Deadlock Continues.

Springfield, ILL.,, May 20.-For the
first time since the beginning of the
deadlock in the Illinois republican
convention the delegates yesterday
began to show signs of breaking
away. Many of the delegates left
town and some of them declared they
would not come back until some of
the gubernatorial candidates got out
of the race and made it possible to
break the deadlock. Their votes were
cast by the more faithful of the dele
gates, in some instances a single dele
gate voting an entire county.

ing hard and seems anxious for the

dent OF winning this match as he ever
was any OF his former goes in this

does not daunt the sturdy little fel.

Anaconda will be OF different color
and that before the twenty rounds he
will deliver the punch that means de-
feat to the boxer from California.
Long, who has done his work in
Anaconda, has made innumerable
friends In that city. He works out
in fine shape and is certainly a most
enterprising young man in every way.
Unless all signs fail Long is going to
give Herrera the fight OF his life when

WILL HAVE NEW DEPOT.
Quarter Of a Million Dollar Structure
to be Put Up in Butte.

Butte, Feb. Sat last Butte is as
sured OF a railway depot which will
be in keeping with the importance Of
the city and the business transacte |
here by the several roads entering The
big mining camp. For the past sew
eral years the question of new depot
for Butte has been discussed among
the business men and every railway
official from the head offices who
have visited this city has been inter-
viewed upon the subject. No definite
action, however, was taken until to-
day, when a party Of Great Northern
officials came here and looked over
the ground after which it was an-
nounced authoritatively that new
depot would be built.
The site chosen is where the old
Great Northern depot now stands,
and the estimated cost of the new
structure is about S25O.O0U. 1t has
not been definitely settled when work
will begin, but 1t is presumed that the
actual work of construction will com
mence as soon as spring opens.
II is understood that the new depot
will be built by the Great Northern
company and the other roads will use
1t under lease or union depot agree
ment. At Helena the Northern Pa
cific built the new depot and the
Great Northern agreed to use 1t under
the union depot agreement. The bus
mess men will appreciate the initia'
tive the Great Northern has taken
in the matter Of a new depot here
One of the matters standing in the
way of the location at the present
site OF the old Great Northern depot
was that the grade would be toe
heavy for the Northern Pacific to en-
ter the union building. This objec
tion was overcome when it was showr
that the grade would not be more
than 2 per cent.
