Davis, with llourne, U'lten and Bark ley will do ihat In the house so that President Simon and Speaker Davis may meet -md adjourn from day to day and thus prevent the culling of an extra r-csslon for the next two years. Ah, well. The Benson bouse by a resolution has declared vacant the seats of the populists, free silver, hi-metallics and Minion republicans who have been obstructing the organization of that body. Now if Gov. Lord recognizes the right of the Benson house to do this, he will order special elections in those counties where the vacancies bare been made. In Yamhill Guild end Gill may run again. Marion will trot out Barkley and Craig. Clacka mas can have another whack at U' J ten and Jackson, can down that ob Hruction 1st who has quarreled with Jils party, while .In Multnomah '.Bourne and Simon ean again test the strength of their popularity. There is really amusement ahead, But sup Kwe the governor does not erder eclal elections. A story is current in Portland that a year or more ago Joe. Simon pro posed a political partnership lo then Mayor Frank, by which Bimon. Gov. lord and Frank should agree on a policy and thus control the patron age of the state, the city of Portland and what might belong to Oregon from Washington, 1. C. It is not known what Gov. Lord's reply was, or even whether the proposition was made to him, but Mayor Frank de clined. The result was that Simon turned against him and influenced the Oregonian to do the same. Frank's sudden death a few months later Is not thought to have been de layed by the vituperative attacks made upon him by the Simon Bourne combine which is known to have been entered into shortly after Frank refused to be a party to the shady proposition. The war in Crete which last week seemed to have been satisfactorily settled has tlaimed up again. The (towers bonitHtrded the insurgeants and their Greek allies. On Sunday last the insurgcants before Cam-, which are the Christians, advanced and skirmished with the Turks who bold possession of and defended the city. The foreign war-shli In port, to-wil: Cruisers from the Knglish, the French, the Austrian, the Ger man and the Hussian Heels opened tire on the insurgeants and ceased only when the Greek flag was lower ed. Fifteen Christians including three nuns were wounded. An r mistic of one wevk has been arranged Is-tween the insurgeants and Turks. This was secured on the suggestion of the foreign admirals. Greece de clares that diplomatics relations with the F.uropean powers will be broken on if a second bombardment occurr. That means war between Greece and tho rest of Kurne. Public opinion In Knglaud seems to favor Greece and the Christians, while the govern ment sustains the bombardment. The function of the powers In the matter seems to le the maintaining of peace In Crete and preventing Mood-shed an aim that seems worthy of modern civilisation, but which is neglected by the I'nited States In Cuba, where Spain is permitted to commit, the grossest atrocities not only upoa Cuban insurgeants but lipofl Americans cit liens. At tbe appointed time Io January the legislature cam together. Tbe senate quickly organised, but there were elements In the house that were arbitrary. Sixty men, strangers to each other, met on that Monday morning, but tbe majority bad not by caucus settled on a plan. Chief Clerk Moody, In the Interest of, it U believed, President Simon of the sen ate called the house to order. He bad a right to do that, but he usper ed prerogatives wbicb a modest and iust presiding officer would not have done. Davis was nominated for tem porary speaker. llie repuoncan majority tried to ot a parwtt.le l nomination, but la Imitation of his chief, Simon, Clerk Moody refused to recognize any member ot the ma jorlty hence it could not get to ote for a favorite. It mattered not to the machine whether Davis was elected bv a malority or a minority. He was declared to have been elected, aud that was enough for the Simon Bourne combine. He appointed a committee on credentials accord Ing to the Holt law composed of Barkley and l"Iten, po ullsts; Bilyeu, democrat and Thomas and Stanley, republicans. Thomas ouirht to have been chairman ot tbe committee according to the custom which makes the mover of a ques tion the chairman of the committee raised. But Davis had other in structions. This committee never did agree. Three minority reports are said to have been made. Two candidates for speaker developed. Bourne, populist, and Kiddle, re publican. The failure of the com mittee on credentials to report promptly threw the organization over, in the mean time Bourne un covered that he did not have votes enough to elect aud Kiddle failed to to get the caucus nomination, not proving a favorite. When Bourne discovered he could not be elected, ho, with his populist votes, refused to enter the house, or to take the oath of office. The republicans were In their seals each day ready logo to work, but while they were a major ity, they were not uumerous enough to make the two-thirds majority re quired by tbe constitution. The repub licans In caucus selected Hon. Ben son for the republican candi date for speaker. The .Oregonian charges that Mitchell put his hand In the kettle to draw out the speaker. That personal or gun looses sight of the lai't that Mr. Sim on bad his nana where it or rignt ought not to have been. Tbe bouse begun to study the situ ation to determine its rights. The most eminent legislative authorities in the land held that a majority of the house can organize. True, Sen ator Morgan held differently, but it is conceded that his welt known free silver views had warped his judg ment and it is a cause for wonder that the Oregon ian ever quoted him. A majority of the house organized by selecting Beuson speaker. This organization was not recognized by the senate. Indeed President Simon would not receive the message of ficially announcing the organization hence the senate never was erin it ted to vote on the question. No other branch of the government would recognize the organization On the second Wednesday after or ganization an attempt was made to hold a Joint convention of the senate and house to elect a U. S. senator. A quorum for this Joint convention Is 4(i members, but that number was never brought together, though they lacked but one the day Senator llazeltine changed front and two the lay Senator Carter made his memor able sech. One the latter occasion two democrats had given their pledge to attend the convention but changed their minds about 30 minu tea before the time for assembling. No vote for IT. H. senator was ever taken, so it Is not known how many votes Senator Mitchell really had, though by an open ballot in caucus of republican legislators be received 47 votes. There Is no evi dence that any of these would have refused tti vote for him In joint convention. Were there any efforts on the part of the republicans to compromise? Messengers from the Benson house waited on President Simon to get him lo use his influeuce toward bringing the runaway populists in. He expressed bis wil lingness to use his good offices If the Benson house would count its organization for naught and 1st elect Bourne, 21 abandon Mitchell whose name must not be used in tbe house or in Joint convention for U. S. Sen ator. Bourne was seen and, asked if an organization was possible. "Yes, elect me speaker and drop Mitchell for U. S. Senator." Kepuhlicau thus aw Ihat they could not go into the house except as pledged men to a minority. They refused the terms. There were never any compromise offered, Simon and Bourne demand ed an unconditional surrender. All the machinery for legislation would be in the hands of the advocates of free silver, the party which the re publlcanssodisliked, (he parly whose coinage views only a few short month ago were so dreaded by the people of the nation and would it be believ ed. The Oregonian has put one man above principal. Kverybody thought that the paper would support princi pal rather than oppose an individual but not so It consorted with Bourns and Barkley and I" Ken and Bel yiau, the most uncompromising ad vocate of a debased currency In the state or nation. Under no circum stance would they have gone to the Oregonlsa's sound money platform. Senator Mitchell repeatedly asked his supporters to unite on another may for senator but they as often re plied that they would go In Joint con vention free men-unpledged or they would not go at all. When the repub lican majority saw no hope of organ ization for work and when the 40 days bad expired they adjourned and come home, 17 from the senate and 82 from the house. There are left in the senate 13 ami in the Davis rump house 28. It Is said that Barkley, U'Ken, Craig, Guild, Gill, Emery and the rest of the populists secretly took the oath of office so there would be an excuse for not obeying the order of the house that declared their seats vacant. Tbe Oregonian commenting on the break up fctatea that steps will be taken to get 20 senators In their seats and then the Davis house will organ ize and compell the attendance of the Benson house to make 40 mem bers when legislation will be begun. Good. But while that 20 and that 40 are assembling a 30 and a 60 will be on hand to preveut a Job lot of legl lation from being enacted. Simon has not yet got his Board of public works enacted. and thefOregonlan has not got the law creating the state Board of Equalization repealed. WHO ARE KRSPOSSlBLEt Forty days have passed since the men elected by the xple of Oregon in June last, pledged by the plat forms of the several candidates to give by needed legislation some relief to an over-taxed suffering constituen cy, assembled at Salem with the pro posed object of redeeming theso pled ges aud Ihat much needed relief is no nearer, if as near, accomplishment as when the polls were closed on the first Monday in June. Tbe all im portant question for the people of Oregon to determine and which they will determine in good time is who are responsible for this betrayal of thesr interests. And what Is t he motive or motives that has In fiueuced a part of the men they have honored, to so recklessly violate their solemn pledges. It is scarcely necessary to hunt for further evidence in the matter when the leading spirits that have mauaged this conspiracy, publicly announce that they are influenced by no purer motive than revenge. The organ and advisor of the unpatriotic bold up informs its readers that it is the result of a determination on the part of a combination made in Portland after the result ot the senatorial con test two years since, was determined for the express purpose of defeating John II. Mitchell. This throws some light on the disloyalty, shown by these would be Portland dictators to the republican nominees for the most important offices in the state as well as the questionable methods used by Simon, Scott A Co. to secure control at the primary elections in Portland last spring. The June election however deter mined one tact, that the majority of republicans of the state of Oregon were satisfied with the record of J II. Mitchell as a senator and had con Hdence in his loyalty to the princi pies of republicanism. The efforts to carry out this policy of revenge to gratify these Portland bolters met with little success outside of Mult nomah county and a large majority of republicans elected were opeu ad vocates of Mitchells election. His enemies were fully aware lbat if he were defeated it could only be done by a combination of demo-pops and Simon republicans and not even then if the legislature was organized and a vote for senator permitted. Secur ing the tetnporaty organization, the demo pops and Himonites have for forty days refused to complete the permanent organization unless large majority of the republicans will pledge themselves under no con dilion lo vote for Mitchell for U. S. sehator. No man of Integrity would sacrifice his manhood and the ex pressed wishes of his constituents by cravenly accepting organization un der such an unheard of condition II is more than suspected that on the part of some of this hold-up gang at least, there is besides the bpposi lion to Mitchell a determination to prevent organization unless it shall is? sucn mat will enable these con spirators to defeat all economical leg Nation. The hold-up Is endorsed or excused by all that class who by useless commissions or otherwise are fattening on the public funds wrung from the hsrd pressed, over-taxed people. The meat important com mittees already appointed in lb senate are an unerring Index of the legislation intended to be enacted, or enaction prevented, by the house over which Simon presides. Organization of the lower ho ise under his control with Jonathiin D urne, Kiddle, Iavls or any other of his willing tools as Saker would be worse than no or gsnization. The tax-payers of the state want no organization under such conditions and controlled by this hold up gang. Their revolution ary proceedings thus far are not such as wonld encourage the people to willingly submit to their factional control. They have done all the harm the ople feel disponed lo bear It Is to be hoped that they will ad journ at once if they know how with out further disgraceing the state and return to that obscurity that they deserve, if they deserve anything. Those who wish to perforin the du ties pertaining to their position are at present handicapped by the arbi trary rulings of the president of the senate and his willing tool, the tem porary speaker of the house and can do nothing better than adjourn and go home. Krpi hi.Ii AX. ( I B11 KESOLl'Tltm The events of the past few tiny have turned the attention of the sen ate of the United States toward Cuba and barbarities practiced toward American citizens. Tbe reports of these which are believed tecause they are all but official caused three resolutions to be introduced in tbe senate on Wednesday which are given here in full : Allen offered the following reso lution: "Kesolved, That it is the sense of the senate that the president should speedily and effectually protect the lives aud liberities of peaceful Amer .cad ciii'Mjus .rbiuiiig or sojourning in Cuba, and that he should promptly Insist that Spain In her war against her colonies on that island, should conduct the same on principles of civilised warfare, eliminating all un usual and unnecessary cruelty and barbarity; and that, for the enforce ment of those reasonable and just requirements, United State battle- ships should be sent without delay to Cuban waters." Gray and and Wuay suggested that the resolution should go over until Thursday, ana tms order was made. Hill offered the following reeolu tlon, which was agreed lo without comment: 'Kesolved that the secretary state be and is hereby requested to transmit to the, senate either in open or secret session, as he may prefer, all the correspondence and tbe reports of the council-general of the United States at Havana relating to all American citizens now in prison on the Island of Cuba not previously re ported." With the adoption of this resolu '.Ian, Morgan took the floor and pre sented from the committe on foreign relations the following joint resolu tion: "That the government of the United States, demands the immedl ate and unconditional release of Julio Sanguiily, a citizen, of the United States, from Imprisonment under the charges that are pending and that are being prosecuted against him in the military and civil courts of Cuba, upon alledged grounds of re bellion and kid-napping, contrary to the treaty rights of each of raid governments, and in violation of na tions; and the president of the United States is r quested lo com municate tnis resolution to the go vernment of Spain, and to demand of that government such compensation as he shall deem first for the im prisonment and sufferings of Julio Sanguiily," (TBa'9 TERMS. 1 he Spaniard nave on aev eral occasions, unofficially, Intimated what terms would tie conceded to secure a reconciliation of tiie (Julian insurgents. The Cubans have not heretofore intimated what would tie accepted, but now the New York World is able to give) an autograph letter from Salvator Cisneros, presi dent of the provisional government ol the Cubans, which is countersigned by Gomez. The letter is approved by the cabinet and, therefore, may be accepted as official. The World has recognized correspondents, both with the insurgents and with the Span iards, so that its facilities may not be questioned. The document above described reads : "At the request of your correspon dent, we have the greatest pleasure In answering the following question " 'Do you believe Ihat the war can be ended on the basis of indepen deuce on the payment of an In demnity by Cuba to Spain with the United States as arbitrator?' "On the basis of independence, it will be possible to enter into nego tiations. They should provide for the evacuation of the island by the Spanish, aud for the future relations between Spain and the new Cuban republic. "We believe, also, there saould be included an indemnity lo be paid Spain, provided the amount ia rea sonable. This would be honorable, practicable and good for all. "But, if done, it should be done as soon as poNHiDie, ine indemnity should prevent the further loss ol blood and of money, and it would save the economic resources of the people w ho have sworn to the com plete dtwtruction of the island before they will submit anew to the do minion of Spain. Each day that passes eas-ses fresh haired and dsmmfatton. Soon the producing capacity of the coun try will be destroyed. Cuba can pay less as the time parses, not only be- cause each moment she earns less. but it will be increasingly difficult for her lo fulfill the stipulation and agreements she ia now able to make. The indemnity to Spain to take the form of acknowledgment by Cuba of a part of the debt already contracted by Spain, or the payment of a sum in bonds or money to Spain. "We would not deem it advisable for the I'nited States to Intervene as arbitrator or semiofficially at the friend of both sides, providingalways the the island of t'ula shall not sac rifice her own sovereignty.

THE lOLl.aKli KIVKK FISHERIES. Last year there was serious trouble on the lower Columbia ltween lie fishermen aud the canneries which was brought to an end only by send ing a regiment of the Oregon Nation al Guard to Astoria. As the time for active oirations approach, some anxiety is felt touching the same dis pute and the attitude of tbe contend ing parties is watched with increas ing Interest. A correspondent who is in touch with the fishermen sends these para graphs which may have an interest to those studying the problem and may help to a knowledge of bow they feel in the matter.' The Corres pondent states: The fishermen have wisely concluded that the pol icy worthy of adoption in their ef fort to offset farther oppression upon the part of a well organized system is to meet it in commercial competi tion by the erection of canneries and with these abolish the old stereo typed method so much in vogue thoughout tho country. The com bines price of four cents offered the fishermen for the coming season's catch hss been Ignored. Later, four and a half has been advanced by some of the canneries but they also have been treated with Indifference. In the mean time the work upon their large cannery No. 1 Is steadily going on with seemingly an ubundance of mouey lo warrant its completion. The employment of Chinese has al ways been as a thorn in the side of the fishermen. To have them super ceded has ever been his wish and all efforts lo dislodge them, this almond eyed celestial, without the use of force, has been ineffectual. A matter which seems singularly strange when you find upon Investigation that the wages paid them through the con tract system are comparatively bet ter than white labor is .receiving elsewhere. I have been informen upon what would be accepted as good authority, that when it was under stood that the fishermen would not employ other than white help in their establishment, the Chinese ipened negotiations with the princi pals, offering a loan of f "i0,0H0 as an inducement for them to reconsider that part of their plans. It is almost unnecessary to say their overtures were fruitless. Yours, K. B. Senator G. W. Patterson returned on tbe evening train'of yes'.erdiiy. He states that the Simon senate adjourn ed till today.' So a quorum of 20 is all that the Oregonian wants in tbe senate. Thirteen votes for the machine makes good working majority when 20 senators are present, but when 30 are there and 17 of them are republicans, the matter wears another aspect. The Oregonian probably truly state that there are not ten members of the legislature who have pledged them selves lo Mitchell. They go into the organization unpledged that is the republicans and a few deiiiocrtds. The populists and Simon fellows re fuse to assume the duties of office un- lens the Benson house, all, will make pledges. This they will not do, hence the hold-up. There will Is? free men in the house of representa tives and that is right. The Mwers have agreed what shall lie done with Crete. The island hall have "antonomy" which being Interpreted means self government. The Turkish troops and administra tion roust be withdrawn as quickly as possible, w hile Greece w ill Is? re quired to evacuate the island and withdraw her ships. If Greece re fuses, Piraeus will be blockaded. It Is not stated what will he done should Turkey refuse to oliey thespreement. That Is the cause of the present trouble the neglect of Turkey to ; carry out the reforms written by the the Powers in 1H7S. If Greece is IT WILL PAY YOU TO SEND FOR STARRETT'S Catalogue ...OF...
