the west side tenement house. wrecked

Between 80 and 30 men. women and
children. sleeping in the building at the
time were tossed in all directions and
buried beneath debris by the force Of
the explosion. Twenty-Five unin-
jured have been rescued.
Twenty-four hours more at least, ac-
cording to Fire Marshal O'Connor
would be necessary to clear away the
mass of debris and ice IN order to fully
determine whether others are In the
ruins. Late today firemen said they
heard moaning under portions Of the
ruins which could be reached, and AZ
a result, five persons were taken from
the spot.

Dwight objected, stating while no
was not suspicious Of the senator from
Fergus. still he believed the motion
was made to delay the progress Of the
bill.
Several of the senator's expressed the
opinion the matter oouiA - tlsseAl,4a
out In committee OF the whole. lzo~
gan said there was nothing to the point
raised. inasmuch as cities derived their
authority and powers from the lesisla-
ture. Lane came back with the remark
he was glad to see the senator from
Yellowstone had seen a new light on
the subject since the constitutional
convention bill was up when he con-
tended cities were ham-strung by the
provisions of tho constitution.
There was more discussion and then
Dwight turned to Senator Lane and
asked: 'Who asked you to have this
bill re-referred?" @I-',
With a broad grin on his face Sena-
tor Lane arose and answered:
MY constituents
The motion was lost.
A petition was received, from some
Prairie county residents asking the en-
actment Of law changing the time
when prohibition shall go into effect
to December 81, 1917. It was referred
to the committee ON public morals.

Russia Faces Revolt

l'y Isaac Don Levine, in the New York Tribune.)
Not since the days of the revolution in 1905 has
the tension in Russia been strained as it is today
The latest act Of Protopopoff minister of the inter-
ior, provoked the nations feelings almost to the
bursting point of revolt. The situation in Russia
was dangerous and critical as at the pres
cnt moment
Protopopoff has just struck the ugliest blow yet at
the popular forces and the allied cause. He pre-
vented by force the executive meetings of the great
national organizations engaged in helping the
ministry to supply the army with munitions and
food. No more revolving and provoking act on the
part of the government could have been possible.
The national organizations, such as the ALI Rus
sian Zemestvo union and the Union of Municipalities
are doing nothing less than prosecuting war for
the Russian people. The Russian government has
shown itself incapable and unwilling to co operate
fully and heartily with the allies To fill this gap
the Russian people produced several society organ
zations whose activities are entirely devoted to mu-
nlonins OF and providing for the army.
These activities were appreciated by the dis
missed war minister, General Shuvaicff as to cause
him openly to take the side of the social bodies dur
ing the contest between Premier Sturmer and the
duma The chiefs of the army well as the rank
ana file are extremely grateful to the Russian public
for the efforts that made possible the rehabilitation
OF the army after the disastrous retreat of 1915
How tremendous these popular efforts were can be
judged from the fact that the two leading public
bodies mentioned above have an annual budget
| reaching into billions.
But Sturmer and the Germa nophes saw in them

QUEER CAPER IN SENATE
Republican State Land
Board Denuded of Power
of Appointments.

Helena. Feb. 2.-(Special Corre-
neutrality-suspicious. bills IS and 6s,
taking away from the Republican
state land board the appointment of
clerks and examiners and giving that
power to the registrar and state land
agent. respectively. were passed
through committee Of the whole in the
senate today and concurred in ON third
reading by vote of % to IL.
In committee Of the whole the SEN
ate killed S. b. So. giving to district
court clerks naturalization fees and a
resolution by Whiteside authorizing
and directing the state land board to
sell 100000 worth Of securities at
par and accrued interest and reinvest
the money in farm loans s. B. IS by
Smith. placing justices Of the peace in
townships with a population over 5000
on a salary basis was re-referred to
the judiciary committee to amend it SO
as to exclude rural districts.
Dwight. who originally opposed the
bill. after hearing Smiths exposition
of the abuses Of the present system,
withdrew his objections and said he
was in favor of the bill il 1t would
have a tendency to make justices OF
the peace honest.
Whiteside made an effort to save
his resolution after the committee
arose. He demanded a roll call on his
motion to segregate, stating he wanted
to place the senate on record SO the
farmers would know who were their
friends. A score Of senators resented
this remark, and the record shows that
only Arnold and Whiteside are the
farmers friends. all the others voting
in the negative.
The debate over the house bills re-
lating to the appointment of help in
the state land office was short Be-
fore the senate went into committee OF
the whole Kane moved the bills be
taken off and referred to the commit
tee on public lands with instructions
to hold the measures until such time
as the special committee appointed to
investigate the land office reports.
Senator Edwards objected. taking the
position that under the present sys-
TENN vogue since the Eleventh as

ity in the land office. and that by CIV
ing the appointive power to the regis
ter and the land agent. who are named
by the governor. the executive would
be directly responsible. He pointed
out that the examiners will be re-
sponsible for the investment Of thou
sands Of dollars in farm loans, and
urged that under the proposed law the
governor would have to take the re-
sponsibility. He contended that few
partisan jobs should not stand In the
way of directly placing this big re.
sponsibility. contending that under the
present system. II there were losses
people would suffer, but the blame
could not be placed.
