ToitrK v Feb. IS. A riot I Imminent
between tbo republicans and populist.
In the hall of the' honse uf representa
tive. There seems no way to avoid a
dangerous clash. When the republican
went to the lull this morning they found
the doom barred by tha populist. AC
tr u i liort consultation, the republican
rrKolved to force an entrance, t-lt-dge-hammer
ere brought Into play againt-t
one of the i.iua entrances, with sin h
good street that tho dMre wi re toon de
molished and tho republicans quickly
tiled into the htid. Hud the populists
been iu session a couflict would surely
have rennlted, bnt fortunately the popu
lint house luljnurned yesterday till 1
o'clock thin afternoon. An rooti a the
populists lciirned w hat had Wn done,
Governor Lewolling was notified.
The Governor promptly culled out the
i militia and instructed them proceed
i to ll e hall to eject the republicans from
I the floor and the soldiers "started on
! their Inleslon.
The roptibl leans, learning of the gover
nor's action, held a htirried consnltation
to the course to pursue. . No definite
phin Was decided on, but individual re
publicans are trying to induce, the Santa
Fe ruilroail to cull ont fhelr shopmen to
oppose the militia. The other industries
known to lie in sympathy with tho re
publican were asked to furnish men fur
the same purine.
Mentime the populists were not Idle.
Company C. of the lo?al militia, res
ponded promptly to the call, having
been not i tied by adjutant-General- Arti
last fituttt to be in readiness. Tbey
marched to tho capital ground, and took
up their position awaiting
orders.
Orders were also telegraphed to
llolton aud Marlon for eompaiiies D and

preHJOtallon to Speaker lotKlas Of the j

waeellected Into the hall, and which
Doii'dars subsequently wed in place oil

There were "4 assistant sergeants-nt

The governor has ordered oat four
companies of Infantry aniLiwo batteries
of artillery, nud 73 men, chiefly farmers,
have been taken to the arsenal, uni
formed, armed and sent to the capitol
ground. Au Oakland company also ar
rived and took a portion on tho grounds.
The republicans then nailed, barred
and propped every door leading to the
ball.
The KipuiiHts decided to freeze the
republicans out. The janitor hut off
the steam from the hall. The populists
also have undertaken to starve out the
republicans. The men sent for lunch
for them cannot get, pant the militia
lines. The bouse! (berefore, is in a
state of siege. A militia company has
been stationed near the arsenal- with
guaxjds posted. Two cannon run out of
the arsenal were loaded with shot, and
everything Jooks decidedly warlike.
The militia lias full control of the situa
tion, and every move of the populist
house depends on' the governor. Col.

DOINGS OF THE COURJ.

Cldea l-attea.
At the circuit court this afternoon,
after exeni ing the wailing jurors until
nine o'clock tomorrow, the eourt pro
ceeded to the consideration of the suit of
Queen Patten for a divorce from ber
husband Eldon Patten. The reason al
leged was cruel and inhuman treatment.
The testimony reported by referee Wer
rick disclosed many cruel acts on the
part of the defendant, running over a
period of about two years. He had
threatened to cut his wife's throat and
to burn the house over her head when
she would be asleep, and had attempted
on one occasion to kill her, using the
usual weapon of the negroes, a razor.
Patten was also shown to be a drunken,
worthless sort of man who would not
work so long as he could force his wife
to provide food for him, and bad spent
a large portion of his time lu Portland,
sendiug his evenings with the dusky
demi-monde, who frequent the White
chapel district. After hearing the testi
mony, Judge Bradshaw made an order
granting a decree of absolute divorce,
and the care of her children. Patteu is
the same man who waa arrested a few
weeks since for assaulting his wile with
a rator and for which he spent a term In
the county jail. He disappeared when
released, and has not since lieen heard
from.

The ice commenced breaking below
the.dallcs of the river today and drifted
down, forming a veritable river glacier
in miniature. The main body of the
ice nt thiit point has drifted down about
one hundred yards and tho old trail
across the river looks funny in con se
quence, being disconnected from the one
oif terra firms.
Tho Inland Star, which was put on
the river last summer by Mr. Kennedy,
is damaged considerably. The accumu
lating Ice has torn oil' her rudder and
carried it down stream, and it is thought
it is cracked from stem to stern, but the
latter fact cannot be definitely ascer
tained until the ice, which has forced it
over en its side and blocked the space
up, has gone.
The damage sustained by the D. P &
A. Xav. Co. is not great, the only effect of
the mass of ice being to incline some yl
the springing piles, which can be remer,
died when the river is open. It bv uot
.thought the ice will interfere will tlie
Regulator, but if the danger arises, the
boat can tie pulled up further on the
bank out of danger. '
The river is also blocked below the
cascades. -

Ball.
Xewa waa received in this city. today
oi the sensational death by his own
hand of Hugh Southerland, Goldendale.
The fatality occurred about midnight of
Tuesday, during intermission of a ball
at the Goldendale hall. He had been
drinkingluring the evening, but it is
not supposed that the sole cause of his
action was due to inebriety. He seemed
to-be enjoying himself in the usual man
ner, but at 12 o'clock went home and
there, within earshot of his wife, fired
the shot that ended hi. life. The pistol
need waa a 32-caliber.
Southern lived in The Dalles about
six years ago, and was a blacksmith in
the company's shop. (

A squaw was observed this morning
trying to pack about 200 pounds on ber
back a sack of flour, one of sugar, and
a heavy sack of some other commodity,
to the onlookers unknown, t tie first
arranged them ' so that, by stooping,
they would recline on her back, then, to
adjust the pack more rirmly, she got
down on all fours. In attempting to
rise-the first time she toppled over side
wise, like a cart suddenly deprived of a
.wheel. The next time she vexercised
more care, and, succeeding in 'getting
an upright jiosition, 'walked bravely off.

Tba C'uaC of Italian Opera.
Talking of money reminds me that
Signor Vianesi say he left the Pari
opera, where he has been conductor for ,
the last four years, becawe the salary
was not laxir enough and the work too
exacting. ', lie received $2,400 a year for
ten months wotlc.'aqd very liard work
at that. He comes to America and geta '
$8,000 for qtven months. Mr. Abbey's
salary list is a formidable one. Miss -Van
Zandt gets $1,000 a performance,
M-iw Eames, $S0O; Lasolle, the French
baritone, $S00; Mme. Albaul, $600, and. -ifive
other singers from $100 to $500. ,
There is a chorus of eighty, averaging '
$20 a week, or $1,600, and an orchestra
costing $3,000 a week.
; The expenses of giving opera with
such a company cannot full below $5,000 -a
performance, so that even at five dollars
for a parquet sent, the price .for tho
coming season, Mr. Abbey may not
make a fortune. The average cost of
