A Benson Caucus.
Salem, Or., Jan. 21. As the result of
protracted caucus of Benton) men,
held last night, it was decided to make
an attempt to capture the organisation
of tbe house today at 2, p. m.
Opinions received yesterday by Sena
tor Mitchell from benators Uoar of
Massachusetts, and Thurston of Ne
braska, to the effect that the bouse could
be legally organized with 31 member,
to a great esteut influenced the Benson
men lu their determination to mako the
effort.
Tbe Benson men number only 29, and
are therefore not certain tbat tbe neces
sary 31 members will be present st 2
'clock today to make tbe attempt, but
they think it likely tbat a majority will
oe present. The intention is to attempt
to reconsider the action by which Davis
wis msde temporary speaker, and if this
s ruled out of otder to go ahead and
place another speaker by Davia' aide and
sot up a rump organization.
Tbe Benson men claim tbat iu accom-
ilishing their purpose no force will be
uced, but tbey neglect to explain how
trouble can be averted in ca&e Davia and
his supporters resist, as they are almost
certain to do.
Senator Mitchell's telegram of inquiry
to Sfualor Hoar, as to the authority of a
majority to organize the house was as
follows:
'Salem, Or., Jsn. l'J. Uon. O. F.
Hoar, Chairman Judiciary Committee,
United States Senate, Washington, D.
C. : The constitution of tbe State of Or
egon provides as follows:
'First, that the senate ..'shall consist
of oJ, aud the house of representatives
of 00 members. Second, two-thirds of
each bouse shall constitute a quorum to
do business, but a smaller number may
meet, adjourn from day to day, and com
pel the attendance of absent members
"Can tbe bouse organize permaseutly,
a majority only being present, and can
such house elect a senator and lawfully
do other legislative business, provided
two-thirds of such majority are present t
Thirty-one republicans, and four demo
crats (being all of the democrats in the
houee), 35 iu all, are now present in tbe
bouse, ready to organize : while 19 pop
ulibts, beiug all of the populist members
of the house, and six republicans, refuse
to come in and be sworn. While we be
lieve the house bss a perfect right to
permanently organise, provided 31 or
more members are present, and that
two-thirds of such number will cons t
lute a quorum to enable the house not
only to eiect a senator, hut transact any
aud all legislative business, in order to
avoid any possible faction, the maj irity
has been patiently waitin, in ' the hope
of securing the presence of two-thirds of
all uf tbe members elected to tbe house
befoie organizing. Any suggestion or
sdvice you are willing to give for use
here will be gratefully appreciate'!.
Jou.v 11. Mitcukll "
Senator Hoar answered as follows:
WAhiiiMiToif, D. C, Jan. 19. Hon.
John II. Mitchell, Salem Or. t "I think
two-thirds of the number actually quail-
tied make a good constitutional quorum.
Ifouly35 qualify, they may organize
and lawfully do business. The same
question and principle was settled in the
national house uud senats iu the time ol
the rebellion. Gkokuc F. Hoaii."
The dispatch received by Senator
Mitcholl from Senator Iburston was as
lotions;
"Washinotoit, Jan. 20. Uor,. John
11. Mitchell, Balem, Or.: 8trongIy ad
fiat lbs organisation of tbe doom with
the fcsmbers raady. Elect a spesker.
Notify ths regale od govornor of the
organisation. Jointly with tbo senste
agree on a time of voting for senator. If
tbe bolting mem bora hang out, appoint a
eomasltteo to Investigato, report a reason
for fbeir acooo, and declare tbnir seats
vseanr. There Is bo doo'tt aboot tbe
Ugality of each a course, and I believe
each aetion would bring absentees L
quickly. Joniv M. Thdsstok."
The Horning Session.
Salem, Jan. 2l TWe waa aa air of
expectancy around the house this morn
ing when that body met. It was
thought by some that the Benson men
might try to force organization Ibis fore
noon instead of waiting at. til 2 p. m., as
aonounceJ. This expectation was, how
ever, not realized, and after a V min-
otea' session tbe house took a recess till
tbe fateful hour of 2.
When the house convened, 29 mem
bers answered to their names. After
the roll call Crawford of Douglas made a
statement. He said :
"We have waited here about. 10 days
for tbe members to come in and organ
ise tb is house, and we have been nnder
the impression tbat the majority can or
ganize. After waiting for tbe others to
see the error of their way and come in,
we have sent for tbe advice of Hon. G.
F. Coar, who la considered tbe best au
thority in the United States on constitu
tional law.
Crawford then read a dispatch from
Senator Uoar which is printed else
where. In commenting on tbe dis
patch Crawford said :
"It seems that both sides of this con
troversy have had tbe same advice, and
it seems to me tbat both sides should
come in and organize this house. I give
notice that we propose to meet in this
bouse at 2 o'clock this afternoon and or
ganize, and we take this opportunity of
notifying all members that tbey may
hare ample time to come in, and if tbey
do not, the responsibility will rest on
tbem. If tbey do not come in we pro
pose to organize and go ahead with tbe
business of this house."
At tbe conclusion of his remarks
Crawford moved an adjournment till
afternoon.' Tbe motion was adopted.
5UOAR
- BEET r. WEST OF
CASCADES.
THE
Mr. Ezra Meeker of Puyallup, Wash.,
recently stated in an interview tbat it
was his opinion that sugar beets cannot
be successfully grown for sugar purposes
west of the Cascades. His opinion was
bistd upon the supposition that a second
growth would set in early in tbe fall,
thereby injuring the beets. It is an
assured fact, demonstrated by many ex
periments, that such a second growth
would certainly lower the sugar content
of tbe beets, but it is not by any means
so sure that this second growth will be
gin early enough in the season to ma
terially injure the beets. In fact there
la positive evidence both in Oregon and
Washington to prove the contrary.
While it is my opinion that tl e Willam
ette valley is not as well adapted to tbe
manufacture of sugar as either Southern
or Eastern Oregon, yet I have exam
ined beets from various parts of tbe
Willamette valley which show as follows :
Line county 16 per cent sugar, 80 pe
cent purity; Washington county, 11.40
86.83 per cent purity ; Douglas county,
19.60 per cent sugar, 84.32 per cent puri
ty. Tbese beets were pulled between
the middle of October and the first of
November, and in each case they would
be considered excellent beets by the
msnufacturer. During tbe season just
passed I received some beets from
Washington county tbat represent more
nearly what may be expected from eu-
ar beets when crown under the best
conditions. Tbese beets were grown by
Mr. R. Kubne, who for three years was
an expert grower for tbe Oxnard factory
iu Nebraska, and for many years previ
ous to tbat was a grower for sugar pur-
nifeain German v. These beets snal-
) zed s follows: 17 per cent sugar in
the juice, 91.4 per cent purity ; 16.0 per
cent sunar. 89.2 per cent purity: w.b
percent sugar, 88.0 per cent purity
Tbese beets bad already received the
first rains. After the second rains tbe
same beets were sampieu again auu
while giving uniformly lower results yet
iu each instance was the sugar content
ahovM 12 per cent, and tbe purity 80 or
over.
The Washington showing is equally
rood, ranging from 10 to 13 per cent
sugar, and the purity between 93 and 9;
per cent.
I am confident tbat success wouia at
tend tbe manufacture of sugar in tbe
Northwest even west of tbe Cascades
provided tbe enterprise has sufficient
capital back of it, and Is well mansged

THE SECRETARY EXPLAINS.
Mr. Otney Advises the Committee
on Arbitration Treaty.
Washmotox, fao. 20. Tbe seoate
eo-rfi!t!ee on foreign relations today
bad aoder consideration the general ar
bitral ion convention between tbe United
fitsiee and Great B-iUio. Secretary ON
ney explained to tbe eomanittee the pro
vliions ol tbe treaty.
Secretary Olney remained wilh tbe
commltte until it adjourned. There
was a general discus-Jon of tbe provis
ions of tbs treaty, nearly every member
questioning hs probable effecr. Noth
ing was brought out shoeing any defi
nite plan of the committee, thongb ques
tions put to the eecrct.ry indicated there
would be opposition to many provisions
of the treaty.
Secretary Olney supported his assert- -ion
that the treaty was in no cense in
derogation or subservation of tbe Mon
roe doctrine, pointing out that article 7
expressly provided that if in the course
of tbe arbitratioo of a claim it waa
foond a decision involved a disputed
question or principle of grsve general
importance affecting the national rights
of such party, aa distinguished from the
private rights of which it was a repre
sentative, tbe jurisdiction of the simple
arbitration, composed of two arbitrators
and an umpire, shall cease, and that It
shall be dealt with the more complex
arbitration ret down for settlement of
territorial claims and composed of
judges of tbe United 8'ates and British
supreme courts. ' .
Tbe secretary pointed out tbat in this
case a auetion arislmr nmtar fha Man.
roe doctrine would certainly ' be re
garded as excepted from tbe scope of the
scope of the simple original arbitration.
Then, if it should come befote the sec
ond tribunal, an adverse decision
against the United' States, and conse
quently against the doctrine, could be
bad only in tbe case of five of tbe six
arbitrators so decide, an entirely im
probable contingency, in view" of tbe
fact tbat this would involve casting two
of the votes of the United States repre
sentatives against their own country.
Tbeo, to quiet apprehension tbat the
United States might suffer from the se
lection ss an umpire ol King Oscar, who
would naturally sympathize with the
European side, tbe secretary pointed out
that, after all, the only harm that could
result to tbe United States would be a
sj wests utjsiBvisH -wra7 uey miUK Im J
name the umpire only in cases Involv
ing the pecuniary claims and other mat
ters not involving any important prin
ciple, and in such cases either power
coold insist upon a substitute for King
Orcar in any particular ca?e.
Olney declared the treaty bad been
negotiated with great care for the pro
tection of Americiu interests and ex
pressed the opinion tbat if ratified it
would be found a satisfactory safeguard.
He contended for its approval aa an ad
vance in diplomacy in accordance with
tbe tendeucy of the times.
Olney was made to understand tbat
the committee wanted Iho fullest possi
ble information, aud, having this, would
be disposed to act upon tbe treaty ' on
its merits.
Tbe third topic discuwed by Mr. ON
ney and members of the commission
was the possible effect of tbe treaty on
tbe Nicaragua canal. Mr. Olney ad
mitted that any dispute over tbe canal
would bo subject to arbitrament under
tbe terms of the agreement, but he con
tended that the advantages ' secured
were more thau sufficient to counteract
this defect.
Again referring to the designation of
of King Oscar as umpire, Mr. Oluey
said he was in cowise wedded to tbe'ee-
lection, but that it had appeared better
to provide an umpire than to leave tbe
work of agreement on disputed points to
the arbitrators, and tbat the Swedish
sovereign had ibeen accepted as a feiilr
disposed man. -
The committee expressed a determin
ation, after Mr. Olney left, to take up
the subject at its next meeting, with a
view to disposing of it at as early a date
as 'possible. It is considered probable
that final action can be reached at one-
more sitting, but the members ol the
committee assert that there is now ro
disposition to postpone the report until
the next session of congress, aa for,
time seemed to be the case.
It is generally agreed that tbe docu
ment will be amended in some particu
lars, aud this will necessitate more or
le.-s delay. While Mr. Oluey was before
the committee he was ssked whether
the Venezuela commission had aver
made a report to the state department,
and replied that it had not.
