t.N , Neb. . .Ian. 'J.- [ Special Telegram
to Tun llrir ] II is si long way from being n
sine thing that both houses of lh ; legislature
will be organl/ed tomorrow , although there
Is a great deal of talk tonight to the effect
that the republicans will have control of
the house and the democrats ot the
senate. That , tlio democrats will control
the uppei house Is not al all impi-obable , but
It will be by indirection , /our of the demo
cratic senators are out and out railroad men ,
nnd it is the railroad democrats who are so
busilj working for fusion. Their success
means a lie-up on all railroad legislation and
stock yards hills and a general pliifrglr-p up
of all bills offensive lo monopoly interests.
The proposed fusion will not glvo the in
dependents the logisl.illon that they want ,
but will , on Ihe contrary put them whore it
will be absolutely impossible f.'il' them lo get
it. Tour of the republican seivitors stand
ready to vote with llio Independents on leg
islative questions , and would give them what
they want in this direction it they Call this
bargain with tlm democrats ofl' , but the pop
ulists scorn determined to stultify thom.se.lvos
by going Into it.
Watimi'b Cti.inces Heighten.
Meanwhile the railroad managers feel ut
terly indifferent as to which way it goes , as
they are blockading Ihe same anyway , and
they know that the democratic senators will
protect tl--ir interests.
Hut it is nobody's light yet. An effort was
made this afternoon lo unite the republicans
on Watson for speaker , as he claimed to
have the pledges of at least two democrats
and possibly more. Mr. Keckley announced
that he would not go into a caucus or sup
port Watson under any consideration.
Several of Keckley's supporter's will doubt
less follow bis example in this particular ,
and Watson's chances under thcso circum
stances are doubtful.
Watsons' friends insist that he can make
It , but the indications tonight are that it
will bo impossible for him to muster the
necessary voles even with the aid of demo
crat friends.
It was claimed for Watson in the confer
ence that hu had severed his connection
with the railroads , hut Mr. Kcckloy was not
disposed to take any chances on this alleged
convention.
The democrats have not yet hold any cau
cus , as their light has thus far been man
aged by the steerinif coinniiltco appointed by
the state central committee.

when they arrived In Lincoln. Uiil under
the tin-face It Is eis.v to see that a pretty
thorough understanding exists between the

All have agreed from the start that the
combination should bo affected. The only
contention has been upon the matter of
detail.
liming rinity of Talk.
The members of indupumtent contingent
went into conference in room 1G1 ! this morn
ing ut 10 o'clock. They stayed lliero until
noon , and adjourned without dcllnlto rcsujls.
This afternoon the fourteen members of the
scnato held a caucus at the state house.
.Still no definite results. At 8 o'clock this
pvenlnjr the doors were cloned and llio endless -
less talk continued.
Jntc this evening a telegram was received
by Chester Norton which had u slight ten
dency to dishearten the independents. H
was as follows ; *

To tflsrrc'ilU this news the Independents
whispered mysteriously of another telegram
received this evening which brought Ihe in
telligence that tlio recreant clerk was
it ill in hiding , und that no apprehension of
his disjovcry need be foil. When challenged
0 the proof however , the Independents worn
ompolled to admit th : t the dlapateh ante-

ho matter of some concern for several days.
Mr. Nelson is able to bo ubout the house , but
ils physical appearance shows that ho is far
rom being a well man.
Claim u Combination.
At 10 o'clock this evening it was stated by
1 prominent member that everything had
icen arranged satisfactory in regard to the.
organization of the two houses and the dis
tribution of oftlcial plums , but that diflieulty
Btlll existed over the control of the commit
tee. The Independents have insisted all
along upon absolute control in shaping legis-
alion. Upon this point the democrat con-
lingcnt sticks , and the same member that
wrought the information gave it as his bc-
ief that the whole scheme would fail be
cause of the dillicnlty of opinion upon a
matter in which some democrats uro ex
pected the combination by their votes , are
vitally Interested.
Nothing for Tliom to < 5iln : ,
One of the independent , members in speak
ing of the propose- ! fusion wit h the demo
crats said : -This talk about the independents
uniting ajrninst the common enemy is all
right , but the claim that the republicans is
a common enemy is all rot. How are the
independents going to aid themselves by
slrongthrujn } : the party that is in power ;
It was all right to unite with them two
years ago , when this republicans were
on top. but it is different now. The thing
for us to do is to go with thu republicans ,
if it is necessary to make auytlc-np , and in
that way harras'i instead of carrying com
fort to the dominant national party. What
( jots mo is to sco how the followers whu
were so bitterly opposed to democrats twn
years ago are now so anxious to fuse with
them. I don't know as I ought to M.I v it ,
but it looks tome as If the democratic na
tional committee was nprndinjr some money
in Lincoln just about this time.1
Some of the democrat heads ol
state institutions have taken a ham !

strongly manifested interest partakes
largely of the brand commonly designated as

Vim ( 'mnp Cnpturi'il.
Keb. , Jan. 2. [ Special to Tut :
line. ] Secretary of Stats J. C. Allen will bo
the cynosure of nil eyes when ho calls the
house of representatives to order at blitli
noon tomorrow. Upon him will rest the re
sponsibility of deciding whether or not the
name of James G. Krusc shall ho read us the
legal representative ol the Twentieth legis
lative district. As the matter stands at
present Kruso holds a certillcatc of election
us a member of the house from Knox county.
According lo Iho decree of the supreme
court thit : ccrlillca'te Is declared to Do null
nnd void. A bailiff of the supreme court has
for three days been searching the trackless
wilds of Ivnox county for County Cleric Van
Qanip , who is In hiding. The democrats and
independents , so many of whom are
damning the 'supremo court , maintain
that until Vim Camp Is found and a new
certificate Issued , this time to Chester Nor
ton , the certlllcato now In possession of
Kruso must and shall be recognized. The
fear that the sccretaryof state will not coin
cide in their views is the occasion of a great
deal of mental perturbation upon the part of
the men who do not hesitate to boast that
the decision of the supreme court will be
disregarded and Iho court Itself defied.
Correct View ( if the Cm- .
A prominent lawyer who has occupied the
bench in N'cbrasku for many years , discussed
the matter In an entirely new light this
afternoon. Ho said :
"Kvrn if we accept the view of the demo
cratic oracles , wo must conclude that they
are In the wrong. They assert that
until the county clerk of Knox
county issues a eortilicato to Norton the
certlllcato now held by Id-use is in full
force and effect. They make no claim -ow
that , Kruso was elected as a representative
from the Twentieth district. They do not
oven claim that the certlllcato he now holds
is a legal one. They simply assort with the
confidence born of partisan bravado , that
until a legal certificate can bo issued , the
illegal ono must bo accepted by the secretary
of state , and that a man be seated as the
representative of Hoyd county who , from the
time ho was nominated down lo the day his
cortillcato was declared illegal , has never
asserted or claimed that ho was elected to
represent that county. Kruso holds certill-
cate as the representative of Knox county.
The supreme court has declared that Hoyd
county shall bo included in the Twentieth
roprcsentalive district. The whole argu
ment upon which the friends of Kruso have
based their claim that ho is entitled to hold
a seat to which ho was illegally elected until
the man who was legally elected can obtain
bflleiiil evidence of the fact , is a tissue of
fallacies as unworthy of consideration as Un
reasonable in fact. "

the decree in which the certllicato now hoi

turpolutlou upon tlio part of men who uro ci :
gaged in n conspiracy to rtefcat ttiowllt of

disposes of the nllepatlrtn by snylnp : "if

Have Combined.
SAN FIIANCISCO , Cal , , .Ian. ! ) . The Cali
fornia legislature will assemble tomorrow
for the biennial session. The legislature Is
composed of llfty-nlno democrats , fifty-three
republicans and eight populists. The chief
interest of the session consists in the selec-
tion'of n United States senator lo succeed
Charles II. Kelloti. The leading names be
fore the assembly will bo .lohn II. White of
Los Angeles , \V. YV. Footc of Alumeda and
.lames Coman of San Francisco on the demo
cratic side , and Hon. Charles Fclton of San
Mutoo , M. H. Do Young und U. M. Ksteo on
the republican side.
The democrats lack only two votes of a
majority on joint ballot , while the repub
licans lack eight Statements have been is-
siU to the effect that the populists will
vote with the reimbllcans for the election of
a United States senator , but this is denied
by populists , who state that they will vote
as a unit for their preference , that being
Thomas V. Cater of San Francisco. The
republicans and democrats are looking with
doubt to the votes of IJi'irkeof San Francisco ,
who was elected to the assembly us a nonpartisan -
partisan , and Carlson , independent , of San
Diego , both of whom have been classed with
the republicans. Assuming that the popu
lists combine with the republicans , the
legislature will be tied on joint ballot und it
will devolve upon Governor Markham , who
is a republican , to appoint a senator.
Ono feature of the- contest is the with
drawal since Saturday of Foolo , who. next
to White , is considered the most promising-
democratic candidate. Ho states that his
withdrawal was inspired by a wish to avoid
injuring the democratic side by dividing its
forces.

Topr.KA , Kan. . Jan. i. The Intensity of tlio
interest In the tight for United States - senator
tor in Kansas has practically overshadowed
qnesllons of leglslnllmi. All that has been
said and written about the coining session
since election has had reference to the selec
tion of Senator I'erkins' successor , rather
than to the passage , amendment or repeal of
laws.
The legislature will not open until a week
hence , and all matters regarding Its organ-
izaliou and Its probable action are in a cha
otic stale. IJoth the scuatorlaland the legis
lative questions bingo upon theorgaiii/atlon
or the house. The republicans , have a bare
majority of one in the house , and if they can
compel the attendance of e\cry republican
member and keep them in line there seems
to bo every reason to believe that they will
succeed in organizing the bouse. That done ,
they will have the power , if they dcslro to
use It , to unseat enough populists tir secure
a majority on joint ballot and to elect a re
publican successor to Senator Perkins lo till
out the imexpnvd term of the Into Senator
Plumb , Perkins having been appointed to
serve only until the present session of the
legislature.
In tlio Slulc Snmtr.
On the other hand , the p.ipuHsts have a
majority in the senate and will bo able to un
seat the entire minority of eleven members , if
necessary , to overcome on joint ballot the
majority of the ronublicans. which might
.secure the unseating of populists in the
house. The light then would degenerate
into a question of which party could unseat
the most members. Until parties disclaim
any intention of unseating anybody. In that
event the republicans will be able to organ-
i/.o the house. The populists will ha\o a
majority of three in the senate , and the four
straight-out democrats , Hirco in the house
and one in Ihe senate , will hold the balance
of power on joint b.illot , the parties in joint
session being divided as follows : Hcpub-
licans , 7J : ; populists. " : ! ; democrats , 1.
Up to the time the populists' leaders at
their Indianapolis meeting Issued thu mani
festo , urging all populist legislators to sup
port only striightout populist candidates for
the senate , the chances seemed good for a
fusion of populists and democrats upon a
senatorial candidate , either some liberal
democrat , who accepted the bquls of the pop
ulist principles , like John MartlnjH\some
'
populist who'hnii ' Uomoeratlc'tciKlbncics. lllio
Congi > ! ssman-c.lect Harris. , The manifesto ,
however , seems now lo have precluded Such
a possibility. The populists arc inclined to
obey their leader's oricr , and the democrats
are perfectly willing lo lot them attempt to
elect with a minority , while they ( the demo
crats ; hold tlie balance of power.
Citmlldtitf' ol * thn Itrjiiibllc.tos.
Senator Perkins is a candidate for reelection
tion by the republicans. Ho has no opposi
tion and will , without doubt , secure the re
publican caucus nom'tntiun. '
There are a do/.en candidates who will go be
fore Hie populist caucus. The leaders among
them now seem to be Judge .Tohn Martin of
Topeka , who effected fusion on the clectoial
ticket between the populists and democrats ;
and Chairman Urcidonlhal of the populist
slate central committee. Mrs. Lease is not
seriously n candidate. She bus sigiii lied her
acceptance of H place on the state bounl of
charities , and that is regarded as disposing
of her senatorial ambition. She naively an
nounces , however , that she will rr-.sign from
the board if she is elected to represent her
state in the senate.
Measures of legislation have barely hron
thought of in the scr.npblo for scmtorinl
honors , only the most important measures
having attracted any attention. Among
these is the iloclaratkm of Governor-elect
l.owelling that he would advocate a state
oan commission.
Another measure which has been hinted
it Is ono to ( jlvo"lho railway commission
: iowcr to enforce Us orders pending appeals
l y the roads to the courts. This latter mat
ter , however , has not even found a sponsor
and has assumed no dellnito shape.
The situation as regards the senatorial
light will ha further complicated tomorrow ,
when It becomes known that a certain
coterie of republicans favor fusion with tin :
populists if such a step should become neces
sary to defeat any plan having for its object
llio election of n democrat. A dispatch from
Wichita states that such a proposition hat
been canvassed in the .soulhwotit and that U
has met with favor among tlio republlcni
members of the legislature from that see
tiun.

The Wichita Kaglo , the leading repnblt
can newspaper of the .southwest , favors UK
plan and endorses Governor-elect Lowcllim
as tlie fusion cainKdate. The fuel that Gov
ernor Loweliing is a Wichita man may hnvi

Ciir.vr.xxu , Wyo. . Jan 3. This morning tint
district court room was lllle.l with a curious
crowd of spectators in hear Ihe opening of
the cattlemen's case whlcli hud been set for
today. It had been siId the case would bo
dismissed , as Johnson county which was
prosecuting had been unable to meet llio ex
penses of the trl.il thus fin- and would refuse
lo Incur any additional obllgalions The as
sertion was also frequent that a contlnnanco
would be asked for and granted.
The latter theory proved correct In part.
When the Indicted cattlemen appeared lu
September for trial eight were absent ami
Ihelr lull bonds were forfeited. Today
twelve moro were delinquent and Ihelr
bonds were also forfeited. Of the.su , three
have met violent deaths and one , Teseho-
nmeher , Is in Switzerland , where ho was
called by the death of his brother. Another ,
DeHllllor , became insane during the Septem
ber trial and is now In the east.
The men on trial arc charged with murder
and arson. There are only twcntj-threoot
I he original forty-four present. This num
ber Included all the cattlemen. The Toxau
contingent is all absent. Their leader was
murdered soiim llmo ago by a negro on a. .
railroad train In Indian Territory.
Dclfoilants WITH Nut licinly.
The llrst move was made by the defenses
and was In the shape of two motions for a' '
continuance , each being supported by u' '
brace of allldavits. The ulUdavits in one. Instance - '
stance set forth that duo diligence had been
used In llio procurement of wltnesso.41
from Johnson county , but they could' '
not bo got before the n vet term I
of court. Anolher sot of nflUlavita' '
upon a now line of defense are to the effect' '
that certain men , residents of Westou
county , now temporarily absent from the
state on business , were near Nolan's ranch )
In Johnson county , where the killing of Nnto |
Champion and Nick Kav occurred on tlio
morring of April ! l , ISD-J. They will swear,1
continues the atlldavlt , that certain nienn
the defendants , were looking at some horses
in a pasture when allots were thvd at them '
from Champion and Uu.v's cabin.
The horses they v.viv looking at bad been '
stolen from them as appeared by their
brands. This evidence can only be had from ,
these two Wcslon county men , whoso teslt-
mony cannot be had before the next term of
court. A. H. Sloll made the argument for
Ihe continuance , while. Judge Hallard of
Denver opposed il. Judge Scott finally look
the matter under advisement and tlio court ,
was adjourned to tomorrow morning.
Meanwhile the stockmen , Ihough nomi
nally under the charge of Sheriff. Kelley , are
