Restaurant
For few minutes this morning ii looked
as if there was good chance for big fire
on Main staeet in the row of small wooden
buildings on the east side of the street op-
posi,o the Gold block. Fire started in the
kitchen, in the rear of the Nonpareil res
taurant, owned by l.. A. Hanson, about
lao. The city hall apparatus got stream
from the chemical engine on about two
minutes after the alarm was sent
in from the box at the corner of
Main and Sixth avenue. Flamea were just
breuking through the roof of the kitchen
when big stream from Il hydrant struck
the inside of the kitchen and pat out the
fire as suddenly as candle is snuiled out
The damage will not exceed 800. An old
man sleeping i'll room near the kitchen
woke up in timo to get out. A large Sibe-
rian bloodhound owned by man next
door took hold of q hose with his teeth and
assisted in unreeling it. A few minutes
after the fire quito breeze sprung up.

GAIN THE LEGISLATURE
The Dem ocrats Are. Almost Certain
to Control 1t on Joint
Ballot.
Already Assured OF Thirty -Fivo
Votes, and Only Need One
More.
Several Doubtful Districts, OF Which They
Are Pretty Sure to Get One
More.

A democratic United States senator from
Montana will be sworn in on the day
Grover Cleveland takes his seat as pfes-
d ant. The returns now make this almost n
certainty. They have sure thirty-hye votes
on joint ballot, or one leas than the re-
quired number. But there are several
chances that they may get the one vote
needed. 1t is not known vet that the joint
representative & ON Dawson and Cascade ia
republican. On the contrary, informa-
tion was received here yesterday that the
democratic candidate Was successful
though this lacks confirmation and the
| oftloial count may be required. II is more
than likely that one Of tho representatives
from Meagher will be a democrat and
special from Anaconda, printed in this
paper, claims that the entire demo-
cratic delegation from Missoula will
pull through. Nor is it certain
that DR.. Fox is defeated for senator in
Park. The majority against him was but
thirteen, and the returns from Cooke City
had not been received, in which place The
doctor has great strength. The democrats
have the following votes assured: Choteau
one, Deer Lodge seven, Gallatin two, Jetfer-
Ron three, Gallatin and Jefferson joint one,
Lewis and Clarke four, Mssoula four. Park
one, Silver Bow Two; ten senators, making
total of thirty-fve.
The republicans have: Beaverhead two,
| Beaverhead and Deer Lodge joint one,
Choteau one Cascade one. Custer two, Fer
gus two, Lewis and Clarke four, Ma Olson
two. Meagher one, Park one, Silver Bow
| five, Yellowstone one; six senators make
total of twenty nine. The pepulists have
three in Silver Bow and one in Cascade.
The unknown are the Dawson and Cascade
joint. Meagher one, Misaoula one.
But few returns were received yesterday
on the capital question, and these did not
affect the relative standing of the cities.
Up to date 221 precincts. of total of 4s5,
have reported, including all the cities OF
any size in the state. The missing pre-
cincts are all small. The returns at hand
show: Anaconda $3.50. Boulder 257, Boze-
man 5,074, Butte G893, Deer Lodge 700,

Revised Returns From silver Bow.

BUTTE, Nov. IL Special. The indica-
tions still are that Silver Bow will send to
the legislature q democratic state senator
and five republicans, three populists and
two democratic representatives. There is a
possibility of the democrats gaining one
representative and a possibility of losing
one. The latest figures on the vote for
president in this county are: Cleveland
2.502, Harrison 3216, Weaver 2,471; Dixon
2 700, Hartman 2,727. Edwards :, 500.

were received at a late hour from Hamilton

those not recently reported. These reduce
the plurality of aylor, republican, for sec
etary of the state. to 767 and the table
shows that Harrison electors have been
elected by 1S7 plurality. The committee,
however, comedies the probable election of
Seward the elector who heads the Cleve-
land list owing to bungiing on the part of
voters WHO placed Il mark opposite the
name of the first elector and the others
were not counted. The democratio com
mittee claims the election of Electors sew
ard, Curtain, and possibly the other
electors. and thinks the official count will
be required to determine the result on the
state ticket.
