CASEY A CANDIDATE.
The Ex-senator Willing to Wear the
Toga for. Term.

JAMESTOWN, Jan. 18-(Special)-
Among the many dark horses mention
ed in connection with the election of
United States senator by the legisla-
ture at Bismarck Is ex-senator Ly-
man R. Casey, of thsr city, who repre-
sented North Dakots at Washington
for four years. He was defeated by
Roach six years ago. When the sena-
torial fight was IN progress six years
ago Johnson used every effort to secure
the defeat Of Mr.. Casey. He had cir
.culars printed in Norwegian in which
the national prejudices were aroused
by the statement that Senator Casey
was opposed to the best interests of
Norwegians generally. Just what eff
feet this had on the members of the
legislature can not beEtold, but@it un-
doubtedly had some effect detrimental
to Casey's election. The fact is re-
called at this time to the ex-senator's
friends by Johnson's attitude in seek
ing to whip his countrynen into line.
During all the balloting that has
taken place at Bismarck the votes OF
the three members from this county
have been divided among the field can
didates Should Casey be a candidate,
it is claimed by those in a position to
know that he would receive the united
support of all the legislative members
from the James river valley counties.
1t is a well known fact that the ex-
senator would be perfectly willing to
enter the fight if only to defeat john

CHARLESTON, w. Va, Jan. 49,
The political situation has assumed d
serious aspect by reason of the re-
!. fuSal of Gov. Atkinson and the senate,
which is Republican, to formally rec
ognize the house. Though the gov
ernment has been notified that the
house is organized and ready for bus
iress, the governor has not transmit
ted his message, and there is no in
dication as to when he will do so. The
senate has persisted in adjourning
each day Immediately after conven-
ing, thus frustrating the efforts of the
house committee to appraise 1t of the
fact that the house is in session. A
Republican leader in the house today
made the remark that there will be a
house within a few days that the gov
ernor will recognize.
The Republicans will tomorrow night
caucus for the senatorial nominations.
Predictions as to the nominee are i'm
possible.
The Democratic members of the
legislature met tonight in secret eau

WASHINGTON, Jan 1S.-The situa-
ton in the Samoan islands is realized
here to be full of gravity For some
time past there has been an exchange
of correspondence between the three
governments parties to the treaty of
Berlin, respecting the choice of sue
cessor to the late King Malietoa, and
some friction developed owing to the
strict adherence of the United States.

The statements in the dispatch from

conflict with the provisions of the
treaty. IT, as reported, Raffel. the
president of the municipal council at
Apia and the German consul. Rose,
have seized the supreme court and
pronounced themselves practically die
tators, it is said here that they have
violated the treaty absolutely. The
functions of the president of the mu-
nicipal council are clearly defined by
the treaty, and the last advices receiv-
ed here were to the effect that President
RaffeI had been granted leave of ab-
sence and intended to visit New Zea-
land. 1t was also understood that his
successor had been selected, and it was
thought was on his way to his post.

BISMARCK, N. D., Jan. 18.-{Spe-
ciaI.)-Surface indications are that
Johnson is beaten. He held his own
in joint ballot of the house and senate
today, but his present strength will
avail him nothing. Summing up the
matter tonight, a leader Of the oppo-
sttion said: johnson has been out
generated. That Is all there is to 1T.
While he kept the field scattered he
had a chance to win. But his only
hope was in gradually breaking the
field forces. Now that the opposition
has made an agreement to elect the
man named in field caucus, Johnson
is through. One or two days will set
be chosen, but 1t will not be Johnson y
Caucuses of six field candidates for
the senatorship and their supporters
were held this afternoon and tonight,
without arriving at any result in the
selection of candidate. 1t was not
expected that any decision would re-
suit, but tomorrow's caucuses are ex-
peeted to develop a leading candidate
and may result in choice.
The two houses Of the legislature did
nothing today beyond taking formal

resulted in few changes, Arnold and

Johnson, under the management of

as forty nine Republicans have signed
the caucus agreement to vote for the
one of the six candidates receiving at
any time majority of the forty nine
signers.
Not only is the congressman defeat
ed, but his supporters will have abso-
lutely no voice in naming the man to
be elected. The field combined against
the congressman so adroitly and quiet
ly that before the congressman's man
ayers were aware of it they were out
of the fight.
The strength of Marshall and Little
is about equal. Each is confident OF
being able to bring in enough field sup
porters from other candidates to make
him winner.
