WASHINGTON. March 2l.-No other state
in the union presents q more complicated
office seeking situation than Montana.
With the arrival OF w. A. Clark and one of
his managers. Chairman Kenyon, OF the
state committee, and others, every faction
is now represented on tho ground. There
IL the Clark faction. the DAILY faction, the
Hauser faction, and an independent fac
tion. The candidates for Office in Montana
are very numerous 1. Is understood that
Clark. who arrived tonight with his con-
tinRent. has practically made up a slate
and intends to put il through. He thinks
there will be little or nc opposition. The
DAILY interest, represented by Editor Durs-
ton, of the Anaconda Standard, ia making
itg main fight for Matts for district attor-
ney. 1t seems that the recent order of
Secretary Smith, revokinQ contracts for
cutting timber, treats severely with the
DAILY interests in the Bitter Root country,
and it is thought that If the right kind of a
district attorney is selected the prosecu-
tions will not be very serious.
Owing to the fight that is being waged
among the factions here il is probable that
the president will take his own time to
make Montana appointments. II Is gen.
orally understood that Daily will fail In
having Mats appointed. as the opposition
against him will be very strong.

L1TcHFIELD. ILL.,, March 21.-The most
frightful calamity in the history of this
city occurred at an early hour this morning
and resulted in t. loss of nearly a million
dollars worth Of property and number Of
lives practically wrecking half Of the town
and damaging property for miles around.
Shortly after o'clock this morning frs

Touring mills, the largest of their kind in
the world located in the southwest part of
the city. The fire department. had scarcely
arrived on the scene when en- explosion OF
terrific violence shook the earth for miles
around, the shock being felt even as far as
Decatur. fifty miles distant. 1t broke the
plate-glaas windows in a majority of the
stores in the city, prostrated almost every
one on the street. shook houses loose from
their foundations. Jared the machinery in
the Litchdeid car and machine shops to
such extent that work had to be suspended
till the necessary repairs can be made.
1t is supposed that the fire oriQi mated
from spark from a passing locomotive
and the subsequent explosion was caused
by the flames coming in contact with an
accumulation of mill dust. It looked at
one time as il she entire south end Of the

pinned there and burned to-death, his
limbs being burned off.

knowledge of men and the canvass there
are ut least six men who were counted in. l

for the last two years to contribute $4,000
year to the republican party of Kansas
In the late campaign told him if he would
lend me $4,000 l would buy paper and l
would get him protection from these de-
mands. Kline liked the idea, so did the
whisky men.
Meanwhile the men with whom had
canvassed the state came in and told mo
they would get eight or ten republican
members of the house to vote with the
populists on organization. l wanted to
pay the men and told Pete Kline wansed
the populist party. He gave me check
for SO. 600. and paid the men. Ny judq-
ment il that it cost the rail- Dads
$4,000 to get those four men to sign
for Douglass. Later on Judge Doster
told me thres democrats would 90 into the
populist house as soon as three republicans
would make q break. / had sent word to
Kline before that WAS going to get q bill

Legate explained thar he paid 81, 500 to
some men to secure three republicans to
vote with the populists. Tho democrats,
however. would not join the movement.
Failing to get the republicans to break. he
sought to get the populists into the repub-
lican house. but the railroads interfered.
