HELENA, Jan. 27.-[Special telegram to
The HERALD. Both parties announced
tonight that the details of the legislative
compromise are complete and that to NOR
row afternoon the united house will meet
for business. The Republicans have con-
ceded nearly every point asked by the
Democrats. The latter had the command
ing position. They came forward last
Wednesday with proposition for settle
ment. The Republicans refused to answer,
making excuses until yesterday, when the
Democrats gave them twenty four hours to
decide. To-day the Republicans agreed to
the plan and then the caucus adjourned sine

stration to celebrate the union of the war

OF Hon. John James ingalls, will be occu
pied by Alfred Pfeffer. of the Farmers
alliance, who in joint session of the Kansas
legislature tomorrow will be formally de-
clared elected United States Senator.
The predictions of the knowing ones that
the Alliance would be unable TO agree
upon a candidate, and that failure
to agree would disrupt the organization,
went wide of the mark. The caucus was
harmonious last night, and to each ballot
the name receiving the lowest vote was
dropped from the list until choice was
made. Rumors of detection in the vote
in the house to-day likewise proved I'M
founded. The proceedings of both houses
were of an orderly character.
In the house fifty-three petitions from
Grand Army of the Republic vete-
rams throughout the state for the re-
election of ingalls, went over under
the rule. When the result of the ballot
was announced, the Alliance members went
wild and cheered for several minutes

afternoon, said he had no plans for the
future except that he knows he will remain
in Kansas.

Corbett or his friends at the Office of the

said: 81 don't care rap about Corbe1t's

Corbett for the cash there is in it. There
would be no glory for me in victory over

RESOLUTIONS TO BE PREPARED

The city council met at the usual hour
last evening, with Mayor Scott in the chair.
The councilmen present were Parsons,
Noble, Lynn, Anderson, Armstrong, Hall,
Cohn, Pendleton, Pembroke, Karrick and
James.
The most important matter of the session
was sprung by Councillor Pembroke, who
said he wished to called attention to a
series of articles in the Illustrated american
in regard to Utah. The article referred to
is headed determination of the Mormons, ),
which states that the Mormons want war;
that they have an iuvincible faith to inspire
them, enormous wealth to equip them and an
admirable strategetic position to aid them
in battle. Councilman Pembroke said he
believed the Mormon people had at heart
the building up of the city, just as other
citizens had. The publication of a series OF
articles, based upon such humbug and rot
calculated to injure the city, and he thought
something ought to be done to expose it.
Councilman Hall have heard this arti-
Gle read with great deal of disgust, and !
agree with MIR. Pembroke that the publica-
ton of such stuff is calculated to iniure
the city.

mously adopted.
Whereas, the impression obtained by
reading the articles bearing upon the Nor
mon question published in the Illustrated
American is such as to unsettle the eastern
public confidence in the soundness of the
commercial interests OF this city, be it
Resolved, that committee of this
council be appointed to officially refute, by
telegram or otherwise, the statements con-
tanned in the December 9TH issue of the
Illustrated american, TO the effect that Utah
is about TO make war upon the United
States, and be it further resolved that the
committee be requested to obtain the CO.
operation of the territorial officers and the
Salt Lake chamber Of commerce in this
refutation, and that the same be caused Il
be published in the Illustrated Americdnp
The mayor named Pembroke, Hall and
