MINING BOOMING IN IDAHO.
General Prosperity Throughout the
State Being Enjoyed.
(Specinl to The Herald.)

Washington, d. c., Dec. 1.-Senator
Heitfeld of Idaho said today that the
mining industry is extending. owing to
the long strike in the Occur d'-Alene
district, Idaho, which caused many
miners to go prospecting on their own
responsibility.
There have been discovered in this
manner several deposits OF ore. such
as, for instance. the Buffalo Hump
district, which promises to be one OF
the great mining camps of the north
west; the Seven Devils district is also
doing remarkably well, and is a new
camp. There is a sign of general pros
perity throughout the state. which must
be accredited TO the fact that new and
hitherto undeveloped and uncultivated
districts are being settled and ex
plotted.
Concerning politics, Senator Heitfeid
says that there has been slight stam-
pede from the camps OF the silver Re-
publicans back into their old party, but
the stampede has not been large enough
to change the politics of the state,
which will be entirely favorable to the
Bryan doctrines and platform.
Silver is still the main issue in the
state" he said, "and will win, but it Is
impossible to even conjecture what
course the people will follow in politics
of purely local import. The term of
my colleague in the senate will expire
next year, and it is hard to tell at this
time who will be his successor

FRANCE IS UNAOY[O
Threats of Mr.. Chamberlain Are
Regarded Lightly.
COMMENT OF NEWSPAPERS
SAY KAIsER's VISIT TO ENG
LAND WAS POLITICAL.
Profess to Have No Fear of the
Suggested Triple Alliance, Which
They Declare to Be An Eccentric
Proposition-British Ambassador
May Leave Paris.

Paris, Dec. 1.-Some of the newspa-
pers attach considerable Importance to
the utterances of Joseph Chamberlain
at Leicester yesterday. and consider
they show that Emperor Williams visit
to England was partially political. The
majority. however. characterize certain
of Mr. Chamberlains declarations as
empty threats and regard the sugges-
tion of an alliance between Great Brit
ain and the United States and Germany
as simply eccentric.
The Matin observes that Mr.. Cham
berlain alludes to the alliance as an
accomplished fact and as being his
work: and .'seizes on the opportunity to
address threats to France, which leave
us as unmoved as does the famous
prospect of new triple alliance"
The Journal urges the recall of Ad-
miral Fournier's squadron from the
Levant, in view of ''eventualities which
may arise from the present anti-Brit-

Admiral Fournier is on board the

tinople. where the sultan will formal
ly receive him today. The rest of the
French fleet awaits Admiral Fournier
at Smyrna.

Be REFUSED ROBERTS
Republicans in the House Decide to Make the Case
An Extreme Party Question.
To Be Kept Out While Committee Makes Investigation
of Charges Against Utah Representative.

night contains a letter from William
r. Campbell of Salt Lake, in which he
attacks Senator Rawlins' position on
the question of investigating presiden-
tial nominations of Mormons to federal
office. He says:
1T is true that some of the federal
officials of this state who have been ap-
pointed By President Mckinley are po-
iygamists. We now have the .oroofs
and shall submit them to the president
so as to give him the same chance to
vindicate his administration by their
removal as the house will have to vim
dictate itself, when the proofs against
Roberts are submitted. We do not
blame the president for having been
imposed upon until he has had a chance
to examine the evidence. Neither do
we blame representatives in congress
for not rejecting Roberts before they
have had a chance to examine the evil
dence.
1T is not a partisan question in any
sense of the term. This is an opinion
based upon personal correspondence
which has reached beyond 10000 letters
touching every county in the United
States. since the election of Roberts
1T is clear that the American people
have mace up their minds that a polyg-
amist must not hold public office in this
country. and as soon as the president
and congress have the evidence they
will act in accordance with the man
dates of the OeOOle''

New York, Dec. IA dispatch to the
Herald from Manila says: General
Lawton is at Bayombong. in the Caya-

munication with the insurgents over
the wire in their possession. and the
commanders of the opposing forces are
considering propositions made by tele-
graph looking TO the surrender of the
rebels to the Americans.
Washington. Dec. c..1.-Considerable in
terest is felt here in the news that the
insurgents at Bayonbong have surren-
dered. particularly as the number is
said to exceed that captured by the
United States troops at any one time.
Bayombong is the city to which
AguinalGo at one time contemplated
retreating for the purpose of locating
the rebel capital after he was forced
to flee from Tarlac, but the American
troops pressed him so hard that he was
unable to carry out his intention.

of the voyage of the transport between

London, Dec. 2, 4:S0 a. m--Absolute
silence has fallen over affairs in South
Africa. The war Office has not vet re-
ceived Lord Methuens casualty list.
The public and the. press, hitherto pa
tient, are beginning to murmur at the
apparently needless delay which keeps
many families in state of painful sus-
pense.
1t is regarded as practically certain
that Lord Methuen has been reinforced
by a battalion of the Gordon Highland
ers- regiment of cavalry and a battery
of ARTILLERY, and that De Aar is being
daily reinforced by troops to hold the
lines of communication. 1t is supposed
that the Natal advance has been de-
layed by the necessity of getting sup
plies to Pietermaritzburg. but not a
word emanates from any of the various
commands.
Lieutenant General Sir Charles Mans

RosFBERY TAKES ISSUE.
Depreciates Speech of Chamberlain
In Reference to France.

London, Dec Lord Rosebery,
speaking at Edinburgh this evening,
deprecated Mr.. Chamberlain reference
to France in his speech at Leicester,
and said:
I'VE have no right to go into the
cutters to fish up the derelict press of
any country and to hold it up TO scorn
or as a motive of our policy. 1t is i'm
possible that the queen could be be-
smirched by such attacks. which only
recoil on the attackers; and whatever
the degraded outburst may mean, it
does not represent the best or highest
opinion of France.
I'VE have been over-ready to f1out
other nations, and it is no wonder that
Great Britain is unpopular abroad. We
trust that this undiplomatic frankness
will cease for these stinging words
rankle long afterward, and it is not for
statesmen to speak under the passing
irritation of the moment

Washington, d. g, Dec. 1.-The Re-
publicans will strive to make the Rob-
erts case an extreme party question
Knowing that the moment party lines
are drawn expulsion by two-thirds is
hopeless, they will endeavor to bring
the case up in some way that a ma
jority vote will be sufficient to deprive
Utah of representation.
An informal Republican conference
held in the room OF the committee on
interstate commerce this evening
reached this decision. Speaker-to- be
Henderson was present, and il Is ad-
mitted that an unwarranted and un-
Drecedented course is to be taken.
When Utah is reached on the roll OF
states, Hepburn of Iowa is authorized
TO offer protest and the clerk of the
house. who will be presiding, will ask
Mr.. Roberts to step aside. On the COM
pletion of the rollcsll it is proposed to

pointed by the speaker. and which viii

Unprecedented In History.
Members whose seats have been con-
tested have many times been asked to
step aside, but never before in the his
tory of the country has this course been
taken with a member whose credentials
were conceded to be perfect.
The Republican conspirators have not
yet formulated the pfan by which they
hope to finally prevent Mr.. Roberts
from being sworn in. 1t will have to
be very skillful one to win, for many
Republicans have expressed themselves
as more than doubtful about the right
of congress to deprive a duly-elected
member es his seat.
The Democratic leaders are very in
dignant over the course taken in try
ing to make this party matter. and
the methods to be used 20 prevent the
Utah member from being sworn in.
and there VIII certainly be some very
exciting moments on Monday.

the question of his title many Repub-
heans will take an opposite position
