the battle over the creation of rail
road commission In Idaho ended in
defeat of the railroad lobby today
when the house passed a bill provid
Ing for the commission by a vote OF

much in doubt.

Boise, Feb. 13.-Open charges that
railroad lobbyists are working in the
legislative hall to defeat the railroad
commission bill and the recommen-
dation of the senate to pass the in
itiative and referendum, marked the
developments today in the two re-
spective houses.
The lobby charge was made by
Representative Grow, who stated to
the house that members should be
wary of the corporation representa-
tiyes, who have already approached
many of them, and propose to resort
to every means to defeat the commits
sion measure. Either the majority
wing of the senate has laid down on
It's fight against the initiative and
referendum or the republicans intend
to rise up and slaughter it on final
passage. for today both reform meas
ures came out of the committee of

and after a remarkably mild debate.
Senator Shawhan of Payette led
the fight against both measures, but
received only lukewarm support. He
the reform governmental
ideas as radical, improper and some
thing the people have not clamored
for, nor do they want it. Senator
Hornibrook championed the meas
ures.
The legislature passed the new di-
vorce law, extending residence to one
year in the state and three months

July there were more than 100000 en-
listed. So far as men were concerned
the administration was suffering from
an embarrassment Of riches. Ihat
end of it was easy. The hard task was
to arm. drill and provision the men
offered. 1t was on April 10. just after
the fall cf Sumter sthat the president
had made his first call and May 3
when he had issued the second. Yet
several governors met at Cleveland ana
ON May 9 asked permission to furnish
more troops. The country was Oh fre
with enthusiasm and was clamoring
for the administration to do something.
Not only were soldiers being offered,
but money. The first gun that fred on
Fort Sumter hurled shot which ulti'
mately destroyed the Southern Confed-
eracy.
The south was not less active than
was the north. Only few days be-
fore May 30 Virginia had definitely
cast In her lot with the gulf states,
and the whole eleven commonwealths
that were to make up the Confeder-
ate States Of America had taken their
stand. The peace advocates were
ouieted. Both sides realized at last
that the clash must come. The issue
was drawn, the lists made up, and all
that awaited was the trial by force.
The future campaign had begun to
assume nebulous form. The cry OF
"On to Richmond" had been started
by Greeley and others. Fifteen thou
sand Pennsylvania troops were march
ing in the direction of Harpers Ferry.
where a number of Confederates-no-
body then knew just how many-were
massed. General Benjamin F. Butler
had first been put in command at Bal
timore, through which hotbed he soon
made 1t eminently safe for Union
troops to pass. and was then in COM
mand at Fortress Monroe. Alexan-
dria and Arlington were in the hands
of Federal troops, an expedition had
pushed up the James river. with q
base at Newport News. and another
force had started bombardment at
ACQuld SItCh.
Just about May 30 news came that
the enemy was establishing a base at
Manassas. which was altogether the
most fateful item Of all, but Washing
ton was still in blissful ignorance OF
this, Bull Run being seven weeks
away.
In the west three regiments had
crossed the Ohio river at Marietta,
Bellaire and Wheeling, had taken
Parkersburg and were then concen-
trating on Grafton. General George
B. Mcclellan was in command and
had issued a proclamation advising the
West virginians to break away, as
they subsequently did. There was
also activity in Missouri, where Cap
tain Nathaniel Lyon was temporarily
in charge. Governor Claiborne f.
Jackson and many more officials and
citizens were determined that Missou'
ri should 60 out of the Union. Frank
P. Blair, Captain Lyon and others

Ellsworth had lost his life at Alexan-

like electric shocks in stirring the
north and like magnetic currents In
uniting it. Lircolns call for $4,000
men had been answered by an offer
of many times that number, and his
subsequent call for 1904 had been
filed promptly. as had also his order to
increase the standing army by 22,714.
States were clamoring to supply more
than their quota. extra troops were be-
ing offered from every side, and Lin
