Frank Walton is editor of the Pocatello
Advance. He came very near election, if
reports concerning the democratic eau
Gus are correct. 1t is said the caucus
came within one vote of naming him,
which would have insured his election.
One democrat, Elder of Latah voted for
Clagett on each ballot. Fem voted for
Bierbower and Rigby again cast his bal
lot for johnson.
At the caucus this afternoon the popu-
lists named J. w. Ballantine of Blaine
to receive their votes tomorrow. The
democrats have been in caucus this even
ing but the result has not yet leaked out
1t is rumored that they have been plan
ming to cast their vote for some weak
man put up by the populists for the pur-
pose of disclosing alleged insincerity on
the part of the populists If this is done,
it will probably result in an election, as
the popuists will scarcely desert their
man, as is supposed by the authors of
the scheme.
1t is announced that r. z. Johnson has
come out for Dubois. He is regarded as
one of the foremost democrats of the
state and is a candidate himself in the
event of there being a chance for dem
that the democrats might go to Angel in
the event of his again being put up by
the popuists. The pull among the dem
ocIatic leaders outside of the legislature
is very strong for Dubois but far it
has been impossible to make an impress
sion.
Governor Steunenberg is credited with
being the most powerful factor in pre-
venting democratic accessons to the Du-
hoiS column.
Legislative Action.
In the senate today bill was passed
penalties on delinquent taxes for 1896. A
long Wrangle over printing senate bills
was brought to a close in a most peculiar
manner The committee had made a
contract with the populist paper for $1.50
a page though much lower bids had been
received, some as low as $1.15. The senate
refused to ratify the contract, the COM
mittee resigned and q new one was APP
pointed with instructions to let the con-
tract go to the lowest bidder. Today the
new committee reported that the attor-
ney general had advised that it was the
moral duty of the senate to adhere to the
original contract, and the report was
adopted.
Dubois today received dispatch signed
by the lieutenant governor and speaker
of the Colorado house announcing the
vote for Teller there.

Counsel for the Prince Asks for "a
Decree SYitssusat Further, Ado.
Charleroi, France Jan. 19-In the De
Chimay divorce case today the counsel
read letters written by the princess to
be1 husband in which she offered to go
into Carmelite convent for five years,
from whence, the princess adds, she
would return purified to the domestic
hearth.
The prince replied from Paris, saying
he was going to Cfmay. and that he did
not want to see her counsel.
The counsel continued that on the fol-
lowing day the princess, accompanied by
Rigo supped at the Ambassador cafe
chantant with a man and a woman, and
the princess made a scene with the wo-
man. who1l she accused of an after -pt
to steal her lover.
For the sake Of the children, the coun-
sci then said the prince hoped the court
would not require proof by witnesses, as
the notoriety of the scandal and the atti-
tude of the princess since the beginning OF
the suit proved the principal charge, viz,
her flight with Rigo.
Maitre Allain, for the defense, did not
deny the principal fact, but contended
that all the accessory evidence was false
or greatly exaggerated.
Counsel asked the court not to be intill-
enced by the "atrocious accusation that
the princess had abandoned her children
without regret.
The counsel for the prince also said:
"All Europe would laugh if the court
REQUIRED testimony in this case
The decision will be rendered in a fort
night, but according to general opinion
it is believed that the court will grant
an absolute divorce without hearing any
testimony.

N THE MONTANA LEGISLATURE
Friends of the Initiative and Refer
ensium il. High Glee.

Helena, Jan. 19-The friends of the in
yesterday in the house of representatives
and claimed this evening that they would
push their measure through the house
by vote Of at least 43 to q, that being
the showing made on a vote that was
taken on motion to adjourn when the in
ltlatlVe and referendum bill was one of
the next orders on the file The motion
was defeated, and the house proceeded to
its work, but consideration Of the eight
hour law consumed the afternoon, and
the committee of the whole did not reach
the initiative and referendum, which is
now second on the list, however, and will
be taken up today in all probability. The
eight hour day on public works was con-
sidered all day, and finally passed the
house.
The friends of the initiative and refer
endum are also claiming that they will
have a victory in the senate. They as
sert that they have strength enough to
carry their point, and they decided to-
night at caucus of various interests
that they would stand together to secure
the proposition of consideration of other
measures, among them the Broadwater
county division BILL until next month"; so
that they can be used as a weapon Of
compulsion over the heads of the friends
Of these measures in the senate, the house
promising not to take the subjects pro-
posed up again until the bills passed up
to the senate from the house have been
taken care of.
The situation tonight looks perplexing
to some and embarrassing to others.
The house also took care Of three dozen
new bills, the major portion of which
were introduced by the committee on ap
preparations, covering the deficiency ere
ated in the various departments of the
state government during the two years
past, aggregating $32S69.
The governor sent in a message accom-
panying the ultimate estimates made by
the officials of the various state inst
tutions. They aggregate $16S,S63 and do
not include the insane asylum and pen-
tentiary, which are private contracts. The
estimates, he said, would have to be cut
down materially before they would be
within the ability of the state to pay
them, but he left it to the wisdom of
the legislature to determine where the re-
ductions should be made.
An anti-gambling bill, prohibiting bank
ing games, but silent as to "round table
games,'' was introduced, and also bills to
provide a tax on excess of premiums paid
insurance companies, the receipts to be
paid organized fire companies in cities
and towns and to create board OF fire
examiners to examine mine inspectors.

THE CZAR SUFFERS FROM VERTIGO.
Great Importance Attached to
DisDatsh From st. Petersburg.

London, Jan. 18.-In official circles here
and on the continent the greatest i'm
portance is attached to a dispatch from
St. Petersburg yesterday announcing that
Dr. Bergman, the eminent German spe-
cialist has been summoned to perform an
operation on the car to prevent the pos
sible extension of q slight osseous ex-
crescence which has appeared on his cram
ium at the place where he was struck by
a Japanese fanatic in 1891. This, COM
bined with overwork, has caused the czar
to suffer from vertigo for some time past.
The fact that such news was allowed to
be sent abroad shows the gravity of the
situation. The car received his wound
while making tour of the world with
Prince George of Greece, who, by knock
ing his assailant down, saved his com
panion from further and possibly more
serious injury.

American GirPs Revolt.

There is more in this case than a mere
rich woman's infatuation for a poor
stroller. 1t is revolt against the prac-
tce of marrying off American girls to
titled foreigners. 1.-The American mother
stands condemned wrote Monsieur q Ar
eenteuil. the famous Paris literateur, the
other day "She is the one to feel asham-
ed of this sad display Of passion by a
woman who is young enough to be called
a girl The Americans will judge this
unfortunate young woman more harshly
than would we. They look only at the
overt act of elopement. We take into
consideration the girls environment and
the influence in her home life, and then
temper our judgment with pity. Are not
the American girls sold to titles? Is the
Anglo-Saxon blood too pure for that?
