The Montana case came to an end on
the 10Th of April when Saunders and
Powers the Republican claimants, were
admitted to seats in the Senate by a
party vote. The vote was first taken on
the resolution declaring that Clark and
Maginnis, the Democratic claimants
were not entitled to seats. This was
agreed to by 80 to 19-Messrs. Barbour,
George, Gibson. Kenna and Walitha]l

firmative resolution offered by Mr..
Butler, declaring that there had been no
choice for the United States Senators

declaring Wilbur F. Saunders and TEos.
C. Powers, (Republicans) entitled upon

He says: 1--WE are building extensive
new yards at Orleans street Richmond:
at Gladstone, on the James River divis-
ion: at Clifton Forge; at Hinton; at Up
per Creek, neaF Cannelton; at st. Adams;
at Rushville, KY, opposite Ironton; and
at Covington, KY. All Of these are i'm
portant improvements to the line, as the
average capacity of the yards will be at
least 600 cars. That at Clifton Forge
will be even more extensive. capable of
containing the entire equipment OF the
company Elaborate shops will be built
at Clifton Forge. wilere the mechanical
business Of the road will mainly be con-
Quoted. At Clifton Forge we propose
to build handsome hotel, station and

There will be more capital concentrated
