ton Of the right of former Senator Quay.

announced his appearance for the Demo-
cratic members Of the Pennsylvania legis-
lature, ana that he had also associated
with him James A. Stranahan. In the
course OF his opening argument Mr.. FL
Mn .contended that a sovereign state was
u AL times entitled to full representation
ID the senate. according to the spirit and
letter Of ths constitution.
The intention Of the trainers OF the con-
etitution was to keep the representation Of
each Btate complete, and he maintained
that the governor having authority to APP
point . senator to MI q vacancy caused by
death. resignation. disqualification or ex-
pulslon. had also full power to appoint, In
to elect He held that the failure OF the
Iegisiature to perform Its duty ought not
and could not operate to the states dis
advantage In the senate

Hampton L. Carson. MI. Carson presented
m elaborate constitutional argument
against the seating Of Mr.. Quay. He main
tAined 1t was iHnpertant that each states
representation should be kept full. but he
regarded It as equally important that the
senators from the several states should be
selected properly and IN accordance with
the constitution.

the declaration that the legislature OF Penn
sylvania had actually been prevented from
performing its duty Of electing q senator
was the first time in the history OF Penn
syiyania that the power Of the executive
had been exercised In that manner
Former Senator Edmunds followed Mr..
Cafron, celebrating some Of the legal and
ronstitutionai points made by his col
appointments was constantly being trench
ed upon by the executive power. not only
Of the state. but OF the nation itself.
Mr.. Edmunds maintained that the va
cancy had occurred during the session of
the legislature and that. after the vacancy
deavored but failed to elect. the governor
was barred from exercising HIS constitu-
tional right to appoint. He commended that
the case OF Mr.. Quay did no. fall within
the authority conferred upon governor to

argument In rebuttal Of the statements and
arguments advanced by Mr.. Edmunds and

CHEAP SUMMER RATES
Round-Trip Tickets East and
West at Practically One Fare.
HANDY FOR THE TEACHERS
The Oregon Short Line Is About to Re-
model Several of Its 6oO-C Glass En-
glnes-Prominent Railroad Men
In Town Yesterday.

Cheap railroad rates for summer
trips will be put into effect eastward
as well as westward, and according to
local announcement made yesterday,
teachers and others will be able to
go East on a summer vacation for
three months on a round-trip rate that
is little more than one fare. The North
ern Pacific, the first to announce the
rate, will sell round-trip tickets at Que
fare, plus 81, from Butte to st. Paul,
Duluth, Omaha, Kansas City and all
points on the river, Chicago and st.
Louis. This will make the round trip
rate to st. Paul, Duluth, Omaha, KAN
sas City and all river points $42; to Chi
cago $3.50, and st. Louis $49.5O Tick
cts will be limited to continuous pas
sage in each direction, and the final
limit to Sept. 4. AS the Butte schools
close on June 2, the cheap rate will
come in good time for those who. are
contemplating trips East, and it is un-
derstood that number of them ere
going.
The Oregon Short Line will remodel
several of it's 600 class engines to be
used on the new Chicago-Portland spe-
cial. Vice President Bancroft is quoted
as 1aying that four of those engines
would be changed to heavy passengers
by making 26-inch stroke and in
creasing the diameter of the wheel cen
ters to 81 inches. BY this the engines
will be changed from heavy freight to
fast and powerful passenger engines,
and the larger wheel will make them
set higher. The company has AZ of the
600 class. so that the four to be trans
ferred can be spared for the Chicago
Portland service. Mr.. Bancroft has
spent several days on an inspection of
the line and the work of the new 100
class engines, with which he is highly
pleased One of these engines the other
day pulled 55 loaded cars and caboose
from Pocatello to Montpelier on an up
grade part of the way. The total ton
mage was 1914. Another of the en-
engines were good for only 1,500 tons.

shortly to put on another train between
Boise and Huntington to accommodate
the rapidly increasing business along
that part of the line. 1t will be a
mixed train, leaving Boise and Hunt

Friend Joe: I just got three of your
letters that you wrote last summer.
They laid in Skaguay for six months.
Well, Joe, we struck it rich. We are
about $4,000 ahead and are coming
home next August We will probably
stay all winter and go back next spring.
Eagle City is the best place here now.
Dawson City is all off. We struck it
rich on a creek that we called Slate
creek; you will hear all about 1t next
summer; it beats the K1ondike. We
killed two cariboo and moose last
winter and had plenty of everything.
The newspapers that you sent have
not got here yet; there is no use of
sending any more. You can tell us all
that happened next summer. Well,
be good to yourself. Your friend,

Trials and Troubles of Il Young Man After
Marriage License.
Great Falls, May 10-A young man
yesterday desired to obtain a marriage
license And he obtained it, though
after many Affections. He started ear
ly in the morning by realizing he had
forgotten tc get the license out on
Monday, and that it was now a legal
holiday, and the office of the clerk of
the court would probably not be open.
So he FASTENED to the residence of the
deputy clerk, but found that he had
left for down town. The young man
followed. The office was closed, and
though the clerk himself was inside and
knew the young mans urgent necessity,
he refused to open the door. Three
times the young man raped on the
closed portal and finally Clerk Athey
opened 1t and listened to the Grand
He expressed grave doubts as to his
ability to issue license on holiday
He advised the young man to seek le-
gal services, and the advice was fol-
lowed. The lawyer gravely considered
the matter and then questioned the le-
gality of marriage performed under
sanction of a license issued on a legal
holiday, questioned the right of the
clerk to issue such license at all,
and finally asked seriously if the we'd
ding could not be postponed for a day.
such a dire contingency and persisted
In his attempt to secure the paper I'M
til a short time before the wedding was
to be performed. Then, and it was high
time, the clerk relented enough to is
sue the permit with many doleful
shakes of the head, and the young
man went away happy.
