WASHINGTON, March 30. Governor Steu
Iicnbcrg resumed IiIh testimony ut tlio Cooitr
d'Alono Investigation today, Mr. Sulzer con
ducting tho cross-examination. Tho gov
ernor rotated his various tnlks with General
Jlerrlatn. 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.
Seventeen i'iirk' Kierlcnce.
"When i'catum Cereal Coffee first cumo
nut' 1 was glad to begin tho
uno of it and stop coffeo, for I
had long bcon convinced that my sick head
lichen (from which I had sintered for 17
years) wero caused more or Icsh, by coffeo
drinking., Tho headaches vanished like
mnglo. after tho use. of I'nstum was begun
nnd I can truthfully hay that the; first box
of I'ostum Cereal Coffeo did mo more
gco.l than all tho headache ponders and
other elirds for that disease that I had
taken throughout tho wholo 17 yours of suf
fering. "Naturally, I am absolutely certain that
mjr headaches resulted directly from thn-twj
of coffee. You can mm my testimonial, but
imoMu no; usp uny namo In public."

thorlty, nlthough ho did not exercise any
control or command of tbi troops. 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that tho troops should not ho withdrawn.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." The
governor said fifty citizens had told him
that their lives would be worth nothing If
It became known that they had disclosed
nets of lawlcstmoeH which had occurred.
At .1 o'clock tho committee adjourned until

at tho first-class nostolllces throuchout tho
i country, which took place In tho thirty-five
days from October 3 to November fl, 1890,
hns Just bcon received In Omaha.
The report Is Interesting In showing the
nmount of mall passing through the various
offices, with its character. In tho nmount
of mall originating ut the offices of the
country Omaha stands twenty-third In tho
list of 17.") offices, with a totul of tSO.SOi",

This total is mado up of 28,856 pounds of

131 pounds of secnnd-clnss matter, 39,316
pounds of third and fourth-class matter,
3,343 pounds of government free matter and
101, 3S! pounds of equipment.
Another Interesting phnso of tho subject
Is u comparison of tho free and paid matter
carried In the different states. Nobraskn Is
above tho avcrago In tho matter of paying
for the mall which originates within Its
boundaries, pnylng for 45.C7 per rent of It,
while Kansas puy for only 23.01 per rent,
und the Indian territory pays tho smallcjt
per cent, Its paid snail being only 1 1.96 per
