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,

Patterson of Marion,

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

Salem, Or., Jan. 14. 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.

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.

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.
