I8reed to Vote the silver Ticket "a
Boise, but Went Back ON His
Promise.

Occur d'Alene, Idaho. Aug. 3O.-The
sfndiznation here over A. A. Crane
action in going over to the gold stand
*afd republican convention at Boise
reached it's climax last night, when an
effigy of Crane was suspended from
the electric light wires over Sherman
street. Attached to the dummy was a
placard on which were the words, ''Ac-
clamation Crane" A portrait of the
Judas Iscariot hung suspended from
the feet. The grewsome object was left
hanging until 10 o'clock this morning
before being removed. 1t caused much
comment.
Crane is the silver republican candi-
date for state senator from this coun-
ty, having received his nomination
with the express understanding that he
was a strong supporter of Senator Du-
bois and an uncompromising silver
man. Heswas also elected one of the
IA de4agates to the state convention
with the understanding that he would
work with the silver republicans. He
went to Boise under the above condi-
tions, and the people were astounded
at the position he assumed by going
into the gold standard convention.
When the news of his change of front
reached here, the indignation became
very pronounced, and all else was lost
sight of in the discussion of his action.
G. B. King was also delegate to the
convention and refused to take part in
either gathering, although he gave his
proxy and turned others which he held
ever to a delegate who voted them
with the silver republicans. The excuse
Offered for his action is that the silver
republicans proposed to indorse Dor
ton of the people's-democratic fusion
ticket recently nominated by the dem
ocrats and populists..
Cranes action makes his defeat at
the polls certain, should he remain on
the ticket. The sentiment here is
strongly against him, and reports in
dictate that the same feeling exists in
other parts of the county. 1t is thought
that he will decline the nomination for
senator.

FL0TAING MOUNTAINS OF ICE
Have Been Exceptionally Numerous
in the North Atlantic.

Icebergs in the north Atlantic this sGa-
son have been exceptionally numerous,
especially near the southeastern extrem-
ity of Newfoundland. Incoming vessels
at st. Johns, N. F., report passing ice
bergs continuously. One field of ice pass
ed was four miles wide and q miles long,
and as many as 125 bergs We're sighted
at one time from one point. Several
lofty masses of ice are also reported, one
being 800 feet high and over 400 feet long.
Ieebergs of over 1000 feet above the sea
surface have not infrequently been re-
ported in the southern ocean, 1900 feet
being the greatest height recorded but
berg 600 feet high in the north Atlantic
is exceptional. When it is remembered
that icebergs are submerged six-seve 1ths
OF their height one 600 feet high above
the water surface represents a mass al
most a mile high.

fld 41u:ttb<fT was the ticket he
Wanted nominated Then, 1t is said,
Mr.. Crane stated that he could not sup
port a ticket of that kind, but that he
would come around in the morning to
talk the matter over farther. 1t is
said that Senator Dubois said that
there would be no need of further talk
ing, and that forthwith Mr.. Crane left
the silver ranks, leaving also his prox-
les, and walked into the gold camp.
1t is charged against Mr.. Crane that
before he left Spokane week ago he
was over the fence into Mark Hanna 5
back yard, and that he wore a necktie
with two pictures concealed under the
neat silk One of these was of Bryan
and the other of Mckinley. To each
of the pictures was attached string,
so that the picture might be pulled in
view of the person to whom he was
speaking. Then, they say, that when
Mr.. Crane was talking to free silver
man he pulled the Bryan string, and
when talking to a gold man the Nc
Kinley string. But somehow or other
it has been suggested, before he was
five hours on the road TO Boise, the
Bryan string broke, and from that
time on he was right in the front rank
of the gold men.
Mr.. Crane was nominated at the
Kootenai county republican conven-
ton as a Dubois man; that is, if he
was elected to the legislature-and the
free silver men had no doubt that they
would elect him-he would go to Boise
to work for the reelection of Senator
Dubois. Now they are in a predica-
ment, for they can not support him
and in all probabilities the free silver
| republicans will put up another man
to take his place. This was the way
the matter was discussed last evening.

MINERS STRIKE COST $4,000
LeadviIIe Trouble no Nearer SOlu-
ton Than Before.

Leadville, Col, Aug. SO-This is the
18th day of the great strike, and marks
the inception of the most important &C
ton taken on either side, as for the first
time since long before the strike began,
the pumps in two of the leading mines,
the Bon Air and the Penrose, are idle.
The order for stoppage came last night,
and was obeyed at once. The movement
means that the mine owners hope to force
the union to declare the strike off, or that
they think to avoid trouble by closing
down on everything, and allowing the
mines to fill with water, rather than
submit to the dictation of the union.
The strike has already cost fully ST.
900, 900, and there is nothing to indicate
that it is any nearer a settlement than
on the day it began.

CONSUL MurH ON SUGAR LAW
Austrians Are CO-Operating With
Germany.

Washington, Aug. 30.-The state depart
ment has received report from Consul
Muth at Madgeburg, Austria, as to the
new Austrian sugar laws, framed in CO.
operation with Germany. The consump-
ton tax is raised from $4.45 to 1925 per
kilos, and the total amount of export
bounty to be granted by the government
is increased from $685., 900 to $8,6 400 The
new law went into effect August l last.
The effect of this was to further aid the
development of the Austrian sugar in
dustry.
Consul Muth says that France has ad-
vanced her duties on sugar in order to
keep out the competition of German SUI
gars, and he predicts that this autumn
France will increase her export bounties
in order to meet German sugars in the
worlds markets.
