Washington, Jan. 1O.-Vo.ing upon
the Pacific railroad funding bill and
amendments will occupy the house to-
morrow The vote is likely to be close,
but it is believed the bill will be de-
feated.
For the remainder of the week ap-
preparation bills viii probably have the
right of way.
The managers of the house are deter
mined that no measures imposing ad-
ditional charges either upon Fne credit
or the revenues OF the government shall
receive consideration at this session III
they can prevent it.
The Nicaragua canal bill and several
other propositions involving financial
responsibilities may, therefore, be con-
sidered dead so far as this congress lF
concerned.
On Saturday afternoon the house will
constructively listen to euloSies upon
the late ex-Speaker Crisp of Georgia.

IDAHO SENATORSHIP.-
CONSIDERABLY GUESSING IS
BEING DONE.
Belief, However, Seems to Be Pretty
General That Dubois Chances
Are Very Good.

Boise, Jan. ia week that is
fraught with so much Importance to
senatorial candidates and their friends
cleared. So far as leading candidates
are concerned there has been no
change since the members of the legis-
lature gathered here. What attitude
the Populists will take respecting their
own candidate, remains much in
doubt, While the Democratic wing Of
the fusion is still an enigma. The
most important news that has yet de-
Veloped, reference to which was made
in these dispatches last night, on the
strength of what then was but rumor,
is to the effect that the Populists, after
a great number OF conferences, at
which efforts were made to determine
whom they could put forward with
the hope OF securing Democratic sup
port for him, determined not to caucus
on senatorships until Wednesday
night. Assuming this to be true, it is
most important. 1t has been quite
generally believsd that Judge Claggett,
though the overwhelming choice of the
Populist members cannot secure suf
ticient Democratic votes to elect him,
consequently there are a number of
Populists who will not cast more than
one or two ballots for him.
THE IDEA.
The idea seems to be that, if he is
given the caucus nomination, the party
will be obliged to hold together as a
unit for him, running the risk of bring
ing about conditions under which cleo
ton of any POpulist would be rendered
hopeless. The theory is that some
other candidate can be selected after
il shall have been demonstrated that
the judge cannot be elected. Those
who are put in the list of members
v no viii vote tor Judge Claggett-in the
first ballot are: Andrews, Hampton.
Urdohl. Nelson, Randolph, Waite.
Morgan, Reed, Mitchell, Heitfeld,
Flanagan and Goldensmith. Total, 16.

pCrterS, namely, Perkins, Rogers.

nor any Of his managers talk about a

fidence in his election. Tney do not
say what votes they expect to get,
nor when they look for the needed ac-
cesSiOns. Secretary Walsh. of the
Democratic national committee, is still
here, and is watching the situation
closely.

DUBOIS STOCK ADVANCES

Dubois stock is up several points to-
night. The cause is the news secured
from the house committee on privi-
leges and elections on the contest
case. whereby it is desired to throw
out Mulliner and Capps, Dubois men,
in the interest of anti-Dubois fusion
lists. The committee has unanimously
decided to report in favor of the
Dubois members. The report will be
made tomorrow and it viii be adopted
beyond question. Another thing that
gives cause for additional rejoicing
among Dubois men is the belief that
the senate committee will follow the
action OF the house committee and
report adversely on the contest to
Gust Turner, Duboisite, in that
branch. The senate committee had de-
cided to report without recommended
ton. two Of its members favoring the
sitting member, two against him and
the fifth refusing TO decide it. 1t is
now believed the action of the house
committee viii have the effect of a re-
port favorable TO Turner.

forced the issue upon the country, but
compelled the Democrats TO support it.
What do you think the silver Repub-
licans will do?'' was asked.
1T was. noticeable that while rank and

ing to do with the Democrats. and ] be-
l;eve if they decide TO merge win any

party and is often spoken of as a Popu-
list and should the issues we raise be-
