The Seven Devils Railroad.

The Weiser & Seven Devils rail
road is surely to be built and the
town of Weiser is second only to
Grangeville in the boom she is hav-
ing. The name of the company
constructing the road is the Pacific
& Idaho Northern. About 10
miles above Weiser the road strikes
the river canyon into Middle val
ley, thence to Salubria in the Up
per valley, and thence to Council
valley where the road leaves the
Weiser river and takes up Hornet
creek to the Seven Devils. The
country traversed by this road is
IS fertile as any in Idaho. The eli

GU b0 raised there.
I5e ultimate extension of that
road down the Little Salmon and
main Salmon rivers and thence to
railroad connections on Camas
prairie is as certain to come as
death and taxation. Meanwhile
we congratulate our sister, Wash
ington county, on the career of
prosperity before her.

NJ. V. Pound returned from
Buffalo Hump last week, where he
had been with a load of freight for
the Cotter Mining Claim company.
This ledge was discovered last sum-
mer before the importance of Buffalo
lktulnp was known. After the rich
nhS of Big Buffalo ore was pub
-9ished last fall, Mr.. Cotter became
interested in his claims. He got as
says made OF some samples of his
ore and found it to be very rich.
The average assays were over sew
enty dollars. The ledge is ten feet
wide and thoroughly mineralized.
The location is seven miles from
Buffalo on Wind river on the Snake
creek trail. This claim is owned
BY Jim Justice, Maj. Potter and
Clarence Pound, of this place.

Experience has taught prospec-
tors that the best field to operate in
ia the one which shows activity and
steady progress-the one which is
drawing the crowd. 1t is much
easier in such districts for the pros
pector who has found a good claim
and made showing on it, to attract
the capitalist to assist in properly
developing his property or taking
1t outright from his hands at fair
figure. This fad, fashion or fancy,
or whatever you may call it, of the
average investor no doubt works
against the claim owner of other
districts equally rs meritorious and
with good advantages, but nothing
succeeds like success in mining as
ip other business, and people will
continue to cater to those camps
which have the eye of the public,
and which have produced a sue
cessful mine and a number of pros
poets having indications Of joining
the ranks Of producers.

HARRISBURG, Pa, Feb. 2S.-A meet
ing of the anti-Quay Republican members
of the Legislature was held this evening,
at which they unanimously reaffirmed the
pledge signed by them at the beginning of
the senatorial contest that they would not
vote for Senator Quay until he was ac-
quilted of the charges pending against him
in the Philadelphia courts.
Congressman-elect Joseph G. Sibley, of
Franklin, who came here to-day TO take
part in the contest for United States sena-
tor, has issued an open letter 10 the Dem
ocrats of Pennsylvania, giving the opinions
exp1 essed in letters written TO him by Dem
ocratic United States senators at Washing
ton. Mr.. Sibey says: Thine did not afford
me opportunity to call on more than a few,
and, in no instance, was there expressed q
contrary opinion" He did not carry the re-
quest for opinions into the House Of Rep
resentatives, except in the case Of Congress
man Bailey, of Texas. who says in his letter
that IF the reformers will not vote for a
clean and good Democrat in preference to
Senator Quay whom they deneunce so Wig
orously. then the Democratic members oi
the Legislature should break away from
the unholy alliance and vote for Senator
Quay, if that is necessary to re-elect."

ond conference of the Republican members
was held this evening TO discuss the sena-
torial situation. 1t ended in an uproar Sen
ator Shortridge, one of the most earnest Of

he called all those who refused 10 go into

porting Irving NJ. Scott replied that he (Da-
vis) and his followers were far from being
towards, as their course had shown. Senator
Cutter, a Grant supporter, also replied to
Shortridge along the same lines as those
taken by Davis. Assemblyman Grove L..
Johnson, one of the leaders of the Burns
forces, gave out that Burns will withdraw
from the fight if all the other candidates
will. This was the sensation of the meet
ing. Adjournment was taken until to-mor-
row afternoon until o'clock, at which time
another conference will be held.

RACE WITH DEATH.
Federal Court Courier Barely Saves
WaIIa TOn&a from Execution.

ANTLERS, L. T., Feb. 2S.-The race with
death of the courier of United States Judge
Clayton's court for the life of Walla Ton
ka, the condemned Choctaw Indian. was
won by hairs breath by the courier. who
made the wild ride from South McAlester
to Aiikchi. Walla Tonka was to have been
shot Monday morning for the murder OF his
uncle, and came TO the execution grounds,
as he had promised TO do, he having been at
liberty pending a final action by the court.
Last week a reprieve for a reporting of the
case was ordered by Judge Clayton and the
courier dispatched on the eighty mile jour
ney. Rain was falling in torrents. and
there was every cause for fear that he could
not reach Alikchi. The first part of the
Journey was not so bad, but he had but one
broncho 10 carry him the distance. Ii was
after midnight Sunday morning when the
rider reached the flooded Kianuchi river.
Here he stopped till daylight, and then,
with his hand on the pommel OF his saddle,
swan the stream with his pony. The pony
was almost exhausted when Big creek was
reached, and a long detour was necessary.
which caused hours of delay. Night came
and more rain and when the Seven Devils
hills were reached the broncho was stagger-
ing. He fell TO the ground with the rider
and both slept, though but ten miles from
Alikchi. Before dawn they were up again,
and finally the broncho. bearing the courier,
staggered to the execution grounds. where
the witnts sses. executioners and stolld Wasla
Tonka were facing death. The Indian heard
his reprieve without comment and viii ap-
pear before Judge Clayton forthwith.

Kipling's recovery. The statement that the

sIxTy-oNE BILLS PASSED.
Rapid work by the House on Public
Building Measures.

Associated Press Dispatch.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-The House
spent practically the entire time of the
s9ven-hour session to-day passing the public
building bills favorably acted upon by the
committee of the whole ten days ago. The
opposition sought in vain to consume time
by roll calls and other flibustering tactics
at various times to-day. but their numbers
were so slim that in no case could they Sc
cure roll call. At last their efforts TO i'm
pede the passage of the bills was aban-
doned and they were passed with great rap
idity. Sixty-one bills in all were passed,
carrying s.. 9.352, 900. $4,000 OF which, how
ever (the amount appropriated for the New
York custom house, is to be repaid from
the proceeds of the sale of the old building.
Only one bill failed, that appropriating S25,-
Geo for building at Bluefield w. Va. The
conference report on the postotfice appro-
priation bill agreeing to the Senate amend
ment making appropriation for the
Southern mail subsidy was adopted. The
general deficiency appropriation was re-
ported and will be considered tomorrow. 1t
Is the last of the budgets TO be acted upon

and responsibility assumed anyhow, as it is
believed that Admiral Dewey and General
Otis had assured the German commander OF
the Augusta Of their ability to protect
every interest in Manila as a reason why
German forces and marines should not be
landed. 1t is official opinion that whatever
the responsibility for damages 1t will not be
too large for the benefit which will accrue.
In the first place there Is no doubt that the
insurgents cherished the idea that the Ger
mans were favorable 70 their cauSe and this
led to the hope that they might actively in
tervene. Such Il result possibly might have
been brought about through some cunningly
planned action by the insurgents that should
involve the American and German sailors
in a collision Then, too. this frank action
on the part of the German government is
calculated to relieve the tension that was
beginning to manifest itself, not that there
was the slightest sign Of this in any of the
official relations of the governments Of the
United States and Germany, but unguarded
utterances in the press OF both countries.
based on little understood negotiations, were
steadily tending to cause friction that might
in the end have had grave results. All of
this, however. it is believed, may be ex-
derstood that the only issues between the
two governments are rather abstruse Geo.

LONDON, March 1.-The Rome CORE
spondent of the Daily News says: The sud-
den changes in the weather brought on the
Pope's bowel complaint, from which he has
never been entirely free since last summer,
when 1t was regarded as alarming. This is
the spleen. IntrigIes have already begun
with regard to possible conclave and
names Of candidates are in circulation. The
indications are that the conclave. should IL
be called soon, would be divided distinctly
into two factions. The first is the simply
religious faction, supporting Padre Gotti a
barefoot Carmelite monk from Genoa, dis
tinguished merely for learning and piety.
who would really have good chance of
success. The second faction, which favors
an extension of the political power of the
Pope, has three candidates, Cardinal Bishop
Luigi Oreglia di Santa Stefano, dean of
the Sacred College and Camorlengo of the
Holy Roman Catholic Church; Cardinal
Bishop Serafino Nannutelly. bishop of Fras-

resentative Lapish testified that Mr.. Dun
bar one of the McCune workers, had made
an improper suggestion to him, making, him
in effect, an offer of aid from McCune. Dun
bar testified to the contrary. Representa-

while voing for King. had said he could
get s. 900 for voting for McCune. Represent

would vote for McCune, but did not give the
source of his information. Thompson, when
found denied the statement. Several other
