Montana Republicans Are Scheming- to Secure Con trol of the Senate, Gov. Toole Refuses to Give Sanders and Powers Cer tificates of Election. North Dakota Senators Adopt a Resolution to Adjourn Feb. 16. Hawkeye Insurance Men Pro pose to Make South Dako ta's Auditor Sweat. Special to the Globe. Helena, Mont, Jan. 10.— While the election of United States senators has calmed the political situation to a great extent, there is yet a feeling of great uncertainty among the legislators. The Republicans will make no concessions looking to an investigation of the al leged frauds in the tunnel precinct of Silver Bow county, evidently preferring to wait until the United States "senate takes some action in the case of the rival senators. The Democrats are show ing a disposition to make any reasona ble concession, so as to bring* the two houses together and proceed with needed legislation, which the state is calling for. There can be uo term of the supreme court until undisputed leg islative action is taken; appropriations for state expenses cannot be made, and all the public business must remain at a standstill. The deadlock in the sen ate is just as bad as that in the house. The Democratic senators refuse in every way to acknowledge the legality of the organization of that body, and only come in when notified by the sergeant-at arms, and then they refuse to vote, leaving that body without a quorum. This difficulty the Republicans propose to overcome by declaring vacant the seat of McNamara, Democrat on the ground that being a post-trader he is a government official, and, therefore. Ineligible to the office, of state senators. This done, the senate will stand eight Republicans and seven Democrats. All the senators expect to leave for Washington not later than Monday, and will probably travel to gether. .Sanders and Power applied to Gov. Toole this afternoon for certificates of election which the governor refused to issue to them, having already given certificates to Clark and Maginnis. Sanders and Power then induced "Secre tary of State Rowitt to attach the great seal of state to a certified copy of the proceedings of the senate and house which the Republicans will take to Washington instead of the governor's certificate. The certificates of the Dem ocratic senators lack the seal which the Republican secretary of state refused to attach. SOME CALL IT DEMAGOGY". North Dakota -cnators Adopt a Resolution Calling Short the Session. Special to the Globe. Bismarck, N. D., Jan. 10.— After a heated discussion, in which members were charged with demagogy and in sincerity, the senate to-day passed the resolution designating Feb. 10 as the day of final adjournment It is a con current resolution, and at present there is no prospect, of its being accepted by the house. The event in the house was the introduction of a resolution by Stevens calling tor the appointment of a special committee to investigate the charges against the Northern Pacific and the Manitoba Railroad companies to the effect that they are discriminating against Dakota points in favor of St. Paul and Minneapolis. Stevens made a speech in support of his resolution, calling attention to the complaints be ing submitted, and declared that it was the duty of the legislature to take action in defense of the North Dakota points. The resolution was passed. DOESN'T TO EAT. ; .'. A Washington Forger Decides to to Starve Himself. Special to the Globe. .' '• '-]' Tacoma, Wash., Jan. 10.— H.

Bills to Admit Wyoming and Idaho to be Reported. • Washington, Jan. 10.— An earnest effort has been made recently by the friends of New Mexico to persuade the territorial committees of house and sen ate to agree to report an "omnibus" bill admitting the territories of Idaho. Wyoming and New Mexico to state hood. The friends of Idaho and Wyo ming expect partisan opposition from the Democratic side of the house and senate to the passage of the bills for the admission of those two territories, and it has been suggested that a union of interests with New Mexico would in sure their success. Senator Piatt, the chairman of the senate committee, how ever, has advised against an omnibus bill, and his committee will, on Mon day, report two individual bills for the admission of Wyoming and Idaho.

CITY OF NATION. Washingtonians Want the World's Fair Held at the Capital. *— * ■ No Other City Can Offer So Many Decided Advan tages. Chicagoans and Gothamites Will Sing Their Respect ive Songs To-Day. . : §;',{i The President Demands and Receives Register Trot ter's Resignation. Washington, Jan. 10.— The second hearing on the selection of the site for the quadra-centennial exposition was held this morning in the reception room of the senate wing of the capital, when the claims of the city of Washington were presented. There were present of the committee, Senators Hiscock (chair man), Hawley, Farwell, Wilson (of Iowa), Colquitt, Ransom and Vest. "Mr. Douglas, one of the district commission ers, stated the order in which the arguments would be pre sented, and closed his remarks by Baying that if it should be concluded to hold the exposition else where than in the national capitol, the citizens of the District of Columbia would make every exertion, by money or otherwise, to make it a magniffcent success. Mr. Anderson, secretary of the national board of prcmotion of the three America's exposition, * opened the aiguments. He said he rep resented a committee of citizens from all the states and territories, who under the name of the board of. promotion, have been acting in the matter for the last three or four years. He sum marized the provisions of the bills in troduced by Senators Gorman and Faulkner and argued that the buildings to be erected for the fair should be per manent, and should be under govern ment control. It should be in the nature of a museum, free of charge and not an exhibit of perishable property. The two leading features of the exposition were: First— To commemorate a great historical ' event— the discovery of America by Colum bus; and, -- • Second— The commercial idea, which: might be called the three Americas trade - movement. . .' : . z\- .-.'■' ;• ■.; - The details of the plan were to be left to a government commission. He simply advocated the general proposi tion and idea which, he thought, was' entertained by the people at large— that, the expenses of the exposition should be undertaken by the nation. It was evident that the whole people were ready and anxious to celebrate the great event, and thought that the national capital was the only proper site. The reasons foi selecting Washington were numerous. Washington was' THE CITY OF THE NATION. and of all the cities of the country. It was the city of St. Louis. Chicago and New York: by. which he meant that the people of those cities had mote control in regulating the affairs of the District of Columbia than its own residents had. It was truly re presentative American city. It was composed of inhabitants of all the states and territories. It was governed by the people of the United states through their representatives in congress. There would be no waste in having the exhi bition here, because whatever buildings would be erected tor it would be needed for all time for governmental purposes. It was evident that the exposition would have to go to the government, or else the government would have to go to the exposition, and he thought it more digniliet that the exposition should come to the seat of government. There was. in the heart of the city, a park more accessible than any park in any city in the world, extending from the capitol to the Washington monument. This park included 300 acres, and could be increased by TOO acres more from the Potomac flats. Wharves could be es tablished on the Potomac river, where exhibits could be landed from all parts of the world. As to hotel accommoda tions, he said that there was no city in the world so ELASTIC IN HOTEL FACILITIES.": -*•■? The city of Washington was practi cally a boarding house. It was accus tomed to be transformed into a board ing house on great occasions. There never had been any difficulty in that respect at inaugural ceremonies or oth er great conventions or gatherings. At the recent triennial couclave of the Knights Templar 70.000 strangers had been accommodated, and there were from 900 to 1,000 rooms uncalled for at the bureau of information. Besides that there was the whole city of Balti more within forty-five minutes' reach to draw upon. Washington possessed the finest streets and avenues in the world, lined with beautiful shade trees. It was the center of historic points which were of great interest to the American people— the tomb of Washington, the surrounding battlefields . and other places. Then there were the public departments, the museum and the Smithsonian institution, where the peo ple of Centrat and South America could study the fown of government which all of them had to a greater or less extent copied. Myron M. Parker, president of : the Washington board of trade.followed. : Maj. Powell, of the geological survey, and Gen"! Felix Agnus, of the Baltimore * American, closed the arguments for Washington. The committee adjourned till 10 o'clock to-morrow, when the' claims of New York and Chicago are to be heard. The discussion of the world's fair bill by the house committee on for eign affairs has resulted in bringing forward a proposition which, it is sug gested, may aid in the .' SELECTION OF THE SITE. for the fair by the house. The commit-' tee has already decided that It will re port a bill leaving blank the name of the city where the fair shall be held; but it is feared that if it goes" into the house in that shape and without "some" arrangement iv advance to govern the selection of a site, no agreement can ever be reached. Under tne ordinary : parliamentary rules the probable course of proceedings in the house would be for some member to move to insert the name of the site. Some other member would thereupon move to strike out that name and insert another. On the vote on this last proposition the opposii; tiou would combine to defeat it. and this would probably be. the fate of the original and succeeding motions.thead vocates of the different' cities de irintg to secure the proposed fair kilt ing each other off in succession.. To avoid this, the subcommittee charged with the consideration of the fair bill has taken a hint from the action of the appropriatj&ns committee in securing iul6.lfate action upon certain clauses of the District of Columbia appropriation, bill, and inclines to report a, special proposition which will : provide for re peated ballots in the house upon the question of naming the site for the fair, with the agreement that ou each ballot the name of the city receiving the least number of votes shall be dropped, and In this way it is believed that a conclu sion can soon be reached. - GOTHAM IS IN EARNEST. Boomers Prepare a Bill Proviil- ing for a World's Fair. New York, Jan. 10.— The legislative committee of the world's fair commit tee has prepared an act to provide for "An exhibition of arts, sciences, manu factures and products of the soil, mine and sea. at the city of New York."

It is sup- ' posed a new appointment will be made shortly. An inquiry made by Senator ' !

C, Jan. 10.— A bill has been prepared by Gen. Grosvenor, establishing the Chattanooga and Chick amauga National Military park, which has the support of the leading members of the societies of the Army of the Cum berland, the Army of the Tennessee, and the Army of the Potomac, and all the leading ex-Confederate officers en gaged in the battle^ indicated. I. pro vides that upon jurisdiction being ceded to the United States by the states of Tennessee and Georgia, the public roads along the crest of Mis sionary Ridge, from the north end of Sherman's heights to Ross^ ville, the road from Rossville to Mc- Farland's Gap, and the road from Ross ville by way of Lee and Gordon's Mills to Crawfish Springs, shall become ap proaches to and parts of the said na tional park. The park proper, to which title is to be obtained by the United States by condemnation and purchase after the ceding of jurisdiction by the state of Georgia, embraces the battle field of Chickamauga, and is to be bounded by a line starting on the La fayette road just north of the Cloud house; thence west to McFarland's Gap; thence along the Dry Valley road from Crawfish Springs to Lee and Gor don's Mills; thence to these mills; thence down the Chickamauga river to Reed's bridge, and . thence to the place of beginning, covering "about 7,0')0 acres. The affairs of "the. park are to be managed under the sec retary of war by three commissioners, : one to be an army officer. It is made the duty of these commissioners under the secretary of war to ascertain and substantially mark all battle lines. The Chickamauga Memorial association, an. incorporation under the laws of Georgia, and the authorities of any of the states which had . troops in the battles of Chickamauga or Chattanooga, are given the right, to ascertain and mark the lines of their troops subject to the ap oroval of the secretaiy of war, who shall •have the right to decide disputed points. Present owners of . property on the j field within the proposed limits of the I park are to be allowed to remain if they so desire on their lands alter purchase 'by the government upon terms which amount to little more than an agree ment on their part to preserve .the buildings which were standing at the ' time of the battle, and the present out lines of fields and forests, and to help care, for and preserve the ! marks which may be placed on the field: An appro priation of ?'250,000 is provided for car rying the act into effect. The bill has been ..under consideration, by a large number of soldiers of both armies for over a year.

DEMAND A NEW TRIAL The Assassins of Dr. Cronin Fly in the Face of t- _ Fortune. Having Escaped the Gallows By a Scratch They Want to Go Free. Footpads Relieve the City Treasurer of a Big Roll. Evictions of Strikers at Punx satawney Almost Result in a Riot. Chicago, Jan. Late this after noon Attorneys Wing, Donahoe and Forrest filed a motion for a new trial in the cases of Coughiin, Burke, O'Sulli van and Kunze.convicted of the murder of Dr. Cronin. The motion was filed to-day in accordance with the order of Judge McConnell, before whom the arguments will be made Monday. The motion assigns thirty-nine causes of error in the rulings of Judge McCon nell during the trial of the case. These grounds of alleged error embrace every point contested by the attorneys for the defense, and range from an objec tion to the court's overruling the motion to quash the indict ments up to the assertion that the defense has, since the trial, discov ered new evidence which entitles them to a new trial. The first error alleged is that the court erred in overruling the motion to quash the indictment made on behalf of each of the defendants. The denial of Coughlln's motion for a sepa rate trial is made the basis of four of the alleged errors, there being a separate count for each of the defendants. The refusal of the court to permit the de fense to show that Messrs. Mills, Ing ham and Hynes were employed in the I prosecution by private parties who were ACTUATED BY IMPROPER MOTIVES is alleged to have been prejudicial to ; the defendants. The court's allowing these three lawyers to assist in the prosecution is said to be an error. Mr. Hynes is made a subject of a special count in the motion, in which he is said to have been moved by a spirit of per sonal hostility toward Coughiin, Burke and O'Sullivan, and was not fit to act as a prosecuting attorney. The overrul ing of the challenge for cause, preferred by the defendants to a long list of , veniremen whose names are given in' ; the motion, is further alleged to be an error. Side remarks made by the state's attorney while examining jurors are charged to have been improper. Judge Lougenccker's opening statement to the jury is c ted as an error, and char acterized as improper and illegal ami prejudicial to the rights of the defend ants. " It is also alleged to have been an error in the case for the failure of the ' court to enforce the rule excluding wit nesses for the state from the court room during the trial. It is Charged that im proper remarks of the counsel tor the state excited tho " PASSIONS AND PREJUDICES of the jurors against the defendants. It is charged as error.that the prosecution was permitted to introduce as evidence and exhibit to the jury the clothing, in struments and hair of Dr. Cronin, the false teeth, the trunk, and all the ma terial evidence in the case. The intro duction of Dr. Cronin's knives, after the state had closed its case, is said to have been in error. Objection is made to a number of the instructions given to the jury by the court The verdict is pro nounced as contrary to law and not justified by the. evidence, and finally it is said that "the defendants and each one of them have discovered evidence which entitles them to a new trial." ROBBED IN BKOAD DAYLIGHT The City Treasurer of Depere Vic timized, by a Footpad. Depere, Wis., Jan. 10.— City Treas urer Edward Vandewiele was last night the victim of a robbery to the amount of §300. At the close of the day's busi ness he had in his possession about $1,200. This amount he was desirous of depositing in the bank, and in his anx iety to do so before the bank closed he forgot two packages of $300 and $500 re spectively, which, with other money, was separately placed in a pocketbook. On his way home he entered a saloon on the principal business street and passed out through the back door. While in the alley he thought to remove the pocketbook to an inner vest pocket for greater safety. In the act of doing so lie received a .violent blow in the breast the pocketbook was snatched from his hand and the robber ran rap idly down a back street. Ineffectual search was made for the robber. ITALIANS FOLD GUNS. Evictions at Punxsutawney Al most Result in a Hiot. Punxsutawney, Pa., Jan. There were only three families of the striking miners evicted to-day, two Hungarian and one Italian. There was considera ble excitement, but no violence. After the sheriff, accompanied by thirty-three Pinkertons armed with Winchesters, had thrown out an Italian family at Walston, about 300 of their countrymen collected, and began yelling and firing into the air. About 200 shots were fired, and they were getting more excit ed as the music of their ; revolvers in creased. - This happened about 4 o'clock this afternoon. Master Workman Wil son arrived on the scene just at this time, went among them and told them they must keep quiet and not break the peace or they would ruin their cause. Wilson says that it is his sincere conviction that had he not happened on the scene when he did, there would have been one ol the bloodiest riots ever seen in this country. . He says the Ital ians were terribly excited, and were worked up almost to that pitch where a crowd becomes a howling insane mob. There will, it is thought be a great many more evictions to-morrow. Mr. Wilson says it is a difficult matter to maintain peace,' but that every effort has and will be made to induce the for eign element to respect the majesty of the law. The evicted families are be ing taken in by their friends. The miners' agents are t.king care of their effects, . and making preparations to house and feed them if necessary. An other- warrant was sworn out- to-day charging a Pinkerton man with assault Buried Under T^'aLing Walls. "• Augusta, Ga., Jan. 10.— A serious fire occurred to-night at the Riverside mills waste factory on the bank of the Savannah river in this city. About 8:30 o'clock a sec tion of the northern wall and the roof fell in, burying a mumber of men, who were engaged in throwing out bales i of paper stock and rolls of bagging from the windows of the second story.

Lesclide, who was arrested yesterday in Philadelphia at the instance of Chief of Police Nicholson, of this town, charged with obtaining money by false pretenses and fraud, came to this place Dec. 1, in company with J. W. Harris and Frank Warrof Chicago. They claimed to be agents of a Lad debt collecting association, that it was incorporated under the Pennsyl vania laws and a branch of R. G. Dun & Cos. Commercial agency. Lesclide visited several local " merchants and obtained S3 to $10 from each, leav ing here to operate in Westfield, Hart ford, Bridgeport and other cities. When pun & Co.'s special agent learned of his doings he took steps to apprehend him. It-was learned that Lesclide had operated in Boston, where he was said to have been very successful among some of the prominent firms of that city. While here he guaranteed to collect 80 per cent of all the bad' debts of any firm that would pay him $10. In case of failure he agreed to re fund the firm's subscription to the agency. The book which he sold had on the outside cover a copy of a certificate purporting to be' issued in the state of Pennsylvania, stat ing that Dun's Collecting 'agency, lim ited, is a legally organized company, under the laws of the state of Pennsyl vaninia, and signed "Benjamin Thom as, recorder." The police have discov ered that no such man exists and that the certificate is fraudulent. He had his mail addressed to Frank Dun, Phil adelphia.

He Abandons His Minneapo* lis Cable Project After Spending $400,0C0. Horses to Be Sold and Elec tricity to Be Used on All . the Lines. The Same Heroic Treatment to Be Applied to All the St. Paul Lines. The improvements announced to be made by the Minneapolis Street Rail way company, which have followed one after the other so rapidly— the proposed cable lines and extensions, the banish ment of the detested bob-tails, the adop tion of a transfer system— have nat urally occasioned surprise as well a3 gratification, and the making of con tracts and orders for construction that have been given have added the assurance that the company is in earnest, and evidently as desirous as is the public that Minneapolis should be provided with a thoroughly, equipped and modern street railway service. A radical change has been decided upon, however, with the concurrence of the city council— the adoption of electricity as a motive power to succeed the draw ing of cars by horses, as at present, and as a substitute for tiie proposed eaolo lines on First avenue south, Washing ton avenue, -from Nineteenth avenue north to Cedar avenue, on Hennepin avenue to East Minneapolis, and on Bloomington avenue. THE CHANCE, or rather the cause for the change, which will involve the abandonment of material and work, already begun or ordered, amounting to between #300.000 and $400,000 in cost, came about in this way: The Fourth avenue line was set aside for the trial of electricity, and late in the fall was fitted up for the Thomp son-Houston system. Dec. 14, at noon, the first car left the Twenty-fourth street barn and traversed the en tire line without a hitch. Since that date cars have been running continuously, and the system has been subjected to the most trying conditions of a Minnesota ■ winter. Changeable weather, severe cold and heavy snow have been experienced, and the cars operated by electricity have been delayed less and less trouble has been experienced in keeping the lino open with the cars on time than on either the motor line or the horse car lines. Not only that, but It has been demonstrated that electricity is tha cheapest and the MOST SATISFACTORY motive power. (.The cars" have rim smoothly, rapidly and comparatively noiselessly. The people along the lino have been delighted with the change, and those who have the choice of taking the motor or the electric lino have been found to invariably prefer the latter, even if they were obliged to walk soma little distance to reach their homes. Thomas Lowry. the president of the street railway company, was a doubting Thomas on the subject of electricity as applied to street rail way service. Nevertheless, he was willing to give it a trial, as he was any other motive power, just as he had tried soda motors in the past, but he was not at all sanguine. He is as much surprised probably as any one at the complete success of the electric line. He has ex amined its workings personally, besides making inquiries concerning similar lines now in operation in various large cities, and. .finally, almost against his will, has been convinced that electricity is the motive power above all others to be selected for street railway service. Although, as has been stated, the street railway company had already ordered the MATERIAL AND MACHINERY for the construction and operation of cable lines, the building of power houses, etc. Mi. Lowry has decided to call a halt, and. with the permission of the city council, substitute electricity, not only for cable lines, but for horse . car lines as-well. He yesterday ad dressed a letter to Acting Mayor E. M. Johnson, making the request that a special meeting of the council do called for next Friday afternoon to con sider : the ' proposed change. It is not likely that any objection will be raised. WHAT THE CHANGE INCLUDES. There are in Minneapolis to-day a little over eighty miles of street rail way. When all the proposed extensions are put in this will be increased to about 110 miles. As much as possible of this will be put in this year. The cable system, which is to be abandoned and which will bo supplanted at once by the electric lines, will be com posed of a line from the union depot to Thirty-first street, via First avenue and Nicollet, the old motor line, and the Washington avenue line from Nineteenth avenue north to Cedar. These two main trunk lines, which were to have been cabled this season, will be equipped with the electric sys tem at once, and Mr. Lowry thinks he will have both lines in running order by June 1. Work on the :'. other two proposed cable lines on Hennepin avenue to the East side and on Bloomington avenue, which were to be put in next year, will be pushed as rapidly as possible, though it is not likely that they can be finished this coming fall. A most im portant feature is that from Thirty first street to Washburn Home and to Lake Harriet the electric line will be put in this season, and if possible, the motor line to Minnehaha WILL BE SUPPLANTED with the electric line before snow flies next winter. The Nineteenth avenue north line, the Emerson line, and the Washington avenue line to Shingle creek will be equipped this season; the Plymouth avenue line will be put in next-season surely, and, if possible, this season, while the line from Thirty fourth avenue to Shingle creek will be —put in as soon as it can be done. The Twenty-seventh ave nue . line to Snelling avenue and .the Cedar avenue line will be pushed as rapidly ss possible. As soon as the line is put in to supplant the proposed Hen nepin avenue cable line to Hennepin and Lyndale. an extension will be made to Lake of the Isles; the Douglas ave nue and Hawthorn avenue Hues will be pushed, and also the Western ' avenue line. On the East side the Monroe street line will be properly equipped with the : electric motors, and also the lines on Second avenue southeast. University avenue and the line ".: to Elwood's addi tion. As | soon as practicable the other I lines near Monroe street will be put in. In short, the entire street- car system j will be fitted out "and put in running : •Continued' oh Fourth Page* -:y
