W. Davli.
(Spwlal to The Aatorlan.)
KALE.M. Feb. 20. After a spl-ndidly
organized tight and by a strong ap':ech
dellvwed from the floor. President
Fulton succeeded In Incorporating the
Hahn amendnunt Into the Hume sub
stitute lUh bill at the affrnoon es
Klon of the senate, with th" provision
that the section as to wheels and traps
shall not be effective- until after the
vloi' of the fifhlng season of 1501.
The scheme of the ..ppo-ients of the
am. ndii.ents as deve!n-d by their tac
tics waa to avoid a direct vote on the
amcinfment and have th-.- bill and all
pio'pitswl Hinendmeiits referr-d to the
ji.nale by the flfh CMtnmau-, where It
was evidently beliewd by them the
bill could be hell until too late for its
return to the houe. The game did not
work, however. It Is true the bill waa
finally p'firtvd. but It was not ur.tli the
senate had agreed to the amendments
and had also annex'-d the condition to
the rcfen nee that the bill should be re
Mrifd back to the senate some time
tomorrow.
This Joes not i'l.ply ly any means
that the amended bill will become a
law. but it recovers nearly all the ad
vantage lost by the wheel knockers
through Colvig's tactics in the house
yestirduy. It shows also that A ma
jority of the senate as in the house
(avors the abolishment of the wheels
and that that measure will undoubted
ly pass, both branches of the legisla
ture, provided it chn be placed before
them on " Its merits. This, of course,
is the -xact thing the whtel.V advo
cates Jo not favor and will make ej
try effort to avoid.
Fulton will doubtless see the com
ml t tee gives up thv bill tomorrow- and
he will lik. ly succcf-d in retaining the
amendments in the bill, but what
change may come over the views of
"me of those who stood for the
amendments today before" It is put on
its final passagv Is a matter which to
morrow will disclose.
Another element of uncertainty Is the
question whether the amended bill can
be returned within the time required
by the rules and whither, If so re
turned, an opportunity will occur for a
vote of concurrence.
The next most important action of
either house today was the defeat of the
compulsory pilot, bill, which went down
in th; bouse by a vote of 43 to 13.
McCraken, of Multnomah, led the fight
against the bill and made a brilliant
speech, Eddy also made a masterly ar
gument opposing the principle involved
in the kind of legislation proposed by
the bill.
The special committee appointed to
examine the boiks of the state land
olllce has reported that defalcation of
$30,000 was discovered in the depart
mert. th.1 shortage having occurred in
ISM and when Geo. W. Davis handled
th? school funds. It appears that the
records were falsified by credit being
taken for payments to the state treas
urer greater in amount than were ac
tually made. In some cases this was
accomplished by taking credit twlc
for one payment while in other cases
the first entries were changed so as
to Increase th amounts.
The first changes appear under date
of August 1. 1S94. and the last on Jan
uary 12. 1S93. An inspection of the
hooks shows that the alterations were
very crude, the erasures being rough
and u suae oases a different shade of
ink being used. Davis went out of
office July 1, lSr. His official bond was
only $j000, with Geo. G. Ringham and
E. P. McCormack, as surety. Davis is
well known in Salem and stands high
In social, fraternal and political cir
cles. What the next step in the pro
ceedings will be Is not now know n.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20. The hotiso
finally pissed the sundry civil appro
bation bill today and entered upon
consld- ration of the general deficiency
bill, the last of the general appro
priation bills.
Lentz, of Ohio, a Democrat who In
thia ond the previous congress at
tacked the administration, furnished
the sensation of the day. He used a,
newvpap-r paragraph recounting tha
death of a federal Judge in New Mexico
who had been a member of the legis
lature which electd Senator Hanna, aa
the text for charging corruption In
tnut election. This called for a rebuke
fiom Cannon, who declared that brava
ner fought the living and only ghouls
ravished the tomba of the dead.
Later IenU made a aecond onslaught
of a more sensational character and
brought down upon himself the whole
Republican side of the house In some
remarks about paragraphs In the bill
for paymeot for the apprehension of
deserters. Lentz made the startling
charge that soldiers In the Phillpplnea
had buried a native alive and he read
a letter writte.i. he said, by a soldier
In the Philippines, saying that he ana
his companions, while on an expedition,
were orJarvd to shoot every, man and
beast they found. Lent said If these
things were true the soldiers were Jus
tified in deserting.
Cannon; Mahon-of Pennsylvania;
Grosvener, of Ohio, and Moody, of
Ma!-acriutts, rebuked Lenta. Can no a
declared that were Lentz In the Philip- "
pines he would be tried by courtmar
tial and shot
