Boise. Ida. Jan. 23.-The ballot for
United States senator today was fea-
tureless. But one vote was taken. with
no material change from that of pre-
viOus days. 1t was: Clagett, Pop).
IS; Dubois. Is. RI, 26: Nelson, (Pop1.
1S; ]. c. Rogers. Pop), 2; ]. F. ALL
SHE, (Reo), 1.
Again three Democrats voted with
the Populists for Clagett while the
main strength of the Democratic vote
went to Nelson. The vote seems to
bear the statement made last night
that the Clagett men had determinSA
to force matters and would not allo-S
any other POpulist to receive the Pop
ulist strength for some time The
week ends with the contest apparently
no nearer a solution than when it be-
gan, and many are of the opinion that
il will drag through the entire ses-
sion. The Democrats have repeatedly
shown their antagOniSm to Clagett. and
as often shown their Willingness to
elect Nelson or Lewis, but the Clagett-
ties continue to control the POpulist
caucus and it is believed so long as
they do there will be no election of a
POpulist, if any one else.
A rumOr has been circulated that the
Silver Republicans, when it became ap-
parent Dubois chances were hopeless,
would throw their support 10 eX-Con-
gresham Sweet, who, it is said, would
unite enough votes from various fac
tions 70 elect him, but the statement
has, so far, received no official confirm
sation. 1t was also stated tonight,
that Senator Teller was coming to
Idaho to assist Dubois, but the Silver
Republicans claim there is nothing in
il. 1t had been expected that today
there would be a small break of Demo-
Gratis to Dubois, but it failed of ma
terializatiOn. thus giving rise to the
suspicion that the Democrats were en-
reference to Silver Republicans as they
have in dealing with Populists.
REID BILL POSTPONED.
An interesting feature of the work of
the senate was the indefinite postpone
ment of the Reid bill to give effect to
the provision of the constitution, which
provides that when a member of the
legislature rides on a free pass, the
number of miles so travelled shall be
deducted from his allowance for mile
age. While this provision stands in
the constitution there is no method
of enforcing it. as the bill provides
for only one affidavit to be made by the
member showing the number of miles
ne had travelled on pass. The senate,
however, did not seem disposed to give
effect to the constitutional provision,
the bill being killed.
The business of the house was with
cut special incident. A number of bills
were introduced, the total number TO
date being SO.

Gage Has No Objection to the Treas
urv Portfo1iu

Chicago. Jan. 23.-In view of Major Nc
Kinley's consideration of Lyman ]. Gage
for the portfolio of the treasury, and the
statements published regarding the bank
er in this connection, Mr.. Gage said to-
night TO the United Associated Presses:
L have not been rendered the appoint
ment to that position, but should it be
rendered TO me, | should not feel at lib
erty TO decline it. If Mr.. Mckinley is
considering my name in connection with
the treasury portfolio but shall finally
determine upon some other man, I shall
feel no sense of disappointment or cha
grin. but shall congratulate myself that
personal sacrifice in many directions is
not required of me.
Il am a Democrat in the sense that I
believe in government of the people, by
the people. and for the people. l do not
believe in paternalism in government. A

than q Republican ticket, except once. and
that was in 1884. when L voted for Grover
Cleveland | voted for Harrison in 1892
and of course for Mckinley in 1896. The
platform of the last Republican national
convention embodies my political ideas
as applied to the issues then and now be-
fore the country.
Under the constitution. revenue cannot
be raised by direct taxation. We are
obliged, therefore, to resort to indirect
taxation, and no form of indirect taxation
is less burdensome or more practical than
the imposition of duties on foreign i'm
ports. TniS taxation should be so ordered,
however. as not to foster mOnopolies.

President Gage free to decide if he should

port that some of the Weber county
members were likely to go to- Thatcher
was very emphatically denied. One of
the workers, however. privately admit
ted the possibility of losing Speaker
Perkins, but believed the others would
remain steadfast.
All indications point to a renewal of
the struggle tomorrow with no new
candidates or new complications. For
day or two longer it will continue to
be a question of endurance, and if no
break occurs, a dark horse or two may
be led out about the middle of the
week. However, there is still a strong
expectation that one of the three lead
ing candidates will be elected and it
seems to be generally conceded that
the honor should go to one of the
three.
1t is known that the Thatcher side
hope to make inroads upon Hender-
sons strength tomorrow, and are par
tlcularly sanguine of securing some of
the Weber members. They claim that
Perkins has given them en-
couragement, and the Ogden mass
meeting last night was expected to
afford him justification for the change.
Mrs. Anderson is also said to be in
cllned towards Thatcher.
From near friend of Mr. Perkins
II was learned that he left for home
last evening in a somewhat disgusted
MOOD. He had been badgered and har-
fassed by this and that side until he

INDIA'S FAMINE.
Contributions Are Being Steadily
Received From London.


London, Jan: 2s.@ss contributions to
the Indian famine relief fund at the
Mansion House by Lord Mayor Fau-
dal-Phillips are being steadily re-
ceived, but thus far they have not
come up to popular expectations. The
subscriptions of the queen, who sent
$500, and the Prince and Princess of
Wales, who together contributed e250,
have been overshadowed by the do
nations of Mr.. William Waldorf Astor
and j. S. Morgan & Co., the former
subscribing &2,000 and the latter
91,0O0. Some comment has been
caused by the smallness of the sub
scription of the queen, who is empress
of India, but as her majesty has never
been noted for free-handed generosity,
her donation of $500 should cause no
comment, but should be received in
the spirit of small favors, thankfully
received. The Prince of Wales j is as
is well known, never burdened with
any great excess of cash, and his gift,
small as it is, is therefore all the more
appreciated. The fund is now getting
on to the 100000 mark, but, compared
with the last fund for a similar pur-
pose, which amounted to about $780,
900, it is as yet comparatively insig-
nificant. This is no doubt due to the
stupid action Of the government, which
when the fund was first proposed
threw cold water upon it, only to later
have to acknowledge that such a fund
would be necessary to keep thousands
of the poverty-stricken natives of In
dia from starvation.
The optimistic views expressed
short time ago by the Indian govern
ment in the face of the appalling con-
ditions confronting it, are difficult to
understand, but everybody has now
awakened to the extent of the dire
calamity that has befallen India, and
without doubt the purses of the rich
people of England will soon be opened
to pour a stream of gold to succor
their fellow subjects who are now in
such terrible distress.

"LITTLE PETE"
One of the Most Noted and Notorious
of Chinese Shot Dead.

San Francisco, Jan. 23.-Fong Ching,
otherwise known as Little Pete, the
most noted and notorious Chinaman
in California. was shot and killed in
a Chinese barber shop tonight by one
or more highbinders. Little Pete's"
last escapade was to bribe horse jock
eys at the Bay District track. Jockeys
Chorn, Heinrichs and Chevalia were
ruled off the turf for life for their con-
nection with the job. and Fong Ching
was refused .admittance to the Cali
fornia tracks. He has also served a
term in San Quentin for jury bribing
and now stands accused of manufac-
turing and circulating spurious coin.

CASE AGAINST COONEY.
Very Important Point Now Being
Urged.

San Francisco, Jan. 23.-An import
ant point urged in the case against eX-
Notary Cooney for forgery in connec-
ton with the Fair will case is that the
notary used a blank containing the
words Ito me" which it is claimed were
not in the blanks issued by Crocker &
Co. at the time when the acknowledge
ment is said to have been made.
Notary Colvin, of Alameda county,
now presents a deed acknowledged be-
fore him on Crocker blanks of that
period in which the words Ito me" oc

imnortant bearing on the case.

y one of the Thatcher leaders ex-
pressed the belief last evening that the
Henderson forces would have gone to
pieces under the stress of continued
balloting and thought the Thatcher
side would have reaped an advantage
from the breakup. On the other hand,
a Henderson manager was quite GER
tain the Thatcher men would not have
remained together and believed a ma
iority of the Thatcher votes would
have gone to Henderson. If these two
beliefs are generally shared by the re-
spective sides it is difficult to under

Stock of Silver Certificates.

Washington, Jan. 23.-The secretary
of the treasury has informed the senate
that unless immediate steps are taken
to increase the daily delivery of silver
certificates in small denominations by
the bureau of engraving and printing.
the stock of such certificates in the
treasury will be so depleted as to pre-
vent the redemption of the denomina-
tlons usually called for by the banks.
He recommends an appropriation of
$4,000 for increasing the force to keep
up with the demand.

God, we. the citizens of Ogden City
and Weber county in mass meeting
assembled, earnestly and vigorously
Resolve, That we respectfully re-
quest our representatives in the state
legislature to hereafter vote for Hon.
] Mosese Thatcher for the following po-
I tent reasons:
''First-Because the people of Weber
county are anxious to see the state of
Utah represented in the senate of the
United States by Hon. Moses Thatcher.
Second-BecauSe Hon. Moses
Thatcher has always been the unequiv-
ocal and uncompromising advocate of
the free and unlimited coinage of silver
by the United States. without waiting
for the advice or consent of any ma
tion on earth.
''Third-Because Hon. Moses Thatch-
er stands squarely on the Chicago plat
form
'Fifth-Because wherever there is a
man who loves justice, personal liber-
ty, liberty of conscience, freedom of
speech, and civil and religious liberty,
and abhors absolutism in the individ-
ual in the state, and in the nation,
there you will find a man who loves
Hon. Moses Thatcher as the embodi-
ment of those noble characteristics.
''F'ifth-Because the people of Weber
county and the state of Utah heartily
sincerely and enthusiastically endorse
the Hon. Moses Thatcher for his earn
est, distinct, manly and patriotic
championship, through all the trying
scenes of the past, of the nine declara-
tions of principles adopted by the DEM
ocratic reconvened convention of Octo-
Der, 1885,
A STORM OF AYES.
The vote was taken resulting in a
storm of ayes and a few noes. The
noes were asked to stand and four
men arose.
Hon. David Evans spoke briefly and
received the closest attention with
bursts of hearty applause whenever
Thatchers name was mentioned.
Moses Thatcher, he said, should be
elected because he represented the
of personal liberty. The
church had right to discipline any
man as a church man and in a church
way, but there the discipline should
cease. Moses Thatcher had been
dropped. That was all right or at least
was a matter for those who dropped
him to decide; but there the discipline
should have ended. This question
must be faced fairly. By the election
of Moses Thatcher this principle would
be emphasized and settled and the
work of a generation would be accom-
plished. (Applause)
The crowd called for T. D. Johnson,
who said that the argument is being
held over the Weber members that the
nominating them was

The striotest cleanliness In every de-
tail concerning lamps Is Of the greatest
Importance not only to insure o good

ventive against danger. Odd bits Of
wick allowed to collect anywhere near

Lamps that arc but rarely used should
