Mitchell's Address to the Senate.
Washington, March 30. The debate
started yesterday, on the questien of the
right to seats in the senate of the persons
appointed by the governors of Montana,
Washington and Wyoming, was resumed
this morning. Mitchell of Oregon made
a legal and constitutional argument
against the report of the committee on
privileges and elections, which declares
them entitled to seats. Among the dis
astrous consequences that would follow
the adoption of the majority report, Mr.
Mitchell mentioned these : It would
unreasonably augment and extend the
prerogatives of the state executive over
those of the legislature, and subordinate
the constitutional functions of the legis
lature to those of the executive. It
would place a premium on treason to
party organization and party discipline.
It would encourage tb.6 factions and
minority in the legislature in filibuster
ing efforts to defeat the election of sen
ators, and it would tend to prevent a
air expression of all the majority of the
gislature. In conclusion he expressed
he conviction that the majority of the
senate would vote for the admission .of
the three senators, but such vote would
be one to overturn deliberately a pre
cedent established by the senate, after
full consideration, over 63 years ago. It
would establish a precedent that would
result, inside of 10 years, in having one
third of the senators men who owed
their seats to executive appointment,
and it would inflict a fatal stab to the
great principle of republican govern
ment. Mr. Mitchell spoke for three
hours.
The matter then went . over, Turpie
having the floor when the subject next
comes up. After an executive session
the senate adjourned till Monday.

OUTLOOK AT THE, LOCKS.
Work Will Be Commenced Monday at
a New Quarry.
It is reported tiiat work will actively
commence at the locks on Monday and
be prosecuted to a termination.
One of the Day brothers has just - ar
rived at the Cascade Locks from Van
couver, having consummated a deal last
Wednesday for the Monoghan quarry,
which is six miles above the cascades on
the Washington side of the river. The
remaining rock from the upper quarry,
which was in operation last t season, will
first be used. The stone from the Mon
oghan quarry is pronounced to be first
class. It is . now. so late that but little
work will be done in the canal until Au
gust, when the river is at low water
again. In the meantime the necessary
rock will all be quarried and hauled to
the vicinity of where it will be needed.
Yesterday the two locomotives were
steamed up and were put to work haul
ing and placing materials about the
yards, and the sheds are now being
cleaned up and put in readiness for use.
The outlook at present is promising that
work will be prosecuted with vigor.
Bunco Men at Work.
During the past few days the union
depot has been infested with confidence
men, as many as eight of them being
seen around at one time. One of these
"I-knew-your-uncle down the valley"
men forced his acquaintance upon a
well-dressed traveler yesterday morning,
and while telling him a funny story, re
lieved him of hist little roll, amounting
to 426. Th is is the first 8 uccessf ul opera
tion that has come to the notice of the
depot officials for some time. The offi
cials can 'spot" a confidence man every
time, and they never use much ceremony
in driving the 6lippery fellows from their
stamping-ground. Yesterday morning
four of them had been under surveillance
for some time, ' but were lost track of
only for a few moments, when they suc
ceeded in "doing up" their victip,-Ore'

Guilty as Charged.
The argument in the trial for man
slaughter of Mrs. Dr. Tom Vaun, was
finished at 10 o'clock yesterday, and
Judge Munly's charge consumed 15
minutes. ' At 11:45 the jury returned a
verdict of guilty as charged in the in
dictment, and recommended the accused
woman to the court's mercy. She ac
cepted the verdict stolidly. Mr. McGinn
notified the court that he had secured
some new evidence which he desired to
present, and he was granted ten days in
which to file a motion for a new trial.

Lieut. Taylor Guiltless.
A few days since Tbi Chronicle pub
lished the report that Lieut. Taylor was
obstructing the work' at the locks. The
following letter, which we cheerfully
publish, shows the report to be an error.
Our source of information at the time
seemed to be unquestionable, as will
sometimes happen in the best regulated
of newspapers:
Cascade Locks, March 30th, 1893.
Ed. Chronicle : My attention was
called to an article in your issue of 25th
inst. stating that our relations with the
officer in charge at the locks were not
harmonious. : On this point you were
misinformed, and we will esteem . it a
favor if, in your next issue, you will
state, that in no case have we been de
nied the use of any portion of the gov
ernment plant granted to us by the
terms of our contract. Every oppor
tunity to advance the work has been af
forded us. And in our opinion Lieut.
Taylor worthily fills - the- responsible
position to which he has been assigned,
and is entitled to, and should receive
fair treatment from the press of Oregon
within that portion tberof to be bene
fited by the completion of the Cascade
Locks. Yours Truly,
J. G. Day.
