Owing to the delayed train, which prevented Commissioner Blowers from arriving here until after 1 o'clock, the bids for building the Hood River bridge were not opened until after 3 o'clock. President Cleveland vetoed the immi gration bill for two columns of reasons. Ono of the mauy being that the immi grants who cannot read are better for this country than thoBe who can. This ib the closing sentiment of an ill Bpeut official life. Eugene is giving Itself a minstrel show by local talent, and it just goes one bet ter than The Dallea by having the ladies of that little city taking the parts. It is an out-aud-out minstrel show, with ladies in all the roles, even to the clog and jig dancing. There will be a social given by the senior members of the Sunday school in the Congregational church this evening, to which you are moat cor dially invited. An interesting program has heon prepared, after which a dainty lunch will be daintily served by dainty girls. Wo note that stripe of bunting have teen stretched across the Vogt, ana that improves the accoustics somewhat. With a little atudv and exDerlmenttmr. it may be possible to remedy the defect in the hall in this line. We hope it way, for the stage and scenery are fine and the hall a credit to a city three umes the size of The Dalles, The sage hen was hatched last nlirhr. for which we, as well as those who were present, are no doubt thankful. The lecture was very interesting for us, hav ing been o for some time, but interest has ceased and our life-size lithographs will no longer compete with those of Nick Sinnott, Johnny Hampshire and the other leading minstrels. The Whealdon real eststte agency re ports the sale of ninety feet square on the southwest cornerof Fifth and Wash ington streets, to Him. E. 0. McCoy.

The box sheet will be open Friday morning at 9 o'clock at the Snipes-Kin- ersly drugstore for tha sale of tickets for The Dalles Commercial and Athletic Club (or words to that effect) minstrel show. Two extra policemen have been provided for the occasion of this show, one to keep the audience quiet, and the other to manage the actors. The new marriage law in Argentina provides that every male from the age of twenty to thirty shall pay a tax until he marries, and shall pay it once a month. There is also a provision to the effect that young unmarried person of either sex who ahall, without sufficient reason, reject the addresses of those who may aspire to their hands and who shall continue contumaciously unmarried shall pay 500 piasters for the benefit of the young person, male or female, who has been refused. Last night Nigbtwatchman Wiley ar rested as handsome a joblot of tramp as one could wish to see. They had se cured some alcohol, and wiien arrested were on the post-meridian Bide of a drunk of magnificent proportions. When arrested they were Jjust beyond the Wasco warehous, and had only a few minutOB before omploted a free for all battle. In consequence, they were bruised, scratched" and bloody. When pulled, it waa Wund they had razors,, razor straps, Brackets and dozens of other thingsf'used to trade, but which they had evidently swiped. It required the hiring of a dray to get them to the city jail. Cheap Enough. To convinco you that I do the finest work in the Northwest, I will, for four days, make you a free setting; tl. iU.

The "drastic measures" as adopted by what is left of the Oregon legislature yesterday to bring in the abeent mem bers to do business fell through this morning. The legislative operations were trans ferred to Portland by a resolution which was adopted in the temporary house at Salem yesterday to send setgcants-at-arins after the members. On last night's train from Salem were Sergeant-at-Arms Glen Holman with five assistants. They prowled about Portland with warrauts in their inside, pockets, looking for repre sentatives of the house. By midnight some of the assistants had found four of the gentlemen Bought after. They re sisted arrest and out of that meeting grew au assault case before Justice Mc Devitt. Following this, Judge Stephens was applied to tor a writ of habeas corpuB for the arrested men. This waa made re turnable before Judge Shattuck this morning at 10 o'clock. Ten o'clock came and found the court house in a hubbub of excitement. Judge Shattuck's courtroom was crowded, and a large and eager audience awaited the arrival of the four determinedly obstin ate legislators. They were: Represen tatives Jenninge, of Wallowa ; Hope, of Malheur county ; Conn, of Lake couuty, and Gurdane, of Umatilla couuty. But they did not come. Judge Shat tuck went on with the court's business expecting the attorneys, but not an at torney nor a client showed up. The in formation was brought that the writs had not been served. Of course, if a man is'not arrested, there is no such thing as habeas corpusing him, and so tho matter dropped. Sergeant-at-Arma Holman, when seen soon after at the Perkins hotel, said that tie waa only carrying out hlB instruc tions. He had merely informed some of the men that they were under arrest, and he intimated that was about all that he would do. "I am going back to Salem this after noon," he said, "and will make my re report, If the the members don't go, what tin I to do? They sent us out to get the absentees, and" Glen held up his finger significantly "you know that you cau take a horse to water, but you can't make him drink." Then Holman said he was not siding with the tactions, and went on to discuss how and why the house was not organized. Until the froat flies in Hades and the River Styx is good for skating the Ben Bon men today say they will not go back to Salem. An expression quite equiva lent to this is used by them in declaring their intentions. Representatives Jen nings and Conn said they would go back there when Governor Lord called a spe cial session. The situation is such that it is proba ble the entire legislative farce may be taken into the courts, now that it has begun. It was seriously expected that the writs of habeas corpus would come Bicyeles, Bieyele Sundries, pishing Taekle, Steel Hanges. Also a Scow-load of DRY FIR WOOD JUST RECEIVED AT MAIER& BENTON'S A CAR-LOAD OF up today. Even some of tho officers who arc carrying out the orders of the assem bly laugh with the arrested absentees and sav the have no more power to ar rest absentees and take them to Salem than tho president of a Slablown liter ary society has power to jail a recalci trant member for tardiness. Today members of the Multnomah delegation who have absented them selves from Salem, were visited by tho assistant sergeant-at-arms and mildly informed ot the act of the assembly yes terday. Deputy Cotton left last night for Astoria to arrc3t Representative Gratke, and on his return homo will stop at Clatskanie and take Representa tive Norman Merrill in tow. Others of the deputy sergeant-at-arms will today go to Washington county and EaBtern Oregon for the purpose of serv ing notice on the members who have gone away. What tho result will be time will tell. The manner of making tho arrests was in keeping with the farce that haB been on the boards at Salem far beyond con stitutional limit, as well as the limit of human patience. "How-do-you-do?" said a sergeant-at arms, approaching Mr. Conn. "I am well, thanks." "Say, step over here; I've a little pri vate matter to discuss with you." "Certainly." "I have a warrant here, old man," carelessly and reluctantiy drawing it forth. "Would you like to see it?" "No, not particularly." "Well, now, I'll tell you. You are supposed to be under arrest. Now the others are going back, and want you to go, too." It waa like a skit from a farce-comedy where the policeman saya to the culprit : "Please let me arrest you. I hope to die if I ain't a policeman." The outlook is that the entire matter of legislation must be held in aljeyance until the courts determine whether it is or is not their business to interfere in the legislative muddle. The expecta tion is that, if a test case bo brought at Salem or in Multnomah county, it would be heard immediately in the cir cult court and an appeal taken to tho supreme court. Chief Justice Mooro would cause it to be advanced on tho docket. If all expedition be used by both sides to the controversy, a final decision may be reached within two or three weeks. If either side light for de lay, a settlement may be deferred in definitely. How It will terminate or what will be the next step when the sergeant-at-arms makes his report can not be prophesied, Telegram.

The situation at Salem had a decided change today, it coming this timo from the senate. Only six senators answered to roll-call, and these being tired of tho farce, concluded to ring down the cur tain. They wero true to their princi ples to tho last, and in quitting still maintained that the senate could not adjourn without tho consent of the house, and so thoy just dissolved, faded out like a lengthening shutlow at sunset. This settles tho matter aa far as the reg ular session is concerned, and nothing more can he done unless Govornor Lord calls an extra session, which he is not apt to do for some time.
