Too many candidates for ' speaker, and a contested election case J ' from Coos county are the causes of the S hitch. t . .. A telephone message received at 3 o'clock this af'erooon from Salem f .stated that the house had not been or f ganized at that hour, the factions not . '; speaker.

The deadlock in the organization of the house of representatives bodes no good for Senator Mitchell. The bit terness that is engendered over the speakership fight will be difficult to ; quell, and it will no ' doubt be carried into the senatorial contest. The matter of securing a diamond drill to prospect for coal seems to be slumbering. This should not be. A coal .mine means too much for The Dalles to allow the prospecting to stop for the lack of proper appliances that will cost only a few hundred dollars. ' Major George S. Wilson,' assistant adjutant-general on the staff of Gen eral Otis, department commander Vancouver, died at his hom'e'iu' Van couver yesterday, aged 54 years. Major ..

During the absence of Justice Filloou all the wood belonging to the office was stacked up in front of the door and a notice posted stating that the court had suspended business. The O. R. & N. freight office pre sents a more cheerful appearance now than for some time past, since tho windows have been brightened and decorated with new curtains, and nil the gentlemen employes have coo sen ted to don dresses. These im provement J are all owing to the un tiring efforts of Miss Enright, chief clerk in the depot. Yesterday Judge Bradshaw handed down a decree in the case of I. F, Bains vs. Thos. M. Denton and San- doz Broz., which was argued during tho November term of circuit court. The case was one in which Bains sought to forclose a mortgage on lands owned by Denton, and the Sandoz Bros, were made defendants from hav ing the right of way for an irrigating ditch across the lands. By stipulation they were allowed to retain the prop erty in their ditch, and the decree of the court was that the mortgage be foreclosed to satisfy a judgment for $2675.68.

The house hold-up is still on at Salem, the factions being unable to agree upon the speakership. When all this foolery will end, even the wisest politician cannot tell. ..... ' Boss Piatt is to be senator from New York to succed Hill. In the caucus of the republican members of the legisla ture yesterday he received 142 votes while Cboate got only seven. Yesterday Guy Molton and Geo. Al ley were arrested on the suspicion that they were implicated in the rob bery of Mrs. Obar, but were discharged, there being no evidence against them.' '. One lone, -excursionist who trave.s principally on break-beams, was a dc fcndact'in the recorder's court this morning, and was sentenced to pay the customary fine of $5, but being a lit tie short of cash preferd to accept a job of sawing wood for the city. . Last evening Constable Olinger ar rived from Hood River with two sons of the forest, Geo. Alex and - Indian Jim, who were examined before Jus tice Prather yesterday on "a charge of WANTS HACK ON THE GKASS. Coxcy Flan to Reorganize the Common weal Armyliwnea Another Call. The most important feature of the proceedings of the commonweal con ference at St.' Louis' that closed its session last Wedneeday, was the reso lution of J. S. Coxey calling for a sec ond assembling of the unemployed workmen all over the country for the purpose of making such a demonstra tion as shall appeal to the legislative branches, not only of congress, but of every state, in the hope of inducing legislation that will ameliorate the condition of - the workingmen. In short. General Coxey's resolution is a revival of the agitation of a couple of years ago, which resulted in the fa' mous march of the commonweal army to Washington." The resolution, which is destined to become as famous as Coxey's first proc lamation, calls upon the unemployed workingmen of every city and hamlet in the United States to assemble on the public square or other public . place on February 22, Washington's birthday, in open mass meeting. .. ; ' . Tho purpose of these meetings is to demonstrate in the most practical manner the extent of distress and des titution prevalent throughout the country by. reason of the scarcity of work-. This, it is argued, will be the most forcible object lesson that could be devised, and, General Coxey be lieves, will force legislation looking to the amelioration, of the condition of the workiugman that otherwise could not be secured as expeditiously as de sired. .... It is the intention to register each unemployed workingman in every city and town and to forward these records to" ibeltou'oialob'ead ' of legislation at. Washington with unremitting regular ity until some concerted action is taken by congress- to 'improve the condition of labor and bring about such' reforms in 'existing laws as will restore the prosperity of the nation.

Two thieves gained entrance into the sleep ing apartments of Mrs. Obar. proprie tor of the hotel, by prying the door open with a cbisol.and took from under her pillow $130, all c.f which was gold except one V-Q bill. Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Obar bad drawn the money out of the bank for purpose of paying somo bills, and hav ing no safe in the house, had put the money under her pillow when she re tired. About 1:15 in the morning she was awakened, and realized that some one was in her room, but was so badly frightened that she could not give an alarm. While one of the robbers stood at the door, the other went to her bed, took the money from under her pillow, then both departed without making any disturbance. Mrs. Obar's room is on the ground floor, and the door through which the thieves -entered opens into the ball, in which a bright light was burning at the time of the robbery, but no one was stirring in the house or on the street at the time, hence the robbers escaped unobserved except by the lady whom they robbed. As soon as Mrs. Obar recovered from her fright she called up 'Nigbtwatchman Wiley and Deputy Sheriff Kelly, but the thieves had made good their escape before the officers arrived on the scene. Neither of the robbers were masked, and they are described as being low, heavy set men. Fu-ther than this Mrs. Obar was unable to give a description that would lead to their identity.

The next footpad who attempts to hold up a Corvallisite is just as good as dead. The masked battery that he will uncover when he sings out "throw up your hands," will be terrific enough to send shivers up the back of a Cuban insurgent, accustomed to such things, says the Times. ' He will tackle his man expecting of course, to pluck him or-his diamonds, jewelry and gold, but he will get instead, dose after dose .of cold lead, pumped into his carcass out of a bran new shooting iron, wielded by the nervous hand of a desperate Corvallisite, reckless of human gore.' All this is known because most of our young men and old men too, now go armed. They became walking ar senals right after the two hold-ups re ported last week. Those 'who had weapons have cleaned off the' rust and put in new loads, and those who hadn't a shooting irsn have bought new ones. "I never in my life had such a trade in revolvers as since the hold-up, said a dealer in firearms yesterday. "Everything I had in the store that would shoot has been sold, and I could haye sold several more if my stock had held out.' He has ordered a new sup ply from adroai. After the new stock arrives more back trouser poqkets will bulge out with bottled danger, and thus we glide. If the supply of foot pads hold out, and the "old, well-armed guard," don't forget and throw up its hands instead of bringing the battery into action, the starting of a new grave yard for dead footpads may become a eessity. ......

Mr. Seufert chanced to be in Portland, and on be ing interviewed stated that he had given no such check, whereupon Stel bach & Co. caused Baker's arrest..

The caucus held in Salem last night to decide who should be elected U. S. senator was anything but a success, as its actions were not binding, upon the members who participated.. Forty? three republicans and k on .populist, Nosier, whose seat in thu house is1 con tested, participated in the caucus, and John H. Mitchell was speedily declared the unanimous choice of those present for senator.' But as there was not a majority of the members of the legisla ture present at the meeting, it Ib doubt ful if the action of the caucus-' has ad' ded anything , to Senator Mitchell's chances. The Salem Statesman gives this account of the ballot in the caucus: ; "As the roll was called each man ex pressed his choice and one ballot was all that was necessary. -"Forty-four men answered as their names' were called and each and every response was John H. Mitchell. It wis har monious. Senator Mitchell . received the forty-seven votes and was declared the nominee of the caucus he baving received the largest number - of votes ever cast in Oregon for any candidate for United States senator at' a caucus. The caucus was presided over by Sen ator Hughes of Washington county. Letters Advertised. - The following is the list of letters re maining in The Dalles dob toffioe .un called for January 15, 1807.'
