were on their feet, spectators
were craning their necks to get a
glance at the proceedings, and
the sergeant-at-arms appeared
unable to preserve order. One
senator started to lay off his coat.

February 2S,

Governor Mcconnell sent two
messages to the legislature to-
day. One of them dealt with
the necessity for some action that
will provide for the printing OF
information concerning the state
that can be transmitted to in
quirers. He transmitted a sam
pie of letters which are constant
ly being received by state officers.
"lf we expect to get the immi-
grafton which we need,' he says,
1--WE must do something to give
those who are looking westward
an idea of what we have in the

measures, among them Senator

The session of the senate OPEN
ed this morning with an apology
by Ruick for any remarks he
might have made rejecting upon
the integrity or motives of the
president or any of the members.
He was destined, though, to fig
ure in another sensational Incl
dent. He made speech against
the Bannock county bill, charg-
ing that it was part OF a scheme
to elect Governor Mcconnell SEN
ator two years hence.
Mitcham of Latah took the
floor to reply, and Ruick asked
him if he had not to-day been in
consultation with the governor
in regard to the bill.
Mitcham replied that he had
not, adding; 81 might say whom
you have been in consultation
with, but | do not want to expose
you"
Ruick strobe toward Mitcham
and shouted: "Any man who
says he can expose me is liar"
With this Mitcham seized a
mucilage bottle and fired at .Ru-
ick's head, The latter ducked,
the crowd back of the railing
ducked, the bottle few harmless
ly over their heads and crashed
through a window. Confusion
reigned for a minute, but order
was soon restored.

{ ft5ff5Te 5I{.,f3filres. Referrino to


the suggestion in his inaugural
message in favor OF a law govern
ing the location of mining claims,
he says: ''There is now a bill, /
think, in the senate relating to
this question which certainly
should be acted upon before your
adjournment, as the mining in
dustry of our state is of such
vital Importance that your CON
stituents will not hold you guilt
less if you adjourn without pass
ing this or some similar bill. "
The other measure which the
governor calls special attention
to is one to adjust the debt Of
Alturas county. He states that
the matter must be attended to-,
as otherwise the credit OF the
state itself must be smirched.
The Idaho legislature is not linn
tied as to the length of it's session,
but the members can draw pay
for only 90 days. The 60-day
period will expire on Thursday,
but the legislature can sit longer

STORES TO CLOSE.
Hundreds of Firms Fall
in Line.
Two Foreign Insurance Companies
Who Refuse to Allow Their
Clerks Rest.

The four days closing notices, circulated
by the Board of Trade. were generally
seen yesterday In many OfGthe stores
throughout the city and more especially in
the wholesale districts, east of Kcarny
street. The streets in that region pre-
scented most desolate appearance. there
being hardly visible sign of life. In the
uptown district many OF the larger houses
closed their doors during the afternoon.
and it is estimated that on Monday there
will be very little business transacted as
far as the commercial element is concerned.
At least $50 merchants have signed the
Board of Trades list to close their places
of business from yesterday afternoon until
W ednesday morning, nd it is expected that
a large number who have not put their
names to the document will follow the ex-
ample set by the others. All the Govern
ment clerks are TO be given the advantage
of the extra holiday, and. like the rest.
they will make for the country or sea-
shore and enjoy a much-needed rest.
A large majority of the butchers will
close at IL A. NJ. on both Monday and
Tuesday in order to both supply their reg
ular customers with fresh meat and also
enjoy the afternoon.
All the insurance companies save two
signed the agreement of closing. yesterday
afternoon. There was some trouble in
securing the signatures of great many of
the firms, as they objected to closing unless
the entire compact so decided. But when
it was learned that the opposing companies
were merely small foreign concerns. the
list was rapidly filled out

SHABBY CLOTHES.
They Become the Subject
of Controversy.
Witnesses Called Who Cost More
Than the Value of the
Garments.

The case concerning the estate OF Mrs.
Louisa Pangborn, deceased. came up as
usual in judge Coffey's court yesterday,
and with its customary amount of wran-
Cling.
1t will be remembered that among the
effects of decedent were number of arti-
Giles of clothing. which Mrs. Bender, the
lady at whose house Mrs. Pangborn was
residing at the time of her death. at once
packed off to the AmshOuse for the benefit
of its inmates.
But the heirs under the Pangborn will
objected to being thus summarily deprived
OF portion OF their just rights. and came
down upon Public Administrator Freese,
who had the estate in charge, to make
good the value of the clothes. at the same
time making serious charges against the
unfortunate lady who had sent the clothes
away
So for the past hundred and one weeks
the case has come up before Judge Coffey,
and witness after witness has been exam
ined upon the value Of the deceased's gar
ments. Attorney Sumner, representing
the heirs, has brought witnesses to swear
that to all intents and purposes the clothes
were worth $50. and for the other side At
torney Sullivan has examined witnesses
who have raised their hands in Mortified
protest at the bare thought of such rags
being worth more than So So"
Yesterday fresh cargo Of witnesses sat
waiting for examination, and Judge COT
fey's patience gave out. He asked where
Sullivan was. Sumner said he was away,
and wanted the case continued. But At
tOrney Choynski was there in his place.
and Judge Coffey said, "All right. Mr..
Choynski, you go on" Choynski became
alarmed and said he knew nothing Of the
case.
Very WE'LL" said Judge Coffey, 1--WE
will continue the case. But upon this
question of the value of the clothes have
set my mind. l have determined upon
their value as represented by $40. and at
such I shall assess them"
To such autocratic ruling Choynski
bowed, as he didn't want any more wit
nesses. But Sumner still held out. saying.
II put them down at at least $40, your
Honor"
you represent the heirs, of course.
understand that" retorted the Judge But
l am satisfied that the value of the clothes
is not the most important part Of the case.
On that point III hear no more. You have
| already brought a number Of witnesses
here at great expense, and the value OF the
garments las been long since passed. One
witness alone cost $40, and che assessed
the clothes at So. But I've told her that
she shall have her $40, as she is working
woman and has been here four or five
times at great trouble and loss of busl-
ness,
"But there is a serious aspect to the
matter. and that is respecting the conduct
of this woman In summarily diSposing of
the garments, and whether upon that we
can hold the administrator responsible.
On that score I'll hear further. but no
more Of the clothes as regards their value.
Pm going away for month soon. Good
by, and come again in six weeks"
The further hearing was continued until
August IL at 2P. NJ.

THE GEODETIC SURVEY.
Slow and Tedious Progress on the
Stickeen River.


Stickeen River.
News has been received by Professor
Davidson OF the United States Geodetic
and Coast Survey from his colleague.
Fremont Morse, who has charge of the
longitude station at Sitka. with reference
to the coast survey steamer which has
made two round trips to the longitude
stations at Takou Inlet, mouth of the
Stickeen River. and Unuk Inlet in Benin
Canal. carrying the chr0nometers from
the Sitka station.
Messers Ogden and McGrath have had
better weather. han the average in Alaska,
having carried the triangulatiOn and topOg
raphy we'll up the Takou Inlet. Captain
Tittman Is reported as having had a very
tough time on the Stickeen River. He
assembled the river and is making progress
slowly owing to the rapid currents.
AS it sometimes takes q whole day to
make two miles. and when once a boat
gets below camp it is next to impossible
for it to get back again. The trlangula-
ton is finished between .Wrangell and the
mouth of tho river.
The party is fitted out with Cape Ann
dcries, as if the boatmen of Cape Ann
