WASHINGTON. Feb. 2j. The vote
in the senate today, on taking j up for

decisive as to cause some 'surprise- It
is known that ome senators, who will
vote if the opportunity be offered to
scat Quay, today voted against the con
sideration of the case while, on the con
trary, others who voted for considera
tion probably will vote against seating
him. The vote cannot therefore lie re
garded as a test of Quay's absolute
strength in the senate. ;
The detailed vote on the taking up
of the case is as follows:
Yeas Allison. Bate, Beveridge. Car

The formal announcement was madt
that the republican conference would b
held at 8 p- m. toniorrow. The lead
ers continues to express the, belief tha'i
the bill will pass, but the impression u
growing that a motion to, reconmnji
the bill to the conwroktcc on,ways anct
means will command much, suportl,
ami niay prevail. Underwood, th i
democratic "whip," today. sent out tele
grams to all absent democrats to bi
present nn Monday when the votinc'
may begin. Littlefield's speech was th
feature of the .day. He added to hi;
laurels, won in the Roberts debate, bj
a speech against the. bill which, for
brilliancy, wit and logic, rivals' the be&:
efforts of the recognized orators of th
house. He made a profound inures
sion. and when he concluded, it wa
several minutes' before the demonstra
tion that followed could be quelled.

ROBBED BE LOCAL COURTESANS
By Soma CUvttr Dtetl Work. Chief of
Potlc VL W. tillMoa ReoTfr 3t5
-KoArmU Md.
(From Daily, Feb. 25th.)
Probably the boldest robWry of fhe
kind ever conrmitfed in the Capital
City, took place on Friday njght when
a prosperous. Chough ' unspphisticaled
and unsuspecting farmer,' residing near
Fox VaHey in Linn county, fell among
t-Ainpanions in this cityand was re
lieved of $605 in gold. J Through
some veryi shrewd detective work, how
ever, on the part of Chief of Police D.
W, Gibson; $525 of the amount was
recovered and restored to the poorer,
but wiser granger.
The local police officers having
agredd to suppress the name ot the vic
timized farmer, it was impossible last
night to ascertain his name, although
it is, known that he is a well-to-do Ger
man farmer, Iving near Fox Valley. I
J On Friday afternoon the Linn county
farmer went to 'Albany, where he drew
$600 in gold from the bank, commg to
Salem on he afternoon train. - During
the evening he indulged in a few drinks
and at 3 o'clock Saturday morning was
landed in the city jail by Police Officer
Smith for drunkenness. The man act
ed in a demented manner when arrest
ed and Officer Smith, not suspecting
that he had been drugged,-thought the
man insane. However, he wasf lotked
up in the city jail.
When Chief of Police Gibson reached
flie city hall yesterday morning and
visited the jail, the farmer related his
troubles, alleging that on the preceding
night he had been relieved of $5. So
confused was the man's intellect that,
by the closest questioning. Chief Gib
son could ascertain nothing from him
coiK-ernjng his escapade of the previous
night. However, Chief Gibson was
Impressed by the story of the German,
who appeared to be a very respctable
individual, and resolved to give the
case some investigation.
Chief Gibson made numerous, inquir
ies in the different saloons and finally
found trace of his sorrowing German
farmer. He was last seen' Friday night
in company with a local Character,
known as McGinnis. whose, mistress
conducts a house. of ill-fame bn Ferry
sireet. This was the first tangible clew
the chief had to aid him in ferreting
out the guilty parties, die again inter
terviewed the German, (from whom, by
persistent questioning, lie finally learn
ed that the German's iast recollection
of the night of his expensive adventure,
was that he was in the rear end of a
saloon with two women. one 3f vho;ir
was a cripple. This was another link
to the chain of circumstantial evidence
that was being woven about the part'ts,
whom, by this time, Chief Gibson had
every reason to sttspec' of the cifimc.
Having no direct testimony or evi
dence upon which a conviction jof the
parties suspected, could be -secured.
Chief Gibson resojved t make a strong
bluff in the hopes that the parties would
divulge the truth and produce the' stol
en money in order to avoid criminal
pn secution. lie went directly , to Mrs.
McGinnis premises on . Ferry street,
where he encountered the mistress her
self, to whom he addressed himself as
follows: '"Mrs. McGirwiis, I will give
you just one hour to deposit with me,
at my office, every, cent that you robbed
of that farmer last night." The wo
man wished to argue the matter with
the chfef, but he would not listin, hes
itating only to remind; her that if she
dl not comply with his command in
the specified time he "lyould issue pa
pers for her arrest, and then left the
house. ; ' - . i . - .
Chief Gibson had not; been' in his of
fice fifteen minutes, when Mrs, Mc
Ginnis, accompanied byj one of her girls
known as 'Myrtle Iiiey, entered the
building. The woman (was ordered to
produce the money forthwith, and to
the complete and utter astonishment of
the chief, the two prostitutes handed
him $525 in gold, saying (hat vas all
they received from the ma.i. They de
nied having taken the jnoney from the
farmer, explaining that he had pre
sented the money to them -.luring the
evening, $20 at a time. This part of
their story is very improbable and is
not credited. When the women had
thus emptied their purses, they were
permitted to return td their place of
resort. ' f
Thus far no arrests jiave been made,
but the matter is being investigated by
District Attorney S; jL. Hay.len and
there may ; be further develo.jnjcntSi
At any rate, it is very likely the par
ticipants in the robbery"will be invited
to "move oh." The house conducted
by this woman has for some time had
an unsavory reputation and - this cir
cumstance certainiy verifies any adverse
report that may be current concerning
the p!acc ; !

alike, it is a woman who "bunts; up the

Apropos of.tbi is a dining car un

Chicago railways, :Th is is to be run on

time and keep going. The buffet meet

dinner on the way to the theater, and
his after-theater supper on his way go

vention like that?
None, to be sure; but there'H 'soon be
no homes. There'll soon be no women.
If. men never came home to meals wo
men would never have any. .When a
husband telephones that he will stop
downtown to dinner, a good wife at
once tells the-cook to keep the roast till
next day and make tea. When the hus
band is out of town for . a week, the
good . wife saves enough on meals to
get a new bonnet, or something pretty
for the house to surprie him when he
comes back. Women generally eat to
keep men company rather than to at
istfy the creature in 'themselves.
Ob., yes, there are. advanced bache
lor women nowadays who eat anyhow.
But what of that? Such women invari
ably come to a sudden end die of ap-.
oplexy or get married.
This is a utan's world from the begin
ning, and forever, and if street dining
cars have combined with chafing dishes
to render the domestic women sujier
tluous. an Eveless Eden that's what
the millennium will he. "
