THE AGONY is ENDED
A Observation-Disclosures Com
bination Organizes the
House.
E.T.Champlin Elected Speaker
and J. P. Smalley Will
Be Clerk,
Caueuses Arrange the Dis
tpibution of Officials and
Senate Committees.
Yesterdays Proceedings Are
Otherwise of Very Little
Interest.

The breach between the Democrat
and Alliance parties was successfully
filled yesterday. and the two combined
in electing E. Z. Champlin as speaker.
The Alliance party was highly elated in
securing for one of its number so high
an Office. while the Democrats were
pone the less satisfied with the agree
ment entered into making the combina
ton possible. The election was expected
to have been made at the mornings
session, but after three votes the effort
was abandoned. The caucuSeS and con-
ferences which followed completed the
deal, and at the reassembling of the
house in the afternoon Mr.. Stivers
gracefully withdrew his candidature in
favor of Mr.. Champlin. The full
strength of the Democrats was
thrown to the Alliance candidate
and the deadlock was broken. Mr..
Champlin was enthusiastically greeted
when he ascended the speakers ros-
trum, and his address of acceptance
was marked with proper appreciation
of the high honor conferred upon him,
as we'll as the Onerous duties he would
be called upon to fulfill. The house i'm
mediately adjourned. In TIE evening
caucuses of the Alliance members and
the Democrats were held, and the re-
mainder of the elected officers decided
upon. These will be formally elected
when the house meets at 10 o'clock this
morning. Beyond organization it is
questionable whether any other busi-
ness will be transacted, but an adjourn
ment taken until Monday or Tuesday.

SAME OLD STORY.
Three Roll Calls and Still Nc
EhniRn

Three Roll Calls and Still No
Choice.
Members of the house were bright
and early in their seats yesterday morn
ing. Every representative was in his
seat at 10 o'clock when Lane Is. Stone
called for order. There was the roll
call, then the reading of the journal
and the motion, "Mr. Chair man, Imove
we proceed at once with the election of
a speaker" The roll was called by Mr..
Feig, VINO continued to act as secretary,
performing tile work in an ad mirable
manner. With the anticipation that a
speaker would be elected at the morning
session there was crowded lobby and
gallery, and just prior to the resump-
tiOn of voting excitement ran high. But
it was the same old monOtOnous round
the Alliance men stood in line for
Champlin, the Democrats for StiverS
and the Republicans for Searle. There
was not a change of vote. On the sur
face it seemed as if an agreement was
as far off as ever, and the Republicans
looked more hopeful over the ultimate
success of their candidate. Three bal
lots were taken, and the vote on each
stoOd-Champlin, 80; Searles, fl; Sti-
verS, 40. Chairman Stone suggested a
fourth ballot, but Mr.. Penney relived
the house from this unnecessary inflic-
tion by moving all adjournment until
$3.50.
The Alliance party and the Democrat
party Immediately went into executive
session, with the result noted below.

kOASTS THE LOBBY.
Handled Without Gloves by Gov
Russell

BOSTON, Jan. S.-Gov. Russell took
the oath of Office at 1890 to-day. He
then proceeded to read his inaugural
address. In his message Gov. Russell
advocates an amendment to the consti-
tuition of the state, ,annulling so much Of
it as requires the payment of tax as a
qualification for voting. He advises that
the law requiring the publication of
election expenses be extended and made
more stringent. The governor deals
with the question of the ''lobby" at
great length. He says:
1t is far easier to state the evil than to sug-
gest the remedy. Clearly il is impossible and
improper to prevent q constituent or any
other person from having the freest access
to a legislator. This constitutional right
guaranteed to the people gives opportunity
to the lobby to do its work. Prevention by
non-intercouse is therefore impossible. Pre-
venllon by publicity is possible. and would
suggest for your consideration whether
remedy may not be found in this direction,
by making it easier than it now is publicly
to investigate the methods used and money
spent on pending legislation; and also py
giving power to some proper officer. before a
measure finally becomes law. TO demand
under oath full and detailed statement as
to these matters. The fear of publicity, and
through 1t OF defeat, may stop improper prac-
tiOco ps iiidaluS thcul WOIst tlldD uSeleSS.
Gov. Russell strongly recommends
that the legislature petition congress to
take action for the proper protection of
railroad employees against the dangers
to which they are exposed.
SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Jan. 9.-Both
houses OF the state legislature met
again to-day. Gov. Fifer's message.
summary of which was heretofore pub
lished, was read and referred to appro-
pirate committees. Arrangements were

noon to canvass the vote cast at the
last state election. In the senate, bills
for the adoption of the Australian bal
lot law, and for uniform system of
school text books, were presented and
referred. In the house, joint Iesolu-
tion was adopted providing for separ-
ate ballots in both houses for United
States senator Oh Jan. 2S. and for a
joint ballot on the day following.
The Democratic steering committee
of the lower house of the legis lature de-
cided tonight that no time should be
lost in dlSposing of contested election
cases. McCrone, Republican, will be
the first victim. The programme is to
unSeat him tomorrow.

Sensational Proceedings Among
the Nutmeggers.

HARTFORD, Conn.,, Jan. s.-The house.
assembled shortly after 10 O'clock. The
joint resolutions passed late yesterday
afterooon by the senate were received
by the house. They declare each of the
Democratic state officers elected. Rep
resentative Greene, of Norwich, Repub-
lican, offered a resolution creating Spe-i
cial committee of the house on the cam
vasS of state officers, referring the re-
turns to them, and directing them to in
vestigate allegations of inaccuracy of
the count recited III the preamble to his
resolution. After a long debate the
resolution was adopted.
There was much excitement in the
capitol just before the senate adjourned,
over a rumOr that the Democratic candE
dates for state offices had been sworn
in and were about to claim the offices.
The doors were locked and other pre-
cautions were taken, but no movement
was made. and as now reported none
was contemplated. The house commit
tee of inquiry into the canvass of votes
for state officers held session late
this afternoon. All the mem-
bers. Republicans and Democrats,
were present. They discussed
the scope of their inquiry and.
without final action, adjourned to next
"Wednesday at 10 a. NJ. The Democrats
of the house held caucus Immediately
after recess to consider nomination
for United States senator, but decided
not to hold any regular nominating eau
Gus until the evening of Jan. 10. The
present situation of affairs is that the
senate has declared the Democratic
state officers elected; the house has set
about all inquiry as to whether any one
was elected, and meanwhile the old
state officers (Republican) hold their of
fees, although Lieut.. Gov. Merwin has
not appeared in the senate, and that
dent pro TEN.

Great Terror of Redskins.
SALT LAKE CITY. Utah. Jan. s.-A
special from POcatello, Idaho, says the
town is in great state of excitement
over the action of the Shoshone Indians
OH the reservation. Last night they in-
dulged in a war dance, and otherwise
evlnced desire for bloodshed. The
chief, Mayer jim, declared that the In
dians would fight, giving as reason
that the bad Indians get heap grub
and blankets; good Indian get nothing.
Indian heap mad, will fight" The ad-
vices say that the Indians declare that
they will go on the warpath. A dis
patch from the town says: "The Indi-
ans are on the rampage, and the people
are fleeing from the city for safety. The
Indians are in war paint and cannot be
restrained" The latest advices say the
governors guards and the United States
cavalry at Boise City have been notified
to repair to Pocatello as soon as possi-
bic, and by this time they are thought
to be EN- route. The town is in state
of widest confusion. The place is al
mast entirely destitute of arms and a
force or not over 200 men is all that
can be mustered for service. The
ranchmen and cowboys from the sur
rounding country are assembling to the
rescue. Requests from Black foot,
Idaho, for transportation of arms have
been sent to the Union Pacific authOri-
ties here. People of Pocatello are
pleading with the railroad people for
the trains to remove their families from
the town. The young bucks have
been gathering all day and one
cowboy reports band of 200 pillagng
the ranches outside of the town Of
Blackfoot. An old squaw said tonight
that the bucks are gathering i'm big
bands and will make trouble. 1t is ex-
pected by tomorrow sufficient force
will be mustered to cope with the saw
ages in case Of attack. If movement
is made before that time by the Indians

small band of Ogalallas, who were
butchering, and proceeded further, fol-
lowed, however, by two of the
Indians, who appeared to be
friendly. He was shortly afterward
met by Pete Richards, son-in-law of Red
Cloud, who had been sent by the latter
to warn him not to approach nearer the
hostiles, because it was dangerous.
Casey said he would ride to the top of
little knoll. whence he could get view
of the hostile camp. Richards dis
suaded him, and he and Casey turned
around and departed. just then Rich
ards heard shot, and turning back saw
Casey fall from his horse; the bullet
passing through the latter's head. The
shot was fired by the younger of the
two Ogalallas who had followed Casey.
Richards would have shot the murderer,
