MONTANA DEMOCRATS.

with the Aid Of Popuiists They Now Com
troll the Legislature.
HELENA, Jan. 5.-The Democrats and
Populists voted together and elected
Thomas Matthews, Populist, speaker,
and H. I. Wiley, Democrat, chief clerk.
The Democrats did not organize third
house as it was supposed they would.
They simply took that means, they said,
of breaking q quorum. At any rate
they are now in charge with the aid OF
the three Populists of the house and
senate, and have majority on joint
ballot for United States senator. The
terms of the alliance of the Democrats
and Populists are kept profoundly se-
cret, and II both stick to it the next
senator from Montana will undoubtedly
be a Democrat. Leech, Republican,
claimant from Choteau, will put in an
appearance and claim his seat, which
will be disputed by the Democrats. He
stands practically no chance of being
seated.

A Difference OF Opinion as TO Which
Party Owns the Colorado
Legislature.
The Question Will Probably BE Settled
by q Test Vote at the Earliest
Opportunity.
Caucus Nominations Go Through In
North Dakota-Governor Nelson
Inaugurated.

DENVER, Colo, Jan. 5.-There was q
good deal of excitement visible when
the Ninth general assembly Of Colorado
was called to order at noon, and there
were widely different claims as to the
relative strength of the two parties.
The Republicans claim that they have
thirty-three members of the house
against thirty-two of the combined OPP
position of the Democrats and Popn-
lists. The Democrats on the other
hand maintain that four OF the
members elected as Republicans
are really Farmers Alliance men and
viii vote with the Democrats. A divis-
ION and show of strength will probably
be forced at the earliest opportunity,
and it will probably come on a motion
TO appoint temporary clerk in place OF
Willetts, the hold-over clerk. Should
the Democratic-Populist combination
capture the house, the programme Ia
for the Republicans to walk out and or
ganize separately. There are five con-
tests in the house which viii go with the
main question Of partisan control.
The struggle for supremacy.
The struggle for supremacy was in
augurated at once in the organization,
each Of the three parties holding enough
power to prevent either of the others
accomplishing anything. Theprospects
are that day or two will be spent be-
fore organization is perfected.

IN KANSAS.

The Supreme Court Gives the Republ-
cans Two More Members.
TOPEKA. Jan. 1.-THE supreme court
has decided two of the four legislative
contest cases before the court. In the
jackson county cases the petition for
mandamus was refused, and Nick
Kline, the Republican member, will
take part in the organization
OF the house. The Republic
county case, where some OF
the tickets were misprinted, the courts
held that the error WIS evidently a
clerical one, and that the voters using
those tickets should not be disfranchised.
The case was decided against the Popu-
lists. If James Wilson, the Independent
Republican member from Meade county,
will act with his party in the organiza-
tion of the house the Republicans can
organize that body, even though the
Haskell county cases should be decided
for the Populists. The Republican
managers claim Wilson will go with the
party caucus and that it is settled fact
that they will organize the house.

OSHKOSH, Wis, Jan. 5.-The trial of
City Comptroller w orden on charges of
boodleism in connection with the Wis
consin avenue bridge in this city, has
been resumed. Mr.. Keepers, of the
Milwaukee Bridge and Iron company,
which drew the plans for the bridge,
was on the stand all the evening. His
testimony tended to exonerate Worden,
but on cross-examination he contra
dicted statements which he had made
in letters to Mayor Ditchmann. He did
not deny that the whole thing was
rotten, but professed to have forgotten
all conversation on the subject. Keep
ers also swore that the changes which
were finally made in the bridge plans
saved the contractors $1,000, and that of
this amount the city only got $500.

George walsh. OF Grand Forks. Elected
Speaker Of the House.
BISMARCK, Jan. 5.-The Republicans
organized both houses of the legislature
at noon. Contrary to the expectations
OF the. Democrats and Independents,
George Walsh, OF Grand Forks, was
chosen speaker Of the house, and ]. d.
Worst, OF Emmons. president pro tenn
of the senate. Major Hamilton was
reelected chief clerk of the house, and
Fred Fallev secretary OF the SEN
ate. The Republicans of the senate
took the appointing power entirely
ont Of the hands o. Lieutenant Governor
Wallace, the Populist. and elected all
clerks and officers. The same was done
in the house, and the swearing train
will contain vast army of disappointed
Democrats and Populists who were
banking on positions. The new state
officers qualified quietly at the residence
of Governor Shortridge. Senator Casey
has arrived and now the senatorial fight
opens in earnest.

Another Convict Dies After an Illness
OF Only Two Careless
ness Alleged.

LITTLE Rock, Jan. 5.-The death Of
another convict and the serious illness
of another has caused great excitement
here. A meteorological examination is
now under way. 1t will require two
days to complete it. DIR. Geddings
gives it as his opinion, from what he
has already seen and heard, that viru-
lent form Of cholera has broken out.
He ordered the penitentiary authorities
not to allow convict to leave
the building. A drove of hogs
were driven from the penitentiary last
week to a place of safety in the country,
and it is feared the disease will break
out in their wake as soon as warm
weather sets in. A young woman living
in the vicinity of the penitentiary was
taken sick at Q o'clock and died in two
hours. Several of the convicts have
died as quickly. DR.. Geddings said that
the disease would be kept in it's present
confines provided the authorities kept
the prisoners in the walls. and this will
be done. DR.. Geddings noticed the exist
ence of the dump in the penitentiary, and
from his conversation it was inferred
that he thought it was dangerous
nuisance. For. instance, il the disease
should be cholera it would be possible
for the convicts to carry out infected
dirt on their feet. This might be
washed off in running stream, and
thereby communicated to persons out.
side. DR.. Geddings expressed surprise
that the convicts from within the walls
were allowed to work on the streets
under the circumstances.

PREPARING FOR A STRUGGLE.

Trouble Again Brewing Between the
Reading Company and Its Engineers.
PoTTTvII.LE, Pa, Jan. 5.-Trouble is
now threatening between the Reading
railroad and those of its engineers and
firemen who belong to the brotherhood
and kindred organizations. The patch
up of troubles last fall was only tenn
porary and the Reading management is
evidently preparing for struggle in
the near future to atone for the recent
back down. Applicants by scores are
being examined at the different princi-
pal main line points and engineers GER
tificates are being given out very freely
to old fremen and frequently to new
ones who have worked few months,
and in most cases the applicants are
told to keep on at their present minor
positions and that in the early spring
they would be given engines. Enough
men have been promised engineerships
to man all the locomotives the company
owns.
The brotherhood openly assert they
are aware that the company is prepar-'
ing to order them to leave their asso-
Citations or the company's employ and
that the battle will soon be declared on.
Besides giving promotion certificates to
it's non-union hands the Reading is said
to be employing q number of Pennsyl-
vania railroad engineers and firemen on
the inducement that they can make
bigger wages ON the Philadelphia and
