Joint ballots been taken for ashort term Senator for the term expiringMarch 105 to fin the vacancy causedby the resignation of W A Clark withvery little change from day to day H TFrank of Butte has led in the Fusionvote while John MacGinness has been aclose second Franks highest vote rangedfrom 20 to 29 MacGinness once got 2S

but lately he has been losingThe remainder of the votes have been

divided between Walter Cooper of Boze-man who has 7 votes G Conrad ofGreat Falls about the same number andscattering votes between exLeutenantGovernor Spriggs Governor Toole andother Fusionists It requires fortyeightvotes to elect when all the members arepresent but a full vote rarely has beencast

cated about three miles south of thiscity some time between 11 oclock andmidnight last night and before it wasgotten under control the kitchen mainbuilding and west cellhouse were in ru-ins

The warden was awakened shortly be-fore midnight by the crackling of flameswhich he soon discovered issued fromwhat is known as the wardens kitchenadjoining the main building

The alarm was quickly sounded tileprison apparatus gotten into working

and help telephoned for from

As soon as the seriousness of the tirehad manifested itself the warden hadthe prisoners who numbered about 300

their striped garb and march intospacious prison yard where armedguards were placed at their elbows and

prevent their escapeThe warden also communicated with

Lieutenant Governor Savage who is acting In the absence of Governor Dietrichfrom the State and asked for a companyof the Nebraska National Guard to ridin guarding the prisoners Thewas promptly summoned and left on aspecial train about 4 oclock for the sceneof the lire

Owing to a stiff east wind the east cellhouse was saved it is Jio ght thisbuilding will suffice to house the prisf ners for the present at least

The wardens books papers ru l recordswere all saved from the flames but rothIng else of value could l e gottjn out ofthe burning building WmKn Davis andhis assistants were new appointees andhad only been in charge Of the poiiitei-itiary during February therefore he wasunable to state the exact amount of pe-cuniary thought would exceedJ750U0

During the early morning rumors wereafloat that a number of lied es-caped but this the warden denied saying

he had been able o eep ntrfcet or-

der and that no attempt to escape hadbeen made v

Almost all of that portion of the pcni-tentiary in which the cells were locatedwas burned between midnight and 5

his cell to get spme personal property andwas burned to death

The militiamen are assisting the prisonguards in keeping the 300 convicts herdedin the circle of buildings and smokIng

The resolution was agreed to 139 to 120

Opening the discussion Mr Richardson-of Tennessee said the legislation proposedwas the most objectionable obnoxiousand unconstitutional ever proposed to anAmerican Congress expresslythe rules of the House regardingappropriation bills The House was askedto legislate for ten million people To thatend it was proposed to send a governor tothe Philippines who was under no re-

straint but that of his own sweet will an Jhe was not to be required to obey or ob-

serve the Constitution tin his official ac-tions

There was nothing comparable to thepending amendment in the joint resolution providing for the government of theTerritory of Louisiana If gentlemen

satisfied with that legislation saidMr Richardson let them propose it asa substitute for the present measure andhe believed there would no divisionof opinion in its support

Py the pending legislation the je00 00inhabitants of the Philippines were subjected to a slavery more infamous andgalling than any heretofore known In thehistory of the Lnited States and was iviolation of every principle of every

party in the countryMr De Armond denounced the infamous

surrender of everything that was gloriousIn the treaty of the Republic by men whoseemed to glory in the fact that they werepermitted to crawl when God intendedthat they should walk upright There wasno time to properly discuss the legisla

Mr Dinsmore denounced the proposedlegislation as not only an outragefHpon

Cubans and Filipinos but upon everyhome In the Fnited States the abode ofhonor and manhood

Precedents for the Philippine proposi-tion which the Democrats denounced astyranny in the legislation for the con-trol and government of Louisiana andFlorida were presented by Mr Lacey

Mr Richardson Give it to us now Wewill give you the solid Democratic vote

Continuing Mr Lacey said those enserved their purpose well and

brought liberty to the inhabitants ofthose Territories were made bythe fathenvJeffers and Monroe Thepreseiit conditions were a repetition ofthose obtaining in JS 5 and in 1S13

Mr Dalzell pointed that the pend-ing rule was n uch3 inre liberal thanmany passed underTpi naecrate Adminis-trations The proivpsitiou Jlisr the govern-ment of the Philippines be continuedwas more generous in terms than that ofJefferson for geverniog me people of

Mr Hoar spoke of the great many wildschemes proposed for the regulation ofrailroads which if adopted would
