Direction of Popular Election
U. s. Senators.

Bismarck, N. D., Feb. 27.-Probably
in any it the states of the northwest
looking to the expression of the popu-
lar choice in the selection of United
States senators was that taken by the
senate when it passed the Sampson
bill, providing for the ~certi1cation Of
the popular choice to the legislative
assembly. The Simpson bill is as fol-
lows:
At all general elections in this state
for choosing representatives in con-
gress and other state officers next
preceding the election of a senator
in congress from the state of North
Dakota there shall be placed upon
the official ballot by the secretary of
! state the names of all candidates for
the office of senator in congress that
have been named in any of the meth
DDS now or hereafter provided by law
for the nomination of state officers.
the votes for which candidates shall
be counted and certified to by the
| election judges and other officials in
the same manner as the votes for 9TH
err candidates are now counted and
certified, and shall be filed in the Of
flee of the secretary of state, who shall
transmit duplicate copies thereof to
the legislative assembly at the open
49, e a. c~x,% 0ycr,inr cnCCinn ono
CODY of which shall be addressed to
the senate and the other to h house
of representatives of the state OF

This is the bill as it passed the
senate. by the vote of "a to 9. The
senators who voted against the bill
were Messrs. Clarke, Fox, Geer,
Gulach. La Moure, Little, Mclean,
Talcott and Voss. Prior to the pass
age of the bill there was a general
airing of sentiment. Senator La
Moure declared the passage of the
hill would make every federal officer
in the state a henchman for the NOM
nation of his maker, and a worker
for him at the polls. He said the bill
would put the selection of senators
in the hands of the federal officers.

Red Lodge. Feb. 27.-It is said that
some time ago George w. Robertson,
the erstwhile Clark Fork woolgrower,
who has a sheepcamp near Roberts,
suspected that his Wife's affections
we're being alienated by his hired
man, o. G. Bevelmeyer. Last week,
it is alleged, he intercepted some
clandestine correspondence which con-
firmed his suspicious. On reading the
letters, he naturally became greatly
enraged and, acting on the impulse
of the moment, proceeded from his
home in Red Lodge to Roberts camp,
and administered a deserved rebuke
to his hired man, using his revolver

A IN A e
Montana Senator Has a Narrow Es
cape in Washington.

Washington, Feb. Ex-senator
Clark, while on his way to his car
riage to take a late train to New
York last night met with an accident
from which he had a miraculous es-
cape At the corner of H and Six
teenth streets his carriage collided
with an electric car with such force
that it was thrown to the curb and
overturned on it's side, the horses
thrown down and driver and footman
hurled to the ground.
When the door Of the carriage
which was on top was opened the
senator was found somewhat bruised
but practically uninjured. The car
riage was wrecked.

pressly stipulated that they should not
be used for schools, hospitals or re-
ligious purposes, and after two Of the
Armenian families had left Constan-
tinople the rest were stopped on some
pretext and have never been premit-
ted to come away. Mr.. Leischman
has been to the Yildiz kiosk again and
again to remind the great Turk of his
promises, and always brings away as
that the matter will be at
tended to at once; but somehow or
another, it never is, and probably nev
err will be, for the sultan does not
mean a word he says.

found charged to him on the books.
Garch did not return from Coulee, as
stated, and the firm learned yester-
day on what was considered good
authority that Garch took the train
for Canada Tuesday morning. Fur
Their investigation on the part Of the
firm developed the fact that he had
collected $40 from a Mrs. Lutz on the
west side, as we'll as several other
bills, previous to leaving. Garch was
always considered honest by those
employing him, but his failure to re-
turn and the further fact that he had
been gambling for some time has
made the authorities very DESTROYS OF
securing him, and the wires are being
kept busy in the endeavor to find out
his present residence.
While looking into the Pallagi &
Zunchich burglary, it developed that
they were not the only sufferers, the
Red Star saloon Of Antonich & Co.
on Central avenue just west of the
Tod block, having been touched up
for $40 Sunday night. Just how the
thief succeeded in getting away with
the loot is not sure. The sum, which
was lodge money, was placed in the
desk of the saloon, and vas not missed
until Monday morning. A rear door
was open, but it is thought some one
acquainted with the surroundings OF
the place knew of the money being
put in the desk and took it some time
during the evening when the atten
ton of the proprietors was attracted
in another direction.
The sufferers trace a connection be
tween the two robberies and profess
to believe that the same person OF
persons were responsible.

WITNESS ALMOST LYNcHED.
Statement Regarding Woman En-
RACES Spectators.

Paducah, KY, Feb. 27.-The lynch
ing of a witness in a court room was
narrowly averted yesterday. w. r.
Stanley was testifying in the case OF
DR.. A. Parking, a self-styled "theatri-
cal instructor, vital healer and clair
voyant,' with whom he was accused
of deceiving a number of young Wo-
men in Tennessee. Stanley made a
statement of doubt as to the purity
of women in general. Instantly 5O
men were on their feet. An attorney
denounced Stanley as a liar. and
threatened to whip him when court
adjourned. The judge quickly ad'
iourned the sitting, and a rush for
Stanley was made, but three big po'
licemen threw him into an adjoin'
ing room and held the door until he
was taken from the building.

sooner was the mock ceremony per-
formed than Everett made it known
that he was a justice of the peace.
The bride fed to the committee room
interior and now all kinds of specula-
ton is afloat as to whether the mar
riage is binding in reality. Mean
while Allen is still shy one ring and
Brownlee is accepting congratulations

Soon after the opening Of the house
session this afternoon that body adopt

lions to Brownlee and his bride. In
response to demands for a speech
Brownlee replied and indicated his
willingness to consider the marriage

CONCESSION OF THE POWERS
DEMANDS CAUSES SUSPICION.
HABIT OF MAKING PROMISES
Experience of the United States Min
lister, Mr.. Le%ischman, Last
Year.

Chicago, Feb. 20 .y4ilIam E.. Cur
Record-Herald, says: 1t is a very
suspicious circumstance that the sui
tan Of Turkey should concede the de-
mands of Russia and Austria SO
promptly as related in the cable dis
patches from Ccnstantinople and &C.
cept without question the plan they
propose for the government of his re-
bellious subjects in Macedonia. That,
however, is the sultan's way. He will
make promises more readily than any
man in Europe, but vas never known
to keep any of them until he is thrown
down and trampled upon, and does so
10 save his life and authority. He has
a most gracious manner and no doubt
received the ambassadors of Russia
and Austria with his usual courtesy.
By conserving to all of their de-
mands without conditions, he places
them in an embarrassing position, and
further proceedings will be watched
with curiosity. That the sultan will
submit to such humiliation is incred-
ible, but it is just like him to agree
to everything off hand and do nothing.
He is the shrewdest diplomat in Eu-
rope.
Those who have represented the
United States in Turkey tell curious
stories about his methods in this re-
spect. Last year, after several long
discussions with the officials of the
foreign Office and the grand vizier,

dir kiosk, and when he demanded,

Young Corbett of Denver and Eddie
Hanlon of San Francisco, a draw.
Young Corbett clearly demonstrate

high opinion in which he has been
held by California boxing enthusiasts
has been justified. The contest from
a spectacular standpoint was the best
ever witnessed on the coast, both
