VOOI., SCATTERING AlWtLNTAXD PAIRED- TOTIj ......... ..... . . . . ..... .. ,?. From Saturday's Dally.) Yesterday's session of the Legisla ture waa a very tame affair Indeed, v and was almost entirely without feat ure. The only exceptions being the sharp but brief debates occasioned by f 7 some offers of amendments to the till providing for a fire boat for; Portland, which was passed In the Senate, and -the passage of the bill creating the county of Stockman out of Crook and Wasco counties In the House. fej No opposition developed in the House ; to the passage of the bill creating ' Stockman county by taking awa : parts of both Wasco ar.d Crook coin- jrtln. and making Antelope the tern iorary county seat, and It passed this . morning. UurKess, of Lake. ; spoke in '"favor of the bill, and but four votes were entered against it, The people behind the measure are free to admit that there will be some trouble when . the matter comes up in the Senate. Both, of Columbia, of the sptcial - committee to examine the bill provld Ing for an opportunity being given the voters of Columbia county to vote on a change In the county seat, moved that it be .referred back for amend- . inent to this same special committee. " Shelley, of Lane, objected, saying this bill should be referred to the commit . tew on towns. ,- He declared there was i some opposition manifested by the peo , pie of St. Helens to having the county ii seat moved to Rainier. . Edwards, of Lane, supported his colleague but their . motion was lost, and the bilk went back to the special committee. As to the vote on Senator It was ' siutply a. mechanical farce, ana de veloped no new features to the situa tion' being simply gone through with as a matter of form or to live up to toe provisions, of the law. ' -As the adherents of either faction ' were non-communicative yesterday. having their minds centered more on spending the Sunday at their homes than upon trivial Senatorial affairs, -nothing of a definite! fialt-ra could be 'gleaned.. j Both the Fulton and Geer forces are quite confident of success, but Senator Fulton seemed to be in a more per turbed and uneasy State of mind than usual and it was said that tninss" were not shaping up to suit him. Although there are all ; sorts of rumors of combinations afloat, none of them could be traced -down to a. sub stantial foundation, and the situation remains practically the same with no prospect of a change, and there can be no Intelligent summing up of thl situation until Monday, when. If anyH change at mil is to take place during the week it will become evident. The Fulton forces are confident that the Multnomah delegatlotj. will break in Fulton's favor early 1 thfs week, whlls the Geer people. , rhon ap proached upon the subject wink know ingly and say that It Is impossible, and thatv while they are willing to concede that Fulton's strength will probably reach thirty-nine, they i declare that he can get no more and will not be elected. -: . . ' i ' ' .'J'-' Fulton is exerting every effort to bring about a caucus, but his efforts 5 a re in vain, which accounts for his un easiness and unrest. A supreme effort In this direction was no doubt at tempted In Portland last night, but severs! among thoae who went down waid ttukt It would ' be useless to at- Itlvely but respectfully declined to itempt it for it remained with tn Multnomah delegation, and they pot- caucus except among themselves. A conference of the Multnomah delega tion will be held on Monday nlgkt. when. It Is possible, some change of action may be decided upon. I u The joint assembly yesterday was a jdeddely tame and uninteresting affair. Ther were no changes and nothing new in the Senatorial vote developed. , A number were absent and some were paired. The result of the vote was as follows: Fulton, t: ' Geer. 15; Wood. llS: Plttock. S; Mills. 4; Williams, a; Sears. 1; Mallory, 1: Wolverton. 1; SENATE, ijlfv- ;.T: FYlday Morning.)

By the adoption of the McGinn reso lution there are ' twenty-four special clerks employed in the Senate, besides the regular allowance under the Kuy kendall law. All of the Senators ex cept six. who opposed the resolution so strongly, have availed themselves of the privilege and an individual clerk -ac cordingly.' ; ' i Senator Knykendall for several days after the resolution had passed, was as sailed from all quarters by a horde of female beauties, but he was invulner able and would not yield, claiming that he had no use for an extra clerk; that he had a principle at stake, which he incorporated in the Knykendall law, and that he would remain true to that principle, come what may. There was a question arose, subse- guent to the passage of the resolution. as to whether It was legal and whether the clerks would be entitled to pay from the state, but It seems that the matter has died out and will probably be pass ed over. -r ': : i.--'--.

BOIIBARDMENT IS CONTINUED San Carlos Still in Possession of Government ITHE GERMAN COMMANDER Reports to His Government That He Has Destroyed the Fort VENEZUELAN GUNBOAT KES i TAURABOR "NOW IN GERMAN POSSESSION, AROUSES ANGER i AT LA GUAYRA SITUATION RE GARDED AS COMPLICATED. MARACAIBO. Janu. 23.-At 2 o'clock this afternoon fort San Carlos was in possession of the Government forces, and the bombardment" by the" German warships was still going on. There has been no material change in thex situa tion. The gunboat Panther was th only vessel to come inside the bar. Communication with the fort is very difficult. Great excitement prevails in Maracaibo. '.'. ( v - . La Guayra. Jan.' 23. The former Venezuelan gunboat Restaurador, now In possession of; the Germans, arrived here at 2 o'clock from Puerto Cabello i and anchored near the short. Her presence caused great popular Indigna tion. At 3 o'clock several rifle shots were; heard i the distance. Shortly afterward the' ! Restaurador left her anchorage and ' moved to a position outside the harbor and under the pro tection of the guns of the British cruiser Tribune. Says He Destroyed It. ' Berlin. Jan. 23. Commodore Sched er. commander of the German fleet In Venezuelan watersw-reported. the bom-1 bard m en t of fort San Carlos under date of January 21st as follows: ? "On the 17th instant while the Pan ther was passing Maracaibo bar she was unexpectedly attacked by fort Srtn Carlos, which opened a heavy fire on her. To this the Panther replied, and the cannonade was exchanged for a half hour. , Owng to the difficulties of navigation the Panther then desisted, f "In order to exact Immediate punish ment for this attack, more, so as the Venezuelan Government -had proclaim ed it a victory. I bombarded the fort with the Vineta on the 21st instant and destroyed It, . . May Complicate Matters. Washington. Jan. 23. Today's meet ing of the Cabinet was one of the most Important held In several weeks. Sub jects of great moment were discussed fully. All the members of the Cabinet were present and alt sides of the Co lombian treaty and the Venezuelan sit uation were discussed at length, but' it can be said by authority that no change In the attitude of the United States is In contemplation at this time. i . The Government will continue its policy i of "sitting tight." The bom bardment of San Carlos by the German warships is regarded sincerely by the officials of the administration because of their apprehension that it may com plicate seriously the pending negotia tions.
