MIXED COMMITTEE
The Republicans Withdraw and the DEM
oc-ats Hold the Fort

ocyats Hold the Fort
The Committee on Ordinances is hav-
tough time OF it. On small scale its
organization resrmbled that of the
Second Branch OF Council, on the first
afternoon, with the exception that the
democrats are now holding the fort.
When the committee was appointed it
consisted OF Messrs. Cracraft, Hall,
Kimberly, Schultzs and Walters-six,
with the vacancy To be filled by the
Second Branch. The vacancy was left
With view to filling it with the men,
her who should be seated from the First
ward. 1t required the concurrent &C.
ton Of both Branches to place Mr.. Hab-
eIfield, on the committee and has not
yet been done. So the committee now
consists OF five.
On Monday the committee met and
organized by electing Mr.. Cracraft tenn
porary chairman. Mr.. Schultze was alb.
sent aad Mr.. Walter objected to a per-
manent organization until he was pres.
ent. So matters stood last evening,
when the committee held another SEES
sion. All five were present, but Messrs.
dltcI anu SNuullLc ulu uOt care 10
effect permanent organization at that
time and withdrew. The remaining
three, deeming three a majority OF five
and therefore quorum, proceeded to
organize and elected Mr.. Cracraft chair
man. Various business, OF an unim-
pOrtant nature, was transacted and the
committee adjourned.
A REGISrEs reporter found Messrs.
Sehultzs and Waiter, soon aiterward,
quietly talking prohibitory amendment
and ordinance committee in q good
humored way. 1t appears they do not
support Mr.. Cracraft for chairman, but
all the information that could be obtain
ed from them, was the announcement,
accompanied by a smile, that they chad
the city Solicitor on their side" 1t is
thought the Falstaffian Justice is the
opposition's choice for chairman.

The presentation of the g French Spy" at
Taylor's opera house on Saturday night, the
occasion being the benefit of Joe Dillon, was
witnessed by an immense audience and gave
the greatest satisfaction. The numerous SEN
~sational scenes were admirably done and the
performers were exceptionally well up in
their lines. Joe Dillon, Gus Durham and
John Nutsen gave excellent satisfaction, the
latter's impersonation of female character
being the best piece of that kind of acting yet
seen in Butte. Taylor's theatre always has
something new and is a popular place for the
boys to spend All evening.
