column through personal dislike of Lee
Mantle, the present nominee, who has
taken Senator Sanders place in the fight.
One representative, Burns, did it because
of alleged broken promises made to him
on his pet bill and another Republican,
Benson, did it because his Democratic as
sociates from the same county left his own
party on account of broken Democratic
promises made to him on bill creating
the new county of Broadwater. The fifth
Representative Annear did it, he an
nounced while casting his vote, to settle
matters and save Representative David
son, the sick Democrat, from attending
the sessions of the Joint assembly at the
risk of his life.
Davidson has been carried in on an in
valid chair the past two days to vote for
Clarke. There were great many pairs
and but 30 votes cast; of these Clarke got
27, Mantle %, Dixon and Sanders L, that
of Tierney, a Broadwater county Demo-
crat. The Clarke men at once tried to
get another ballot, but the Republicans
and Dixon Democrats waited and carried
a motion to adjourn by only l majority.
This vote stood 81 to 80, or two more than
had voted for senator. showing that two
who were paired must have stood on di-
vision
The Republicans are talking of drop
ping Mantle and going back to Sanders
who held the Republican column I'M
broken for four weeks. The Clarke men
fear that the long wait over Sunday may
result in the Republicans getting back
into party lines.

An OUTBIIRST CT CHOLERA.
Views of a Special Health Officer
of the United States.
WILL SWEEP ALL EUROPE.
DR.. Kempster Has Completed a Tour
OF the Cholera District.
he Says the Present Year the Plague
WIN Not Be Simply Sporadic-Sup-
pressing the Number of Deaths
at Hamburg.

BERLIN, Feb. 11.-Dr. Kempster, spe-
cial health officer of the United States. has
Just arrived in Berlin after a tour of in
spection at Hamburg, Bremen, CasseI and
Neitleben. He told a newspaper repre-
sentative today that he was convinced the
present year would see a fierce outburst OF
cholera all over the continent, and in
stead of being sporadic, as in 1892, the
plague would sweep the whole OF
Europe. DR.. Kempster related Incl
dents connected with his visit to
certain large town in reference of which
local sanitary reports are unreliable,
DR.. Kempster also discovered discrep-
ancles between the published figures of
the cholera and the number of cases
registered on the government lists, show
ing that the figures are kept from the
public. The cholera visitation at Holle-
bus has died out for five successive days.
During the past week the reichstag has
discussed the merits and dement's OF So
clalism. No special resolution was in
volved, yet well assumed preparations OF
important political events through series
OF interesting phases at first of small aP-
parent moment, but rapidly developing
into a general battle which excited all
parties and arrested the attention OF the
whole country. The debate was attended
with several exchanges of acrimonious
language. Talk in the lobby turned upon
the possibility of the speech in de-
bate assisting in bringing about
the much hoped for coalition of various
groups into law and order party against
the Socialists, but the Freisinninge and
Contrast parties are separated by a gulf
which it is not possible to permanently
bridge.
The committee on the army bill are pro-
ceeding so slowly that the bill will not
likely come up for a second reading until
after the Easter recess.

a PRETTY FIGHT PROMISED.
Kansas Populists Getting Ready for q
Tussle With the Courts.

Kansas Fopulists Getting Ready for a
Tussle With the Courts.
TOPEKA, Kan, Feb. 1.-THE Populist
house has passed ten of the senate appro-
priation bills, thus inviting the test the
Republicans have claimed to be so anx-
ious to apply for action on in the courts.
The populists have determined to go
ahead with the long delayed work and
when temporary restraining order is
issued by the district Judge to prevent the
state treasurer from paying out any of
the state funds that official will disregard
the order. He will act under caucus di-
rections, holding that district Judge
cannot set aside the provisions of the
constitution defining the duties of a state
official and therefore will pay no heed to
the order served upon him. In case the
judge commits him for contempt the
governor will at once pardon him and set
him free.
The Republicans will bring suit Tues
day before Judge Johnson who will di
rect the sheriff to pay no attention to the
pardon or other order from the Governor
on the ground that the latter has no juris-
diction in cases OF contempt. 1t promises
to be pretty fight.

FLOODS IN CALIFORNIA.
The San Joaquin Valley Covered With
Water.

The San Joaquin Valley Covered With
Water.
BAKERSFIELD, CAL, Feb. 1.-Un-
usually heavy rains in the San joaquin
valley and in the mountains have swollen
the streams to abnormal size, and on
Thursday night the Keen river overf1owed
its banks, flooding large section of
country in this vicinity. At first it was
thought the damage done was consider
able, but no lives were lost and not much
damage was done except to railroads,
canals and bridges, all of which settled or
gave way. 1t is difficult to get particulars
of the damage from the country below
but it is the general opinion that, with
the exception of the railroad and canal
companies, the food viii do more good
than harm.
The river has apparently changed its
course and if this is so there will be
scramble for new water locations and the
Kern County Land company, which con-
trolls all present water rights, may lose its
monopoly. Bakersfield is not injured at
all by the overflow and lew people left
their dwellings and only in one case did
water enter house.

COLNE ON THE STAND.
The Secretary of the American Com
mittee Tells His Story.
His Testimony Is Defective and He Is
Unable to Explain the Accounts of
the Panama Canal Company.

WASHINGTON, Feb. n.-Nr. COlne,
secretary of the American committee, was
again on the witness stand this morning
before the Panama investigating commit
tee. He was examined with reference to
accounts in the blotter heretofore laid be
fore the committee, but his testimony
threw no light on the entries. He stated
that he had not seen the books for four
years, and could not explain the meaning
of certain numbers similar in character
to the number to denote pages in ledger
usually used with blotter account books.
Witness said he could not refer to the
ledger, for there was none. The order
system had been adopted, and it might
refer to the number of orders.
Representative Geary evidently thought
it possible the numbers might refer to
dollars, and that they either represented
the amount actually paid, while another
amount was put under the regular dollar
mark, or else they represented the amount
turned in and the other amount actually
spent. In the Ingersoll account Mr..
Geary said there was s., 900 marked down
and the two numbers there amounted to
$40, $50. Under the head of ''Petty Cash.
there was 500 down and also the number
% marked in the account.
Mr.. Geary asked If 5000 was not the
amount actually expended and the other
amount turned in.
Witness asserted that this theory was
not plausible or good and that the num-
Der might refer to something else
To Mr.. Geary he said, when the fnan-
cial statement was Su omitted to Paris it
was accompanied by letter. Tue letter
book was kept and he understood it was
now in the possession OF counsel. They
were Bristow, Lynde, Stetson and one OF
the firm of Seligman.
The committee then got into a discus
sion over the failure of witnesses to appear
and it was finally decided to go to New
York Monday for the examination of
witnesses there. 1t was suggested that the
committee go to Indiana and examine ex-
Secretary Thompson.
Mr.. Geary said that Mr.. Thompson was
evidently the man who had transacted the
business and who could throw the most
light on affairs, and who handled the
money, Seligman being simply his
banker.
Mr.. Colne stated to the committee that
Mr.. Thompson knew scarcely anything
about the accounts, that he (Colne), at
tended to them. OF course, submitting
statement to Mr.. Thompson when he
came into the Office three or four times a

A ROW IN IDAHO.
Bitter Fight in the Legislature Over the
Mills Resolution.

Bltter f1Shb IN the Legislature over the
Mills Resolution.
BOISE, Ida, Feb. 11.-[Special. THE
house was at a deadlock this afternoon
until after o'clock, on resolution by
Mills of Bingham, to send ten delegates
to the bimetallic league meeting at Wash
ington, D. c., on the 22d of this month
The resolution provides for the appoint
ment by the governor of ten delegates,
and the Populists and Democrats wanted
to dictate to the governor how they should
be made, claiming there should be three
of each party, which the Republicans
repudiated. The deadlock was finally
raised by vote to suspend the rules and
put the measure through, two of the
Democratic members going over and
breaking the combination. Many Popu-
list and Democratic members then LETT
the room, but were brought back under
arrest. The resolution finally passed by
a vote OF 81 to 2. Bogard, Democrat, and
McCarter, Populist, voting in the mega
tive.
In the course OF his remarks on the sub
iect, Ballantine, Populist of Alturas, said
Governor Mcconnell had promised several
days ago to appoint three delegates from
each party, but today had deliberately
broken his word. The Republican mem
bers forced him to retract amid great con-
fusion.
The governor said tonight that the
Democrats and Populists had tried to
coerce him and had the slate fixed up.
There is no doubt but that the Democrats
and Populists will combine in the senate
and kill the measure, although leading
men of the former party are trying to get
the Democratic senators in line.
In the senate Workmen's house bill,
appropriating $3.50, 600 to build a system
of state wagon roads, passed.

ley claims to have a contract with the
Coney Island Athletic club as agent at
stipulated salary of So 900 per annum.
He is about bringing suit for amages for
violation of contract. Lumley says the
club is now the best money making in
stitution in the country. In round fig
ures the club has made about S175, 900 net
profit. Out this amount John McKane
got the modest sum of $S7 800; just half
of the net profits. The rest OF the money
has been divided among the sporting JUS
tees OF the peace and hangers on.

RUTLAND, VT, Feb. 11.-One of the
worst disasters in the history of marble
quarrying occurred at West Rutland a
little after / clock this afternoon, in
quarry operated by the Vermont Mar
bic company. A great mass OF stone fell
into the quarry and seven men were in
stantly killed and number of others in
jured. The victims were crushed so
some could not be recognized.
AS soon as the accident happened the
electric danger signal was rung in at the
company's Office and the mills were
stopped at once. All the doctors in West
Rutland were called by phone and re-
sponded quickly; also scores of men were
sent down to the quarry.
Soon the news spread to the street and
hundreds OF men, women and children
hurried to the quarry and by 8 O. clock the
vicinity was crowded. In the crowd were
many relatives of the dead or injured
men and they were frantic with grief.
The accident was near the extreme end
OF the quarry, far under the hill. The
killed and some of the injured were buried
under tons of rock and the work of res
cue was necessarily difficult. The cause
of the caving in is not positively known.
E. B. Morse, treasurer of the company,
said the cause was not certain, though
"scale'' or part of the roof that fell was
probably loosened by freezing.

Regarding Her Husbands Sentice.
PARIS, Feb. 11.-FJgaro publishes an
interview with Madame Ferdinand De-
Lesseps, had since the conviction and
sentence of her husband. She was
courageous and resolute as ever, and as
earnest as ever in the belief in her hus-
band S innocence. She said her husband
who is very weak, was a week ago seized
with delirium that lasted all day. Then
he had a relapse, and had since remained
in state OF coma. Abiding to the
severity of the sentences on her husband
and son she said:
81 prefer this. 1t is a fitting climax,
that both father and son be condemned.
The very enornity of the sentences will
the better protect our honor, than less
thorOugh-gOing injustice would have
done. l do not need consolation, for L
have Preached the end of my Calvary.
Nevertheless there is one thing above all
cannot forgive, that is that before
striking at such a man, they waited until
physical infrmity rendered it impossible
for him to defend himself. 1t Is better
perhaps that Ferdinand DeLesseps should
be unable to know of the frightful
character of the blow. When think of
the possibility of Ferdinand DeLesseps
being put in prison, ask myself whether

Miner, Killed in Shaft.
LEADvILLE, Colo, Feb. 11.-One of the
saddest accidents that has been recorded
in the annals of this city occurred yester-
day afternoon. F. W. Norton, well
known mining man, who owns an inter-
est in the Shamrock on Carbonate hill,
went to that mine with the view of in
spectlng it's workings and, there being
no one at the mine at the time, started
down the Underway to the bottom. After
many hours had passed and he not put
ting in an appearance, his friends, who
lived close by, became alarmed at his
long absence and Immediately started
down the Underway.
When within five feet of the bottom a
horrible sight met their eyes. Norton's
body lay at the last rung OF the ladder and
was battered almost to jelly. 1t appears
from the condition of the ladder, which
was covered with snow for some distance
down. that ne had only gotten down four
runps when he slipped and fell to the bot
tom. a distance of 165 feet.
. Death must have been instantaneous.
