CHINESE CLOTHING.
BY No Means of tho Common Blue
Cloth They Look To BE,


To wear your grandfather's coat
would not seem much of an honor, but
to John Chinaman it is the greatest
felicity. Not only is the common
looking, shapeIess blue blouse Of his
ancestor priced because it is his an
eestor's, but because of its intrinsic
value. The clothing usually worn by
the Chinese is of the purest silk, and
costs anywhere from 800 TO $3.50 a
suit. AS nation the Chinese object
to wearing clothing of any other kind
and centuries of experiment have
taught them how best to make UP the
costly caterpillar thread into the most
durable form. On this recount the
Chinese dress, though of purer mate
rial, has none of the sheen usually
associated with silk, popularity
which has resulted in the erroneous
ideas as to their composition. All the
garments are made in China, and are
only exported for the personal use of
Celestials in foreign countries. Owing
to their cost, however, they are only
Pu1 Shaoeu dI long Intervals, edcH gar
ment being of SO durable d character
that they are handed down TO the third
and even the fourth generation. Wear
appears to rather improve them than
otherwise, with the result that the coat
of the fa1her or grandfather often has
more intrinsic value than the newer
and less worn articles Another ar
tiele peculiar to the Chinese is the felt
slippers they invariably wear. These
are of peculiar shape, and are also
imported from the native country,
where the method of treating felt until
it almost rivals leather for wear Ia
kept close secret.

WASHINGTON, April N--The political
phase OF the house investigation into the
Idaho mining riots Is promising some de-
velopments OF interest. Representatives
Sulzer and Lentx. who have been active In
promoting. and prolonging the investigation
have hadSfn contemplation an effort to

at Kansas City. next July. a plank con-
demning the calling out OF soldiers to sup

On the other hand Gov. steunenbWg will
head the delegation from Idaho arid will
resist any such effort. He made that very
plain. In conversation before he left Wash
ington. That alone would probably suffice
for very lively scrimmage at Kansas
City but II has another bearing. because
the Silver Republicans. who will hold
convention at the same time. at Kansas
City. support Gov. Steunenberg and.
should there be an effort to compromise
him In that fashion, II is claimed that fus-

Democrats might be thwarted.
The situation Is all the more interesting

Such testimony. he said, therefore to him
was utterly Incredible He declared most
emphatically that a state OF rebellion ex-
listed in Idaho. and that there was
menace to public safety there.
He took up each preamble Of the resoiu-
ton under the operation OF which the com
mittee was acting denying absolutely most
Of the facts alleged therein. Gen. Merriam
said the United States troops were In
charge of the prisoners simply as guards,
in carrying out the authority OF the state.
Long Confinement OF Prisoners.
The general said he felt solicitude az to
the prisoners and to their long confine-
ment He finally took up the matter with
the war department, telegraphins on the
subject. Two OF the letters had not here
tofore appeared In the correspondence fur
nished by the war department. evidently
having been mislaid In these letters Gen.
Merriam pointed out the evident purpose OF
the Idaho authorities to continue the mill
tary control for some time and referred to
the adjournment OF the district court with
the cases of many of the prisoners still
pending In one OF the letters Gen. Mer-
Ram advised that part OF the troops be
withdrawn. He stated also that the con-
tinued service OF the troops on guard duty
had led to the bribery of a sergeant and
the escape Of eight prisoners. At present,
Gen. Merriam stated, the troops were not
guarding any prisoners few troops re-
manned in garrison In the locality, but
without having any duties in connection
with the disturbance although available in
case of an outbreak as long as martial law
continued. Gen. Merriam's cross-exanina-
ton will begin tomorrow.

the negative being cast by Messrs. Nor

Notice of Vote on Clark Case.
Chandler then gave notice that on next
Wednesday he would ask the senate TO
take up the case of Senator Clark of Mon
tana, adding that II no one should desire
to speak in opposition to the report OF
the committee he would have nothing TO
say in support of it.
Allen expressed the hope that the SEN
ate would not be asked TO act upon this
case until the senator's could have an
opportunity to read the testimony. In view
of the fact that the committee had taken
two or three months to investigate the
subject. he did not consider II fair that
the senate should be asked to dispose of
the matter within two or three days
notice. Such a request was ridiculous in
any tribunal
Chandler then stated that he had no
desire to press consideration OF the case
unduly, and while he did not withdraw
his notice to call the case up on wednes-
day he said there would be no disposition
to pass the resolution in a way TO impair
the rights of any one The case could be
postponed IL such disposition was thought
best.

BRAGG HURT
Old IrOnsides Injured by Horse
Falling.

Fond Du Lac, Wis.-Maj ajor-Gen
E. S. Bragg, known to the United
States as commander of the Iron bri-
gade in the Army Of the Potomac, is
lying at his home in this city suffers
ing from injuries which he received
this morning while horseback riding,
his horse falling and carrying the
general to the ground. His right leg
was broken in two places, and his
thigh and other portions of the body
was injured by the horses hoofs. DIR.
Mayham, the atten sing physician,
states today that the njuries are of
serious nature and the outcome is an
uncertainty for man of the Gener-
ais years.
The General was out exercising his
horse, and was accompanied, as usual
on these morning rides, by his COM
panion, Romolus, little dog of Eng
lish breed. At the cocner of Eleventh
and Main streets the cog, who was un-
usually playful, Jumped in front Of
the horse, causing it to back sud denly
into depression in front of q catch
basin. The horse stumbled and fell,
The ground was soft and the animal
tried to r Sc but tioundered for moun-
ent and fell again. General Bragg
kept the saddle and his right leg was
pinned between the horses side and
the iron part of the catch basin,
Thoroughly frightened, the horse
ended by rolling over, freeing itself
from its rider, The Seripps' rep
resentatives was one of the first on
the scene. The General was in con-
siderable pain but described the oc~
currence with spirit. He said that it
was the little yellow dog that had
caused him all the trouble, fondling
the animal at the time. DR.. MayhAm
arrived soon after, and the patient
was removed to the Glasow residence
where his ankle was bandaged tem-
porArily. DR.. Mayham wished to ad-
minister an anaesthetic to relieve the
pain of 1.-THE operation, but the Gen-
eral refused saying that he had been
