THK IDAHO SENATORSHIP. A Lively Fight in Prospect Between the Two Claimants to the Seat. ‘MR. CLAGETT IN THE CITY LOOKING OUT FoR BIS CASE—WEAT HE SAYS TO A STAR REPORTER—EE 18 CONFIDENT THAT BE WILL WIN — THE CHARGES OF BRIBERY. There promises to be a very lively fight be- tween the two claimants to the seat in the United States Senate to which the junior Sena- tor from Idaho ia entitled. Mr. Dubois and his friends are very confident, but the result is by no means certaiu. Just before Mr. Dubois left the city, it is stated, he received a dispatch from Editor McDonald of the Falls (Idaho) Post stating that he (McDonald) knew that King and Emery, two members of the legisla- ture, had been offered bribes in the interest of Mr. Clagett, the contestant, and that it would be easy to establish that there had been bribery to secure Mr. Clagett’s election. Mr. Clagett is in the city looking out for his case and seems as confident of snecess as is Mr. Dubois. He is evidently determined to make a hard fight and expresses the opinion that he is certain to get the seat. A Stam reporter had a talk with bim at his apartments this morning. He is a Marylander by birth and is in appear- ance a typical southern gentleman. He is tall, slender, graceful and dignified in his bearing. His hair and mustache are perfectly white, ae wears no whiskers and he has a clear-cut, amiable and dignified countenance. His fore- head is high, his eyes keen and his voice ma- sical. He talks’ fluently and with an easy con- fidence and is not unlike Senator Butler of South Carolina in appearance, though he can- not be said to positively resemble the South Carolinian. It goes without saying, therefore, that he isa handsome man of impressive ap- pearance. : . WHAT BE THINKS. “Thave,” he said, “the law, the equities and morals on my «ide, and I do not sec how I can fail to get the seat. I have searched carefully for pre- cedents and can find. none which will sustain Mr. Dubois in his claim. The history of the contest is interesting and explains the matter so that it may be understood here as we all understand it at home. The state is divided as nearly in half as may be by the Sal- mon River mountains and the two sides are a8 remote from all business connection as are Maine and Texas. There are times during the year when a man might, by traveling in bridle paths and chopping his way through fallen trees, pass across from north to south Idaho or the other way, but there are no paths of commerce or of travel between the two parts of the state. ‘Thenorth and the south are com- tely cut off from each other. When I want go to the capital, in the southern part of the state, I have to travel seven hundred miles, go- ing ‘outside of the either through This gave rise to the gave rise to Proposition, which was under discussion for robably twenty-four = to annex north Tasho to Washiugton. Fors long while the territory or state has been controlled by a clique in the southern part. For eleven years not one penny of the money appropriated by Congress for surveys and public improvements has been spent in the northern part. When pag cea of the admission of the state came up there was a sentiment in favor of dividing the senatorial honors between the two sections, providing that one should come from the north and one from the south. ‘The case was similar to that of Maryland years ago, when, the state being divided by the bay and means of transportation being very imperfect, it was decided that each section of the state should have senator, and the custom has held ever since. . ONE SEXATOR TO EACH SECTION. “At our convention the proposition was made to give one Senator to each section, and after three or four days’ debate the resolution was garried. Tt was then made w plank in our plat- form and it was sup) ere would be no dificulty about it. But when the legislature met Mr. Dubois and Mr. Shoup got up a combination to secure the election of three Senators instead of two, and they got Mr. McConnell into it, their plan being to let Mr. Shoup and Mr. McConnell draw for the terms, short or long, but regardless of the result of their drawing to insure Mr. Dubois the full six years’ term beginning after the 4th of March. “They wanted me to go into the combination instead of Mr. McConnell, but I would not agree to the violation of the platform and the sacrifice of the interests of my section of the state. I that sec- tion of the state to succeed him, but if the short term fell to the northern senator to elect aman from the northern part of the state to succeed him. In this way each section would haye a senator. This was what was contem- plated in our platform, amd with that un-| BF nie standing ol igen part of the all the local offices to the south except that of lieutenant gov- ernor. But Mr. Dubois wanted the six rears’ tel of who got the other long tera and the ombisation was fixed to the state. Under the constitution of the state the for the two Senators was begun within ten days after the first mevting of the legislature. ‘That being the election of Cisted by tho gues! lew providing tor ae election, | the balloting” beginning ieciantam.

MINERS FORCED TO STEAL. NO SIGNS OF MODERATION. Severe Weather Prevailing in Southwest ‘Rugiaod Loxpox, March 13.—While throughout the London district a thaw has set in and iscausing considerable inconvenience to travelers, both en foot and in public vehicles, there are uo signs of a moderation in the severity of the weather expericnced in the southwest of Eng- land. A heavy snow storm prevailed throughout the past night in Devonshire and Cornwall, ‘considerably adding to the sufferings of the farmers of those coun- ties and still further impeding the resumption of traffic on the railroads of the southwest. As for the country roads they are utterly impassa- bie, hugh snow drifts completely preventing any communication between the different towns and villages. SEVERE ON THE VILLAGES. This state of affairs naturally is very severe upon numerous villages which depend almost entirely upon the towns in their neighborhood for supplies of food and fuel. In tact, in the case m a number of these «mall villages their isolation is already causing considerable ¥, a8 actual starvation stares them in the face should the weather not moderate shortly sutticiently to allow them to be revictualed. Efforts in that direction are already being made, but the snow storm's fury impedes the work of rescue, for such in fact it is. MUCH LIVE STOCK DESTROYED. In addition to the enormons losses suffered by the farmers in sheep and cattle, which have either been frozen todeath in the fields or which have been smothered beneath the mountainous snow drifts to be found on all sides, large numbers of horses have a alike manner. ‘The farmers and vi result of the storms of the last few days, are living upon their reserve stocks of bacon and ham and are turning to their hen roosts and pig styes for a further supply of food. SUFFERING FOR FooD. The farmers, however, are in a state of com- plete happiness in comparison with their poorer neighbors, the country laborers and artisans. Many of these have no such reserve stocks of food to fall back upon and are already suffering severely, with the prospect of further and in- e suffering for some time.
