Ml ltnhLb Chance ol Election Nat Increeri Thonhv. mill llnntiMtlnn nv lni- phatlcally That lie is lleaten. alem, Jan. 14. Forty-three Eepnb n9 and one Populist held a caucus at state capitol tonight and unanimous- nominated John H. Mitchell for ited States senator. Tho Populist Nosier. It was a cold and disap- inting affair. When it was discov- d that only a minority of the mem- rs were present, there was considera- e objection to action of any sort on the t of eeveral who had been led to sign e caucus call on the promise that ore than a majority would be present. ith some difficulty the protestants re silenced by the reading of a letter m Senator Carter, in which he said would abide by the decision of the ucus, and by a statement from Sena- ir Patterson of Marion, that his col- ague, Senator Gesner, would vote for e nominee. In this manner 46 votes ere made up, consisting of 44 actual Hots, a letter and a promise. The reed method of making up a majority is not encouraging to the Mitchellites, d they rushed through business in a at hurry. No nominating speeches ere made, the candidate was not called fore the caucus before or after the .Hot, no committee was appointed to otify him of his nomination, and no ledges nor promises of any kind were ade in his behalf. The caucus was called to order at 7:30 clock by Brown of Morrow. Senator ugbes was made chairman, and the ill-call showed that the following were resent : Johnson, Lake. Langell, Marsh, JlcClung, Morrill, Mitchell, Nosier, Palm, Patterson of Marion, Price, Reed, Riisby, Smith of Marion Somers, Stanlev, Taylor", Thomas, Thompson, Vaughn, c Veness, Wagner. There were 15 senators and 39 repre- ntatives. A motion was speedilv de to make the action of the cau- 8 binding. Conn objected, saving would not be bound by a minor caucus, but that he was willing to ter into a compact with 45 others bo would keep faith, and select a can- ate for United States senator. The Mterence from Conn's remarks is that mt would consider himself released from ledge when any one of the 46 abandons e caucus nominee. Similar statements , -.1 V T ..

When the bouse mi i l-iffM n iiaJii tit tirtittr una ninrn i n nd it "a discovered that uo quorum was present. U'Ren of Clackamas re- ueetea tne privilege of making a state ment. There were at first objections, but the house finally subsided and U'Ren began. It proved to be a deliberate announce ment of the position of the Populists to the effect that if an effort was made to use force to capture the house it would be met by force, and he warned the members not to undertake it. "We want no trouble," said U'Ren. I "We are not here to invite it. We are all law-abiding citizens and friends and neighbors. This house is made up of three minorities, either two of which is' able to organize it. Whenever two minorities get together we will join them. But we want no 'Kansas epi sode.' If one minority proposes to in augurate force there are, excepting my self, men on this side who can fight. "There has been some talk of firearms, too; and I want to say that Americans of all parties have been known to be handy with weapons. And," continued UJRen laughingly, "if it comes to the question of running, we are not very slow over here either." TJ'Ren's words were so quietly and smilingly delivered that they did not make the impression they perhaps merit ed. He then went-on to sum up the sit uation, and said the Populists were will ing to go before the people on the record they were making. "If you Republicans want to settle the question, let 21 of you resign and break the quorum," he said: "No, you don't," interrupted Conn. U'Ren continued for a few minutes in the same vein. Vaugh of Lane then moved that the house adjourn, lor two weeks, so that the members could go home and explain to their constituents what they have been doing. His motion was declared out of order. At noon the house adjourned till 2 p. m. Indications are that there will be no organization today. The Day In the Seuatn. Salem, Or., Jan. 14. At this morn ing's session of the senate 23 bills were introduced, but none of them were of a very important nature, Harmon intro duced a resolution deploring the unor ganized condition of the bouse as a men ace to good law and order, and that it was the desire of the senate that speedy organization be effected. The senate then adjourned till 2:30 p. m. Monday. Tomboy Gold Mine Hold. New Yohk, Jan. 14. The World says : An important deal has been arranged in this city by which the Tomboy gold mine, of San Miguel county, Colo., passes into the bands of the Exploration Company. This company is more widely known as tho Rothschild syndicate, whose investment of $25,000,000 in the Anaconda copper mine a year ago set the financial world talking. The Tomboy is recognized as one of the richest mines in the United States, It waa first opened by Ernest Walters six years ago, as passed through n com pany made up of Governor Adams, of Colorado; his brother Frank, and Win. Bailey, F. II. Posey, and S. I. Under wood. These gentlemen transferred their interest to the Rothschild syndi cate yesterday for $1, 000,000. The Tomboy has already paid $67, 000, and its new owners will put in an extensive plant for the development of the property. QUKSTION TO IIB KKOI'ENED.

Hotifte Committee Will Acntn Try to Ef fect a Settlemeut. Washington, Jan. 14. Tho house committee on Pacific railroads decided today to reopen the settlement with the roads. A subcommittee was appointed to consider the presentation of a sub stitute for the defeated Powers hill, on the line of Mr. Harrison's plan for a commission to be appointed by the president to represent the government and make a settlement. There will bo a hearing on the question next Wednes day. Canal BUI Gets Hight of Way. Washington, Jan. 14. The senate steering committee yesterday decided to give the Nicaragua canal bill the right of way in the upper house. This puts the measure in line immediately after the free-homestead bill, which is to be voted on tomorrow, excepting of course, when appropriation measures intervene. The latter contingency will probably prevent action on the canal measure be fore next week. Shoe Manufacturer! Assign. Detroit, Jan. 14. S. H. Robinson & Co., boot and shoe manufacturers, filed three chattel mortgages today securing creditors for liabilities aggregating $133,- S65. General depression is said to be responsible for the trouble. The assets are about $100,000. A Schilling & Company saa rrt 400 Boloff lia Filibuster. New York, Jan. 14. General Carlos BolotT's arrest last night by the United States authorities, it was ascertained today, was for an alleged breach of the neutrality act in connection with a laro filibutstering expedition on the steamer Woodall, which is said to have left an American port for Cuba June 28, 1895. Warrants have been issued for the arrest of other Cuban agents in this country, for aiding and abetting the same expedition. They wer,e sworn out by the. Spanish councel. BololT, who is the so called Cuban re public's secretary of war, after being locked up in the Ludlow-Btreet jail, was not allowed to communicate with friends. He has been sick for some time, and the medicine sent him was delivered by the jail authorities In company with Dr. Joseph J. Luis, another alleged filibuster, Boloff was ar ranged before United States Commis sioner Sbeilds today. The prisoners were held in $2500 bail for examination on Saturday, They will file tho nec essarv bonds. Would Abolish Custom-Houses. Washington, Jan. 14. Mr. Charlton, delegate from the liberal goverment of Canada, who is coming to Washington to talk abont the tariff with the commit tee on way and means, is expected very shortly. The Canadian government wants to negotiate with the United States the broadest kind of a reciprocity treaty, one that will practically wipe out the custom-house along the border, but the proposition does not meet with ap proval in the British foreign office of the secretary of state for the colonies. Sir Julian Pauncefoto cannot contem plate with the committee of congress ex cept through the secretary of state, but from present appearances it 1b the inten tion of the Canadians to trample on all precedents and go straight to the foun tainbead, the committee on ways and means.
