called upon Mr.. Mccall for the payment
of the money. He acceded to the de-
mands, paying $4,000 in cash and Civ
ing his notes for S150,000. the latter be-
ing secured by a mortgage on his coun-
try place, which later he sold subject
to the mortgage. Mr.. Mccall realized
in all something over 100000 for the
property, which was said TO have cost
him just double that amount.
First Sinking Spell.
Ten days ago Mr.. Mccall suffered the
first sinking sTell of his illness and was
very low for several days. Then he
improved slightly. One week ago to-
day, however, he suffered q second
sinking spell and grew much worse.
His condition became so low that his
life was despai. ed of. A priest of the
Roman Catholic church, of which faith
Mr. Mccall wa. an adherent, was sum-
moned and the last sacraments of the
church were administered to the stTick-
en- man.
Whea all hope had been lost, Mr.. Nc
Call suddenly rallied. It was an effort
OF the mind and will, however, and not
a physical Improvement. The attend
ing physicians fOresaw the approaching
end and so warned his family, who re-
manned with the SICK man from that
time to the period Of dissolution.
Mr.. McCaIIs mental effort to shake
off his ailments was the result of the
report Of the Fowler investigating COM
mittee, com posed of directors If the
New York Life, who made public their
findings ten days ago. They censured
Mr.. Mccall Sc erely for certain acts Of
his in connection with the legislative
bureau established by him with An
drew Hamilton at its head.
All efforts made to keep the contents
Of the report from the sick man were
unsuccessful, who, learning the state
ment had been filed, worried so much
over the matter that it was decided
early last week to permit him to see It.
The recommendations I'm the report de-
handing of him a fuller accounting Of
the legislative work than he had made,
are said to have been a crushing blow
to the company's former president. He
declared to his family and to the fntf-
mate friends who saw him that he was
determined 10 get well, that he wanted
to live to set himself right before the
American people. The strain was too
much, however. end from that time Mr..
McCaIPs decline was rapid

DIRECTORS ELECTED
OF IDAHO RAILROAD
Special to The Herald.l


Boise, Ida, Feb. 1S.-At Weiser to-
day a stockholders meeting of the Pa
cifc & Idaho Northern Railway com
pany was held. It resulted in the cleo
ton Of the following directors: F. r.
Cordley, J. II. Richards. Lewis Hall,
E. NJ Heigho and W. E. Borah.
These were elected as representa-
tives of the bondholders. F. r. Cord
ley, the direct representative Of the
bondholders, was elected president, and
z NJ. Heigho vice president and gen
eral manager.
The outlook for the extension of the
road nOrthwaTds is very good. L. C
VanTfper, who has had contract with
the company under which he would
secure control Of stock upon furnishing
a certain amount of money. has been
given control until March 1 to make
payment. If he fails the bondholders
will go on with the construction of the
line. The holders Of bonds are among
the strongest financial men of New
York, and the announcement that they
stand ready to proceed with the con-
StTuCtiOn of the road is Of particular
Importance. Mr. G. Vanriper has
sought to get control and is thought to
represent railway interests, but it has
never been shown what the interests
we're. However, it is the belief that if
he takes hold it viii be for the pur-
pose of continuing the road.
A common theory is that one party
or the other. or perhaps both. have an
understanding with the Hill interests
under which the road viii be continued
to a Hill connection in the north.
Another theory is that both Hill and
Gould are interested in the matter and
the road would also be continued
southwestward to a connection with
the Western Pacific in Nevada.

Joint Maneuvers Provision.

a provision for joint army and mill
tia maneuvers is another topic prolific
Of discussion. There is an aggregate
Of S700, 900 carried in the measure for
this purpose. The plan is to have the
maneuvers held IN many sections Of the
country Regular army troops are to
be marched from their regular posts TO
the sites selected for the maneuvers,
ard militia within a convenient location
will be asked to participate. In this
way general benefit is expected to be
spread throughout both organizations.
The bill contains a provision abOlishing
mileage pay for officers and men when
travelling by sea. In the place of mile
age in this instance the actual expenses
Of the trip are to be paid by the gov
eminent. Retired officers are by this
agreement allowed TO receive mileage
under certain restrictions. The use Of
army transports is restricted by the
bill to transporting troops and army
supplies.

would be but one or two seasons be-

Washington, Feb. Is.-Mr. VeIoz Goiti-

garding a cablegram from Caracas, via

Although &c is a well known fact that

BISHOP SEES NO
SIGN OF TROUBLE
Methodist Missionary Society Re.
cetves Reassuring Message
From Shanghai, China.
OUTBREAK Is IMPROBABLE
MISSIONARIES IN THE FIELD NOT
AFRAID.

New York, Feb. 1s,-In view Of the
many disturbing reports In the public
press concerning the conditions in
China and the possibility Of further
outbreaks such as those at IdenchoW
and Shanghai. and the consequent
anxiety OF relatives and friends OF mis-
s1onaries in China, the secretaries of
the missionary society OF the Metho-
dist Episcopal church sent cablegrams
OF inquiry to Bishop BashfOrd at
shanghai and also to representatives
Of the several missions of that church
of Tien Tsin, North China, Nangkin,
Central China; Chungkeng, West
China, and FoochOw. for the FoochOw
and Hinghua missions.
These cablegrams were sent on
Thursday and Friday, Feb. Is and Is.
That 10 Bishop Bashford covered all
the Methodist missions in China He
recently returned from an official visit
TO the West China mission, coming
down the river through the Central
China mission, whose chief stations are
on the Yangste- IN the late fall he
spent some months in the Foochow and
Hanghua missions. in the south. where
there has been the most agitation
among the Chinese people.
The Bishops Reply.
"AH are safe In China. No danger
apparent. BashfoTd."
The response from the mission treas
UTeTs in north. central, western and
south China. dated Feb. II. are of like
tenor to that from the bishop:
"Tientsin-NO disturbances; safe"
"Nanking-No trouble anywhere"
''FOochOw-FOochow and Hinghua
quiet"
''Chungking-Al quiet
Not a letter received recently at the
missionary office from any Methodist
missionary in China speaks Of any
trouble OF excitement among the Chi
nese people or expressing any appre-
tension Of an outbreak.
The secretaries of the missionary
society added to the foregoing state
ment the following:
All China Tranquil.
AS China is In a tranquil state and
the leaven of western ideas is working
the mass, ferment is to be expected,
but any general uprising such as the
Boxer uprising IS very improbable.
The veteran missionary, DR.. Arthur
Smith, author OF China in Convulsion,'
expects some trouble and sporadic out
breaks. but does not believe that the
awful tragedy Of 1900 can be repeated.
The government Of China knows
that the vengeance of the foreign ma
tions would fall with terrific force not
only upon the dynasty, but upon the
empire itself if the terrible scenes of
1900 were re-enacted.
THE situation is delicate and calls
for prudence on the part of the mis-
sioraries. and precautionary measures
by the societies. The missionaries are
on the ground; many of them are men
and women of large experience and
know how TO discern signs of coming
denger- It IS safe TO rely on thei-
Judgment. Bishop BashfOrd is in
Shanghai keeping careful watch over
the safety of our missionaries. He will
be quick TO see signs of danger and
give warning"

Senate Programme.

The senate's programme, so far as it
has been arranged, provides only for the
final consideration of the pure food bill
and the continuance Of the discussion Of
the statehood bill which was begun last
Thursday by Senator Dick. The vote on
the pure food bill will be taken on We'd
nesday, and 1t VIII be discussed TO q con-
siderable extent during Monday and
Tuesday. Senator Hepburn has given
notice that he will call the bill up Mon
day for the purpose Of offering and per
hitting others to offer amendments. The
vote will be taken wednesday imme
diately after the close Of the routine bus
mess.
Senator Dick viii continue his speech
Monday in support of the statehood bill,
but there is no decision as to who will
follow him. Senator Beverage says that
he expects the opposition TO choose
senator to reply to the Ohio senator. but
no one on that side appears prepared to
proceed with set speech, and it now ap-
pears probable that the proposed amend
ments to the bill may be taken up for
consideration at an earlier date than has
heretofore been expected.

opportunity to vote separately on the
question Of joint statehood for New Mex

probable that that point may be quite
suddenly reached. The acceptance of the

bringing the discussion of the measure to
