Elect Senators by Direct Vote.

BoIsE, Jan. 2I.-Covernor Hunt today
sent message to the legislature urging
that the legislature memorialize the
United States senate to adopt the resolu-
ton submitting constitutional amend-
ment providing for election ot United
States senators by direct vote Of the
people. He recites that he is in receipt
Of communication from joint commit
tee Of the Pennsylvania legislature, ap-
pointed to secure such action by the va
rious state legislatures. The governor
says in part:
.'The wishes Of the states should be
made known to that body. The wishes
of the people Of the United States are al
ready known, having found expression
for many yeara past in the conventions
and Legislatures Of many states.

Pacific Mails New Route.

New ORLEANS, La, Jan. 24.-The Pa
cific Mail Steamship company started its
new line to the Pacific coast today. 1t
reaches Central America, Mexican Pacific
and California points by the Southern
Pacific route. When extensive wharf
facilities are completed at Cuayauas par,
of the business viii be sent via that poit
and the Sunset route. This is the resul,
of the fight between the Pacific Mail
Steamship company and the Panama
Railroad company. the latter having
made Pacific coast and Central America
steamship connections in opposition to
the Pacific Mail Steam hip company.
The fight is a lively one and may become
SO bitter as to result in war of rates.

The New Apportionmcnt.

WASHINGTON, Jan. "a. AS the senate
usually considers that the house has a
righ to establish the proportions of lis
own membership it entirely probable, il
not indeed certain, that the Burleigh re-
apportionmert bill will be adopted by
the senate and become the law. IN that
event the electoral college will contain
476 members, of which number 239 would
be necessary to choice, instead of 274,
as now. 1t would take then for the de M
ocrats to carry the presidential election,
counting the south as solid, with I6e
electoral votes, the additional votes oi
New York and Indiana, with 81 votes
and New Jersey IL and Connecticut Z. 1t
is considered therefor, by we'll informed
politicians that the democratic problem
has been made more difficult despite the
large gains made in Texas and Missouri.
In Tilden's time it only took 81 electoral
votes beside the solid south to elect a
democrat, now it will take u more.

Swept Over Niagara.

NIAGARA FALLS, Jan. 7o.-John Wiser
and John Marsh, Of this city, attempted
to cross Niagara river above the falls to-
day. They lost control of their boat and
we're carried into the rapids. Wiser. who
was unable to swim, was swept over the
falls and drowned. Marsh. after a des-
perate struggle in the icy water. was res
cued by persons along the shore.
The men were nearly half way across
the river when their boat was caught in
a field Of ice. AS the boat passed the
power house both men got out onto the
floating ice. The two men hoated down
The river Marsh being 900 feet from
shore and Wiser at least 20 feet further
away. At Willow island several men
formed line and with the aid Of long
pnle succeeded in getting near enough to
Marsh to rescue him. Wiser clung to
the ice until he was tossed of into the
water and drifted over the brink.

among those sacrificed according to the
best information possible. The States
man some time ago forecasted the ap-
pontment Of Charles Harvey of HALEY
for the wardenship and nothing has yet
developed to change that belief, although
it is known there are other vigorous can
didates in the field.
One of these is Charles Van Dorm of
Owyhee county, former warden, and it
is said he has some powerful political in
fluence at work in his behalf.
A common enemy to the aspirations of
both Mr.. Harvey and Mr.. Van Dorm has
developed in the populist party, which,
it is said is clamouring for the peniten-
tiary position. No populist candidate
has come to light as yet, but there seems
to be no 5oubt one could be found if it
should be decided to give the place to
the pops. 1t is unofiicially stated, how
ever, there is no intention of Fl ling the
place that way. A democrat will be ap-
pointed, according to the very best in
formation obtainable, and it will be Mr..
Harvey.

LONDON, Jan S2.-Cassier's Magazine
for the current month contains an article
on the industrial supremacy Of Great
Britain in which the prediction is made
that the first half of the Twentieth CEN
tury will see Britain compelled to relin-
quish the control of the worlds markets
by the onslaughts of American competi-
ton. The article is being widely dis
cussei aud has started wordy contro-
versy among economists. The article
says in part:
"The century upon which we are now
entering will witness such contest for
supremacy in trade as the world has
never yet seen and under conditions Of
which the world has only begun to have
experience. At the beginning of the
Nineteenth century the United States
as an industrial factor in the worlds
economics, were negligible quantity.

situation. There are doubtless many per
sons who share Lord Rosebery's alarm
for the future. founded upon Germany's
industrial development and commercial
expansion since the Franco Prussian war
There are more, however, who, like Sir
Charles Palmer, have little to fear
Of Britain being beaten by Ger
many in the industrial race, bu,
who have very serious fears of what the
future may enfold for her in the indus
trial development Of America. In the
western hemisphere there has been, dur
ing the present generation, new birth
in the industrial world and the young
giant has thriven SO rapidly that the
world is only now beginning to take
count Of him in the peaceful contest of
nations. That he has cnme to stay, no
one seriously doubts, Whether he is
coming to dominate SO largely on politi-
cal and social conditions, the issue of
which no man can forsee, that we will
not risk prediction. What is certain.
however, IS that the most formidable
fact with which industrial England is
confronted at the opening of the twen-

That comnetition at the present time most

William the Fourth, June 20, 1887, Vic
tora became queen. Her first public act
was to dissolve parliament in person July

Under Queen Victoria began the most
marvellous period OF the British empire,
and her deeds, told in sentences, would
fill large page. Among the notable fea
lures of her reign are:
Establishment of penny postage in
1870; war against China, iS4o to 1850, by
which England secured the island o,

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20. The senate
finance committee was in session the
greater part Of the day making an effort
to complete consideration of the war rev.
enue reduction bill in order to be able to
present its report tomorrow. 1t did not
succeed, but the work was SO rearly com
pleted that it is said one or two more
meetings will suffice for that purpose.
There are still many items of the bill
which have not been finally passed upon
but all Of them have been SO completely
canvassed that there will not be great diff
6culty in reaching conclusion. The
committee is still with holding official
announcement of its proceedings from the
public, but some facts concerning its con-
clusions are known.
1t is not probable that there will be
very much greater total reduction than
was made by the bill as it passed the
house but the reduction will be differ
emily distributed. The most important
conclusion reached is to reduce from I9
to 9 cents the tax on tobacco. There is
also to be reduction of the tax on ci
gars and snuff. The house left all these
articles untouched. The senate commit
tees decision as to these articles will re-
duce the revenue receipts about $lo. .ooo,-
600. This will be made mp by declining to
accept all the house reductions. Conse-
quently all the articles from which the
house took off all the tax will be given
half the former rate by the senate COM
mittee.
1t is probable that on proprietary ar
ticles, the formula Of which is public.
the tax will be entirely removed, while
upon those the formula of which is se-
cret it will be retained entirely. The tax
on steamship tickets will be reduced. The
tax on steerage tickets will be removed
entirely. The tax on stock transfers will
probably be continued on the par value
Of the shares as at present. but this mat
ter has not been definitely passed upon.
The members Of the committee express
the opinion that to place the tax upon
the selling value Of stocks would Be an
invitation to fraud.
The beer tax has been discussed ct con-
siderable length but no absolute decision
has been reached. The present tendency
is to leave the rate as fixed by the house.
The tax on kilograms also remains un.
decided. Some OF the members of the
committee have made an effort to have
the law amended SO as to reduce the tax
to half cent per message, but to make
the telegraph companies pay it. This
proposition has not been accepted in its
entirety but the reduction seems prob
able. The form Of the bill will be al
tered materially.

was made today to the governor Of the
state Of Pennsylvania for charter for a
corporation called the Neeb Hirsch Pub

those interested in the new concern are
Henry w. Oliver and other prominent
business men. The new German daily,
which will also appear on Sundays and
