Balloting for Tnited States senators begun in each house of the legislature this morning. The indi-cations are that there will be a bitter contest between the three candidates from northern Idaho and the two from the south. Long bef the time for the houses to assemble this morniug, tho lobbies and galleries were tilled with specta-tors. Both houses vote separately on the first day and if no choice made will meet tomorrow in joint session to ballot. In tho house tho concurring resolu-tion regarding the ballotting had not been acted upon until after VI. At 2:30 o'clock Tha Hiillottlug Commanrad the first vote standing Dubois, 13; Clag-gct- , ; McDonnell, 'fl; Shoup, 5. The democrats Toted solid for ex Governor Stevenson, 5. In the senate it stood: Dubois, 4; Clapgett, 2; McConnell, 4; Shoup, 8; Stevenson. 4. In tho house, Armstrong, Cameron, Haiiey, Parker, Scolield and Sporry voted for' Claggett. Casey, Gruen, Hawkins, Martin, Skatteboe for McConnell. Mills is absent on account of the sickness of his father. Ho is a strong Dubois man. Delamsr is absent from the senate, he claims on account of sickness, but it is said he llaa Turnad Traitor nda would not attend. He is for McConnell and has beenused as a catspaw to work votes from the south. An immediate adjournment was taken until this afternoon after the first ballot. This morning's local papers contain a correspondence between tho leaders of the McConnell, Claggett and De Lamar factious and the Shoup and Dubois people. The former three, make the following proposition "That when the joint committee meets. Wednesday, the 17th, the voting for senators shall proceed without un-necessary interruption or delay until from among the various candidates Shonp, Dubois, D Laranr, McOonnoU and Claggett two senators shall be elected, one from the north and one from the south, to fill The Two Varaariea now existing; and that the election of the third senator for the full term, com- - mencing March 1, 1801, shall be post-poned until after those elected to fill tho existing vacancies shall have reached Washington and drawn for the long and short term. Shoup and Dubois make reply as "While your proposition plainly contemplates the detent of Dubois or Shoup, or both of them, or the se-lection of both to tbe absolute exclusion of North Idaho, neither of these gentle-men have the power or authority to to speak for the republican members of the legislature in this or any other trado or combination, so far as Shoup and Dubois are concerned." They propose as a counter proposi-tion that all republican members of the irisia.uiu mem in caucus iuesuay, at 9 o'clock p.m., and determine What is Fair and .lust and for the best interests of the party; Dubois and Shoup pledging themselves to accept tho verdict rendered ly the party as thus nssembled, stipulating only that whatever the majority of the republican members of the legislature decide on as being best, shall be en-dorsed by the minority, and the party as represented in tho legislature by the republican members elect, shall vote solidly .and unitedly and harmoniously to carry out the judgment of the party as expressed in caucus. Dubois and Slump desire to add that they are in favor of the election of Three Senators, one of whom shall be from one of the live northern counties and if thero should be any conflict at Washington over the question of tho right of the legislature to elect three senators now, the gentleman now elected for the term commencing March 4th next, shall be subsequently elected by this legislature, after the drawing take's place at Wash-ington for terms.

But Thinks tho Periods of Purchase of Silver Should be Discretionary With the Secretary. NnvYoRK, Doc. Hi. llonry Clews has addressed an open letter to the secretary of the treasury, in which lie makes one or two novel suggestions about silver legislation. I 'lews gays congiess should amend tho present law by inserting a clause giving the secretary of the treasury au-thority to chango at his discretion the pernios 01 uin purcliaso or silver. At present the law provides for 4. .100.000 ounces each month, which is absolute. In place of this, to provide for Tha I'rriant Moncjr t'rlalt, substitute "at the secretary's discretion the authority to purchase double tho amount in December, oiUHl to nine million ounces, and the same for Jan-uary, February and March and suspend purchases entirely to provide for same in the months of April, May, Jnne and July next." What is important for people of tb country to know for a certainty is that they Can Kalf I poo tha I'rratut Law being permanent and not subjert to changes at every congress. When the present law has been in existence a year, it will bring out new silver money aggregating in amount about JtiO.OOO,- - 000 and each year thereafter an equal sum. In ten years from tho date of the passage of thn act, tho amount of this money will be about $000,01)0,000. Thte Annual Inrreaie. 1 am of the opinion, will be ample for that class of money, and it would be unwise to increase it. It certaiuly will be sufficient if congress will pass, at an early date, Sherman's bill, which pro-vide s for national bank bills to be is-sued up to the par value of United States bonds. This will increase that class of money by $15,000,000. T1IET)AVNC0NGRESS." " Morgan Bays the Country Would Hays , ' cea Better Off Without the Fifteenth w Amendment- - , A LETTER FROM J. I.

Sitting Hull, however, would not fully promise to come into the agency to discuss the matter, but said he would consider the talk just had and decide after deliberation. Went! Milting null a Head. Minneapolis, Dec. Hi. A Hisruarck, X.D., special savs: The country lound about is terribly wrought up over the killing of Sitting Hull. Instead of ere-- ! aling un easy feeling- it has aroused much apprehension. It is feared many families of settlors will fall in the ven-geance of Sitting Hull's followers. Sit-ting Hull's sun who was killed, was only 12 years old. An enterprising Hismarck merchant this morning of-fered $1000 for Sitting Hull's hide. A Word I!lcKrilili'lly. Silting Hull was born In 1N17, near old Fort (ieoige, below the mouth of tho Cheyenne river. His father was the famous chief Jumping Hull. He was undoubtedly the greatest of the Sioux.

They were 011 'heir way back to Standing Bock, when sn of the famous chief urged his comrades to recapture the old man. The women and children were left iu r the hushes, and then, with yells, the liosttles charged upon tho police, liring as they came. A hand-to-han- strug-- ; gle ensued during which Sitting Bull. !: who was not shackled, gave his orders in a loud voice. , For several minutes the liring was 1 heavy and deadly. Iu the furious fu.si- - lade Sitting Bull fell out of his saddle, 1 rierced by a bullet, but it is not known whether it was fired by the charging t party or by one of the police. The son of Sitting Bull was slain al- - most at the first volley of tho i police. The hostiles fired with great . accuracy, and slowly drove the police ' ' from tho lieid. If the cavalry had not I ' como at this time it is probable thnt the force would have been annihilated. The soldiers were quick to enter into attion.

The story of the last visit paid by a white man to Sitting .Bull's camp prior to the tragic event of yesterday is told in a report received by Assistant - Adjutant General Corbin. The narrative throws a Hood of light on the old chief's wily character, and Strongly depicts the circumstances ex-isting in the isolated camp. "Learning that the ghost dance was in progress in Silting Bull's camp, and that a large number of Indians of the Grand river settlements were partici-pating, McLaughlin concluded to take them by surprise. Sunday morning he left for that settlement, accompanied by Louis Prineau, and got there unex-pectedly and found the ghost dance at its height. A majority of tha boys and girls participating were, until "a few weeks ago, pupils at the dancing schools at the Grand river settlements. McLaughlin did not attempt to stop the dance, but remained overnight and had a long talk with Sitting Bull and a number of his followers. Ho spoke every plainly to them, pointing out what had been done by the govern-ment lor the Sioux people, and how this faction by their present conduct were abusing the confidence that had been reposed in them by the government in its magnainity in granting them full amnesty for all past 'offenses when from destitution nnd imminent starvation they were compelled to surrender as prisoners of war, and dwelt at length upon w hat had been done by the gov-ernment for their own industrial ad-vancement, and assured them of what this absurd craze would lead to if these , demoralizing dances and disregard of the department orders were not soon discontinued. Sitting Bull, while very obstinate and first inclined to assume the role of "Big Chief," finally admitted the truths of McLaughlin's reasoning. lie had a proposition to make which, if the In-dian agent would agree to and would carry out, it would allay all further ex-citement among the Sioux over this ghost dance. Sitting Bull then stated his proposition which was that should accompany him on a journey t: trace from this agency to that ol other tribes of Indians through which the story of the Indian Messiah had been brought, and when he reached the last tribe, or where it originated, if they could not produce the mau who started the story and did not tiud the new Messiah as described upon earth, together with the dead Indians re-turning to reinhabit this country, he would return convinced they (the In-dians) had been imposed upon, which report from him would satisfy the Sioux, and all practicers of tho ghost soev'lcs would cease.
