Washington Jan. 9. The President
today ' signed an . order suspending
" James II. Booth and Joseph T." Bridges,
respectively register and. receiver of
the United States land office at Rose
varg, Ore, The action was taken on
recommendation of Secretary Hitch
cock' and based on a telegram from F.
Ji Heney, who alleged that the affairs
of the Boseburg office were- in bad condition.
" . Booth and Bridges Removed.
.Portland, Jan. 9. F. J. Heney stated
today that he made the request for the
removal of Booth and Bridges as the
result of the investigation8 of the past
week. The announcement is considered
as significant here and is thought to. be
tne forerunner of several important in
, dictments. For several months it has
been rumored that the government had
the Roseburjf office, under examination,
and -the 'removals tend to confirm the
rumors. It is said that the government
will attempt to connect large lumber
ing interests located in the southern
part of the state with the land fraud
esses and that the move made today
was the first step in. that direction.

i Paris, Jan. 7. After confering with
Foreign Minister Delcasse a leading dip
lomat said today that mediation in the
Japanese-Russian war was unacceptable
to Russia now, as it would have been
to the JCorth after the defeat at Bull
Run. The belief is growing that freat
Britain's anxiety for mediation is not
disinterested, a British official recent
ly said: "If Europe or America do
not intervene, Japan and Russia will
make terms of peace without consulting
i-uro'te or, America. This leads dip
lomats to say that Great Britain is less
desirous of peace than to secure a voice
in the terms of peace.

The light that is on in the State Sen
ate for the organization of that body
w w regretted by. .Republicans en-
erally, and especially by those who de
sire to see the : Legislative Assembly
l -
proceea to Dusiness as quickly as pos-
r b!V1. t . i . i .
w. -iv nut suppose u mat noid-ups
were proven unpopular, but such seems
not to be the case, and there is such
a thing in the wind again unless some
one or more of those Republicans who
are In tne minority decide to accept
the wishes of the majority and proeeed
10 me organisation of the Senate.
Many who look on from the lobby
say that it certainly is the duty of
regularly elected Republicans to meet
with their -fellows' wishes and abide
by the majority decision. Especially is
this the case with members who have
legislation in whieh their constituents
are interested, and which is bound to
suffer by any such eonfest as the one
ruling now.
fThere was little evidence of the eon-
test at the office of the Willamette
hoteLfllast evening, everybody there be

principally at 10 o'clock. A talk with
Senator Kuykendall and his friends in
dicated that that gentleman had no
fear that the Republican maiority
ould not.be able to organize some
time today, and the declaration was
made that it would continue' to ' east
fourteen votes for the Senator from
Lane, notwithstanding the Carter men
declared that Dr. Kuykendall could not
be elected.
In the house all Republicans went
into the caucus yesterday and declared
their willingness to abide thereby, and
the same thing in the Senate would
have been a satisfactory political
move, declare party leaders, who have
little interest except in the., passage of
good and wise legislation.
"I am sorry to see one of Marion
county's Senators holding out against
the majority of the Republicans,'.' Baid
a prominent farmer of this county yes
terday evening, "especially? when the
house' has been organized by .the
friends of the majority candidate rn
the Senate. Marion -county wants and
demands a great deal of legislation this
year, and . I was very much in hopeB
the Marion county delegation in hot a
houses would be in shape to aid in se
curing this legislation. I especially
want to see the indebtedness wiped off
the State Fair grounds and buildings
and that institution receive the legis
lation necessary to push it on to great
er work. I feel so strongly, on this
matter that - I think every Marion
county member should work with
view to securing this legislation,' and
I think getting the legislation we need
is more important than standing out
for some man or other for the presi
deney of the Senate, especially ; when
that man is in the minority.
Another Salem business man 'said
"Salem wants to see a new building
for the state deaf mute school, and
many other ' appropriations. It wants
to see the block of land east of the

These things come through fa mutual
effort to legislate. They come through
a majority vote, and not by holding

l
This city became the scene of the
final wind-upVf one of the most closely
contested political fights seen for some
time in Oregon. The battle, wuica was
a true battle royal, began some weeks
since, wntn lion. x. . uay, 01 mis
county, announced himself a candidate
for speaker of the House of Represent-
. m i v i
atives oi xne iweniy-iniru uu-naiai
session of the Oregon Legislature.
The fight was entirely a one-sided
affair for a good many weeks, witn
Mr. Kay alone in .the field, but later
Mr.' A. A. Jiaileyj of Multnomah conn
ty, announced himself, and Hon. W. I
Vawter, of Jacksori, later, as a candi
date against Mr. Kay for tne Honor.
"Claims were , openly made by Mr.
Kav that' he had sufficient votes
rdeuged to secure and insure his elee
tion as speaker, and this was pretty
frenerally conceded to be a tact until
the name of Representative A. L. Mills,
of Multnomah, came out for the speas:
ersuTp, when Mr. 'Kay's friends recog
nized the fact taat tney naa a nard
ficht on their hands, and after the
combination was accomplished with Mr.
Vawter and his backers at Portland,
there, seemed no doubt at all of the
final result.
After the house met yesterday for
permanent organization, a caneus was
called for the members of the house
to take place at once, and It was but
a, short time ' before there was made
the announcement at the door of the
caucus chamber that tMr. ; Mills had
been nominated by a vote ,of 26 for
Mills to 24 for Mr. Kay. Mr. .Kay
made a good fight lor the speakership,
but the eombrnation was too i strong
against him.
The other omeers oi vne jmuo were
selected at the caucus and considering
the faet that a Marion county man was
the defeated candidate for speaker,
Marion county fared remarkably well in
thm hake-uo. i Captain Charles A,
Murphy, who was originally a candi
date for reading ch?rk of the house,
was elected doorkeeper; Mr. Drager, of
Scotrs Mills, was selected for the as
sistant chief clerkship. James Finch se
cured the post of calendar clerk, -and
Charles Hoyt a pag". Mr. Morphy
was nomiaated ,by Mr, Kay and Mr.(
