Very Cold in Butte.

The citizens Of Butte awokc this morn
ing to find the snowfall, which began at
an early hour yesterday morning, still in
progress, and without any sign Of abate-
mcnt in sight. Already, according to the
records of the weather man, at 8 o'clock
this morning six inches Of the white stuff
had fallen since the storm began, and the
chances are that the white blanket will
be a foot or more in thickness before the
sky clears
The present heavy snowfall marks the
beginning of real winter for this section
of the state, and the reports show that
the precipitation was general throughout
the state. 1t is now too far in the season
for the present snow to be dissipated. 1t

To Give Smoot a Chance.

III aS5OtlAIED PRESS.
Washington, d. c., Dec. Ia.-The sem
ate committee on privileges and cleo
tions met today to outline a policy to be
pursued in investigating the protests filed
against Senator Reed Smoot being per-
mitted to retain his seat and decided that
before taking further steps in the mat
ter, Senator Smoot should be given op-
portunity to make reply to the charges.
Senator Burrows, chairman of the COM
mittee, was instructed to notify Mr.
Smoot of the decision OF the committee
and request that whatever reply he may
desire TO make shall be in writing. In
addition to the innumerable petitions filed
with the committee for the expulsion of
Mr. Smoot, two protests from citizens of
Utah were presented and briefly consid-
cred by the committee.
These protests charged Mr. Smoot with
being polygamist. They also charge that
the Mormon church, OF which Smoot is an
apostle, holds its own laws to be superior
to those of the state, and they contend
that the church still stands for polygamy.
Neither Senator Smoot nor his opponents
were represented at the meeting, and for
that reason members Of the committee
avoided taking any action which would in
any manner show the sentiment Of in
dividuals.
