SUSTAINS HIM
Intimation that Friends of the Bill in
Its Presnt Form Inspired the Op'
position to the Reconsideration
of the Measure.
Salem, Jan. 31. The effort to obtain
reconsideration of the reapportionment
bill in the house, which gave promise of
a bitter fight at the close of the session
yesterday, has failed. After a debate of
over and hour this morning the decision
of the speaker in holding that the bill
had passed beyond the jurisdiction of
the bouse, was sustained by a vote of
32 to 20 ; absent 7.
Upon the question being pat whether
the decision of the chair should stand
as the judgment of the house, Moody
took the floor in defense of the position
held by the speaker. He said the ques
tion was not whether the reapportion
ment bill was just, but whether the
t 1 L . I I. : i; 1
kAio epvuitcr who ngut io uia ruling, nuu
appealed to the members not to let their
feelings upon tbe reapportionment bill
influence their votes. Jefferson's man
uel was cited to sustain the speaker from
a legal standpoint.
Reeder was the first to take tbe floor
in opposition to the ruling of the speak
er, and contended that the bouse was
the judge of its own rules, and could
give them any construction it saw fit.
He also intimated that there must be
some motive in the attempt to defeat
reconsideration.
Roberts cited Robert's rules of order
in defense of the decision of the speaker,
and also the congressional records in the
Missouri compromise case.
Fordnev facetiously referred to Mult
nomah's down-hill pull on all measures
and asked for a postponuaent of the re
apportionment until the next annual
census was taken.
Hill spoke of tbe logical sequence if
the action contemplated by tbe opposi
tion to the bill was carried out, claiming
it was just as easy to go a step farther
and recall a bill when the governor had
signed it. He said it was no time nor
place for sharp practices and trifling, as
the eyes of tbe state were npon them,
and for himself would vote to sustain
tbe speaker.
Reeder replied to Hill, and then Wbal
ley took Reeder to task. Whalley read
from the constitution in support of his
position that the bill has reached the
point where it was mandatory for tbe
speaker to sigu it. He held that as far
as the action of the house was concerned
the bill was already practically a law,
and closed with a warning that it was a
dangerous precedent to strike down safe
guards of legislation even in the interest
of the right.
Flagg raised the point that if recon
sideration is desired the house would be
left entirely at the mercy of the senate
as tbe latter body could advance. tbe bill
on the calendar and pass it . under sua
pension of the rules, so tbe house would
have no opportunity to reconsider its
vote. .
Whitney said the question at issue
was not one of courtesy to tbe speaker,
but whether sixty members bad the
richt to Rftv whether the ftnaakar'a rul
ing is wrong.
Stillmen's amendments to the bouse
rules providing for reference of bills be
fore being read and . ordered printed in
the interests of economy of time and
expense . was adopted, and. the senate-
concurrent resolution adopting the Ore

A bill was introduced by Speaker
Carter to appropriate $1000 to reim
burse school district No. 73, in Jackson
county, for proceeds of the sale of the
bonds of .the district negotiated and em
bezzled by George Bloomer, late treas
urer of the county. -
In the Senate.
In the senate this morning Selling
moved to reconsider the vote bv which
a resolution was passed, yesterday au
thorizing tbe secretary of state to make
certified transcripts of all laws for tbe
use of the state printed "at the usual
rate compensation," saying he intended
to introduce a bill to reduce the fee al
lowed for such transciipts. Fulton ob
jected to reducing tbe fees before the
expiration of the present term of office,
and Smith came forward with the argu
ment that all such, fees were uncon
stitutional. The motion to reconsider
was carried and the resolution tabled.
Mulkey introduced a resolution for
constitutional amendment abrogating
tbe article providing for tbe office of
state printer, which was referred.
Bills were introduced as follows: By
Reed, to reduce the appropriation for
the Soldiers' Home from $.2,000 to
$10,000, and authorize tbe ' governor in
stead of a board of trustees to appoint
all officers of that " institution ; by
Kuykendall, to authorize an additional
judge for the second judicial district;
by Mulkey, to create tbe office of re
corder for Folk county at a salary of
$1000, and reducing tbe county clerk's
salary from $1600 to $1200; making taxee
a first lien on real estate; Joeephi, to
reduce the salaries of tbe Multnomah
county clerk, clerk of the circuit court
and recorder after the expiration of the
present term, from $3500 to $2500; by
Fulton, to abolish tbe office of recorder
of Clatsop county ; to protect fish against
destruction by explosives ;to prohibit the
laying out of .county roads of greater
grades than 7 per cent ; by Looney, for
tbe better enforcement of judgments and
decrees.
NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA
To Gain Flesh, to Sleep Well, to Know
W hat Appetite and Good Digestion
Means.
MAKE A TEST OF STUART'S DYS
PEPSIA TABLETS.
No trouble is more common or more
misunderstood than nervous dyspepsia.
People having it think their nerves are
to blame and are surprised that they
PROF. HENRY W. BECKER, A. M.
are not cured by nerve medicines. The
real seat of the mischief is lost sight of.
The stomach is the organ, to . be looked
after. '
Nervous dyspeptics often do not have
any pain whatever in tbe stomach, nor
perhaps any of the symptoms of stom
ach weakness. Nervous dyspepsia shows
itself not in the stomach so much as in
nearly every organ. In some cases the
heart palpitates and is irregular ; in oth
ers the kidneys are effected ; in others
tbe bowels are constipated,, with head
aches ; still others are troubled with loss
of flesh and appetite with accumulations
of as, sour risings and heartburn.
It is safe to 'say that Stuart's Dyspep
sia Tablets will cure any stomach weak
ness or disease except cancer of the
stomach. They cure sour stomach, gas,
loss of flesh and appetite, sleeplessness,
palpitation, heartburn, constipation and
headache.

How he found relief is best told in bis
own words : ,
"Some weeks ago my brother heard
me say something about indigestion.and
taking a box out of his pocket said: 'Try
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.' I did, and
was promptly relieved. Then 1 investi
gated the nature of the tablets, and be
came satisfied that they were made of
just the right things and in just the
right proportions to aid in the assimila
tion of food. I heartily indorse them in
all respects, and I keep them constantly

Sharkey the Great.
Philadelphia, Jan., 31 Tom Sharkey
put out Jack McCormick, of this city, in
the second round of what was to ' have
been a six-ronnd go at the arena tonight.
The bout lasted as long as it did prob
ably because tbe sailor wanted to give
the great crowd present something for
their money.
Sharkey decided to end tbe exhibit af
ter a lively exchange in' the opening of
the second ronnd. He put in a left
uppercut, eent left and right "by turn, to
tbe jaw and brought the right up again
to the same spot.- McCormick went
down and stayed the limit. . When he
got to his feet again Tom banged a right
in. the stomach and left on the jaw, and
the local man went out of business. The
round lasted 2 minutes and 15 seconds.
After tbe bout Sharkey announced that
OJRourke would, on bis behalf, cover
the money deposited in New York by
Fitzsimnions. '

GOMEZ WANTS :
SIXTY MILLIONS
He Mates Insolent Demands Upon trie
United States.
GARCIA'S PLAN
REPUDIATED
The Commander-in-Chief Declares He
Will Not Accept the Paltry Three
Millions Proffered.
New York, Jan. 31. A special to the
Tribune from Washington says: Max
imo Gomez, the Cuban general, has de
manded nearly $60,000,000 from tbe
United States and refuses to disband his
"army" until the money is paid. He
has repudiated the arrangement made
by Calixto Garcia, who came to Wash
ington with authority from Gomez to
provide for the return of the Cubans to
their peaceful pursuits, and whose work
was barely accomplished before his end
den death of December 11.
It was then agreed that the United
States in order to secure the prompt re
sumption of labor on tbe plantations of
tbe island with a view of promoting the
speedy revival of prosperity and 'settled
conditions, should distribute about
$3,000,000 among the 30,000 men said to
be still under arms in the ratio of $100 a
man, the officers in proportion to their
rank to receive a greater amount, the
ordinary enlisted men to be discharged
with sums less than $100, depending
upon the length of service and other
considerations. For over a month tbe
pay corps of tbe army has been making
ready to carry out this arrangement, the
national defense fund being available for
the purpose. - Accurate lists of tbe
soldiers entitled to compensation had to
be prepared and other formalities gone
through. - It was intended that the
Cubans at the proper time should apply
at established American garrisons in the
various provinces, where on throwing
down their, arms "and presenting the
proper credentials they were to receive
their quota of the allotment from tbe
pay officers at tbe stations. In the
meantime General Brooke and his chief
subordinate have been endeavoring to
give employment, mostly of a perma
nent character, to large numbers of
Cubans, in order to restore the number
requiring a bounty, and at tbe same
time give the inhabitants opportunity to
begin governing themselves.
Gomez has come out - against this
scheme, which was operating satisfac
torily to most Cubans, and has struck
for greater stakes. It is officially known
that he is endeavoring to dissuade
Cubans from accepting office under the
American occupation, and is urging all
the natives of every grade to stay with
him in the field until the United States
is compelled to accede to bis "terms of
disbandment." Gomez alleges that his
army consists of 40,000 men, and he in
sists that most of them shall be paid for
three years' service at tbe rates that pre
vailed in the United States army. He
fixes the date of tbe Cuban declaration
of independence February 24, -1895, as
tbe beginning of tbe period for which
himself and his forces are to be remuner
ated, and for himself , with fcthe rank of
lieutenant-general, he wilt be satisfied
with '$11,000 annually, the American
late for that grade.
Gomez has also about twenty major
generals, for each of whom he wants
$7500 annually, and his "army" is
equipped : with nearly 200 brigadier
generals, each rated, accordingly to tbe
United States army pay table, at $5500
annually. ' This aggregates the nice
little sum of $3,783,000 for generals
alone ; then tbere are colonels, lieutenant-colonels
and majors whose numbers
run into the thousands.' The privates
do not amount to much, for they are

reported that over $57,000,000 will be re

has made, which is an average of $1455

It is to meet their demands and show
Gomez their absurdity that Gonzales
