INHARMONIOUS.
Silver Bow Democrats Still Hold
Their Own.


Their Own.
Special to the Globe.
HELENA, Mont, Jan. 14.-The men,
bers of the Democratic house in caucus
to-day refused to accede to the propo-
sition of the Republicans to meet as one
body on basis of twenty-five to twenty
five. The answer sent to the Republi-
cans says:
''Democrats heartily accord with the sug-
gestions relating to existing evils and annoy
ances arising through lack of legislation,
but suggest that the danger intimated is
purely imaginary. There are now organized,
and in active legislative action, senate and
house of representatives. each organizing the
other and both organized by the COVER
nor. From the house you gentlemen
see fit 20 absent yourselves. Members OF this
caucus have taken the oath of Office as men,
bers of the house, have entered on the dis
charge OF their duties and propose speedily TO
enact just and well-considered laws TO allevi-
ate grievances you enumerate. In this task
we would appreciate and be gratified TO re-
ceiye and profit by your cooperation and as
sistance.''
This means that the Democrats will
only listen to a proposition involving
unconditional surrender by the Repub-
licans of their claims to five seats from
Silver Bow county. This action does
not meet with the unanimous approval
of the Democrats of the state, and sew
eral influential papers of that party al
ready have taken strong grounds in
1avOr of compromise offered by Re-
publicans or some other OH similar
basis. The talk now is of the Re-
publicans applying to the courts
for a mandamus compelling the
senate to recognize their house
and in case of receiving communica-
tionS from the Democratic house. If
this course is taken the legislative sit
uation will be still more muddled. The
Democrats now propose to go ahead
and pass laws and take chances on the
supreme court not declaring them un-
constitutional. In that case the Repub-
lican house will adjourn and 60 home.
The Democratic majority in the senate
took steps to wipe out thousands of dol
lars OF fines imposed on the h0ld-over
members of that party last session for
non-attendance during the deadlock
and the squabble over the election of
United States senators. A resolution
was adopted by strict party vote ap-
pointing commissioner to examine the
records Of last session and report any
plan they see fit. The records show
that only five Republicans were present
In the senate when the fines were i'm
posed. four less than quorum. The
committee will, probably, report in
favor OF remitting fines, on the ground
OF being Illegally imposed. The total Of
fines imposed amounted to $4,000.
In special session tonight the senate

which remained oblivious of the condi
tion of the man.
Great Excitement.

Fitzsimmons was excellently cared for
by his friends, and he was pulled down
to weight There was the utmost ex-
element when the moment for the bat
tie arrived. Everybody was on the
tender hooks of expectation when FitZ-
simmons, with all Overcoat on, came to
the ring. The Australian looked thin
and wan, but as he threw off his
coat he seemed to tower magnificent
specimen of manhood. FitZsimmonS
stood on the scales and weighed 1919
and then went to his corner. Shortly
after DemSey came in, and it isn't to be
doubted that the crowd was with the
Nonpareil. Dempsey seemed to be
perfectly confident. He wore
heavy overcoat, light slippers
and black trunks, and was in beautiful
condition. When the two men were
sized up Dempsey looked the finer of
the two III so far as condition was con-
cerned, but FitZsimmons lowered over
him. There was really no occasion at
any time for the audience to find fault
with the referee, because no fine points
for decision were brought up. There
was not the slightest disorder, and long
before the battle was decided the
Dempsey people gave up and demanded
that Jack should
InfOW up the sponge.
Dempsey was really never in the
fight. Fitzsimmons punished him from
the start to the finish, and in the fourth
round Dempsey began to bleed and be-
came groggy. Notwithstanding the fact
that he appeared and was known
to be overdrawn, FitZsimmon5
fought magniticently, and so did
Dempsey. There was never a
pluckier contest in the ring
than the one tonight. Dempsey was
licked from the start, but he did his best
to win. In the sixth round Dempsey's
friends realized that the NOnpareil had
lost, and when Dempsey went to his
corner his faithful seconds were also
cOgniZant of the fact. A well-known
Boston sporting man, who had wagered
big money OH Jack, at this moment
threw up his hands and begged
the seconds to stop the fight. But
whatever may be said, Dempsey was
plucky throughout. In the tenth round
Fitzsimmons picked him up, after bav-
ing knocked him down, and said:
Jack, you are whipped, l can't hit
you" Dempsey wouldn't be downed
and insisted upon fighting. Fitzsim-
mons after that didn't want to hit
Dempse y, but the latter insisted, and he
was finally Strengthened out on the
floor. A prominent New Orleans poll
tician won $4,000 on the fight.

few minutes later. Dempsey offered to
wager $1,000, which was accepted by
Maj. Frank Mclaughlin, the millionaire
director of the California Athletic club,
but the Olympic club officials refused to
allow the bet to go and it was called off.

Wisconsin parents are not unmindful
of the duty they owe their offspring, and
he recommends tho unconditional re-

the law as an infractiOn of parental

we're terms upon the practice OF state
treasurers, wherein they have loaned out
the states money and put the interest
received from such deposits into their
own pockets. He asks the legis-
lature to devise some law by which this
money may be placed in banks within

treasurer. The Cooper election law is
praised AS 4 wise measure, which will
