BOOM FOR HAM LEWIS.
Idaho Democrats Want Him For Vice
President.

Lewiston, Idaho, June THE forces
of Governor Stuenenberg triumphed in
the state Democratic convention by
seating the contesting delegation from
Shoshone county, friendly to the gov
ernor the vote being 1872 to II. The re-
suit is a practical endorsement Of Gov
ernor Stuenenbergs administration in
the Occur d'Alene trouble as the fight
in the convention was made almost en-
tirely on that line. The opposition to
the governor made a stubborn fight
for two days and debate on the report
of the credential committee lasted four
hours.
Only indirect reference was made to
the Occur d'Alene trouble by the oppo-
sition, the speakers limiting their re-
marks to the personnel of the conteSting
delegations and to the regularity OF
their credentials. Shoshone county is
the scene of the Occur d'Alene mining
districts and one of the contesting dele
cations represented the element opposed
to the administration of affairs there
The issue, therefore, brought the CoeEr
d'Alene matter directly before the coll
vention. The Stuenenberg men con-
tended that the Shoshone county Demo-
cratic convention was controlled by
Populists who captured the primaries
under the dictation of those RESPONSE
bic for the labor troubles. On the pre-
liminary vote to seat neither delegation,
the proposition was defeated by a vote
showed Steunenberg's control of the
convention and the opposition then gave
way.
The resolutions presented endorsed
Bryan for president and Col. James
Hamilton Lewis. OF Washington state,
for vice president and favored fusion of
all reform forces in the campaign.
The convention elected the following
delegates to the national convention:
Col. W. H. Dewey, Of Napa. delegate
at large; James W. Reid of LeWist on ;
Judge c. O. Stockslager, of Haley; E.
r. Dockery, of Boise; John G. Brown,
Of PocateIlO.
Colonel Dewey is a cousin of Admiral
Dewey.

Important results are expected from
the meetings of the executive officers
and traffic officials to De held in New
York on Friday. Every railroad in the
west will be represented by either its
president, vice president, or general
manager.
The special committee, composed of
President S. NJ. FELTON,, of the Alton

President George B. Harris, of the Bur
lington, Vice President Paul Morton, of
the Santa Fe, and Vice President Bird

port a plan for the pooling of freight

Railroad officials say a money pool is
not contemplated, because the Inter
state Commerce commission, which is
expected to attend the meeting of pres
idents, would not sanction such an ar

will report some sort of division of

securing a better maintenance of

TAKES HIS COAT OFF.
Cannon Gives the House a Touch of
High Life.

Washington, June when the house
last night at 1920 took a recess until 10
o'clock today the chambers of the ma
tional legislature with heads down and
horns locked, were in a desperate Strug-
gle over the item in the naval appro-
priation bill relating to ocean surveys.
The final adjournment of congress is
postponed until it is over.
The proceedings in the house during
the day were tame and without dra-
matte incident. This was partly due to
the fact that the firm position taken by
the house on the armor plate provision
transferred the fight on the floor of the
senate and to the obstinate refusal of
Mr.. Lentz, an Ohio Democrat, to permit
any unanimous consent legislation I'M
til the Republican leaders agreed to al
low the testimony in the Occur d'Alene
investigation to be printed. Mr.. Lentz
held the house by the throat all day
and except for privileged matters things
legislative were practically at a stand
still.
But last night there was enough ex-
citement to compensate for the dullneSS
of the day session. The house got it's
dander up over the failure of it's con-
ferees to abide by their instructions on
the ocean survey item and after an
exceedingly sensational debate in which
Mr.. Cannon, the chairman of the ap-
preparations committee, made some
startling disclosures as to the manner
in which Commander Todd, the hydro
grapher OF the navy, naO WaSeQ MS
campaign against the stand taken by
the house in favor of the coast and
geodetic survey work, the house reject
ed the conference report by an over
whelming majority and the speaker
took the ralmost unprecedented course
of appointing new conferees on the part
of the house who are not members of
the naval committee.
The debate was one of the bitterest
and most heated of the session. Mr..
Cannon in the excitement of the mo-
ment took off his collar and necktie, and
with sleeves rolled up, aroused the
house to a tremendous pitch of enthus-
iasm as he dealt the conferees sledge
hammer blows. The galleries, crowded
to the doors, cheered the picturesque
fight of the grizzled old veteran until
the fretted ceiling rang. The conferees
defended their course as best they
could and Mr.. Foss, acting chairman
Of the committee. resented with bitter
language the charge that he had be-
trayed the house. Hot words were
banded back and forth, but the house

LARGEST IN THE WORLD.
Pittsburg Works Turn Out the King
of Monster Engines.

The Pittsburg Locomotive works on
Saturday turned out from it's Allegheny
works for the Pittsburg, Bessemer &
Lake Erie railroad the largest and
heaviest locomotive ever constructed.
It is the first of two to be built for the
company. The monster engine weighs
240 600 pounds, without tender; has
cylinders 24xS2 inches, 240 pounds of
steam pressure and 55-inch driving
wheels. The engine stands Is feet and
8 inches above the rails. The tender,
in working order. is expected to weigh
about 10000 pounds. Among the de-
partures of this remarkable production
of the Pittsburg works is the fact that
the frames are made of armor. plate
an idea expected to be generally
adopted in locomotive construction.
The boiler is made of one-inch steel.
Prior to this the largest freight en-
CINE was that owned by the Illinois
Central. It was built by the Brooks
Locomotive company, and weighs ap-
proximately 11S tons, just two tons less
than the Pittsburg works latest.
