Stand Patters Prevent His Elec-
ton to the Senate.
LEGISLATURE is DEAOL0CkED
And There Is No Indication of a
Break in the Lineup of the
! Opposing Factions.

Des Moines, Ia, Sept. 9.-True to
81 ~.r pledge to each other, forty-tWo
s i-pat Republicans in the state leg
f,>re prevented the election of Gov
G. pNr A. B. Cummins to the United
s,y4ses senate to fill out the unex-
pred term OF the late w. B. Allison.
These forty-two senators and rep
resentatives refused to cast their
votes for Governor Cummins and with
the forty-five Democrats who voted for
Porter, they outnumbered the sixty
FIVE Republicans who voted for Cum
minis. Not only did these forty-two
atand-patters prevent an election, but
they declared that it is their intention
to continue in their course, deadlock
ing the legislature if it is necessary,
to keep Governor Cummins out of the
United States senate. Although prom
inent party leaders came from all
parts of the state for the legislative
session, and also for the Republican
judicial convention, they failed to
bring about any adjustment of diff
ferences. Both sides say that they
will not yield. ...... ,...
There is a disposition among many
men of both factions to hurry up the
primary law legislation for which the
extra session was convened, and then
adjourn.
The voting on senator was conduct
ed by each branch Of the legislature
separately. The house proceeded to
the roll call on senator in the morn
ing. With the very first response,
from a stand-pat Republican, it be-
came evident that the stand-pat plan
to prevent an election would be car
ried out. Every stand-patter stood by
his pledge and the vote was announced
as follows:
CummMs A, Claude r. Porter
&Dem.) 81, Funk 4, Perkins 1, William
Larrabee /. The stand-pat strength
of twenty-eaght votes was cast for va
rious candidates, including Walter I.
Smith, w. P. Hepburn, G. N. Haugen
and A. r. Dawson of the Iowa delega-
ton in congress.
In the senate Governor Cummins re-
ceived 81 votes and Porter IA, while
the IA votes of the stand-patters were
scattered as in the house.

Residents In Minnesota Towns
Struggle Desperately.
THREATENED BY FOREST FIRES
Hfbbing, Nashwauk, Bull, 3D.
vey, Coleraine and Noun
tain Iron in Peril.

Duluth, Sept. 9.-Fighting desperate
~ against the wind-fanned forest
fires that threatened momentarily to
add six mere range towns to the
bIackened ruins of Chisholm and
SNOWFALL, practically the entire male
population of the Mesaba region COM
posed the self-constituted fire brigade
that struggled fercely all day and far
into the night to save their homes and
property. After raging furiously all
afternoon the flames died down with
the wind in the evening and gave the
army of fighters chance to rest after
their strenuous work.
Hibbing, Nashwauk, Buhl, Bovey,
COleraine and Mountain Iron, which
were considered doomed during the
greater part Of the afternoon, are safe
again until the wind revives. There
is still ltstIe premise of rain and a
strong Wind from any direction will
fan the Qufeted flames into renewed
menace. -.5....>..
The district about Grand Marais is
cut OF by the flames and from 900 to
1000 settlers are fighting for their
Mvss, with no means Of escape. The
fire has pennsd them in and the
aames are rushing toward the lake
shore with fearful rapidly. Many
settlers may be forced to take refuge
in the waters of Lake Superior. A
frantic appeal for help was sent to
Duluth by the steamer America,
which brought down many of the set
tiers. The United States steamship
Gopher, with two companies Of the
naval reserves, has left for the north
shore with provisions and will pick
up all settlers foBnd along the shore
Of the lake. Grand Marais, a village
of about six hundred inhabitants, it is
feared will be total loss. There are
no telegraph connections with the vii
lage and no railroad there. Many lives
may DO lost If the fires destroy the
town, as there would not be boats
enough to pick up all the inhabitants.
Between Nashwauk and Hibbing,
region of twenty-five. miles long, the
forests are one continuous battle front
of flames. From Hibbing it is an ap-
palling sight and big clouds of smoke
are pouring over the threatened city,
hiding the sun as though the sky was
overcast with rain clouds.
Northwest of Hibbing the flames
have spread over a wide area of tim
Der and the burning district is increas-
ing rapidly. Between Chisholm and
BAIL, a distance OF eight miles, there
are many small fires, which threaten
hourly to be famed into confiagra-
tons. =

The column of 5000 men under
Colonel Allfx marched out from Bou-

camp at Djorf. When half the dis
lance had been traversed, the French
encountered the Arabs, who with reck-
less courage hurled themselves upon
the front and tanks simultaneously,
seeking to cut off Boudenib, but the
artillery kept up terrible fire, in
the face of which the Arabs were I'M
able to approach to close quarters.
They returned again and again to
the charge, leaving their dead in
heaps, but finally became discouraged
and retired. Colonel Allix followed up
his advantage and occupied the camp.
