Underwood's prospective activity in the framing of the new tariff. He is not only a competent tariff bill builder but holds the confidence of his party so firm ly that he will succeed in<putting the desired legislation through even though the Senate majority should happen to be republican. After July next, or at most a month later. he will likely be available for a cabinet post; and doubtless the place will be offered ii there is va- eancy then, or whenever there is a va cancy; provided, of course, there is any indication that he will accept it. In some respects Mir. Underwoods position as leader of the House of Representatives is more distinguished and more useful than a cabinet position, and it is possible that he may prefer to continue in 1t. If so, we, should not be inclined to find any fault with him.

gesture, each seeming to carry in his breast a congealed cry of anguish, which he expressed with bowed head and out stretched arms, or head thrown back and open mouth. Or else he was hideous- ly crawling on his hands, or wringing his hands, or folding them, or spreading out his fingers.
 The engineers in the boiler room seemed still slowly, slowly to be controlling the cylinder and driving wheel; yet different ly than before, since the law of gravity seemed no longer to be in force One of the engineers was doing his work in a peculiarly twisted way, like man asleep caught between the rim-of the wheel and the piston rod covered with verdigris. Frederick descended on his ghastly tour down to the stokers, whom the catastro- phe had surprised in the midst of their occupation. Some were still holding their shovels in their hands, though unable to lift them. They themselves were floating, while the shovels to which they clung did not stir from the bottom. All was ever. They could not kndle the fire into a white glow, and so could not keep the mighty steamer in its course.

Noli turbare circulos meos, these people, too, seemed to be say ing. All were thinking strenuously, ab- sorbed in the profoundest meditation they had plenty of time for pround med itaton-upon the riddle of life.
 In fact, they seemed to be placed there merely for the purpose of ref1ecting. Those men and women wringing their hands or spreading their fingers or walking on their hands. or even standing on the tip of a single finger. while grazing the cell ing with their feet, were all thinking.

No Difficulties, but Who Is

the Question.

Judge J. II. Beatty. former United
States judge for the district of Idaho,
is a tentative or receptive candidate
for the short term as United States
senator. The fact developed yesterday
when reliable report was received in
local political circles that Judge Beatty
had written letters to members elect
of the legislature, stating. II is said, In
effect that while not an active candi-
date he would not put aside the toga
should the legislature offer 1t to him
The claim Is made that by taking this
attitude Judge Beatty places himself

possibly agree upon, providing there is
deadlock
There was considerable stir in sena-
torial circles here when the report was
given circulation that the former fed
eral judge is again being pushed for
ward by his ardent friends as sena-
torial timber. They declare that there
is possibility that the legislature will
be so locked over the senatorial fight
that there will be a good chance for II

their faVorite forward.

office is the second candidate. His con-
nection with the railroads as a lobby
list two and four years ago is said to
have greatly injured his candidacy.
The lead that Representative French
has over other candidates in the race
was claimed by his friends to be suffi-
cient to put him in the speakers chair
and they assert he has virtually won
the race already. Mr.. French has per-
manently quartered himself in Boise.
He is located at the Manitou. The en-
tire Canyon county delegation will
make its headquarters there. Mr.
