ROISE. Idaho. Feb. 2S. (Staff Corrc-
pondenca)-B!t by bit the full story of
the prearranged plans for the assassins
tion of cx-Govcrnor Steunenberg Is sift
uv from beneath the Hd. The story of
the murder by the bomb has been told
so lias the story of the plan to shoot him
on Christmas eve. In all there were three
efforts to murder Idaho's ex-Governor,
and the story of the first attempt leaked
out today for the first time, as told by
Ham- Orchard in his confession.
Orchard first arrived in Caldwell early
In November, and stayed there for two
weeks. During this visit he boarded with
a mun named W. II. Schcnck. out near
the Stcunonberg home. For the first
.itmio of daw he had no -visitors. Each
morning when Orchard left Ids boarding
noticed that he turned
toward ex-Governor Stcuncnberg's rest
donee and scouted around the country,
gottlng information about the ex-Governor
t habits and taking In the topography
of the country.
First Attempt at Murder.
After Orchard had been living with the
Schcncks about a week a couple of men
answering the description of Jack Simp
kins and Steve Adams began calling upon
him in the evenings. Sometimes they
came together and sometimes only one
would call. Orchard began boarding with
Sohonck November 7, and romained there
until November 22. and it was between
these dates that the first attempt to as
sassinate cx-Govcrnor Stcuncnborg was
made.
According to Orchard's confession, the
. same bomb which finally accomplished its
floudlsh purpose was made by the three
men between these dates, and it was
placed across a path which the murderers
know the cx-Govcrnor was wont to travel,
going to and from his home to the bank
in Caldwell. By spying upon Stcuncn
berg's habits. Orchard learned that
Steuncnberg. when he reached the end of
the sidewalk, took a certain path to his
rosidoncc.
Lantern for n Signal.
With this knowledge in their possession,
the assassins waited in Caldwell until
the cx-Governor started home. The man
who was to place the bomb across the
path hurried after his victim and ob
tained a lead of some 200 yards. The otb
or murderers kept a safe distance behind
He carried a lantern, and at a given pig
nal the man. who had gone in front
stopped, placed the bomb on one side of
the trail. !
The bomb had a piece of wire attached
to It. and this wire was fastened to a
4ake which was pushed into the soft
ground on the other side of the trail.
Unconscious of the terrible fate which
awaited him, cx-Govcrnor Steunenbcrg
walked over the path, and Instead of
striking the wire and setting off the bomb
lie stepped over It.
Off in the distance waited the two men
who had planned this diabolical crime.
When It failed they carefully removed
the bomb and wont back to Caldwell.
JEither Slmpklns or Adams.
It was impossible to learn today wheth
er It was Jack SSmpklns or Steve Adams
who that night was Orchard's -companion.
It Is believed, It was Adams, for a detec
tive dropped a few words, which were
to the effect that while they were anx
ious to get hold of Slmpklns, they had
Adams, who was just as important This
fact has not lessened the efforts to get
Slmpklns.
Today a man named W. Russell came
from Two Rivers, for thje purpose of tell
.ing Governor Gooding that he had played
cards with a man whom he believed to
be Slmpklns. at Two Rivers. Russell says
that tne man appeared to have Just
shaved off a heavy mustache and the
scars jon his face answered the descrip
tion of those on Slmpklns (ace. During
the card game, Russell states, something
was said about detectives being in the
country hunting for ex-Governor Steun
enberg s assassins and as soon as the
talk began the stranger got up and left
the card table and Two Rivers.

June 6, to consider and hear testimony on It is estimated that the new arrange
the two complaints now on Tile before the ! ment will enable the city to furnish

from the milling Interests of Puget Stmd
and the oilier from the fanners and ship
pers of the Palouse country.
It Is understood that the hearing set for
Colfax will be adjourned to the west side
after taking the testimony of the wit
nesses In Eastern Washington.
Today's conference was held at the sug
gestion and at the request of the O. R. fc
X. officials, who arc endeavoring to find a
way of avoiding a Joint-rate order. Their
plan was fully explained to the commis
sion by Mr. Miller. It being. In brief, for
the O. R. & N. Co. to absorb the differ
ential in ocean rates as between the ports
of Portlandand Puget 3ound on foreign
cargoes, jir. .Miner insistod to tne com
mission at today's conference that this
action on the part of his road would en
tirely remove all cause for complain on
the part of the farmers and millers, and
the discrimination being thus removed.
there would remain no further necessity
for a Joint rate or for a hearing on the
joint-rate question.
It was agreed by the commission tlmt. If
the prediction made by Mr. Miller nrovos
true, and If the complainants are satisfied
with conditions existing under the O. It. &
cos plan of absorbing the differential
on ocean freight rates, and withdraw their
complaints, then the proposed joint-rate
hearing at CbrTax Jcic 6 will be aban
doned. It was pointed out to Mr. Miller br the
Commission that as represented to the
board ry the complainants In the Joint
rate case, several other elements enter
Into the question in addition to the dif
ferential on foreign freight rates. It Is
alleged by the complainants, that there
Is often a difference of from 2 cents to
cents a bushel In the price of wheat as.
between Portland and Pucct Sound.
whereas the difference Jn foreign freight
rates is scarcely 1 cent a bushel. It Is
alleged a large percentage of the differ
encc In price Is accounted for by the so-
called millers and exporters combina
tion at Portland, which Is able to operate
practically on Its own terms In O. R. &
N. territory in Eastern Washington.
Another advantage alleged for wheat
buyers In Portland is the difference In
grading as between Oregon and Wash
lngton. there being an arbitrary standard
of 69 pound? to the bushel maintained by
the Portland exporters, while the Wash
ington Stale Grain Commission has fixed
the standard for this state at Zs pounds,
The question of a hearing on the joint-
rate complaint on wheat may now be
said to be up to the complainants in the
case, and the members of the Railroad
Commission, while refusing to be quoted
on the point directly, do not appear to
think that the proposed move of the O. R.
& X. will bring about a withdrawal of
the complaints now on flic.

Only Divergence From Accepted Plan
Mapped Out by the Active

Northern Railroad.
SEATTLE. Wash.. Feb. 2S. (Special.)
W. D. Wheelwright secured from Prince
Tal Tseh a promise today that his party
would return by way of America and rtop
at Portland before It returned to China.
In an Informal Interview with the head
of the Imperial commission Mr. Wheel-
M
Hanford. of Settle. Twin Wo Charlie. Portland. Sherwood GUIesffr.of Seattle
wright was told that the Northern route
delighted the Chinese and that the com
missioners would come back to America.
He pressed then for an answer to Port
land's invitation to visit that city and
was assured the Tsal Tseh party would
call.
Mr. Wheelwright, going to Port Town
send today before tho boat arrived, se
cured a recognition ir Portland no other
movement had obtained. The Great
Northern frame-up as outlined heretofore
preented the commissioners from mak
ing the trip. A slgnlllcant feature of Mr.
Wheelwright's accomplishment Is that the
Hill programme had gone through with
out Interruption up to that time.

terms of the Chinese constitution, would

come back and go home by way of Port
land and Seattle.
Prince Tsal T;h. distantly related- to
the Emperor and really entitled, under
Chinese usage, only to the title of Duke.
Is the court representative of the com
mittee. He heads the party to give it the
diplomatic standing In foreign countries
that China wanted. The real work de
volves upon Shang Chi Hong and LI
Shengtc and the principal attaches of the
party.
The Prince was with the Empress Dow
ager when she was compelled to flee from
Pekin during the Boxer . troubles. He
was at the head of the party which was
ready to take a train at the Pekin depot
several months ago. when a bomb was ex
ploded by a radical faction and Killing
the tool of the conspirators and Injuring
Wu Ting Fang, former Minister to this
country. Prince Tsal Tseh was slightly
wounded In the forehead.
Members of the committee said today
that the Pekin dynamite outrage Is still
a mystery, it nas uecn aaj uiliucu
that the alleged servant who exploded tne
bomb was really one of the conspirators
disguised and smuggled aboard the train
as a personal attendant or tne i-nnce.
Though a rigorous investigation has been
conducted no trace can be found of the
lenders In the conspiracy.
There Is a great deal of gossip among
fellow passengers of the committee to
the effect that Prince Tsal Tseh Is re
garded as the successor of the present
Emperor. According to the Chinese of
the party, this Is merely a pleasing fic
tion. He Is distantly related ana not in
direct line. Moreover, the talk Is re
garded by Chineso as an agitation against
the present government, which they dis
approve, and wnicn tne rnnce naturally
discredits. But that he Is very close to
the Empress Dowager w&s shown when
he was chosen as one of her court to flee
from Pekin.

American Money Foments Boycott.
SEATTLE. Wash.. Feb. 2S. (Special.)
In, an Interview today Y. J. Allen, a mis
sionary 30 years In Shanghai, once with
the government and a publisher on his
own account, said:
"Had It not been for the money con
tributed by the Chinese on this Coast
and elsewhere in America, the boycott
inaugurated by the merchants of China
against American wares would have died
out long ago.
"Money from this country enabled the
boycott committee to keep the agitation
alive. "With money 'earned In America,
placards were distributed and posted
throughout China that fomented trouble.
At first they were a plain statement of
fact. Later they became libellous and
Inaccurate.
The boycott could probably have been
stamped out by the government. The
Viceroy at Tientsin took energetic steps
to stamp out .the agitation, and ne suc
ceeded. He recommended strongly that
this be done. I believe It could have been
done."

Doctors Said Too Old to Be

Years Declares: -
"CUTICURA TREATMENT
IS A BLESSING"
'At all times and to all people I am
willing to testify to the merits of Cu
ticura. It saved me from worse than
the tortures of hades, about the year
1900, with itching on my scalp and
temples, and afterwards it commenced
to break out on my hands. Then it
broke out on my limbs. I was advised
to use salt and water, which I did, to
no effect. I then went to a Surgeon, who
commenced treat in e me with a wash of
borax. This treatment did me no good.
but rather aggravated the disease. 1
then told hima would go and see a phy
sician in Erie. The reply was that I
could go anywhere, but a case of
ecaem&like mine could not be cured;
that I was too old (80). I went to an
eminent doctor in the city of Erie and
treated with him for sis months, with
like results. I had read of the Cu
ticura Remedies often. I was strongly
tempted to give them a trial, so I sent
for the Cuticura Soap, Ointment, and
Resolvent and continued taking the
Resolvent until I had taken six bottles,
stopping it to take the Pills. T was now
getting better. I took two baths a day,
and at night I let the lather of the Soap
dry on. I used the Ointment with
great effect after washing in warm
water, to stop the itching at once. I
am now cured.
"The Cuticura treatment is a blessing
and should be used by every one who
has itching of the skin. I can't say any
more, and thank God that He has given
the world such a curative. You can
use this letter as you please. A very
much befriended man. Wm. H. Gray,

connection, and I am prompted to add a
few notes to the already voluminous bees
wax discussion. The late agitation of tH
matter arises from the recent And by Colonel
Hawkins of a sand nodule which was lm-
oregnated with a waxlike substance that
was mougnt 10 oe oi inc same iw"t'
the Xehalem wax. I have within the last
week examined a portion oC this specimen
and nnd it to be o an entirely different
nature from the Xehalem material. It has
a characteristic resinous odor and yields
turpentine on distillation, which stamps It
as a pitch. The nodule was probably formed
by a stream of molten pitch which poured
from a burning log pile or stump, soaklne
Into the sand beneath and cementing It
Into the form In which it was found.
The matter of the identification of bees
wax or any other kind of wax la a chemical,
not a geological, problem: and. furthermore,
the distinction between beeswax and paraf
flne or oxokerlte Is not one of great diffi
culty. In the first place, beeswax haa .a
characteristic honey-like odor which Is en
tirely wanUng In the mineral waxes. A
freshly cut sample of the Xehalem wax. has
this characteristic aroma well pronounced.
Furthermore, the color, specific gravity and
melting point of the Xehalem wax are In
close agreement with those of genuine bees
wax, and it is plain. In so far as physical
properties go, that tho Xehalem wax was
made by the bee.
From the chemical side the proof Is un
mistakable. True beeswax contains a cer
tain proportion of a fatty acid which Is
capable of neutralizing alkali. In parafflne
and ozokerite this acid is entirely wanting.
I Again, true fceeswax contains a fat which
Is capable of being saponified or converted
Into a soap by an alkali. The mineral waxes
do not admit of this saponification. I have
analyzed a sample of the Xehalem wax side
by side with genuine beeswax, and find they
agree very closely in tne above properties.
Professor Stafford, of the State University,
examined the Xehalem material some years
aro and pronounced It genuine beeswax.
Dr. Dlllard. of the United States Geologlcat
Survey, agrees that It is beeswax. In fact.
have not found any opinion to the con
trary that was based on an analysis of the
substance.
Tho origin of the wax on the Xehalem
beach is an open question, but wnether
washed from a wreck or carried thither
from Inland it is certainly beeswax. Possibly
the letters and hieroglyphics we find en
graved upon It were carved by some ship-
wrecked sailor., who waa traversing the
beach, but, however this may be. they are
Indisputably carved in beeswax.
