BROKE THE IOWA DEADLOCK.
Lieutenant Governor Poyneer Surprises the
Democrats with a New Ruling.
REPUBLICANS ELECT THE SECRETARY.
Brewer Then Turns Around and PeIps the
Bourbons TO secure All the Minor
Onices-A Little Denuncia-
tion INDUCED In.

DIES MONIES, Ia, jan. 14.-At tho opening
OF tho senate this morning lieutenant Gov
crnor Poyueer made au explanation OF his
position, saving he was clearly convinced
that only q majority of a quorum was neces-
sary TO elect permanent officers. This was
contrary to what was understood previously
that IT took a majority of all the members
elected to the senate to choose such officers.
A call OF the house was ordered immedi-
ately after this decision and all but threo
were present. The roll was called on the
election of secretary OF the senate and the
democrats as usual refused to vote. Inc re-
pubiicans voted for Cliff and Engle for Ken
nedy.
Senator Finn moved that the names OF the
SENATOR present and not voting be recorded.
The motion was ruled out of order, but the
chair, on his own responsibility, ordered re-
corded the names OF the democratic senators
Boiler, Cleveland. Dodge, Groneweg, Kel-
~, Nation, Olson, Perry, Schmidt, Terry
aud Yeomans.
Lieutenant Governor Poyneer then an
nonunced as the result of the roll call that }.
w. Cliff had been elected secretary OF the
senate and the deadlock was broken.
The democrats were astounded at the re-
suit but were helpless. Senator Shields
(dem.) filed a protest and said that Reed
himself would not have so ruled. senator
Bolter also protested against the action and
ruling.
The senate then proceeded. with the eloc-
ton OF other officers. The republicans pro-
posed their regular nominees, the democrats
the same, and lEngle his ticket. Senator
Brewer waited till after the roll call TO vote,
and then made an explanation, -donouncing
the power of Independent Engle, and saying
that as the republicans had nothing to gain
by delay, and the democrats were justly en-
titled TO organize the senate, he regarded the
interests OF the state superior to a few minor
officers, aud therefore voted for w. r. Conk-
lin. the democratic candidate for first assist
ant secretary, electing him.
The remaining permanent officers OF the
senate were elected in the same manner, as
5ollows; Second assistant secretary, c. +.
Swift; sergeant-at-arms, f.. G.. Leonard;
doorkeeper, l.. f. Griggs; engrossing clerk,
Pearl f. Chamberlain enrolling clerk,
Mabel Moore; bill clerk, Della Stubbs
journal clerk, q. A. Fairfield; file clerk,
John Mccullough; postmistress, Mrs. DR..

O'Clock tomorrow morning.
The house was in session a little over an
hour this morning and nothing was done but
todisouss the manner of the formation OF
the committees without reaching q con-
clusion. When the new of the senate break

troublesome refugees, and Minister 'Egan
Sreathes freer. For over four months he
has sheltered these men In spite Of threats,
hostile demonstrations and most annoying
police and secret service espionage. His
guests have been boarded and fed at Mr..
Egan's expense. With their departure, il Is
hoped, ends all trouble over the refugee ques-
ton. .
There were sixteen of these men originally,
but tho number dwlndled down by degrees
until nine only remained. Three of them,
lose Carrera and the two McKeunas, as |
notified you, were escorted by MIR. Egau
aboard the Yorktown the other day. A
fourth was determined to remain in Chill
and fight his case IN the courts.
Thu other five were this morning
escorted from the American legation
By Minister Egan and placed aboard the
Yorktown. AT the same time the Spanish
minister escorted TO Valparaiso those of the
refugees who have been protected in his
legation and saw them safely on the United
States cruiser. One OF them was a, brother
OF Balmaceda. There are now nine refugees
on the Yorktown. The tenth, lose C~arrera,
sailed on Monday aboard the German
steamer Abydos, to which he was transferred
from the American warship.

The Italian minister accompanied Mr..

of the refugees from Santiago and their en-
barkation here were free from any hostile
demonstrations. They will remain aboard
the Yorktown until January IS, when they
will sail for Panama ON one OF the Pacific
mail steamers. They will then cross to
Aspinwall and sail for Europe or the United

they retaliated by beating him.
There does not now appear to be any plea
