Ho Hi-it met htm in May last anil went over tho insurrectionary conditions and tho necessity for troops. Tho governor tuld lie rcqurtited General Merrlam to order tho troops to Shcahono county, and ho did ho. When asked who was in supreme command in Shoshono county, Gcnetai Merrlam or nartlett Sinclair, the governor stated that lie himself wns tho rroponslblo head of au- coi-fku hkadaciiks.

Thcro wna no agreement with General Merrlam, said tho governor, that tho labor organiza tions wero to bo broken up, nor was thero nny talk of suppre3lng them. Tho governor again went over his trips to Washington, his call on tho president and tho brief talk with Mr. McKlnley. Questioned as to what tho president said, Governor StennenberK replied that the presi dent listened to tho brief recital of the con ditions nnd tho need of tho presence of troops, but mado no reply. The governor was nl!0 examined as to calls on Secretary Hoot, and said tho latter Intended to with draw tho troops from guard duty on Oc tober 20. The governor called to protest against this. Ho found that tho secretary was (iiiito determined to withdraw the troops, an order to this effect having been lrsued nnd most of tho Eovcrnor'n efforts wero di rected to showing to tho military authorities that tho troops should not ho withdrawn. Tho withdrawal was finally postponed. TrmiiiN Soul on (io eriior'n full. The governor denied that thcro wna any talk of polltlca In connection with tho po.it ponoment. Ho told the secretary there was no njllltln nvallable and not Ritmclcnt time to ralso n locnl guard before tho troops wero to lx withdrawn, and these representations I brought about tho postponement. At present tho troops wero not on guard, but wero In garrison. Further questioned ns to calls on tho president, tho governor sold that tho president told 0110 of tho delegations that ho had ncteil as an official, Bonding trooro on tho governor's call, and that any other co 11 run would not havo boon n compliance with his sworn duty. I nun .nr. .-111 u er reierreu 10 mo "reign 01 terror you Inaugurated" Governor Steunen- berg answered emphatically! "I did not Inaugurate a reign of terror. It was there before l got there, and hao ex isted thero for tho Inst seven years." Ho said further to Mr. Lents: "1 know that county has boon n hell on eanh the last ten years." Itopresntatlve Dick opened the redirect evidence when tho cross-quostlonlns hn ' closed. Ho said ho was sorrv that politics had been brought Into the Inquiry, but as this had occurred, ho would pursue that course to some extent. Ho asked Governor Steunenberg na to reports of his coming with Senator Hanna or Mr nick, to which tho governor replied that he hd nover seen either of them until ho camo to Washington. Tho governor said he was elected 11s a democrat In 1890 and ISItS. "Did you support Mr. llryan?" asked Mr. Dick. "I did." "Would you support him again?" "Most ntsurcdly; If ha Is nominated again I will support him by all means." Mr. Hick asked If Mr. Ilrynn had ever written or expressed any protest or disap proval of tho governor's course, ,loUi l) l.ealx, Mr. Sulzcr nnd Mr. I.entz protested nnd Mr. Hay of Virginia objected on tho ground that Mr. Hryan was not president. "Hut ho will bo soon," remarked Mr. I.cntz, who added that Mr. Llryan would not declare martial law. The committee voted to allow the ques tion as to whether Mr. llryan lud pro tested, nnd Governor Steunonberg said ho had nover heard from Mr. Hryan In protest or otherwise. "Has any prospective presidential candi date on tho democratic ticket protested to you?" nsked Mr. Dick, timid much laugh ter, directed toward Mr. Sulzcr. Tho governor said thcro had been no such protest, Tho Inquiry wns then directed to show ing ttiu circumstances under which tho governor had called for troops. At noon tho committee took n recess until 2 p. m. Governor Stcunenberg's closing statement of tho day attracted ranch attention for Its vivid recital of n berlcs of lawless depre dations In tho Coeur d'Alcnes, which, ho snld, had spread through the community. Ho stated that tho house uf the Judge of tho First district. Judge Mayhew, had beon entered tit night by an armed and masked man, who wanted to know how a ruling of tho court was to be made. On another oc casion an armed mob waited 011 a Judge and told him ho "had better rule right."
