No nominations were made In the
senate, the simple announcement of
President Brownell that a ballot for
United States senator would be taken
and Instructions for the clerk to call
the roll, serving the purpose.
In the house Davey of Marlon placed
Geer In nomination with a lengthy
speech. In contrast to. this was the
nomination of Fulton by Phelps of
Morrow and Umatilla counties. His
remarks were brief and to the point,
the gist of which was contained la the
simple statement:
"I wish to nominate a man who Is
broad enough and large enough to
represent the whole of the state of
Oregon."

In 1MB passed the house today with on
ly five dissenting votes, Bllyeu, Gault,
Olwell, Huntley and raulson voting
aghlnst It. It Is expected the senate
will pass the bill tomorrow.
The senatorial situation tonight
shoe's no material change. It Is quite
certal.i that in a joint ballot tomorrow
the two Claekanii representatives,
Huntley and Webster, will change from
G.ter to Fulton, but this makes no
change In the real situation. The
ballot tomorrow will therefore show
Fulton with 10 votes mi I deer 18. There
Is still talk of 17 ilcinoi nits going to

ed of an aulhuralive iialui. The
Multnomah delegates will continue to
scatter among Multnomah county men

MIXUP SOMEWHAT ADJUSTED
Lieutenant Governor's Farcial
Bcnute In Being Itanldly De
serted and Democratic
Majority Ittilcs,
Denver, Colo., Jan. 20. -Both bous
e of the general asembty balloted for
United States senator at won today
and Henry M. Teller received 60 votes,
only one less than is neoded to elect.
Senator Mcfiulre (dem.) refrained from
voting but subsequently said be would
vote for Teller If It should appear that
he could be elected.
Soon afterwards the nine regular re'
publican senators, the two who were ex
pelled by the democratic majority and
eight contestant who had been sworn
in on the steps of the capitot last night
assembled in the lieutenant-governor's
room and formed a separate organlza
tlon. The ballot was then taken for
senator. Subsequently two of the ieg.
ularly elected republican senators
Drake and Cornforth, left the Haggott
senate and returned to the senate cham
ber where they announced that they
would act with the "reguhr senate,'
and would no longer participate In i
farce.
Under the constitution Lieutenant
Governor Haygott is pressing the offiC'
ers of a joint session which is to meet
at noon tomorrow to vote for senator
The speaker of the house will lie cal
led upon to decide which senate shall
be recognized as regular. If the demo
cratic senate is recognised and the
house remains with its present mem
bership, as seeins likely, Senator Ttller
may be re-elected. On the contrary
it the republican senate is recognized
there Is likely to be no election and bal
lotlng will continue Indefinitely.
The republican leaders In the house
refused today to carry out the Wolcott
program and unseat eleven Arapahoe
county democrats.
The senate remains in continuous
session but will not remove more re
publicans pending further aggression
by the house.
NO NEED FOR BAYONETS.
Governor of Colorado Declines to Call
Out Militia.
Denver, Jan. 10. Governor Peabody
today said:
"I do not contemplate calling out the
militia. There Is no ccasion for bay'
oncts."
DIFFERENT HAD
CHAMBERLAIN .BEEN
RELIED UPON
German-English Alliance Getting More
Distasteful and Condition of
Things Generally Much'
Deplored.
New York, Jan. 20. The comment Is
sometimes made that the British gov
ernment would not have surrendered in
dependence of action in the Venexuelan
affair if Mr. Chamberlain had been
fully consulted, says a Tribune's Lon
don dispatch.
A most credible explanation of the
Anglo-German coalition Is that It was
a substitute for the details of the sec
ret partnership In East Africa, which
the ministers were not prepared to re
veal. It seemed a safe undertaking,
for the Washington government had
not objected to the collection of the
German debts under carefully defned
restrictions and- could not reasonably
discriminate against England. No
body outside the foreign office suppos
es that the Washington government
considered England's agreement to as
1st in collecting Germany's claims
against Venexuela a friendly act or
that the continuance -if wanton acts of
provocation by the German fleet, like
the attack upon San Carlos fortifica
tions, Is consistent with British tradl
tlons of pacific diplomacy.
It Is considered highly probable here
that the German attack upon the fort
ress of San Carlos will not only prolong
the Venesuelan situation, but make It
more acute. The Dully Chronicle say
that whatever the real facts ot the In
cident may be, there ran be no doubt
that the success of the negotiations are
seriously Imperilled .
