DECLINE To DIVIDE.
Montana Democrats Refuse TO

Montana Democrats Refuse to

ship.
Special to the Globe
HELENA, Mont, Dec. 4.-The Re-
publicans have finally come to the con-
clusiOn that it is useless to try and
effect any compromise with Democrats
which looks to a division of the sem
atOrships between the two parties. On
Monday it looked much as though such
an arrangement might be effected, but
the great body of the Democrats here
have spoken against it in such
an unmistakahJe manner, that any
man who should advocate it now
would commit political suicide. The
fight between Power, Hershfield and
Sanders. the Republican bosses, is the
only stirring event in the political sit
uation now, and the Democrats are
narrowly watching it, well knowing
that the result will be that some of the
Republican members of the house will
soon become disguSted, and break away
and join the Democrats. One of the
most serious phases of the legislative
deadlock is the fact that the supreme
court cannot meet until the legislature
organizes and passes a law fix
ing dates for the sessions of
court. Silver Bow county is now
without any court higher than
that of a justice of the peace. though it
has had district judges. Mediation, who
was elected by the tunnel precinct
voters. and Hamilton, who carries a
state commission boards certificate.
There are a great many cases on the
calender in Silver Bow county, some Of
them being of great importance. A
number have been settled out of court,
but a large majority are yet pending.
LitigantS will not 20 before either
judge, fearing that when the supreme
court meets,the one who presided at the
trial may be ousted. In addition to large
civil docket there are TWO murder cases,
the attOrnevsi in which do not know how
to get around the muddle. The only
people who do not appear to mind the
legal deadlock are those applying for
divorces. who have taken their cases to
other counties. where the mill is in run
ming order. This county is getting a
large share of this business, there being
fOrty-three on the present calendar.
Neither OF the two houses or the senate
transacted any business to-day. The
Republicans held a caucus, but after
four hours discussion adjourned with
out determining on any plan of action.

Attorney Donohue Talks on Be-
half of O'Sullivan and kunZe.
CHICAGO, Dec. 4.-When the court
opened this morning in the Cronin mur-
der case Attorney Donohue began his
argument for the defense. Mr.. DOno-
hue announced that he would devote
his speech almost exclusively to the
phases of the case relating to his clients,
o Sullivan!oand Kunze. He began his
address by saying that he felt he was
addressing the jury in behalf of innO-
cent men, and that he would do the
best he could in their defense. The
counsel then described how he had been
retained to defend O'Sullivan. and said
he had never heard of the man until he
was informed of him by Mike Whalen,
and never saw him until he visited him
in Jail. He told how he had been ap-
pointed by the court TO defend KunZe,
from Kunze or his friends for his de-
fense. Mr.. Donohue took up the defense
of Kuuze and attacked the testimony
of young James and questioned its
credibiity. The speaker took up again
the dubiousneSs of identificatiOns, en-
larged on the cases in his recollection
and quoted from books to complete his
illustration. He then referred to Mertes'
and James testimony about their see
ing KunZe at III Clark street and at the
gate of the Carlson cottage, and said
that to think such testimony was
worthy of serious consideration was
absurd. Mr.. Donahue next took up the
questions of reasonable doubt and cir
cumstantial evidence, and said the
latter should be handled very gingerly,
OF oil
speaker did not deny its existence, but
claimed that unless it had been proved
that O'Sullivan, in making the contract,
had done so with criminal intent. the
fact had no significance. He thought
the state had so failed to prove. In
closing, Mr.. Donahue besought the jury
to deaI justly with his clients. and that
if the name of Alexander Sullivan had
ever prejudiced them in any manner,
not to let that prejudice influence their
minds in arriving at their verdict.
Court then adjourned till tomorrow.

were introduced. The terms of the su-

Cormick introduced bill providing for
the designation of place of deposit for

ing the legal rate of interest at z per

10 per cent only when agreed upon.
Also 70 lower the interest on tax sale
certificates from 80 per cent to 12. A
bill was introduced in the house reduc-
ing it to Is per cent. There is a strong
desire on the part of many to abolish
the grand jury system, and Representa-
tive LutZ to-day called for the appoint
ment of committee to prepare a bill,
but the matter was referred to the ju-
dietary committee. A bill was intro

duced changing the time when taxes
shall become delinquent from February
to June, providing for the insurance of
crops against hail, the county to pay
the damages, provided it adopts the
law. 1t provides for tax of not more
than 25 cents per acre, TO be used as a
hail insurance fund, the appointment of
hail adjuster and the D ,yment of not
more than $40 nor less than S. per acre

be bitterly opposed by the railroads is
that which cOmpels them to permit the
building of grain elevators or ware
houses on their side tracks at a rental of
81 per year for the site, and furnish
cars when demanded by the owner of
the house. and fines the railroad $500
for each violation of this law, which is
demanded by the Farmers alliance, and
will probably pass.

A new party is coming to the front
among the Indians and new class OF
leaders among them. There are two
factions - the scout party, that
wants the indemnity money paid
TO them and their children. and
the other that wants it paid to the peo-
pie at large. Lawyer SanbOrn, OF ST.
Paul, is working in the interest OF the
farmers. and Hon. A. CrOssfleld, OF
Browns Valley, is cooperating with
the commission as adviser in legal mat
tiers. Al noon to-day the Peoples
party, so called. met the commission
in council about third as large as that
of yesterday. 1t is evidently growing
force. Gen. WhitIleSY outlined the sub
stance of the paper drawn up for sigma
lures, and the responses were cordial.
He demonstrated how generous the gov
ernment had been TO them, and what
they would receive if the government
accepted the proposition. The Indians
asked that the proposition be trans
lated into Dakota, and they would con-
slider 1t and meet in general council
again as soon as soon as practicable.

Area of Public Lands

WASHINGTON. d. C., Dec. 4.-Senator

posal of all the public lands in the
United States in California, Oregon,
Colorado, Nevada, Washington, Mon
tana. North and South Dakota and in

states and eventual states in which the
lands lie, OH condition that the states
shall convey not more than eighty acres,
susceptible of remunerative irrigation,

elect to sell the lands, the proceeds
shall be used for the construction and
maintenance of reservoirs, bitches and
other works for the irrigation of such of
the lands as may be made remuner-

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. seeking SOhc Ot

WASHINGTON, Dec. "A little talk
has been heard on the probabilities for
committee appointments. though Mr..
Reeds mind is a blank upon the sub
ject, so ne says. The men from Mime
sofa who supported him are expected to
get some of the plums. Carter, of Mon
tana. is almost certain TO get a good
craftsmanship as he worked hard from
the start for Reed. The Northwestern
members will ask for representation on
the committees on mines, public lands,
coinage and Indian affairs, but will be
modest in their demands, so many of
them being new men. The question Of
irrigation will be brought up at an early
date. MAJ. Powell has not yet filed his
report, but it is understood that he will
recommend thorough survey of the
arid lands by the government, that
they be decided under certain conditions
to the states in which they lie and that
inducements be offered to settlers who
would be granted the right to use all
reservoir water for a nominal rental.
This would, of course, involve the
building of storage reservoirs at various
points. 1t is understood that the mem-
bers from the states within which these
lands are, approve of the general out
line of Mai. POwelFS report.

ieta Varillo, and with her husband and
her father demanded the payment of a

led to shooting affray. The daughter
of the murdered woman says that OH the
refusal Of her mother, Antonieta Var
lilo, to pay the money, the woman and
the two men opened fire with separate
revOlvers. firing over ten shots. Anton
ieta Varillo was killed instantly. Maria
Gerese was wounded in the arm, and
Petronilla PerisO was hit in the shOul-
der. The men then fed from the room,
down the narrow stairs and out into the
street. The woman was arrested.

the shooting. was seen in her cell before
she was taken to the ToOmbs. She is
very large, and looks like an American,
but she can speak no English. The
murdered woman was shot through the

STRIKE OFF THE CHAINS.
An Endeavor to Better the Con-

BERLIN, Dee. 4.-In the reichstag to-
day, Herr Bartha. progresSist, moved to
repeal the provision of law compelling
miners seeking employment to be
provided with certificate showing
the length of time they had been
employed in their last place. and the
previous employers opinion of their
capacity. These documents are part of
the ancient system under which the or
dinary workingman was practically a
slave with moral right to choose his
master. They are the German eQuiva-
lent for the IivretS which were
abolished in France during the third
empire. Herr B0etticher replied that
the government could not act on point
of this nature until it should be in
possession of the report of the commits
sion appointed to inquire into the
causes and merits of the recent strike.
DIR. WindthOrSt and Herr Baum
bauch urged the gravity of the
situation at Essen, and the necessity
that the owners and the miners should
agree upon the question of lockout
before Sunday next. The discussion
was adjourned. The committee on the
socialist bill has rejected the paragraph
on expulsion. The government had de-
clared that this paragraph was an indiS-
penSabIe part of the bill.
