THE MOHNIKG- OREGONIAN, MONDA3T, FEBRUARY 11, 190L NO CHANGE IN SIGHT Senatorial Situation Shows No Visible Movement. M'BRIDE MAY RE-ENTER RACE fndse "William Likely to Hold Mi nority Vote for Few Day Pen. nojer Advises Democrats Also to Vote for'Him. SALEM. Or., Feb. 10. There has been no visible movement of any kind today to Indicate any sort of change in the Sen atorial fight tomorrow; The -various lead ers have been out of the city, and no new plans have been formulated, so far as can be ascertained. The Republican minority will probably continue to vote Tor Judge Williams for a day or two Then they may take up other Republicans sue cesslvely. Just to show that any candidate is acceptable to them but Mr. Corbett There are hints that this is Indeed their exact plan, and that the ultimate purpose Is to return to Mr. McBride or Mr Mitchell. Senator McBride will in any event. It Is said, return and remain till the end of the fight. It is possible that in the course of a few days Blnger Her mann will receive the votes of the oppo sition. If all the minority votes yester day cast for Judge Williams were to tie added to Mr. Hermann's eight, the total would be 32, one more than are at present voting for Mr. Corbett, but It is known that there are members of the minority .who are very much opposed to Mr. Her mann, and who have not hesitated to say o It may therefore be dlfiicult to de l'ver the 24 to him, even for the purpose of carrying out the complimentary game. The Democrats will probably have a cau cus tomorrow night, and the committee appointed to confer with the minority Re publicans will then be expected to report progress. A letter said to have been V'rltten by ex-Governor Pennoyer to Judge Eweek, advising the Democrats to vote for Judge AVlillams, may then be pre sented. It Is not at all likely that it will have much effect. The day has long since passed when any suggestion from Mr. Pennoyer to the Democracy of the state la potent. There is no sentiment what ever among them for Judge Williams. RAILROAD BILLS IX HOUSE. Ttto 3Ieasnrea Will Be Pat on Final Possaee Tills AVcelc. SALEM, Or., Feb. 10. The fifth week of the Legislative session gives promise of being far more Interesting in the House than any of the prior proceedings. Under special order the railroad bills, five In number, come up for discussion and fina' passage. These bills are: House bill No. 15, by Colvig, amending law relating to traffic on railroads. House bill No. 40, by Carter, to restrict railroad passenger rates. House bill No. 41. by Butt, regulating passenger and freight rates. House bill No. SO, by Poorman, fixing the liability of corporations for injuries to employes (the fellow-servant act). House bill No. 107. by Miller, to create a board of railroad commissioners. The House committee on railroads and transportation presented unfavorable re ports on the three bills designed to re duce the rates of passenger traffic, but Butts, one of its members, domurred and filed a minority report In each Instance. JThis brought about a general discussion, resulting in not only those particular three bills, but those introduced by Poor man and Miller, being made a special order for Monday. Opinion is divided among the members regarding the bills proposing to reduce passenger rates on the railroads. It is argued by some that the amendment to the bills, exempting all roads operated entirely in Oregon, from the reduction, Is really unconstitutional, and the railroad companies will really exert no strenuous opposition to passage in their present form. The Poorman liability bill makes It unlawful for any railroad or railway cor poration or company owning and operat ing, or operating, or that may hereafter own or operate a railroad In whole or in part in this state to adopt or promulgate any rule or regulation for the govern ment of its servants or employes, or make or enter into any contract or agree ment with any person engaged in, or about to engage in Its services, iii which, or by the terms of which such employ In any manner, directly or indirectly promises or agrees to hold such corpor ation or company harmless on account of any Injury he may receive by reason of any accident, to breakage, defect or in sufficiency in the cars or machinery and attachments thereto belonging, upon any cars so owned or operated, or being run and operated by such corporation, or com pany, being defective, and any such rule, regulation, contract or agreement shall be of no effect This measure has al ready been printed in full in The Ore gonlan. It had exactly the same his tory m the House as the rate reduction measures. Heltkemper made a minority report against the majority, who re ported unfavorably. The minority re port was adopted by the House, and therefore the House is practically on rec ord as favoring the Poorman measure. The Miller bill provides for appointment by the Governor of the railroad commis sioners, who will receive a salary of $2500 annually, and the board is authorized to employ a clerk at a salary of J2000 annually. County seems to be confined entirely to residents of that section, who have taken the Initiative. in the matter Thus far Union County Is putting up little. If any, defense, possibly trusting to the good ldck that came its way In the past when a similar attempt was made. The Baker County people here are taking little In terest in the proposed annexation. Some openly express the view that It Is a bad time for Baker to attempt increase of its boundaries, when schemes are being agitated to wrest from It a part of the territory it now holds title to The move to create another county, and the ambi tion of people living in the Sumpter dis trict to have a county of their own, impel many of the Baker County people to con sider that it is a good thing to let well enough alone. So they are not showing any great spirit of interest over the Pan handle community effort to gain a change of rulers. THIRD READING OF HOUSE BILLS. Measure Affecting: Multnomah Conntr Come Up This Week. SALEM.

Baker Indifferent to Expansion. SALEM. Feb. 10. Baker County seems to have greatness thrust upon It. The effort to annex the Panhandle of Union Oltl Joke Not Yet Perpetrated. SALEM. Feb 10 No one of the legal lights In the House has yet, in a mo ment of mental abstraction, bowed down with the weight of professional thought, had the temerity to address the Speaker of the House as "your honor." It always happens, and there are yet two weeks of lime in which &ome one or more can perpetuate the time-honored Joke. DROVE OVER EMBANKMENT. An Unknown Man at Salem Seriously Injured Thereby. SALEM. Or., Feb. 10. An unknown man. about 30 years of age, and reported to be a resident of the vicinity of Mill City.-'drove over an embankment in the outskirts of this city last night, and sus tained a severe fracture of the skull. He has been unconscious since the accident, and the chances for his recovery are slight. He Is above medium size, has a brown mustache, wore a brown duck coat, black vest, blue overalls, and drove a roan horse. The buggy had no top. A bill of sale dated September 25, 1900, no place given, was found In his pocket. This Indicates that the man's name is J. C. Young, and that he bought his horse from a man named John Pike. He had in his buggy a butcher knife and whet stone, and may have been a butcher. The accident happened while he was trying to leave town on the Turner road, and lost his way on a dark street.

The last day will fall upon February 22, a legal holi day. The Legislature will therefore prob ably adjourn sine die on the evening of February 21, or hold a last session on February 23. The members -will receive no compensation for time they may put in after February 22. With less than one-third of the whole time remaining, he Legislature has yet to take final action upon those matters which are of first importance, and which "will require the closest and greatest amount of attention. Bills relating to assess ment and taxation, or, rather, the equali zation of assessments, are still in the hands of committees, and unless taken up out of their regular order, can scarcely be acted upon before the last week of the session. There are several measures pending for the increase of "state reve nues, and each of these will occupy con siderable time. The primary election bills, general public school bills and spe cial appropriation bills are other measures that will be subjects of exhaustive dis cussion and will consume no small amount of time. The Senate has already on third read ing bills enough to occupy the attention of that body all this week. Two import ant bills have been made special orders for Monday afternoon Brownell's bill to provide relief for various orphans homes, and the bill by Smith of Baker to license stationary engineers. These, with the reading of reports, messages, etc., will occupy the greater part of the afternoon. The bills which should, In regular order, come up for final passage next week are as follows: S. B. 63, by Looney, to provide for the election of a Dairy and Food Commis sioner. S. B. 84, by Hunt, to provide for the erection of a monument to the Second Oregon Volunteers. S. B. 116, by Daly, to regulate the sale of school and university land. S. B. 131, by Inman, relating to the con duct of elections. S. B. 37, by Brownell, to provide for the publication of a revised code of Ore gon. S. B. 79, by Stelwer, to amend the act creating "Wheeler County. S. B. 81, by Proebstel, to prohibit the use of nickel-in-the-slot machines. S. B. 82, by Inman, relating to the filing of supplementary articles of incorpora tion. S. B. 90, by Sweek, to fix the compen sation of Justices of the Peace and Con stables in certain counties. S. B. Ill, by Inman, to amend the law relating to the taking of depositions of witnesses. S. B. 115, by Wade, to regulate the fees to be paid to county officers. S. B. 120, by Sweek, fixing the amount of costs to be allowed the prevailing party in suits and actions. S. B. 129, by Hunt, to amend the regis tration law. S. B. 128, by Inman, 'to define the liabil ity of owners of vessels for damage to property on land. S. B. 146, by Booth, to regulate the loca tion of mining claims. S. B. 151, by Fulton, to amend the law prescribing the manner of redeeming prop erty from execution sale. S. B. 152, by Inman, to regulate corpora tions. S. B. 154, by Adams, to protect plate glass. S. B. 155, by Wehrung, to repeal the law relating to Jury lists in Justices Courts. S. B. 163, by Mulkey, to provide for the appointment of a matron at the peniten tiary. S. B. 36, by Mulkey, to fix liability of Sheriffs for uncollected taxes. S. B. 39, by Mulkey, to prescribe the powers of a guardian of an insane person. S. B. 40, by Mulkey, to provide for the taxation of dogs. S. B. 114, by Fulton, relating to the resi dence of directors of incorporations. S. B. 143, by Booth, to protect hotel and boarding-house keepers. In addition to these Senate bills, the Senate has before it about a score of House bills that have not passed to second reading. That the Senate will be able to put ail of these House bills on third read ing this week, without taking them up out of the regular order, is Improbable. The Portland charter bill, which was In troduced in the Senate Saturday, was not expected to pass the Legislature as Intro duced. It Is imperfect in several import ant particulars, but was introducd In that condition in order to secure a place upon the calendar, and hasten Its passage. The bill was read twice and referred to a spe cial committee, composed of the members of the Multnomah delegation. The delega tion will give the bill their first attention and will probably be able to report It back to the Senate In perfect form by the middle of this week. Another matter to come up for recon sideration on Monday will be the pro posed woman's suffrage amendment to the constitution. It was defeated last Friday, but some of the chivalrous mem bers are "willing to give the promoters of the measure one more try to secure favor able consideration. The resolution has passed the Senate, but from present Indi cations the House will not recede from its position taken when the resolution was first voted upon. The bill giving 15000 to the Oregon His torical Society will be considered in the House tomorrow afternoon under a spe cial order. Its consideration is not likely to take up any considerable time, as no opposition to the measure has been awakened. Donnelly Hotel. Tacoma. European plan. Rates. 50c and up. BUSINESS ITEMS.

Ba con, a blacksmith of Nyssa, Or., is In the hospital here in a precarious condi tion, the result of a blow on the head by William Hoxie, his partner. The lat ter struck him over the right temple with a doubletree. The assault took place in Bacon's shop, Wednesday morn ing, but he was not taken to the hospital till last night. The two men had had trouble over their partnership, but could not agree on dissolution. They had some words In the shop Wednesday morning, Bacon finally telling Hoxie to take the whole thing. Then he turned his back to Hoxie and began working about the forge. Hoxie picked up a whiffietree and struck Bacon a terrible blow over the temple, crushing the skull. Many splinters of bone were taken from the wound here. He is a strong man and may recover, though great anxiety is felt. OREGON VOLUNTEER BURIED.

OREGON CITY, Feb. 10. A mass meet ing of citizens was held in the County Court room of the Court House last night, for the purpose of discussing the proposition to organize a citizens co operative meat market. About 200 persons were present, mostly employes of the mills and factories here. On February 1 the butchers of the city announced an increase in the price of all meats of from 1 cent to G cents on the pound. They claim that the rise in the price of live stock made this increase in the retail price necessary. But the consumers con sider the prices exorbitant and unreason able, and declare they cannot pay them. Steaks that were 12 cents a pound are now 18 and 20 cents, and all other meats In proportion. At the meeting last night It was de cided to organize a joint stock company with a capital of $2000, at 5 a share; to establish and operate a meat market for the purpose of furnishing meats at a min imum cost. A committee was appointed to draft articles of incorporation, and other necessary papers. The local butchers are very much exer cised over the movement. They say that if it is carried out it will drive them out of the business, as they are selling meiits now just as low as they possibly can to make any profit at all. One thing is certain, the majority of the laboring people cannot afford to buy 18-cent meat on the wages they receive for their labor In the mills and factories here. It is ex pected that the butchers will take some action looking to a compromise with the citizens, and try to stop the organization of the company. Oregon Notes.
