WASHINGTON, Jan. H.-There is bare
possibility though hardly probability,
that Roberts,, of Utah, may be seated
on his prima facie case after all. The
adoption by the House of the minority
report of the special committee would ac-
complish this. The fact that Repub-
lican, Littlefield, of Maine, and Demo-
crat, De Almond, of Missouri, signed the
minority report. gives Roberts a shadow
of a chance of being sworn in. The minor
ity report contemplates Roberts being
seated and then expelled. The sticklers
for legal forms insist this is the only
correct course Nevertheless, the prospect
of it's adoption is remote.

CONTEST IN
CARBON co,
The Fusionists Want a Re-
count on the
LEGISLATIVE TICKET.
They Allege Various Reasons Why
Their Request Should Be
Granted.

Red Lodge, Mont. Dec. 5.-Some-
what of political sensation was
sprung here Tuesday night by the
institution in the district court OF
proceedings contesting the election or
Senator w. F. Meyer, and represen-
tative G. H. Gregory, both repubi-
cans. The parties to the contest are
R. A. Emmons, populist, and T. r.
Pollard, democrat, who were the riv-
walls of Messrs. Meyer and Gregory.
in the recent election. They waited
until within one hour of the expira-
tion of the time in which contest pro
ceedings could be instituted before
filing the necessary papers. The OBJ
ject is to have the legislature order a
recount of the votes cast for the leg
islative ticket in east and west Red
Lodge. in Roberts, in Carbon and in
Gebo. AS the cause for the contest
the two defeated candidates allege
that the democratic party was not
given representation among the
judges of election, that one of the
judges in West Red Lodge, who has
since died, was not present during
the counting of the ballots, that
Chairman Caldwell. Of the democratic
central committee while keeping tab
on voters in East Red Lodge was
forcibly prevented from holding his
place by Sheriff Dunn, at the request
OF one of the judges. that 125 ballots
containing crosses in the republican
circles, and also cross opposite the
names of the contestants were illeg-
ally counted for Meyer and Gregory,
whereas they should have been count
ed for Emmons and Pollard.
Representative citizens of this coun-
ty, do not hesitate to asert that the
suit is not instituted with an honest
purpose, but is brought by the Clark
men who hope to get their own peo-
pie into the legislature on the flimsy
grounds alleged in the complaint.
When seen today Senator Meyer de.
clared that he had no anxiety about
the result of the contest, believing
that the investigation would show the
utter folly of it. 1t is the general
sentiment here that the institution of
the contest, whichever way it goes,
VIII prove boomerang to fusion
forces in the future and result in max

COL. HARRISON DISCHARGED.
IT'S o"'c'a' Explanation b. the War
Department.

1t is said at the war department
that no change has been made in til,
case of Lieutenant Colonel Russell /.
Harrison, inspector general. U. S. V.
stationed in Porto Rico, whose hon
orable discharge from the army was
contained in the orders of last Fri
day. The official explanation of the
department is that the discontinuance
of the military department of Porto
Rico removed the necessity for an in
spector general in that department;
that all the military departments in
the United States are provided with
officers OF that corps, and that it was
lnadvlsable to send Lieut.. Col. Harri-
son to the Philippines at this late
day, for the reason that undar the
law all the volunteer officers may
have to be discharged from the ser.
vice by June 80 next. In unfriendly
however, it is boldly stated
that Col. Harrison's discharge is an
act of resentment against his father,
Harrison for his non
participation in the late presidential.
election.
