Prediction That Carter Will Lead
When Balloting for Senator Begins.
Helena, jan Especial. .)-Contra-
ry to expectations, the governors mes
sage to the legislature was not deliv-

houses tomorrow afternoon at z

The nominations made by the re-
publicans in caucus were elected in
both branches at noon today, after
which both houses adjourned until to-
morrow There has been very little
said among members thus far concern
ing the senatorial election, and the
real fight for the honor among repub-
licans to succeed Senator Gibsons

days to come. The prediction is freely
made among few friends of that
gentleman, who are not members or
the legislature, that Senator Carter

begins a week from tomorrow.

Russian Correspondent Writes of Con
ditions.

Mukden, Jan. 1.-Nemirovitch Dan
respondent, who has just returned
from an inspection OF the qaurters oc-
cupied by the Russian officers and pri-
Yates at the front, says:
"One can hardly imagine greater
contrast than that otfarded by the
tired, hungry army that settled down
here after the battle TO Liaoyang and
the army now resting south OF Muk-
den. The men live in dugouts, but
most of the officers huts are above
ground. Aside from the fact that
there are only five officers to a hut
and that the latter contain no decora-
tions, there is little difference be-
tween the mems and the officers
quarters Everybody is we'll fed ana
comfortable.
"The officers and men partake OF
the same tare, which is distributed
twice daily in big coppers from the
camp kitchen. A ration consists OF a
pound OF meat and two and a half
pounds of bread, with tea twice day.
There are short rations of sugar, but
the only shortages observable are
sugar, leather, sewing materials and
reading matter Every one would ap-
preciate books and papers. Every
printed sheet is read, even the adver-
tisements. The postal facilities are
poor. Most OF the officers have not
heard from European Russia for a
long time. Since the wires have been
reserved for military service tele-
grams have all been forwarded by
mail from Irkutsk
THE temperature is six degrees be-
low zero (Fehrenheit) and it is expect
ed to be colder'
