Died.
CoRVALLis,Jan. 21. Col. John Kel
say.one of the framers of the Oregon
state constitution, a colonel in the
Rogue river Indian war and for forty
four years a memberof theOregon bar,
died at his home in this city Tuesday
night. His ailment was pneumonia,
contracted only two days before his
death. The end came so peacefully
that watchers at the bedside only
know that the aged barrister had
passed away when they went to give
him a dose of medicine.
CqL JCelsay has for forty years been
a well known figure in Oregon. He
was born in Kentucky in 1819, moved
at an early age toMissourl.and in 1844
seryed as a member of the state legis
lature of the latter state- Ho arrived
in Oregon in 1853, was chairman of the
military committee of theOregon con
stitutional convention in 1857, and in
1864 became judge of the second dis
trict and a justice of the Oregon su
preme court.
Many a reminiscence of the early
days in legal circles abounds with rich
anecdote illustrating the kindly char
acter of the deceased. At the time of
his death he was mayor of Corvallls.
The funeral occurs today. A wife and
two children survive.

LITTLE LOCALS
"Patronize Home Industry" Is tho
inenption on a large placard in one of
the local stores, whose j proprietor Is
an imported Celestial. On what tho
merchant bases his claim to what the
placard implies, is difficult to com
prehend. Some mischief-making boysof North
Salem last eyeningamuscd themselves
at the expense of unsuspecting pedes,
trians, however, by streculng a wire
across tho sidewalk on north Liberty
street at a point just opposite Wada's
store. Many ladies were precipitated
quite forcibly to the walk but fortu
nately sustained no (injury.. Such
practices are dangerous and should
not bo continued by boys. Innocent
fun Is well enough.
MITCHELL
Has Telegrams From Hoar.
Less Than a' Quorum Can Organize
But Can't Do Business.
Senator Mitchell gives out following
telegrams 'from himself, and replies
thereto;
Salem, Or., Jan. 19, 1897.
"Hon. C. F. Hoar.Chairnian Judiciary
committee, U. S. Senate, Washing
ton, D. C.: "
"The constitution of the state of
Oregon provides as follows:
"First: That the senate shall
consist of thirty, and house of repre
sentatives of sixty members.
"Second: "Two-thirds -of each
house shall constitute a quorum to do
business, but a smaller number may
meet; adjourn from day to day and
compel the attendance of absent
members.
"Query: Can the house organize
permanently,- a majority only being
present, and can such house elect a
benator and lawfully do other legisla
tive business provided two-thirds of
such majority are present V Thirty
one Republicans and four Democrats,
being all the Democrats in the house
thirty-five in all, are now present in
the house ready to organize: while,
nineteen Populists, being all the
Populist members of the house,
and six bolting Republican refuses to
come in and be sworn. While we
believe the house has a perfect right
to permanently organize, provided
thirty-two or more members are pre
sent, and that two-thirds of such
members will constitute a quorum to
enable the house not only to elect a
senator, but transact any and all leg
islative business, yet In ordei to avoid
any possible friction, tho majority
have been patiently waiting in tho
hope of securing the presence of two
thirds of all the members elected to
the house before organizing.
"Any suggestion or advice you are
willing to giyejfor us here will bo
greatly appreciated.
"John II. Mitchell"
hoar's heply.
"Washington, D. C , Jan. 19, 1897.
"Hon. John II. Mitchell, Salem, Ore
gon: "I think two-thirds of number act
ually qualified make a good constitu
tional quorum. If only thirty-five
qualify they may organize and law

(principle settled in national bouseand
senate iu time or tue reoeiuon.
"Geo. F. Hoar."
"In addition to what I have just
said, I may state that I am this eyen-
incrJn receipt or a second oispatcn
from Senator Hoar, and from which It
seems those who are engaged in the
legislative hold-up, through one of
their attorneys, appealed also to the
same high authority for an opinion on
this subject. The following is the
dispatch just received by me from Sen-
ntnr Tlnnr. OTli!f.li Ktionfrn fnr It.snlf?"
"Washington, D. D., Jan. 20,1897.
"Hon. John 11. Mitchell, Salem Ore
gon: "I have sent the following dispatch
to C. A. Dolph in response to his in
quiry. "If Oregon constitution provide
house of representatives shall consist
of sixty members, or provide a less
number and that leslslaturo may in
crease the number to sixty, which has
been done, and f uther provides that
two-thirds of the lawfully quaiiied
members of each house may consti
tute such quorum, although a less
number than sixty have qualified, and
a less number than forty are present
and act. Therefore, if thirty-five
persons are all the qualified members
of the house, and twenty-flye others
lawlully elected refuse to qualify, the
action of the majority of the thirty
five in organizing or electing a sena
tor, or other legislative business, will
be constitutionally valid, at least
twenty-four being present. Two
thirds of the thirty-five being all the
lawfully qualified members will then
make a quorum. This doctrine was
settled in the national senate and
house during the rebellion, and has
been acted upon in those bodies ever
since. I haye given this opinion to
Senator Mitchell. "Geo. F. noAR"
MITCHELL QUOTES THDRSTON.
"In further confirmation of the
correctness of the construction I place
upon tho constitutional provisions of
our state, I beg to hand you tho fol
lowing dispatch, voluntarily and
without any request from me sent
this evening by Senator Thurston, of
Nebraska, one of the eminent lawyers
of the nation, and late chairman of
the Republican national convention
at St. Louis:"
"Washington, D. C. Jan. 20, 1897.
"Hon. J. H. Mitchell. Salem. Or:
"Strongly advise organization of-
tue nouse wuu meniDers ready.
Elect speaker. Notify senate and
governor of organization. Jointly
with senate agree on time of voting
for senator. If bolting members hang
out, appoint committee inycstlgate,
report reason ior uieir action, acciara
seats vacant. No doubt about legal
ity of sucli course. Believe such action
would bling absentees in quickly.
"John H. Thurston."
"In view, therefore, of the decision
of this acknowledged authority on
such subjects, to which both parties
have appealed, it would seem there
ought not to bo any further hesitation
upon the part of tho house of repre
sentatives In proceeding to business."
THE SITUATION,
in Oregon is attracting attention not
only in the United States senate but
among the politicians all over the
nation. ' It Is unique In the klstory of
politics. That the telegrams will be
It
acted upon by Benator Mitchell's
friends In the legislature as soon as
they can be assured 6f any hope of
success no one can dofibt. The hard
fact remains, whlcll Senator Hoar
does not overcome, that less than a
quorum can organize ft body but that
body can transact nonbusiness after It
is organized without a quorum.
HOW IT IS REGARDED.
The ablest lawyers In, Oregon agree
that tho telegrams from Hoar and
Thurston are only significant or Sena
tor Mitchell's political distress. He
wired to these frleids, neither of
whom are known as great constitu
tional lawyers Senator Hoar Is
known as an ciulnqntly respectable
old gcntelman fronij-MassachusscUs,
but not us an authority on the Oregon
constitution. The" obstructionist!! pay
nd attention to it wltatever.
FORMAL NOTICE
was served upon tlfc People's party
men throjgh their leaders Young and
U'Ren last nlght,ln the form of a copy
of the Hoar telegrams and Mitchell's
determination to force an organiza
tion. This was regarded as u bluff and
John C. Young did riot hesitate to de
nounce the Hoar teldferatrj to Dolph as
a fake. A leader of the Populists said
they had the sections of the Oregon
constitution relating to organization
of a legislature telegraphed toScnator
Hoar In full and hethad not replied.
Mitchell had quoted the constitution
only so far as It sowed his purpose to
get a colored opinion from Hoar, that
was really nut relevant to the situa
tion. Hoar's reputation as a partisan
Is well known and he seems to hive
tho Impression tills Is a battle fo'Fcon
trol between thcPopulIsts and Repub
licans,when as a matter of fact it is a
struggle between two wings of thottc
publlcan party, nad Hoar known
that he would never have Interfered
In the contest now going on.
ARRESTED AT CORVALL13.
Frank Davis, of Salem, Charged With
Adultery,
Chief of Policy A. O. Dlllcy returned
Wednesday afternoon from Corvallls
with one Frank Davis, who Is wanted
hero to answer to the charge of adult
ery. He was. arraigned before Re
corder Edes at Opo'clock yesterday
afternoon and his case was continued.
The Corvallls Times of Tuesday
contains the following regarding
Davis: f
Frank Dayls is wanted in Salem,
ne was arrested and locked up yester
day afternoon by Chief Wells, to bo
held, pending the arrival of Chief
Dllloy, of Salem? at whose request
Davis was takenpin custody. Th
charge against Davis is adultery. In
Salem he has a witaandttwo children,
and with him at the time of his arrest
was -awoman wljp,. In jSalem has a
iiusbandand. two children. A short
time ago the couple were run out of
Corvallls by the authorities, when
they went to Albany. Monday they
were hustled out of Albany by the
authorities there, and they came to
Corvallls, only to run up against tho
trouble recorded above. They seem
to be a couple no town on earth wants
and are accordingly blotches on tho
name of manhood and womannood.
The Fight in Washington.
Olympia, Wash., Jan. 21. Three
ballots were taken In the first joint
session of the legislature, held for the
purpose of selecting a successor to Sen
ator Squire, but no election resulted.
The ballot! ngoccured in a most per
functory manner, without the slightest
evidence of excitement, all the mem
bers seeming to anticipate that no can
didate would receive enough votes to
take him dangerously near the goal.
The good humor of the members was
shown by hearty laughter which Sena
tor Dorr, a republican,occasloned after
tho second ballot, by proposing that
A. A. Denny, who has been receiving
tho complimentary vote of tliotwentv-
slx republicans, be made the unanim
ous choice of the legislature, as he had
more votes than any of the other can
didates. Governor Rogers received
one vote, and M.G. Goodman a promi
nent democrat and layer of Dayton,
was given two votes. Theso were the
only new names brought out. Sen
ator Squire, by reason of tho sickness
of Representative Williams, lost one
vote Irora yesterday's ballot. Turner
gained two votes and lost one, while
the various Populist candidates moved
up and down.

Port Townsend (Wash.), Jan. 21.
By tho steamer Alkl tho news comes
that a great number of people in Al
aska are highly exercised over an an
nouncement recently made to a fa
vored few to the effect that ox-United
States Marshal Orvlllo T. Porter of
tho District of Alaska is not to bo
prosecuted on a charge of embezzle
ment under which he was indicted
several years ago by a United States
Grand Jury. Several ineffectual at
tempts have been made In Alaska to
bring Porter to trial, but excuses on
account of sickness have thus far
saved him. Now tho infoamation
comes that United States Attorney
Bennett has been Instructed by the
special agent at Washington to dis
miss all proceedings against Porter.
It is rumored that this action is a
result of tho efforts of United States
Senator John 11. Mitchell, of Oregon,
on whose recommendation Porter re
ceived his appointment during tho
regime of ex-President Harrison,
Porter has been in Salem during
the entire session lobbying for tho re
election of Senator Mitchell.
When It was heard tho regulars
would organlzo tho house, another
warm of advance agents of prosperity
came out of hiding ready to bo sworn
In and go upon the payrolls of tho
state.
Washington, D. C, Is tho place to
go for opinions. No lawyer, Judge or
phbllc official, In Oregon, would say
tho house could organlzo with less
than a quorum. So Scnutor Mitchell
got an opinion all reaey made to order
from Mark Ilanna's steering commit
tee. Highest of all in Leavoning Power.

There arc regular members of Die

much at hold-ups of prlvato citizens
