The ad urena waa delivered In Senator Simon's nulet. unoatentlous way, and waa rt reived with cheers from both factions of the burly. L'pon the adjournment ot the assembly Senator Blmon waa surrounded by a host of friends, who kept him busy receiving congratulations, many Mitchell republl cans even extending the glad hnnd to him. mid expreiudug delight tlvut he had been agreed upon. It la the general opinion here that no better man couid have been chosen for the othYe, as Senator Simon la remark able particularly for his fairness of roan mr. Several Astorlans who have be n ut tha capital for the pa.it day or two ex- lreKHl the fear that Senator Stnv.n would not louk out for tho Interests of the Uiiteniiy City, but the Astorlnn cor- renpomlent received positive assurance to day that Astoria s lmer'its would not want of attention. H la given out by friends of the senator that, Instead of bvluK Astoria's enemy because of his real- denit In Tortland. Mr. Simon is broad enough to realUe the necessity of govern ment appropriations for tne Columbia's mouth, and will use every effort to secure the needed Improvements. The election of Sanator Slnton la unrraci- tlonably a rompleto and unqualified tr. umph over tho Mitchell following, and any talk of It having been brought about by a compromise with any members of that faction Is absolutely unfounded. The o'"- received by Simon were all from gnld-stundard men, every one of whom was unalterably opposed from the be ginning to any candidate having the slightest suspicion or taint of the Mitchell faction, although five of these votes could not bo obtained for Mr. Corbett. Had a second ballot been nectssury the six votes for George would undoubtedly have been cast for Simon, making 4i' votes out of the 83 in the caucus, which no Mitchell man could have got or 15 more than the caucus majority. Senator Simon had no conference with any of the opposition, all renorts to tho contrary notwithstanding, and he did not nil would not under any circumstances, his friends contend, have entered Into or nuulo any kind of bargain with them. As one of them significantly said tuiht, Senntor Simon did not have to go over to tho opposition In order to receive the cau cus nomination; ho already had votes enough In his own party to Insure his nomination and election In the joint as sembly, the moment he agreed to become a candidate." Governor Lord and State Treasurer Metschan occupied seats on the rostrum with the speaker of tho house and presi dent of the senate during the balloting. HOT TIME IN THE OLD TOWN. rOUTLAXD. Oct. 8. Senator-elect oseph Simon, who returned from Salem this afternoon, was serenaded tontgtit by a large number or his friends. Including several members of the kglslature. Head ed by a brass band, they mnrcnect irwi tho Portland hotel to Mr. Slnwm'a rei- ence. H. W. Corbett, who was ono of tho party, made a few remarks eulogistic of the senator-elect, and then Mr. Simon himself appeared and expressed his ap preciation of the honor his fellow mem bers had conferred upon him. The guests were Invited Into the house, where re freshments were served. VOW OK THE WEEK IS imiTAIN'g CAP1TAI Return of tha OrenadUire Guards From the Soudan Mode tht Occasion of Dltf Demonstration. (Copyrighted. m, by Associated Press.) LONDON, Oct. l.-The event of the week so far as London Is roncernd, waa the return of tha First battalion of the Qrenadler Guards from the Boudan, Im mense crowds lined the streets from Waf rloo station to Wellington barraka, and the enthusiasm displayed exceeded any previous demonstration ot a like na ture sine the return of the Hrltlsh troops from the Crimean war. There waa a bril liant gathering of military chiefs and rel atives of officers at the station. When the battalion marched from the police guarded station, the enthusiasm broke out from the dense masas of peo ple gathered to welcome the. soldiers home, and their march from the station to the barrack waa In the nature of a triumphal progreta. There were many pathetic scenes. The men looked gaunt and weary Instead of the strapping fel lows .who left London. Man of the re turning soldiers brought with them Inter eating relics of the campaign In the shape of Dervish, words, spears or shields. Much Interest has been evoked from the German military attaches report of tbe battle ot Omdurman. He saya he was particularly struck Vy all the -operations except the charge of the Landers, which he claims waa absurd. On the other hand the German officer says the handling of the artillery waa absolutely unequalled, and he aawrta that the endurance and spirit of the troops were beyond all praise. The death of the queen of Denmark and the bereavement of the Prlncesa of Wales who was one of her daughters, combined with the fact that there will be no au tumn seaidon of parliament, haa made tbe prospects of 4he winter seaaon very gloomy. Marlborough house, tho London resi dence of the Prince of Walea. will be closed to all fevtlvltb a until th end of next summer, and there are no members of the royal family In town. The two skating club, .the Prlncena and Niagara, which form such a part of the winter's gaiety will open next week. An attempt was made on Thursday to steal the body of William Penn, whoe remains are lying In the graveyard of tbe Quaker meeting house at Jordans, Buckinghamshire, it has been suspected for some time that a surreptitious at tempt to remove the remains would be made, and the burial ground was guarded, But the watch waa recently withdrawn, On Thursday the Inmates of a cottage near by were awakened by the twrkir.g of j Another aignifleant fact this week was a dog. and at daylight they found that : that the delegation representing German IVnn's grave had been partially opned. and German-Swiss firms In the Philip A couple of feet of the soil had been re- j Pin Islands called at the United Sonus moved, und a spade and some newspa- embassy to expreaa hopee that America pers were lying near, it waa evident would ot relinquish the Islands, and that the body snatchers had been dls-j would not return them to Spain, which turbed by the dog.
