EDITOR Press: In a recent issue Of
the Press We notice an extract from
the Silver blade stating that Pred T.
Dnbcis and the silver issue were both
dead. The writer being somewhat Of 4
backwoodsman and never having heard
OF these deaths before, has been casting
about for . solution as TO the probable
time and place where they died, and he
has come TO the conclusion that It must
have been at CRur d'Alene when the
minority faction of the Republican
party emerged from the county conven-
ton, which was held there on the 18th
day Of August, 1896. For be it remem-
bered, Mr.. Editor, that this same fac
ton went into convention posing as
silver men, the spokesman OF the fac
tion declaring that the assertion that
w. A. Hart was a gOldbug was ''abso-
lutelY false" But they came out Of the
convention a. goldbugs, nevertheless.
calling q convention at Rathdrum and
nominating gOldbug ticket. The Sill
yer Blade At the same time pulled down
its chief motto which read: ~The Only
Certain Road to Prosperity: Bimetal-
ism" Certainly the silver issue died
about that time with the Silver Blade
and that faction Of the Republican
party. MORE ANON.

there was a large assembly of friends of
the couple TO witness the ceremony Sub
sequently, a reception was held at the
residence Of the groom.
The house Of James Carghill (colored),
on Gill street, was slightly damaged by
fire this afternoon. The fire is supposed
to have caught from sparks from a
passing engine.

and Archer j. Pollard
Captain c. Gray Bossieux and Corporal
c. Irving Darlington will leave to-day for
Portsmouth to look after the recruits
for the Second Regiment which have
been raised there. 1t will probably be
some days before any more are sent for
ward.
Lieutenant Hardwicke, of the old regi-
mental Company II, now attached TO the
Third Regiment, stationed at Camp Alger,
arrived here on furlough last Tues
day, and will leave again at noon to-day.
He speaks in high terms Of the camping
grounds. The food, too, has improved
since the regiment was first quartered
the early departure of the Third for
Santiago, as he says the men are not
half equipped. Many Of them need uni
forms and many more new guns. The
men are all keen for action, he says, and
have made rapid progress on the drill
ground.
Major Simons, commanding the first
battalion Of artillery, is very keen for
service, and expects that his command
will be sent on the Presidents next cali
He has three companies splendidly equip
ped, and could respond TO any call within
forty-eight hours. The battery would
need guns, however, and they have none
but the old-fashioned sort.
The general impression here Is, that the
Virginia colored troops will not be mobi-
lized in Richmond but will simply be
examined here and sent wherever the
War Department orders them.
Colonel w. Nj. Coulling. who has re-
Gently been appointed assistant quar-
termaster with the rank of captain, has
returned from Washington. His name
will probably go TO the Senate for con-
firmation to-day. 1t is thought he may
be ordered to the Philippines.
