TOTAL Yesterday's ballot, outside of the little by-play on th nart of Represen tative Galloway, whose lon speech "explanatory of his vote.' which turn ed out to be & Joke and for the time being caused a look of anxiety to speard over the countenances of the Pulton men. who thought the time for the Democrats to go over to Geer had arrived, was the same old story with out the slightest variation, and the interested pectators In' the lobby were keenly disappointed and have just about come to the conclusion that the matter wjll not reacha. settlement until the last day and night of the session! Something is doing, however, upon the outside, and great plans are being laid for the final wind-up of the con test which is liable to transpire at any time after the first of the week- As was stated in the Statesman yes terday morning, and has been predicted all along, there Is a strong probability of the Geer and Multnomah forces coming to an agreement early next week and decide upon a compromise candidate, whether it will be Geer or not cannot be said at this time, but already steps are being taken In that direction. It was reported yesterday that the Geer forces would hold a cau cus last night, but this failed to mater ialize, but the Multnomah delegation held a secret conference In room S of the State House last night and dis cussed the situation at length, but no information as to their v conclusions would be given ouL , ' - Representative Galloway has become tired of the monotonous way in which the voting for United States Senator has been gone through with for a week past, and yesterday offered - quite a sensation. 1 When his name, was called in the joint ballot, he. arose and made quite-a flowery little speech, and those who were not "onto the secret 5 were led to believe that be meant to change his vote. : VU, " L r -.- He said that for several weeks the joint convention had been voting for a Senator without results. " There had been a great deal said about ' what would happen from day to day. about promises being made, and about- in fluences being . made to j gain ' votes, which to him seemed to be all wrong. He thought the time had come to act. and stop all this d d foolishness. He said the Democratic party had been ; 1 15 ..A.13 ...... 6 blamed for everything real and unreal, but he failed to see how It could be blamed for the failure to elect a Sena tor. He said, the action I am now about to do may not be approved by my own party and probably will "not be by the majority party, but the time has come to elect a Senator, and I am willing to do my duty as I see It." He thought that his character might be assailed by some for taking this step, but then hewas only a Democrat from the foot hills of old Yamhill anyway. "There fore, Mr. President. I wish to be re corded as voting for Hon. C. E. 5. Wood for United States Senator." The bill which has been introduced ! Into ' the Legislature at the instance and recommendation of .State Game and Forestry Warden L. W. P. Quimby. providing for the protection of Chinese pheasants, ' for a term of three years, was up before a joint committee of the House and Senate yesterday, and an amendment inserted which, it is thought, will remove all opposition to the measure. The amendment pro vides that the season for killing pheas ants shall be open during the month of October only each year for three years in all counties In the state except Jackson, Josephine. Coos, Curry and Clatsop counties, and all parts of East ern Oregon. ' . '. - SENATE. ' . (Morning Session.) t Called to order at 10 a. m. No min ister wasr present to offer prayer, v .' S.
