atilla Indians, was in the city last night.
He was a resident of Lewiston sixteen
years ago, at which time he worked In
the Teller Office as compositor. He
later became a newspaper Nan of promi
nence in Oregon and latter was appointed
agent of the Umatilla reservation. He
visited Agent Stranahan today on bust

their relation TO the money interests of
the Nez perces. The tribes are related
aud their financial interests intermingle
by inheritance and by common title to
lands.
Mr.. wilkins expresses surprise at the
progress of Lewiston. He found difficulty
in locating the landmarks of sixteen

The Vice Presidency the Issue
Shall Il Be Conceded to Sill
yer Republicans.
DENOUNCES STEUNENBERG
Senator Heitfsldts Plank in the Populist Plat
form Condemns the Governor For the
Permit System.

The national convention Of the popu-
list party is now in session at Sionx
Falls, S D. About 500 delegates are
present and rine-tenths of these are from
the northern Mississippi valley states.
What to do with the vice presidency is
the paramount question of the meeting.
The Bryanites, headed by the Nebraska
delegation, are trying to lead the senti-
ment against the nomination of any one
for vice president, and they will support
the proposition for conference Commit
tee to accept the best man offered for the
place by the democratic convention at
Kansas City. The opposition is headed
by the Minnesota and South Dakota del
egations, who favor Towne. The indica-
tions are that majority favor a nomina-
ton and that Towne will be the choice of
the convention.
The committee on platform last night
agreed upon the planks relating to inn
perialism, militarisni, trusts and finances.
They reaffirm their faith in the free coin
age at I6 toI.
Senator Heidfeld drew the plank on
the Occur d Alene troubles which is as
follows:
1--WE denounce the action of the gov
ernor Of Idaho and of the federal govern
ment in using the military arm of the
government to abridge and suppress the
civil and inherent rights of laborers in
the Occur d Alenes by establishing the
Infamous permit system which denys
citizens the same right of organizing for
their mutual protection and advancement
and compells them to renounce their
manhood, their liberties and their rights
before being able to seek employment.

SECRETARY LONG THE MAN.
The Present Secretary Of the Navy, John D
Long, Selected as President Mckinley's
Running Mate.

CHICAGO, May "a special to the
Times Herald from Washington says:
The name of President McKinley's run
ming mate in the coming campaign is now
known. 1t is John Davis Long of Massa-
chusetts, at present secretary of the navy
and formerly representative i'll congress
and governor Of his state. Secretary
Longs nomination for the vice presidency
has been practically decided upon by
friends of the president, with the sane
ton of the president himself. 1t is, of
course, possible that something may arise
to change this decision, but that Is not
probable.
Governor Roosevelt arrived in town
tonight for visit of Sc veral days, and he
had not been here an hour till it was
generally known among politicians that
he adheres to his former attitude and will
not accept the vice presidency. Before
Governor Roosevelt's arrival Senator
Hanna authorized this statement: "There
will be no stampeding of the convention
at Philadelphia to Governor Roosevelt or
anyone else. The nomination will not
be forced upon Mr.. Roosevelt or any
other man against his wishes. In my
opinion Secretary Long will be named
for vice president by the Philadelphia
convention"

THE GRAND ARMY Wins
Appealed to Congress from RuI.
inss of the Commissioner and
had law Changed,
PENSION BILLS INCREASED
Under the Provisions Pensioners Nav Receive
Payment for Several Different
Disabilities

NEW YORK, May, S.-A Herald special
from Washington says:
From f. 900 900 to s., 600 900 year is
the amount Commissioner of Pensions
Evans roughly estimates will be added to
the pension expenditures of the govern
ment by the action of the house of rep
resentatives today in passing the bill,
which has already passed the senate,
amending the dependent pension law of
1890.
The measure, known as the Grand
Army bill, makes two important changes
in the present law, designed to meet OBJ
jections which pension attorneys, back ed
by the Grand Army, have raised to the
rulings of Pension Commissioner Evans
Failing in their efforts to have the COM
missioner grant pensions in excess OF
what he and the reviewing officers of the
interior department believed the law
showed, they turned their attention to
congress, and the pension commissioners
of the Grand Army drafted the bill
which has now passed both houses sub.
stantially as it left their hands.
The present law provides that honor.
ably discharged soldiers or sailors of the
civil war incapaciated for manual labo,
shall receive pension of not more thar
Sr2 a month and not less than S6. This
has been constructed to entitle pen.
sioner suffering from two or more infirm
tiles to receive only such pension as hi.
most serious infirmity would entitle hin
| to.
The new act provides that the rates fol
all disabilities shall be aggregated ant
that the pensioner shall receive this ag
gregate, provided it shall not amount tc
more than $I2 month.
The law of 1890 provides that widows
having no means of support excep
manual labor shall receive IS month
This was construed to mean that wher,
the income of widow from sources out
side of her daily labor amounted to NOR,
than the amount of the pension sh,
should receive no pension. The new ac
gives the pension to widows having al
income of not more than $3.50 year.

The Free Homes Bill.

The following letter from Congressman
Wilson. dated Washington, May 4th, is
selfexplanatory:
Hon. J. n. STACY: l presented your
last petitions Tuesday. am very happy
to say that the House considered the Free
Homes bill yesterday, as heretofore
agreed upon, and passed the bill. This
is matter of great interest to the people
of your section of our State. 1t will save
the homesteaders of Idaho already To-
Gated on the land about 81 900, 900, aud
i'll the event all of the land on the ceded
reservations is located it will result in a
saving of about $2,Ioo,ooo. AS the Sen
ate has twice passed the bill heretofore,
| am very confident that there will be no
serious difficulty i'll securing the passage
of this measure at this session. With
thanks for your attention to the matter
which has very materially aided me,
am, sincerely yours, EDGAR WILSON.

Warning to Democrats.

The Republicans in thus District
are organizing and will make a
desperate effort to elect their can
didate. That they hope to do SO
owing to the split in the Demo
cratic ranks, is plainly shown in the
following interview with reporter
Of the Daily States:
Mr.. r. A. Womack, one of the
leading planters Of East Baton
Rouge parish was seen while at the
Grunewald Hotel this morning and
asked regarding political condi-
tons IN the Sixth Congressional
Dlrtrict from the Republican
standpoint, he being one of the
leading Republicans of his parish
and district.
lie replied in subtance to the in
quiries made that he believed Mr..
Ducotc, the Republican nominee for
Congress there, had very good
chances of election, irdeed. The
fight between Robertson and Bar
row, the two Democratic nominees
tor Congress, he thought, would
make Mr.. Ducote's chances A No.
l. He said be was sure that both
Robertson and Barrow would re-
main in the field until after the
election, thus deviding the Demo
cratic vote and giving Ducote
great advantages for that reason.
