Helena, Jan. 27.--The effects Of yester-
days storm in joint session had not been
entirely obliterated when both houses
met today to take the fifteenth joint bal
lot for United States senator. AS the
call of the roll proceeded no one was par
ticularly surprised when Hannahs name
was reached that the senator from Sweet
Grass arose and proceeded to deny what
Whiteside had accused him of yesterday,
of having received money from Clark,
beginning with $4,000 cabled to him at
Hong Kong before he returned from
Manila. He characterized the assertion
as false and the calumniat ton of an un-
qualified liar. He said that while whole
sale exposures We're being made he
wished to say that John r. Toole had ap
preached him by trying to influence his
vote in the hope that he QIannah) might
be elected United States senator before
the matter was settled, telling him that
he Croole) controlled 21 votes. Hannah
voted for Clark and the balloting pro-
ceeded
Applause marked the announcement of
the first republican on the list, Geiger,
that he cast his vote for Charles R. Leon
ard of Butte.
When Representative Hedges name
was reached he spoke for several minutes
with great earnestness and vigor, elicit
ing repeated applause as he solemnly
promised that no republican vote would
be cast for democrat, despite the foul
rumors to the contrary He branded as
an infamous lie the reports in circulation
that it was only a question of time when
the republicans would vote for Clark.
They would remain to the last true to
their party, and endeavor by every means
possible to elect senator.
When John r. Toole was called upon to
vote he began by referring to the ex-
minister who, under the lash of public
condcmna ton, was squirming like
snake nailed to a tree, and held Hannah
up as pitiful spectacle. He admitted
talking to Hannah. but denied attempt
ing to use any undue influence. He said
there were few who voted for Clark who
might never expect anything, but the
evidence was too strong to doubt that
the whole lot would not be paid. He
closed amid considerable laughter by pic
turing Hannah fleeing to the Philippines
after the session, there to spend the rest
of his days with 100000, following his
honored calling, attired in a breech clout,
with a Bible in one hand and the other
trying to lead the Filipino to salvation.
Toole voted for Fox, making a loss of
vote for Conrad.
Clark did not make the rumored gain
of one expected today. The vote was:
Clark 40, Conrad 20, Leonard 16, Magin-
mis- 6, Fox 8. No absentees.
The senate finally passed Campbells
bill suppressing trespassing upon cars,
negative. 1t also passed the Norris bill
relating to fees of county treasurers in
issuing certificates for redemption and
sale of taxes.
The senate passed in committee of the
whole bills relating to vacating plated
toWnsites: protecting witnesses before
bribery Investigating committees: amend
ing the codes as to pleadings in civil ac-
tons and a substitute for the Norris bill

further examination.
