To the Electors Of WeiSer.

When first [ was requested by
numerous citizens to accept the nomi-
nation for mayor of the town of
Weiser, l refused to do 80, as | felt
there were older and more expert
enced men in the town who were bet
ter qualified to fill the honorable
position, but being pressed by my
friends to accept the same and upon
being assured that my associates on
the ticket would be the Hon. L. p.
Woodcock, the leading republican of
Washington county Che being chair
man of the republican central COM
mittee of the county and the Hon.
Thos. Galloway, who is now mem
Der of the Legislature of Idaho and
one of the leading democrats of the
state, l felt it an honor, and also a
duty, to affiliate with them and my
friends for better government in
moral and financial affairs for the
welfare of our community.
At that time did not expect to
solicit any votes and so advised my
friends, as l thought and still think
the office should seek the man and
not the man the office; but since one
! of our townsmen who seems to think
he is the only man whose interests in
Weiser should be considered, Che be-
ing largely interested in the whole
sale and retail of wet goods has
been making personal charges against
me and my associates, Messrs. Gallo
way and Woodcock, | think it advis-
able to put myself right before the
public.
First of all / want to say to the
citizens OF Weiser that the charge
that either Messrs. Galloway, Wood
cock or myself have had any under
standing with Col. Butcher or any
/. other parties regarding a claim which
Mr., Butcher may have against tb'
/. city OF Weiser Is false and In m,

In the diplomatic corps the news OF

has caused great interest. A diplomat
whose government is inclined to SYM

nations to pass on the attack at Port
Arthur, but as to the threatened attack
on Chemulpo this diplomat said the
Russian government expected the pow

would give this matter their earnest

st. Petersburg, Feb. 24.-OmciaI
classes are discussing the reports of the
Internal condition of Russia, which is
causing the government much anxiety.
1t is stated that the car has summoned
the provincial governors at st. Peters
burg to devise strong measures of cop
ing successfully and in concert With
the manifestations of discomfort.
There is feverish activity in all de-
partments, but 1t is everywhere felt
and regretted that no master mind is
at present in conduct of affairs.
The dispatch of troops for the east
is being complicated by transportation
OF indictments. surgical appliances
and war material, none of which was
ready at the outbreak of the war.
The publication of news that SONG

Washington, Feb. 24.-oficials here

low the efforts of the belligerents in
Asia to define c~ontraband of war in a
manner injurious to American trade.
While the matter Mas not yet been
treated in the. negotiations had with
Russia n Japan on one side and the
United States on the other, there is rea-
son to believe that some of the Euro
pear powers have already been con-
fronted with threatened restrictions
upon their trade which they are dis
posed to resist. :
A vast quantity of American food
stuffs is now afioat, destined for both
Russia and Japan. and it is probable
the question will be very speedily
raised as to whether or not these sup
plies are co~ntraband of war. sThe.
United States has in recent years in
sisted that foodstuffs were not contra
band and could not be seized by bellig-t
erents unless it were shown that the
goods were consigned to or clearly in
tended for the belligerent. This prin-
ciple was recognized by the British.
