EXTRA SESSION IF NECESSARY
Governor Dietrich Declares He VIII Keep
Legislators at Work.

WASHINGTON, March 4.-Governor
Dietrich, to a crowd of Nebraskans as
sem bled in the Raleigh hotel tonight,
said that as governor of Nebraska he
believed it to be his duty to see that
the legislature elected two republicans
to the United States senate.
"If the legislature should adjourn
without electing," he said, Il will call
it in extraordinary session and keep
legislators at work until their terms
expire. l believe the people demand
this, and l for one will never shirk
a duty that seems so clear to me.
National Committeeman Schneider,
speaking of the senatorial situation,
said that the legislature had at least
thirty working days before it and he
saw no good reason for predicting
complete deadlock to the end of the
session. while | admit the situation
is very serious" he added, Il do not
believe that the republicans are going
to fail in the important duty of send
ing two republicans to the senate.
Should the legislature adjourn without
ar election it would be an awful blow
to republicanism in our state.''

The PenitentIary at Lincoln Destroyed
by Fire.
LINCOLN, Neb., March 1.-The Ne
braska state penSentiary is in ruins.
Fire, which broke out shortly before
midnight, swept through the great
stone buildings and burned them to
the ground. A company of militia is
feaving on a special Burlington train
to guard the conEicts, who have been
herded within the stone walled prison
yard.
Fire, which started in the living
rooms Of the warden Of the state peni-
tentiary at midnight, seems certain to
destroy the entire main building, to-
gther with the cell house and other
buildings.
Just after o'clock this morning 2

Gated. This cuts off the only means
OF immediate communication with the
prison, which is nearly four miles from
from the business district Of the city.
Between 1 and 2 o'clock, however, a
message from member Of the fire de-
partment stated that the penitentiary
proper was doomd and that the fire
was spreading.
Before the flames had gained great
headway Warden Davis gave orders to
release the convicts from the cells and
march them under guard to the prison
yard and there place them under
double guard. The removal was ac-
complished safely and without disor-
der.
Extra guards were also posted on
the stockade walls, armed with shot
guns, With orders to permit no escapes.
The origin CT the fire is unknown.
When first discovered the officers of
the institution Immediately set TO
work all the small fire apparatus os
the prison. Water was used in abun-
dance, but assistance from the city
nre department was called for and g
steamer and hosecart were dispatched
in response to a telephone message.
A short time after midnight Warden
Davis said he did not have the fire
under control, but he could not tell
now pad 1t was. Burning in the upper |
story and at the front of the building |
Its spread was slow. 1t was hoped |
that 1t could be confined to the front |

came that the fire was very bad one.
