DUBOIS CHANGES.
An Interesting Senatorial, Contes. in tho
 State of Idaho.

Boies, Idaho, January 6.-An interesting political contest is in progress tonight as preliminary of the meeting of the Legisla- ture tomorrow. The three fusion parties, Democrats Silver Republicans and Popu- lists, which controls both houses have been In caucus committees to divide the patron. age of the different bodies. An arrange ment has been made as to apportionment of the places, but now there is demand from the Silver Republicans that there shall be oint caucus tonight on the Senatorshp before the patronage agreement goes into effect.

REWARD OFFERED
 WILL GET ACTION Cudahy Receives an Important Letter Which May Lead
 to Right Trail

Omaha, Neb., January GA letter has been turned over to Chief Donahue of the Omaha police department in which an offer is made to deliver certain information to him regarding the abductors of Edward Cudahy, Jr, upon his compliance with cer- tain conditions. The chief and MT. Cudahy evidently considered the letter authentic and of enough importance to justify a re- ply, because the following advertisement this morning.:
 Your request, asked for in letter mailed at Lincoln on January to be answered be- fore January ', will be granted. E. A. Cudahy, J. A. Donahue."
 Both MT. Cudahy and Chief Donahue de- clined to night to say what the contents of the Lincoln letter were or to refer to the conditions prescribed therein. It is stated that the letter is from a man who knows every member of the gang which kidnapped Eddie Cudahy on December IS. Further, it is stated positively, that the revelations to be made by the writer of the letter will involve well known man in against whom positive evidence could be obtained. The acceptance of the offer of the unknown writer leads to the belief that he had placed price on his knowledge of the crime and has taken this means to protect himself from discovery as he gave no address in his letter, advising an adver- tisement be inserted if his propositions were considered favorably.

 Amendments.

Washington, January 6.-The Senate will continue to give practically uninterrupted attention to the army reorganization bill until that measure shall be disposed of. That the bill will pass no one doubts, and the general opinion is that it will get ent week, The measure may be in con- ference by Wednesday. There are several committee amendments yet to be consid- ered including those relating to the army at one time that the canteen provision would cause prolonged debate but the best opinion nIw Is that comparatively little time will be spent on it. number of amendments suggested by individual Sena- tors will be considered at great length and some speeches on the bill as a whole are yet to be made The provision of the bill authorizing the enlistment of Filipinos in the army of the United States is among the features which are almost certain to come up for sharp attack
 With the army bill out of the way the legislative, executive and judicial appro- priation bills, if any, are in shape to be considered
 The ship subsidy bill will be restored to the calendar as the regular order of busi- ness when the army bill is passed, and it will be pressed when no appropriation bills are waiting consideration.

PROGRAMME FOR THE COMING WEEK
 IN BOTH THE BRANCHES. IF CONGRESS
House Will Resume Discussion of the Reapportionment Bill.
 Hopkins Confident

Washington, January 6.-The considera- stunned tomorrow in the House. The indi- cations point to a final vote upon the meas- ure on Tuesday, but the fight over the basis of apportionment is a bitter one and the debate may be prolonged Mir. Hopkins is still confident that his bill will carry, but In order to pull 1t through he is now ready to concede an increase of three members to cover the major fractions of the states of Florida, Colorado and North Dakota. If his bill passes, it probably will be with this modification. The opposition is very aggres- sive, but on the surface seems ito lack the strength necessary to carry the Bureigh bill
 There are forces at work, however, by which the opposition hopes through the agencies of Senator Quay, Senator Platt of New York and Senator Lodge of Massachu- setts, to swing the delegations of New York, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts into line, and if successful the Hop kins bill may suffer defeat. Mir. Crimper of Indiana proposes to move to recommit the bill with instructions to reduce the repre- sentation of the southern states, but there Is no idea that such a proposition will pre- vail. After the disposal of the reapportion- ment bil the river and harbor bill will be taken up. It is expected to consume two days. The remainder of the week will be devoted to appropria ton bills.

LOSS ON BUILDING IN NOMINAL

Minneapolis, Minn., January 6.-Eight men lost their lives in fire at 115 Wash- ington avenue. South, at o'clock this morning, which had it's origin in the rear or the Standard Furniture Store. The men were overtaken by an intense volume of smoke in the Harvard Hotel, which occu- pies the second third and fourth floors of the building, and death In every instance was due to suffocation. The fire was dis covered by Charles Hanson as he was about to go to his room on the second floor. He immediately apprised George OConnor, the night clerk, and the two men set about to awaken the lodgers. Hanson devoted his attention to the second floor while oCon- nor rushed upstairs The men were all sound asleep and 1t was with the greatest difficulty that they were aroused In sev. eral instances it was necessary for O'Con- nor to break in doors.
 In the meantime he gave the alarm and the warning soon spread. O'Connor was finally forced to beat a retreat because of the smoke. What took place in the dingy rooms and narrow dark railways will never be known. It was a case of every man rushing for his own life. Nineteen of the twenty-seven lodgers were successful, but the others were unable to beat their way through the smoke, succumbed and fell in their tracks, where they were found by the fremen. Many of those who escaped came staggering out the snowy side- walk like drunken men, barely making their way through the deadly smoke and heat and only partially clad.
 The loss on the building and contents will not exceed s5000.
