though some of the delegates left the
hall before his appearance, refusing
to remain and listen to him. At the
conclusion of Mr.. Evans speech the
committee started for the door amid
boots and Kisses from all parts Of the
hall, which we're mingled with cries
of 'fscab.
W. B. Botham. secretary of the car
mems union, appeared for the strikers
and was cheered by the delegates after

cognized at future meetings of the

OPENING OF NAVIGATION
Activity in Shipping and Boat

The docks have taken on the old
appearance of activity and the scenes

ing Of navigation as far as st. Maries,
is very lively. The towns along the
river which were for so long ice bound
and short of supplies are stocking up
with all s1rts of merchandise and each
boat that leaves for the upper country
is heavily laden with both passengers
and freight. Among the large ship
ments will be found -four, which was
running short, canned goods and veg
etables. The steamer Colfax of the
Red Collar line and the steamer Flyer,
of the White Star line, are now max
ing regular trips, the Flyer meeting
Northern Pacific trains.
There is also a marked activity in
the boat building line, and, aside
from the larger crafts, many small
ones are being constructed. Row
boats and canoes enough to furnish
twice the population Of the city are
being turned out by all boat COM
pauIes. Work on the larger boats is
being delayed owing to shortage Of

In connection with the arrest and

proprietor Of The Crystal bar at Lew

5000 and costs for Yates. 1t is known
that Des Chants was quite prominently
connected with the land fraud cases

Boise, Idaho, Feb. 12.-The Nc
Cutcheon test oath bill was today re-
ported by the house judiciary COM
mittee with amendments. These in
corporate the institutional quail
6cations for suffrage, adding patri-
archial and celestial marriage to the
practices of which a person Offering
to register must make oath he is not
guilty. The bill as amended has the
support Of the democrats and most of
the insurgent republicans, perhaps
all. 1t has always been charged by
machine republicans that the insertion
Of the clauses into the senate bill was
part of the agreement between the
house democrats and insurgent re
publicans. but it is denied that such
is the case. The story afloat now
is that the staIwarts will also support
the measure, and the Mormon mem
bers may vote for 1t, in which case
it would pass unanimously.
There is much activity now among
those seeking to secure a reunion of
republican forces in the house and
it is possible this bill will 90

the decks for more harmonious rela-
tions.
