PoPULIsT SPLIT IN IDAHO.
Contest In Courts Over the Filing Of
Tickets.
Especial to The Herald.)

Especial TO The Herald)
Boise, Ida. Sept. 12-The Populists
have not yet go their case in shape to
go into court. Secretary of State Lewis
has not decided what he will do about
filing the ticket of the Taylor conven-
ton, offered after the Blake ticket had
been filed. He has referred the matter
to the attorney general for an opinion
as to his duty in the premises. In the
meantime. the Taylor people, in view of
the possibility of the other ticket being
certified to the county auditors before
the initiation of proceedings to settle
the question CT regularity, have filed a
protest with the secretary.
1t appears that at the time the Ger
tificate of nominations of the Blake
convention were prepared, the officers
also signed a protest against the filing
of any other ticket
The law makes no provision for the
guidance of the secretary of state in
such case as this. 1t simply says that
tickets nominated at conventions or
primary meetings shall be filed with the
secretary, and that official shall certify
to the county auditors the names and
description of each person nominated
for such office. as specified in the GER
tificate of nomination filed ~th the
secretary of state"
But the matter will he taken into
court as soon as the secretary acts. The
sparring now appears to be over which
faction shall be obliged to take the
initiative

CRUISE, AROUND THE HORN.
Fleet of Golfers Will Accompany the
Oregon and Iowa.

Washington, Sept. 12.-The navy de-
partment is shifting some of the officers
of the battleships Oregon and Iowa,
preparatory to their departure from
New York on their long cruise to San
Francisco, by way of the straits of
Magellan. The department has selected
from among the fleet of colliers ac-
quired during the war four of the best
and largest TO accompany the battle
ships on their long run. These are the
Cassius. Scindia. Alexander and Aber-
endia, and their coal capacity is suf-
fcient to insure g full supply for thel
big battleships as we'll as for them
selves without subjecting the fleet to
take on coal on account of the techni-
cal existence of a state of war between
the United States and Spain. No at
tempt is to be made to drive the big
ships SO as to equal the famous run
of the Oregon coming eastward. the
need for the ships on the Pacific side
not being so pressing as to warrant
incurring the risk of injuring the
boilers or machinery by keeping up
full speed.
1t is expected that the battleships
with their cOlliers will be able to start
from New York about the end of this
month.

A THOUSAND VICTIMS AT KoT.
zEBUE SOUND.
Not a Dollars Worth of Gold Has
Been Found-Waiting For a
Chance to Leave.

Port Townsend, Wash. Sept. 12.-W. G.
Strong. who arrived here today from st.
Michaels on the steamer Garonne. says
that the Garonne sighted considerable
wreckage west of Unamik pass. The
wreckage appeared to be that of a schoon-
err but 10 marks of Identification We're
FOUND.
NJ. Strong says that Kotzebue sound
has proven to be another source of disap-
poinJment. Misfortune has been the lot
of a large number of prospectors who
were lured TO that section by stories of
its golden wealth Parties just from
there report most distressing conditions
of affairs Not one dollars worth of gold
has been found and l,JeO men are camped
on the beach, awaiting an opportunity 10
get away. Nearly as many more are in
the mountains working their way to the
beach to secure transportation out
Forty thousand dollars worth of supplies
are piled on the beach and being offered
for sale but purchasers cannot be found.
There are several small schooners in the
sound which will soon sail, bringing all
they can accommodate. 1t is thought
that gold exists at the headwaters of the
streams emptying into kotzebue, but
these streams are not navigable for
canoes, and the mountains are almost i'm
Dassable. One or TWO expeditions have
been organized to reach the headwaters
of the streams, but they will go up the
Koukuk river and cross the divide on the
snow this winter.
Among the arrivals today from st.
Michaels is a party consisting of W. H

This party took 40-foot steam launch
to ST. Michaels to be used in transporting
their supplies up the Yukon river and also
in prospecting various streams. On Aug.
1S, just before they were to start up the
river, a severe storm visited st. Michaels
wrecking the craft, which. together with
two years outfit, went to the bottom

storm wrecked several other small crafts
and huge wave carried a large stern

A decided revision of the fire escape

that state factory inspectors had little
power in compelling factory owners to

PUBLIC servants are very much like
newspapers in one respect. A news
paper may advocate the interests of
its advertisers all the year, but let one
little foolish paragraph about people
spending their coin abroad slip in,
and all those advertisers forget all the
good the paper has tried to do. Let
the County Commissioners or other
public officers, too, serve faithfully all
the year, and one mistake or over
sight will arouse the ire of some one
who feels himself aggrieved. 1t
doesn't seem fair, does it ?.
