The DavU hou had a wwlon today lasting three minutes. There were Just four present, but they were enough to keep up the form of the preliminary organisation, and to wait till tomorrow, strictly obey ing the constitutional provision that bus than a quorum can adjourn from day to day only. The opoeitlon de- laren that It was never so strongly unified as at present. It la decided In iUi opinion that the Benson organlia- Wm will have to be abandoned, aa it will soon be found that It was able, to io nothing. It Is certain that the opposition has no Intention whatever of going in and making up a quorum of forty, and It Is likewise certain thit they will not obey mandates of the Benson house through Its officers, when warrants are served upon them.

The New York Banks Are Glutted with Gold. New York, January 23. The Flnan cU-r says: There l no cessation of the movement of money Into New York Banks. The reserve Increase for the week la 14,895, 2S3, w-hloh brings the total excess re serve to $37.07.800, the highest report ed In over two years. The decrease In loans shows a small demand for funds at prevailing bank raws of 2 and 3 per cent, but on the other hand there Is reason to believe there has been some closing of sterling exchange quotations which have ao largely Increased the loan Item of New York banks, and thus the apparent decrease In loam might be shown In the face of domestic bor rowing. In other words the latter is not on as large a scale as exchange realising. While the banks are hold ing to their 2 per cent loan agreement it la rumored some of them have al ready or will soon reduce the rate on current balance to 1V per cent. The stsjtement as a whole ls Interest ing aa an Indication of the results which have been forming for months. The contraction in business previous to the election; the heavy export sales and liquidation in all lines baa forced New York an immense fund of Idle money, attracted In many cases by the small Interest paid on balances. Of course the piling up of this money could not occur were business active, but there are signs that capital is be coming restive nd Is endeavoring to seek channels where It can And returns. With cheap money and fewer debts than at apy time since the panic, the chances favor a revival of 'busi ness on a sure foundation. It will be recalled that the bond sales of the part few years furnished an opportunity to relieve the banks of a large amount of idle money, but no such outlook can be looked for now. The money must He where It Is or go Into Investments of another character. The recent rapid rise In gilt-edged securities like govern ment bonds emphasises a point that money Is seeking a profitable field, but this Is a narrow one, and will have to be expanded. Then a general com merclal and Industrial revival may be looked for with certainty. BETZ WILL REMAIN. Does Not Want to Face the Chicago Murder Charge. Portland, January 23. George Bets, alias John Bingham, wanted In Chi cago will in all probability remain in Oregon and serve hie three years' sen tence for burglary. In order to allow the Chicago authorities to take Beti on a charge of murder. Governor Lord granted him a pardon after he had signed the extradition warrant. Judge Sears today held that the extradition warrant was Inoperative because It was signed while Be-tx was still under sentence here. He also holds that the pardon Is inoperative until Bets -has accepted it.

Speaker Cline's stock advanced sharply In balloting for senator today, and U begins to look aa if h has a fairly good ahons- to beat Judge Turner, although the latter yet holds the trump card. The other can didates remain m the field? itoiodln Senator Uquire, but the line kass been distinctly drawn between CUns and Turner, with the Populists on soe side and silver Republicans, Democrats and fuatonista on he other, and the fight has sifted down to a struggle be tween these two forces. It appears ts be a question of which can draw suf ficient support from the lesser candi dates to land the prise. Turner most gain Just 'ten more votes than Clint. but if either can win, the conditions favor Turner even with this handicap.
