That the pair was made Saturday. but that

SANDERS is OUT OF IT,

The Republican Caucus Decides to Vote
for Lee Mantle.
The republicans held a caucus last night
to decide on what their future course should
be in regard to the senatorial situation.
There were twenty-siRht present, including
all the republican senators, and all the re-
publicans of the house except Annear, of
Silver Bow; Benson, of MeaRher, Lsech, Of
Choteau; Lewis, OF Cascade and Dawson.
and Huffman. of Custer. Senator Goddard
presided and Representative Graves was
secretary. The caucus was called at the
request of the friends Of Lee Mantle, of
Butte. Some of the republicans could see
nothing to be accomplished by a caucus,
but the Mantle men overcame their objec-
tions to getting together by the statement
that they had stood by San
break until yesterday. and that tho break
which came then indicated that their forces
could no longer be held together. They
said that while their chances, even with a
solid vote for one man, were not Of the
best, yet scattered they would not have the
ghost Of a show. SO the best thingto do.
they said, was to get together and see If
some plan could not be devised to keep tho
republican column solid and either mako
their members stand by Sanders or get
some candidate that everybody would stand
by. That is how they talked during the
uhYS Euu % Wbb tuue WulCu DlOuRut dDOub
tho caucus. When tho caueus met the
Mantle people talked moro openly.
They called attention to the fact that by
the understanding Of the first caucus,
which nominated Sanders. they could at any
time the majority saw fit change
their candidate. Then they made the
claim that with Mantle rs their candidate
they might get the aid Of some of the dem
ocrasic members and elect him. They did
not count on getting the aid of tho two
silver Bow ~populists, bus relied entirely on
democrats to help them out. In support Of
shis claim they said that no other republi-
can but Mantle could get a democratic
vote. Those who did not favor Mantle or
any other change called attention to the
fact that tho republicans in the Montana
Legislature had won the admiration of
their party all over the country by the de-
tsrminsd and Pc sistent stand they had
made with their caucus nominee with only
the ~faintest kind of = hope Of success to
sustain them. They aiso argued that
Col. Sanders had done nothing
TO cause them to drop him,
and held that the dsfoctions OF Yesterdays
ballots were only temporary. Benson, they
claimed, would only be away from the fold
IA long an his democratic associate from
Nsagher remained on tho opposits side,

THE HOUSE.

One Public Institution Bill Passed and
tho Others Advanced a Stage.
The house practically disposed of tho
educational Institution bills yesterday by
passing one, reporting favorably on two
from committee OF the whole. and setting a
date for consideration of the remaining
one. The battle over tho third reading and
passage Of the school of mines bill was
about the most orderly one yet had in the
house. Tallant. OF Cascade, got the floor
first. He said what he was about to say
was meant in the most friendly spirit to
the city of Butte. He thought that all
three educational institutions, school Of
mines, agricultural college and university,
should be associated in one place. Judge
IallRnt then quoted from the printed cir
culsr the opinions of the great educators
OF the country in favor of consolidation.
There WAS no question AZ TO the cor eotness
OF these opinions, he said. Separation de-
stroved the usefulness of these institutions.
In support OF that view he called attention
to the Pennsylvania agricultural college.
which, he said, was almost always vacant,
and referred to the experience of North Da-
kota, which put nearly tn res-ouar-
tiers OF a million into a big uni
yersity at Grand Forks, which was not
even as useful IA q RESI- eotable high school.
He recognized the fact that it was a non.

what was thought of consolidation. The
proposition was that il tho til 90 i~nrtitu-

was claimed for him that with a full vote
he might secure the two Silver Bow popu-
lists. Nothing was said about him getting

was finally reached, Mantle had about two
thirds Of the twenty-eiRht. Though no
ono would say just what tho figures were

Sanders eleven. Richards one. Then the
ooucus adjourned in q very bad humor and
nobody would talk of what was done.

Gov. Richards may each receive one or two.

The ice railway was completed in the
afternoon and was not open for business
at the time of the accident The ice rail
way resembles q roller coaster track, eX-
cept that the track is covered with artifi-
cial ice. The contrivGnce was tested by
the builders and many trial trips were
successfully made with the workmen as
passengers The public became interested
in the experiment and as nobody prevent
ed people took advantage of the Oppor-
tunity to get q free ride. The train which
met with disaster was made of three sleds
coupled together. A. it was rounding
curve at a terrific rate of speed the pin
connecting the first and second sleds
broke. The second and third sleds jumped

ing and their helpless occupants were
hurled through the air 70 the ground be-
low with tremendous force.
Two of the Injured May Die.
A cry of horror went up from the specta-
tors. Guards rushed tothe scene. and in
a short time the injured were removed in
ambulances TO the Columbian hospital
nearby, where everything was done to re-
lieve their sufferings Richmond never
regained consciousness after the accident,
and the physicians saw at once that there
was no hope of saving his life. The other
victims were made a. comfortable as posi-
BILE and afterward some We're removed in

were taken to their homes. Miss Ayers
and John Jacobs sustained the most ser

to put a serious check on the business of

the time being, mt least.

TEN FREIGHT CARS RUN AWAY.
Five Men Injured One Fatally. on the
Nickel Plate Road.

BUFFALO. June 15.-Five men were in
jured one fatally. and twenty cars
smashed in a wreck on the Nickel Plate
road at Hamburg. A freight train of
thirty cars was coming down the grade
when it broke in two. The brakemen
were not aware of the fact and the engi-
neer did not stop until he reached the foot
of the hill. The ten runaway cars came
dashing down the grade at the rate of fifty
miles an hour There was a frightful
crash when they struck the forward sec
ton and cars were teleScOped and piled
up to "A height of twenty-five feet.
News of the wreck was telegraphed to
Buffalo and a wrecking train and surgeon
were sent to the scene of the accident.
Trainmen who escaped and others from
the neighborhood of the wreck went to
work in search of victims. The first to
be taken out was James ID. Dougherty. Fl
lives at Sharon, Pa, and with another man
was working his way to Buffalo. He was
riding on the section that broke loose.
When the crash came he was tossed into
the air and dropped into the wreck, where
he was found unconscious. Joseph Quinn,
of Sharon, Pa, Dougherty's companion.
was pinned between the cars. Joseph Bus
KEY, who was stealing ride was thrown
twenty feet and rendered unconscious.

right leg fractured, and badly bruised
about the chest. Quinn's right leg is frac-

about the head and face and also inter
nally, and will probably die. Buskey has
