As , the ! hour approached- indeed, as
it went by for finaj adjournment, 11
became evident that either the friends
ofttie Clatsop county man wouia lorce
hi election, or else there would be a
dead-lock: to the end, ana Oregon
wokiid have a vacant seat in the United
Stat- Senate. This It was tnai in
duce! Senator Hobson to change his
vote on the i next to the last ballot to
Mr. Fulton, giving him thirty-five votes.

vote to Fulton theretofore.

The time for rdjournnrent ha'df af'
rived and passed, and had the vote
been, announced without opportunity
being given for changes there, 'would

Then Nottingham of Multnomah
'hanged his vote from Scott to Fulton,
followed by Banks of Multnomah. Then,
in ?ui-k succession, the following mem

There were others on their feet ready
to change, but there was a great-.up-.
roar, in which President Brownell an
munced that Mr. Fulton had received
forty-six votes and was declared duly
elected. He had received only forty
five, however, but this was enough to
elect, a eighty-nine votes in jail were
cast The detailed account of; the de
ciding vote Is given below. i
'Senator-Elect Responds.
There were loud-calls for Mr. Fulton,
and he finally reached the platform and
was introduced by President Brownell.
who aid that In the election just re
corded had been shot to pieces the last
vstige of sectionalism in this state:
thjat hereafte a man might aspire to
bi United States Senator, though he
lifed in Astoria or Ashland or on the
uttermost borders. - -
jln responding to the overwhelming
greeting with which he was received,
Mr. Fulton said he had oftentimes heard
tat words are inadequate for ex
pressing ... the sentiments of the heart,
hut he had never before been so sensi
tive of the truth of it. He promised
that he would give the state his most
faithful services and devote the most
unremitting attention to the duties of
the high office. He said he would not
K to Washington as the representa
tive of any one locality, but of the en
tire state. He had been pained, he
said, by the reports during the struggle
that he would represent only a par
ticular section. He said he would un
dertake to prove to the people of the
great city of Portland that they never
had a better4 representative of their fa"
terests in Congress. He heartily
thanked the band of men who had so
steadfastly stood by him In the long
struggle.; He thanked every one who
had in any way contributed to hi suc
cess, and he declared that be would
bear no ill will towards his political
foes who. had made a manly and clean
fight for; their candidates, who " are
worthy and honorable-men. - He paid
n especially fervid tribute to Presi
dent Brownell, without whose help
he declared that he could not have hop
ed for success. ,'
Great s warms of people, who had
filled thei Capitol, surged up to shake
hands with and congratulate Mr. Ful
ton. . ; -
IN THE LAST HOURS.
As will be seen by the detailed re
port of the balloting, there were few
Incidents of an exciting nature .from
the ; time the voting; was commenced,
shortly after o'clock, till the hand
on the dial indicated nearlv n.
Then Senator Smith, of Multnomah,
arose to nominate Harvey W. Scott.
He declared that he arose to present
the name f a man concerning whose
ability there could- be no Question. He
dwelt upon the statement-1 that this
was a case of the office seeking the

man: that .this learned and dignified
gentleman is not seen coming into
the , lobbies and buttonholing the
members for their votes. He por
trayed Mr. Scott as the ideal type of
self-made gentleman. He: gave an
account of his early struggles from a
wood chopper to the exalted position
of one of the leading editors of the
United States or of the world. He de
clared that Mr. Scott towered among
the ertat men of the nation; he is a
giant among the giants of intellect.
He declared that if Mr. Scott should
be exalted to the position of United
States Senator the' voice 1 of Oregon,
BDoken on world questions, would be
listened to and would ; have great
weight. - ' - ( ; -.' - - . -
Malarkey. of Multnomah, seconded
the nomination of Mr. Scott in a bril
liant and brief speech. t
(At this point, Davey, of Marion,
arose to remind the members of the
Joint convention of their duty to , th
people of the state. 78,000 i of wbosn,
had declared for the election of Sena
tors by direct vote-. Hon. TV T. Geer
being the choice of 45.000 of them. "
''Senator Mulkey seconded the nomi
nation of Mr. Scott, and did so in a
speech full of oratorical; .flourish, in
words most appropriately chosen.
But all the oratory of the evening
. vi o.kvi fcuc cuius . "
was of . little effect. FThe Fulton sup- ntr Ifaas; advanced to third read
porters were deterroinedi! They d-- lnf "d J.81-. ' ' . .
era red that the v would stair with thir
man to the last, carrying the pro- -
gram through without .an election if
necessary. ; The rcombined strength of
the other Republican candidates was
not enough to elect, without any Dem
ocratic help. Some of, those, who
changed their votes to Mr. Fulton qn
the last ballot did so only In order to
break the dead-lock. In what seemed
to them the only way to break It and
secure an election.

One of the prettiest and most ef

twenty-second biennial session of the
Legislature was enacted In the Hall
of Representatives yesterday, after-
nhon when Representative Davey, ' of
Marion, presented to Speaker Harris,
on behalf of the members of the
House, an elegant solid gold engraved
watch and a fob with a gold locket
set with a gleaming and effervescent
solitaire diamond, accompanied by
one of the - most eloquently delivered
addresses betokening the esteem In
which the Speaker was held by every
member of .the House. The gift was
a complete and overwhelming surprise
to Speaker Harris. who. with great
difficulty and after a painful and elo
quent pause, , finally i: succeeded In
finding his speech and .expressing, his
gratitude which words could not express.

GRANT'S PASS; Ore, Feb. 23. To
prevent a repetlon of the great area of
the past with which this city has suf

an ordinance passed by the council for
bidding the removal of any wooden
building- within the fire limits from one
part to another. The Southern Pacific

are situated In the business portion of
the town, and which has more privileg
es than others ln the matter of con
structing wooden buildings within the
fire limits, is no restricted from doing
so. . All warehouses and buildings
erected by them In the' future between
Fourth and Seventh streets must be of
brick. The new roundhouse which they
have begun here to replace the one de
stroyed by fire last summer, will have
to be built of brick. , When the fire

brick structures. Grant's Pass will pre

session considering the Panama Canal
Treaty, and at 5:23 p. m. took a recess
until tomorrow at 11 o'clock. No vote
was taken on any of the amendments
which have been prepared by. Senator

committee against night sessions was
reached at a meeting of the committee
held during the afternoon at the re
quest of Senator Cullom, who has the
Columbian treaty in, charge and wished
the steering committee to advise aban
doning the night session.
The opponents of the Statehood Bill
never have believed that the measure
could be carried as a rider on the Post
office Appropriation bill in the Senate,
but friends of the measure have dis
covered that they have votes not only
to cairyout; this plan, but to overrule
the chair should he decide the rider was
not In order. Inquiry about the Senate'
today made the opposition apprehen
sive, though not convinced of this Item
and in the committee today, they said
that if such be the case it would mean
an extra session of Congress, and .that
the Apporpriation bill with the State
hood rider would be defeated. '
It was also found that the leaders in
the statehood fight were willing to as
sume the responsibility for this out
come. With this situation before them

cuss the possibility of a compromise.

the matter was canvassed at length but "
j without approaching an agreement.'

"THE POETRY OF THE ORANGE.'
"It appeals to you, when the fruit
hangs ripe and sweet on the tree late
I in February, or early In March. Then
th blosom break out, and the trees
are yellow. with golden globes, and
hlte with orange flowers. It may be
that flury of snow has whitened the
mountain tops, and then you have an
oacagrouno lor a tropical ior-
est. The air Is full of sunshine,- and
heavy with fragrance a night 'comes
on. and then, if the moon be shining,
you may hear at midnight through
open windows, the song of the mocking '
bird In the scented grove, and it never
seemed so melodious before.
