Much interest attaches to the ap-
preaching investigation by the House
committee on military affairs in tAe
matter of the trouble in the Coeur
d'Alene country. This hearing is to
commence on the lit" of February.
Among those already summoned to
give testimony at that time are Slate
Auditor Bartlett Sinclair of Idaho,
Governor Steunenburg of the same
STATE. and General Merriam, who com
manded the department at the time of
the troubles. The witnesses on behalf
of the Miners Union have not yet been
summoned. although it is known that
President Boyce and others will be
called. The investigation will take a
wide range and the testimony is likely
TO prove very interesting, owing TO the
peculiar political ramification of the
case, involving each of the several psr-
ties in Idaho.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING.

The city council met last night
in regular session, all members
present. One small claim of SO 5C
was allowed, and several other
claims aid over. The following
ordinances were passed:
Ordinance No. az:

council of the incorporated town o.

Sec. l: That the mayor Of thil
town is hereby directed to appoint
from the members of the council 9

when appointed, is hereby author.
lied and directed to have the south
park within the incorporated lin.

manner as it may deem proper,

Ordinance No. 4S, regulating st-

1t was addressed to a gentleman
living in Vinita whose name il
withheld. 1t has every appear.
ance OF an attempt 10 obtain fees
from claimants to citizenship by
holding cut to them false hopes oi
ultimate success. We feel that
these people ought to be protected
from slch contemplate methods.
The ons statement that McKen.
non was removed from the com.
mission is sufficient to discredit
the entire statement. That Capt.
McKennon voluntarily left the
commission is we'll known and can
be verified by the secretary OF the
interior himself. The letter
throughout contains statements SO
prepostsrous as to hardly need
contradiction:
VINITA. l. T., Aug. 3, 1900.
DEAR SIR:-Pressing business
after FIVE months absence in Wash.
ington has caused delay in writing
claimants as to present conditions.
The fight was persistent before the
committees. Our efforts from the
first were to have an investigation
OF the work Of the Dawes com.
mission. We won our contention
by securing the removal Of Mr..
Mekennon who presented matters
for legislation in favor OF the In.
dians as paid attorney would be
expected to do. His removal was
a victory, as much interest exhib-
tied by our opponents was lost
when Mr.. McKennon stepped
down.
We were promised by the SEN
ate committee that our amend
ment would 60 on the treaty. The
subcommittee of the house acting
Independently introduced the
treaty bill without our amend
ment. When Senator Jones asked
for consent to introduce the same
bill in the senate, Senator Stewart
whom we had won to our side, OBJ.
Jected on the proposition Of right,
that our amendment should 20 on
the treaty. This prevented the
bill then introduced in the senate
from passing, Later Senator Jones
agreed that a modified amendment
made or suggested by himself
should go on the bill. The amend.
ment ig as irllows:
That claimants having masters
