BABCOCK'S ESTIMATE.
The House as He Believes 1t Will
Stand.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.-The re-
turns thus far received on ccngression-
al elections show that the Republicans
will have a majority of the next house
but they are far too meager to permit
an accurate approximate statement Of
relative strength owing to the fact
that over three score votes have to be
put in the doubtful or unreported
column. The totals shown are 1876 Re-
publicans; 20 Democrats; % Populists,
and independents, and 81 unreported
or doubtful.

WASHINGTON. Nov. AT Repub-
hcan and Democratic congressional
headquarters tonight the chafrmen
have been figuring on the complexion
of the next house. Chairman Babcock
says that he has complete reports from
1913 congressional districts which have
elected Republicans.
There are 1876 districts that have
elected Democrats or Populists and 20
districts in which the returns are in
complete. These may be all classed
as doubtful, with the prospect that
the Republicans will secure at least
one-half Of them, which would make O.
total Republican membership in the
Goth congress of 207. 1t is safe to say
that under no circumstances will men,
bership fall below 200.
Senator Faulkner, chairman of the
Democratic committee, although he
does not concede the Republicans g.
majority in the next house, gives them
lI6, within three of a majority. His
statement issued tonight contains
table which compares the complexion
OF the next house with that Of the

TRADE TRAMPS.
MANUFACTURERS ASSOCIATION FOR
SOUTH AMERICA.
Uncle Sam Has No, Boat For Their Ac-
commodation, But Secretary Her
bert Wished Them Well.

PHILADELPHIA, June 2S.-Two
letters from the secretary of navy
have been received by Prof. Theo-
dore Search, of the National AS
ISOLATION of Manufacturers, con-
corning the trip of American man.
ufacturers to South America. Re-
ferring to the suggestion that q
United States man of war should
be placed at their disposal, Secre-
tary Herbert expresses his regret
that there is no ship in the navy
that has accommodation for SO
many persons on account of the
cramped quarters OF the officers and
crews on board the modern war
vessels.
Secretary Herbert adds: "Per-
NIT me to say that the president
sympathizes, as do, with the pur-
poses your association has in view
and most heartily wishes the en-
terprise the success which your en-
ergy so richly deserves. The de-
partment recognizes that the char.
acter of those who comprise your
association, among the broad pur-
poses they have in view, give this
enterprise a somewhat national
character and that it is not alto
gether like an ordinary case Of
merchants seeking to extend their
individual interests, and it there
fore regrets the more its inability
to comply with your request"
In the other letter Secretary Her
bert says: 81 have to request that
you will furnish the department
with the probable date OF arrival
in South America OF the represent
atives of the National Association
of Manufacturers and the name OF
the vessel conveying them, that
the commanding officer of the
United States naval force on the
South Atlantic station may be in
formed OF their approaching visit
and instructed to give them such
assistance as they desire and he be
able to render"

The Election in Doubt.

NEW YORK, June ga special
to the Herald from Valparaiso
says: The situation as far as the
election is concerned is practically
unchanged, both parties continu-
ing to claim victory for their can
didates and each showing we'll ar
ranged figures to support their as
sertions. The returns furnished to
the department of the interior are
very incomplete, especially as re-
CARDS the southern districts and
Chiloa islands. There is great
anxiety on the part Of the public.
The followers of Erraruiz, the lead
ers Of the coalition, or liberal con-
sentative party, seem TO consider
the election OF their candidate as
certain. They now declare that
without question they have ma
jority Of the presidential electors.
Frederick Erraruiz has an
nourced himself that he is elected.

Hang Makes-the-Fire and That Will
Finish Batch of Bad BlackfoOt
Indians.

SALT LAKE CITY, June 90
Three persons dead, and one
more in jail is the result OF
woman's unfaithfulness and
mans perfidy.
The dead are: Paul Videttee, a
half breed, his wife and Took a.
Fine-Gun, a full breed Indian.
The men under arrest is Makes
The-Fire, a brother Of the dead
Indian. The scene was the Black
foot Indian reservation.
Took-Fine-Gun has been paying
attention to Vidette's wife, in spite
OF the protest OF Vidette. Vidette
says he caught the couple alone,
and took shot at the Indian who
escaped uninjured. Next day
Vidette took q horse to look for
his missing cattle. He had not
gone far when two shots were
heard and Vidette's horse came
back riderless. Took.a-Fine.Gun
and Makes-the-Fire rode up, saying
they had killed Videtta. Then
they with Mrs. Videtta rode away.
Mounted police followed and in
the morning two shots were heard
in clump of bushes. An investi-
CATION revealed the bodies Of Mrs.
Vidette and Took.a-Fine.Gun. He
had killed her by shooting her
through the head and himself in
like manner. Makes-the-Fire was,
captured later, and locked up on
charge OF murder. The bodies
were buried at once to prevent the
Indians from taking the life. Of the

SPAIN IS NOT BADLY SCARED.

New York, June pa special to
the Herald from Madrid says: The
statement in the Daily Mail and Tel
egram to the effect that the platform
adopted by the st. Louis convention
causes uneasiness in Spain and that
it is feared conflict with the United
States has almost fixed date, is mis-
leading. While there does exist a
certain feeling of unrest on account of
the declaration of the convention on
the Cuban question, it must not be
imagined. that it is dictated by fear,
but rather springs from a very natu-
raj desire to know the worst at once.
There can be no question that Spain
is making preparations for eventuali-
ties, but she certainly is not doing so
in the expectation of war, but is do
ing so to be in as good position as
possible if attacked. The position of
the United States cannot be said to
be the outcome of any scare. but
there is no doubt the action of the
government has been fastened by re-
cent events. The chief idea in
strengthening the navy is to be able
to put down filibustering and privat-
eering. There is not any great indi-
cation that Mr.. Mckinley, if elected
president, willact differently, in that
capacity, than Mr., Cleveland has
done.

To the Democracy-Free Silver Craze
Will Bury the Party.
New York, June Own. C. Whit
ney, at his home, gave out the follow
ing interview:
How is the campaign progressing
Like 1860, if the truth must be
told"
What are the chances of sound
money in ChicagoT
Unless the situation changes and
our southern and western friends are
disposed to reason with us, no chance
whatever"
What do you hear from the south
and the west?"
Judging by the letters l receive
there is mo- apparent disposition to dis
cuss the matter at issue. l fear it has
gone beyond that point"
Have you asked Senators German
and Brice to attend the convention as
a party dutyT"
NO; they have no reason to believe
that they could do anything. None of
us have"
IF free coinage candidate is NOM
mated on a free coinage platform
what will be the result?"
Practically it will disrupt the DEM
ocratic party. No power on earth can
coerce or persuade sound money
Democrats to give up the fundamen-
tai principles of Democracy. They do
not regard this question as either pO-
litical, fractional or sectional. The
national credit is national
matter The Saratoga platform point
ed out the facts. 1t is said that the
preservation of our honest dealings is
for our national credit. 1t is as plain
as words can make it, and it cannot
be changed"
Therefore you do not look for a
COMPROMISED
Compromise is impossible. De-
basement of the currency would be
more than monstrous in effect. 1t
would disgrace every citizen. 1t would
not only be dishonest, it would be
dishonorable, and you cannot COM
promise a question of honor"
what do you intend to do in Chi
cago?"
do everything in our power to save
the country and protect the country.
That is the plain duty of every Demo
crat who goes to Chicago, and it is no
less the duty of those who stay at
home not to hamper the efforts of
those who go. And by those who stay
at home, mean not only Democrats
but every good citizen regardless of
politics and prejudices. The crisis
which has come upon us is the most
serious menace to national prosperity
and the welfare of the people since
1860. This is time when all men
who love their country must stand to-
gether to avert, if possible. public
disgrace and the wreck of hundreds
of homes throughout the entire coun-
try"
You do not despair of success
them
"Of course we cannot yet tell
whether the knowledge of the atti-
tude of the eastern Democrats will
affect the southern and western dele
gates who have not known in the past
how strong the feeling here is. Our
position may cause hesitation, espe-
cially among the rank and file of the
Democracy, who, | cannot believe,
want to drive all eastern democrats
out of the party. l know some of the
leaders of the movement assume that
attitude, but l am not yet convinced
that the people are behind them, and
if not they will make their wishes
known and felt"

FLAX CULTURE.

A writer in Puget Sound Mail, of
La Conner, says that when growing
flax for seed and fibre, we may fig
ure upon 3 to 4 tons of straw and
10 to 20 bushels of seed per acre.
The cultural expenses, however,
will be greater, including the hand
pulling and the larger amount of
seed required, which may be esti-
mated; Cultural expenses as esti-
mated, So; pulling, binding and
stacking, $10; ripping and clean
ing seed, $40; seed, $3.50; hauling
and housing, So; total, $3.50.
Yield, 3 to 4 tons straw, at SIS
$45 to $50; seed, $18 to 1914; total,
1868 to 1884; profit, $3.50 to 1880
per acre. A result, he thinks, far
more profitable than the farmer
can at this time ordinarily obtain.
Carrying this estimate a step
further to see what an ordinary
farmer can do if he has learned
how to ret and hand work flax by
working at odd times in the winter
and under cover: From an acre of
fax, that cost $3.50 to grow, he
can produce by hand work between
800 and 900 pounds Of fine fibre,
worth all the way from ten to forty
cents per pound, without any cash
outlay, though considerable expen-
diture of time and labor. but as the
greater portion of this labor can be
done in the house or barn in winter
time, and at spare hours, material
increase of income can be secured
with the common facilities to be
had upon an ordinary farm.-N.
W Horticulturist.

LOST HER MIND.

Another chapter has just oc-
cured in a sad domestic tragedy
that took place a couple of years
ago, says the Enterprise.
1t will be remembered that about
two years ago Mrs. Chas. Lawrence
left her home and husband for the
company of a man by the name of
Sam Peterson with whom she had
become enamored. Since that time
she has moved about a good deal,
returning from the east a few
months ago. since which time she
has made her home with the family
OF brother Of her amour who re-
sides some eight or ten miles east Of
Garfield in Idaho. Mr.. Lawrence
arrived a week ago from Oregon
and on Tuesday called on his way
ward wife. During his visit they
talked over their troubles and she
became very much troubled and
cried great deal. After Mr.. Law
rence's departure she became vio-
lently insane and attempted to kill
her friends with whom she was
staying. She will be consigned to
the insane asylum at Black foot.
Mr.. Lawrence has always con-
tended that his wife's mind has
never been quite right since spell
OF severe sickness she passed
through some time before she left
home.

SPECIAL SCHOOL TAX LEVY,


Out Of the one hundred and forty
eight school districts in Whitman
county, So have made special levies
for this year. Under a law enacted
in 1895, any district having an in
debtedness outstanding after bond
ing may certify the amount of such
Indebtedness to the board of county
commissioners, and thereupon the
board shall annually make levy
of three mills 20 pay the indebted
ness certified. Pullman district SO
was the first to take advantage of
this law. Last year it certified its
indie btedness and received the ad-
ditional levy. Under the law it
will again receive the three mills
levy this year. Palouse district 8
and Oakesdale district 50 have fol-
lowed the example Of Pullman, and
certified their Indebtedness to the
county commissioners. Each OF
these districts will, therefore, re-
ceive a three mill levy in addition
to the regular levy, making a total
levy of ten mills for district 9 and
six mills for district SO. September
list was the last day on which the
notice of special school levies could
be filed with the county auditor.

THRESHFR BURNED.

Last Friday a hot box in D. W;

the straw in the machine to ignite
destroying the machine, says the
Mirror. The thresher was working
at Skeletons place and the fire was
discovered before it had gained
much Roadway, but as there was
no water at hand it was impossible
to extinguish the flames. A span
of horses were hitched onto the
tongue in an instant, and the sep
arator was dragged away, thus saw
ing the stacks and threshed grain.
The work was accomplished SO
quickly that even the belts were
saved. The loss on the machine
amounts to several hundred dol
lars. besides the loss sustained In
