DAVIS WAS SHUT OUT Eut a Compromise Was Reached and Each House Was Allowed to Proceed Without Bloodshed. Davis Adjourned to Give Bhnson a Show. Senrte Not Notified That the House Bad Organized Adjourned Till Monday Salem, Jan. 22. Serious trouble was threatened this morning when the Davis organization met, but it was averted. A number' of assistant sergeant-at-arms sworn in by the Ben son organization had remained in the house all night, and when Davis, at 9:30, started to ascend the rostrum to call the house to order, he was stopped by three-of them, who forbade him in tho name of the state of Oregon to as cend. Davis asked by what authority they refused to permit him to take his chair. He was told that they had been authorized by Speaker Benson to allow no one to take the chair. Davis repeated his question, and after it had again been answered, called on the by standers to witness what bad passed. He then went to the other side of the rostrum, where the same proceedings were bad. At this juncture a compromise was effected by permitting Davis to take his seat on condition that his house adjourn before the Benson house was called to order. The roll call showed only seven members present. The house then adjourned until 2 P. , tomorrow.

Little Business Transacted Daring a Short 8ession. Salem, Or., Jan. 22 The Benson house held a short session, transacting only business of a preliminary nature. Contrary to expectation no formal no tiee was sent to the senate asking for recognition. The entire session seemed to lack ginger. An adjourn ment was taken until Monday fore noon, instead of tomorrow, as was done by the DavisTiouse. , - . When the hour pf JO o'clock arrived all the members of the Davis house who were present withdrew, and Speaker Benson called his organiza tion to order. The roll call showed 31 members present. Thomas introduced a resolution that the chief clerk and eaeh member of the house be furnished with a code and house and senate journals and session laws of the last legislature. The reso lution further provided that all these copies remain the property of the state and be returned at the end of the ses sion. The resolution was adopted by vote of 24 to C. Those voting against the resolution were Bridges, Chapman, Gratke, Hud son, Misener and Rigby. The speaker appointed Lake, Hunt ington and Bridges a committee of three to prepare a schedule of wages for the officers and employes of the house. The house, then adjourned till 11:30 A. M. Monday.

The building is to be 400 feet square, surmounted with mammoth ornamental towers, and the entire structure will be covered with rolled silver. The silver to be used in its external decorating will be contributed by miners of the great west. Over 300,000 square feet of external surface will be covered by the precious metal. The "oilver palace" will be used en tirely for the display of the mineral products and progress of the west, The amount of pure silver to be used in covering the walls and dome of the mammoth building has uot been defi nitely estimated. It will largely de pend upon the thinness of the sheet of pure metal that can be used for this purpose. ' Lost A dear little child who made home bappv bv its smiles.

The Bold Flan of Cuban Inssrjrents at Copaste. New York, Jan. 23. A Herald dis patch from Havana says: General Weyler has received his bap tism of fire in the field. He may have been astounded by the brilliancy of the flash of the insurgent steel before his very eyes. At all events, 18 of his special escort of guides, a corps of Cu ban negroes who enjoy the distinction of guarding the person of the captain general when he takes the field, have arrived here seriously wounded with machete thrusts. Several have since died. Copaste was reached after nightfall, and a corps of guides was sent forward to reconnoiter. General Weyler, with the main Spanish column under Gen eral Seguera, halted some distance out side the village. The insurpents at the orders of their leaders had con cealed themselves in the town. Their plans were evidently well laid, and it is quite probable they might have suc ceeded in capturing the desired prize, the Spanish commander bimself . In any event, from their covert they could baye inflicted greatloss upon the Span ish column as it entered the town un prepared for an ambush conceived under such unusual circumstances and in so bold a manner. Unfortunately for the fulfillment of the designs of the insurgent leaders, while the Spanish scouts were engaged in the reconnoissance, the rifles of some of the concealed rebels were ac cidentally, discharged, giving the alarm. Before the Spanish guard re covered from its surprise, the rebels seeing that their plans were discovered rushed from their concealment and at tacked the enemy with great fury, causing severe loss in their resistless on slaught. Situation at Salens. Salem, Jan. 25 The house at 3 o'clock adopted a motion to notify the sonate that the house was ready for business. When the message was re ceived in the senate President Simon stated that it-appeared to be a notifica tion that the house was organized by electing Benson speaker. He said he had also received a communication stating that the house had not been regularly organized. In his opinion, he said, the bouse had no legal stand ing whatever, and believing the latter case to be correct, he refused to allow the message to be laid before the sen ate or made a matter of record. Not a word was said and the senate immediately passed to the reading of bills. The incident is over. It was necessary that the house notify' the senate and took this method, but dared no' offer its joint resolution to notify the governor. Just before the mes sage reached the senate King offered a resolution that the senate appoint a committee to investigate which house was the legal one, but the resolution failed, 14 to 14. Carter and Brownell were absent. Carter would have voted for and Brownell against the resolu tion. It seems that the present senate is evenly divided on the question, but it takes a majority to recognize. . V Many Bad the Measels.

Meeting, but Could Not Muster a Quorum. Attorney-General Harmon Begins Action Against the Union Pacific Weyler escapes Capture Only by the Accidental Discharge of a Gun, Cincinnati, Jan. 24. The Commer cial Tribune special from Key West, says: Another defeat for the Spanish is te- ported from Pelanos, in the Southern part of Havana province. The place has 1000 inhabitants, is well fortified, and has a Spanish garrison of 600 men with one field piece. Lieutenant-Col. Hernandez, in command of 500 insur gent cavalry, made a dash at the town Monday afternoon, while the troops were at church celebrating some local holiday. Before they could form the insurgents had posession of the block house. Cannon was trained on the church, and before the Spanish were hardly aware of what was the trouble, solid shot came burling through its walls while cries of "Cuba Libre" filled the air. Out they rushed, only to fall before a deadly volley from a strong force posted behind pome neighboring bouses. Colnel Muncio, the Spanisn officer, bravely rallied his men, but as they formed for a charge, he fell, with a dozen bullets through him. The sec ond in command took his place, but be too, fell In a , few seconds time, the sharpshooters of Hernandez' dealing death with a rapidity that rendered the troops panic-stricken. They made one more attempt to charge the blockhouse, but Hernaudez cavalry reserve dasnea at - mem sweeping through their ranks and cutting a bloody path with their sharp mac he tee. The Spanish then retired, it being a rout, though a portion stubbornly pro tected their rear, making stands until forced to retire by Hernandez' fierce charges. After pursuing them nearly to Cajaio on the coast, the insurgents withdrew. They burned the forts at Palanos.

Foreclosure BUI Filed Against the Union Pacific. Omaha, Jan. 23. Attorney-General Judson L. Harmon, through Special Counsel John C. Cowln, filed in the office of the clerk of the circuit court of the United States at noon today a bill calling for the foreclosure of the government's second mortgage on the Union Pacific main line from Omaha to Ogden, and the Kansas Pacific from Kansas City to Denver. Under the rules of the court, defend ants have until the first' Monday in March to answer the bill. The receivers of the Union Pacific Trust Company and fir9t-mortgago bondholders are made defendants. The petition described the organiza tion of Union Pacific, and recites all acts of congress in relation thereto, showing how the provisions of the several acts have been complied with by the company and the government. It sets out that the amount of the first mortgage is $29,229,000, which is repre sented by the trustees, made defend ants in the suit. The second mortgage is placed at $27,236,512. It also asserts that there has been no payment on any of the bonds except by the government. The petition also recites the building of the Union Pacific bridge between Omaha and Council Bluffs and the is suance of bonds as provided for by a special act of congress, . and mentions J. Pierpont Morgan and Elisha Adkins and the Central Trust Company of New York as trustees for these bonds. It says that, of the bonds yet to mature, $15,919,512 will come due January 1, 1898, and $31,157,000 January 1, 1899; that all other bonds have matured and have been paid by the United States, and that the value of the security held is not sufficient to protect the debt.

There are no two eyes alike and no person can select suitable glasses for their own eyes. It can only be done by persons skilled .in the laws of Optics and Refraction. . Each eye must be examined separately and fitted separately. Dr. Lannerberg the eye specialist, office in the Vogt block will examine your eyes free of charge, all work guaranteed. V Wit EXERCISE FOR THE EYES. Absolutely Necessary la Order That the Vision May Be Preserved. When the eyes are treated fairly they are strengthened, not weakened, by work, says the Philadelphia Times. Just as the arms of a blacksmith irrow the stronger for his trade, bo the eyes of watchmakers who work under, healthy conditions are found to im prove and not to deteriorate in vigor and quickness. It is the abuse of tho eyes, not their use, which is to be avoided. If a man is aware either that Lis eyes need no artificial correction or else have received their proper adjust ment, and if his work, whether liter ary or mechanical, is done in a light both steady and sufficient and with a due regard as to ordinary sanitary . rules, he may fell sure that lie is Strengthening his eyes, not weakening them, by hard work." Men of intel lectual pursuits' sometimes are afraid of losing their mental powers in old age because they have drawn so much upon them when young. The reverse Is nearer the truth, and if they have not overtaxed their brains the fear is absolutely groundless. The man whose intellect goes first in old age is generally some farmer or laborer who has never strengthened and invigorated it by use; not the politician, the lawyer or the man of letters. So with the eyes. Those who have strengthened their eyes by using them properly keep keen sight longer than those who have never trained them. In the case of the man who has neglected to give his eyes full develop ment they will fail in power along with his other bodily f unctions. When however, ' the man who, born with good eyes, has kept them in constant bard work and yet never strained them reaches old age, he may find them capable of performing their functions better than any other organ of the., body. , , A Monkey's Death-Bed Scene. Prof. Garner's chimpanzee, Elishaba recently fell a victim at Liverpool to tin severe weather. The scene at the death bed was very d stressing. Poor Aaron . the male chimpanzee, had beer, most assiduous in his attention tb -his consort during the whol; of her illness. Prof. -Carrier wc present during the last moment:. and when he put his hand to her heart to find if it had ceased to beat, Aaron also put his hand there. lookHff up i the professor's eyes as if inquiring ir that was all they could do for her Aaron would not suffer Elishaba to l taken from him. and clung to her botl;. with such tenacity that tho professr' was compelled to lay it down on its be I of straw. The sadness depicted Aaron's countenance could not har. been -more .clearly portrayed on th" face of any human being. Poor Aart was not consoled until he had placi i his hand in that of the professor, ' ! by signs and Bounds had told him ' . his distress.
