Stampede TO New Diggings.

iedged placer mine excitement, accord
ing to advices brought from the north to-
Gay by steamer Rosalie. When the
vessel sailed from Juneau, July 18th,
stampede was on to new placer diggings
on Glacier bay, about $50 miles distant,
Some doubt existed as to the placer
ground being really new discoveries. Not
a few believe them to be diggings found
and operated many years ago by the Rus
slams. In any event the finds are most
promising. 1t is claimed for them that
all experienced miner can make consid

Mcconnell on the Ticket.

Ex-Governor Mcconnell, IN an inter
view with The Statesman correspondent
under date of July 20, has this to say of
the candidates:
Edgar c. Steele, nominee for supreme
judge, has been a resident of Latah coun-
ty for number of years. He was elect
ed judge of the Second judicial district
two years ago and has two years more to
serve unless he resigns to take the Office
of one of the associate judges of the su.
preme court. Mr.. Steele has many warm
friends not only in Latah, but all over
the north as we'll. He has been absolute
ly fair in all his decisions as Judge and
will come to his larger duties well equip
ped as lawyer and we'll fortified by the
we'll wishes of everyone who knows him
"The nominee for lieutenant governor,
A. A. Crane, was speaker of the house
during the Third session of the legisla-
ture of Idaho in which position he dis
played his ability to hold the high place
for which he is now candidate He is
young man and is said to have been the
best looking member of the house dur
ing the session, but he is now married.
Consequently he-is out ofthe race'in that
line, and my quotation of the reputation
he then enjoyed cannot be imputed to
| political favoritism.
''If anyone has any doubts as to the
standing of Geo. II. Kester, he can be
convinced of his ability to fill the posi-
ton of state treasurer we'll and honorably
by conversing with any resident of Ne7
Perce county, or, in fact, he can ascer-
tain the facts from any resident of any OF
the five northern counties of Idaho
where Mr.. Kester is well known and uni
versally respected. Although raised q
poor boy, his friends are legion and in
clude the most prominent and Influential
citizens of his town. He never betrayed
a friend or trust

1t is not known whether it is the hu-

too much ice water which has caused the
unusual amount of dexterity displayed
on the streets of Lewiston during the last
twenty four hours. However, during the
noon hour today L. Smalding engaged
in an alteration with F. G. Erb, of this
city, and to be more forcible in the argu-
ment, attempted to assault Mr.. Erb, who
resisted in as gentle a manner as possible
until Marshal Denny arrived on the

ST PETERSBURG, July 24.-A dispatch
which has been received here from Gen
eral Grodekoff, at Khabarovack, dated
July ~, reports from the steamer Odessa,
which left Charbin July 10, brought
tidings of the Russian force that left TIE
Lin, July : enroute to Charbin. 1t APP
pears that 200 men started with large
convoy of Chinese Christians, women
children. After constant fighting
which was often at close quarters
and with bayonet, they were again
attacked by the Boxers July 18th.
The Russians lost heavily and ran short
Of ammunition. AT last accounts they
were threatened by $1,000 Boxers. En-
gineer Jugovitch at Charbin had fonnd
it impossible to send efficient help as he
required all his available forces to defend
Charbin, which place contained thou
sands of uuarmed employees with their
families who had been concentrated from
along many sections Of the railway.
General Grodekoff considers the situa-
ton as bad. Attacks are daily threatened
and rebels and marauders are overcoming
Manchuria. The general says the local
governors have little authority and that
fanatics dominate the situation.

United POpuiiStS.

Mr. Hansen, national committeeman
of the peoples party, the so-called mid
dle-of;the-road" populists, passed through
the city yesterday, on the way from Po-
catello to his home at Southwick III this
county. He was seen by a TELLER re-
porter and made the following brief
statement in response 10 inquiries:
"The nomination by the peoples party
convention, at Pocatello, of separate
ticket i'll other words, the determination
of the peoples party in this state to "go
it alone and have no fusion on the state
ticket, is exactly what we desired, and
think the two factions of the peoples
party can now be brought together in
support of that state ticket, i'll fact,
hope so. The platform adopted by the
peoples party state convention is also
fairly satisfactory to us
Naturally, of course. we straight popu
lists-call us middle of, the readers if
you please--can not fall in line with the
Bryanites, and the Bryan electors nomi-
/ nattu vi fOCateilO cannot nave our sup
port We cannot favor fusion in the ma
ton any more than in the state. We
want to have an opportunity to vote for
true populists also on the national ticket
and the Bryan-Stevenson combination is
certainly far from being acceptable 10
us. Definite action on our part has been
postponed. We shall from now on en-
deavor to strengthen and extend our or
ganization in this state, and as soon as
we find ourselves ready for it, we shall
proceed to take the steps necessary to
place Barker-D -Donnelly electors on the
! ticket in this state. expect to see that
I to be accomplished before long.
i There has so far been nothing agreed
upon between the leaders of the two fac
tions. of the peoples party in this state.
No formal action has been taken toward
uniting the forces, but, as said, expect
that we will all get together during this
campaign and work in harmony for the
success of the peoples party state ticket
nominated at Pocatello. No, there was
no regular middle-of-the road" conyen-
ton held at Pocatello, only private con-

Issued by Boxers

New YORK, July 23 Rev. DIR. John
Fox, of the American Bible society, to-
day received a translation of one of the
inflamatory posters used by the Boxers.
This was forwarded by Rev. DIR. ]. ].
Hykes, of Shanghai, who received it
from Rev. Charles Cannon, at Tientsin.
1t is sample of many varieties, of which
200 ,ooo copies were distributed in Tient-
sin city on June 4. Only the prompt ar
rival of foreign troops prevented a second
Tientsin massacre. 1t is as follows:
Sacred Edict-Issued by the lord of
wealth and happiness; The Catholic and
Protestant religions being insolent to the
gods and extinguishing sanctity, render
ing no obedience to Buddhism and en-
raging both heayen and earth, the rain
clouds now no longer visit us, but 5000
spirit soldiers will descend from heaven
and sweep the empire clean of all foreign
ers, Then will the gentle showers once
more water our lands; and when the
tread of soldiers and the clash of steel are
heard heralding woes to our people, then
the Buddhists patriotic League of Boxers
will be able to protect the empire and
bring peace to all its people.
"Hasten then, to spread this doctrine
far and wide; for if you gain one adher-
ent to the faith, your own person will be
absolved from future misfortunes.
'If you gain FIVE adherents to the
faith, your whole family will be absolved
from all evils; and if you gain 10 adher
ents to the faith your whole village will
be safe from the calamity. If you gain
no adherents, you shall be decapitated,
for until all foreigners are exterminated,
the rain will never fall upon us.
"Those who have drunk water from
wells poisoned by foreigners should at
once make use of the following divine
prescription, the ingredients of which
are to be swallowed, when the poisoned
patients will recover: Dried black
plums, half an ounce solanum del cam
arel, half an once; encommia elcomoids,
half an once"
