The item of $150,000 for purr chasing the historic property of the late James G. Blaine in order to pre vent its use for other purposes, oc casioned a sharp debate, but was fin ally agreed to. The Behring sea award of $425,000 proposed to be paid by Secretary Gresham to the British government was defeated in the house on a yea and nay roll call by a vote of 112 to 143.

Washington, Feb. 25. The president touay nominated Otin Wellborn of California to be United States district judge for the southern district of Call fornia, and John W. Showalter of Illi nois to be United States circuit judge or tne seventh judicial district CONSUL RESIGNS. Washington, Feb. 25. The secre tary of state has received the resigna tion of Charles S. Haseltine of Michi gan as United States consul at Milan. Washington, Feb. 25 The general deficiency bill, the last of the regular appropriation bills, passed .the house today. Almotet the entire day was spent in discussing the amendment to pay Great Britain $425,000, the amount of damage agreed upon by Secrettyry Gresham and iSir Julian rannceforte to be due under the award of the Paris arbitration tri bunal on account of the seizure of some twenty Canadian sealers by the United States previous to the modus Vivendi of 1802. The amendment was strongly attacked by Cannon of Illi nois, Henderson of Iowa, and Hitt on the ground that the amount was unreasonably large; that some of the vessels were owned by citizens of the United States, and $375,000 was for constructive or speculative damages (the estimated catch). Only $81,000 they contended was due Great Britain. Dingley supported the amendment, maintaining that the government no matter how bad the bargain, must carry, out the awards of the Paris tri bunal in good faith. Dingley declared that it was pref erable to pay Great Britain $425,000 than to leave the assessment of dam ages to an umpire appointed by for lejign powers. The amendmd:t was carried in committee but was defeated in the house. "Washington, Feb. 25.

McBrideA . . . 1 2 1 1 1 1 I 1 2 2 1 3 72 George W. McRride, United States senator from Oregon! The republican; party of Oregon, has proven itself equal to the task of breaking the deadlock by electing a United States senator. It didn't have to go outside the family circle to find an honored son upon whom it was possible to unite. It 'took a long while for the "thirty" and forty-two" to get their heads near, but when they finally did reason together the result was an election that will be an honor to the state, the nation and the republican party. - The selection of Mr. McBride to carry out this trust is a selection that will bring about the greatest good for the party of the state. It will serve as but few selectiinns could have done under the aggravated circumstances. To say that it is a choice that meets With the approval of the general public is a mild statement of the truth which the grand demonstration upon the adoption by the "thirty" of Lis nomina tion S3 earnestly, firmly impressed. That the senator-elect is In close touch with the people and that he is their friend and that they are bis was more clearly demonstrated by their ac tions last night when .he appeared be fore them on the platform than words can tell. 1 i .i , . The cheers that were sent "up for George W. McBride were from the heart. The people who know him not only respect and honor him they love him. The hall of representatives, the corri dors, the galleries and every other con venient space in the state house was never so crowded with humanity as it was last night from 7 o'clock to mid night. Public excitement had been aroused to such a pitch that persons remained at the hall all the afternoon and evening, accompanied by then- lun ches so as to secure favorable posi tions and seats. - Long before the joint convention assembled every seat, chair, desk, railing, window seat and platform step, was occupied, while standing room was packed like a sardine box. So soon as the balloting began the greatest possible anxiety was aroused. Arrangements had been made for trans mitting bulletins to the secretary of state's office and thence to the masses in the outer corridors and upon receipt of each succeeding result the noise of the public discussion of its merits could be heard within the house. On the first ballot the Dolph forces were great ly cheered by the return to their ranks of Smith of Clackamas and Gowan who had left them temporarily at the after noon session, and then t? general be lief was that the die was cast and there would be no election. Through all the weary round of twenty-two ballots the crowd remained, the monotony being relieved at intervals by the "change of horse" at each "relay" , of the anti Dolph republicans. They led out for the evening's race with Williams, but dropped him early for Judge J. B. Wal do, of Marion, who they left after two ballots for the younger and more vigorous steed Fulton, to whom ihey attached themselves for ten laps, but were compelled to drop him. The only accession of note to the Fulton standard was Senator Brown ell of Clackamas, who broke from Dolph on the fifth ballot of the evening the for ty-first of the total.. The next man se lected was Tongu3, but Mr. Brownell shifted to George W. MoBride, as did Senator Hobson on the next, and after five ballots wi jhout gain the antis took up Governor Lord and two ballots were had as the clock pointed half an hour Joint Ballot, by Seventy-two Republicans of the of midnight. The crowd was In good humor socially, as a few boxes of or anges had bean brought in and scat tered and thrown all over the house in boyish, sportive glee, a short time be fore. Everybody was happy and the time was ripe for a crisis. The op portunity was grasped by Cleetan of Columbia, who in a few well chosen words recited the well known condi tions and his previous loyalty to Dolph, ending with the announcement of his Intention to vote for George W. Mc Bride. The roll call proceeded and the first representative from the Dolph ranks to step to the McBride column was J. L. Calvert of this county. The first senator to take a like step was Dr. Calbreath of Yamhill. Senators Hobson and Patterson and Speaker Mores also took their positions for Mr. MoBride and when the roll call was completed he had forty-two votes or three short of enough to elect. Follow ing is the vote as between Mr. Dolph and Mr. MoBride: . Dolph- Bancroft, Beach. : BlundeU, Bridges, Card well, Carter, Conn, Daly, David, Dawson, Denny, Geaner, Gow an, Long,. Maxwell, MoCraken, McGinn, McGreer, Moorhead, Myers, Paxton, Price, Smith of Clackamas, Smith of Josephine, Smith of Polk, SUdwer, Templeton, Thompson, Wood aid and Simon 30. McBride. Alley, Baflcer, Barkley, lioothby, Brownell, Burke, Calbreath, Calbert, Oleetan, Cole, Coon, Cooper, Craig, Curtis, Davis, "Dunn, Gates, Gowdy, Guild, Gurdane, Hillegas, Hob son, Hofer, Hope, Johnson, Keyt, Les ter, Lyle, McOluiig, Mtatoie, Patterson, Patterson, Rinearson, Scott, Sehlbrede, Shutrum, Smith of Limn, Stanley, Ti gard, Wright, Yates and Moores 42. The first to change hia vote was Templeton, who mounted a seat and said he wanted a senator. He was fol lowed by Smith of Polk, and he in turn by Bridges, who made the last one. needed, but several others, led by Geo. T. Myers, also changed and the end was that Paxton's motion to record the republican 72 as unanimous for him was adopted on the second of Senator McGinn. Through all these latter scenes joyful pandemonium reigned. Finally a com mittee was sent after the new senator, who appeared and made a neat speech of appreciation, promising the most faithful service for the state of his birth. Three cheers were given for Mr. McBnae with such a vein as made the building almost shake. Then the crowd yelled for Fulton and that gen tleman being found his appearance was the signal for the wildest and most hearty demonstration of the 'night, except perhaps when Senator Brownell made his eloquent speech announcing hia change to Fulton as spoken of above. Mr. Fulton, spoke for a few moments in his able, manly way and assured his houseful of admirers that he was never happier 'in his life than he was then in witnessing the united republicanism of Oregon. He1 was cheered to the echo and at Speaker Moores request, three cheers were given for "the united republican party." Three cheers were likewise sent up for Speaker Moores himself. Thomas H. Tongue was called for with such, determination jthat 'that gontleman came forward with a few words of congratulation on the happy, ending and words of cheer for the re publican hosts again marching nnder a common flag. He, too,, was heartily received and applauded. Representative Barkley, the brilliant orator of the Marion county delegation, was called out and spoke in his usual pleasing way. He was in high favor with the house, for he had seconded Mr. Cleeton's nomination of Mr. Mc Bride in a manner which left no doubt of his sincerity and that of the whole of the thirty antis for any acceptable republican, and that, as much as any thing had made clear sailing for Mr. Cleeton's favorite. The feeling was so good the crowd was loth to sepa rate, but a motion to dissolve the joint convention finally prevailed, and soon the platform was crowded with friends offering hearty congratulations to the new senator. Not only that but In a few minutes the telegraph wires brought from the southern confines of the state a telegram of like tenor and many others from all over the state poured in later. The contents of the first one will be an Indication of all. Jt was as follows: Medtord, Or, Aooept hearty oon- Highest of all in Leavening ABSOIAnrEEV PURE granulations. Republicans and the people generally are heartily satisfied with the choice of the joint session of the Oregon legislature. Charles E. Wolcomlb, A. S. Hammond, Geoge F. Merriman." Following the dissolution of the joint convention, bath houses in their sepa rate chambers adjourned sice die, and thus the most remarkable session of the Oregon legislature ever held came to an end. The solution of the deadlock was ef fected at so late an hour that the leg islature had no itime to elect the rail road commission and other officers. On the list are the following: Three railroad commissioners, game warden, food commissioner, pilot commission ers, etc., and state librarian. As the present incumbents of these offices were elected to serve "until their successors were elected and qualified" the same old railroad commission and other of ficers will be in the employ of the state for another biennial term, much to their surprnse. In the Stat sman of January 13th last, preceding the convening of he legislature, the following appeared: "George W. McBride steps out of the secretary of state's office after eight years of hard work, in which he has managed (the mWtifarious' i duties of that position with a skill and business tact rarely equalled and not excelled in any state In the Union. The na ture of the office in this state throws a great amount of responsibility upon his shoulders and it takes a good deal of gjctou(iine i courage and mainly 'gump tion to carry it successfully. "With 'the exception of a small part of the last term Mr. MoBride has per sonally directed every movement of the office. During his term of service, large sums of money have been en trusted to his wisdom and judgment for expenditure and in every instance the result has been satisfactory, every dollar has been laid out with a view to securing the best possible returns. Notable instances of his securing ex ceptionally good work for the state may be witnessed in the plumbing of the state house and. in the fixing and furnishing of the state library. In the latter case the most modern book fur niture was obtained, arranged in a system infinite in its accommodating possibilities, of the best Western grown material and at figures which could only be secured -by. the best directed personal effort. .. In the decoration and arrangement the same happy results wereob tamed ' aBda-large- -sunvet money saved. Instances might be mul tiplied innumaribbly butt It is not neces sary. It Is sufficient to say that he has done his full duty faithfully and well and that no mai has ever held office in Oregon who retired with more num erous or more faithful friends than George W. McBride. "George W. McBride is still a young man and will be many yeans an hon orable figure in Oregon's business and public affairs. He says he will per manently retire from politics, but should his health permit it, the people will be likely to call him forth again. He was born in Yamhill county, this state, in March, 1854, and has always lived in Oregon, except two years in San Francisco. He was elected to the legislature in 18S0 from Columbia coun ty and was chosen speaker of the house the following session He was nomi nated for secretary of state by the re publicans in 1886 and was duly elected and wrs again nominated and elected in 1890, both times 'by large major ities." Sad commentary on our boasted re publican majority, it required a call of the senate yesterday to save the raiilroad commissjioni rider ana tne general appropriation bill from Ignc minous defeat, and then it just did carry. Those voting nay were: Car ter, Huston, Johnson, King, McAllis ter, McClung, Smith of Clatsop, Smith of Sherman, Vanderberg. But sixteem votes were cast for the bill. Thwso -who were absent from the senate yesterday and thus escaped go ing on record either for or against abolishing the railroad commission ; the general appropriation bill were Tkairamv Rosmer. Hobson . and Brown ell. Beckley was absent on account of illness. Those voting in favor of the $20,000 appropriation were: Aiiey, Rnnnrnff. Butler. Calbreath. Cozswell. Denny, Gowan, Maxwell, McGinn, Pat terson, Price, Raley, Steiwer, ana ssi mon. At a later moment in the pro ceedings Dawson came in in time to vote in favor of repealing the law creating the commission. All other senators voted on this just as they had done on the item of the appro priation. Governor Lord approved the following bills yesterday and they are now num bered among the new laws of the legis lature of 1895: H. B. 283, Forest Grove charter. S. B. 201, regulating the practice of medicine. S. B. 197, preventing the sale of poor food, etc. S. B. 154, amending section dHo7, Hill's code;' relating to limited partner ships. . S.

Consequently Was Properly Estopped from Claiming Title. San Francisco, Feb. 25. The U. S. circuit court of appeals today decided against Josephine Hatch, an Indian woman in her contested suit against the Everett Land Co. of Washington. Mrs. Hatch contended that she was induced by misrepresentation of E. C. Ferguson, her husband's executor, to part with 240 acres of land; that she signed a power of attorney under the belief that it was a bond of friendship. The land was conveyed by Ferguson to Henry Hewitt and by him to the Everett Land Co. The court held that the company was an Innocent purchaser and that the woman, having accepted the purchase money and used it long oftor her contention that she had beeni defrauded, was estopped from claim ing title as against the Everett Land Co. The land is now very valuable. THE NEW SILVER PARTY. About to Be Completely and Perma nently Organized. Washington, Feb. 25 It is un derstood the leaders in the movement to organize a free silver party received advices from different parts of the country that such progress has been made as to make them feel fairly con fident they will be able to organize a new party which will command the support of silver men throughout the country. A platform has been agreed upon which plants the whole party on a plan of free silver, eliminating all ether demands of the populist platform of 1892. It is impossible, however, to obtain particulars as all those in at tendance upon the conference now la session aire pledged to absolute se crecy. " Tt fa uhderstood' tJiat General IWeav, ver is principal mover in this effort to secure the union of the silver forc es and the dissolution of the old par ties. THE FOUND NO BOOTY. TUCSON, Feb. 5. The west bound overland on the Southern Pa cific was held up tonight at Stein's Pass, N. M. When the west-bound overland reached Stein's . Pass tonight shortly after 6 o'c'ock, two masked men ap peared on the station platform, armed with six-shooters. One of them got into the engine cab and covered the fireman and engineer while the other commanded the brakeman to cut Off the car next the engine and tender and as soon as this was done, the engineer was ordered to proceed. When they had gone three miles they stopped. The bandits carried a sack full of what ap peared to be . dynamite. This they placed beside the road bed when the engine stopped and them discovered that they had left the express car be hind. The bandits Indulged in con siderable strong language and then, mounting horses, rode to the south. The engine and car returned to lbs rest of the train. Many of the passeu gers had crawled under the seats. SAN FRANCISCO RACERS. Twenty-five Thousand Dollars by -the Sex of a Foal. San Francisco, Feb. 25. Six fur longs, maidens, Rey Alta won In 1:18.
