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.

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

the duty of the legislature to take action
in defense of the North Dakota points.
The resolution was passed.

Eugene Gross, a prominent merchant
of this city, while driving home from

held tip by two toughs, who accosted

in Mr. Gross' possession was a heavy

good effect, leaving one of the fellows
lying insensible in the road from a

the other to take to his heels. Mr. Gross
returned to the city pretty well shaken

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. -

Scheme to Establish the. Chatta
nooga and Chickamauga Mili
tary Park.
, Washington, D. 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.

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

A PRINCE OF SCOUNDRELS.
Debt Collector Lesclide Has an
Unsavory Record.
PrrrsFiELD, Mass., Jan. 10.— Frank!
D. 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 secured a box
at the postoffice, stating that he would
call for his mail Jan. 10, and it was while
taking mail from his box that he was ar
rested. Lesclide left here Saturday for
Westfield, He visited Springfield
later, and Sunday night left for
Bridgeport Harris went to Bridge
port with Lesclide, returning "to
Boston Tuesday night while Les
clide went to Philadelphia on the same
day. The police learn that Lesclide
visited Pittsfield a year ago under the
name of T. W. Harris, representing
Sorague's Bad Debt Collecting agency
of Chicago. Advices from Chicago, re
ceived to-night, state that Lesclide
is a defaulter to Spragtte to the ex
tent of several hundred dollars, and
that they want him for trial. No doubt
exists that the man is an exceptionally
clever swindler, and Dun & - Co.'s
agents who are here congratulated
themselves that the man has been run
to cover. Lesclide is held for Gov.
Brackett's requisition.

Three Children Swallow Strych
nine and Now Wear Wings.
Donaldsonvii.ee, La., Jan. 10.—
Yesterday, three children died suddenly
in the New River section, this parish.
Investigation shows that they had
come to their death from poison,
"supposed to be strychnine. The pa
rents, J. W. Brayden and wife, had re
cently moved and found in the house a
phial which they supposed contained
quinine. Their children had been suf
fering from malaria, so they made pills
out of the contents of the phial and ad
ministered them to the children, who
shortly after died from the effects of the
poison.' '

ALL BY ELECTRICITY.
Thomas Lowry Concludes to
Abolish Cables and Horses
as Motors.
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
