WALLACE, Ida, May 27.-TSpecial tele-
gram TO THE HERALD. Governor Wiley
and ]. f. Curtis arrived in the city yester-
day afternoon over the Ceur d'Alene
narrow gauge road from Spokane. Hun
dreds of people thronged the depot and
much excitement was manifested upon the
arrival of the governor.
A reception committee was on hand and
Mr.. Wiley was given hearty welcome,
after which the party was taken to the
Fuller house in carriages. After dinner
the governor was driven about the city
and enjoyed the sights very much. On his
return to the hotel he was serenaded by
the Wallace brass brand. Several selec-
tons had been rendered by the band when
shouts for the governor could be heard on
all sides.
He was finally induced to make few
remarks and was introduced to the people
from the Fuller house balcony. The gov
enor thanked the people for the reception
given him and said he hoped to be better
acquainted before his departure for Boise.
He would remain here several days, and
during that time intended to visit the sew
eral towns and carefully look into the stu
alton.
]. F. Curtis was then introduced and
made few pleasing remarks.
On being interviewed by your CORE
spondent, the governor said: ~ have
every reason to believe that the Coeur d.
Alene will soon become one of the first
mining countries of the northwest. 1t is
to be regretted that trouble should exist
here at this time. In regrd to than sensa
tional article published in the Spokane
newspapers, l will say that it eminated
from the brain of one person in Boise, and
was gross misrepresentation of facts in
the case. | did not receive letter from
| Mr.. Dickinson OF the Northern Pacific
stating that number of persons had been
going through trains at Mullen and inter
fering with passengers and asking for pro
lection. made up my mind to take trir
up there and investigate the matter per
ssonaIly. intend to visit each of the towns
and hear what both sides have TO say, after
which [ will make my decisions 1t appears
to be very quiet and peaceable here al
present.
