HELENA, Jan. s.-The senate was aga n
the seat of interest and amusement to-
day, the old firc-eating senator from def
ferson county being largely responsible
for the latter. When the senate met at
noon only the e ght republicans answered
to- the roll. Fisher arose and moved n call
of the house. This being accepted the
scrgeant-at-arms was directed to bring i'm
the missing democrats. He first went to
the executive chamber, where he found
senator Parberry convcrsing with the gov
sritor, and senator Maginnis. senator
Parhcrry said that he would not go with
out better authority. This advice was sec
ondcd 10y Senator Maginnis. The sergeant
returned and reported Parberry's refusal.
add ng that Naginnis had said some
thing i'm connection with the case.
This moved old Fisher to- de-
liver himself of the most inccndiary
speech of the season. He began 10y de-
nouncing Maginnis as AN Irish revolution
list, following up this with a ,ir.,de of dis
ptsting abuse against the Irish race and
the democratic party. He spared no
words until his limited vocabulary was
exhausted. The speech thoroughly sick
encd every one present.
In the afternoon. Fisher made "a poor
apology for his speech. The scraeant-at-
arms again went out and returned with
the report that he could not find Becker
and Baker, that Thornton, HenncsSy and
Mcnamara out of town and that
| was dispensed with until 3'clock, when il
was again ordered and the sergeant sent
out. The first man arrested was Senator
Rutherford whose absence excused
by the senate. Senator Baker was
| brought i'm after long wait and
his absence was also excused, though
he had no excuses to offcr. The senate
| then enjoyed another tircsomc wait while
the sergeant went out to- find Parbcrry.
| whom he finally found and brought to the
bar of the senate. A lively tilt followed,
| when Parberry was asked to give cx-
cuse for his absence. He said that lie was
| arrested under no authority because the.
senate was acting under no rules. The
| senator's absence was finally excused.
An executive communication was then
read by the clerk. IL was simply an item
izet list of expenditures for the various
departments for which appropriations
would be necessary. The senate then All
| journcd until 10 O'Clock tomorrow morn
ing. The democrats will probably he
| present At to-norrow's session.
| Nothing was done in the house to-day
| beyond the reading of the same commu-
| nication that was presented To the senate.
| Several members were granted leaves ot
absence and an adjournment was taken
until tomorrow at y. m.
In the rlunp house several notices were
given for the Introduction of bills and Il
few minor matters were discussed.
| The secretary of state has refused to AT
tach the state seal to the cert ficatcs ot
Senators Clark and Maginnis. They will
consequently bc taken without this ac'
compartment. The only credentials to

certified copies of the minutes of their so
called election. All four will leave foI
