coACHERs FROM RIVAL CITIES

OLYMPIA, Jan. 24-One week ago to-
day the legislature began balloting for
United States senator, and so for as
surface indications are concerned the
result is as much in doubt this morn
ing as it was in the beginning. The
Turner forces are apparently intact.
Judging from the actions Of the Demo
Gratis and Populists these two elements
in the contest have come to the conclu-
sion that they will continue to act as
mere legislative figureheads for their
constituents. They will accomplish
nothing by their policy, either in the
senatorial fight or in future legislation.
All the members were present at the
call of the roll of the joint session. The
twenty-seventh ballot showed not the
slightest change from the last ballot of
yesterday. Allen received 81 votes,
Turner 25, Griggs 27, Teats 8. The
twenty-eighth ballot was the same as
the twenty-seventh.
Over 100 residents of Tacoma have ar
rived in Olympia within the past
twenty-four hours. They are heard on
every hand shouting for Turner and
damning Allen, Seattle, "the ditch.'
A movement is on foot among the lead
ing Republicans of Seattle to get up a
counter delegation to go to Olympia
and work i'm the interests of John B.
! Allen. The movement had not sufli-
Lot. ait.lfs ut gffs -
afternoon to give details, but it is eX
pected that something will be done
this evening.
Corporation Counsel Donworth ar
rived on this mornings train. He will
remain here for few days i'm the in
terests of the passage of legislation
favored at the recent meeting of the
mayors and corporation council Of Sc
attle, Spokane and Tacoma. He will
endeavor to advance on the calendar
the bill giving the right of eminent do
main to cities of the first-class.
In the senate this morning the COM
mittee on municipal corporations re-
ported favorably senate bill 26, to vail
date the Indebtedness of cities and
towns in excess of the Il per cent
limit.
