A SECRET CONFERENCE. thirty-one Were Present, Bat Accom plished Nothing. . Thirty-one members of the Mitchell joint assembly met at the capitol in Balem Monday and discussed the sena torial situation at length and in all its phases. It was a secret conference, but ' it is known that no formal action look ing either to continued support of Mitchell or his withdrawal was taken. Driver, SOmmers, Patterson of Marion, Taylor, Eeed, Gowan, Nosier, David, Veness and others spoke. Some of these advocated supporting Mitchell to the end. v " Tavlor made several earnest talks. It was to the effeot that, the interests of the Republican party were higher than those of any one man; but he added that , the members of this conference ought to ' have the right to name the candiadte, if it is seen that Mitchell cannot be elected. ' i ' ' - ; Reed wanted to fight it out on this ' line if it took all summer. He did not believe in allowing the minority to dic- 4 tate to the majority. Senator Patterson, of Marion, thought ; the thirty-one could afford to hold out in their present attitude, and he invit ed the opposition to "lay on, Macduff." There was some talk Monday that it was the purpose of the opposition to come in and organize the house during the afternoon. But it was without foundation. While the number of absentees from the Mitchell joint assembly was six, there was just one voluntary With drawal. That was Representative Mitohell, of Marion. Mr. Mitchell is no orator and did not think it necessary to set off any fire works in joint assembly, announcing his purpose. He simply stayed out, which is quite as 'effective as any way of getting at it. . , The Mitchell cause has suffered se verely through sickness. ' Representa tive Hudson, of Washington, who had ripAn in VA.d ninra lant WednefldftV. WAS sent to the Salem hospital. His phy sioian says he has typhoid- fever in a i mild form, and that he will probably ' not be able to leave his room for several weeks. Representative Wagner 'is ill at nis nome in roruana, ana it is buiu that it will not bp safe for him to ven ture out for several days, if, indeed, he can be here during the week. Repre sentative Vaughan is still quite sick, but he may be able to answer roll-call tomorrow, though this cannot be stated with certainty. The Davis house met at 11:45 Mon day night. Sixteen members ' were present. Adjournment was taken till five minutes after 12. When that time arrived, the house was again called to order, and adjourned till 9:30 A. M. Wednesday. ' - ..

It is known that he has definitely declared that he will not return. It was expect ed that Mitchell would formally with- Hrn-w. hut. ho fmrtPftrft t.n think ft Hnfiftfih unnecessary. .

Reed remained in the senate chamber during the entire time the convention was, in session. ' It is not known that his absence indicated an intention to stay out hereafter. '. There were . no speeches. After, the reading of the journal had been dispensed with, the convention, on motion of Senator Har mon, adjourned. " ' A number oi Kepubiican members ot , the opposition have received the follow ing self-explanatory dispatch: "New York, Feb. 15. Hon." George H. Hill, Salem, Or. : Failure to elect a Republican United States senator will jeopardize Republican' reorganiza tion of the senate March 5, and en danger tariff legislation.

The senate committee, appointed to exaimne . the ground of the proposed portage railroad between The Dalles and Celilo, was shown dver the ground Monday by a committee from the Com mercial Club of The Dalles. ' ; From now on to the close of the pres ent session of congress it is expected that everything not on the active list will make way for the appropriation bills, which must be passed before final adjournment on March 1.

' A stirring and very personal debate took place in the . senate at Salem Thursday afternori. - It arose primarily over the question of clerks, but it took a broader range, and covered the entire ground of the legislative hold-up and the candidacy of Senator Mitchell. Just after the senate met in the after noon, Reed introduced the following resolution: ! ' ; "Whereas, the organization of the legislature has not yet . been perfected and public business is being retarded and necessary legislation, such as ap propriations for publio purposes, abol ishment of useless and expensive com missions and other legislation promised the people of this state by all political parties, is being denied by the refusal of certain persons elected to the house, of representatives to qualify; and " Whereas, notwithstanding the facts aforesaid, and the fact that this senate is practically transacting no public business and there is no work for senate committee clerks to do, there is, never theless now employed by the senate committees, at publio charge, a , large number of clerks; and , "Whereas, None of the said clerks are engaged in the discharge of any public duty, and there is no probability of their services being immediately re quired; therefore, be it . "Resolved, That all clerks of senate committees be, and they are hereby, discharged, and no compensation shall be allowed any such clerk from and. af ter this date, unless the employment be hereafter authorized by the senate after perfect organization of the legis lature shall have been secured. " - Senator Dufur made quite a lengthy Bpeech in which he set forth his posi tion on Questions of economv. He was followpd hv Driver nnrl Mirh'pll nnA lOHUWeU UV UriVer ana JUlCUeil ana a number of Others, some of whom had amendments to tne resolutions as pre sented. A vote was finally reached.

Each day developed 1 ' In Germany asparagus is peeled be some fiery oratory, accusing the oppos- fore it is canned by the aid of a special ing faction of , blocking legislation. ' machine. - ' unursaay tnirty-seven members were present, eleven senators and twenty-six representatives. Senator Reed came in for the first time. Representatives Hudson and Vaughan sent letters ask ing to be excused on account of sickness. When the session convened it was the general expectation , that it would be purely perfunctory, but the were agreeably surprised, surprise was when Nosler's reached. Nosier arose and became intensely quiet, as spectators The first name was the house everyone thought that Nosier was going. to an nounce his withdrawal, tut the sequel proved a contrary intention on his part. - Nosier firBt spoke of his having been in his seat ever since the session opened, answering every rollcall and ready to do his duty. Said he: "I am ashamed to see such child's play and must enter my protest." Referring to Senator Carter's speech, he said: . , , Would it not have been better for him to have made the forty-first man instead of the forty-sixth?" ' Continuing, he declared that some -one was responsible for the situation. ' lble- for its recaloitrant members. The people would hold these responsible as individuals. ; . In conclusion Nosier said: , "I am here to answer to my name and I expect to be here to the end." Nosler's .speech was of peculiar in terest in view of the fact that his seat is to be contested when the house or Toi- n itj n 1 Nosler was elected as a Pop- ganizes, ulist. Senator Reed was the author of the next inoident. He said that he was oc- ' cupying the . seat of Representative ' Hudson, who was ill, and he would continue to occupy the seat as long as he, Hudson, was, absent. ' Reed then ' said: "I don't -come here as, a Mitchell man, but I will vote for him if I get a chance. I .on't propose to be held up by fifteen Populists, and I tell you lam 1 going to stay here now. " ' -. Reed then said he would like to ask what doctors were attending Vaughan and Hudson. He suggested that they might be jobbed by the opposition. Chairman Brownell appointed Reed, Patterson and Chapman a committee to see who was attending the sick mem bers. Reed's motion was not made ' seriously and was intended only as a "josh." Chapman continued the speechmak ing by saying he was here ready to re deem every pledge he had made. " :' The senate committee on judiciary. to which was referred Gowan's sweep- , ing salary bill, has considered the sug gestions of the various county delega tions as to the salaries in their respec- ' tive oounties. The Multnomah delega tion reoommended that the same sal-' aries be maintained for their county, but all fees and emoluments of what-: ever kind were cut off. The sugestion was adopted by the committee. Senator Mulkey proposes an amend ment to the road laws, providing that the viewers of a proposed road, when: damages are claimed by persons resid ing in the vicinity, - shall appraise damages at the same time they view the road. The notice of the proposed road is considered sufficient notice to all probable claimants, enabling such claimants to file their petition at the time of the hearing of the petition. .The measure ii thought to be practical and economical. - I We can afford to have you try all five flavors one after another of Schilling's Best , tea, and get your money back if you don't like any.

A SOLID BASIS. Gold is a solid basis of financial transac tion, and for business that's the best thing for us. It is so in the physical conditions. If by some carelessness or exposure to sudden cold the muscles of the back are contracted and stiffened, we have at once lumbago, or lame back, sometimes called "crick in the back," which is disabling and unfits all all who have it for any activity. Now, to get back to a solid basis of health and strength, St. Jacobs Oil should at once be used to relax the twisted muscles and re store to their natural condition. It takes' but a short time to perform the cure and the cure is certain. The back is then on a solid basis for strength and work, and noth ing will bring about the change like this great remedy for pain.

Downing, Hopkins & Company's Review of Trade. The wheat market in Chicago last week had a strong tone early, rallying lc, and then breaking 4c, the close be ing at a loss of 3 c from the close at the end of. the previous week. ' The range on May was 7S to 77 7-8c, with the close at 73 to 73 7-8c. , The for. eign situation afforded but little sub stantial encouragement and the spot trade in America was not broad enough to force the upturn that the decrease in visible supplies warranted. The condi tion of the trade in England is shown by the failure of a grain house in Bris tol, who were long floating California cargoes, the recent decline there of 15o from the high point being too much for them. Foreigners, both on the conti nent and in England, are long, and are placing great confidence in the strong statistical position. All the foreign papers are filled with bullish statistics, and have been for the past ninety days. Those sent uot lately have been a re hash of what the trade has been stuffed with ever since the advance started. There have been at least ten official Kussian crop reports, each differing slightly from the other. There also has been a fresh estimate on the world's wheat crop, the Corn Trade News latest making it 96,000,000 bushels ! short of last year. A few months ago Beerbohm was out with an estimate of 136,000,000 bushels short. It is gen erally conceded that the Argentine crop is short, as at this time of the year that country commences to ship heav ily, but last week it only sent about 20,000 bushels, against 800,000 bushels last year. Bradstreets estimates that the world's available supply will be 75,000,000 bushels, against 105,000,000 bushels last year, and. 181,000,000 bushels in 1895. Cash wheat is being held back all over the world for higher prices, and occasionally a section is heard from that has a little that it desires to sell.

C, Springfield, 111., and St. Louis failed to reduce the enlargement. After sis months' constant treatment here, my physician urged me to submit to a re moval of the gland., At this critical mo ment a friend recommended S.S.&., and laying aside a deep-rooted preju dice against all patent medicines, 1 be gan its use. Before I had used one bot tle the enlargement began to disappear, and now it is entirely gons, though I am not through with my second bottle yet. Had, I only used your S.S.S. long ago, I would have escaped years of misery and saved over $150." 1 This experience is like that of all who suffer with deep-seated blood troubles.
