KNIGHT HOLDS THE KEY
To the Senatorial Deadlock in
Badgerdom.

MILWAUKEE. Jan. 21.-There is prac-
tically no change in the senatorial sit
uation. Many members of the legisla-
ture are in this city tonight, or
were here during the day Oh their
way home for Sunday. The abund-
ant and thoroughly organized forces of
Congressman Mitchell did their best to
make hay for him while the sunshine of
legislative faces was at hand. The
migrating members were well cared
for and pumped full of the i'm
portance of supporting MIR. Mitchell
when the caucus again convenes
Monday night. Mr.. Mitchell and
his friends are confident of success.
Again, Gen. Bragg's forces are no less
active in all parts of the state, and rural
district members who are undecided in
their support of him are being showed
under with kilograms and other appeals
from their constituents urging them to
support Gen. Bragg. The contestants
and their friends profess about equal
confidence, each protesting certainty
victory.
All freely admit that Col. Knight
holds the key to the situation in the
eighteen members who have sworn al
legiance to him to the end. Would he
I6lGdSc lllS lOllOWluS uIlC ndUlCl VI q
caucus nomination would be no more
certain, in the point of who would
be the winner, would be no nearer
solved than it is now. Mitchell
and Bragg each claim that ma
jority OF Col. Knights followers would
come into his camp. Col. Knight
is not known to have yet expressed a
preference for either of his contestants,
and declares that he will not. If forced
to choice between them he would be
in a serious dilemma, as he has nothing
| to expect from either. That the settle
ment of the question will go to the leg.
islature next Tuesday seems highly
probable, which is generally regarded
as most advantageous to Gen. Bragg.

To Strike q Blow at the Present
Government.
LONDON, Jan. 21.-Jules Guesde, the
leader of the French Socialists, has to-
day allowed himself to be interviewed
again as to the ultimate eff ect of the
Panama scandal. He had felt the pulse
of the Socialists throughout the country.
Letters from the provincial leaders con-
corning the necessity of popular up
rising to clean out the rOttenneSS of the
government, stated that from the Me-
diterranean to the English channel the
people of the cities were ready to strike.
Their organization is perfect, and
they are prepared to act as one man."
continued Guesde. "Only here IN Paris
do the masses hesitate. They are con-
flu sed by the contradictory cries of OPP
portunists, the mOnarchists and the roy
alists, who are trying to hide their fears
by causing general confusion and mis-
understanding. The moment Paris
says: Il am ready; follow me- the doom
of the present government is sealed.
We will sweep the country, and pro-
claim new order of justice and equal
ity, in which monarchists. republicans,
royalists and socialists VIII fare alike.
Today all things are sOld-IabOr, labor
ers, women, honor and life. Only by
crushing out the whole system can we
save ourselves from the recurrence,
perhaps in year OF in two years, of
this present carnival of corruption"

BISMARCK. n. d., Jan. 21.-Two bal
lots were taken for senator today with
but slight changes from previous bal
lots. The end seems no nearer now
than at the beginning. The field is
against Casey. and, as Casey has ma
jorlty of the Republicans, the minority
refuse to go into caucus unless Casey
will withdraw. 1t is practically game
of freeZe-out, and Casey's friends are
resenting it with much earnestness.
The Republicans have agreed to line
of action, however. They will elect
Republican If 1t takes q month. Thew
will ballot only ONCE or twice each
day and then go on with the
regular order of business. The Demo-
Gratis and Populists i'm the meantime
will strive to widen the breach between
the Republican leaders, with view of
finally uniting one of the factions with
them. and thus electing Democrat.
The seventeenth. the last ballot today,
resulted: Casey, Is; Worst, s; Smith,
8; Kingman, Z; Anderson, 6: Roach, 10;
Muir, 16: Day, 3. The Grand Forks
Democrats and several others voted for
Anderson, with the evident intention
of securing a number of Republican
votes for Benton. The legislature dis
solved after the ballot by a vote of 81 to
30. 1t was expected that the Grand
Forks county Republicans would go to
Roach's help on the next ballot.
In the house today the bill reducing

gross earnings may be considered in ar

He devoured everything he could pro-
cure on the subject Of balloons and their
management; even Mr.. Maxim, the great
inventor sent the boy pamphlets trans

Tom spent his spare time constructing
an acroplane He had examined all the
models Of the elongated cigar-shaped
balloon. and in his boyish conceit pro-
nounced every model faulty. He worked
steadily at his own small models, but
allowed no one to examine them.
