THE HOUSE ORGANIZED.
Senator Hoar's Opinion FolloweilIten
Hon lit Speaker.
A dispatch received this afternoon
from Salem Btates the house has organ
ized on the lines suggested by Senators
Hoar and Thurston, with a majority of
the members. Thirty-two answered to
their names. Benson was elected
speaker, and the house declared organ
ized. .
Tho Opinions.
The organization of the legislature iB
taking on a new phase. We print here
with two opinions on the situation, one
by Senator Hoar, and the other by
Senator Thurston. They are as follows :
"If the Oregon constitution provides
that the house of representatives shall
consist of sixty members, or provides
for a less number, and that the legisla
ture may increase the number to sixty,
which has been done, and further pro
vides that two-thirds of each bouse
shall constitute a quorum to do busi
ness, my opinion is that two-thirds of
the lawfully qualified members of each
house may constitute such a quorum,
although a less number than sixty have
qualified, and a less number than forty
are preeent and act. Therefore, if thirty
five persons are all qualified members of
the house, and twenty-five others law
fully elected refuse to qualify, the action
of the majority of thirty-five in organ
izing or electing a senator or other legis
lative business will bo constitutionally
vaiid, at least twenty-four being preeent.
Two-thirds of thirty-five, being all law
fully qualified members, will then make
a quorum. This doctrine was settled in
the national senate and house during the
rebellion, and has been acted upon in
those bodies ever' since. I have given
opinion to Senator Mitchell.
"Geouoe F. Hoak."
"Washington, Jan. 20. Hon. J. H.
Mitchell, Salem, Or.: Strongly advise
the organization of tho house with the
members ready. Elect a speaker. Notify
the senate and governor of tho organi
zation. Jointly with the senate agree
on a time of voting for senator. If the
bolting members hang out, appoint a
committee to investigate, report a
reason for their action, and declare
their seats vacant. There is no doubt
about the legality of such a course, and
I believe such action would( bring ab
sentees in quickly.

Foreign Market.
Broomhall, reviewing .the situation,
says:
"The stimulus administered to ship
ments by the advance in October and
the early halt of November seems to
have spent itself. Judging from former
experience, it is probable that the reac
tion will be somewhat severe, and there
fore look to see a marked decrease in the
quantity on the way, which decrease
will not only be rapid at the commence
ment, but long continued ; for as soon as
the fleet of Euxiue steamers has finished
arriving, the Pacific coast sales will
Is, unquestionably, the most success
ful and perfect working spraying uevtco
yet invented.
It is a unsversal testimony that more,
as well as better, work can be accom
plished with the Bean Spray l'nuip than
with any other pump on the market.
With this pump one man can charge
the receptable and leave it to direct the
spray just where it is wanted, and thus
with" sufficient hose pass from treo to
tree. Tho solution is delivered in a fine
mist or spray, penetrating every nook
and cornor, thus doing butter and more
effective work than is possible by any
other method, and with no wasto what
e.er of solution.

commence to tumble in at' n much
greater rate than they are likely to be
added to at the other end ; and it ECems
likely that the quantity on passage will
steadily decreaso during the second half
of the cereal year, and that during tho
spring it will be at a very low ebb. In
deed shall be surprised if the quantity
on passage to the U. K. does not sink to
a lower level than has been recorded for
many years, lower even than in Atmust
lastwhen it fell below 1,500,000 quar
ters. As a rule, a second stimulus to
shipments is not so eaBily given, should
a Becond rise in prices occur, sellers will
probably be found less complacent than
they were last September or October, as
then they were very despondent, having
a lively recollection of many months of
disappointing trade. The uext buying
spurt, if it come again before next har
vest, we find a different class of sellers
to deal witn. Instead of needy and de
spondent growers, buyers will in a large
degree have to reckon with wealthy
merchants, who have taken the stun" out
of the farmers' hands, and now hold it
in South Ruesian ports and American
elevatois, expecting to make a profit on
the transaction. Of course, if Argentina
should commence to ship heavily in
February, and India follow three months
later, the whole situation would bo al
tered, but so far there secnm to be no
likelihood of this alternative taking
place. The reports from tho River I'lattu
are very bad; cables received in Liver
pool describe the outlook as gloomy from
the shipper's point of view. Tropical
rain has ruined tho crop in many dis
tricts where the locust had spared it,
and the very best authonties are now
agreed that the surplus likely to bo
shipped to Europe will not exceed 2,
000,000 quarterB. India is a vast coun
try, and it has frequently surprised
those who imagined themselves to be
most familiar with the actual conditions.
The price of wheat there is already more
than 100 per cent over its customary
level, and beforo another harvest can be
gathered stocks will probably have en
tirely disappeared ; and it ia difficult to
believe that the export movement, un
der the60 circumstances, could re-commence
at once, even should the next
harvest be a moderately abundant one.
France The agricultural situation,
generally, is considered satisfactory ;
heavy falla of snow have taken place in
the East, Northeast and center, and the
crops have got their winter covering be
fore the hard frosts occur. The Western
and Northwestern regions are still un
covered, but this may be remedied any
day now.
Germany Tho weather remains sea
sonable, aud reports concerning tho
crops are favorable,
India Latest reports from India state
that heavy ruin has fallen in tho Oudh
district, and ploughing operations are
progressing actively ; more rain is ex
pected. Rain haB also fallen over East
ern portions of Northwest provinces and
parts of Behar aud central provinces.
General and severe distress it ia expected
will continue until July or August next.

cabled us on .Saturday that tho weather

tho wheat will be inferior to last year.
Reports aro conflicting, for whereas tho
Times of Argentina estimates that 700,

Hiienos Ayres and Santa Fe, several
other well-known authorities estimate
that only 400-000 tons will bo available
less than last year.
