Goth Congress:
"The session of Congress just
closed was very busy one for our
delegation and as far as we were
concerned it was not "do-nothing"l
Congress by any means. A great
deal of important legislation was
enacted of interest to the entire
country. The great supply bills
were passed which appropriate
money to maintain the executive de-
partments of the government. Much
legislation desired by the President
of special benefit to the laboring in
terests, including the employers Ii
ability bill was enacted; while some
needed amendments to the present
interstate commerce lawwere pass
ed. Treaties for the regulation of
trade etc. were adopted with nearly
all the foreign nations.
A currency law was passed which
is intended to prevent the recurrence
of such panic as existed last fall,
and while it is not all that could
be desired it was the best that could
be passed and is much better than
no financial legislation. The Pres
ident and the two Houses of Con-
gress felt that there should be some
financial legislation to guarantee
the country against another rich
mans panic. The law was espec-
tally commended by the Republican
Convention at Chicago.
One much needed piece of legis-
lation was the enactment of a law
placing widows of soldiers Of the
civil war on a status similar to the
service pension law and paying
them twelve dollars per month in
stead of eight. The law as finally
passed was practically copy of a
bill that had been previously intro
duced by myself.
One of the most important pieces
of legislation effecting Idaho was
the granting of two millions of acres
of land under the Carey Act. Ida
no had about exhausted her former
grant under this act, and in order
for the great work of reclamation
under the Carey Act to proceed, it
was necessary for us to secure an
additional grant. The two millions
of acres was finally secured, but
only after much difficulty espec.
tally in the House where there was
opposition from certain sources.
An appropriation of twenty five
thousand dollars was secured to
provide for the survey of the bound
airy line between Idaho and Mon
tana.
Congress granted two sections OF
land in Fremont county for fish
hatchery.
The Chatcolet Park bill, provid-
ing for about six thousand acres Of
land for park on lake Occur d.
Alene and lake Chatcclet, was pas
sed.
An act of special significance anC
benefit to St. Maries was the setting
apart of forty acres for cemetery

Tower to the commander of the forces
at Casa Blanca.
He Informed the authorities Of his dis
coyery, confirming IL by producing writ
ten copies Of several of the intercepted
messages. When il was learned that the
same messages had been received at a
French military wireless station FL Yer
dun and probably at the German wire
less station on the other side of the
Vosges, a great sensation was naturally
caused among the French authorities.
Steps were imediately taken with a
view to developing an improved form
of apparatus that should render such
leakagcs impossible. and a sreies of in-
toresting experiments in now in prog
rcss showing that the French govern
meut is in the exclusive possession Of a
form OF apparatus that is both efficient
in transmission and free from Ieakages.
The essential feature OF the new form
of apparatus is that the messages are
transmitted in a special tone where
by it becomes impossible FOR other than
the predete mined stations 10 receive or
understand them. -Four French wire
less stations-Cssa Blanca. the Ei1ci
Tower I'm Paris. a battleship at Toulon,
and a battleship at Lorient-have been
nttcd with the new apparatus.
The experiments have after some pre-
Ilminary unsatisfactory trials, proved
highly. successful The Toulon and Lo-
rie1S vessels got into clear communication
with the Elffel Tower without any otheS
French station being able TO intercept
the messages. Waves have also been
intercepted for Casa Blanca but they
were evidently not OF sufficient force
10 make them useful. The experiments
are proceeding.

TICKLES THE GERMANS

BERLIN, Jan. 1S.-At Schumann's
Circus a spectacle based on Uncle
Toms Cabin" is attracting full houses,
and the famous old drama has probably
never been acted by large and better
equipped company in any part Of the
world. over 80 negroes, most of them
from the Kaiser's colonies, take part IN
the pantomimc, and there are blood
hounds and horses galore The slave
hunt is a very realistic picture. and
the slave market introduces some fifty
CUneiy women from German East
Africa in fantastic garb.
The spectacle winds Up with a Scene

break loose. In Berlin the engines pro-
coed to the scene OF disaster At a ieis-

manner. The sWiftnesS and noise IF

ROHAH hEDAN SLATED
AS AGENT IN ENGLAND

LONDON, Jan. IS-An official tele-
gram from Constantinople suggests the
probability that the new Turkish am
DassadOT in London will be a Moham-
medan and names Haiku Bey, a leading
Turkish jurist, as the most likely can
didate.
Mohanimedan officials ct the Porte,
says the telegram, have long been agi-
tating for the appointment Of a No
hammedan ambassador in England in
view Of the large number OF MOhammC-
dams in the British Empire. The prin-
ciple Of choosing Christian ambassadors
for London was observed only in Queen
NictOTia's time. The last four ambas-
SddOrs have been Christians The ap-
pOintu.ent OF Mussulman would,
therefore, be an interesting departure.

FROM VISIT TO PROVINCES

LONDON, Jan. 1S.-Sir EIdon Gorst,
the British agent, has returned to
Cairo from tour Of the Delta. in the
course OF which he visited four prov
inces. This was his first trip since he
left Egypt, In 1903. The two points
which struck him most were the great
interest taken by the notables and other
rlch Egy ptians in elementary and tech
mctu education. tho large sums they
were able and willing TO subscribe for
the promotion OF educational institu-
lions, and the extensive improvements
which have been effected by the mu-
nlcipal authorities in the provincial
towns, especially in Mansourah. These
facts Sir F. GOrst regards as satisfac-
tory signs OF the progress erected n
the moral development Of the people

1 Nobody about the halls Of Congress is

them. lie sits at his seat and pays the
most careful attention 10 the proceed
ings, which IS peculiarly necessary in
I his case, because he must rely on menu
DRY to do for him what eyesight does
for others. His memory is marvellous.
Writes Own Letters.
Senator Gore writes almost all his
own letters and spends much OF his
time. when not required to follow Iegis-
lative proceedings, doing this work. His
method i5 interesting. He viii lay q
piece OF paper on his desk and then
along the left-hand edge of It will lay
a h,tle ruler on which are a series of
small knobs at intervals, representing
the right distance between lines of writ
ing. He starts in and writes q line-and
it never runs uphill or down opposite
the first knob on the ruler. Then he
moves his guide finger down one knob
on the ruler. and starts at the next
knob, and so or. His handwriting is
vastly better than that Of the average
statesman with two good eyes. He
needs no letter press copies because he
remembers everything he writes by
nand.
After he became a Senator Mr.. Gore
spent considerable time learning the
Senate chamber. lie practiced Walking
from the different doors TO his seat. and
now does it so pcrfsoly that he can go
about the chamber with comparative
ease and certainty. From any entrance
he walks straight to his seat without
difficulty or hesitation. and so accu-
not knowing him to be stone blind,
would suspect it.
Wife His Assistant.
The Senator's wife has been his chief
assistant ia his work IS a public man.
