NO PROTEST FROM ENGLAND.
Denial of a Report Concerning 81
Julian Pauncefote.

An authoritative denial is given to the
story published yesterday that the
British ambassador had lodged pro-
test with Secretary Hay against the
jeopardizing of Englands interests in
the Nicaragua canal under the Clay
ton-Bulwer treaty. 1t is pointed out
by those in authority that not only has Sir
Julian Pauncefote not visited the State De-
partment on any such errand, but that no
steps have been taken by this government
which could be construed as changing its
attitude toward the Clayton-Bulwer treaty.
1t is further said that civilized countries
are not given in the present day to boldly
ignoring treaty responsibilities but in case
change of status is desired that mutual
discussion first paves the way for such a
step. No move of the sort has been made
by either party to the treaty, and the whole
matter stands just as it did before the
transmission of the Presidents message TO
Congress.

VICTORY FOR THE CANAL.
The senate Refused to Adjourn and
Took Up the Morgan Bill.

The Senate took action this afternoon
which is regarded as extremely favorable
TO the Nicaragua canal bill by the friends
of that measure. In order TO prevent Sena-
tor Morgan from putting his canal bill on
the calendar as unfinished business, Sena-
tor Pettigrew moved that the Senate ad-
jCurn. Earlier in the day a motion had
been adopted that when the Senate should
adjourn IT should be until Monday. This
motion caused tug of war between the
friends and enemies of the canal bill.
The understanding was very general that
every one who wished to defeat cOnsidera-
tion of the bill would vote favorably on
Mr.. Pettigrew's proposition.
The result was, however, that the motion
to adjourn was defeated by II to 13. Mr..
Morgan then placed his bill before the SEN
ate, making ii the unfinished business
This victory won at the very beginning Of
TN tight is regarded by the friends of the
canal bill as extremely encouraging.

TO OBSERVE THE ECLIPSE.
Naval Observatory superintendent
Wants an Appropriations.

There will be a total eclipse of the sun in
May, 1900, and the superintendent of the
Naval Observatory wants an appropriation
from Congress of s., 900 in order that it may
be properly observed by scientists.
The eclipse" Capt Davis says, 'is visi-
BILE at Washington only as partial eclipse.
The path of total eclipse passes through
New Orleans, La; Mobile, Ala; Raleigh,
N c., and Norfolk, Va. 1t would be neces-
sary to select observing stations at several
points on this line, to which stations prop
erly equipped parties from this observatory
would be assigned"
Foreign parties will be in this country to
observe the eclipse, and the superintendent
OF the observatory is anxious that this
country may not be behindhand in such
work

Through the efforts of the Miners
Union the spirit of antagonism that
characterizes the mine owners of the
east and their employees has not been
allowed to seriously interfere with the
progress of the industry in the west.
Efforts to introduce eastern methods
have been promptly resented, on the
theory that one man is as good as an
other while he behaves himself, and no
better than others when he does not
Thus step by step system satisfactory
to both mine owners and their men
has grown into the heart and life of
this great state, with the result that
our wage earners are men of a high
grade of intelligence with whom the in

lot box.
Little wonder then that the sugges-
tions of would-be-p -philanthropists in
the east that our mining interests
could be enlarged under revised wage
schedule is not accepted in kindly
spirit. So large a proportion of the
population of this state is composed of
laboring men, in the nature of things,
that our patriotic citizens have no de-
sire to exchange the intelligence and
good citizenship they represent for the
and dangers of the hcbo
system in vogue in some parts of the
east.-Western Mining World.

A we tbs Idaho Now.

Letters are received in Lewiston
every day, and doubtless in other places
in the state, asking for information of
Idaho farming lands and kindred ques-
tions, showing that public attention is
directed to this state as place for in
vestment and homeseeking. That such
inquiries should be answered promptly
is not a matter for argument. The
chance for giving the state that impet-
us in growth which her resources justi-
fly and which can be felt by the distri-
button of information as fast as it is
asked for, and in plain, condensed form
cannot be turned to advantage too
quickly. 1t is not necessary to discuss
what all progressive citizens are agreed
upon, that constant and intelligent
dissemination of facts about Idaho will
do good work. The main point is to
take fresh hold in the matter. To
think that because Iiaho is looming
up on the horizon as prosperous sec
tion of the United States, and because
her watchful press is telling the world
of the facts, the attention of immigra-
ton will be riveted upon her, whether
mon intelligence as to opportunities
offered by other states, and 10 the
wide-awake unceasing diligence EN-
ployed to make them known. There is
no monopoly of good things in soil, eli
mate and general betterment of the hu-
man condition in Idaho any more than
there are in other sections of the United
States. That we have in Idaho our full
share, and in many respects a superior
grade Of advantages, is fact easily de-
monstrable to the homeseeker of any |
country. We are, fortunately, under
the benign influence of what we deem
special providence, inclined to look up
on our great state with satisfaction,
and the danger in such cases is in
the rest of the world is satis-
fed too. The only real safe method of
bringing strangers to our belief is to
to them even part of our in
spiration, and manifestly the gu ickest
5urest way to do this is to respond
Iruthfully to inquiries and by supple
this with general and judicious
of information. The
time is ripe for quick action. The peo-
pie of this state have fought through
diversity with courage that displays
,he true material for the making of up
builders of states; they cannot be CEN
;ured for showing some of the effects

From the Editors Standpoint.

The following item, clipped from the
Kootenai Herald, is of such universal
application that we give it space in our
columns:
"Every newspaper is morally certain
to offend some of its readers, now and
then, if it does its duty to the public.
1t can not be helped and when an irate
subscriber orders his paper stopped,
the editor merely takes it as a matter
of course, expecting about so many
such incidents to occur during the
year, anyway. The Herald cannot re-
call a single instance where it ever lost
a subscriber in this way, but what it
said something that pleased the rest of
the community so well that it gained
several good, cash subscribers for every
one it lost. And this is probably the
experience of every well meaning news
paper. And when the irate subscriber
goes off thinking the paper will surely
bust" without his support, nine times
out of ten he has caused quite a little
boom for the editor. Looking back
over the past year, we have lost only
three subscribers and the articles
printed that lost us these were the
same articles that gained us many
times that number of new subscribers.

With the abolition of dyspepsia the

the preacher would study st. John
