The Situation in Mrominr.

CHEYENNE, Wy, Jan. 1O-There was
great activity in legislative circles yester-
day. The populists held conference in
the morning to decide what line of action
they would take in organizing the house
today. There seemed to be a slight division
of opinion, and they adjourned to the
evening. The Democrats were trying to
make deal with the Populists to cure
the speakership, but last evening the Re

Wns u Fatal Hiding Place.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Jan. ia. - The
story of singular tragedy in Buchanan
county, Virginia, comes through a reliable
source. Charles Carroll, moonshiner
who was being pursued by deputy mar
shals, concealed himself in an abandoned
cabin, barred the door and stood peeping
out through n knothole. The posse came
along the road, stopped, and began talking
on the edge of the clearing, too far away TO
be heard in ordinary conversation. A bet
was N ade and taken that one of the party
could not shoot through q knothole in the
door. A Winchester was leveled and fired
and something was heard to fall inside the
cabin. The officers rushed to the spot and
found writing in death the man for whom
they were hunting.

TOPEKA, Kan, Jan. 10 -Breidenthal,

fled in both houses, twenty being in the

Doster and Webb and c. G. Clemens, the
latter the principal Kansas lieutenant of
Parsons when that Chicago anarchist or
ganized this state. Breidenthal has deter
mined to organize a Populist house by
withdrawing all the members of that par
ty as soon as it is demonstrated that the
Republicans have majority.
Republican Counter-Move.
Some of the Populist members are OPP
posed to such revolutionary proceeding,
and workers are endeavoring to whip them
into line. Breidenthal assures them that the
senate and state officers will recognize
them, and eventually the courts will do so.
In the meantime the Republicans have al
ready taken steps to have the supreme
court enjoin the state auditor and treasurer
from paying any bills that may be con-
tracted by such rump house, as well as the
per diem and mileage of the members.

Have Possession of Nebraska's Capital
Speculations.
LINCOLN, Neb., Jan. l0-The city fairly
swarms with politicians and each politi-
clan has rumor. But the important ques-
ton is whether the postponement of the
organization of the legislature will post
pone the senatorial election. 1t is claimed
that Lieutenant Governor Majors will hold
that in one week from today the legisla-
ture may commence to ballot for senator.
1t is also claimed that Speaker Coffin will
rule that the senatorial election cannot
take place until the second Tuesday after
the organization, or two weeks from to-
day.
Would Swamp the Republicans.
This is an important point, for if Speaker
Coffin so rules twill allow the Douglas
county contest to be heard and if it is
heard there is no doubt the seven Repub-
lican representatives from Douglas will
have to make room for the Democratic
contestants. The senatorial candidate
whose name is most mentioned is John H.
Powers, Populist. The Populists support
ers claim that if he is the party caucus
nominee several Republicans will vote for
him. Powers is radical free silver man
and says tariff is not an issue"

The Wisconsin electors, in face of the
fact that it was a new thing for Wisconsin
to cast its vote for a Democratic candi-
date for president, wrote their ballots with
gold pens and each will retain the pen he
used as souvenir. Another state that
divided its vote was Oregon, which gave

Montana Democrats Bound TO Have All
Their Votes


Their Votes.
HELENA, Mont, Jan. 10-There was
dramatic scene in the house yesterday
when A. J. Davidson, member of the
Democratic national committee for Mon
tana, and one of the members of the house
of representatives from this county, was
carried in the hall IL was understood
that a vote on the HamiltonlL eech con-
test would be taken and Davidson's physi-
clans gave their contest to have him taken
to the session. Helhas been lying at the
Hotel Broadwater euer since his illness
and an electric car was fixed up to bring
him into town, distance of about three
miles.
Silence That Could Be Felt
He was accompanied by two physicians
and his wife. Arriving at the house he was
put into an invalid's chair and four stout
men carried him into the hall. The chair
was deposited in the center of the hall and
the speaker came down to him and admin
istered the oath of office. The stiffness
during the time Davidson was carried into
the house and while the oath was being
administered was almost painful The
lobby was jammed with people and no
sooLer had the oath been subscribed by
him than cheer went up that could be
heard block
Republicans Were Hardhearted.
An appeal was made to the Republicans
to pair with the sick man, but none re-
sponded. After some discussion it was de-
cided to postpone action on the Hamilton
Leech case until today. Davidson was ex-
cused, and now that the Republicans see
that tie sick man is sure to be on hand
when lis vote is needed on political ques-
tons it is probable a pair will be arranged
