The success of the filibuster against the Bland sil ver seigniorage bill, which has blocked proceedings in the house for Ave days, forced the Democratic advocates of the measure to invoke the decree of caucus, and immediately after adjournment last night a Democratic caucus was held In the hall of the (house to consider the situation. There were present 130 Damoorats, but not a Democratic member of the New York delegation. all of whom have Joined in the ob structive movement, nor in fact any others who joined hands with them. The presence, however, of Pence of Colorado, a Populist, was significant. The sentiment in caucus, therefore, was all favorablo to the bill and two resolutions were adopted, one to keep the seigniorage hill beforo the bouso to the exclusion of everything until dis posed of, and the other expressing the sense of the caucus, that it was the duty of every Democratio member to vote either for or against the bill. The only difference of opinion was as to the advisability of going even fur ther than this and compelling members to vote, or being counted, If they re fused. Bdatuer presided, and advo cated a resolution to instruct the com mittee on rules to bring In a rule to compel members to vote or be fined, aud the Patterson resolution, Instruct ing the speaker to count a quorum. Patterson declared he believed, after reviewlug the spectacle for five days, that Reed was right and non-voting members should be counted to make a quorum.

Sheriffs Arrive in Visalia Their Man with ATTEMPTS TO LYNCH THE ROBBER. An Infuriated Crowd Pnrsuo tho Officers and Prisoners. Would Linch Him. Fbesno Cal., Feb. 20. Sheriffs Scott and Kay and George Witty have arrived here from VJsalla with Evans and Morrell. They drove up from VI aalia and had an exciting time eluding mpn who went In pursuit with the purpose of lynching Evans. This was an exciting race for lifo a good share of the way, as the determination to Unch the men was very strong. last night's doings. Evans looks very thin and pale, as though he had passed through a very seyero spoil of sickness. Tliore Is much rejololng here at tho capture, as many persons had reason to fear his vengence for giving information to ofllcers, and there was a general belief that some valuable lives would bo lost beforo ho could be captured. Evans and Morell woro expected hero Saturday nlght.aud Uultod States Marshal Gard was telegraphed the fact at Los Augeles. They did not arrive, however, but canio last night. W. V. Brighton, who lives in Evans1 house, informed tho officers of the bandit's ar rival, and he was detained in Jail until the full facts were learned. Marshal Gard arrived at 3 o'clock in the morn ing, but Bberllt Kay and posse had the houses surrounded all night to prevent tho escape of tho bandits. Brighton and his wife have been living in Evans' house and caring for tho four little chil dren of Evans. Brighton has assured ly been acting with the ofllcers, at least he gave tho bandits away last night, but whether freely or under compulsion is not positively known. If Evans is not removed to the penl- tentiary trouble may occur, as there aro people hero who favor taking pos session of tho prisoner and hanging him. They say our community ,has suffered enough from the actions of bandit Evans. The ofllcers have beard the rumors and will take precautions, maybe by sending the prisoner away by a special train. Fresno ofllcers were notified this morning that he was here, but none came to assist In the arrest. It turns out that Mrs. Brighton and the children wero not at homo, only Evans and Morell being in tho house. But the crowd wui too largo for them to attempt to escape. Killed as a Valentino. The Dalles, Feb. 20. Word has just been received hero of the fatal termination of a valentine party given by some young people In a vacant house near Mitchell, Or.

Wright, Mayor of Union, Or., at Salem Mouday, un doubtedly precipitated thnluuuollou suit, papers In which wero served In great haste Monday afternoon. It Is stated that tho Mayor, who is also a bank president, came for the express purpose of closing up the aflalr, and brought with him all thu papers and dooumenta suoh as deeds, abstracts of title, etc., necessary to a satisfactory and buslnessllko consummation of the $25,000 sage-brush asyl'im-.dte deal, but before ho could meet with tho members of the asylum board aud submit the papers, tho iujuuetion intervened and roudered his journey in tbia behalf, fruitless. Tin: PETITION, for the injunction alleges as follews: 'That by virluo of the power vested In them aa such board tho said defend ants, under the provisions of a pre tended act of thu legislative assembly of said state, claimed by them to have passed tho said legislative assembly at the 17th biennial sesslou thereof, are about to ptnohiiHo with the money of tho plalnuir sought to be appropriated by the said legislative assembly for tiiat purpose 010 acres of land In Union county, Oregon, for the sum of $25,000 to be uetl us a nite for a branch insaht asylum tor said stato.

Governor Ponnoyer seems to be lu favor of tho $25,000 deal. A morning paper quotes him as saying in rospouho to a request for a statement at to the summary proceedings against tho pro posed purchase: "That the least said, tho soonest monded; but if tho court will strictly regard tho correct meaning of words in its construction of the constitution the branch asylum will bo built at Union." Tho people of Union uava cloarly over reached themselves In asking tho Btato to pay $25,000 for a site. However, they may havo Induced tho board of visiting physicians to recommend the location, it Is nothing short of an out rage on tho state to mulct tho treasury of $25,000 for a equaro mile of land, to put tho branch asylum on. It should not bo overlooked that plenty of heal thy sites, from a sanitary standpoint, can bo had In Eastern Oregou without costing tho stato a penny. $25,000 would put up thu building on such a site, to hold all the people who are real ly Insano for many years to come. The Bohomo to unload on the state a $25,000 site Is nothing short of an outrage In these hard times, with heavy taxes und a depleted treasury. It is well known that when tho Sol dlor'B Home was located, a magnifi cent site of land and lumber to put up the building were ofiered the commis sion free nt Bandou1 by tho sea shore, But tho polltlcaldul to locate It at Rose burg had been closed by the governor and his board, and tho suto had to buy an expensive tract at Roseburg.

While courts and economists aro con slderlng the question of .stopping the construction of a branoh asylum in Eastern Oregon thoro Is urgent nocos slty for a reform In, tho laws, under which persons aro committed to thq asylum. Auy porcon riowt deemed by a county Judire or Justice of tho rujaco of uusnurtd mind aud unfit to bo at 'argo can be committed to the state Intauo asylum at tho expense of the state, both as to travelling expenses of tho porsou, tho sherld and one or tuore guards.

Tho appropriation of $38,000 by the last legislature Is nearly exhausted al ready and then will be a big deficit from this sourco.
