AGUs VIII Create n Most Profound
Sensation Today.

Washington, Feb 3-The reported
Kidnapping Of the officers of the United
States ship Concord at Chin Kaing,
China, reached Washington, at too late
an hour to permit it to be inquired inro
in naval or diplomatic circles. Up to 10
O'Clock no news on the subject had
heen received by any of the government
officials. The news will create a pro-
found sensation tomorrow, and unless
later reports show that the captured
officers are ait liberty, other vessels will
probably be hurried TO the scene.

Boise, Idaho, Feb. S-In senatorial cir
cles today. a graveyard silence reigned
complete.
There was total abstinence from talk
ing caucus, deals and breaks. Among the
members, there is feeling that within
the coming week a senator will be elected.
AS, to how it will be accomplished, no
views are expressed by them.
All three factions are growing more and
more restless over the long delay AMI
blocking of legislation. This fact will
spur them on to- settlement.
Speaker Cozier said to your correspond
ent tonight that if any candidate could get
twenty-seven votes tomorrow, he would
make it twenty-eight.
1t is Awful
1t is awful-this Iaw-making business
especially when they don't make any
laws.
Four weeks of the session have gone
down the aisle of time, and about all that
has been done in and about the capitol
building, is the making of BAD blood. 1t
has been made, too. After d time it may
even CONCEAL.
That twenty-fourth ballot for United
States senator yesterday, did not noticea-
bly, tire the members in casting it, but
the public was awfully tired. No wonder!
Day after day it goes ON in the same spir-
itless manner, the while the senators and
representatives in joint convention cast
their little old Stereotyped vote, and never
bat an eyelid.
Bills Piling Up.
Ellis galore are piling up both in the
senate and house. and will keep on pilinS,
it is evident. Both houses adjourned yes
terday noon until Nonday-those fellows
are "adjourners,' every mothers son Of
'em.
| On last Friday President Mills cut q
sw&th by firing Captain Gum, editor
OF the Sentinel, from the floor of the SEN
ate. Mills took umbrase at a squib in the
Sentinel containing something about bri!>-
cry being in the air. Mills is nothing If
not touchy, and he has early been voted

Personal Notes.
! Richard W.YounS, manager of The Her
aid, and W. II OdelI, of Salt Lake, came
in yesterday and are pleasantly engaged
in looking about the city.
Judge Powers says-"This is simply aW-
full I've been here three days now and
every day recalled to me the din and ey-
citement attending those good old fight
ing days in Salt Lake"
c. T. Stone, of Malad, is here for few
days. and drinking in great mouthfuls OF
I the air so heavily ladened with excite
ment.
F. w. Vogler express agent at Black
foot, came up last Friday, and wonders
why they don't elect a senator. He says
they are a swifter lot of people in his
town, when it comes to doing anything.
! a goodly number of the lawmakers went
home yesterday. It would be good tfin4

Market is Fairly Steady, But Dull.
London. Feb. 3.-The weather. which
has been severe, is now nilder. The
wheat market is fairly steady but dull,
owing mostly to American advfces as to
the financial situation in the United
States and the heavy visible supply.
There is no speculation here. The millers
buy sparingly and trade is very SLOW.
Prices are on the decline. Business in
parcels is limited. Spot is quiet at from

Arc Indignant.

Paris, Feb. S.-A Toxic dispatch
says that the Chinese ENJOYS were
quite ignorant of the trick played upon
them by the Chinese government.
They supposed they had been given
full powers to treat for peace. When
their credentials were opened it was
found they had no power either to
conclude or sign a treaty of peace.
Count Ito Hieroboumi, president of
the council of ministers, told them
that Japan was willing to reopen ne
gotiations with properly empowered
embassy.
