CONSIDERS 1T SETTLED.
Senator Sherman on the Election
of LayIin.

COLUMBUS, O., Jan. 2.-Around the
headquarters of Senator Sherman this
evening was all the cheerfulness of ex-
pectant victory. 1t being claimed by
the senator's friends, and apparently
conceded by the opposition, that Sher-
man would have decided majority In
the senate, the Speakership having.
been fought OH senatorial lines, and
Laylin, the Sherman candidate. selected
by majority Of four, the friends of
Senator Sherman quite naturally re-
gard the contest as over, and congratu-
lated the veteran statesman on his We
tory.
Senator Sherman himself. who all
along has manifested not the slightest
uneasiness over the final result. grasped
each of his callers by the hand and
thanked the sisitor for his call and his
congratulations. He was asked how he
regarded the situation now. Very
favorably," replied the senator in tone
of quiet assurance which gave evidence
the battle as practically fought and won.
The Speakership contest" continued
he, "has been, it is generally conceded,
fought upon senatorial lines. Three or
four of my friends voted for Mr.. Nc
Grew, and three or four of Gov. For
aker's friends voted for Laylin. Both
Laylin and McGrew being old members
of respectable standing. each naturally
had personal friends who voted
for him OH personal grounds. But the
great body of representatives voted
upon senatorial lines. / consider that
the interchange of votes was about
equal. so that approximately the house
may be said to contain thirty-four For
aker men and thirty-eight friendly to
me. In the senate, think it will be
and is conceded that very large ma
jority-some say nearly 2 to = are
friendly to me.''
What do you expect your majority
to be In the joint caucus?" ''Oh, 1
can't say as to figures" replied the sem
ator, with pleasant smile of confidence.
Il expect to be renominated, and l do
not know that the figures are at all
material.
"When DO you expect the senatorial
caucus to be held?" II do not know.
That is a matter with which l have
nothing at all to do. 1t is settled by the
members of the two houses themselves

A SUNDAY TRUCE.
Legislators Leaving for Home
Doubtful Ones,

Doubtful Ones.
COLUMBUS, o., Jan. 2.-Senator Sher-
man left the city at o'clock this even
ing for Lancaster. o., where he will
spend Sunday with his sister. EX-Gov.
Foraker is still in the city. and will re-
main over Sunday and until the fight is
over. Three-fourthS of the members of
the general assembly left for their
homes tonight. but the most active heii.
tenants of both Sherman and Foraker
will remain on the ground to watch the
situation.
At the caucus of Republican senators
this afternoon Senator Ebert l.. Lamp
son, of Ashtabula, was unanimously
selected for president pro tempore, all
the other candidates having previously
withdrawn. LampsOn Is claimed by
both the Foraker and Sherman men. but
thus far he has failed to declare him
self. The same is true of the five or
six other doubtful men, and it is now
said they will not define their position
until after the organization of the two
houses next Monday.
Welsh, of Knox. seems to be the only
man in the lot who is determined to
keep his pledge, and even he will not
declare himself for Foraker. but insists
that he will support Mckinley. The
1A4Ai'eASO 1%oNOl PSOPlS pOttiG W
Reeves declaration as an evidence of
the Independent movement against
Sherman. put the friends of the sena-
tor claim that Mr.. Reeves arguments
are only a subterfuge to explain away
his failure to support Sherman.
The Alliance and the labor people
have been valnly endeavoring to make
an impression on the Sherman lines, but
have apparently failed. There are sew
eral Republican farmers who pledged
themselves in their lodges to vote
against Sherman, who will step up and
vote for him with alacrity in the caucus.
The Sherman people claim that for
Foraker to secure a nomination in the
joint caucus by even single vote, he
must have thirty-nine supporters in the
house. Sherman is winner by the same
margin. they insist, if he has thirty-six
supporters i'll the house. 1t is generally
understood that the senatorial jeint
caucus will not be held until Wednes-
day or Thursday evening of the next
week, so that the decisive result will not
be known until that time.
Senator Sherman reconsidered his in
tentlon of spending Sunday with rela-
tives in Lancaster. and will remain in
Columbus, as will also Gov. Foraker.

BANK RUNNING AGAIN.
The Trouble at Mfnot Is Only Tenn
porary.


Devils LAKE, n. D., Jan. 2.-Re-
ports of trouble with the Bank of Minot
are conflicting. A. E. Mears. president
of the bank, is also president of the
Merchants National bank of this city,
the National Bank of North Dakota at
Fargo, and number of other banks in
this state, and the trouble at MinOt will
probably affect them all more or less.
The officers of the bank here state that
the trouble at Minot was caused by
MearS refusing to pay his taxes. consid-
ering them exorbitant. This incensed
the county officials, and the treasurer
withdrew his deposits. This alarmed
the other depositorS, and they COM
menced withdrawing, causing the bank
to run out of funds about an hour be-
fore the usual time for closing. They
opened up next day, having received
more currency, and the bank is running
as usual.
When the report reached this city de-
pOsitOrs in the Merchants National
bank became somewhat alarmed. and
about $4,000 was withdrawn. The cash
ier, however, assured them that there
was no cause for alarm. He received
any deposits offered, and stated that he
had funds to pay all in full, excepting
the county, and could pay it In two days
should it demand 1t. The county has
about $4,000 in bank at present. A
good deal of it will be paid out to the
state, city and townships i'll few days.
MearS' cashier. Peterson, Mears' son
and other officers of the bank are on the
county treasurer's bond for $4,000.
County Auditor Hale and County
Treasurer Lee on hearing reports of
trouble made critical examination of
the books, papers, etc, of this bank and
concluded that it was sound. The bank
has about $4,000 worth of paper and
claims not to owe a cent. Certain it Is
that its doors were open all day yester-
day and every person demanding his
money was paid promptly.
1t is reported chat the cashier of the
Minot bank notified his father-in-law
some time ago to withdraw his deposit.
This. however, the officers here say is
not the case, and that the bank just
happened to get caught as any other
bank in the country Is liable to should
all depositors suddenly withdraw.

BERLIN, ,Jan.2.-Reports havereached
here by cable that the German minister
to Chill had offered the good offices of
Germany as mediator between Chill and
the United States. These reports have
been semi-offlcially denied. The foreign

to telegraph to the minister asking how
the rumor arose, as no instructions from
his government Warranting his inter-
ference have been sent to him, and the
department relies implicitly upon his

THE RAILROADS.

On the Aamosa branch OF the Rio
Grande the mail run between Salida and
Durango has been extended through to
Silverton, which gets the mail to Silverton
and intermediate points one day earlier
than before.
A construction train carrying twenty
men was sent out yesterday to repair
bridges and improve the grade and tracks
of the Santa Fe Southern road. The
laborers run into Espanola and camp
there at night and will not return to Santa
Fe for about two weeks.
1t is announced that overtures have
been made to the Denver & Ell Paso COM
pany by the accredited representatives OF
English and Scotch capital for the supply
of the money needed to build the road.
The amount required to build and eqnip
the line from Trinidad to Ell Paso will be
about $6,000000.
1t is learned on good authority that the
Santa Fe people are seriously considering
the advisabllty of closing the gap in their
syst m from Benson to Deming by build
ing from Fairy bank to Tombstone, thence
by way of Turquois, the Sulphur Springs
valley, San Rernardno canon to Deming.
-Phnnlx Herald.
The Rio Grande Southern engineers
have reached, in the preliminary survey
for extending the line, the only point in
the United States where four states or
territories corner sqnarely, which is the
intersection of the Colorado, Titan, Ari-
IONA and New Mexico boundary lines.
They report that a feasible route has
been located. A station will be located
at the intersection, to be called Intersec.
ton, and depot will be built on the
ground or the state and territories named.
An enormous freight business is being
done on the A., T. & S. f. at present, and
local passenger trains are much delayed
because of this rush of business. 1t re.
quired seven hours to bring passengers
from Las Vegas to Santa Fe night before

blockade of freight trains. Glorieta is a
very important station for the meeting OF
trains and really ought to have increased
