SENATORIAL FIGHT.
The situation Practically Remains
Unchanged.


Bismarck, N. D., Jan. 12.-Congress-
man Johnson lost two votes and
gained one from the opposition at the
caucus Hast night, suffering a net loss
of one vote and receiving ~ votes on
the last ballot as against 81 on the
last ballot Friday night. One Of his
supporters. Deism of La A1oure, was
absent from the caucus, so that had
Deism been present the congressman
would have received 30 votes, or less
than the highest number he received
on the previous balloting. The caucus
beyond this change was devoid OF any
especial significance except that the
members appear to be as far from a
choice as ever. The vote stood as fol-
lows: Johnson, %; Marshall, IL; Lit.
tie, 8; AicCumber, s; La Moure, s.;
Hannah, 6; Cooper, 4.
The caucus adjourned subject to the
call of the committee.

THE SENATORIAL CONTEST.
The Caucus Takes One ballot and
AliOurns


Adjourns.
Bismarck. n. d.. Jan. 7.-Only one
ballot was taken at the adjourned sen
atorlal caucus of the Republicans last
night and there has been as vet no
break III any of the forces. The anti
Johnson candidates have perfected an
organization of their forces which they
claim is unbreakable. The vote on the
one formal ballot taken last night was
exactly the same as that taken on the
eighth ballOt and stands: johnson 81,
Little 10, Marshall 13. La Moure 6.
McCumber s. Hanny 5 and Cooper 4,
giving the johnson strength 81 against
a vote of 40 for the field After the
one ballot had been taken, Senator
Ames of Trail county. one of the
Johnson leaders, moved that the eau
Gus be adjourned to tonight AS the
lower house adjourned to Monday, it
is expected that Il number of the anti
Johnson men will leave for their
homes on various business engage
;nents. The adjournment to tonight
was not desired by the field. and Sena-
tor La Moure moved that the motion
be amended by All adjournment sub
ject to the call of the caucus commit
tee. The amendment carried by the
exact Johnson and anti-Johnson vote,
except that Johnson Of Richland pass
ed his vote and Fuller of Stutsman
voted against. there being A votes for
the amendment and 81 against.
The principal interest in the strug-
gle now lies in the integrity of the
union against Johnson. If the con-
gresham can break the opposition
ranks and secure two or three votes in
addition to those he now has, there is
an opportunity for good management
to pull him through. Ii the field re-
mains unbroken. as the leaders insist
it will, the battle for the senatorship
lies among the field candidates.

The financial history of North Dakota
since Jan. l. 1888, is an interesting and in
structive one. and q careful study of the
subject shows that the appropriations of
the third, fourth and fifth legislatures
were largely in excess of the revenues.
The report of the state auditor for the
years 1893 and 1894 shows that the appro-
were as follows:

which was represented by transfers from
other funds to the general fund.
The conditions prevailing during the
meeting of the fifth legislative assembly
are of too recent date to need recalling

while he was walking about the city,

sights, he found a man too drunk to
navigate lying in an alley meeting with
a couple of men on the next corner, he
asked:
whats the matter with that manY"
One of the men replied that he guessed
he was a little tired.
"Well," said our Bob, 'Ill bet he is a
republican"
'Ill take the bet, said the man ad-
dressed. "I'll bet the cigars for the
crowd that he ism t republican"
CAN right" said Bob, and the three
went to the tired citizen, and Bob shook
him and said: "Wake up here? Are
you republican,"
"Y- -a-a-s," came the stupid answer,
and Bob smoked at the expense OF the
other fellow, and now wakes up in the
night and laughs to think how easy it is
to win bet like that in The Dalles
