Influential Democratic Politicians and
Their Fine Work.

HELENA (Mont.), December l2th-To-day an
unusual excitement is noticeable around the
room occupied by the Republican Senators in
the Courthouse. The Democratic Senators
were holding conference with the Republican
Senators. After long dispute and discussion,
the Democrats said that on next Monday they
would either be in their seats ready to organize
the Senate, or would resign their positions
Parberry, the Democratic Senator from Meagh-
er county, made short address. in which he
said that the position taken by the Democratic
Senators was uncalled for. and that the step
although bad one, had been forced upon them
by high Democratic politicians.
Later information says that five of the six
Democratic Senators have agreed to meet to-
morrow with the Republicans and organize the
Senate.

THE ILLINOIS CENTRAL.
Rumors That 1t Will Build Westward
Into Oregon.

TACOMA wash, December 12th.-Gentlemen
prominently connected with the Northern Pa
citic Railway at one time received a letter from
the Chief Engineer of the Illinois Central Rail-
way, to-day, asking for the proiles and figures
OF the next best pass through the Cascade
mountains TO the one chosen by the Northern
Pacific; Duplicate plans and prohles were for
warded tonight.
The Illinois Central Railway Company is one
OF the greatest and wealthiest corporations in
America. The stock is mainly owned by Eng
lish capitalists. In recent years they have
shown decided disposition to build another
tTanscontnental railway across the United
States, and with this end in view they have ex-
Falls, in Dakota, their present western terminus.
1t is not likely the company will be content to
let it remain there, but, as has been frequently
intimated in railway circles. they contemplate
an early invasion of the great northwestern
field as lar as the Pacific Ocean.

Figaro says that famous English artist
was once ordered to take down military
picture for exhibition at Windsor. He
did so, and the Queen, on seeing it, at once
remarked that in a certain unimportant
particular one OF the uniforms was incor-
rectly painted. The artist was SO little of
a courtier as to protest respectfully that
he was right, and her Majesty, to convince
him, sent for a specimen soldier from the
guard on duty He came, and an exami-
nation of his coat proved that the artist
was correct. 1t is only fair to add that an
alteration had only recently been made by
the authorities, Of which the Queen was,
apparently, not aware.
