TWO IN THE CHAIR.
The Nebraska Legislature Starts of Witt
Deadlock I'm the Preliminary Join
SasSinn

The Nebraska Legislature Starts OF With
Deadlock in the Preliminary Joint
Session.
LINCOLN, Neb., Jan. S.-The proceed
ings in the Nebraska Legislature yes
terday afternoon were of an extraor-
dinary character. At o'clock the
Senate aud House assembled in joint
session for the purpose of canvassing
the vote of State officers as prescribed
by the Constitution.
Trouble was precipitated at the out
set by a misunderstanding as to which
officer should preside over the joint con-
vention. Lieutenant-Governor MiclSle-
john advanced to the chair to preside,
claiming his right under the Constitu-
ton, the statutes and the uniform prac-
tice of the State. Speaker Elder. of the
House, refused to vacate and the two
officers occupied chairs side by side,
each claiming the gavel.
The Speaker attempted to call the
body to order, but was himself called
to order by the Lieutenant-Go Governor.
The hall was crowded and the excite
ment was intense, but no demonstration
was made beyond some loud talk and a
number of motions to change the plan
of proceeding to the canvass. These
motions were declared out OF order.
The official returns We're brought in
by the Secretary of State and laid be-
fore the body. The Speaker was di-
rected by the Lieutenant-Governor to
open the package and read the returns.
He began the work. but was advised by
the attorney for the Independent party
not to do so. He then refused to go on
with the work.
The Lieutenant Governor ruled that
no business could be transacted until
the returns were canvassed and this
brought on deadlock
The joint convention sat for nearly
four hours, the time being taken up by
oratorical fencing and labored argu-
.ment from each side to prove that the
other was in the wrong. At Z o'clock
recess was taken until 10 o'clock this
morning, when the deadlock will again
be in force unless one side decides on a
course that will bring victory.

CONCORD, N. H., Jan. s.-By direction
of Governor Goodell, Republican, MEM
bers of the Concord police force in charge
of the city marshal were scattered in
various portions of the State House ear
ly yesterday morning. AS the members
of the Senate and House filed up stairs
it was necessary for them to pass by the
marshal and his officers and also to
identify themselves as members-elect of
the Legislature. Four officers in citi-
zens' dress occupied seats on the steps
leading to the Speakers desk.
At the Democratic legislative caucus
in the forenoon, the placing of police
men in the State House was severely
denounced
Long before the House assembled the
galleries were thronged with spectators,
while some of the leading representa-
tives of both parties occupied seats in
the lobbies below. The spectators
gathered in anticipation of an exciting
time at the opening of the session.
Much time was consumed by Clerk
Jewett in receiving the certificates of
the members.
At 1:35 o'clock Governor Gooden with
his counsel entered the Representative
hall and Clerk Jewett called the House
to order. He Immediately proceeded to
call the roll of the members prepared
by him, and announced that the consti-
tutional number of Representatives ap-
peared to be present, and directed the
sergeant-at-arms to administer the oath
of office to the members.
The roll of the House prepared by
Clerk Jewett contained the names of
179 Republicans and 15S Democrats.
Mr.. Gallinger was elected temporary
chairman. The Democrats made no
effort to obstruct the proceedings.
In the House in the afternoon the
Republican candidates for sergeant-at-
arms and doorbeeper were elected and
special committees appointed to report
rules and select chaplain.
The Senate met the House in Joint
convention at 4 o'clock and filed vacan-
cies resulting from failure to elect.
The committee appointed to canvass
the returns of votes for Governor to the
Secretary of State reported as follows:
Whole number of votes cast, s6,24O;
Hiram Tuttle, Republican, 42,479;
Charles II. Amsden, Democrat, 42,3S6:
Josiah NJ. Fletcher, Prohibitionist, 1888;
scattering, 13. There was no choice.
A ballot taken for Governor resulted
as follows: Tuttle 1s5, Amsden $50.

Bufralo Bin Expects 8 Fight.

LONG PINE, Neb., Jan. s.-Al along
the Elkhorn & Missouri Valley road the
people believe themselves in great peril
In case the battle that seems imminent
at Pine Ridge should result adversely
to the troops. A part of the National
Guard of Nebraska, 1000 men, is al
ready in the field and Governor Thayer
has ordered achievements. General
W. L. Colby is in command, with head
quarters at Rushville, where the larger
BODY of the militia Is stationed.
Buffalo Bill says that he believes that
a big battle is almost sure to occur
within few days near Pine Ridge.

came in from the hostile camp to hold a
pow-wow with General Miles were ad-
vised by the General TO surrender.
General Miles told them that he was
not here 10 listen to their complaints,
that they would be allowed to go to
Washington to make them after the
trouble was arranged here.
The Indians said that nearly, if not
quite, all of the Pine Ridge Indians
were desirous of peace and wanted to
come back to the agency.

Troops Hampered by a Strike.

OELREIcHs, n. D., Jan. ia freight
strike is on at this point, this being the
supply station for the troops now in the
field. While the Government had charge
of its transfer teams they were paid s.
per day, but on Thursday last two con
tractors appeared on the scene and re
duced the compensation so that the
teamsters would not be able to make
more than 81 per day and a well organ
lied strike ensued. Fourteen carloads
of supplies are now on the sidetrack,
and it is evident that the three camps
of troops which are stationed thirty
miles distant must be running short OF
supplies.

Rashness Deprecated.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. Jan. lit seems
now that the promised attempts by each
party to unseat members of the other in
order to secure majority of the joint
ballot will probably be held in abey-
ance, since if once entered on there is no
knowing where it would stop. Threats
of the Democratic House to unseat Nc
Rane has led to a counter threat by the
Republican Senate to unseat Noonan
and others and these are urging their
brethren in the House not to get them
into trouble by any rash measures.

Chrysanthemum dances are the rage
in England just now. At a great ball
in Birmingham the other evening Mrs.
Herbert Chamberlain was dressed as a
white chrysanthemum in a skirt OF
white silk, stiffened and shaded to rep

of green silk to represent the stem, with
shaded velvet leaves falling on the white
skirt, and head-dress of petals forming
the heart of the flower.

in progress mob of about 100 laborers
from the seacoast and neighborhoods

to listen to the spokesman of the party.
The latter said that they and their
families were literally starving, and
that they had individually not been
able to earn a shilling in six months.
They demanded work, and told the
guardians that they were driven to
desperation by the suffering they and
their families endured. The guardians
promised to do their utmost to relieve
their distress, but their means are
limited.
