THE MORNING OREGONIANi TUESDAY, JANUARY 30, 1900., TO ELECTA SENATOR Extraordinary Session of the California Legislature. BOTH HOUSES READY FOR BUSINESS Governor's Message Denounced Those Responsible at Regular Session for Failure to Elect. SACRAMENTO, Cal., Jan. 29. The sen ate and assembly of California today per fected lis organization to meet in extra ordinary session Much difference of opin ion prevailed among the members as to the necessity of reorganizing. The repub lican majority of the senate caucused on the subject, and It was conceded that it was necessary to reorganize. This was done by the re-election of the officers and many of the attaches of the regular ses sion. The assemblymen did not caucus. Two resolutions were Introduced In this body, one of which declared the house to be or ganized and ready for business. The other, a substitute, declaring the ottt cers of the regular session to be under its provisions elected. The word "elected" led to an extended debate, which resulted in the substitute being withdrawn and the original resolution adopted. The body thus proceeded immediately to business -without reorganization. It was conceded, however, that the vote for United States senator should not be taken until the sec ond Tuesday after reorganization, a week from tomorrow. By 5 o'clock the two houses were ready to receive the governor's message. The governor, as a special privilege, asked to be permitted to read it to the houses sit ting jointly, a thing unprecedented In the history of California legislatures. The re quest was granted. The message con tained some 7000 words, treating the sev eral purposes for which the legislature had been called together. The most im portant of these was the matter of elect ing a United States senator to succeed the Hon. Stephen M. "White. Those who were responsible for the failure to elect at the regular session -were severely de nounced, and the republican papers, which, according to the governor, were in a measure responsible for It, were se verely condemned. The Importance of the state's having a full representation In congress at this particular time, when the nation is expanding westward, was treat ed at length. The whole proceeding was of so unusual a nature that it created an interest bordering on the sensational. SENATOR BLACKBURN'S COMMISSION Taylor Will Not Issue It Before the Contest Is Settled. FRANKFORT. Ky.. Jan. 29. It is not likely that United States Senator-elect Blackburn will receive any commission from Governor Taylor until the present gubernatorial contest has been finally set tled. Governor Taylor. It is said on excel lent authority, will assume the position that If it is decided he is illegally the gov ernor of Kentucky, the legislators who elected Blackburn, and who were declared elected at the same election at which he was a candidate for governor, were also Illegally elected, and have not, therefore, the power to choose a senator. The beginning of the end of the contest -was at hand today, this being the last day for the taking of evidence. Tomor row arguments will commence. The de cision of the contest board is looked for in about one week after the conclusion of the arguments. The evidence today relat ed chiefly to tissue ballots and the use of the militia. Ex-Governor Bradley was called as a -witness. He was followed by G. W. Gist, of Henry county, who was asked whether he was in the republican headquarters in XfOu.svllle election night, and heard Gov ernor Bradley say that had he heard of Judge Toney's injunction an hour and a half sooner he -would have had the troops out and changed the returns. Witness Gist said he heard Governor Bradley make the statement Indicated. Representative Kalday, of Louisville, In rebuttal of the statement, testified he was present at the time the remark was al leged to have been made, and he denied that Governor Bradley made such a state ment. At the close of the session. Gover nor Bradley denied that he ever made the statement testified to by Gist. The house did not meet until 11:30 today. So many members were absent and so many paired that no attempt was made to transact business, and the house ad journed. BRYAN IX NEW ENGLAND. Pleaded "With His Reception by Democrats in the East. NEW YORK, Jan. 29. A special to the Herald from Washington says: William J. Bryan spent a quiet Sunday in this city, and left in the evening- for Providence, via New York. Mr. Bryan's visit to Providence will be his second entry Into New England, and while he does not, of course, look for substantial results from that section, he believes the indications from his Eastern reception will be of value to the party throughout the country. "I have been greatly pleased," he said, "at the Interest manifested by democrats of the East in what I have had ti say upon the great issues before the people.' There Is every indication of the return of every man, who, misunderstanding the Issues of the last campaign, went off to the enemy, and I believe that as the real meaning of the principles of the Chicago platform are better understood by the people of the East, not only will we regain the democrats, but we will also make seri ous inroads in the ranks of our oppo nents." Mr. Bryan does not believe that the re publicans will hold out the hope of inter national bimetalisrn in their platform of 1900. He expects to see their platform de clare unequivocally for the gold stand ard. FIGHT WITH BANDITS. Attempt to Rob an Express Train Was Frustrated. HOLDEN. Mo., Dec. 29. John Jackson, a detective for the Missouri, Kansas & Texas railway, from Sedalia. was shot tnrough the head by an unknown man here early this morning. Yesterday Su perintendent Hardy, of the Missouri' Pa cific railroad, learned that an attempt would be made to rob the express car on the east-hound Missouri Pacific train, No. 8, due here at 3:0S A. M.. for St. Louis. A posse was organized in Sedalia under command of W. A. Cunningham, a secret bci vitc omcer oi me Missouri Pacific and left here on a special train at 8:30 o'clock last night for Warrensburg, where the sheriff and special officers were taken aboard. When the train reached Holden the officers were informed that the sus pected men were at a resort, and It was decided to arrest them then, as It was believed enough evidence had been se cured to bring about their conviction The marshal of the town, another officer and Jackson, started to make the arrest saying they did not need assistance. Jack son entered the house. One of the men fiwd, and a ball passed through Jackson's Head just over the right eye. The officers returned the bandit's shot, but he and his companions, of whom there were about six, escaped. Later one of them, badly wounded, was captured. Jackson, who was taken to the hospital at Sedalia', can not recover. The arrested robber said his name was Shores, and confessed numer ous robberies. He admitted having held tip the Missouri Pacific agent at Ipde- pendence a few nights ago, and of having robbed the Plttsfield postofiice last Fri day night It is believed Shores and the man who shot Jackson and escaped held up a Mis souri paasenger train west of Kansas City, January 9. robbing the sleeping-car passengers.

Plenty of Money In Circulation in Montunn After the Election Bank Accounts of Legislators. WASHINGTON, Jan. 29. The senate committee on privileges and elections to day heard a number of witnesses on minor points Involved in the charges against Sen ator Clark, of Montana. The protestants took occasion, during the day, to withdraw all intimations against Hon. J. K. Toole, who withdrew from the Montana contest for United States senator under circum stances which the protestants were at first Inclined to consider suspiciously fa vorable to Mr. Clark. The prosecution al3o declined, during the day, to put two wit- CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATES, FIRST DISTRICT i t " ' : CLAUD GATCH, OF SALEM. Claud Gatch, Marlon county's choice for the republican congressional nomination In the ' first district, is a native of Oregon's sister state, Washington. He was born June 29, 1850, and arrived at Salem with his parent?, Mr. and Mrs. T. M. Gatch, when he was 0 weeks old. The story of the drive of the Gatch family to the Cowlitz river and the trip in canoes with the In dians is one of a thousand of like character told at Oregon firesides. Except a few years in California and in Portland, where his father was principal of the old Portland academy, Mr. Gatch has spent his life in Salem. In the early '70s he carried The Oreconlan; was elected page in the legislature of 1874; attended Willamette university, and cast his first vote for Gai field and. Arthur, In 18S0. In 18S0 he obtained employment in the banking house of Ladd & Bush, of w"hlch firm he Is now cashier. In 1S92 he was elected mayor of Salem by a major ity of over two to one over nls democratic opponent. He strove for economy in the city ex penditures, and resisted the Issuance of bonds by the city council. In 1804 he was re-elected without opposition. In 1806 he was elected vice-president of the republican league of Oregon, and In 1S08 he was elected president of the league. Mr. Gatch was one of the early advo cates of the gold standard In the party in Oregon. As a member of the state convention of 1893, he Introduced the minority rt'port from the committee upon platform, opposing the free and unlimited coinage of ullver. This report was defeated by a small majority. Mr. Gatch believes in expansion, or, aa he terms it, the "American policy." He says the, flag, once up, should never be pulled down. Mr. Gatch Is a prominent Odd Fellow, having been grand mas ter of the Jurisdiction of Oregon and its grand representative to the sovereign grand lodge, Boston, 1898, and Detroit, 1899. He was married in 1885 to Helen M. Plunimer, daughter of Dr. O. P. S. Plummer, of Portland. nesses on the stand who had been sum moned at their instance, because the men had talked unsatisfactorily since their ar rival In Washington. Both ex-Senator Ed. munds and Mr. Campbell said it would be unfair to both sides to call the witnesses to testify. At the beginning of today's session, Campbell, counsel for the protestants, made a brief statement exonerating Hon. J. K. Toole from any unfair participation in the election of Clark. Campbell said the prosecution Tiad been informed be fore witnesses were called that Too.e had secured money as a consideration for his withdrawing from the senatorial race in Clark's Interest, and on this account the Toole bank account had been gone Into in making the investigation. Since the be ginning of this proceeding, the prose cution had been convinced that this accu sation was without foundation and was satisfied Toole had not been In any way dishonoiably connected with Clark in the election. Hence Campbell expressed a de sire tfiat any reference to Toole should be expunged from the record of the commit tee's proceedings. Faulkner, for the defense, concurred in this wish. The first witness of the day was E. D. "V. More, fusion representative in the Montana legislature from Meagher coun ty, and at present engaged as dairyman and owner of a cold-storage plant at Bozeman. Campbell, in his questions, sought to bring out the fact that More had suddenly come Into possession of con siderable money about the time of the adjournment of the legislature. More ad mitted he had deposited considerable money at the bank since the adjourn ment, but said he had received ?250J lrom his partner, Rhoades, and over $3000 from his brother. He had sold the latter a half Interest in a ranch for $7000, and this money had been in part payment of the obliga tion. He also borrowed money at the First National bank, of Bozeman. More stated he had not voted for Clark until the 11th or 12th ballot, having pre viously voted for Hartman for senator. He said In reply to Faulkner he had received no offer of pay- for his vote from Clark, and no consideration was given him for that vote. As between Clark and Daly, the people of Meagher county were friend ly to Clark. George L. Ramsey, cashier of the Union Bank & Trust Company, of Helena, the next witness, produced a memorandum of $1000 bills paid out by the bank, beginning with January 10, 1S99. The record showed that the bank had had demands for large bills from the State Savings bank, of Butte, sending the Institution $30,000 the 7th and another $30,000 the 13th of that month in these bills. Most of the large bills were received from other banks, but occasionally one or two were deposited at a time by individuals. For the month of March, 67 $1000 bills passed through the bank; for the month of February, seven, and for January, 12. For other months the average was about the same as for January and February, but not so large as for March, when the demands from the Butte banks for the large bills was met. Among the Individual depositors of largo bills were Massina Bullard, a Helena law yer, Deputy County Clrk Bery, J. E: Cul len and J. H. Geiger. who successfully contested the seat of Whiteside as state senator. In the latter case the bill was of the denomination of $500. Mr. Bullaid had not only deposited a $1000 bill Febru ary 7, but had received $3000 in $1000 bills the 2d of that month. In response to questions, Mr. Ramsey stated that In May last Mr. Geiger had deposited a certificate of deposit from the bank for $2500 in exchange for which he had given Geiger a certificate for $1500 and a draft for $1500. It was at the same time that Geiger had brought a $500 bill into the bank which he had changed. One of the parties to whom the bank had paid out large bills was a Mr. Wellcome, who, Mr. Ramsey explained, was not the J. B. Wellcome prominent in this case. D. O. Becker, clerk of the Helena hotel. was interrogated by Senator Chandler as to a ?500 bill In the possession of the com mittee. . This bore certain identification marks, including, "D. O. B.," the initial of the witness. He was asked if he had written these marks, and said he had not and knew nothing about the bill. He sug gested that he might have deposited it, and the bank added the mark as a. means of telling from whom it was received. At the afternoon session, W. B. Dolenty. a banker of Townsend, testified concerning the banking and financial transactions of State Senator W. E. Tlerney. The latter, the witness said, owed the bank $10,000 prior to the meeting of the legislature. This had been paid off since then. The witness also said Tierney had, in late months, Invested in bank shocks. He con sidered Mr. Tierney worth about $15,003, or $10,000 more than he was prior to his election. Replying to a question he said he had "an idea" where the money came from with which the indebtedness to his bank was paid, but he did not state ills suspicions. The $10,000 was paid at differ ent times, and a large part of it was paid in currency, the remainder being paid with checks signed by A. M. Darsey & Co., merchants. Some of the currency paid in by Mr. Tierney was wet and sandy, Indi cating, as he (the witness) believed, that the money had been buried. One of the bills deposited was of the denomination of $500. On cross-examination, Mr. Dolenty said that the $10,000 was really owed by the firm of Darsey & Co., of which Tierney was a member, and he held Tierney re sponsible for the debt. He also admitted that he had sought the nomination for state senator, which went to Mr. Tierney, and also that Mr. Tierney had recently started a rival bank. Alexander C. Johnson, cashier of the American National bank, of Helena, tes tified concerning the sale of $46,000 worth of stock in the Fergus County bank, wrhich had been made by him for ex-United States Senator T. C. Power, after the elec tion of Mr. Clark. The witness said he had, previous to the sale of the stock, asked State Senator Hobson to find a cus tomer for him. The sale had been con summated by Cashier Kurtz, of the Mon tana National bank, but he had not said where the purchase money came from. At this point the names of Ben Hill and L. L. Wright, two Witnesses from Mon tana, who had been summoned, were sailed, but both Mr. Campbell and ex Senator Edmunds said they did not believe It would be fair to themselves or to Mr. Clark to have them testify. The Intima tion was that they had made contradic tory statements, and It -appeared neither side desired their testimony. Powell Block, of White Sulphur Springs, a member of the Montana house of repre sentatives, who voted for Mr. Clark for the senate, was the next witness, tout his( tes timony was not material. C. H". Fortman, treasurer of the Jeffer son Club, of Helena, identified a letter re ceived from Senator Clark, in which the latter had referred to his son, C. W. Clark, and Mr. Wellcome as his representatives in Helena. Mr. Fortman said that during the sitting of the legislature last winter, he had asked Mr. Clark for a contrlbu- j ticn of $200 with which to pay the lndebt edness of the club, and the latter replied saying he would refer the request tohIs son or Mr. Wellcome, as they had charge of all his expenses In Helena.

For Withtlravrnl From Cuba. WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-Clayton of Alabama today Introduced the following resolution: "Resolved, That on July 4, 1900, the mili tary and naval forces of the United States be withdrawn from the island of Cuba, and that the government thereof be left to the Cuban people. "Resolved, further, That the president of the United States be and he Is hereby directed to make proclamation of this res olution, and all proper orders for the exe cution thereof." LEFT TO THE COMMISSION SETTLEMENT OF THE QUESTION OF PHILIPPINE CHURCH PROPERTY. Rights of the Friars Burial of a Washing-ton Volunteer at Vancouver. , NEW YORK, Jan. 29. A special to the Herald from Washington says: President McKiniey has determined to leave to the new Philippine com mission the question of the dis position of church property In the archipelago. The commission will con sult with the municipal officials relative to the action to be taken, and the status of the friars who remain In the Islands will also be determined. At the same tlmo the administration will have to decide what shall be done with church property in the islands of Puerto Rico and the claims of the Catholic clergy both here and in the Philippines for the continuance of the support they received from the gov ernment of Spain, and which the clergy as sert Is guaranteed them by the treaty of Paris. Tlieee questions are embarrassing to the administration, especially as they are raised on the eve of the presidential cam paign, and there is no desire on the part of the officials to take any action which may be offensive to the Catholic voters of the country. While no formal claims have as yet been preferred by representa tives of the Catholic church for restora tion to the church of certain public build ings and lands in Puerto Rico, General Davis understands that it is the intention to claim ownership to several valuable structures In San Juan, and to ask for the surrender of the property. These edifices, it is asserted, belonged originally to certain rpMgious orders, but were taken possession of by Spain, held as public property, and finally transferred as such to the United States.

Hundreds of Your Friends Are Taking Advan tage of the $5 Rate of Ors. Copefand and Montgomery, and Being Cured of Long standing Troubles by These Specialists They Furnish the Most Scientific Treatment of A!I Diseases for $5 a Month, Medicines Included. Until the Innovation made by Drs. Copelnnd nnd Montgomery, in placing- medical skill and. thorough sci entific treatment for all aitteases within the reach o all by nmlcins their total cliarce tor treatment and medicines at ?3 a month, It was al most impossible for people in moder ate circumstances to obtain the aid of sUillful nnd conscientious special ists. It was, and still Is, for thut matter, a frequent occurrence to hear complaints made over the ex cessive fees charged by those claim ing; to be specialists. Drs. Copelnnd nnd Montgomery's charge is but $5 a month, including; all medicines, nnd the time required for a cure under their system is shorter than that oc cupied by any other method. More over, their cures are genuine and permanent. The fact, that, in spite of their vrell-estnblishetl nnd fairly earned reputation for honest work, skillful treatment nnd nncceaiifal results, they still maintain this low charge of 5 a month, shows that they aim not alone at financial suc cess us practitioners, but ns well at the accomplishment of the greatest possible good in the community. Their practice, which has long been several times larger than any other in this city, is still constantly in creasing, demonstrating continually that the public appreciates low charges when combined with un questionable skill, thoroughness nnd professional honesty. THESE SPEAK CURED OF A VERY SEVERE AND DANGEROUS I THROAT TROUBLE Mr. Iecester Snipes, The Dalles, Or., well known In the vicinity, having been born and raised in that busy little city. In speaking or his treatment and cure of a severe case of catarrh com plicated with bronchial trouble, Mr. Snipes said: "My trouble came on about 15 years ago as a result of exposure, and in spite of all I could do I grevr gradually worse each year and suffered more Intensely. "My home physicians were unable to do anything for me more than afford a. little temporary relief. Some of the doc tors I consulted said I had asthma, and one of the very best physicians on the coast diagnosed my case as consumption, and said my only hope was In a change of climate. I held a very fine position at that time, which I gave up at a great sacrifice, and did a3 he advised. I stayed away until I seemed entirely well, but just as soon as winter set In my trouble returned and I suffered worse than ever. "My head was stopped up and I had headache all the time. My throat was dry and sore and I had a distressing cough, accompanied by pains in the chest and a soreness through the left lung. After I went to bed there would be a tick ling in the throat, which set me to cough ing The air passages seemed to contract and close up. I would sit up In bed, sometimes the greater part of the night, coughing and gasping for breath. I often thought I would Choke before I could get relief. After coughing until I was completely exhausted I would raise a lot of stringy mucus, which gave me relief, but the next night it was the same old story. Under this suffering and loss of sleep I lost flesh and strength. "I had doctored until I had but little confidence In doctors or medicine, but this fall, on the urgent advice of a friend, who was personally acquainted with the great success of the Copeland treatment In cases like mine. I decided to make one more effort for relief, for I felt I could not spend another winter In suffering and misery. I began to Improve from the first and now feel as well as I ever did in ray life.

CATARRH OF STOMACH AND B0WEL5 Mr. J. H. Otto, 27-i Fourth street, Portland. Several years ago I took a course of treatment at the Copeland In stitute for a catarrhal trouble, affecting my head, stomach and bowels, the result of an attack of Panama fever 29 years before. At that time I was In ray 63d year and thought this would be against a cure, but under the treatment given me my catarrh got well and my stomach and bowels healed. My appetite returned and I gained in weight and strength I am now as well as any man of my age, due to the excellent treatment I received at the Copeland Institute. Miss M. A. Taylor, -MO East Sher man street. Portland. I suffered from catarrh since childhood. The worst of my trouble was In my stomach and bowels. Everything I ate gave me sreat distress, followed by bloating and belching. My stomach was sore and tender. I had diar rhoea, with gas and gurgling in the bow els. The disease affected my ears and I had a ringing and buzzinff In the left ear and my hearing was very dull. I began a course of treatment at the Copeland Institute and am thankful to say that now I am strong and well. RHEUMATISM AND DEAFNESS. Mrs. Iu H. Clarke, well known In and about Portland, residing at Gresham. I am 69 years of age and had suffered for years with rheumatism and deafness. I was completely crippled with rheumatism, being compelled to use crutches all tho time. My deafness came on gradually, but when I began my treatment I was almost totally deaf. Even my own voice sounded far off. People had to speak right into my cars to make me hear. I was nearly distracted with a ringing and buzzing and sounds like the roar of the ocean In my ears. I couldn't eat or sleep and was weak and nervous. The Copeland physicians cured me completely- I have no more rheumatism and I hear nearly as well as i ever uiu m my . life. I consider this wonderful In a wom an of my age and never fall to give the Copeland physicians the praise they so richly deserve. CONSULTATION FREE. DR.
