Fulton was elected United States Senator tonight at 12:12 o'clock. Victory came after scenes of Intense excitement and amid the wildest clamor from his friends. It was on the ISth ballot of the evening and the 42d of the session. At U, o'ctocJc-the opposition made a. futile utternpt' to unite upon the 'name of II.. -W. Scott, -of Portland. Jdr. Scott received the' unanimous sunnort n the Multnomah delegation for two ballots. On the third ballot or the ISth of the evening, when the minute-hand of th clock was pointed to within three minutes or midnight, Mr. Nottingham, of Multno ham, arose as his name was called and made the first break from the Portland members for Mr. Fulton. He -was fol lowed by Mr. Banks, and then, after sev eral other changes had been made, by Representatives Fisher and Jones. Mr. Jones' vote, however, was not needed he was the ISth man. To Senator Daly, of Benton County, the fortune of completing the triumph of the candidate of Astoria fell. He was the lath, and It took IS to elect. When Mr. Nottingham abandoned his Multnomah colleagues Mr. Fulton had 23 votes. It had been arranged that the Marlon delegation would vote for Mr. Scott on the next ballot, and If Mr. Not tingham had seen fit to abide by the wishes and plans of his delegation. It Is quite probable that Multnomah County would have been successful In Its effort to elect a man from Portland. -With his con version to Mr. Fulton the tide In the di rection of that gentleman set In, and on him. therefore, rests largely the responsi bility and the honor of naming the new United States Senator. The order In which the changes from the opposition to Mr. Fulton was brought about was as follows: Nottingham. Banks. Crolsan, Hume, Haydcn. Johnston, Mulkey, Stelwer. Fish er. Daly and W. N. Jonesof Multnomah. Kay of Marion had. however, taken up his abode in the Fulton camp at 11 o'clock, when the name of Mr. Scott was first pro posed. HOW FULTON WON OUT. Story of the Battle at the Fateful Midnight Hour. SALEM. Or., Feb, 20.-Staff correspond ence.) The balloting for United States Senator began at 8 o'clock and was car ried forward continuously until the time of the great triumph of Mr. Fulton. De spite the efforts of a hard-worked com mittee to limit the number of persons in attendance, there was a vast crowd of persons in the Hall of Representatives. The- noise and confusion were great. It was necessary many times to interrupt the roll call in order to restore order, but it was generally In vain. The crowd was there to see a Senator made, and to make a demonstration for the favorite candi dates. Mr. Fulton appeared to, be the popular choice of the majority, though there was a numerous and strong-lunged contingent of men who frequently made themselves heard for Governor Geer. The progress of voting was somewhat slower than on previous similar occasions. Pres ident Brownell. at the end of almost everj ballot, gave a brief respite to the labors of the wearied legislators by allow ing the convention to rest at ease, or such ease as it could command. The struggle Journeyed on. and there was no change from any candidate, no speeches and no distinct evidence of what the outcome would be until 10:55 o'clock. Then Dr. Andrew C Smith, Senator from Multnomah, arose and addressed the chair for the first formal address of the evening. The crowd became for once silent, and awaited with Intense Interest the beginning of Dr. Smith's remarks. He nominated H. W. Scott, in an address of glowing eloquence, eulogizing him In the highest terms and inviting the Legis lature how to unite upon a candidate who siWh--raw smw&Bm i m was eminently fit to represent the state at Washington. Dr. Smith spoke for more than 15 min utes, and was listened to with the closest attention throughout. He was followed by Representative Malarkcy, who second ed Mr. Scott's nomination In a fine speech, which drew forth much applause. Repre sentative Eddy followed In a warm ad dress for Mr. Fulton, and Representative Davey declared his purpose to abide by the will of the people and continue to strive for the election of Mr. Geer. The vote resulted: Fulton 31 Geer s Wood Scattering 2 Absent 1 Scott 28 Total W It was 11U o-clock when President Brownell ordered the next roll call. Bailey led off with a vote for Mr. Scott, and was followed by Banks, for the same candi date. The Fulton men stood pat. refus ing to be stampeded. When the roll call had been 'completed Kay of Marlon arose, and In a few remarks changed to Mr. Ful ton. The result was: Fulton 33, Scott 2S, Geer 8, Wood 17, Blnger Hermann L Mr. Geer's vote, which had been grow ing from' plow accessions from the Mult nomah delegation during the' evening and had reached a maximum of 30. was re duced on this ballot to eight. Just half the 16 Geer men. therefore, had gone to Mr. Scott. The President then ordered another bal lot, but before the clerk could begin the roll call Senator Mulkey, of Polk, asked for recognition by the chair and made a very eloquent speech In behalf of Mr. Scott. It was commendatory of Mr. Scott's personal character and his long Journal istic service In the State of Oregon as the editor of The Oregonlan. As the roll call was proceeding there was a diversion that attracted the attention of the Im mense audience. Mr. Fulton, who had been sitting quietly In his seat voting for his friend. R. D. Hume, when his name was called mounted the platform. His appearance called forth a loud demonstra tion from his admirers, and there were repeated demands for a speech. - He stood Immovably behlrld -Prerident Brownell chair for several moments and then engaged In earnest conversation with the President. A consultation followed between Mr. Fulton and President Brown ell. Speaker Harris, Senator Kuykendall and Whitney L. Boise.. Mr. Brownell finally returned to his place and stood with Impawive face watching the progress of the vote. There was an uneasy whis per during the course of the conference that Mr. Fulton had decided to withdraw, but he hadn't. At the end of the ballot Senator Fulton returned to the floor of the House. There was some delay In beginning- the next ballot and Fulton waived his finger at the President and asked for "another roll call. It was then 11:53 o'clock and there was a mighty Jtfr In the crowd. Nothing out of the usual .order happened until the name of Mr. Nottingham was reached. He then arose and after eulogizing- Mr. Fen ton, for whom ho had voted for a great part of the session, made the fateful change: to Charles W. Fulton.

It was' instantly stilled when it was-seen that Senator "Mulkey was doing his best to secure the attention cf the President, It was sup posed that he, also Intended to cast his lot with the man from Astoria. He did not, however. He spoke briefly and called upon the Legislature to unite for Mr. Scott. Then Representative Banks made It apparent that he had something to say CONTEXTS OF TODAY'S PAPER.

"It Is a per sonal sacrifice to me In a business and po litical way. But I will do It 'if my wife and I have to live In a barn with batens on It." He" then went on to eulogize Mr. Fulton, and ended by changing his vote to him. Representative Hume was the next to address the chair, but Senator Crolsan se cured recognition first. "We must have a Senator," said Crolsan. "and I therefore change to Charles W. Fulton." "I am not able to be the last man," said Mr. Hume, "but I desire to cast my vote with the majority." Other remarks made by Mr. Hume were lost In the vast uproar and disorder that by this time dominated the whole body. Representative Hayden came next, but his address could not be well heard In the noise. Senator Johnston was next. and Senator Mulkey accepted the Inevit able and Joined the winning candidate. Senator Stelwer quietly asked the clerk to record him for Mr. Fulton, and then Representative Fisher followed suit. Sen ator Daly made the necessary forty-fifth and Fulton was elected. The crowd was uncertain that the great transaction had been done, and made no unusual demonstration until It saw a number of friends of the successful can didate rush over to his seat and lift him high on their shoulders. Meanwhile, Rep resentative Jones had got on the band wagon. Mr. Fulton was carried by his pleased and enthusiastic friends down to the front of the President's rostrum. Pandemonium reigned for several mo ments, and Senator Fulton was all but pulled to pieces in the grand rush to seize him by the hand. He was finally called to the side of President Brownell. When silence had been restored Presi dent Brownell said: "I have the pleasure and distinguished honor to introduce to you a young and vigorous man, whose voice has for many years been lifted up for the Republican party In Oregon, and whom you have Just elected to a seat In the United States Sen ate. He Is a man of true honor, and one who has done much to stop the spirit of1 sectionalism which has prevailed too long In this state. He lives In the northern part of the state, and his election means that a man will represent Oregon In the. United States Senate, whether he comes from extreme Southern Oregon or lives down where the Columbia River empties Its waters-Into the great Pacific. He will repte3ent every section of our common wealth, and will work In perfect harmony with that other brilliant man. Hon. John H. Mitchell." Senator Fulton advanced to the Speak er's desk and said: Mr. Fulton Speaks. '"Mr. President. Mr. Speaker, Members of the Oregon Legislature and Ladles and Gentlemen: I have often heard that words ,are wholly Inadequate to express the deep est feelings of the heart, but I have never before appreciated the full meaning of that saying. How can I sufficiently thank you for this splendid and distinguished honor? I fln myself wholly without words 'Concluded on Page 0.) CANAL TREATY BLOCKED Statehood Men Are Ready for Extra Session. IF DEMANDS ARE NOT GRANTED Quny Denies He Gave Pledgee to Sup port Canal Treaty Move for Open Session Is Abortive Quay Com pelled to Do His Own Reading. The deadlock brought about by the alliance between the advocates of state hood and the opponents of the, Panama Canal treaty In the Senate has brought about renewed negotiations tor a com promise on the former issue. The compromise "talked of Is the ad- mission of two,- lnsteadof three, states and the ratification of the- cacal and Cuban treaties. The Democrats may prove an obstacle, aa they have blth- ..tn Irt.l.tfkft nn itir. nw states. Opponents ot statehood tear that the. ?' friends of that measure have enough votes to carry it as a rider to the post office appropriation bill, and are pre pared to bold out. even It an extra, ses sion results. The obstructive tactics were contin ued In the secret session yesterday, and a move for open sessions on the treaty failed. WASHINGTON,. Feb. 20. The Senate spent the entire- day In executive- seeslon considering the Panama Canal treaty and at 5:25 P. M. took a recess until tomorrow at 11 o'clock. No vote was taken on..any of the amendments which have Tjeen pre pared by Senator Morgan. The decision of the steering committee against a nI5ht.sesBi0n.WBt. reachpd.at ta meeting .of the. committee held Juring the afternoon, aCne .request .of Senator Cul lom, who has the Colombian".' otherwise known as. the' Panama Canal, treaty In charge and wished the. steering committee to advise abandoning the night sessions. -The .committee decided that the senti ment of .the Senate was against holding: another night session until an effort had been made to reach an adjustment of the somewhat tangled legislative situation. In order to bring about an adjustment It was suggested that some compromiao might be made on the statehood bill. The opponents of the statehood bill never have believed that the measure -could be carried as a rider on the Post office appropriation bill In the Senate, but the friends , of the measure have dis covered that they have the votes not only to carry out this plan, but to overrule the chair should he decide that the rider was not In order. Inquiry about the Senate today made the opposition apprehensive, though not convinced of this claim, and in the committee today they said that. If such be the case, it would mean an extra, session of Congress and that the appro priation bill with the statehood rider would be defeated. It was also found that the leaders In the statehood fight were willing to assume the responsibility for this outcome. With this situation before It the steer ing committee began to discuss the pos sibility of a compromise. Senators Quay and Elklns "Snd other Republicans who have been favoring the statehood bill were called In and the matter was canvassed at some length, but without approaching; an agreement. The. Democrats have not been consulted, and, as they stood out solidly against the plan of compromiao for the creation of two new states, they may not accept any compromise proposi tion. Should a compromise be agreed upon. It Is stated that it will Include the rati fication of the Colombian and Cuban treaties. Burton Talks Statehood. When the Senate met at 11 A. M. it was still the legislative day of yesterday, a recess having been taken last night until this morning. The proceedings were still behind closed doors. The Panama Canal treaty was immedi ately laid before the Senate. Morgan yielded the floor to Burton, an odvocatl of the omnibus statehood bllL He spoke, especially of the Importance of the pas sage of that measure, only Indirectly re ferring to the treaty. His contention waa that while the canal treaty might be a meritorious measure, the statehood bill was equally so, and that.lt should be voted upon. Senator Burton's speech was drawn out by some criticisms of the decisions of the Republican caucus. Senator Quay mad complaint of the publication, and Senator Hoar said that the caucus discussions were not for the newspapers. Senator Burton referred only briefly to the caucus, then made an argument of an hour and a hairs duration in favor of the admission of the three proposed states. Burton was generally congratulated al the conclusion of his remarks. Dubois (Idaho) followed -with a speech In criticism of the treaty, and ot what be characterized as the summary action of the Republican caucus. He .com plained that the caucus had tried to forc a vote of the Senate upon a measure that had not been considered at all, and said this could not be done. He added thai the attention which had been given to thi treaty had shown it- to be full of defects, and these were sufficient to Justify the de mand for a thorough Investigation.
