Two Railroad Bills Killed.
The honne after spending nearly an
other half duv in consideration of rail-

nesday. One of these measures was
roorman's fellow-servant bill. It was ,
debated at length, and although even

its opponents admitted it bad good
points, it was defeated by a vote of 81
to 22. The other railroad bill which
was disposed of, and which met a sim
ilar fate, was the bill of Harris to fix
trie liability of railroad corporations
for injuries. But 19 votes were oast

No Holiday at Salem.
Washington's birthday, February 22,
, is a lettal bolblay. but it is not a legis
1 lative holiday unless the legislature by
specific act chooses to make it so.
i Inasmuch as Washington's birthday
happens tbia year to faU on the 40th
j day of the session (the nsual day of
sine die adjournment) It is probable
i that business will be proceeded with
' much ns nsual. The constitution of
the state does not limit the sessions to
I 40 davs, hot does limit the total com-
penaxtion of each menibsr to $120 at
per day; therefore, few legislators
can be expeotwt to he so eell-sacrifio-
ng as to work long for nothing.

the earlier periods of the American oc
cupation, turned ont to welcome the
United States Philippine commission
as it proceeded northward, on its first
trip to organise provincial govern
ments. At "every station, including
the hamlets where tbe train did not
stop, there were bunts of music from
the native bands and cheers for the
American commission and the partido
federate. The ciowd at Malolos, the
former seat of the insurgent govern
ment, was smaller, in proportion to
the population, than at the villages.
At all the stops addresses were deliv
ered by the natives, and responses
were made by Judge Taft, the presi
dent of the commission; Professor
Worcester, General Flores, Chief Jus
tice Arellno and Dr. Tavera, president
of the Federal party. Tbe natives re
peatedly declared the people were be
ginning to understand the purpose of
the Americans, adding that the com
mission's acts showed its promises
would be kept.
Jndge Taft told tbe people of the
towns in Bolucan province that a pro
vincial government will shortly be
established there. The American party
alighted at San Fernando, passed un
der an aroh of welcome and was
greeted by the military and hundreds
of children waving Amenoin flags snd
singing "Hail Columbia." Tbe entire
American party was then driven to Ba
color, capital of the province of Pirn
panga. where they will be cordially
entertained tomorrow, and nntil apply
ing tbe provincial government to Pam
panga, there will be a public discus
sion of the laws enacted.

that a band of Tarlao insurgents is ap
proaching for the purpose of harassing
the people of Bacolor. He has sent
scouts out after them.

BOILER-MAKER'S GOOD LUCK.
Bonds Mine
In North for Quarter of
Mil-
lion Dollars.
Port Townsend. Wash.. Feb. 14. A
mining deal was consummated here to
day of more than naual interest, owing
to the amount involve, and that it
transfers a man from the ranks of pov
erty to affluence. Erick Molander, a
boiler maker, of this city, who had in
vested bis earnings .in Mount Sicker,
B. C. mining property by hiiing
claims staked for him on extension of
Tyee and Lenora claims, has bonded
his holdings to London and Paris in
vestors for $250,000. The papers, were
made out and signed today. Molander
spent last season at Nome, but failed to
make his fortune. He returned on the
steamer Charles Lano, and when her
boilers gave out and the vessel was in
danger of swamping, he repaired the
boilers so that the steamer, with 300
passengers, reached port in safety, and
for which he was presented witn aoo.

RIOTING IN MADRID.
State of Siege Proclaimed in the Spanish Cap
ital Many Arrests Were Made. j
Madrid. Feb. 15. Musio on tbe
public squares and a general holiday
gramme of the Asturias-rJourbon mar- 1
riage festivities, but all this has been
abandoned cn account of the attitude !
of the populace.
With nightfall, every approach to
the Puerta del Sol was jammed with
the idle populace. Insulting remarks
were burled at the police and civil
guards. A trumpeter sounded a charge,
which was made with swords drawn.
Heads were not spared, many persona
were injured, and there were numerous
arrests. The scattering crowds sought
the shops and hotels. All the front
doors' of tbe Hotel de Paris were
smashed in, a great crowd assembling
there. The police and guards charged
into tbe streets, but the dispersed
throngs quickly reassembled.
As was anticipated, the funeral of
Don Ramon de Campoaraor, was at
tended with serious disturbances. Tho
weather was beautiful and enormons
crowds gathered along tbe route taken
by tbe funeral cortege. Considerable
disorder marked tbe passage of tbe
procession, but the troops stood at
strategic points and prevented any
very formidable outbreak until the end
of the city was reached. At that point
tbe demonstrators, who included many 1
students, raised the cry of "Long live i
liberty, and, having broken up into
small parties, proceeded to various
parts of Madrid to renew tbe demon
stration. One band of students stoned
a convent.
In the evening fresh riots took place
st several points. Gendarmes charged
with drawn swords, and a number
were bruised and wounded. Tbe
demonstrators replied to the chasges of
tbe gendarmes with a shower of stones.
Altogether some 30 arrests were
made during the day, including a mili
tary officer, whose arrest resulted in a
protest by bis brother officers, the mat
ter being referred to tbe captain-gen
eral.
The authorities have warned the
newspapers to abstain from the publi
cation ot news or comments calculated
to fan the present agitation.
MURDEROUS ASSAULT.
Razor in the Hand of a Man Crazed With Liquor
Nearly Causes Death.
Seattle. Feb. 15. Mad with tbe
effects of liquor and at tbe time infur
iated with tbe thought that his com
panion bad robbed him of a sum of
money, James Flood attacked James
Dorcey with a razor in a room in tbe
Globe hotel at 10 o'clock today, and
by the narrowest margin possible' a
murder was averted.
Both men had been out on a spree all
night and had jut entered their room,
when suwdenly Flood turned upon his
roommate and accused him of stealing
$50 of his money from a coat pocket.
Dnn-ey denied it. ' Flood whipped cut a
razor, and made a slash at the aston
ished Dorcey. A gash an inch deep
and trie full length of the fleshy part of
i he arm was cot. Terrified beyond
measure, Dorcey screamed frantically
for help. Proprietor Hewitt came in
and tried to make peace. In his mad
fury Flood turned upon him with
murder in his eyes, but did not suc
ceed in cutting him. Flood was over
powered. WILL BUILD LIGHTERS.
