He is a son of John w. Heatfield,
a jeweler on Sprague street. He COM
pletely exonerates Brooks, as he believes
the shooting was purely accidental and
unintentional

The Iron Hall Failure.

ISDIAYAPoLIs, Ind, Aug. 2.-Supreme
Justice Freeman ID. Somerby. of the Order
of the Iron Hall, has returned to the city,
but declines to speak of the charges against
himself. He insists, however, that his
accounts are all right and that he is not
afraid OF an investigation.
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 1.-The first legal
proceeding in the case of the Order of the
Iron Hall has been begun here by Edward
Bucholz. trustee of the local branch. gar
nisheeing himself and other trustees of
the local branch on account of foreign
attachment for 81, 600 on certificates which
had matured.
1t was learned here today that on Satur-
day a call was issued for secret meeting
tomorrow night in Indianapolis of the ex-
ecutive committee of the Order of the Iron
Hall. Beyond the fact that call for a
meeting was issued, nothing has been
learned in connection with it.

In the Senate.

WASHINGTON Grey, Aug. 1.-The reso-
luton for the appointment of select COM
mittee to inquire into the Pinkertons &C.
cupied most of the time in the Senate to-
day. Sherman thought the question
should not be taken up now. The House
already examined the matter, and the SUBJ
ject involved to some extent the domain of
sovereign state. The Senate itself had no
quorum. He knew the question was a
very important one, and he hoped the
resolution would go over to next session,
when 1t could receive proper at
tention. Palmer said the Importance of
the investigation could not be overstated.
The country would be startled at the
an amount of information that would be
collected as to the dangerous semi
political and semi-military organizations
that were employed. They ought to be
hunted down as enemies OF mankind.
Vest also favored an investigation.
Quay said ii a select committee could go
10 Homestead and influence an ADJUST
ment as to wages it would be welcome /;
otherwise the people were not anxious for
it. After discussion the resolution was
adopted without discussion; adjourned.

The Earl Of Bathurst Dead.
LONDON, Aug. 1.-The Earl of Bathurst

LONDON, Aug. 1.-The Earl of Bathurst
is dead.
THE sixth Earl of Bathurst was born in 1892,
succeeding to the title and estates by the death
OF his uncle on February "A, 1875 The earl was
a major in the militia He was twice married,
his first wife being daughter of the second
Baron de TaDley aud his second wife the third
daughter of L. Manners. The estate consists of
Is COS acres with rent roll of E2i, los annually
and two livings. The uncle OF the earl also, in
addition to the estate, left bis nephew a per-
sonal legacy of f7c,000. The esrls of Bathurst
trace their lineage back to Earl Allen, the dis
tinguished statesman OF Queen Anne's reign,
whom the queen, IN recognition of valuable
services had advanced 10 the peerage in I'LL,
giving him the title OF Baron Bathurst, of Bat
tlesien, IN Bedfordshire, Earl Allen opposed
aud impeached the directors of the notorious
south Sea- bubble, and later opposed Sir Robert
Walpole anu forced him TO resign, and the earl
was then sworn of the privy council. He mar
ried a daughter OF Sir Peter Apsley, and the
title OF Lord Apsey was given 10 the oldest son.
The famous earl's successors did not reflect
their illustrious ancestors brilliant qualities

Weir's candidacy for congress il merely
repetition of the move two years ago,
when by the same tactics he is credited with
securing the nomination of secretary OF
state. which nomination it is held he now
seeks again. Mr.. Bennett says: II did
not directly or Indirectly have confer
ence with Weir. / was at my house all
evening with q party of friends Mr.
Weir was not present." Replying to the
other question, he said:
am not so deeply interested in politics a. the
PosT-ISTgLLIGEacER and some other stste
papers would have it appear am Repab-
lcsn on principle and when the principles don't
suit me I'll take the next best Price ana
Calkins are both friends of mine. understand
that Mr. Cslkins Is not candidate for governor.
Bennett would not say whether no
would favor Price for secretary OF state or
Calkins for governor, if other nomina-
tions besides congressman could be
secured at the state convention. Weir
left the city last night. His conference
with Tacoma Republicans is understood
to be in favor of his nomination for secre-
tsry of state.
The delegation as made up is considered
much weaker than If il had been selected
by Coiner's proposed committee and super
vised by Doolittle. Coiner's plan would
have secured the best political workers in
the county. For instance, Mayor Huson
was desired by the delegations. As
it is he gets half vote and
came within hair of being excluded.
Many not in touch with the political
workers of the state secured the places of
delegates, and 1t is claimed they will
weaken the political force of Pierce
county, which, the dissatisfied ones say,
has always been failure for this
very reason. The numerical opposition to
Coiner's resolutions, it is claimed, came
not from the opponents Of Price but from
the great bulk of the county delegates who
expected by the precinct process
TO secure position on the state
delegation. They, however, were dis
appointed because they were beaten as
delegates under the precinct selection
plan. Calkins' friends seem very much
disgruntled because Calkins was not put
on the delegation. 1t is said he was prom
ised a place. Prices friends seem pie ased
with the delegation.

Two Hundred Miners Yet to Be Arrested
Spies in Law and Order Leagues.

Spies in Law and Order Leagues.
WARDNER, Idaho, Aug. 2-Colonel Car
lin and Major Randall returned here today
from Fort Sherman. The troops will re-
main here for an indefinite period, as the
United States commissioner has warrants
for the arrest of 500 men, 200 of which are
yet to be served. The appeals sent to Gov
ernor Wiley by law-abiding citizens for
the continuance Of martial law expressed
such grave fears of danger to life and prop
erty in such an event that the governor
exerted all his power to have the troops
retained until the fears are allayed. 1t
has been represented by petitions to both
the governor and president that men have
been designated for the assassin's knife or
the bullet, and that existing evidence
proves the truth of the assertion. 1t is
thought secret sessions of the Law and
Order League are attended by miners
union spies, for in no other way could
union sympathizers learn the plans of the
league.
WALLACE. Idaho, Aug. 1.-The removal
of Sheriff Cunningham last night and the
appointment of Coroner w. s. Sims in his
stead, created sensation when it became
generally known today, as the step is con-
troubles. Three of Cunningham's princi-
pal bondsmen withdrew and the county
commissioners declared the Office vacant.
Many think the action illegal, as the law
allows the sheriff power to get another
bond, but it is claimed that under martial
law the action is legal. General Curtis
has also notified Cunningham that he is
NO longer sheriff. The process of the en-
cfttn ,f h. Atc<rs To- -.
tremely important, as it is stated that
charges of murder will be brought against
a majority of the miners now under ar
rest. No further examinations were held
here today, but at Wardner fifty out of the
los prisoners were given an opportunity to
sign the parole. Only six signed, the re-
naming forty-four declaring they would
not sign, as they were innocent of crime.
BOISE, Idaho, Aug. I'm the contempt
cases against the Cosur d'Alene rioters the
defense today filed a general demurrer and
plea of abatement. They were taken
under advisement by United States Dis
trict Judge Beatty. The plea in abate-
ment alleges that George Smith, Thomas
Whalen, Andrew Magnuson, Thomas
Eaton. Il. X. Robinson and John Nichol-
son are not citizens of the United States;
that S. III. Brockman and l.. Nelson are
citizens of the state of Washington, and
that Thomas Doyle is citizen of the state
of Montana. The plea further alleges that
the C9ur d'Alene Miners Union has
never been incorporated in the state of
Idaho. 1t is therefore claimed that the
action out of which the proceedings grew
is not an action between citizens of differ
ent states such as q federal court can ex-
ercise jurisdiction over.

OREGON RAILROAD RATE LAW
Commissioners Tell Governor Penn0yer
That No Change il Necessary.


SALEM. Or, Aug. Especial. This
evening the state board of railroad COM
missioners directed a letter to Governor
Pennoyer, in reply to his communication
asking the board to prepare a maximum
rate, the act to apply on all lines of rail-
road in Oregon, for submission to the
legislature.
The board says it found the present
rates just, except those of the Southern
and Union Pacific, tie schedules of which
companies the board revised. In the
Union Pacific revision already in effect,
and in the matter of the Southern Pacific
case, now on appeal to the supreme
court of Oregon, the rates proposed
and established by the commits
sion applied TO the business
of 1890, an average year, resulted in net
saving to the people of Oregon of over
$4,000. In view of these facts and having
full faith in the present law and in the in
tegrity of the courts to enforce and sup
port the same, the board feels it to be its
duty to respectfully decline to devise any
other scheme looking to legislative control
in this matter"

ANOTHER DAY WASTED.
Democrats Still hilibustering Against
Worlds Fair.


WASHINGTON CITY, Aug. Especial. l.
The Democratic House has frittered away
another day without accomplishing any
thing. Just how long the circus will be
continued is not known tonight, but the
plan of the Democratic leaders and their
scheme is simply to place the Odium of
fillbustering upon the Senate instead Of
upon the House, where it belongs. This,
of course, is the purpose of Holman's reso-
luton to reconsider the vote on the
Worlds fair appropriation, which will
probably carry.
Senator Allen is of the opinion that the
people of the country will quickly fathom
the Democratic plan and will censure that
party at the polls for its extraordinary
course in the House during the past fifteen
days. This opinion is shared by all of Mr..
Aliens colleagues on the Republican side
of the chamber. 1t is believed that the
foolish action of the Democrats in the
House insures the success Of the Repub-
lican national ticket this fall with fair
chance of that party having majority in
the next congress.
A majority of the Democrats in the
House are making strong efforts to bring
about a compromise in the Worlds fair
matter, and this afternoon conference of
forty or more members was held in the
ways and means committee rooms. Both
sides in the Democratic party were
represented. and committee to
talk over the matter within the
party following was appointed by Dockery
as follows: Against the Worlds fair,
Bankhead, Cummings, McCreary, gilbert
son and McMillin; in favor, Durborow,
Williams of Illinois, Fellows, Reilly and
Shively. The committee met after adj
journment and had long discussion over
various propositions regarding the fair
appropriation. Adjournment was finally
taken without agreement.

COBB DENIES 1T, OF COURSE.
He Drank Beer and whisky, but Was

WAsHINGroN CITY. Aug. Cobb of
Alabama took the stand in his own de-
Tense today. Several days before his
speech in the Noyes- Rockwell debate. he
engaged in the laborious work OF gathering
material, etc. His throat troubled him
and before the beginning of the speech he
requested an employee of the House
to bring hun cup of beef tea.
From time TO time he had
this sent back and replenished. Watson's
assertions that he mad told q page to
'.bring more whisky" was untrue, for he
never said it. When the whisky was
brought by the page for beef tea and
placed on his desk, he did not know 1t. He
was too much engaged at the time
in argument to notice who placed
it on his desk Cobb acknowledged that
whisky was brought HIM during the
course of the evening by some friend, but
only To relieve his throat. Ii II affected
him in voice or manner he was not con-
scious of it. He had drank little
beer during the day. When the whisky
was put before him he slipped 1t two or
three times, and when he concluded his
remarks he took another sip, but was not
made drunk by it. After sharp coiloquy
between Boatner and Watson, the CON-
mittee adjourned
