THE FiREMAN'S BALL.
The Date is Fixed for Friday,
April ID.

Messrs. H. Wax, H. Orchard
and A. F. Parker, the committee
appointed on general arrangements
for the Fireman's ball, met last
evening and decided on Friday,
April IA, as the date. They will
hold another meeting shortly and
appoint the necessary committees
to carry out the details of the most
elaborate ball ever given in Idaho
county. 1t is hoped to enlist the
general support of the public and
make the date as much of a holiday
as business will permit. The hose
carts and hose, with full atten-
dance of the two fire companies
will parade the streets and make a
thorough test of the apparatus. 1t
is also hoped to have the board of
underwriters for the Pacific coast
have a representative present to
witness the test and inspect the
apparatus, and see if, with our new
water works system, we cannot get
the benefit of special rates from the
several fire insurance companies
belonging to the board.
The proceeds of the ball are to
be devoted to the purchase of a fire
bell and erection of tower, and
the price of tickets will be fixed at
So. This price may seem high, but
is voluntary tax for public pur-
poses. These matters rightly and
properly belong to the village
trustees, but in the absence of pow
er to levy special taxes for special
purposes, it is thought best to APP
peal to the public for voluntary
exhibition of public spirit for
public purpose.

tain is 55 miles from Grangeville

The mountain which gives its name
to the camp is s, 500 feet above sea

are away below that, the general
elevation probably being about
$500 feet. The surrounding
mountains are we'll timbered, and
there is abundance of water for
power and milling.
The country rock is altered

to be true assures, seem to cut the

east at an angle of l5 degrees from

north and south and easily tracea-

be the same. Buffalo Hump will
be a camp of stamps, concentra-
tors, cyanide and chlorination.

THE ABROGATION
OF THE TREATY

New York, April 25.-A special to the
Herald from Washington says: Although
Great Britain is willing to r%elinquish her
right to share in the Nicaraguan canal by
a%brogating the Bulwer-Clayton treaty in
return for a quid pro quo from the United
States, it Is apparent to officials of the
state department that she is taking meas
ures to provide transportation facilities
across Nicaragua for her own trade. No
official confirmation has been received of
the dispatch from Managua saying that
President Zelaya had granted an aption
to the British consul at Managua or to
any company he may organize to pur-
chase the railroads and steamboats, of
Nicaragua, with the workshops apper-
tanning to them, for the sum of $500, 900
pesos, silver; but the details of the agree
ment are expected by the state depart
ment. 1t is considered very significant
that a representative of Great Britain
should take measures for placing under
British control the transportation facili-
ties in Nicaragua while negotiations are
in progress between the United States
and Great Britain for the .abrogation of
the Clayton-Bulwer treaties, and with it
the surrender of the latter's rights in the
Nicaragua canal.

PORTO R|CO'S
GOVERNMENT

Washington, April 25.-Porto Rice is to
have a government modelled after that
of the District of Columbia. That was
the answer given the Porto Rican COM
missioners who presented their demands
to the president today.
President Mckinley informed the COM
missioners that while congress had final
jurisdiction over the form of government
that should be established in Porto Rico,
he, personally, "a willing to give the
residents of the island all the liberty that
was possible. He said that he a been
a careful observer of the system in vogue
in the District of Columbia, and was con-
templating such a form for the new ac-
ouisition of the United States.
This will give Porto Rico a civil govern
ment and local control of municipal af-
fairs, while the more important laws will
have to be enacted by congress-, just as
they are in the district. The number of
commissioners to be appointed has not as
yet ben determined. One of these will
probably be a native of Porto Rico, who
will represent the interests of the resi-
dents of the island, the second will be an

Fngland'S Chinese Move

London, April 25.-Evidence of the fact
that England has no intention of dimin-
ishing her hold upon China is furnished
by the news that the foreign office has
just arranged for the creation of no less
than eighteen new consulates and vice
~consulates, besides a number of inter-
preterships and consular clerkships in
the Celestial Empire. The increase of the
consular corps of China, which has been
determined upon, is destined to constitute
a heavy addition to the expenses of the
foreign office. This action on the part
Of the British government is ascribed in
Il great measure to Lord Charles Beres-
ford, who. since his return, has managed
to bring. through the chambers of COM
merce, a good deal of pressure to bear
upon the foreign office. There is such a
vast field for trade to be developed in
China that money thus expended can not
fail to bring in big returns, and no voice
is likely to be raised in opposition thereto
in parliament.

New York, April 25.-Co1 Robert G.

L suppose these out~rages-those fright

my mind that they do on the minds of all
civilized people. l know of no words
strong enough, bitter enough to express
my indignation. These horrors were per-
petrated in the name of justice. The say
ages who did these things belong to the
superior race. They are citizens of the
great republic. And yet it does not seem
possible that such tiends are human be-
ings. They are a disgrace to our country
and the human race. Let me say that
what / have said is fiatte1y compared
with what | feel. When | think Of the
other lynching-of the poor man mutt
lated and hanged without the slightest
evidence-of the negro who said these
murders would be avenged and was
brutally murdered for the u~tterance of a
natural feeling-I am utterly at loss for
words. Are the white people insane? Has
mercy fled to bear this? Has the United
States no power to protect a citizen? A
nation that cannot or will not protect
its citizens in time of peace has no right
to ask its citizens to protect it in time OF
war"
