A Warm Debate Oyer the Ballol Bill Tbe Senate Votes in Favor of the Wagou, Road Appropriation Salem, Feb. 4. The senafe to day settled all doubts as to its attitude toward the wamiJroad grants. " After "a J"vrgWou8 ii?oiJ5S; Blackmail's bill for an appropria tion of $5000 for a wagon road in Grant county was passed. The special committee on wagon roads has decided to reconsider their action on the bill for a wagon road from Brownsville up the Calajiooia and to recommend an appropria tion of $")000. The wagon road bills have all been scaled down, but a formidable sum will ba ap propriated for these roads in vari ous portions of the state. The house occupied nearly the entire day in considering the assessment bill, as a committee of the whole, and has not yet reached the end of the voluminous meas ure, w hich w ill be again considered to-morrow. The senate to-day indulged in a spirited debate on Cogswell's bill to regulate primary elections in cities of over 5000 imputation. It was a contest between the Simon and anti-Simon men, and the latter won by referring the bill with several amendments to the committee on elections when it came up on its third reading. A senate joint resolution was passed, and concurred in by the house, requesting Oregon's repre sentatives at Washington to pre sent the name of Hon. II. A. Failing, of Portland, as a man particularly lilted to fill the va cancy in th cabinet caused by the death of Secretary of the Treasury Windom. The resolution was unanimously passed wiiiij.much enthusiasm. IX THE SENATE. The senate met at 10 o'clock. The roll was called and, no clergyman being present, no prayer was made. The reading of the journal was dispensed with. Crosno's bill to' assent to the purposes of the grants of congress in agricultural colleges was made a special order for Thursday at L' o'clock. The special committee on public buildings reported that they had visited the state university, and a glowing report was given; report adopted. TIIIUD KEADI.VG OF III1.1.S. By Sinclair, regulating the fees of certain ollicers ; passed, "ii to 1, Veatch voting no. By Sinclair, allowing the Coos Bay & Koeeburg railroad to con struct a bridge across Cove Bank slough on Coos bay ; passed. Cogswell asked consent to intro duce a bill, the purport of which is to provide for the holding of primaries and the manner of con ducting the same, and to prevent frauds at such in cities of 5000 or more. This is to embody the Simon amenonients, which have been attached to the Australian ballot bill. The second reading of the bill was made a special order for ."! p. m. ; referred to com mittee on elec'ionH, with amend ments. When the Australian ballot bill came up this afternoon, Fulton of fered an amendment, providing that no arrest should be made un der the provisions of the act with out a warrant and making it a mis demeanor to make an arrest without such warrant. President Simon stated that the bill being on its third reading, under the rules, no amendments could be oflered without unaniinousconsent. Cogs well objected to Fulton's amend ment, but said he had a similar one which lie wished to propose. This roused Fulton's ire and he demanded to know by what right the senator could object to his amendments and then offer one of his own. He denounced the way the bill had been railroaded along in the senate, and closed by say ing: "I suppose the majority that have determined upon these amendments have fixed up this dose of medicine and will insist up on our swallowing it without a murmur. Others may do as they choose, but as for me I will have none of it." The amendment was referred to the committee on elec tions with instructions to report to morrow morning. The confer ence committee on the Australian ballot b 11 he'd a meeting this afternoon at which only three mem bers, Fullerton, Raiey and Keed, weie present. From all accounts the session wae a very stormy one. The senators made a proposition that if the house would pass the new bill eml.odying the amend ments of th senate the latter body would recede and pass the original bill, but the latter was not to be reported until the new bill had been passed by the house. This proposition was indignantly re jected by the house conference. The house conferees w ill report in the morning that they were unable to agree. By Willis, r-'gulating the ob servance of Sunday (the object is to close saloons and beer-gardens on Sunday) ; failed to pass, 22 to 0.

EEI'KNSEs) OK THE INDIAN CAMPAIGN JI ST CLOSEO. It font Nearly S.'.OOO.OOO to I'ut Down an Outbreak tliat Mlglit Have Been Averted, Washington', Feb. 4. An esti mate sent to congress yesterday by the secretary of war to supply the deficiency in the quartermaster's departments tells the story of the cost of the Indian campaign just closed. The round eum of $l..'i00, 000 is asked for, the principal items of which are f9:S5,0Iti for transportation of troops and sup plies, and $187,702 for extra cloth ing, camp and garrison equipage necessary to till out for the winter campaign. $70,0(HJ to replace the stolen horses broken down in the campaign and for the purchase of ponies, and $S7,0(K) to cover the difference in the cost of supplies purchased for the troops in the tield and the contract pi ices at the post from which troops were drawn. There were cither expen ses under the .supply department, that will probably bring the totp.l cost of the campaign up to $2,000, 000. The sum is sutlicient to have given the Sioux the $100,0(10 an nual appropriation promised them for a period of twenty years. WAS IT SI ICIDK ? A Bnnk Cashier Shoot Hluigelf Th rough the Left Breast. Skittle, Feb. 4. Chas. Leon hardt, book-keeper in the Wash ington National bank, shot him self in the bank at :! o'clock this morning, lie had been working nearly all night, balancing his books in company with another book-keeper named Thomas S. Beals. Suddenly Beals beard a pistol shot and heard Leonhardt cry out, "Iv'e shot myself." 1 hy sicians were called in and found Leonhardt d shot himself through the left breast with a re volver, the bullet passing through his left lung. Leonhardt insisted that the shot was accidental, but later told other stories, as Beals has also done. It is said that both young men had been out in com pany with an unknown young woman as late as 2 o'clock and that when they went into the bank at 2:30 o'clock both were evi dently under excitement. Both Leonhardt and Beals now refuse to make any statement, and the affair is shrouded in mystery. Leonhart is 21 years of age and came here last November from Auburn, N. Y., where he has wealthy connections. He secured his bank position on a letter from H. W. Seward and Congressman Payne, of New York. To-night the doctors think he will die. I TIIE SLAVE TRADE. President Harrison's Message on this Subject. ir w ill iik ri i:i.iS!iEi. Ike Olympia Legislature Rtfu:es toPas the Eight Hoar Bsteni-No Spe cial Session Will Be Held. Washing rox, Feb. 4.

OLVMl'IA LKtilHI.AIl KE. Death's Clammy llan.l Assists the Eight Hour Bill. Oi.ymi'IA, Feb. 4. The house to day summarily killed the eight hour bill passed by the senate about a week since. The house committee recommended the bill unfavorably and the house en dorsed its action by a vote of ."'.1 to 7. The houe then took up Adams' bill to provide eight hours labor on all public institutions. Owing to a memorial making a strong presentation to congress relative to the need of public land sutveys in Washington, it called forth a fiery speech from Ander son, of Mason, who accused the congressional delegation of pro crastination and laziness in secur ing surveys of public lands. The memorial passed the house by an overwhelming vote. Yancy intro duced a projiosition to amend the constitution so that the state may contract an indebtedness in one per tent, of its total taxable A'ealth. Putney, of Pacific, also wants to amend the constitution so that the state may loan money on school district" bonds. The work of legislation has been so de layed that there is already talk of a special session after the adjourn ment of the regular session. Governor Laughton to-day de clared in most emphatic language that he would call no special ses sion unless some extraordinary emergency arose. He believes there is ample time to finish the business on hand. A bill was introduced in the senate this morning' for the di vision of the state into two con gressional districts. The bill provides that the territory now comprising the counties of Island, San Juan, Whatcom, Skagit, Sno homish, King, Yakima, Kittitas, Okanogan, Douglas, Adams, Lincoln, Spokane and Stevens shall constitute the tirst district. The proiKised second distnet w ill comprise Clallama, Jefferson, Kit sap, Mason, Chehalis, Thurston, Pierce, Lewis, Pacific, Wahkiakum, Cowlitz, Clarke, Skamania, Klicki tat, Franklin, Walla Walla, Gar field, Columbia, Asotin and Whitman.

Hart, a member of the "One of the Finest" company, r.ow playing at the Lyceum '.heater, was yes terday morning committed to the city insane asylum by the chief police surgeon. Hart is an old va riety performer and is better known to the rofession as "Handsome Dan." The company arrived in this city Sunday evening and stopped at the Windsor hotel. On Sunday night Hart was observed to act in a queer way, and Mana ger Hasson's attention was called to his behavior. The manager remonstrated with lr'ni and found that he was out of his mind.

EIGHTEEN LIVES LOST IN A PENNSYLVANIA IINE. The Liberation of an Immense Body "1 Water Drowns Every body in the Mine List of Dead. Hazi.eto.v. Pa., Feb. 4. A terri ble accident occurred at Janesville this miming, whereby 18 men lost their lives. The accident oven red in slope 10, operated by J. C. J lay den efc Co. The workinirs is situ ated immediately under tbo old workings, known as No. 8, workeil out some year8 ago and filled with water. '1 he cause of the disastei was due lo the drilling of a hole through the pillar w hich liberated an immense body of water confined in the old workings, flooding the new workings and drowning all .he men in that jiorticn of the mine. A LATER r.KPOKT. Win Lristin, one of the seven men who escaped from the mine. says he felt the wind coining wh n the men broke through into the old slope, lie yelled to his com panions to run lor their lives or all would be drowned. In a moment a rush of water came and seven men barely escaped. The water rose rapidly and before any at tempt could be made lo rescue the rest of the workmen, the watei flowed in. and in five minutes the slope, which is 024 feet deep, was filled to the mouth and IS men were but ied in a watery grave. News of the disaster created the wildest excitement and the mouth and sloe were soon thronged with people. 1 lie weather, which was bitter cold, did not have any effect toward diminishing the crowd, and it wasi only after the terrible result was knoa n that none of the entombed men were living or could possibly be reached until all the water was pumped out of the slope that the grief stricken friends of the unfortunate men could be in duced to mo to their homes. The firm of I lay den & Co. will pump the water out as rapidly as the inacninery placed in position can do the work. Some of the miners say it will take four weeks. Many theories are advanced as to the cause of the great disaster. Some charge it to neglect to notify the workmen ot the dangerous prox imity of water. List of the dead : Law rence Reed.
