STEUNENBERQ WON
Governor' sPolicy in the Coeur
d'AIenes Indorsed.
SETTLED BY A DECISIVE VOTE
Idaho's Delegate to Kansas Cltr
Will Defend Coarse Pursued
-to Get Order at Ilaes.
kEWISTOX, Idaho, June 5-T-he forces
of Governor Steunenberg triumphed to
day in the State Democratic Contention
by" treating the contesting delegation from
Shoshone County that .Is friendly to the
Governor1 by a vote of 152 to 77. The r
feult is practical indorsement of Governor
Steunenbecs's administration as applied t6
the Coeur d'Alene matter, aa the fight
was made almost entirely on that Iie.
Tiie opposition to the Governor made a
stubborn fight for two days, and the debate-
on-the Teport of the credentials -committee
lasted four hour?. Only indirect
reference was made to the Coeur d'Aleno
trouble by the opposition, the speakers
limiting their remarks to the personnel of
cpntcetlng delegations and to the regular
ity of the credentials.
Shoshone County Is the scene or tho
Coeur d'Alene difficulties, and one of the
contesting delegations represented the ele
ment opposed to the administration of af
fairs there. The issue, therefore, brought
the Coeur d'Alene matter directly be
fore the convention. The Steunenberg mn
contended that the Democratic Shoshone
Ccunty Contention was controlled by Pop
ulists, who captured the primaries under
dictation of those responsible for the labor
troubles.
On the preliminary vote today to eat
neither delegation, the proposition was
defeated by a vote of 133 to 97 The vote
on this contest showed Steunenbergf con
trol of the convention, and the opposition
then gave way.
The resolutions passed indorse Bryan for
the Presidency, and Colonel James Ham
ilton Lewis, of Seattle, for Vice-President,
and favor fusion of all reform forces In
the campaign. The convention adjourned
at 10 o'clock tonight, after .electing the
iollowlng delegates to tho National con
vention: "Colflnel "W. H. Dwey. of Is'ampa. del-egate-at-lnrge:

ton; "W. B. McFarland. of Coeur d'Alene;
Judge C. O. Stockelagcr, of Hailey; E.
H. "Dockery, of Boise; John G. Brown, of

d'Alenes before the National convention.

WILL HELP THE SCHOOLS.
Sfevr Register Gotten Out by State
Superintendent Ackerman.
SALEM. Or., June C Superintendent of
Public Instruction J. M. Ackerman has
just completed a new register, to be used
in air the public schools In the state. The
general plan in the new register Is to have
a detailed record of the work of every
pupil, from tho time he enters school until
he leaves, and a copy of the record to be
left by the teacher for the use of his suc
cessor. It has been the experience of every
teacher" who IS employed In the country
schools that their predecessors are negli
gent in the matter of leaving records. A
"new teacher" has been compelled to en
ter the schoolroom on tne first day of the
term without the slightest information
regarding the classes, the work they have
covered, the proficiency of the pupils or
tho studies they should next pursue. The
new register is designed to remedy this
defect in the public school system.
Aside from the facts regarding attend
ance, deportment, etc . shown by the old
form of school registers, the new record
book contains blank n paces for a. list ol
classes, the names of pupils in each clas,
the text-books used, -the page at which
the pupils began and ended, the page at
which they should begin In the new term,
and special Information regarding Individ
ual pupils. A full programme of tno
branches taught, ilth the hour at which
each class recites, and the number of min
utes given to each recitation, is also to be
given. The register contains detachable
blanks, which must be filled with copies
of the programme, and filed with the Coun
ty Superintendent. The annual report,
heretofore made singly, :s now to be made
In duplicate, one copy to bo left In the
Tegister and the other to be filed with the
County Superintendent.
After the teacher shall have completed
his record for the school year, he must
sign it and have it approved and signed
by tho chairman of the school board. Each
teacher Is required to report to the County
Superintendent whether the preceding
teacher left the records as required.
By the use of this new register the rec
ords left in each school In the state will
be so complete that a new teacher may
enter the schoolroom and take up the
work exactly where his predec ssor loft off.

son. Perhaps 40,000 cases of the prospec
tive falling off are attributed to upper
river conditions, where, owing to the stage,
of water, canneries have practically con
cluded operations for the season, minus
that number of cases as compared with
1SS9.
The scarcity of fish now In the river is
pronounced unusual by all engaged In the
business, even for June, which Is always
regarded as one of the short months In
the Spring and Summer season. The one
redeeming feature of the season's expe
rience, so far, is the fine" quality and slzo
of the fish. Not for many years has the
general average of salmon caught reached.
so hlgn a standard.
It Is possible improved runs later In the
season may operate to somewhat reduce
the shortage which now seems certain.
Fish will have to be very much more
plentiful between now and the season's
close, however, than they were during the
corresponding period last year to avoid
very heavy loss this season.

EVADING NEW YORK TAXES.
Bradley Martin and W. W. Astor
Seeking Relief.
NEW YORK. June G. Bradley .Martin
and William Waldorf Astor, formerly two
of New York City's wealthiest residents,
are seeking to be relieved of taxes placed
upon their personal property" here. If they
succeed, the city will lose thousands of
dollars.
Mr. Astor has not bnly glyen up bis resi
dence here, but also has Renounced hla
citizenship and Is now a citizen of Eng
land. Mr. Martin has not yet gone to this
extent, but says he is no longer a resi
dent of this city, and has not been for
about two years. Mr. Astor's property
has been asessed at 52,000,000, and that
of Mr. Martin at 5200,000. Dependent upon
the result of the assessment In the case
of Mr. Martin are two other cases, that
of his wife, Cornelia S. Martin, who has
been assessed at 5200,000, and that of Mrs.
Elizabeth Sherman, for 5250,000.
Discussion was had before Justice An
drews in the Supreme Court In the cer
tiorari procedings to review the assess
ment of Mr. Martin's personal property.
Judge Andrews reserved his decision.
William Waldorf Astor's certiorari pro
ceedings to review the action ot the com
missioners In assessing his personal prop
erty In this city for 1890, for the purpose
of taxation at 52,000,000, has been set for
hearing next Tuesday. Mr. Astor argue3
that when the assessment was made he
had no personal property here subject to
tax. He says he has not been a resident
of this city since 1&5. He protested
against the Imposition of the tax in person
a year ago, and since then has become a
subject of the Queen.
Corporation Counsel Whalen, for the
Commissioners, holds that although Mr.
Astor gave, up pis residence here In 1S35,
he was taxed! regularly every year there
after, but made no protest until last year.

As the blood contains all the elements necessary to sustain life, it is impor
tant that it be kept free of all impurities, or it becomes a source of disease,
poisoning instead of nourishing the body, and loss of health i3 sure to follow.
Some poisons enter the blood from without, through the skin by absorption, or
inoculation ; others from within, as when waste products accumulate in the
system and ferment, allowing disease germs to develop and be taken into the
circulation. While all blood troubles have one common origin, each has some
peculiarity to distinguish it from the other. Contagious Rlood Poison. Scrofula, gu ...

disease shows sooner or later on the ontside and on the weakest part of the body, or wliere it finds the least resistance.
Many mistake the sore or outward sign for the real disease, and attempt a cure by the use of salves, liniments and Other
external applications. Valuable time is lost and no permanent benefit derived from such treatment,

SHIPPING PROFITS.
Cheapest Service Will Win -Unless
Offset by Taxation.
New York Journal of Commerce.
The demands of tho British Govern
ment, together with the general expan
sion in the foreign commerce of tha
world, gave promise that 1SS9 would bes
an exceptionally good year for British
shippings The financial statements of 10
companies upon which the "Economist"
has commented indicate that last year
was rather better than the year before,
but the increased expenses for fuel and
for repairs, on account of the rise in iron
and steel, and increases in other ex
penses have cut into the gross receipts
till the net profits ot the 10 companies
were only 4 per cent better in 1899 than
in 1S9S. Tho dividends of the 10 com
panies range all the way from nothing
to 20 per cent, but those of six companies
ranged between 3 and 8 per cent, the
one company that paid nothing and tbe
three companies that paid over 8 per cent
were evidently affected by somewhat ex
ceptional circumstances. The net.proflts
in 1S99 were not in all cases greater than
In 1898, and one company Increased its
dividends from 10 to 13 per cent, whlo
the net prolit had declined somewhat.
The net profits bear no relation what
ever to the sums paid by the Govern
ment for postal services, whether these
be called subsidies or not. The Cunard
paid 5 per cent last year and 3 the year
before. The companies paying" the
largest dividends do a strictly Commer
cial business, depending very little upon
passengers and little or nothing upon
malls, and earning their money by the
transportation of freight In steamers
which- make no pretensions to speed and
are economical in men and coal.
On the Atlantic the race of ocean grey
hounds is not extinct, or likely to become
so, yet the companies that cater to the
service of passengers and mails show an
Increasing disposition to limit the num
ber of their fast steamers, and rely more
and more upon their comparatively slow
steamers -with large freight carrying ca
pacity for their earnings. It would ap
pear that there is enough money In mails
and the higher-priced classes of passen
gers to keep a small number of fast
steamers In commission, but the lines
that operate these steamers are steadily
increasing their fleets of more economi
cal vessels.
The problem of International competi
tion upon the seas Involves more than
tho relative costs of vessels, or even the
relative costs of their "operation. Capital
Is pretty fluid, and Is getting more so.
But it Is hot yet fluid, enough to reduce
profits to a level all over tho world. The
German or the Norwegian capitalist Is
accustomed to -a. closer margin of profits
than the English, and tha English capit
alist Is accustomed to a narrower mar
gin than the American. Where tha op
portunity of investment on land is more
restricted there will be a greater compe
tition among- investors In property upon
the sea, and this will keep a large amount
of. European capital invested Jn marine
property regardless of any artiflefal stim
ulus that may be given to shipping in
this country. If the amount of shipping
In existence should be largely Increased,
and especially If It should be increased In
response to no demand from shippers of
merchandise, but in order to secure.boun
tles and subventions, tho effect could
only bo to Increase tho competition for
cargoes and reduce freight charges. In
this competition the shipowners who can
get vessels cheapest, operate them for
the least cost, and who are willing to
accept the lowest rates of prbfrts, be
cause there are comparatively few things
they can turn their capital to, will be
the survivors In tho struggle for exist
ence. No governmental assistance can
long offset the advantages of the cheap
est competitor, unless it is arranged
to increase with every reduction that
may be mado In the charges for trans
portation. Competition in its present
condition may be met by a certain
amount of disbursement from the Treas
ury, but that very disbursement changes
the conditions of competition and creates
a demand for more assistance.
