discussion lasting nearly all night the
house of representatives passed the bill
for the division of Ell Paso county sec
ond reading at 8 O. clock this morning, by
a vote of SO to 27. Several opponents of

to 30 in favor of the measure. The bill
which has already passed the senate, Gre
ates a new county to be known as Teller
county, which will include the Cripple
Creek mining district: This division of
Ell Paso county has been vigorously op-
posed by the people of Colorado Springs.
and it is openly charged that a large fund
was raised to buy votes against the meas
ure. Representative Smith of Chaffee
county declared The floor of the house
that $500 was offer - HIM to vote against
the new county. At O'Clock this morn
ing Speaker Smith, who is opposed to the
bill, and Representative Montgomery of
Cripple Creek, who led the divisionist
forces, almost came to blows. A fight
was prevented only by the prompt action
of SergeantS-at-arTnS and members and
ten policemen were then detailed to main
tain order on the floor of the house and
in the ante-rooms.

Armstrong, Braddock, Caldwell, Camp
bell, Crossan, Farrelly, Hart, Helm,

AS Topeka wants to turn the fair
grounds into a park, no tears will be
shed in this city over the failure of the
fair. If the fair grounds is made park,
it would be impossible to hold fairs in
it without running the grass and shrub
berry to be placed in it.

IN THE NEW ARMY.

Washington, March "a great deal of
hard work will be required of the war
department in changing the army es-
tablishment as contemplated by the bill
which has just become a law. Espec-
tally will this be the case in the ad-
jutant generals office, which will SUD-
ervise the muster out of the existing
volunteer army and the recruiting and
the muster in of the $4,000 men for the
new volunteer branch, together with
such recruiting IS will be necessary to
bring the regular establishment up to
the required strength. The present vol
unteer regiments will be formally mus
tered out of the service, but the expec-
SatiOn is that many of the men after
paying a visit to their homes will again
enlist so that this branch will have for
its nucleus much of the present element
composing it. Some of them may de-
ternine to go in bodily but the under
standing is that each man will be free
to exercise his own will as to remaining
in other words there is to be nothing
savoring of conscription.
The newly recruited volunteers will
not have state designations but would
be called volunteer regiments of infant
ry and cavalry respectively, organiza-
bered from one up. The colonies are to
be appointed by the president. Large
numbers of soldiers who enlisted in the
regular army at the beginning of the

provision which permitted their dis
charge after hOStilitieS had ceased and
the estimate is made that probably four
to five hundred is a fair average of
those who left each regiment. Reports
received at the adjutant generals office
show, however, that a good percentage
of them have re-enlisted for the full
term of army service. At this dis
charge they received certain pay, trav-
el and other allowances and having gspent
their money and had a rest and visit to
their homes were again satisfied to en-
list. The department is filling the reg
ular army regiments sent to the Philip
pines with full service men, this pre-
caution being taken to avoid the neces-
sity of transporting home such as elect
to take advantage of the law permit
ting their discharge at the close of the
war.

bills passed at this session. The house
decided this today by striking all bills
of that nature from it's calendar by

salaries of the treasurer and clerk of
the district court of Mcpherson county,
which had already passed the senate
and was urged in the house by Mr..
Grattan.
The bill developed a great amount
of opposition because it was special

QUAY STILL l3 SHORT.

The latest from Harrisburg says that
the Beaver Boss, is further away from
the United States Senator-ship than
he has been at any time since the con-
test began. The machine has tried
all sorts of tricks to capture votes for
Quay, but has failed in every instance.
The Democrats are making a noble
stand and their ranks remain un-
broken. In an interview on the sub
ject Wednesday evening Mr.. Wana-
maker said, "The Legislature is not
in the vest pocket OF Quay Andrews
set as the last one was. The Demo-
Gratis are magnificent IN their steady
purpose to hold together and determ-
ined not to be made responsible for
hitching up the State for six years
more to the Quay crowd"
1t is very evident that nothing but
crookedness can pull him through.
