The Oregon Legislature Adjourns Saturday at flidnight. Geo. W. McBride Elected States Senator. United The last few days of the Oregon legislature were busy ones, and both bouses turned out new laws by the dozen. Committee reports Hooded the clerks' desks and long winded speeches were cut short in order to close up the numerous amount of work already begun be fore the time for final adjournment arrived. Speeches on bills other than the general appropriation bill were limited to one minute in the house and all worked with a will both early and late. The greatest one day's work this session was disposed of on Wednesday. Among the reports handed in on that day was one from the committee ap pointed to investigate the Soldiers' Home at Roseburg. It was very complete and was anything but complimentary to the board of managers. It chows bad business management, extravagance and dis honesty on the part of the board. The report was adopted and ordered printed. At the evening session of the senate a number of bills were acted upon. Among them we note the following: Woodard Relative to time of holding elections, passed. Woodard Amending the Aus tralian ballot law, passed.

SATURDAY, The last day of the Oregon legis latures was a tiresome one for those who composed it, and much work was disposed of. Speaker Moores called the house to order at 9, but there being no quorum, a recess was taken until 10. A large number of bills were passed, resolutions adopted, and other business transacted. The closing hours of the session were busy ones and all work had to be pushed through in a rush. Speaker Moores was presented with a richly framed picture of the members of the house, with his own in the center. A resolution was also introduced by Gates ex pressing appreciation of the labors of speaker Moors, which was unani mously adopted. Saturday evening a joint conven tion was held for the purpose of electing a senator, if possible and resulted in a victory for the anti- Dolph men at a late hour, and the 60th ballot of the session. The session was to be called at 7 :30, and by 6 o'clock the capitol was crowed with people: men of opposite factions mingled together as one, and speculation was rue as to the final result The hour of opening soon arrived and the sena tors, as a body, where brought into representative hall and given seats. The corridors and galleries were crowded to suffication. Balloting soon began, and was continued until 28 ballots had been taken. The Dolph men had signi fied a willingness to give in if some one was selected whose name had not been presented before, and who was known to be a true republican. A number of names were presented and many speeches made, but none seemed to effect the Dolph men, and afther the 59th ballot had been taken a couple of boxes of oranges which had been bought, and sent up by Dolph were brought in and a five-minute recess was declared. When again called to order, rep resentative Cleeton secured the floor and nominated Geo. W. Mc Bride, saying that his name was presented to test the sincerity of the opposition members and stated that if they did not vote for hiai he would favor retnuring to the cau cus nominee and remaining there until the hour of 12. The roll call soon began and met witn cneers o: dehght as one Dolph man after another left the ranks and voted for McBride. Only ten remained with Dolph on the "last ballot. Representative Paxton moved to make the vote of republicans unan imous for McBride, and upon the motion being carried President Simon declared him elected, and appointed Alley, Bancroft, and Paxton a committee to escort Mc Bride to the platform. Conn, John son and Smith, of Josephine, to bring Dolph. Dolph, however could not be found. McBride was brought in and in troduced as United States Senator elect, and made a short address. Fulton and others made short speeches which were greeted with, cheers.
