Montana Republicans Talk of Impeachinx '
 the Democratio Governor.
 HELENA, Mont, Nov. 29.-The Re- publican leaders are now consider ing the impeachment of Governor Toole on the ground that without a shadow of authority he hired hall, caused locks to be placed on all the doors and placed guards for the purpose of keeping out the contcsting Republi- cans from Silver Bow, knowing that without these members the Democrats could do as they pleased.
 The leaders have been in consultation with sveral eminent lawyers and be- 1ieve they. have found tho way to get around the Legislature troubles. It is stated that Gov. Toole was not legally empowered to name a place in which the Legislature should assemble; that tho only State officer who possesses such authority is State Auditor Kennev, and that official personally notified the members of the House to meet at another place than that tselected by Gov Toole.
 In lengthy legal opinion the Repub b. licans of the Senate are advised to wal t no longer for the recalcitrant Demo- cratic members, but go ahead with their business.
 The Lieutenant-Governor, the law yers say, in their opinion, must, as the presiding officer. assume the responsi- bility of casting the deciding vote that is necessary to constitute a quorum.
 Lieutenant-Governor Richards says that he believed the suggestion out lined in the opinion is the only solution of the difficulty, and unless the Dem O. crats awaken to their duties he will break the deadlock.
