TawT.ey, as Chairman of Committee of
Whole, Overruled Point of Order
Against the Appropriation and De-
' eided Questftm as to the Legality of
the Mileage.
WASHINGTON, Jaiu.30 The House
today voted unanimously to . strike
from the urgent deficiency bill the pro
vision for the second payment of mile
age to Senators and Representatives of
thfs Congress and then passed the ur
gent deficiency bill. The argument on
the. point of order- that the item was
not authorized v." by law turned on the
miestion of -whether this was the sec-
-nl
session of Congress, or merely &
rontimmtion of the first session con
vened November 9, on the call of the
president.
Messrs. Fuller, of Illionls, and Coop
er, of Wisconsin (Kep.), contended
there had been ' two sessions, while
Farter, of New Jersey, insisted that
hwause the new, sanction had been
riven for the meeting on December 7
tbe status of the session was not alter-
nL Tawnev. of .Minnesota (Ken.), as
rhairnian of the committee, of. the
whole, in, a carefully prepared opinion,
overruled the point 01 ruer against
the appropriation, saying the parlia
mntaryjquestion as to whether the ex
itiiiir law authorized the payment of
mileage was the point to be decided by
htm and the question as to whether the
mil'-ane should be received was f$r the
nmiiuittee to decide. . V- 'T

Before a small audience and in the-

nesed in Salem, the" Varsity" girls
last niffht went down to honor
able "defeat before the husky "school
mams ' from Monmouth.
To say that the Monmouth girls play
ed rough ball would, be stating it nnld
lr. Thev were much taller, heavier
and stronger than the local girls and
played as though" they thought the ob
ject of the game was to shoulder, shove
and hold.
The Wilamette girls played their us
ual came of good, clean straight bas
ket ball. Miss Lottie Randall aeted as
captain in the absence of her eister.
For the Normal girls Miss Leader
was easily the star,; making five bas
kets from the field. Seven fouls were
also called on heir. '
At the end of the first' half th score
stood 10-1 ! in favor of Monmouth,
which was increased to 17-3 by the end
of the second. Ten fouls were called
on each team, from which Willamette
scored three points and JMonmoutn
three. A return came to be played at
Monmouth was refused by the Willam

not declare war unless she is attacked
by Japan. This ' the will ef the Czar
and . tbe fundamental base upon which
the negotiations will be continued. At
St. Peteisburg it is believed Japan, de
spite her belligerent attitude, appre
ciates the madness of engaging in war.
"Russia is ready to give satisfaction
to the legitimate claims of Japan on
condition her interests are safe-guarded.
At this hour war j depends i upon
two eventualities: I An attack by

Is No Troops in Antung.
St. Petersburg, Jan. 30. "It will be
astonishing if .Japan : remains inflexi
ble," were the significant wonls of an
official in 'the foreign office - to" the
Associated Press this afternoon, in
speaking of the Russian response to
tha Japanese proposals, which will be
dispatched to. Tokio next' week. -The
remark was not intended to convey the
idea that Japan necessarily will accept
the full details of the. Russian proposi
tions, but rather if she is actuated by
the sincere desire to preserve peace,
Russia will offer a reasonable basis in
modus vivendi. t '
The report that a thousand Russian
troops are to occupy Antung is con
tradicted, it being intimated as this is
one of the Open - porjs of the United
States, the report might have been put
out to. arouse a renewal of the hostile
feeling in the United States. It has
been ascertained by the Associated
Press that there was practically no
division in the sentiment among the
Emperor'Sj advisors, at Thursday's
An unsuccessful attempt has been
made at the British Embassy here to
confirm the report cabled to the State
Department at Washingon from Tokio
that Ambassador Scott had pronounced
the reply to be made by Russia to th
last Japanese note as satisfactory. It
is known, however, that , Ambassador
Scott has expressed a hopeful feeling,
based on the Emperor's New Year de
claration. At the Japanese legation the present
moment is -regarded as critical and
there is no evidence of the belief there
that the reply,-will be acceptable.
More Trouble For China.
Paris, Jan. 30. Oscar T. Crosby,
the American explorer, has returned to
Paris from a trip to Central Asia,
where be explored parts of Turkestan
and Thibet never before visited by a
white man. On his way to Thibet Mr.
Crosby skirted Afghanistan, visited
Chinese Turkestan and later traversed
Kashmir and th Karakrum route,
probably one of the most difficult used
by human beings, to India.
nis investigation developed that
China was threatened from another
quarterj by her rear door, and that an
advance by Russia and Great Britain
in this direction may become as import
ant in its possible result to the United
States as the move, of th European
powers from the sea.; . .

! DIDN'T DIE SUDDENLY. J V
Mrs. P. D. Prunty Suffered x Lingering
Illness Before Final R.
'. lief Came.
Editor-Statesman: f U 5 - '
The Salem press ia writing the abit-t
nary of Mrs. Mary Prunty, wife of the
late Ta trick Prunty, of -Salem, has evidently-
been misinformed in regard" .to
her suffering and death. The press has
stated that ''Mrs.' Prunty 's, . death
came sudden, and unexpected, and that
she was in good health up to the time
of her death.! Mrs. Prunty was tak-
en:m."about November l,1Eoved from
Salem to' Wilbur, -where .she lived with
her daughter until death took. her. She
bore her suffering patiently planned
and settled up all her business, and was
ready tor meet death." The writer was
in her house on. the day of her death
and she called her grand , children- to
her and kissed them the last good-bye.
Mrs. Prunty gave directions' regarding
her funeral and burial some weeks be
fore she died.
. It is due the home in which "she suf
fered and died to say:.. Loving hands
ministered to- her every . deed.- The
laughter, Mrs. Benoit. was constantly
by her bed-side, and 'she, with her hus
band, stood ready to' make her last days
all that any one could make them, and
after death took Mrs. Prunty from
them they at once set to work to earry
out the wishes of the deceased. '

SLOW PROGRESS
ONLY THREE HUNDRED AND
.FIFTY-THREE VOTERS REG
, ISTERED SO FAR.
Total Number of Names Entered Upon
Registration Books in 1902 Was 5964
. -r As Many, if Not' More, Expected
to Register This Year A Compara
tive Table. . .
(From Sunday's Daily.)
Not a great deal of progress has so
far been made in the matter of regis
t rat ion, only 333 voters having regis
tered with the Marion count j clerk up
to the closing hour yesterday after
noon. However, this -is somewhat of
an improvement v over 1902, in which
year only 247 names were entered upon
the registration books during the first
month, January. The total number of
voters reeistered in the county two'
years ago was 3964, and it is expected
that fully as many, if not more will
have qualified when the books are fin
ally closed on the evening of May 15,
1904.
Five of the voting precincts of Mar
ion county Which appeared upon the
records heretofore have been abolished,
as follows: North Salem, South Salem,
Yew Park, Prospcet and Englewood.
The total number of precincts, in the
county, (thirty-nine) however, remains
the same, five new ones having been
created. They are: Salem No. 5,
which is composed of a portion of the
old North 8alem and Englewood ,pre
eincts; Cheinawa, composed of the re
maining portions of North Salem and
Englewood ; Salem No. 6, composed of
Prospect and a portion of. East Salem J
Salem No. 7, composed of the greater
portion of South Salem and a portion
of Yew Park, and Liberty, composed of
the remaining portions, of South Salem
and Yew Park precincts, ; and a small
portion of Sidney. The' number of
votes registered in 1902,. in each of the
five precincts which have been abol
ished was as ; follows: South Salem,
175; North Salem, 255; Yew Park, 190;
Prospect, 128; Englewood, 297.

JANUARY WINS' THE BOOBY.
Only Seven Glory Tickets Issued
the Marion County -;
Clerk.
by
(From Sunday's Daily.)
January was a dull month in Marion
county's matrimonial market, only
seven licenses 1 being issued by the
county clerk. The business, in this par
ticular department of the clerk's office
was considerable lighter than during
the corresponding month last year
when the county's iseal was affixed to
twenty-five of these precious docu
ments. Thirty-four were issued in
December, the closing month of 1903,
and it is probably due to this rush that
there was so little activity in the mar
ket during January, At any rate, the
first month of 1904 is entitled to the
"booby" prize for the least number
of glory tickets issued in the Marion
county1 clerk's eflice during a single
month.

A NEW ARMORY
GENERAL XTNZER THINKS COUN
TY SHOULD PROVIDE SUIT
ABLE BUILDING FOR CO. M.
Next Encampment to be Held In Cali
fornia, With Regular - Soldiers and
Troops From Five States Will Last
Two Full Weeks Congress Consider
ing Placing Militia in Part Fay.
- 1 (From Sunday's-Daily.)
Adjutant General W. E. Finacer was
a Salem visitor yesterday on business
in connection with his office and with
tbe Governor, The general abn in-
pee ted the quarters of Company M,"
of this city, and before leaving the city
staled in no uncertain terms to a
Statesman reporter ' that the eity of
Salem should have a new armory for
several rep sous, one f which was that
the present room was - unsafe for' a
body of men-to gather in.
Tbe general said jthere had never
been an armory above the first floor
which was - a satisfactory place in
which tc make the headquarters of the
militia conpany of tbe town. "Mult
nomah took the right stand in the mat
ter," said he, "and built a fine armory
for. the benefit of the Gregon National
Guard of thnt city. The value of such
an' organization to the state, and the
county" is not doubted' by anyone, and
it is the dnty of the county to furnish
a satisfactory armorv. This is the in
tention of the ' law 'providing for the
establishment of militia in the state,
and any city fortunate enough to ' be
allowed a company, should not neglect
to provide suitable quarters. I- have
talked with a good many Salem people,
and also with the citixens of Woodburn
and find a large and growing sentiment
for the construction of a large armory
in the county, to" be located at Salem.
Woodburn peoplo feeem to be united, in
the opinion that the county should
build armories at i both Salem and
Woodburn, but at least at-Salem. The
finances of the county! are now in good
condition,' with money on band, and no
better time could be found for the con
struction of the armory.
''With a large bailding on the lower
floor, the city would be supplied with a
ronin for holding. mass meetings,' politi
cal meetings and other gatherings
without placing the lives of all who
attend in jeopardy. The company
would be able to rent the building for
numerous uses, and
handsome company
keeping in dibt to
keep on band a
fund, instead 6f
pay the rent on a
building that is not satisfactory, as at
present." i
: To Camp in, California.
. General Flnzer stated that he felt
reasonably safe in announcing that
the next encampment of the Oregon
National Guard would lie held at a
government park to .be provided for
the purjHiso near San Luis Obispo. The
Department of the Columbia has been
merged with the , Department of Cali
fornia, into the Division of the Pacific,
commanded by ! General Arthur Mr
Arthur, and he now commands the
National Guard organizations, as well
as the regular army. The government
sent agents to select gtrunds for this
purpose and they selected a large tract
near San Luis Obispo, and have recom
mended its purchase by Congress. If
this action is taken by Congress,, tbe
entire standing army of the West will
be assembled at tbe that place together
with the National Guards of Oregon,
Washington, California, Utah, and
Idaho, and the encampment is to he
held either in'June or July, to last for
Iwa full weeks, , j .-. : .
! -To Pay Stat Troops.
"It begins to look : as though the
National Guard would be put on part
pay before the present Congress ad
journs," said tbe Adjutant General,
"The committee t appointed by Coh:
gress, of which General Dick is chair
man, is making a thorough investiga
tion of the need of such a move, and
has esked for reports i from the Adjo
taat Generals of all the states, and
they have rearly all reported that such
move is necessary in order to secure
the best results from tbe organization.
"Application "has been made for the
new regulation olive drab uniforms for
the men, and it is certain that they
will be issued ia time to be worn at
the next encampment. The regular
army is already ; equipped with them .
The order has already been issued far
the officers to be snpplied with tbe new
uniforms by tbe first of July."
