The senate, after a 10-minute session , adjonrued till Monday. From the action today, it is evident the senate intend taking it time in the matter of confirming appointments. It wa supposed aa toon a the committee were reorganized the nominations so far would receive prompt action, and that an executive tession would be had today. At the previoua session it wa ordered that roon aa the committee were ap pointed nominations would be referred. These might have been considered this morning In committee and confirmed today, but the adjournment of the sen ate until Monday make it impossible for any of the officials named by the president to assume their duties until the middle of next week. A prominent senator on the democratic side laid this morning the senate waa not in any great hurry to go into the business of con firming nomination, and intimated that possibly it would wait until the elective officer w ere selected. The senate would be reorganized if it waadetermined to do this at once. A soon aa this wa done, he tald, the senate would confirm every nomination aent In up to that time. Immediately after the senate adjourned today the democratic caucus committee resumed its sitting, and took up the matter of the reorganization of the elec- tive officer of the senate. The commit tee will be ready to report to the full caucus early next week, possibly Tues- dav morning. Whether the democrat intend to reorganize or not is an inter esting question. If the democrats at tempt to reorganize at this session, it is almost certain the republicans will show fight to prevent the consummation of the plan if within their power. tloaat Ma I'M the Both.

THE SILVERJUESTION Huston Says Clcycland Will Ha?e a Picnic with It. HARRISON THE MAN FOR 1896 The Great Northern Railway Trying to Get a Steamship Rate Into San Francisco. New York, March 17. Ex-United State Treasurer Huston, speaking of the currency question, said he thought Cleveland was going to have a hot time trying to get congress to legislate to suit him in an endeavor to have the Sher man silver purchase act repealed. He said : "I believe the majority in congress is for free silver, and H the president does not give the member what they desire in the way of patronage I predict a reg ular war on him. It rather looks like war now, and when the fur begins to fly the country will have infinite amuse ment. I do not think a single gold bond should be issued. We should stop the coinage of silver, for that is the only way to solve the financial problem." "It is said you advocate ex-President Harrison for the presidency in 1896?" "I think he would be a logical candi date. When the people have had time to consider his administration he will be a more popular man than now. The result may be his nomination again in 1S96." Italian AnarchUU. Rome, March 17. A bomb was ex ploded in the Ancini Mattel palace, the official residence of United States Min ister Porter early this morning. Fortu nately nobody was hurt and but little damage was done to the building. No cause is known for the deed. The building was occupied by two other families besides that of United States Minister Potter. As a similar outrage was perpetrated in the same building in 1892, and as Potter had only engaged the building for occupation in the closing day of that year, it is be lieved the fact of the place being inhab ited by an American minister had noth ing to do with the outrage, but that the motive for causing the explosion was to gratify a desire for vengeance upon the proprietor of the place, irrespective of whether the residents were injured or not. This was the motive suspected at the time of the first explosion, and there is no reason to take a different view. Dare HlU'e Boom. Tacoma. Wash., March 17.

With a view to ascertaining the prob- ablo course of tho assessors throughout the state, now that the new mortgage tax law has gone into effect, the Orego nian addressed to each of them the fol lowing letter: "Dkak Sib: In view of the wide spread discussion upon the subject of listing mortgage- notes for taxation, will you stale very briefly, whether in your opinion any considerable portion of such notes can or will be assessed in your county, and oblige." Of many replies we append that of the assessor of Wasco county : "The Dali.es, Or., March 19. In reply to your favor of recent date asking me to briefly state my opinion in regard to the mortgage tax law, I would say: Being satisfied that the larger part of the taxpayers are well pleased with the repeal of the mortgage tax law and de duction clause, I would like to follow the intent of the new law, and not the letter of the old. I believe that all notes secured by mortgage on real estate should bo exempt from taxation, with no deduction for indebtedness. All per sonal notes, moneys and accounts held on the 1st day of March should be as sessed to the holder, thereof,' listing nothing that would tend to throw a double tax on any property. I believe if all the asscsors in the state would pursue this mode of assessment, and bo sustained by the county courts, there need be no trouble in getting out of tho dilemma that we are unfortunately placed in.
