IDAHO'S SENATORIAL FIGHT.
General Sentiment Demands a Choice
Before Adjournment.

BOISE, Idaho, February 22.-While all
the contestants in the senatorial fight are
apparently firm in their determination TO
prolong the deadlock, it is pretty well I'M
derstood that the legislature will select a
Senator before adjournment. Sentiment in
The state is SO decidedly against adjourn
ment without election that few of the men,
berS would care to return to their con-
stttuents without having decided the con-
test AS it stands now, Sweets fight is
apparently hopeless until he can get the
uCpulIsts' support, contingency which
seems remote, after the failure TO Sc
cure action in that direction by the popu-
list caucus last night. Shoups election
depends largely on a possible break in
sweets support, and it is predicted the
break will come early next week. when it
IS demonstrated beyond doubt that Sweet
has no hope of populst votes.
In case the deadlock is prolonged until
the last days of the session. which closes
March I. it is expected that dark horse
Will be put forward. In that event Gov.
AIcConnells chances are considered eN-

EXTRA SESSION TALK.
Representatives DO Not Think the
PresisIcnt Desires to Call One.

Representatives DO Not Think the
President Desires to Call One.
Members of the House who are supposed
to know something of the purposes Of
President Cleveland do not credit the re-
ports that he has any definite intention to
call an extra session of Congress. They do
not claim to know what the intentions of
the President may be, but they argue from
circumstances that an extra session is
improbable. The outflow of gold from the
treasury has ceased for the time being,a and
these members believe, rejecting perhaps
the current opinion in administration cir
cles, that the recent bond issue will tide
the government over for several months,
perhaps put the treasury on its feet, so to
speak. if the prediction of Secretary Car
Isle that the receipts are to meet eXpendl-
lures be fulfilled.
Much capital has been made of a remark
which the President made yesterday to
party of members-elect who called upon
him, asking them how they would like TO
be called to Washington on the 10th of
March. The general opinion Is that Mr.
Cleveland was merely joking, or that if he
had any design in the question 1t was a
diplomatic one. They surmiSe that Presl-
dent Cleveland does not desire a special
session of the Fffty-fourth Congress, and
that he might have intended to spur Con-
sress to finish all its necessary work by
limiting that he would not hesitate to call
the next Congress together II there was

The Result to Turn ON His Mental

curiosity as to the proba bic outcome OF the
case of Mai. W. II. Wham of the bay

barracks, Washington, in August last, on
charges of financial Irregularities i'll con-
ncction with large real estate tranS&c-
lion 1t is said that some of the charges
were sustained, and that the officer was
sentenced to dismissal The record of the
court has been before the Secretary of
War for some time. Pending action upon
it, a question arose as to Mag. Wham S
mental responsibility. and n beard of rnedi-
cal officers, with Deputy Surgeon General
WolVerton as president, was appointed to
pass upon that poiut. The Impression in
military circles is that if Maj. " ham is ad-
judged mentally irresponsible, he viii he
placed on the retired list, bat that If he
is found to be mentally sound. he will be
punished in accordance with the sentence
OF the court martial by which he tried.
That sentence. already stated, is under
