Chicago, Jan. 27.-There was an ap-
preciable moderation of the tempera-
ture in Chicago today, but zero wealth
er and below was the best that could
be had, and The same is promised for
tomorrow The record for continuous
temperature below zero for this city
was broken by a run of 81 consecutive
hours from 1 a. m. Jan. q to l p. m.
today, at which hour the zero mark
was officially recorded on the audi
tOrium tower. During the previous L
hours of the day the thermometer had
ranged between 4 and l below zero.
At 2 o'clock this afternoon 1 degree
above zero was welcomed and the same
temperature continued for three hours.
Then zero weather and below returned
with the prospect of colder weather
tomorrow. Snow fell lightly all day
and into the night, being driven hy
a wind which made the fine snow a
source of great discomfort. Drifts
caused the snOwplOws and street clean
ing wagons TO reappear.
The police continued their effective
work of providing instant temporary
relief TO the thousands in want. Twice
as manS cases were attended to as
on yesterday, the total number of per-
sons given food, clothing and fuel be-
ing estimated at 10000. The letter. car
riers are aiding the police in finding
the deserving cases in their districts.
The mayors fund now amounts to $780,

urer alone. Many thousands of dollars

Chicago, Jan. 27.-All the sports of
after reading the report OF the intro
duction of a bill favoring prize fight
ing in the Nevada general assembly.
The sentiment in Nevada seems TO
be favorable to holding the Corbett-
Fitzsimmons fight there, and the pos
sibility of pulling off the mill undis-
turbed brought comfort to the sports.
All manner of gossip was INDUCED in,
and both Corbett and George Siler, who
is to referee the fight, were asked
numerous questions concerning it. Any
place is satisfactory to Corbett, and he
is gratified at the prospect of going
to Nevada to fight, as he has all along
said the trip to Mexico, if the fight
were to be held there, would necessi-
tate becoming acclimated, and might
have an enervating effect upon the
fighters.
George Siler refused TO commit him

Corbett trained yesterday in his usual
manner, playing handball and running.
He is improving in condition every day,
he says and is quick as lightning in
his movements. This, he said is aided
by his practice at such games as hand
ball and racquets.

Especial to The Herald,

Boise, Ida, Jan. 27.-Once more Sen
ator Dubois and his friends, by a
mighty effort, have prevented the cleo
ton of one of the opposition, when two
caucuses, representing a majority of the
legislature, had agreed to support him.
Today. it was confidently expected
that Henry Heitfeld would be elected
senator. Last night, the Populists
caucus declared for him and this morn
ing the Democratic caucus took SINH
lar action, but before the joint session
the Dubois men succeeded in arousing
Two or three Democrats to the point of
threatening to. bolt, whereupon the
Democrats reconsidered and cast their
ballots for Nelson again. So fearful
were the Dubois men that they forced
the only Democrat they could control
into voting. for Dubois at that time in
order TO impress upon the other Demo-
Gratis that there was imminent danger
of a break in the Democratic caucus.
1t is learned that Heitfeld is Clagett's
man, and it is believed that the
pressure on the Democrats will be so
great that some Populist with chances
IN favor of Heitfeld) will be elected be-
fore the end of the week The vote TO-
day was: Dubois (silver Rep.), 81;
Heitfeld Pop.), %; Nelson (Pop), 10;
DR.. w. w. Watkins (Rep), 1.
There were several surprises at the
joint session. Randolph (Pop.), refused
fatty TO vote for Heitfeld. and gave his
vote to Nelson, while Elder Oem),
voted for Heitfeld When the name of
Representative Clawson. the venerable
Democratic member from Blaine, was
reached, he rose and said with great
elaboration:
I'm Difference to the wishes of
great many of my constituents I cast
my vote for Bon. Fred T. Dubois
For moment a tomb-like silence
pervaded the chamber, and then from
the threats of Dubois men in the gall
lery and on the floor. burst cheers that
the gavel of the presiding officer failed
to restrain.
Tonight everything looks favorable |
to Heitfeid. A Dubois man said to-
night; 1T looks decidedly squally for |
u.s.
In the house today the bill prohibit
ing deficiency judgments in foreclosures
was favorably acted on in committee
of the whole. This action has raised |
a howl of rage among the money lend |
ers.

south Dakota Panges-

Yankton, S. D.. Jan. 27.-Reports are
meager from the cattle ranges of this
state. The losses along the Missouri
river will be heavy. The weather in
that section has ranged from zero to
So degrees below ever since last Fri
day. The snow is the deepest for many
years and cattle are able to find grass
only in such exposed places as the
ground has been blown bare OF snow.
Worse still, the streams are frozen
solid and the ranchmen have TO break
through the ice every day to enable
their cattle to secure water. 1t is
feared that the losses in that section
will run from 20 10 % per cent. The
mortality among sheep is much great
er and may reach 80 per cent.

It should say Henderson" hastily
exclaimed Mr.. Kimball, apparently
much confused, and the assembly in
dulged in a hearty laugh. He subse-
quently explained that another lem-
Der was talking to him about Moses
Thatcher when his name was called
and he absently repeated the same
name.
Mr.. Dotson. at the close of the 30th
ballot, declared he was tired of such a
waste of time and moved that there
after the joint assembly take one. two
or three ballots each day and devote
the remainder of the time to legislative
business
4 recollect.' said Mr.. Dotson, that
when l was a boy Henry Clay ran for
president, but he was so eminent that
he could not be elected. James CT.
Blaine was such an eminent statesman
that he could not be elected president.
1t seems that the three men we are
now voting for are so eminent chat we
cannot elect any of them"
Senator Evans warned the assembly
against tying itself down by rule
that would not permit more than three
ballots a day, except by a two-thirds
vote. They should not bring about
such a condition as would enable a
minority to control the legislature. 1t
might become highly desirable to take
more than three ballots. No man
knows" said he. mot even the angels
know what might happen"
The proposition was defeated.
When the result of the 31st ballot
was announced Senator Hamer, with
an air of resignation, moved that the
secretary of the senate and the chief
clerk of the house be instructed to cast
a dozen more ballots of the joint as
seulbly the same way, and that the
assembly then dissolve.
Upon Senator Shoots motion the
hour of meeting today was fixed at
11:50, after Mr.. Robinson had offered
an amendment DostDoning the date to
1901. He confessed later that he was
INDUCING in the wild dream that the
Republicans might be in control four
years hence.
The joint assembly then dissolved.
The vote still stands as follows:
Thatcher, %; Rawlins, IS; Henderson,
IA; Warren Foster, 4; Cannon, 8; Pow
erS, l: absent l.

DARK HORSE RUMORs.
ONLY TWO BALLOTS.
Joint Assembly Convinced That
Deadlock is Now On.

Each member of the joint assembly
was disguised yesterday when it was
shown that no other member had SEN
sibly concluded TO change his mind
on the senatorial question. The sup
porters of each candidate do not think
it possible TO elect any but their own
man. and believe that those who hold
| out against him are unreasonable and
ftoolish. When the first ballot yester-
'day demonstrated that THERE was no
change and no prospect of an election.
the assembly yielded to despair and
quickly adjourned Cor the day
The ballots taken were the Both and
3lst, which made IA successive ballots
without change. There was some un-
certainty concerning the course that
would be taken by Representative Cal
lis, but his vote indicated that he
had decided to remain by Rawlins The
Populists voted for Warren Foster and
the Republicans stuck by George NJ
Cannon as tenaciously as though there
were possibility of his election
When the name of Joseph KimbaH
was called on the first ballot, that
Henderson member created a profound
sensation By deliberately announcing
the honorable Moses Thatcher"

Ransom, fusionist of Omaha, calling Oh

on the resolution was long and at times
bitter. Senator Ransom was strong in
his denunciation of Thurston, and Sen
atOr Talbot, w. J. Bryan's law partner,
was equally pointed in his attack on
Ransom, whom he intimated had de-
serted for mess of pottage the party
which had lifted him from obscurity
He warmly defended Thurston, as did
other Republican members.
