Hume Per annul Mirtchfn of tli Sev eral Mi'ttilifm of the Com in Union. it In one of the mnjfiilul tiling of the ' NDMHion tlml Pri'Hiilunt Fulton, who start ed out In a notilu Hpirit of plucution, and reuotfitiKiMl nut only tim party rivala, but tho olliurtwo parties in such way as to ttiakt the seimto chamber a littlo lieavun on earth, Hhould, In the closing lioun. of the iwxHion, be made throuKh forte of circuriiHtunceit, the exponent of a toitct of parliamentary law proceedure j which cruaUid the hittcreHt of feeliiiK and had the unusual effuct to leave an aching void in the place usually oenpied by ri'Holuliuns, laudatory of the presiding ollicers of the minute. Much has been said and be said concerning this inemorahlu scene. It was about 0 o'clock when Durham's ballot ill came upon its third reading and final passage. The cleik hud barely commenced reading the bill than Weatherford raised the ques tion that it was taken up oi l of order; that there certainly must be other bills ahead of it. The president replied that the clerk bail charge of the bills. The cleik stated that all day long the sena tors had liceli calling bills up out of their regulur order, and that consequently, the bills had been handled so often, they were bunched toother without regard to the ordi-r in which they had been re ported back from the committee, and that the bill was taken by him in its or der as they ap!eared. Weatherford moved that the bill lie on the table. On this uention the ayes and noes were call ed and the motion was lost. Weather ford then moved that further considera tion of the hill be indefinitely postponed. The motion wasalsolost. Huston voted wiili the majority and then moved to re consider the voto. Willis moved that the motion to reconsider lie on the taple, and the motion prevailed; ayes 10, nays 14. WentherforJ then raised the point of order that the motion to reconsider having been tabled, it carried the bill with it. The president ruled the point of order not well taken. Weatherford then moved to refer the bill to the judici ary committee. The motion was put and lost, Willis then moved the previous queMion which motion prevailed 16 to 14. The question on the pasNige of the bill was then put and the democrats re fused to vote. Denny insisted that un der the rules all senators were required to vote. The president stated that biicIi was the rule of the Senate. Cogswell's name was called. lie was in his seat but refused to vote. The president stat ed that by the rule Ls was required to vote, put he still refused. President Fulton then staled that the fact should be entered in the journal, namely, that the senator was present in his Beat and refused to vote, not being excused there from, and that he should be considered as voting " No. " Sixteen voted aye and 16 refused to vote, although present. Just as Huston's name was called he jumiied over the railing, and as Myer's mime was called he was on a run for the cloitkrooin. When the vote was an nounced Huston stated that he was not within the tmr at tho time. The presi dent replied that he had not yet reached the top of the rail, i.uughter. Weath erford requested that a protest be enter ed ajaiiiHt their being present or voting, and the president replying, stated the farts should be entered in the journal. This was duly done, and this morning another protest was filed, signed by th democrats, Vandenburg, populist, and Woudard, citizen-democrat. Woodurd then came tothe reseneof the democracy at n t i mo when they needed it, otlset ting, to a slight degree, their constant wail during the session that he and Gill uniformly went with the republicans. PAYINU HY INSTALLMENT. Among the measures important in their ell'oct on Oregon City, which passed tho legislature, few are of more interest than Senator Bancroft's bill providing for the issunnee of bonds for the sewer and street improvement in incorporated cities, and for the payment of such in debtedness by installments. It is en acted that when the board of trustees or common council of an incorporated city has taken proceedings for sewer or Btreet improvement, any property-owner whose assessment for the work exceeds $l'o, may, within 10 days after notice of such assessment is first published, file with the proper oflicer an application to be allowed to pay his assessment in in stallments. This application must con tain a waiver of irregularities in the im provement preceedings and a full de scription of the property of the peti tioner which is affected. . The auditor or corresponding office is to keep alien docket of these assess ments, which are made lien against the property concrrned until they are paid. Then the city issues bonds for the sess inent so deferred. These bonds are to mature in 1ft years and are payable in 10, bear interest not to exceed 0 per cent and have interest coupons attached. They are to be duly signed and sealed by the city officers and entered in a bond register. An annual soecial tax equal to the percentage is borne by the bond. The owner may, however, pay the de'erred installments, including accrued interest, at any time, the regular pay ments being divided into 10 install ments, payable annually. IWl'LIST WUCTICK VS THKOKV. Upton, the ealatnityite, was per mitted to surge about the floor of the house until the clone of the session when his oft repeated fealty to the overbur dened taxpayer was shown to be a the ory only and not a practical virtue to be applied to his personal affairs, It had became generally known that McEwan and Upton had ten allowed uiilesge home by way of San Francisco, a favor secured by Ueer of Marion, who received a token of Hon Quixote's ap preciation by an objection from that knight errant to a pro forma resoluliun about the assessment law. Upton was absorbed Friday evening in one of his longest and most penetrating calamity howls, when Manley arose and ob tained permission of Upton to ask him a question. "I wish to inquire," said Manley, "whether you are going to take a pleasure trip to San Francisco on your mileage after the session." 'What do you mean?" asked Upton, and Manley coolly related his question. The old fellow was all broke up. Speech failed him, and he sat van quished into his seat. Ot BKKNATOKIAL APPOINTMENTS.

The followingare personal sketch es of some of the new men : THE RAILROAD COMMISSION. I. A. Mucrum is a native of Pennsyl vania, and came to Oregon about 22 years ago, settling at Oregon City. He taught school at first and then studied law. He was admitted to the bar and opened an office in Portland, being a branch of the law firm of Johnson, McCown A Macrum. After having been engaged in the successful practice of law fur a number of years, he became cashier in the Merchant's National bank, which position he held to the satisfaction of all concerned. He has been a resident of Forest Grove, Washington county, for about 10 years, coming to the city every morning and returning at night. Mr. Macrum is about 50 years of age and has a family of several children, among whom is Dr. Macrum, of Portland. General II, B. Compson, the democratic member of the commission, is a resident of Klamntb Falls, Klamath county, where he is engaged in farming and stock-raising. He has a war record un surpassed. Entering the service as a private, he rose to the command of the Eighth New York cavalry. He partici pated in 05 battles with the army of the Potomac and in the Shenandoah valley, was twice wounded and twice had his horse shot from under him. He was voted a special medal by congress for distinguished and meritorious conduct. A year ago Governor Pennoyer appoint ed General Compson to the position of Brigadier-general of the Oregon National Tilt Hawaiian Traaty. The following treaty is substantially that sent to the senate by the president ; In article 1 the government of llawa i cedes from the date of the exchange of ratifications to the United States abso lutely all rightsjof sovereignty of whatso ever kind in and over the Hawaiian islands and their dependencies, such islands henceforth to be an integral part of the territory of the United States, In article 2 the Hawaiian government also transfers to the United States abso lute fee and ownership of public, govern ment or crown lands, public buildings, port harbors, fortifications, military or naval equipments and all other public property of every description. The ex isting laws of the United States relative to public lands shall not apply to such lands in the Hawaiian inlands; bnt con gress shall enact special laws for their management and disposition, proviih-4 that all revenue from the same, except such part as may be used or occapii 1 for the civil, military or naval purnose of the United States, or may be assicni .1 to the use of the local government, shall be used solely for the benefit of the in habitants of the Hawaiian islands for educational and other public purposes. Article 3 continues until congress shail otherwise provide, the existing govern ment. The Hawaiian laws are con tinued, subject to the paramount au thority of the United States. The presi dent shall appoint a commissioner to reside in the islands, who shall have power to yeti) any act of said govern ment, and 6 i h act shall be void nnlei-s approved J ihe president. Congress shall, wittiiu one year from the ratifica tion of the treaty, enact the necessary legislation to extend to tiie Hawaiian islands the laws of the United States. Peace Eeigua in lamsn. Topeka, Kan., Feb. 17. The state ; troops have been sent home, the arme l posse of deputy sheriffs has been dis banded, republicans ard populists have laid down their arms, and the war is over. The devolpinents of the day are regarded on all sides as a decisive vic- j tory for the republicans. They secure, by the terms of the compromise, undis puted possession of the representative hall in the capltol, the main point for which they have been struggling. Tho I populists secure the hollow privilege of Dieeting nndisturbed in some other place. The final result of the struggle, however, will have no effect ou the unfortunate legislative muddle. The populists say their house will go right ahead making laws, no matter what the courts may do; that the senate will continue to recognize th house, ai;J the governor will sign the bills pasp. il by t. Should they he declared invali I by reason of having been passed by an illegal house, then the populists say the blame will rest upon the courts. In case such a thing cornea to pass, tfia state institutions, college, asylamv schools, etc. will doubtless have to close. Wasted To Trade Witk U. Ottawa, Feb. 17. The decision of the governor to postpone tariff reform unt I next year, as announced in Tuesday's budgett speech by the finance minister, created much feeling among the farmers,, who want access to the American mar kets. A deputation from the various provinces representing the Patrons ol Industry, organizations similar to the farmers' alliance in the United State,, waited upon the Premier, Sir Johiv Thompson, and demanded that relief he given to the farming population. They asked that coal oil, binder twine, Amer ican corn aud w ire fencing be placed on the free list, Sir John, despite the fact that the government has already an nounced its fiscal policy, agreed to give the matter consideration. The Patrons of Husbandry possess a membership el 150,000. Thy desire free trade with ihe United States. (Continued on third page.) A Friend1! Failnre Bra&ka McEinlry. Yoi'Nc.srowN, Ohio., Feb. 17 A sen sation was caused in business, financial and manufacturing circles today by the failure of Robert J. Walker, a prominent banker and capitalist, who made an as signment for the benefit of his creditors. The failure will be widespread in its ef fects involving Governor McKinley, ami the indications are now that every dollar of property owned by Governor Mc Kinley will be swept away. Portland OeU a Slice. Washington, Feb. 20. Senator Mitchell was fortunate today in getting through an amendment to the sundry civil till, increasing the limit of the cost of the Port of Portland buplic buiMii g- from $500,000, as it first stood, to I.OliO, 000. A Big Bnow Storm, Chicago, Feb. 17. The heaviest snow storm of the season prevailed here a!), day, fully eight inches having fallen.
