FOX RESIGNS.
His Place Goes to Pierce County
Man.


Enrolling Clcrk Fox did not give the
house an opportunity to dismiss him for
drunkenness. He saw the handwriting
on the wall, and this morning he very
wisely rendered his resignation. Ittook
six ballots to decide upon his successor.
The lucky aspirant was j. &. Murphy OF
Tacoma, whose candidacy was urged on
the ssereotypcd ground that Pierce
county, though having the largest pop
ulation oi any county in the state, had
been totally ignored In the distribution
of state offices and United States soma
torships and such trifics, and was there
fore entitled to something, II II
was only the enrolling clerkship.

AT LOGaERHEADs.
The House and the Senate Having n
Little Tilt.

The senate and tho house are at log
gerheads When the repor. of the joint
committee on salaries was submitted n
few days ago the senate adopted it with
out change, but the house raised the
salaries of several OF its employees. The
senate refused TO concur in the amend
mcnts, and Senators Hyde, Fair
weather and Wolfe were appointed n
commit tee oil conference.
A discussion arose in tho house when
the non-concurrcnce was reported this
afternoon. Herrin held that the house
had the authority to Tx the pay OF its
employees regardless of what the senate
did. Judson of Pierce took the opposite
view. Herrin, Geoghogan and Mclteavy
were designated to confer with the sena-
tors.
The house played lack at the senate
this afternoon by refusing to concur in
it's amendment TO the joint rules making
the committee ON claims joint stand

jected the housc's request 10 rcscind its
amendment, and appointed Baker,
Hunsnker and Landes committee ol
