BOISE, Jan. 26.-The Populists in the
Legislature to-day returned to their
first choice for Senator, and were joined
by four Democrats in voting for Clag-
gett. Two ballots were taken, the first
resulting in Claggett receiving %, Du-
bois 20, Nelson Pop.) y. scattering >.
Second ballot: Claggett 81, Dubois 2G,
Nelson u.
The answer sent by sixteen of the
eighteen Democratic members of the
Legislature to Chairman Jones of the
National Democratic Committee, in
which they absolutely refuse to accede
TO Jones request that they throw their
strength to Dubois, has proved very
discouraging to the Dubois contingent,
as without Democratic aid Dubois can
not be elected. 1t looks like a deadlock
for an indefinite period, unless the Dem
Ocrats recede from their determination
not to vote for Claggett That]they may
do so at any time is, however, one of
the possibilities. 1t is the impression to-
night that an effort Will be made to-
morrow TO elect Lewis, Populist.
IN UTAH.
SALT LAKE CITY, Jan. 26.-Twelva
ballots for United States Senator were
taken in the Utah Legislature to-day.
without an election. The result of the
first was: Thatcher Cd %, Rawlins
Cd Is, Henderson Cd IA, Lawrence
Pop.) 4, Holbrook (R.) 3, Powers Cd i.
The succeeding eleven ballots made no
change whatever on the Thatcher. Raw
Inns Henderson and Powers vote the
supporters of each standing pat on
every ballot. In the last few ballots the
four PopuP lists voted for James Hogan
and the three Republicans for George
NJ. Cannon.
1t is claimed the four Populists and
one of the Republicans will go to
Thatcher when their votes become nee
essary to make the thirty-two required
to elect. The balloting will be resumed
in the morning, with what results it is
impossible to predict.
IN WASHINGTON.

ture this morning the sixteenth ballot

day, resulted as follows: Turner 30.

When the result was announced Cline
made a speech full of feeling. He said
he released all from the promises made
to him and cast his vote for Winsor. The
Legislature adjourned. A caucus will
be held before the next ballot is taken.
DEADLOCK IN OREGON.
SALEM, Jan. 26-The regular House
temporary was called to order this
morning at $50 by Speaker Davis.
After calling the roll the House ad-
journed until tomorrow morning.
AT 10 a. m. thirty-one members an
swered Benson's roll-call and proceeded
to transact business in a perfunctory
manner the entire proceedings being
regarded as a farce. Adjournment was
taken for lunch and an afternoon ses-
sion held.
Morning and afternoon sessions were
also indulged in by the Senate, but that
body positively refuses to recognize
either faction OF the Assembly. There is
no immediate hope that the election of
n United States Senator will be accom-
plished during the present session.
