The State Legislature Organizes
at Helena on the Pattern of
Last Winter with Two
Lower Houses.
A Democratic Governor and a
Democratic Senate Recognize
the Democratic House on
PurelyPartisan Principles.
Another Muddle

HELENA, Jan. 5.-(Special to YELL
LowsToNE JoURNAL). The legislature
Of the great state of Montana met at
noon today. Anticipation that there
m ght be a peaceful and legal solution
If the difficulties that environed the
first meeting q the body were shat
tered by the immediate branching off
OF the democratic side of the lower
house, who orgarized by themselve-.
This left no other course for the repub
licans to follow but do likewise, 30 that
the legislative assemblage now con-
slsts. as it did last year, OF a. senate
and two lower houses. Lieut.. Gov.
Richards presided over the senate.
The republican house elected A. g..
witter speaker, aud the rump demo
ciats conferred like honor on Harry
r. Comfy. The senate and his excel
lency, Joseph X. TOOle, made haste to
recognizs the democratic house. From
all that can be learned here it is evil
dsnt that the democrats will proceed
to make laws and ignore the republi-
cans entirely, but should they do so,
/ -. in - S.,,.. ~. 4. o,aafloT, rafaad
as to the legality Of those laws. 1t ia
confidently expected that the state
officials will refuse to obey them, and
should they require any stifening oI
legal backing, they will be promptly
mandamus sed to that effect. While
everything here has q decidedly demo
cratic hue tonight, the future is still
big with uncertainty. A cOmpromis'
Is stIll talked Of and IL is by no mean
impns sIbIe that 1t might be reached
though on what conditions no one car
say. The imperative need Of legisla
ton that will stand the approval Of th'
supreme court may yet, It is thought
induce the warning factions OF th
two lower houses tG come together
The next few days will probably de
eide the matter, and one moving caus
TO that end gill be the fact that th
members Of the democratic house wi
want their pay, and as there does nc
seem to be al y disposition this year o
the part Of leading democrats to pV
up for them, the compensation mu
come from the state.

Fortune. OuiekIr Made.

A fnan came into the editorial room
today and broke everybody up with
this story: Several years ago a pay
master in the United States army in
vested 5000 in a piece of ground in
Spokane Falls The other day he sold
it for S54, 900. The excitement that
greeted this story had scarcely died
away, and the boys in the room were
tanning each other and cutting each
others hair to cool their skulls, when
another man came in and told this
story: In 1882 a Pennsylvania went
to Denver, and when he landed he had
enough to Guy a tent and few mining
tools. He went prospecting, made
| little money and then went back 10
Denver and bought real estate. Today
he is worth q. .O6o, 900. The only sound
that greeted this story was a succe@ion
of dull thuds as men dropped TO the
A0aE
There was hiatus of haff q npur.
when another man came In and saidhs
had Just heard Of a young man in ons
! of the mushroom towns Of Virginia wis
had invested little money in real e
tate right after breakfast, and when he
sat down to dinner had cleaned up
q, 900 ON his purchase. There are
three half crazy men in this once
Whenever a man comes into the edf
torial room he is asked before he gees
warm: How much did the feliOw
maker Then he tells his little story
and goes out. leaving the boys just a.

PINE RIDGE AGENCY IS. D., Jan. g.
Twenty-one of the wounded soldiers
will be taken 20 Fort River, Kansas,
tomorrow night by special train.
There have been no new Developments
today regarding the hosules, except
that old Red Cloud tried to slip away
from them and return to the agency.
When the fact was discovered by the
hosiilCs they shot all his ponies, placed
guard over the old chief and moved
several miles further from here. This
last move places their main camp but
a few miles from the bad lands, but the
warriors, according to reports Of the
scouts, keep circli9g within ten miles
Of here all the time. IL is considered
among the possibilities that a par }

counter trouble with hostile scout

NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-CAreful esti-

ne total los at 1867 900 and the insur-
ancs at more than half. Never In the
history of the fire department were the

such fierce flames. Prof. Hermann
SAYS the fire started in the "super's"
room of the Fifth Avenue theatre.
Hermann's theatre was given up for

not badly damaged after all. The
greatest loss to it was by water, and
that will not exceed $25 900. Arunol

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Sept le-It has
been said in general business and grain
circles that the last million copies of
the ''hold your wheat" circulars are
being circulated at the expense
of the Minneapolis mills The
document is being sent out

enough TO circulate 100, 900 copies Col.
s. II. Graves, of Duluth, one of the
largest elevator owners in the west, did
not hesitate to say last evening that
the circular is inspired by clique of
spectators.
When the matter was called to the
attention OF Ignatius Donnelly, presi-
dent Of the Minnesota alliance, he said
that the alliance had nothing to do
with the circulars, which, however.
have the approval OF what is known as
the reform press association at Wash
ington, although that association is
not paying the bills.
The managers OF the elevators all
charge the mills with paying the bills
for sending out the circulars Some Of
them even go so far rs TO charge Charles

syndicate mills, with the authorship of

TO HOLD WHEAT.
An Alliance Circular Advising Farmers to
Hold For sI.5O "a Bushel.


Hold For s1.5O "a IIushel
ST. PAUL. Mimi. Sept The chiefs
OF the Farmers Alliance made another
Sensational move to-day by issuing l.,
DOO, 900 circular letters TO wheat-grow-
crs Of Minnesota. North Dakota and
South Dakota, calling a halt in the mad
rush Of grain to the market, which has
been going on the past fortnight.
Wheat has been sold and delivered to
the railroads so fast that they have been
unable 10 haul il all. and the receipts
at the elevators at Duluth and Min
ncapolis arc running from 600 TO 1000
cars day. This unprecedented move
mcnt of grain has had a depressing
effect on the market At the close Sat
yurday afternoon in Minneapolis the
price Of December wheat was 90 &C, a
drop of nearly Toe a bushel in two
weeks. In consultation at the
office of Editor Muller, of the news
paper, the State, IL was the general
opinion that unless the farmers discon-
time their insane rush" to realize,
wheat would soon be selling at soc.
To-day's letter TO the farmers is in
tended as an eye-opener on the situa-
tion. and the alliance men expect IT TO
result in farmers storing their grain in
anticipation of better prices in the next
two or three weeks The letter claims
that IL will be worth 81, 200, 900 TO the
farmers to hold their grain month.
The newspapers are charged with
being in league with the spectators
and millers to depress prices 1t is
stated that Europe is short 67s, 0O0, 900
bushels, which is more than four times
as much as the American surplus. The
letter concludes;
wheat will soon be over s150, no.
matter how much farmers and specu-
lators work together to keep prices
down, and we would advise those who
can comprehend the situation 10
hold their wheat for sl.5O and add for
every month they keep it say cents,
20 the price. Hold your wheat, you

ITALY HOLDS OFF.

Pair at Chicago.

Fair at Chicago.
WAsHfNGToN, Sept H. - Marquis
Imperiali, Italian charge d'affaires
at Washington, has informed DR. 7. 5.
Verdi president of the ltalo- American
committee for the promotion of the
Columbian exhibition, that the Italian
ministry has Acknowledged the receipt
OF the resolutions adopted at n meeting
OF Italo-Americans held in Washington
on January II, requesting the Italian
government 10 participate in the Chi
cago worlds fair. The ministry de-
clares that il has decided not to Of
fcially participate in any international
exhibition, that for that reason the gov
ernmeHt declined the invitation to Of
ficially participate in the French exhibi-
tion held in Paris in 1859, and that the
refusal TO be officially represented
at the Columbian exhibition is in
consequence of said rule, never be-
fore departed from, which should not
be interpreted as an act of hostility
toward great enterprise or an effort
TO prevent the Italians from exhibiting;
that on the contrary, the government
wishing the success Of the Columbian
exhibition has given the widest pub
licty to the invitation Of its committee
and will do all in its power to assist
such of its citizens as desire TO exhibit,
giving them every possible facility.
