Doohttle, Miles C Moore and ihomas Jawing, maiia gers of Judge Calkins late cam paign, to-day issued a manifesto denouncing the charge of bribery by Metcaite as an act ot infamy the pernicious effects of which were felt upon some members of the legislature.

At least an effort will be made to oust lain. and it has been suggested that he resign before the storm bursts rims far Metcalfe has produced no corroborative evidence, and the case is still a question of veracity between the accuser and the ac. cused. It is likely that the in vestigation will cost the state be tween $3000 and 5000. The committee was instructed to go to bpokane rails to take testimony. DREW THE COLOR LINE.

Prince Baudouin, nephew of King Leo pold and heir to the throne of Belgium, died this morning. The cause is alleged to be bronchitis. The death has caused a tremend ous sensation and creates constern ation in all classes. All sorts of rumors are in circulation, as the public was unaware that tbe prince was ill. Most alarming rumors are circu lated on all sides and grow as the day progresses. It is openly as serted that the death of the prince was a reietition of the circum stances surrounding the death of Archduke Rudolph, heir to tbe Austrain throne who met death in a mvs'criuus manner January 30, 18S!. It is added that a beauti ful Gennan governess who has been recently banished from the Belgian court, by order of King Leopold, is in some way connected with the dea'.h of Prince Baudouin. Kumor also has it that there was an intrigue between the governess and the prince and the result of the liason is said to have been the birth of a child. In any case, the leath of Prince Baudouin is sur rounded by mystery and specula tion. The court physicians, in the death certificate, announced that death was caused by hem orrhages following a severe at tack of bronchitis. But these statements are far from convincing the people of the real cause of the leath of rn nee liaudouin, and the start'.ing rumors already referred to are popularly believed to be founded on solid basis.
