GOODE

PoCArELLo, July I9, 80 p. m.-The
gathering was held up all the forenoon
by their committee on resolutions. The
tie-up is over a resolution condemning
Steunenberg's Occur 'dAlene policy.
The issue is very vital one and the pos
sibility of getting together on amicable
terms are remote. The end of the con-
troversy is at least not yet in sight. A
report is not now expected before the
evening session.
The populists and silver republicans
are impatieutly waiting for the result of
the conference committee deliberations.
The only progress reported from this
committee is the selection of their sub
committee as follows: Bady,
of Kootenai; Reid, of Nez Perce; Martin,
of Ada; Chatin, of Elmore; Harvey, of
Blaine. Pulse, of Idaho; and Averitt, of
Fremont. Populists-Anderson, of Ada; /;
Samuel, of Shoshone; Dowd of Shoshone;
Morgan, of Latah; Jacobs, of Ada; Bal
lentine, of Blaine; Weaver, of Fremont.
Silver Republicans-Barnett of Ada;
Fogg, of Idaho; Callahan, of Kootenai;
Patton, of Bear Lake; Cahorn, of FIRE.
mont; Lake, of Nez Perce; and c. F..
Arney of Ada.
The Steunenberg faction were given
five of the seven members of the sub
committee. The question of nominating
senator will probably be brought before
this committee by some turn which, it is
| feared, will sustain a long contest.
After the victory over the Steunenbere
forces in the seating Of the Col Wood
delegation from Shoshone the candidacy
of Goode, the favorite of the Dubois men
was pushed with vigor. However, "Or
chard" Jackson, who was chairman of the
Lewiston convention, trotted him close
race all along the line.
This was the condition last night bu
this morning the ants had shifted thei
affections and Uncle John" Haley wa
decided favorite.
The defeat of Steunenberg is nov
charged to Jim Hawley. What he hat
in his bonnet is still an enigma. His po
sition on the senatorial issue is not full,
understood, and this fact is causing SOM
speculation today.

HendersOn'S Views.

TACOMA, July I8.-General ID. B. Hen
derson, speaker of the national house Of
representatives, is in Tacoma. He Is on
his pay to Los Angeles ana is first visit
ing Washington and Oregon, the only
two states in the Union he had not pre-
viously visited.
Speaker Henderson is averse to discuss
ing politics on his present trip, and he
denied emphatically tonight that he had
ever stated in an interviews or given any
one the permission to state that he be-
lieved the United States should secure a
port in China or take part in the parti-
ton of the empire.
Speaking of the conditions in that
country, he said: "We must wait for in.
formation. and until full information re-
garding the reports from China are re.
ceived. We have heard that our minis.
ter has been massacred and Americans
have been killed, but it would be wrong
without definite information to infame
the country and plunge into war. We
have not declared war against China, and
it would be wrong to go ahead and com
NIT depredations against that country.
"The necessity for All extra session o
congress is not yet apparent. 1t Is too
early to tell whether it might be neces
sary to call one. In case it is only neces
sary for the president to protect Ameri
can lives and to compel observance o
our treaty rights, he has that authority
and no session Of congress will be neces
sary. But if declaration of war is /,
be made against China, congress must b
convened, for that authorities es On con
gress alone. But, as said, we must wal
for further information and must fix tn
responsibility for any outrages that ma
have been committed"

state of their lands, taken up under the
homestead laws of the United States, and
which has further resulted in them losing
to the state thousands of acres of valuable
timber lands.
We condemn the policy of the present
state administration i'll converting the
boards in charge of the various state in
stitutions into partisan political machines
indirectly, and the republican party
pledges itself to place these institutions
III the hands of those who will conduct
them solely for the purpose of the public
good aud not in the interest of any po-
litical oganizaton.
We remember with feelings of gratitude
and pride the gallant and patriotic serv-
ices rendered to our country by the brave
volunteers from Idaho, and glory in their
deeds of valor and faithfulness To their
call of duty. We acknowledge them the
support of the republican party in recoe-
nition of their services.
We endorse the course of Hon. George
l.. Shoup as the republican representa-
tive of the state of Idaho in the United
States senate.

The republican state ticket gives gen
eral satisfaction. Even the democrats Of
fer no criticism. Undoubtedly it is
strong aggregation representing the best
elements of Idaho's citizenship. There
were no grudges to revenge or political
offenses to heal at Boise on this oc, aston.
The convention was an example of hon.
est, earnest men working for the best in
terests of the people and through the
people for the party. In view of the
very opposite condition prevailing at po-
catello the republicans are very enthusi-
astic in the hope of success at the polls
next November.

There cannot be much question that the

an idea that this country at least is afraid

vertised throughout the Empire as the
result OF defeat and rout by the troops
OF the inyincibie Empress Dowager.

PRESIDENT AND SPEAKER.
Much Speculation ON the Significance
of Their Carriage Ride.

OF TheEr Carriage RtGe-
What was the meaning Of the long ride
IN the Presidents carriage taken through
the city yesterday by Mr. Mckinley and
Speake. Henderson,
This is question: that members of
both branches of Congress are asking to-
day The fact of the ride did not be-
come generally known until this morning.
Brief mention of it was made in the al
teTnt on newspapers yesterday but the
item appears 10 have attracted little at
tention. This morning however. nearly
every Senator and Representative at the
Capitol has asked for more Information
on the subject How long we're the
President and the Speaker together? A
half hour or more. Did they both leok
pleased when they returned from the
ride Answer: Did anybody eve, see the
aIni4bIe Mr. Mckinley when hs did not
look pleased? But as to General Hen
ferson2 He is of more mercmiai tenn

fore thz Speakers countenance some
times IS an index to his feelings. Th4se
who saw the President and the Speaker
return 10 the White House from their
drive declare that General Henderson
face distinctly denoted dfspIeasure. But
what about: Nobody pretends 20 know
definitely, though the cause is q fruitful
theme OF speculation
Il goes without saying, of course. that
Mr.. Mckinley is extremely anxious TO
avoid the necessity of an extra session of
Congress. The Speaker Of the House is
now vested with such unlimited powers
over legislation that il is said the Presi-
dent argues that General Henderson can
rush things through vigorously at his end
of the Capitol, and thus probably shame
the Senate into hasty action But 1t is
not believed that the Speaker cares to use
his power too severely He is looking
forward 20 reelection, and it is possible
for him TO raise the taischief with himself
by treating the House too rigidiy this
winter On the other hand, il is suggest
ed that ff he refuses to do the President S
bidding the influence of the Administra-
ton viii be turned against him for re-
election to the Speakership. This is a
/ quandary that is calculated, say those
who know General Henderson well. to
cause him great annoyance and accounts

his face when he returned from a ride

We bavv a communication from
Young Republican Member who seems
to have a remarkably sensitive conscience
for man CT his party and business. He
desires to know how statesmen can dis
pose OF their influence to the best i'd
vantage without kicking holes in the
DeeaIogue. He states that he cons antly

his fellows that cannot be accounted for
on salary basis. and he also would like
to prosper, if the matter could be ar
ranged in a way that would not make
him want to run every time he met a
