Without any apparent change in the
speakership contest, and there was the
general impression that, on account Of
the brief time between the opening of
the caucus and the meeting of the
house, no choice would be pos
Sible this morning. The five cam

as ever, and their followers
seemed imbued with that same con-

Important TO Railroads.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, Dec. THE
supreme court today, in an opinion by
Judge Sherwood, decided an important
railroad question. 1t was the case of
Thomas VS.. Missouri Pacific Railroad
company, and was to the effect that it is
the constitutional and legal duty of all
railroads to receive each others pas
rengerS, tonnage and cars. Unbroken
cars must be accepted, no matter what
the variation in coupling arrangements.
This is believed to be the first decision
in which such action by railroads has
been considered mandatory upon them.

Arter Many Weary Hours


ST balloting tonight. Mr.. Crisp asked
TO be excused from any expression fur
Their than that his ranks were unbroken,
and that he expected TO show increased
strength in the circus. Mr..
said Mr.. Mills would certainly
be selected, but he declined to state
what members he expected TO come over
to the Texas candidate or how many
ballots would be required to prove the
business OF his prediction.
The Democratic caucus resumed its
session promptly at 10 o'clock. and
withOutany preliminary proceedings the
secretary began to call the roll. The
call disclosed the presence of PIP men,
berS, but others were constantly arriv-
ing. The eighteenth ballot was then
begun. AS the roll call proceeded
other members dropped in one by
one until the PIP members were
increased to 226. This left beside the
candidates but three ahsenteeS, Messrs.
Buchanan, Ryan and Terry. The TWO
tirst-named gentlemen are sick, and
were also absent Saturday. but Mr..
Terry made an appearance on the see
Ond ballot and swelled the total of mem
berS present to 227.
The excitement was intense during
was realized that the hour for solicita-
ton had passed, however, and
the first ballot was devoid of
the augumentative scenes which
characterized the balloting of
Saturday night. Every member was
left free to exercise his preference with
out persuasion, and as the roll call pro-
ceeded and no changes were noted it
became apparent that the claims of the
leading candidates were eXtravagant
and that there would be no surprises
Probably the
Most Interesting Parsonage
just at this time was Mr.. Cable, of Hi
nOiS, who was confidently expected by
The friends of Mr.. Mills to desert to the
Texas candidate on the first ballot, aud
to be thereupOn followed by Mr.. New
berry, Of Illinois, another of Mr..
SpringeTS supporters. When the name
of the Rock Island member was
called. however, Mr.. Cable voted for
Mr.. Springer and subsequently Mr.
Newberry did the same, thus blasting
the hopes OF break among Mr.. SPRING
er'S sturdy supporters. As the follow
ers Of ali the other candidates were
equally firm, the eighteenth ballot
showed no change from the seventeenth
of Saturday night. The result was:
Crisp. ga; Mills, 90: McMillin, 49,:
Springer, II; Hatch, ); Stevens, l.
1t Is true Mr.. Mills did not receive the
ninety-One votes of Saturday, but this
was due to the absence OF Mr.. Terry, of
Arkansas. who subsequently entered
the hall and voted for the Texas candi-
date on the succeeding ballot, thus
bringing Mills vote up TO the old
figure of 81. The first ballot had con-
sumed about fifteen minutes, and
it became evident that but two
ballots could be taken before
the meeting of the house, as the CALLER
les of that chamber must be opened at
30 in order to give time for the enter
Ing and seating of visitors. The second
ballot Of the day, or nineteenth
OF the contest, was quite "a per-
1unctory one. 1t was evident that no

Origin OF the GrOssbeak.

There has always been dispute in
regard to the pretty grossbeaks which
have visited this city in large focks
nearly every winter for ten or twelve
years past. IL has been claimed that
they originated from numbN of the
birds of this species brought here in n
ship from China and turned loose by Mr.
Walter Moffet. Others claim that the
birds are natives of this country, and are
identical with the evening grossbeak of
the Middle States. Among the birds
brought over on the Coloma, from Hong
Kong, to be turned loose here, are a
number Of these grossbeaks, which goes
to prove that the theory that the focks
here originated from birds brought from
China by Walter MTolfet is the true one.
Old residents say that there were no such
birds here in early days. 1t is scarcely
possible that they have emigiated here
over the Rocky Mountains. Portland

Crows nake very amusing pets tor any

II is a common idea among the country

If any "chicken sickness comes on con

grows in strength and is able to travel

swallow anything that is very salt.
Dump handful of gravel down his

sleep. 1t will be but a few minutes.
Repeat the same lesson and nothing
