HELENA. Mont. March S.-The Montana
Legislature is in session this morning striv-
ing TO break the deadlock that has existed
since the voting for the short-term senator
began in January. Yesterday was the last
day of the session. AT midnight the hands
of the clock in the House were pushed
back. and the sun will be peeping over the
Rocky mountains before the hour is agreed
to be u. The result will be a deadlock, Il
is predicted, though there is hope for Sen.
ator Thomas III. Carter. He is the only
Republican in Montana who stood the leas;
show of securing fusion votes. The Demo
Gratis are divided. A score stay with Ma
ginnis, f. Augustus Heinze's mine man
ager. Other Democrats-the "straights"-
stay with H. L. Frank, the Butte million
aire. Seven independent Democrats, with
others, have formed the field.
Long ago the Republican minority knew
that Lee Mantle stood no show, and Sen
ator Carter was substituted. Carriers clos
ing act in Congress on the day of his exit
from the Senate. when he dealt the coup de
grace to the river and harbor bill, aug
mented his senatorial chances nightly.

suit was the same as for days. An ad-
journment of the joint session was then

ballot Frank had as high as forty-two
v~otes-five short of an election. On the
next ballot he fell off again. Frank ana
Maginnis are the leaders on the fusion
side. Shortly after Il o'clock, actual time,
the Republicans objected 10 further ballot
ing, claiming the time for election had ex-
pired. Their protest was not heard, how
ever, the clock having been stopped before
IL indicated midnight. There is nothing to
indicate when the election will occur, If at
all.
1t develops that as the sergeant-at-arms
was about to turn the hands of the clock
back at midnight one of the Republican
members, Gregory, of Carbon county, tried
to stop him in order to prevent an election.

fighting was broken, along with the clock.
