In order to straighten up the nccountB of the school land board, a shortage In whose acconnta was mentioned in yes terday's issue, the judicial y committee hna introduced the following resolutions: WituuKAS, under and by virtue of concurrent resolution No. 5, it committee consisting of two fneinbera Irom the eenato and three from the house was appointed to Investigate nnd report up on the school funds of the etatn of Ore gon, and Wiikkkah, said committee upon the 20th day ol February, 1031 died its re port, therein to the effect that there appears to bo aJWiortugo or dpficit In said tlinds during the year pending December 31, 1894,. hi the sum of $30, 049. r.T, which said sum appears to be in no wise accounted for, now, therefore, be it lleKolved by the senate, the house con curring, that a copy of said report be Sf nt to the attorney-general of the state of Oregon with instructions Firet That he give this matter Iiib official attention and take such nteps therein as are necessary for the protec tion of the interests of the state of Oregon. Second That he bo permitted to em ploy such clerical aid in his said investi gations as to him may be necessary and convenient therein. Third That the senate anil house of representatives recommend to said at-torney-seneral that in his said investi gations he emplov the clerical aid or such thereof ns may be neces'arv through whom the alleged deficit Inn been made known.

Dnrinu the joint ballot for United States senator yesterday much excite ment was caused by .Mr. Dresser who, when hia name ,was called, arose and said in part : "Mr. President, I hold in my hand the Oregonian, dated today, in which the question is asked, 'Will Mr. Dresser explain?' I do so without hesitancy, although unprepared, in these words: Something like live or six months before the lust election I had an understand ing with Mr. Simon and Mr. Steele and others that I was to be the joint repre sentative from Multnomah and Clack amas counties. It was understood that I was to vote for Mr. Corbett for the U. S. senate if he should be a candidate. I also agreed to help Multnomah county in her interests at the legislature in all matters that were right. When the Clackamas county convention was held the delegation to the state convention was in my support, however. Graham Glass Jr. notilied mo just before that convention that there were many candi dates for the position and that it would be necessary for me to make my sena torial position more plain, and the let ter, of which 1 suppose this in the Oreponian today to be a copy, was handed to me for my signature. I signed it, although not eager or anxious to do so. "Until ten days previous to tho ses sion I had intended to vote for Mr. Corbett. But at this time I heard rumors regarding the conduct of Mr. Corbett in carrying on this campaign whiuh showed that the methods of that man and his supporters were somewhat questionable. I thought seriously of the storiea told me; 1 weighed the mat ters care'ully. What was right? I thought it was right for me not to vote for Mr. Corbett and his methods. I did not want to vote for Mr. McBride and told him so. 1 was in fact supporting no candidate. At his solicitation one day, 1 met Corbett in his room alone and Iih said to me, 'Why don't you do as you agreed and vote for me?1 I said, 'I have tieen sutialied that the manner in which your campaign bus been con ducted hua not been proper. I have the confidence of my people nnd the demo crats nnd populists of my county trust me and 1 am going homo with their confidence still.' "We hud u further talk but no agree ment was leached, and I left Mr. Cor bett in u pleasant humor. t We do Steam, hot water and furnace heating.

(Cheers for a half minute, which the president was tumble to suppress.) "The campaign methods of Corbett anil tiis friends do not honor the state. If it drivca me to political oblivion, I cannot help it. 1 believe I am right. "Who made Graham Glass Jr. the imperial czar of this state? Mr. Presi dent, I wish to cast my vote today for the Hon. Geo. H. Willinms." .Special Council Meeting.
