A Letter From Dubois.

A certain portion of the press of
this state, particularly those flying
the golGbug or the middle of the
road banner, have had much to say
concerning former Senator Dubois
attitude with reference to the con-
ferenc. of silver republicans recent
ly held at Boise. They have been
representing that Mr.. Dubois was
bitterly disappointed that such
meeting had been called and that
there were serious dissentions in
the party on that account. The
presence Of many of the personal
friends of Mr. Dubois at the meet
ing, and the enthusiasm with
which they entered into the spirit
of the meeting, was sufficient to give
these stories the lie, but the follow
ing letter from Mr.. Dubois, himself,
read to the state central committee,
shows the feelings of the former
senator in the matter.

Silver Republican Resolutions

The Silver Republican state
central committee at its meeting at
Boise City this week adopted some
resolutions defining the position of
the party upon certain questions of
present Importance, leaving to the
next state convention, as is proper,
the problem of formulating a com
pete platform. The declarations
made were clear cut and leave no
doubt as to the position of the
silver republicans on the issues
treated. The resolutions were
adopted without ssenting voice.
The following resolutions were adopted:
"'Hhe silver republicans of Idaho renew
their allegiance to the principles of BIZ
metallism. They appeal to the record of
the present administration as a vindica-
tion of their judgment in rejecting the
platform adopted at st. Louis. 1t has
now been demonstrated that the promise
made favoring international bimetallism
and to which many republicans chung as
a last hope, were meaningless
"The secretary of the treasury, who is
charged with formulating and sustaining
the financial policy of the administration,
not only did not sustain the efforts of the
monetary commission while that body was
abroad, but through daily utterances,
widely published, declared that this coun-
L. -,
standard, and that the object of this ad-
ministration was to so firmly establish the
single gold standard that it could not be
shaken in the future. The president i'm
proved the first conspicuous opportunity
to sustain the utterances of his secretary;
indeed, had, by his silence, always sup
ported him. This action on the part of
the administration makes the issue clear
and no voter can consistently sustain the
present administration at the polls, and
at the same time be faithful to the cause
of bimetallism.
1--WE declare the reinstatement of hi
metallism to be the paramount issue in
American politics. and vital beyond all
issues, because upon its success depend:
the Just solution of the financial question
and the political, social and business free

WORKERS UNDER WATER.
A Perilous Job is That of the Man
Who Tolls Down in the Deep East
River Bridge Caisson.

New York Nov. 4-Bridge building in
the deep waters hereabOuts differs mater
tally from structural efforts of this sort
in most spots in the interior. Attention
was called today to some of the dangers
and difficulties encountered in the con-
struction of the new East river bridge by
the descent of the chief assistant engineer
to the working chamber of caissOn below
the river bed. He remained in the cham
Der with one of the morning gang, whose
time in the compressed air chamber is
now limited to 45 minutes every II hours.
The Importance Of the work al the river

that, in addition to 200 or over compressed
air workers, their work is being super
vised by some Is assistant engineers.
The principal occupation Of the latter

on the northwest corner is carried u feet

hnur bIIt fhev are NOT allowed to work
more than one hour and a half each day.
1t is to be expected that these sand
hogs as the air pressure men are called,
young and muscular, and more apt to be
faces tell the story of the awful strain.
Green sand hogs" when carried into the
caisson through the air lock, are usually
plugged or stopped, as they call it, on en-
tering the caisson, l. e., overcome by the
excessive air pressure. But the difficult
ties are much greater in coming out,
when, owing to the reduction in tempera-
ture, caused by the expansion of the air.
ice is at times formed about the doors of
the caisson, and the men are apt to catch
violent colds, or in extreme cases suffer
partial paralysis. These heroic workers,
come up from below the bed of the blue
waters. They have warmly heated places
where they can dress and undress, and
warm baths are provided for all who need
them So far, none of them has suffered
permanent injury, a fact which proves
that the engineers of the hour have quite
solved the problem of Hfe-saving in deep
water foundation work.

SHREWD IMPERSONATOR.
The Impostor Succeeded in Deceiving
and Almost in Marrying a Mexi-
can Heiress.

Mexico Nov. 4.-There Is a young
man in this city who nearly succeeded
in winning the hand of a rich and beau
tffuI girl by impersOnating youth who
was really dead and to whom the girl
had been betrOthed by virtue of sort
of family arrangement, since both were
infants.
The young pretender is a native of
San Luis PotOsi, but has for some time
past resided in this city, and has at
tracted attention by his elegance IN
dress and the freedom with which he
spent money. No one, however, knew
where his money came from.
Recently the young man came into
possession of certain documents belong
ing to a frontier family which had once
been of great note. Through these doc
uments the pretender learned that 1t
had been the intention of the frontier
family and another wealthy family Of
this city to effect a matrimonial al
lance a young man belonging to the
frontier family was to marry a young
lady belonging to the wealthy and
prominent family of this city. But the
young people had never met and the
young girl had never set eyes even on
a photograph of her intended husband.
Subsequent events interfered with
these family projects. The frontier
family fell from it's high position and
the young man himself died.
When the young adventurer learned of
this history plan occurred to him FOR
replenishing his pocket. This plan was

AS sort of pointer to the gentlemen
who are to engineer the proposed
worlds fair in celebration of the one
hundredth anniversary of the Louisiana
purchase, in st. Louis in 1903, the Post
Dispatch has collected the following
historical data in relation to previous
enterprises of that nature:
Some of the greatest fairs of the past
were among tragic failures from the fin
ancial point of view.
The first Worlds fair at Paris in
1855, cost S1,700,000 and only brought in
81, 2S0 600.
The next Paris Worlds fair, in 1857
cost $4O00,000; the receipts were 81, 1O0,-
OOO
The great Worlds fair at Vienna, in
1873, was a terrible financial failure
costing 81, 100000, with receipts of but
81. O3O, 600.
The Philadelphia Centennial show was
not much better. 1t cost about IS ,500,-
600; the receipts were So SOC, 0OO
In 1873 Paris had another Worlds
fair, which did not pay And again in
1889 the Parisians scored a failure in
their great exposition.
The present indications are that the
Omaha fair has been more successful
than the Chicago fair of 1893. which at
closing had an amount in hand sufF1-
Gent to pay its stockholders about 20
per cent Of their subscriptions. 1t is es-
timated that the stockholders of the
Omaha fair would receive a large per-
centage, but for the damage suits pend
