GOLD WON'T COME.

But for the recent immense impor-
tations of foreign goods in anticipa-
tion Of the Dingley duties, we should
probably now witness a considerable
flow Of gold to this country from Eu-
rope, as our wheat flows in the other
direction. But those goods are, most
OF them, yet to be paid for; hence we
are not likely to get much gold from
that source this year. ST. Paul Pic

One Of the most convincing signs Of
returning prosperity for this section is
the scarcity of labor which always
precedes an advance in wages. It is
impossible to find men enough for the

received an advance in wages, y. and
other like advances must of necessity
soon follow.-Iaconao Ledger.

IDAHO BRIBERY INVESTIGATION.


w. j. Beard Testified That JONES
Had Told of Receiving Money.
Boise, Feb 27.-The house committee IN
vestigating the charges of bribery IN con
nection with the senatorial election helo
two sessions today. A large number OIL
witnesses were examined and some inter-
esting information developed. The COM
mtttee sits with closed doors and the tes-
timony can only be gotten by piecemeal.
1t develops from the testimony given that
JONES left the populist caucus not be-
cause of the nomination of Heitfeld, but
because Clagett had again been chosen. II
was after his departure that the demo-
cratic ultimatum against Clagett was re-
ceiyed and Heitfeld was made the noml-
nee.
The principal witness of the day was
w. J, Beard. He testified that on the
| night of the caucus he overheard hur-
ried conversation in which 1t was stated
| that some one had gone to the hot springs
| with $500 to pay man there. When the
| fact came out the next day that Perkins
| took JONES to the hot springs he recalled
| this statement. Later on he heard that
| Perkins had given JONES $3.50 and that
Fuller had paid him some money. Some
| DAYS later he charged JONES with having
| been paid money. JONES denied 1t, but
afterwards came to him and narrated ell
the circumstances.
| JONES in his testimony told similar
story, saying he concluded he might as
well tell the whole matter, since Beard
was so well informed. The making of the
affidavit followed.
The feature of the day was the effort te
discover whether or not Heitfeld had beer
shown the affidavit before leaving the
city The fact was brought out in the
testimony that copy had been taken tt
the governor for the purpose Of having
him show it to Heitfeld. The governo
was called before the committee. H
stated that he placed the copy of the aft
davit in Senator Heitfeld's hands.
There has been manifest reluctance t
have the fact brought out officially tina
the senator knew Of this charge before h
left the city. Friends of Representativ
Fuller, who left with the senator as III
private secretary have telegraphed him t
return and face the accusation. They ex
pect him to arrive Tuesday. He wire
them from Sidney, Neb., this morning
asking for further particulars. These wer
sent, and it is expected he will turn bac
upon receipt of the dispatch.

IDAHO BILL TO STOP GAMBLING.
Lively Contest Over a Bill in the
Upper House.

Boise, Idaho, Feb. 27.-In the senate this
morning Rees' joint memorial asking for
the calling of a national constitutional
convention was passed. 1t Is a depart
ure from the usual practice, which is to
ask congress to submit certain amend
ments to the legislatures of the states.
There was a lively contest over the bill
to prohibit gambling. When the measure
was received from the house a motion
was made to suspend the rules and pass
1t at once. Opposition developed, which
took the form of a claim that the bill
needed amendment. The motion to sus-
pend was then withdrawn. The president
had referred the bill to the committee
on education. A motion was made to
make the reference to the judiciary COM
mittee. This resulted in tie vote, which
was decided in the negative by the presi-
dent.
motion to instruct the committee on
education to report Monday morning re-
suited in tie. This was decided by Pres
ident Moore in the affirmative.
In the afternoon the bill to establish
a state system for the eradication OF
weed and fruit pests was under consider
alton. The only vote was on the section
making an appropriation. That was tax
en- up ahead of its order, as 1t was felt
that 1t was the crucial section. 1t was
adopted without division after the appro-
| priation had been reduced from $12,5OO te
| SIC, 900.
Ane house had number of important
bills before 1t. The bill to grant fran.

HANNA INsTRucTs oREeoNlANs
Election of a Republican Senatar
Vital Necessity There. "

Washington, Feb. T.-Chairman Hanna ana
party arrived at the Arlington hotel this morn.
ing Hanna went to the capitol immediatelv
and was in conference with the republican
senators. He had an extended consultation with
Senator Hoar, chairman of the judiciary com
mittee upon the senatorial situation in Oregon
An effort is being made by Hanna as chairman
of the national committe to secure the election
of a republican senator in Oregon. The fact
that the legislature was never organized raises
a question as to the ability of those now sitting
at Salem to adjourn. There has been consider
able telegraphic correspondence between Hanna
and the republicans of Oregon, and 1t may re-
suit in an agreement of the republicans OF the
legislature to elect senator. Senator Hoar
intimated to Hanna his belief that appoint
ment by the governor would not be accepted by
the senate.

Idaho Has a Real Investigation by

bribed to vote for Henry Heitfeld for
United States senator. AS soon as the
house journal had been approved, Repre-
sentative Perkins of Blaine, one of those
whom JONES accuses of having paid him
money, rose to a question of personal
privilege. He said:

ROUTINE WORK IN BOTH HOUSES
County Fee Bill Passed the Senate
Bill to Stop Gambling.

Boise. Idaho, Feb. 26.-The senate dis
posed of considerable business today. The
county fee bill was finally passed with
five dissenting voues. Inc bill to prevent
entry of deficiency judgments, favorite
populist measure, came to grief. 1t was
defeated by a vote of II to 8. The house
bill to amend the law governing the To-
cation of placer claims was passed. In
committee of the whole the house bill to
authorize fidelity companies to become
sureties on official bonds was indefinitely
postponed. A joint resolution looking to
the calling of constitutional convention
was also killed.
The house disposed of quite number of
bills at the afternoon and evening ses-
siCns. The most important act of that
body was the passage by a large majority
of bill to prohibit gambling in the state.
That vice is now neutralzed under a Ii
cense system. The law has long been felt
to be a reproach and the passage of this
bill may be regarded as the first fruits OF
extension of the right of suffrage to wo-
men.
