A New York morning paper says that
| the republicans of New York are holding
consultations relative to the recent con-
tested election results in that state. 1t
says: There was meeting of the re-
publican leaders of the state Wednesday
night. Those present were Senator His
cock and exSenators Platt and Warner
Miller, Collector Hendricks, Chauncey
Nj. Depew, chairman of, the republican
state committee. Col. George Bliss and
Joseph Choate as counsel. just what
will be done none of the gentlemen pres
ent would say, but all were unanimous
in saying that every legal means would
be exhausted before a surrender was
made. The general opinion is that the
republican senators will refuse to join in
the organization of the senate until tie
democrats are prepared to act fairly"
A Washington special says: There
are some facts that point strongly to
the probability of war. The war de
partment is forwarding recruits in
squads of forty or fifty as rapidly as
possible to till the complement of regi-
ments in the west and on the Pacific
coast. General Schoheld said that
10000 men are available to send out of
the country. but no more could be
spared from the regular army. Gun
carriages are being shipped to San
Francisco in sections and guns will
follow at an early date General Scho-
field has been twice summoned before
the cabinet and has given it as his
opinion that if 10000 men are sent out
of the country it will be quite possible
to till their place in the regular army
at home by temporary enlistments from
the militia. A certain quota of regulars
will be equipped for actual service at
the army posts to be called for from
each state. In case the 10000 men to

may call for 10000 volunteers for
year.
= This is the way the Washington cor
respondent of the st. Paul Pioneer Press
puts it, "By far the worse treated man
in the democratic house is William Writ
Dixon of Montana He is assigned to
two committees, the labor and arid
lands, one of no use whatever to his
state or his section. The committee on
labor has little or nothing to do and cuts
no figure whatever in the doings of con
gress. and the arid lands committee will
be allowed to do nothing. In the last
congress Carter, rthe republican repre-
sentative Of Montana, was made chair
man of mines and mining and member
of coinage and postoffices and post roads,
three committees of great Importance to
his state, and which he worked to good
advantage for his people. The speaker
could not have done worse if he had total
| ly ignored Mr.. Dixon; in fact, he would
have called attention to him by such an
act. The Montana democrats are not in
favor with the southern democrats. as is
shown by the committee assignments to
