According to the beat entlniHtes of the railroads up to date, the total visiting crowd was about nr.000, a little less than half the number of four years af. Even theae crowds have quickly dispersed. and while there are UN noticeable crowds in and about the public build ings, and the street car .lines are more than normally crowded, the sidewalks are about down to their normal condition. OTIS OETS A PLUM. Washington, March 5. It Is Under stood that Harrison Q. Otis, proprietor of the Loa Angeles Ttmea. Is slated to be ai9tant ecretary of war, to succeed General Joseph E. Doe. Special to the Astorlan. Salem. Or., March 5. Governor Lord wma asked today whether he intended to appoint a United Staite senator, and If an, whether he thought his appointee would be seated. He said: I shall appoint a senator.but whether or not he will be seated I cajtnot say. The decision are conflicting and the result would dupend omwhat on the temper of the senate. Legislative de cision they are sometimes partisan and the doctrine of atate decisions ha but little application to them. There Is no case divided by the senate that Is parallel with the Oregon case. It I only by some sort of Teclous analogy that the facts In the Oregon case can be brought within the principle recent ly declared by the senate. I understood that the latest rullrwr of the senate is to the effect that, where a legislature fall to elect a senator during it ses sion, the power of the governor to ap point Is denied. But this power to ap point a senator stands upon a different footing jvhere there Is no session of the legislature, through the inability of its memlien to organise and .become a legislative body, in consequence of w hich a enator cannot be elected. In such a case the conditions never have existed In which the legislature could exercise lis power to elect a senator. To my mind, the vavancy In the sen ate, caused by reaaon of the failure of the legislature to organize and be come a competent body to elect a sen ator, is a very different matter from the failure of a duly organized body to choose a senator. In the first case there is no legislature to exercise the power of election to fill the vacancy, and this condition might arise from many and different causes, while, in the latter case, theiv Is a competent legislative body to choose a senator and till the vacancy, ajjd a failure to do so must be always due to the derelic tion of its members." "IVi you think that you will call a special session of the legislature, and If so, can you indicate alniut the time?" "I do not know at what time, or if at any time, I shall convene a special session of the tcKiaUvture. The fact that I shall appoint a senator Indicates that I have no present Intention of calling the legislature together, at least for some time. Recent occurrences in dlcate too many cross purposes to hope for co-operation among the members to secure needed legislation. I suppose that there will be some effort made to Induce me to call a special session, arising probably as much out of polit ical considerations as a desire to fur nish needed relief to the state. I un derstand the needs of the state and its condition, and I regret the failure of the legislature to organize and furnish the people the relief promised and needed. Hut this Is a condition ot things for which I am not resiKns1ble. nor would it Justify me In Incurring the expense of convening the legislature without being convinced that a beneficial result would accrue to the state. When you look at the extent and purpose of some of the appropriations of the recent leg- Washington, March 5. The failure of President Cleveland's cabinet to attend the Inaugural ceremonies held In front of the capltol yesterday, and the ab- ience of Secretary Olney from the pro ceeding. wa due to some slight oversight of person charged with the preparation of the inaugural program. with which neither the oJd nor new admlnlt ration I chargeable. There i no est&Mlahed precedent for the attend ance of the cabinet of the retiring president at the induction of hi suc cessor. When It was noticed by the cabinet member that no place had been sot down for them in the official program and in the line of escort to Oie capltol, they had no feeling on the subject, and were prepared to accept the plan grace fully. However. It was deemed proper to call the attention of the senate com iruitee to mis matter and tnl was done, but a further lapse occurred some- where, and provision was not made for thein. Before the escorts started for the capitol the omission was dis covered by General Porter and Presi dent Cleveland and cabinet were placed In proper position in line, as Mr. Mc Klnley's personal guest a; all save Sec retary Olney, who could not be reached in time with news of the arrangement. The idea that he absented himself from the White House because of a rupture of the relation) between himself and President Cleveland Is scouted by the friends of both. It is probably true that there has been a difference of opin ion between the president and Secre tary Olney. as to the transmission of correspondence in the Ruiz case to congress, but there was nothing ap proaching a rupture of friendly rela tions, and the president and secretary parted on good terms. BUSINESS OUTLOOK. Bradstreet's Show an Improvement al! Along the Line. New York. March 5. Bradetreefs to morrow will say: The new administration, the certain ty or an extra session of congress within a fortnight, and the promise of a new tariff at an early day which shall provide adequate revenue and pro tection, have done much to stimulate a better feeling In trade circles, and increase confidence In the near ap proach of Improvement In business. Favorable features are to be found In the higher prices for wheat, corn, pork, as well as or steel billets; steel mills are fairly well filled with orders, and in some lines are Inclined to ad vance prices. Recent low quotations for various forms of Iron and steel have been withdrawn, notably for wire and structural material.

Excitement Growing Intense Maeafng of Troop on the Frontier. Athena. March 5. Feverish . activity . continues throughout the whole coun try. Large quantities of arms, ammu nition, provision and military store are being conveyed by transport te TlHwsaiy. The massing of troops oa the frontier is proceeding with the t moet speed and public feeling 15 at the highest pitch of excitement. Those . taking the coolest view no longer coa- ceal their opinion that in the event of coercion the center of interest will be transferred to the Turkish frontier, where the most serious event may be expected. Many foreign escorts have already started for Thessaly. The Greek flee has been divided Into four squadrons.. The east bound squadron is composed of the iron dads Psara and Spelzla. the cruiser Nanrichesmlranlis. th armored corvette, Basil Euzergios. and " the dispatch boat Paralos, under com mand of Commodore Apostolls, will cruise In the Sporades Islands.

The new revenue bill by which It is proposed to cheapen the cost of levy ing taxes and Increase collections under revised methods, passed the senate af ter two, days' continuous consideration. By unanimous vote the house passed the bill to prohibit the obstruction of the view of the stage by theater hats and prescribing a penalty as a misde meanor. A strong anti-fellow servant bill also passed, which brings all corporations under Its provisions, instead of railroad corporations only, as provided In the bill passed some time ago and which is now In the hands of (he senate com mittee. The senate held an evening session to consider the freight rate reduction bill. TO KEEP ORDER. San Framclsco, March 5.
