LINCOLN, Ncb.. Jan. 9.-The dispute
between the speaker of the house and
Lieut. Gov. Meikeljohn, as to which is
empowered to nou the results of
the election in joint assembly, has be-
come serious. All the doors of the rep
rcscntativc hall were closely guarded
during the morning, and none but mem
bcrs of the legislature, state officers and
persons having business inside, were adj
mittcd. All members were on hand
promptly, although they found great
difficulty i'll pushing their way through
the crowds that filled the corridors and
besieged the capitol at all points. The
Alliance members had taken possession
of the house at 5 o'clock in the morning.
They placed the speaker in the chair
and put Il Gordon of assistant scrgeants-
alarms around him. Lieutenant Gov
ernor Meikeljohn got i'll through the
order of ejectment, but
He Defcd the Officer
and was not taken into custody. Both
sides had Il force of sergcants-at-arms
within call, and any attempt ON either
side to proceed with the INV would
have prccipitatcd Il row. To avoid this
a committee from each party was sent
with Il statement of the case to the SILL
preme court. and the house waited in
suspense for a decision as to which Off
Ger has the constitutional right to pre-
| side. Fifty OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES have been
appointed, and thousands of people be
siege the doors. MI. Boyd's inangura-
ton during the day is very doubtful.
| Governor Thayer has called out the mil
itia to suppress the disturbance ut the

Our school board has m important
duty to perform in locating Il new site
for the Dickinson public school
building which is to be erected next
spring. Looking forward to the needs
of two or three years hence, Il block
would not seem like too much land to
be included in the purchase. a COM
manding location is desirable and II
that is not likely to be hemmcd in by
business blocks. Some have suggest
ell the head of Barnes or IIanaford
streets as Il desirable place, the land
being comparatively cheap at present
and somewhat back from the business
and residence portion Of the town;
others have spoken of IL location in
the northeastern part of the town rs
a desirable site.

A ,AREE-coRNERED AFFAIR.
The Montana Legislature Organizes Tu

The Montana Legislature Organizes TIVE
Houses, the Same as Last Year.
HELENA, Mont, Jan. 6.-The date set
for the meeting of the state legislature,
has arrived, and three bodies Of men
met in as many different places and or
ganized three branches of the Montana
legislature. In the senate it was all
easy sailing, as the body stands ten
Democrats and six Republicans. Rut
the trouble over the members from Sill
Yer Bow county remains just as it did
last year. Twenty-nine Republicans
met in the hall when State Auditor Kin
ney called the roll, in which
he included the five Republican
contestants from Silver Bow county.
All the Democratic members
of the house, including the five Demo-
cratic contestants +. ON Silver Bow, met
in another hall and organized by electing
Harry Comley speaker and Il full list Of
officers.
Recognized the Democratic House.
Just after noon the committee from
the Democratic house waited on the SEN
ate and governor with the information
that the house OF representatives had Or
gained and was ready for business,
Governor Toole and the senate each rec
ognized this organization.
The Republican house also sent a mes
sage to the senate that it had organized
and was ready for business. The mes
sage, by Il vote Of 10 to g., was rejected,
and the clerk was directed to make no
note of it on his minutes.
AS the matter stands now the dead
lock is as complete as it was last year,
when not a law IA passed. AS the
Democrats have the senate and the gov
ernor this year. where last year the SEN
ate was Il tie, they rather have the best
of it now: but if the matter goes to the
supreme court, as it will undoubtedly
do, and if that body follows the proceed.
ent set last year, it will decide in favor
of the legality of the Republican house.

Measure Is DooEred-Gcncrally Con-
Neutrality-suspicious. Eoings.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-The Republican
members of the senate to the number of
twenty-seven met at the residence of
Senator Stockbridge to discuss the SEN
ate programme. on account of the action
of the silver senators i'll voting with the
Democrats to lay aside the election bill
and take up the financial bill. 1t was
called for the purpose of determining
whether the senate should attempt to
"sit out" the election bill under the ex-
listing rules or adopt new rules and put
it through. The action of the senate in
laying the election bill aside was unex-
pected. 1t seemed so positive and final
that MI. Hoar stated to ~ brother Re-
publican during the afternoon that the
Election Bill Was Dead.
This feeling got abroad in the senate
and destroyed the interest in the III
1t was so small that all formali:y was
laid aside and the conference split up
into little groups of senators who dis
cusscd the situation with each other.
The general impression prevailed that
the financial bill would have to be dis
posed of before anything else could be
taken up.
Silver Senators Insisted.
The silver senator's, several of whom
were present, insisted Oh this and it was
agreed informally to continue discussion
of the bill and to try and pass
it as soon as possible under existing
rules. 1t was generally conceded that
the free coinage amendment of Senator
Stewart, OF something like it. would
prevail. 1t was suggested that the Dem
ocratic senators, in order to prevent the
consideration of the election hill. would
prolong the discussion of the financial
bill. 1t this event. it was said. it would
be necessary to adopt the closure rule.
When the necessity for this appears
another caucus will be called. The eau
Gus broke up at 10 o'clock.
The house passed the senate bill for
the relief of the s,,.eties Of George w.
Houk, of California; bill tn limit and

anne on both sides of their bows. Mr..

sion the bill was passed.
