Jan. 10 The feature In the avnat today, aa yratertluy, waa the iquabble over the nrtty patronage of rommlttee clerka. It came up on a reso lution Of Mutkey, of I'oik. whl h allowed tb committees on envrnimd bllla and on. rolled bllla fix clerka each, the waya and meana , and judiciary commute three each, the aeaeaament and taxation, printing, municipal corporatlona and re. vlalon of law committee, two each, the other 11 committee one each. With the pay of chief clerka on committee employ. Ing more than one, U per day. all other to receive IS. Selling, of the committee on commerce and navigation, and Haines, of the com. mllt'-e on penal Institution, aaked that their clerka be stricken out. Pulton, of the Judiciary, asked a reduction from three to two, ajid Haseltlne. of the muni. clpal corporation, from two to one. Then came a pressure for more clerka. Daly, of Pen ton. wanted two more allowed for the engrossed bills committee: Patterson two more for enrolled bills, and Brownell one more on tb railroads, and all but rtrownell were uccessful. Fulton amended the pay feature to al. low chief clerks on tho engrossed bills. enrolled bills, judiciary and ways and means committee, and stenographers. $3; nil other t3. After an hour's struggle, and the defeat of a motion to postpone action, the amendment waa adopted by a vote of SI to 8. The committee on education reported adversely on two resolutions relating to committee clerkships, referred yesterday, and waa given permission to Introduce a bill covering tho matter In a few days. Twenty.seven bills were Introduced In tho senate this afternoon. SQUAnni.E IN THE HOUSE. SALEM. Jan. 10.-The feature of the forenoon's session In the house, was tho expose of a squabble over patronage be. tween two member from Marlon county. Upon the assembling of tho house, Sieakcr Carter announced that be had Intended making some change In the mako-up of the committees, owing to a disagreement between two member' of the house. Being: asked what changes he desired to muke, he stated they were th removal of McCulloch from tho chairman- ship of the oommlttoe on enrolled bill and hi transfer to the committee on banking and Insurance, and the removal ot FIsrv from the committee on banking: and Insurance to the chairmanship .ot the committee on enrolled bill. Robert of Wasco moved that the ppeaker be given the privilege of making tho change. McCulloch objected. He satd Tie would consider It a direct slap at him, and wouid resent It. This brought FlagR to his feet, who de scribed the history of his trouble with McCulloch. He said the understanding between himself, MoCulIoch and Speaker Carter was that McCulloch should be chairman of tho committee on enrolled bills, but that he (Flaprg) should have half th- patronage. In pursuance ot this compact, he named one clerk out ot four during the late special session, but at the opening ot the regular session Mc Culloch not only denied him the privilege of naming his halt of the clerks, but even that of retaining bis appointee of the special semlon. He yesterdav appointed two, juat the same and had them sworn In, but McCulloch filed a protest with the secretary of state. This brought the squabble for patronage to a focus. Cummlng dedarl that neither party waa mUitlod to consideration, while Ford, tiey, the popullat member frfom Wallowa, mitttfeituid lhnt tho best way out of the difficulty was to turn the chairmanship of (Jil committee over to som populist. Tim iiat Ion before the house b:ng whr-thir the speaker should be sustained In his nVnlr to make the change, the vole r'atilted: Ay, ; noes, J9. Th wkiT thereupon announced changes In committees a Indicated. The senate reported the paeaage of a concurrent resolution ratifying the treaty of peace with Spain. Represents, tlve Young moved It adoption, after tar-king on an amendment that the Ore gin congressional delegation be directed to vou In accordance with said resolu tion. The amendment was lost and th original resolution wa then concurred In. THE SITUATION AT OLYMPIA. OLYWf'IA. Jan. W.-Vry little wa accomplished today toward a caucus of the republican member of the lerlslo. tlon on the senatorial question. Last nlKht's calico call having fallen flt. soveral of Wilson' friend renewed the attempts tonight, with little apparent iu.ii. limy say, however, that they hope, by circulation of call, to find out what the member want, and thereby suit their future action to known con ditions. Tonight' call differed from yeaterday" In only one respect. It provide that the 42 of the S7 members ot th legisla ture who may sign It shall name tb cHU'US nominee. Last night' can pllcdly provided that S3, or a majority, of the member necessary to elect should nominate where 57 had stoned. The ma. Jor'.tv jitlll unwilling to caucus unlit the committee In tbe house have been named. The significance of thi Is the feeling that the announcing of committee will cause aome rupture. Tonight' caucus calls are for Thursday night, fhkb Is considered too early for a gen. oral satisfactory caucus. Senator Cro. today denied that he would desert ai tor Wilson. In the house this morning, Sim, of Cowlltx, Introduced a resolution calling upon the state auditor and attorney gen eral to submit an Itemised account of the expenditure of the fMOO appropriation made by the last legislature for the en. foremen! of the bill regulating railroad and transportation companies. Among th bill Introduced was one Axing a uniform rate of I per cent on state and other warrants. PLAN TO SETTLE THE FINANCIAL QUESTION OF CUBA. Prominent Cuban La 'er Now In Wash. Ington for That Purpose Building J of Panama Canal Urged. NEW York. Jan. 10. A dldspatch tort. Ho used every artifice known to the Press from Washington say: Dr. Jose A. Friar, chairman of tbe financial committee of the Cuban assembly and one of the leading lawyer In the Island has arrived In Washington, and will pre sent to the department of state a plan for the the settlement of the financial system ot Cuba. This plan Includes a method of appropriating certain revenues toward payment of the Cuban soldiers when they are disbanded and other financial measures for the relief of the poor. Ir. Friar Is a leading candidate for the appointment of chief Justice, although it is assorted hl m'sslon in Washington at this time Is not to further his can- dldacy for that office, but Is solely for the purpose of presenting his financial plans. "In addition to the financial scheme which we have proposed." Bald Dr. Friar, "Ir. Caesote. president of the Cuban as sembly, has, with others, worked out an admirable plan for the government of the Island, drawn from tho knowledRt. of "xlstlng laws and practices of the courts and various local officers and which will be submitted to tho United States. "Already General Brooke has surround ed himself with some of the ablest Cu ban leaders as advisors. They realize thaf frte fhA nreaenl A morlnan 1 ntnrvnn tlon Is necessary. The leaders have been reconciled to It and the great mass of the people are steadily coming to take this view of the matter. I regard It as neces sary, however, that Cubans should be made the police officers In the large cities for the reason that they under stand the people, know who the malefac tors are, are better able to apprehend them and prevent trouble than the Amer icans. The Spaniards If retained, are sure to encourage dissension. It has .al ways een their policy to accept bribes and they will continue to do so as long as they are maintained; in official posl. Hons and trouble Is sure to result from It under an equitable government. "General Qomea has been grossly mis. rvpresentd In a great many respects. I have reason to know that be Is not anti-American as has been charged against him. The statements that he has opposed American Intervention. I know to he absolutely and maliciously false. General Gomes la a true patriot aid has made aa many sacrifices as any man for the cause of Independence. Patriot as he la, he realised that Amert cau Intervention at this time Is necessary, he not only tolerated It without objection, but la In favor of It "General Gomes is remaining with his army near Narclso because he believes It Is his duty to do so, and permit others to take part In the affairs of the new government, la apt to 'bo forgotten and It needs General Gomes. There are 45,000 men In the Cuban army. They are anx. lous to return to tnelr deserted homes and build them up and General Gomes is deslrlous to have them do so, but It Is necessary that they should receive some compensation." General Abbott says the new plans tor completion of the Panama canal are perfectly feasible, and that the canal can be completed In one half tbe time nd at much less coat than It will take to dig the Nicaragua canal. THE SAILOR BEAT ftl'COY Floe Contest Before the Len nox Athletic Club Last Night. IT LASTED TEN ROUNDS Sharkey Caught tbe Kid With a SwIdj on tbe Neck, Put ting Hkn Oct. BOTH MEN 'FOUGHT WELL In the Third McCoy Floored Sharkey Twice, tut 'the Litter Stayed Well and Woo Oct. LENNOX ATHLETIC CLUB, New York. Jan. 10. Tom Sharkey, tbe Ameri can sa ior. stands tonight th only heavy, welsht possibility for the champlonahlp honor and title now beld by Bob Fits, slmmons. IU whipped Kid McCoy good and hard In the tenth round of what wa to have been a 20-round battle, and by doing; so the Irish-American pugilist forged bis way so positively and unde. nlably to the front rank, so that Fitxslm. mom must now consider the sallor-pugll. lst's claim without delay. Sharkey tonight wa a revelation to those who saw him a couple of year ago. HI ring; work and generalship are o vastly superior to hi exhibitions when he first came to the east as a lighter that the Improvement :s almoet Incred ible. Great bunches of muscle, with on. I.mited confidence and a cool bead, are tb qualification which have enabled Sharkay o fight hi way to tb front rank of heavyweight pugilist, and no one, not even McCoy, who suffered de feat at bis hand tonight, denies the full measure of praise that 1 due to th Irish, man. McCoy' marvelous footwork and that long left Jab with which he has put so many ot bis opponent to sleep, are two factor In hi makeup that must al ways appeal to his admirers of the Ostio the advanced school ot pugilism In his contest tonight, and bis defeat must not be attributed to any lack ot close study on bis part of every trick tn the boxin; gam. Many of hi friends tonight feel that he ought to have gone up against smaller game than Sharkey. When McCoy sent Sharkey twice to the floor In the third round no one doubted the Kid's ability to hit hard, and many thought he had Sharkey at his mercy. This Idea was soon dispelled when the Irishman begun to get to his man. In the eighth round Sharkey began forcing the tight and kept It up through the ninth, in which round he forced ilcCoy to the ropes." In the tenth round th Kid kept skipping and ran Into a clinch, where he held Tom without a blow being struck, Shar. key, takine th advice of his chief sec ond, Tom O'Rourtte, played for the body, but McCoy effectually guarded himself. Then Torrt turned his attention to the body and landed on the ribs, with tho left, forcing McCoy. Sharkey turned his attention, to tho upper works, with McCoy springing to the right, Sharkey having a decided ad- ! vantage. The sailor let fly left and right, landing on the body and forcing MvCoy to the east end of the ring. Mc. Coy faltered and Tom caught him with a left swing on the neck. McCoy tell to the lloor, with his head hanging over the ropes, looking Imploringly around. The Kid lay there helplessly, while the referee counted 10 seconds, after which he struggled to his feot and Sharkey, not knowing that the limit had expired, rushed at him once more, this time swinging his right on the neck Just be. low the Jaw, McCoy falling- again. Ref eree Tim Hurst waved his hand to Sharkey to retire to his corner, saying at the same time, "I counted McCoy out on the other fall. You have won." CUBANS SOON TO HOLD IMPORTANT OFFICES. Will B Appointed to Many of the Mu nicipal and' Federal Positions in Havana Many Americans Sick. NEW YORK. Jan. 10. A dispatch to the Tribune from Havana says: Ap. polntments of Cubans to Important of- Makes the food more sovAt him nrf?v a n flcea In Havana will soon be made. It Is announced that Parfecto Ln C"t. who was president of the H.ivana Jimu, will be named as mayor. Genera) Mm. ocal will accept a position under General Ludlow. Civil (lovernor D Castro has aoked the acceptance of hla rcsiiiniitlon and will remain In office for only a few day. Bv placing Cuban in prominent position ome of the responsibility for minor position will be shifted to them. The Insurgents have been complalnlna that appointment already made In th custom bous and other place have gons to Oman who stayed at home during th fighting. When leading Insurgents are In chief positions, complaints will hav to be directed against them rather than against th American authorities. Som friction exist In the army over the government of Havana. It waa sap. posed that Waahlngton orders creating a separat department with General Lud low In command wer explicit enough to prevent conflict of authority, but th! expectation ha not been fully realised. Tho present turmoil relate to tho con trol of th Havana, pollc fore. When General Green waa here Colonol Moulton, of the Second Illinois, which wa then at Savannah, wa designated a military chief of police at General Green' request II ha been orgaru. izlnr a fore with the assistance of ex. Chief McCullagh. of New York, More recent plan contemplate plac!nr th department under tbe control of Colonel Evan, formerly governor of South Caro lina and now on General Law ton's staff. This uncertainty retards ih organisa tion. Cuban political prisoners who were de ported to African settlements are pro. testing the choke of two brother named Martlnes who have een retained by Colonel Moulton. They charge that one ' of these brothers wa a member ot th Weyler scret police and responsible for atrocities then committed; the other on i charged with complicity In various at rocities. All these charge are denied. The Martlnes brothers are said to be uaeful because of their knowledge of the NanL goes and other criminal sPclctUv lrt Havana. Cuban officers are holding meetings dally trying to determine their own' status. A majority of them are Inclined to co-operate with . the American au thorities and Jo facilitate the outband. ment of the Insurgent soldiers If any pro vision can be made for their payment.' They have given notice to Gomes of their views and In order to retain his Influenc Gomes will have to leave hi camp in Santa Clara province and put hunmlf In touch with event m Havana. Re. cent report represent blm a more con. dilatory toward the American authori ties. Th explanation la made for hira that his recent order directing th re organisation of the Cuban force In Santa, Clara and Puerto Principe wa not meant to apply to those who had found work, but intended to bring under control soma lawless bands that were seeking to throw off all authority. Cuban leaders In Havana are disclaim. Ing responsibility for the doings of Julio Sangullly. He ha been the cause ot some broils and invited quarrels. They say as Sangullly never com manded Insurgent troops he baa no fol lowers and represents only himself. An official statement has been made that during th Interim In which Spain la without a consul general, the Interests of Spain's subjects will be looked after by the French consul. The foreign consul have not yet received Instructions from their respective governments defining their status with reference to the Ameri can military authorities. Sickness among American civilian la causing uneasiness. Mr. Doane, the cus. torn house inspector, Is the only one who has yellow fever. . The health ot tho troops Is good. Evidences of financial speculation wer apparent today when Spanish silver took a Jump upward of five per cent, Th amount In the Island has not materially diminished and American silver Is get ting Into circulation. FIRE ON A JAPANESE CRUISER. SEATTLE. Jan. 10 News by the steam er from Japan says: The second class Jupaneee cruiser Kaimon Kan haa reached Amoy, a partial wreck, as the re sult of a fire that ibroke out during a. storm at sea. Several of the crew of tho cruiser were burned to death and many others badly Injured. The Kaimon Kan was a wooden vessel of the oly style and had on board a number of soldiers, "be sides her regular crew- When a few days out and in the midst of a gale, a Are was discovered In one of the bunker to the rear of her engines. Tho Japanese crew behaved with great bravery and streams of water were soon pouting on' the Are, At this juncture an accident to the machinery made it necessary for some ona to go down tho alley. It was a case of almost sura death. Two men volunteered to go down. Before they got to the machinery In need of repair the smok overcame them. No one would go In after them and the . fire soon consumed their bodies. Tho engines were kept running or the vessel surely would have foundered. Th vesael Is repairing at Amoy.
