vines were of the highest order. The en-
thusiasm was of the kind that spreads
and before the benediction was pro-
nounced it looked like the close of an
old-time revival, when everybody is made
happy. The convention is success in
every way, but no such uplifting and in

Much important business was trans

of two of the most interesting questions
brought before the Conference.-The re-
ports of the committee on temperance
and the committee on the state of the
church in regard to the ban on card
playing, theatre-g going, dancing and
other amusements. A strong political
color was given the discussion on the
temperance question by the bitter ar
raignment of President Mckinley be-
cause of his attitude on the anti-can-
teen law, but after some decidedly
warm debate the conference refused to
criticise the attitude of the chief magis-

vote all reference to any action on his

Wouldn't Even Discuss His Alleged
Senatorial Aspirations, But De-
clares That His State viii CO
Democratic This Year-Immigra-
ton Into Idaho.

Governor Frank steunenburg OF
Idaho was in town yesterday for the
space Of a few hours, having come
down from Boise on unofficial busi-
ness. When seen by a reporter the
chief executive Of the neighboring state
appeared to be none the worse for his
recent bout with labor unions. but il
anything more hale and hearty than OF
yore- From the Kenyon bell boys de
seription of the governor as the big
gentleman in y without a tie IT was
further apparent that during his So
1ourn in the effete east he had lost none
of his characteristics.
Governor Steuneuburg did not care
to discuss the investigation of the
Occur d'Alene strike troubles. but
switched adroitly TO the topic OF Idaho
and her resources, and stated that
homeseekers were dOcking into the
state from all points in a fashion that
would make that section a big factor
in the expectation Of fruit and cereals
from the west.
Speaking upon the subject of the po-
litical outlook in Idaho for next fall he
said: Idaho viii undoubtedly go for
Bryan. for this year the silver Repub-
licans viii, without d doubt, fuse with
the Democrats, while the same may
be said Of the POpulists in the state.
Two years ago there were similar con-
diti0ns in evidence in perhaps a less
marked degree, and on that occasion
we carried nineteen out of the twenty
one counties. This year / fully believe
that the state viii go solid for Democ-
racy."
When asked a leading question in re-
gard TO his reported aspirations for the
senatorial toga, the big governor smiled
and referred the reporter to others.
The chief executive then went on TO
talk upon the subject of the activity
that was rampant in Idaho in the mat
ter of the building Of railroads in that
state. THE Boise-B Butte line he said.
lis an enterprise in which we, are all
interested, and believe will prove a
paying investment as soon as it is COM
pleted. When I left Boise there were
already over 200 men engaged in active
work on the line, which is, perhaps,
better known as the Idaho Midland.
AT present the grading operations
are being confined to the Boise river
canyon, some eight miles distant from
the city. This work is quite an under
taking and necessitates considerable
blasting of the rock. At present there
are in the neighbOrhOod of some two
miles that have been graded, and I be-
lieve the work viii now be pushed on
to completion. The road viii pass
through a big mining district of low
grade ore that only needs the introduce
ton of a railroad to make it a paying
/ investment"
After attending to the business that
called him to town, Governor Steunen~
burg returned TO the Idaho capital on
the night train.

Mr. Pettigrew complained that the

men, including his colleague. Mr.. Kyle,

This, he declared, was a perversion
of the original intent Of the commit

Mr.. Carter AIont) said that Of the
five members of the committee appoint

publican, Mr.. Penrose of Pennsylvania
Four others represented the opposition
to the Republican party. He admitted
that Mr.. Kyle aAd Mr.. Mantle were
now regarded as Republicans. The sew

confidence of the country. and the &C

them was guided by the wishes of or

into the matter.

commission was a sham and fraud.

providing that in filing vacancies. ap-
pointments shall be made 50 that not
more than nine members of the com

Mr.. Jones raised what ne regarded
as a very serious point, viz: that the
commission had what was called an
editing committed" He had under
stood, he said, from persons who had
appeared before the commission that
their statements had been outrageous
" garbeG."
Mr.. Ky'e explained that no changes
were made in the statements of any
witness except in mere matters Of
grammar and phraseology. Once or
twice the entire commission, in con-
sidering testimony, had ordered parts
of it struck out. This was true, he

Mr. Pettigrew said Mr.. Lockwood was
president of an antitrust league. hiS
testimony was substantially and ma
terially changed IF that was a sam

or abolished at once.

lines by Mr.. Chandler and Mr. Caffery
the committee amendment was agreed

creased from $122,S00 to $129, 500.

NO MORE FRAUD FOUND.
Cubans Say They Have Enough of
American Rule.

Havana. May 2&st7GieneraI Wood re-
ceived today a TeTSft from the auditors
who have been investigating the treas
ury and the customs departments. The
auditors say that they have not fin
ished their work, out everything so
TAR as they have gone is satisfactory.
It is now believed that the scandal
does not touch any other branch Of the
service than the postal. At the Cuban
clubs, however, they say that the pos
tai frauds alone settle the question of
American occupation" contending that
this must cease as soon as the mill
tary are Withdrawn, because, as the
Cubans put it,, @the only civil depart
ment not under military supervision
turns out to be a gigantic fraud"
The argument is that the Americans
VIII not attempt, after these revela-
tons. to impose civil government upon
Cuba.
Acting Director General Bristow is
still endeavoring to reduce expenses in
the postal department. Today he is
sued an order cutting down salaries
IN the Havana local Office, the pay of
the postmaster being reduced from
$4,000 to $500, that of his assistant
from $4,000 to S1,S00, and that of ten
other employees by amounts ranging
from $500 to $500. Mr. Bristow says
ne is fixing the salaries at figures
slightly above those paid in the United
States because OF the abnormal con
ditions existing here.
Seven clerkships have also been abol-
ished, making a reduction of another
$500. In the order Mr.. BTistoW says
that additional reductions can be made
in the local Office without detriment.
