To Lin The Ohio Capitol.

A Chicago contractor has made
proposition to lift the massive
capitol of Ohio and place another
story under the structure. For the
accomplishment of this remarkable
feat be asks the sum Of $500, 600.
State Senator Miller has promised
to introduce = bill to provide the
funds for the undertaking. The
present capitol is said to be mad
equate to the needs of the various
state departments.
The Ohio capital, built of native
lime stone, is one of the most mas
sive buildings in the country, and
covers more than two acres. 1t lie
estimated that there are many hun
dred thousand tons of stone in the
structure. The contractor proposes
to raise this immense structure
without disturbing . single occu-
pant Of tho building. He would
cut off the building at the base,
and raise it with screws. He esti-
mates that the work alone would
require . forest Of timber, thousands
Of screws and the labor Of = thous-
and men for three weeks. The en-
tire work Of completing the struc-
turs would occupy about three
months.

Silver Republicans Disagree.

The executive committee of the
silver republican state COMMITTEES
met at Pocatello Monday. After
fully considering the call issued by
Chairman Patrie for q conference
of silver republicans at Boise on
February 28th and for meeting o1
the state committee at the same
place on March 1st, in was decided
to suspend the call until such time
az the matter can be discussed by
the full committee. The committee
adjourned to meet in Pocatello
February Goth.
1t has been rumored for some
time that Chairman Patrie and Sec.
rotary Bassett are not in harmony
over the matter of holding the pro.
posed conference, and the Pocatello
meeting seems to reflect differ
euce of that kind.
1t is said that ex-senator Dubois
strenuously opposes y conference
of the silver Republicans. and that
he has gone SO far as to request
Chairman Patrie to lend no official
sanction to the conference plan.
There seems to be a spirit of antag-
onism existing between ex-Con-
gresham Sweet and Mr.. Dubois on
that account, the former favoring q
conference Of the silver Republicans
while the latter wishes to formulate
the plans for the course of the silver
Republicans to pursue during the
coming campaign. The ex Senator
says az long as he is the recognized
leader Of his party that he proposes
to be the leader and dictate its
policy.
It's fun for the goldbug Republi-
cans to watch the rumpus in :he
silver Republican camp. Anything
to cause split up.

The Maine" Blown Up.

The United States battleship
"Maine" was blown up Tuesday
evening while lying in Havana har
Dor. Out of total number of 1854
officers and crew but 90 were saved
Many theories are advanced as to
the terrible disaster. The NavaI
department believe a magazine ex
ploded. Secretary Long has taken
immediate steps to make an in
vestigation. Wednesday afternoon
he telegraphed to Admiral Sicard a,
Key West to appoint a board Of
naval officers to proceed at once to
Havana, employ divers and gener.
orally to make such inquiries as the
regulations of the navy demand
shall be made in the case of loss oil
ship. When the divers get to
work it will then be known what
caused the explosion.
Elk MINISTER DE LONE TALKS.
A dispatch from New York Feb
10th says: Senior de LONE heard
the news of the disaster to the
"Maine" this morning. At first
De LONE refused to credit the news,
but when the truth dawned upon
him he said: ut is terrible.
pray God the news has been exag-
gerated. You may be sure of one
thing, however, no Spainard did
this. Like myself, all Spaniards
of Importance entertain friendly
feelings toward this country. There
will be no war; there can be no
war between America and Spain.
This appalling disaster forces me
to declaration that l love America
as | do no other country than my
own"
Some advance the theory that
the explosion was the work of a
Spanish torpedo.

Boise Statesman Frank r. Good.
ing, who is up from Shoshone, makes
a very interesting report of the
condition Of the sheep growing in
dustry this winter. In Lincoln
county, he says, the owners are all
feeding, and as far % be knows this
is the rule everywhere. In Lin.
coin there is hay enough to carry
the flocks through, though they are
feeding some that 10 three years
old. Mr.. Gooding's Aocks will
consume about 1000 tons. He has
fed some all winter and has had
all his sheep on hay since the 14th
of January.
Mr.. Gooding believes that feeding
of sheep will hereafter be the regular
practice among all owners, because
it pays. In the best season the
feed on the winter range is very
poor, and the flock owner loses
more than he gains. In the FIRST
place the wool that Z sheep scratches
off in the sagebrush would pay for
the hay it would eat. In the second
place the wool Of the we'll fed sheep
is longer than that Of the animal
left in = half-starved condition.
Again, the increase 10 greater and
the lambs stronger whom the ewes
are in good condition. Mr.. Goodinr
says the clip will be hsavy and the
prices high and that wool will COM
mand from IL to IA cents on board
the cars here. Last year the average
price realized was about 8 cents.
Mr.. Gooding stored bic last years
clip in Boston and il hae increased
in value 5000. He has had to pay
6 per cent interest on money ad.
vanced on it, also storage and in
surance charges, but these items OF
expense arc trifling compared With
the increased value of the clip.

The De LONE Episode.

Senior Dupuy de LONE, Spanish
Minister to the United States, is in
disgrace and has resigned. Hi,
downfall was brought about by the
Cuban junta getting possession O
private letter of the minister il
which President Mckinley was Sc
versly criticised and his policy de.
scribed as weak and vacillatinc
The amusing feature of the inciden,
is the fact that while the President
has been playing into the hands Of
Spain and treating that country
with altogether too much consider
alton, her representatives here have
been laughing at him and privately
explaining to their friends what an
"easy mark" he is. In other words,
De Lone accuses the President oil
playing deceptive game by pan
dering to Spain and to the LIMOGES
OF his own party at the same time.
Such an insult to the President
of the United States is not to be
wondered at. Spain and her repre-
sentatives have no respect for our
government, simply because, 40 De
LONE declared, the President 10 too
week-too much of = policy man
to command respect. If President
Mckinley possesses the least parti-
Gle Of spunk in his anatomy he
would get even with Spain by usins
his Administrative influence in be-
half of Cuban Independence. That
would be the worst punishment the
United States could inflict upon
that country for the insolence of
her representatives.
II is 10 be hoped that the De LONE
episode will have the effect of re-
mlndiDg President McKinley that
be should cease to Be simply the
vassal Of financial clique. Who
care nothing for his degradation 40
long - their ends are served.

THE PRESIDENT OF PERU
Chat With Him at Lima About His Country
and the Monroe Doctrine

in Lima, but the president he support
ed was ousted by revolution under
Gen. Pardo, and Pierola was banished.
Then there was another revolution with
President Balta at its head and Pierola
came back to Lima as secretary of the
treasury.
He was secretary at the time that
Meiggs, the American, inaugurated
great system of railroads and public
improvements, and together they made
the money flow faster than the river
Rimac, In trying to develop Peru. EX-
President Pardo now again appeared
with another army and drove Balta
and Pierola out. This was just twenty
years ago. Several years later came
the war with Chile, and Pierola was
called back as one of the commanders
Of the Peruvian troops. His army was
defeated, and it was charged at the
time that he had sold out to the Chill
cans. In the meantime President Pardo
had fled the country and Pierola be-
came dictator. The Chileans, having
conquered. refused to recognize him, as
they knew he would not consent to
give up the rich nitrate fields, which
were the real cause of the war. They
then put up one of their own tools as
president, and Pierola was banished
third time. He fled to France, and
did not return until Gen. Caceres was
president in 1886. Caceres was, l am
told, highway robber of the first mag
nitude.
His wife, who was .orisi ally a vabo-=
IA, woman following the army, was
with him in his peculati- MS, and con-
cessions and privileges were sold by

tenn of public granaries there was no
want. There was plenty of gold and
silver, but neither metal was used as
money. and the people, in fact, do not
seem to have had money. They were
hard working and peaceful when the
Spaniards invaded them and took away
the richest booty that one nation ever
got by depressing another.
From one Inca temple Pizarro took
$4,000 pounds Of gold and $4,000 pounds
Of silver. The silver nails in one tenn
pie weighed 1000 ounces, You remem-
Der the room half full Of gold which
the Inca king gathered for him as a
ransom. They collected vast quanti-
ties of the precious metals from the
cities, temples and palaces from other
parts Of the country and made Spain
rich for century or more. They en-
shaved the people and made them work
for them, and later on brought Afri-
cans and other slaves in to aid them
In the mines and on their plantations.
They had here the richest silver mines
known, when silver was at par with
gold, and for centuries fairly rolled in
wealth. In addition to this they had
the vast labor capital of the Indians.
The civilized Indians of Peru are not
accumulators. They do not care for
more than the day, and they are will

These people, even after slavery was
abolished, continued to labor for the
whites. They are very good class of
workmen. and had they been handled
by English or any other Anglo-Saxon
combination, Peru would still be the
Weahhest country of this hemisphere.
Under the Spaniards the area of cultl-
waited land became steadily less, the
population fell off, and there is not one
third as many people here now as when
Pizarro came. The roads, notwith-
standing modern inventions, are not as
good as they were in the days of the
Incas, and the condition of the common
people is very much worse.

the war with the Chile remained rich.

THE CONGRESS OF PERU.
I paid visit today to the two houses
of congress of Peru. This country has
constitution which Is modelled some
what after ours. The law-making
power Is composed Of a senate and
house of deputies The senators are
elected for four years and the deputies
for two. The sessions begin on the
18th Of July, which is the anniversary
OF Peru's independence of Spain, and
they last ninety days. The salary Of
each member of, congress is $15 in Sill
NSi q uoy, Ut ABOUT @i.oV III Oul iioilcy.
Deputies must be twenty-five years Of
age and have an income of $500 year.
Senators must be thirty-f1ve years Of
age and have an income of $1,000
year. If the members are, however,
professors of science the question Of
income Is not raised.
Both houses are on the Plaza of the
Inquisition, where that terrible court
sat in times past. Peru was the
center of Catholicism in Western
South America for more than
two centuries, and from the
Isthmus of Panama to the Straits
of Magellan heretics were brought here
to be tried. The most horrible of tor
lures were used and many were burned
at the stake 1t is a strange common
tary on the changes of the times that
the senate of Peru sits today in the

court held it's sessions, and that
