FIRM IN HIS POSITION.

Goyeraor Richards states His q. Sons
for Refusing To Call mn Extra Session.
Special Dispatch 10 the stanlard
HELENA, Aug. -. Tho efforts being
made to have Governor Richards call an
extra session Of ths legislature to elect
United States senator, have thus far not
caused him to change his mind. lie said
today:
II don't think there is a ghost of . show
for silver after the vote in the house
yesterday. II proves that the administra-
tion is all powerful. I cannot CONCEIVE of
any contingency that will make Nfontana's
one vote in the senate necessary. All that
could bc done there now would be flli-
burstering aud delay, and there are
enough silver men to do that nov.
IL believed the interests of Montana de-
manded the election of a senator wolld
cah the legislature together at once. but
knowing the burdens II would devolvc
upon the state which the state is not able
to stand. and taking the chance we would
from our knowledge of the action Of the
legislature last winter. ! would not feel
justified before the people in calling an
extra session for that purpose"

SHEEPsHEAD BAY, Aug. 9.-Domino
proved himself a worthy son of noble
sire to-day by winning the great Futurity
stakes from field OF II competitors. He
carried the ton weight, too. and was de.
layed at the post nearly half an hour. Be-
sides this, tho track was heavy and sticky.
IL was just the day for q light weight, but
he vanauislIed all OF them. though one OK

more than n furiong and vas only q head

stake was $4,000, divided as foilows:

S..3i to Galilee. $3.50 to his breeder;
S2.665 to Dobbins aud sl,Uo to his
breeder.
The fear OF the cyclone deferred many
from going TO the track. Eight thousand
would be a liberal estimate OF the number
of people who saw the great event. The
field was the largest ever started in .

race was we'll backed he carried tile bulk

mittec on rules, and o debate followed.
An animated discussion over the rules was
had between Speaker Crisp and ex-
Speaker Reed, the latter criticising the
report. For the first time this session tho
speaker took tho floor, having called
Richardson OF Tennessee TO the chair, and
replied 60 the criticisms of the gentleman
from Maine. At times the debate was
somewhat personal, and each speaker
received the plaudits of his party frends
Reed argued in favor of the rights of
the majority, as firmly maintained IN the
Fiity-tirst congress. lie criticised tho
provision of the rules which, ho claimed,
vested the committee on rules with au-
thoriiy which shouid be vested in tho
speaker. Why not adopt rules giving tho
majority control and taking away from
the filibustcrer the opportunity to stop the
consideration of q measure.
Crisp said many of the rules of the fif-
ty-iirst congress were to be commended;
many others had been condemned by the
country. Among the actions OF the Fifty
first congress which were odious TO the
country WAS arbitrary, hiGh-hauded ac-
tion on the part OF the speaker without
authority. rules or anything else. The
speaker assumed tho power to count n
quorum and he Reed had claimed that
the supreme court justified his course.
This was not SO; the supreme court said
that the house had right to mako its own
rules; but 1t never said the speaker
should make them. The system adopted
by the Fitty-second congress and now re-
adopted was to maintain, not the individ-
ual judgment Of the chair. but the judg-
ment of the majority of the
house. Dilatory motions would bc
avoided, for the house had the power to
reach that result by n report from the
committee on rules. lie ,CrispI preferred
the approval of the people here present to
the approval OF n man who believed he
had righ, TO exercise all the power and
claimed that in SO doing he permitted the
ma ajority to rule. The gentleman from
Maine (Rccdl arroyantly asserted that the
Fifty-iirs, congress should be regarded as
an example that should bc followed by all
congresses. lie Crisp felt, rs the pco.
plc Of the country felt, that the Fiity-arst
congress was a usurpation that ought to
be rcpudiatcd.
Reed in reply regretted that the speaker
left his position To take part in u discus
sion on the hoor and Introduced into the
debate partisanship. This was n public
question. He believed the policy of the
Fifiy-ilrst congress had received the APP
proval Of the supreme court. lie regretted
that the democrats merely adop; cd half

no thought they were on tho road 10
