Two Houses Are Organized, One by Pop

TOPEKA, Jan. 1O.-No rioting attended
the meeting OF the Kansas legislature
this morning. The joint meeting of the
Populist, Republican and Democratic
central committees were held this morn
ing, when it was decided to admit all pro-
vided with certificates of election to both
houses and members of the press.

number fifty -seven, but claim that those
members whose seats were contested
have no right to participate in the pre-

The Republicans organized with ma
iority and will doubtless be upheld by the
courts if matters go so far. The session is
limited by statute to fifty days, and the
Republicans say they will hold the fort all
that time, if necessary, to carry their
point. The governor has not as yet re-
cognized either house. He received

Democracy of the Empire State
Agree Upon a Candidate.
HIS NAME is MURPHY.
Eighty-Fire of The Ninety Votes in
Caucus Cast For Him.
Bourl1e Cochrane's Name Is Mentioned,
But 1t Was Without Authority,
However, He Received
Five Votes.

ALBANY, n. Y, Jan. 10.-The assembly,
chamber was filled with Democrats of
high and low degree from all quarters of
the state tonight when the Democratic
members of the senate and assembly met
in joint caucus to fix upon candidate to
succeed United States Senator Frank His
cock. All the Democratic senators and
assemblymen were present with one ex-
csption. Senator Canton arose, and after
congra5nlating the members on being in
a position to elect a Democratic senator,
he formally presented the name of Hon.
Edward Murphy, ir., of Troy for the sem
atcrial nomination. At the menAon OF
Murphy's name the audience began clap
ping their hands, but this soon gave way
to cheering which was kept up for several
minutes.
Assemblyman William NJ. Keenan, of
nomination in a speech eulogistic of the
candidate.
Mr.. Quigley of Brooklyn said since
Edward Murphy, jr., was the choice of
the unterrified and intrepid Democracy,
with great pleasure he seconded the nom
ination
Senator McClelland then made a speech.
He said in this day and generation the
Democratic party has greater interests at
stake than the spoils of Office. 1t stands
for principle and was committed to spe-
cific reforms in the interests of the people.
He then stated that he would cast his vote
for Hon. Bourke Cochrane, who he be-
lieved was the choice of even-tenths of
the Democracy of New York
Senator Brown seconded Cochrane's
nomination in stirring speech. Several
other speakers followed and then Senator
Canton read the following telegram dated
Washington, Jan. 10, TO William F.
Sheehan: 'sIf my name is mentioned in
caucus / beg you to say / am not a can
didate for the office of senator, and
nobody has authority to present my
name' w. Bourke Cochrane.
Ballotting then commenced, the sena-
torial roll call showing that all senator's
voted for Murphy except two who voted
for Cochrane. On the roll call of the as
sembly all but three voted for Murphy.

THE MONTANA CONTEST.
Leech, the Republican Contestant from
ChOteau County, Is Seated.
This Action Was Brought About Through
the Aid of the Populists-A
Ballot for Senator.

HELENA, Mon, Jan. 10.-[Special.l j
The Republicans, with the aid of the
Populists, today gave Eugene Leech
seat in the house from Choteau county.
The matter came up after ballot for
United States senator on motion to that
effect from the Republican side. The
Democrats moved to adjourn to stave off
the motion, but the vote on that motion
showed only 26 for it and q against. One
Populist voted with the Democrats and
two OF them with the Republicans. The
Democrats then began to fight for delay
in order to get Davidson, the sick mem
Der into the hall. He was unable to be
moved, however, and after a stubborn
contest the house decided by yeas q, nays
e to seat Leech. Two Populists again
voted with the Republicans and one with
the Democrats. Leech was sworn in. and
the house now stands Democrats, 26; Re
publicans, 20; Populists, 8,
In the vote on senator today the Re
publicans voted solidly for Sanders, who
was decided on at the caucus late last
night. The Democrats split up, not hav-
ing agreed on any candidate. Two sena-
tors, one Republican and one Democrat,
were paired, SO the vote in the senate
stood, w. F. Sanders, Republican, 6;
W. A. Clark, Democrat, 4; W. w. Dixon,
Democrat, 2; S. T. Hauser, Democrat, 1;
Martin Maginnis, Democrat, 1. The vote
in the house stood: Sanders %, Clark 1,
Dixon 6, Hauser 5, Sam Mulville, Popu-
list, 8; Maginnis 1, R. B. Smith 1.
had of ted La f1,af If
he had his vote would have brought San
ders to within two votes Of majority of
those present, which would have elected
him. A ballot will be taken in Joint ses-
sion tomorrow.
The Democrats are dismayed at the
action of the two Populists today in vot-
ing with the Republicans to seat Leech
and profess to see in it twenty eight votes
in favor of seating other Republicans who
are talking of contesting seats in the
house, and thus giving the Republicans
majority on joint ballot. The two Popu-
lists who went to the Republicans, how
ever, declare they will not vote to unseat
any more Democrats. If they adhere TO
this resolution, the Democrats, with the
aid of one Populist who stood by them to-
day, will have twenty seYen votes in the
house, which, with nine Democrats in
the senate, Will give them thirty six on
joint ballot, enough to elect United
States senator.
The Populists declare their only idea is
to hold the balance of power in the house.
Relative to strength, several Democratic
aspirants said, that Clark's sixteen
votes in the house today was the limit Of
his strength, and that the battle is be-
tween Hansen and dark horse.

WYOMING LEGISLATURE.
The House is ORGANIZED in just Four Min.
utes-A Tilt in the Senate.

The House is Organized in just Four Min
utes-A Tilt in the Senate.
CHEYENNE, Wy, Jan. 1O.-[Special. J.
The Wyoming legislature organized at
noon today with tilt in both houses.
In the senate Secretary of State Barber
called the body to order, when Senator
Kabis, Democrat, objected, and moved
that the body be organized by the cleo
ton of Montel as temporary chairman, ,
1T lie was voted down. Barber called
the roll, and Mccormick, Republican,
was elected temporary president. The
senase seated Tisdale, Republican of
john county, one of the invaders on
trl;sl for murder in the district court.
II the house the Democrats and Popu-
lists combined and effected an organiza-
ton in exactly four minutes. Secretary
Barber attempted to call the roll. but the
fusionists elected temporary speaker
and proceeded to business. Bak er, the
Democrat counted out in Converse county,
was seated, thus giving the Democrats
and Populists seven majority in the house
and one majority on joint ballot. In the
house organization the Populists get the
speaker, chief clerk and a number of
minor offices.
Governor Osborne's message will be de-
Iiyered tomorrow, and voting on the SEN
atorship commenced two weeks from to-
day. The proceedings in the legislature
allayed the senatorship fight and very
little canvassing was done by candidates

THE SENATE.
The Immigration Bill is Passed without
Division.

WASHINGTON, Jan. lin the Senate
this morning the quarantine bill was
taken up. Mr. Whites amendment that
all provisions of the act shall expire jan
uary, 1895 was rejected. The bill was then
reported to the Senate from the committee
of the whole and all amendments were
concurred in. Further amendments Of
fered by Messrs. Gray and Villas were re-
jected.
Mr.. Palmer of Illinois, moved to amend
the seventh section by striking out the
words Eesuspend immigration'' and in
serting the words "Prohibit in whole or
property This was agreed to without
division and the section as amended was
agreed to. The bill then passed without
division.
MIR. Chandler of New Hampshire said
he would allow the special order as to the
bill prohibiting immigration one year to
lapse, but he would bring it up at an
early day.
The anti-options bill was then taken up
and Mr.. Villas read the second part of his
argument against it. The passage of the
bill, he declared, would be an attempted
violation of The constitution and an en-
croachment on the right of the states and
on the interests of the people. At the
close of his speech vote was taken on the
amendment offered by Mr.. White to strike
out the last proviso to section 2. No
quorum was present and the Senate adj
iourned.

THE CURRENCY QUESTION.
Report of the House Banking and
Currency Committee.
THE CATE AMENDMENT.
The Sherman Silver Bullion Purchase
Act Will Be Repealed.
1t viii Be Pushed in the House,
but There Is Doubt as to the
Committees Ability to Bring
1t to Vote

WASHINGTON, Jan. Representative
Cate of Arkansas, has prepared the report
of the majority to accompany the Sher-
man silver bullion purchase repeal bill
agreed upon by the House committee on
banking and currency yesterday. 1t as
serts "that the circulation will be in
creased between sis, OO0, 900 and $3.50 900
by the first section of the bill which pro-
vides that national banks may issue bills
to the par value of bonds deposited. The
committee submit the repeal of the bull
lion purchase clause of the Sherman act
with no other comments than that the ex
perience of the past two years has demon
strated.
'sThe policy entered upon at the time
of its passage has failed to afford substan-
tial benefit to any one, and its continu-
ance is a menace to the prosperity of the
country. The committee realize that its
proposition will stop an increase of the
circulating medium by the issue of treas
ury notes in the purchase of silver, but
the first section of the bill furnishes a
large increase of circulation and one
which in its. opinion is much safer and
more likely to supply the needs of the
country at large.
f.The committee also believe the cessa-
ton OF all silver purchases by the govern
ment will not merely efficiently aid in
the effort to reach an international agree
ment fixing the ratio of gold and silver
for coinage purposes throughout the
civilized world, but that such legislation
as it proposes is prerequisite to reaching
an International agreement
| With respect to the CaJe amendment
providing for the coinage of silver bull
| lion now in the treasury into dollars, the
report says: HThis will also furnish con
siderable increase to the circulating
medium"
Friends of the Andrew Cate banking
and silver repeal bill are confident they
can get it up in the House for considera-
ton, but are in doubt as to their ability
to bring it to a vote. They expect a
special order from the rules committee
giving the bill day in the House.

THAT CATHOLIC CONTROVERSY.
A New and Interesting Phase on the
School Question.

A New and Interesting Phase on the
School Question.
WAsH1NeToNs Jan. 1o.-The important
controversy on the Catholic and public
school question has assumed a new and
interesting phase. The fact can be stated
on authority that the pope through Mon
seignor Satolli has taken the Catholic
bishops of the United States into consul
tation on the question. 1t is announced
that a mandate from the pope calls on
each of the bishops to send sealed letter
to him either directly, or through Satolli,
with his personal conscientious opinion of
the propositions on the school question
which Satolli, in the pope's name, laid
before the New York conference of arch
bishops in November last. The mandate
does not suggest, however, that there is a
LIKELIHOOD of the pope changing his views
on the question.
