Platt's delegates could not be filled by

The 16 to men never had a majority
of delegates elected and the talk of the

BOISE, Idaho, May AT the Ada
I county Republican convention today
the following resolutions were adopted
First-We declare in favor of the
free coinage of silver at the ratio of
Is to l, and believe that the restora-
ton of the white metal to its place in
the monetary world is essential to the
prosperity and well being of our entire
people.
Second-We favor the proper protec-
ton to American labor, but in a tariff
sufficient to meet the revenues of the
government and to protect and shield
American labor against the pauper la
Dor of Europe, and especially that of
Asia, Japan and Mexico, which, in the
language of Senator Teller: ct is
now a most threatening evil"
Third-We believe in the free coinage
of silver and the American policy of
protection and reciprocity, as expound-
ed by James G. Blaine and William
Mckinley, jr. Both go hand lin hand
for prosperity to the great masses of
our people, and can only come with
the full recognition and enforcement
of these two all-controlling principles
We reaffirm our faith in and
loyalty to the principles of
protection and reciprocity, and
we favor the nomination as
president of the United States of an
American citizen whose record and life
represents these cardinal principles of
the Republican party-that citizen, sol
der and statesman-William Mckinley
of Ohio.
Resolved, That the Ada county Re

vention are hereby instructed to vote as

BOND ISSUES.
How the Investigation Should Be
Proceeded With Discussed.

proceeded with Discussed.
WASHINGTON, May 9.-The meth
cd of procedure in the investigation
of the recent bond issue, under the
PETER resolution, formed the subject
of consideration by the senate com
nittee on finance today No decision
was reached beyond that to have the
inquiry conducted by a subcommittee.
The membership of the committee
was not announced, nor was a decision
reached as to the number of senators
who should be appointed on it. sug-
gestions on this point ranging all the
way from three to seven. 1t was sug-
gested that in all probability the in
vestigation when begun would be a
long and tedious one and that it
might become necessary for the COM
nittee to visit other places in the
prosecution Of the proposed inquiry
Consequently it was decided to ask
the senate for authority to sit else
where than in Washington, to con-
tinue the sessions during the summer
recess, and to employ stenographers
and such other clerical help as may
be found necessary. A general dis
position was manifested by members
of the committee to avoid service on
the subcommittee and it became ap-
parent that 1t would be difficult to fill
it satisfactorily. The Democratic mem
bers of the committee generally mani
tested a deSir- to have the inveStiga-
ton begun at an early day, but the
indications are that little progress will
be made before the final adjournment
of congress.

the Herald from Buenos Ayres says:
The congress which has just con-
vened has taken up the consideration
of the Gillian protocol.
The president in his speech to the
chambers said that arbitration was I'M
queationably the only honorable course
to be pursued in the boundary dispute.
The course was in general favor in the
civilized world and it was proper that
Argentine should adopt it. He had
full confidence that any decision ar
rived at by arbitration would be sane
toned by the people. The president,
referring ITO the finances of the coun-
try said that the imports during the
year past showed an increase over the
exports of $4,000, 600 in gold The
revenue from live stock showed large
increase.
The president also referred to the
amounts expended for cruisers and war
material The report of the finance
minister is expected to throw more
light upon this subject.

BOISE, Idaho, May 9.+-It is now Ger
tain that Senator Dubois viii have p.
good majority in the Pocatello convert
ton next Saturday. All the county
conventions have been held, and NOSE
have been heard from. The policy Ge
Dubois. it is said, will be to be electe{t
to the St. Louis convention without any
pledge as to his future actions. There
will be a strong majority who viii id
sist that no man shall go to st. Louis
who is not willing to abide 10y the ra-
suit, and if the Duboisites carry out
their programme a bolt will follow and
a new convention will organize and
send straight-out Mckinley delegates
to ST. Louis. This condition has been
brought about by Dubois statements
in interviews and letters to friends that
he will not support "a straddle plat
form or straddle candidate.
