The vote which has alternately
been given McGinness and Duer
Is that OF the populists, who on
the first ballot for the long term
voted for Spriggs.
In the committee appointments
which were announced early In the
week, Fergus county members Jared
very well. In the senate Senator
Hohson, who returned Wednesday,
received the Craftsmanship OF the
committee on apportionment and
representation and places on the fol-
lowing: Corporations other than
municipal, finance and claims. judi
ciary, mines and mining.
In the house all the chairmanships
went to Democrats, but Representa-
tive Hedges was named on the COM
mlttees on judiciary. interpretations
other than municipal, townships and
counties; Representative Lehman re-
celved appointments on apportion-
ment and representation, and enroll
ment. The Fusion majority is al
ready feeling the goading Of Mr..
Hedges, who leads the minority, and
in order to get even very uncerimOni-
ously knocked out his apportion-
mcnt bill when it came up for second
reading early In the week. But Mr..
Hedges was not discouraged and has
introduced another measure which
provides for an increase of member
snip uf the house of from seventy to
ninety and fixes the appOrtionment

Some Democrats seem to think that
because they are in a majority the
privilege Of introducing important
measures should be limited to them
selves. but it is but fair to add that
this opinion il only advanced by the
ignorant who are extremely swelled
with their sudden elevation from oh
security to membership in Il legislative
body. The measures SO far intro
duced by Mr.. Hedges have been di-
rected to the curing of radical evils,
the advancement of large interests or
the carrying out of the provisions Of
the constitution, and because he is
not sleepy, as are many of the Demo-
Gratis, and iorestalls their intentions,
is no occasion for comment when the
general character of the fusion ma
iority is considered.
Senator Phillips Of Choteau county
has introduced "a bin increasing the
bounty on wolves and coyotes to IS
and making no distinction between
pups and full grown wolves. This
measure or q similar one will un-
dOuhtedly pass, as stockmen have
shown much generosity in bearing a
great portion of the tax themselves,
and the necessity OF killing off the
destroyers is apparent to all. To
Senator Phillips bill Is added clause
placing bounty OF 81 on mountain
lions.

London, Jan. 2l.-Fhroughout the
United Kingdom yesterday was n
Sunday Of anxiety and suspension.
No one outside the circle Of the court
knew the real condition OF tho queen
or the nature oi her Illness. The uni
Scrsnl question was whether death
was imminent. The London news
papers had not learned that her
muicsty had suffered II shock of
paralysis.
Extra editions Of the Sunday papers
contained no information. but there
were many oi the official bulletins,
aud they were eagerly sought There
were small gatherings ia the vicinity
ul buckingham palace aud Marlbor-
uugh house, ns well ns ut other GEN.
tcr- where The bulletins were posted.
Crowds assembled To witness the
arrival oi Emperor William. Apart
from such incidents. however, the
custom ny quiet ola London Sunday
was not disturbed.
The most alarming reports of the
day cumc In the form of kilograms
from the prince and Others at Os-
hOrhc house. The coming OF En-
peror William and the news that
King Leopold was about starting
for London inspired fears that death
was near at hand. On the other
hand, the fact That the prince of
Wales was able to leave Osborne
house had an encouraging effect.
When the prime arrived at London
station al O'Clock several hundred
people were there To greet him. But

TN THE LEGISLATIVE HALLS
No Material Changes in Vote OF Senator--Favorite
Sons Receiving All the Bouquets-=One Appor-
tonment Killed and Another Intro
duCed--llOre Clerks.

Helena, Mont, Jan. 20.-Special to
the Argus-Thls week in the capital
has seen the final act in the triumph
of W. A. Clark and from this time
there Ia hope that the great fight
which has continued for so many
years may have closed and Montana
lawmakers he allowed opportunity
to attend to the needs OF the state,
rather than fighting the battles of
Clark or Daily.
With the death OF Mr.. DAILY last
fall and Mr.. Clark's election Wednes-
day, one has been removed from the
scene OF conflict and the other at
tained the qualification of the desire
for which he has fought since few
years after Montana attained state
hood.
There never was but little doubt oi
Mr.. Clark's election and when IL oc-
CURED Wednesday in the first Joint
session Mr.. Clark pulled from his
pocket q manuscript containing an
address, which he had previously
prepared for the occasion. Helena
went wild that night. Charlie Clark
and Others of the crowd went around
later and opened up the bars and
everything was free until daylight
broke next morning. The capital
never saw such night and probably
never Will again. Few legislators
were prepared the next day To
attend to business and up to this
time the fusion majority does not
seem able to pull itself together and
seriously undertake the election Of a
senator for the short term.
Senator Clark was chosen for the
term succeeding senator Carter, and
and unless there should be an extra
session will not present his creden-
tials to the senate at Washington
until the first Monday Of December.
On the other hand the short term
senator, who is To fill the vacancy
caused by the resignation OF Senator
Clark, will take his seat at once. but
this duos not seem to hustsn matters
at all. the members evidently being
satisfied that Senator Carter is doing
very well alone and assistance is not
essential.
Republicans have consistently sup
ported Senator Carter for the long
term and ex-senator Mantle for the
short term, although there is pos
sibility that Senator Carter will re-
celve the full Republican vote any
day that his election might be brought
about. by assistance from the inde-
pendent Democrats or Others. OF
this, however, there appears no i'm
mediate PROBABILITY, though the per-
sistent and malignant attacks of the
Herald upon Senator Carter is bring
ing to his support many who have
heretofore opposed him, and II this
course be persisted In he may possi-
bly, be chosen to succeed to the va
cancy, Which would put Kim In the
anomalous position OF holding ere
dentials to two seats in the senate at
the same time.
The vote, aside from that cast by
the Republicans, has been very scat
tering and it is impossible to venture
a forecast OF the result. Including
yesterdays ballot the leaders on the
ballot were voted for as follows:

Meeker, Col, Jan. lS.-Col. Roose-
velt's chair was vacant last night
when the hunters at the Keystone
ranch gathered for supper. No
anxiety was felt at first, as he had
told the Others when he lett thecabin
for solitary stroll just before dusk
not to wait for him in case he was
not back by supper time. But Mt

turned and his friends became
alarmed. And at 10 o'clock they
were convinced that he was the vic

dogs were started IN search OF him.
When he left the cabin Col. Roose-
welt intended To get few shots at

The bear was overtaken I'm narrow
canyon i'm Coyote basin. On account
of the SHOW at the entrance the hunt
ers were forced to leave their horses
and continue the chase on foot.
Near the head OF the canyon, where
on account of the precipitous walls
there wasno escape for their quarry,
they overlook the bear. Gov.
Roosevelt, in spite of warnings,
rushed ahead of the Others. All were
pumping lead as fast as they could
work the levers Of their rifles.
Stung by his wounds the brute
turned and rushed towards his pur-
suers. Col. Roosevelt stood his
ground until his magazine was emp
ty, and then ran. In the now well
broken path bruin was the swifter.
Breathless and exhausted, Colonel
Roosevelt stumbled over a rock and
fell headlong in the snow. The
grizzly, stopped by the last few bull
lets, dropped "A lifeless mass not iii-

Ask the Government to Stamp Out
the Liquor Evil.

Buffalo. y. Y. July 31.-A large num-
Der of ". c. T. Z. members from all
parts of the United States and Canada
assembled in the Delaware Avenue
Baptist church today. The meeting
adopted an expression of sentiment re-
garding the army canteen and the reg
ulStion Of the social evif' in our new
possessions.
Il stated that the alleged increase in
drunkenness in the rmy since the pas
sage of the anti-csssteen law is not
supported by facts expressed the be
lief that there was a determination on
the part OF liquor interests and certain
officials of the war department to make
the law odious and imperative. and
recommended q great variety of food,
libraries and gymnasiums for the sol
diars: viewed with adherence the fact
that the social evil was regulated IN
! Manila under the military government
/ of the United States and is now regu-
lated in Hawaii. and urgently entreatec
/ the government to exercise whatever
mower and authority is vested in it tC
/ stamp out tthis accused thing.
