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, 20: Nelson, (Pop1.
10; ]. 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 Exon
gresham Sweet, who, it is said, would
unite enough votes from various fac
tons 70 elect him, but the statement
has, so far, received no official confirm
cation. 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.

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.

So
Necessary to a Choice.

The senatorial managers are unani-
nous in the belief that had the joint
assembly continued balloting yesterday
afternoon a most distressing smash
up would have resulted, but there is
much disagreement as to who would
have been smashed. Four ballots had
been taken and Rawlins had gained
Murdoch from Thatcher and Sorenson
from Henderson, when recess was
taken to 2:3O. Early in the day all the
members had expressed an eager de-
sire 10 continue the balloting to a de-
cisive termination of the contest. Dur
ing the recess, however, an agreement
seemed to have been entered into be-
tween the Henderson and Thatcher
forces to postpone further balloting
until Monday. The Rawlins side en-
couraged by their gains. were in no
mood to retire from the fray, and voted
solidly against adjournment, but were
borne down by the combination
against them. Their anxiety for more
ballots was subsequently explained by
the statement that they had received

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-
enlargement, 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 Disguised
MOOD. He had been badgered and har-
raised by this and that side until he

MADE MILLIONS.
Brown Will Be a Bigger Man Than
Barnato.

BdrnatO.
Denver, Colo, jan Pr E. Brown y
noted American mining engineer of Pre-
toria, South Africa, who is on his wav
from san Francisco to London. learned
for the first time through a press dis
patch from Pretoria that the high court
mad decided in his favor a suit which he
brought against the government for a
declaration of rights in his favor re-
Specting certain claims at Witfontain. or
IN default demanding the payment of
t,OOO,OOO or over 5000, 900. The dispatch
further stated that the suit arose from
the government proclaiming Witfontain
to be open for gold mining on a certain
date, whereuDon Mr.. Brown staked out
large blocks of claims; but, in the mean
time. the government withdrew the proc
lamation. and afterwards proclaimed Wit
fontain under the lottery law. This, in
brief, IS the explanation of one of the
most remarkable mining enterprises on a
gigantic scale ever consummated in mod
ern times, and it even eclipSes the famous
operations of the notorious Barney Bar
nato, in that it has been successfully car
ried out under the sanction of the law
the decision of the highest court in the
Transvaal proclaimng TO the world its
legitimacy.
Mr. Brown has been in the country for
several weeks making examinations of
properties in California and Colorado
consequently has had no opportunity to
communicate with any of his branch
offices to confirm the telegram. He is on
his way to London, where his principal
offices are. He has been in South Africa
four years. and for u years was en-
Washington when first discoveries of sill
yer and lead were made IN the former
camp. He made an examination of Grip
pie Creek five months ago and considers it
a great camp. Mr.. Brown firmly believes
that the west is destined to enjoy great
future in regard to mining.

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 Eau
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.
