FORMAL MOTIONS
Of How Not to Elect a U. S,
Senator,
AND THE INTENSELY LOYAL 32
Mitchell Men Who Will Not Say
Die.
SPECIAL LEGISLATIVE SESSION
May Be Called to Pass Appropria
tion Bills.
The legislative deadlock continues
and will go over into the last week of
tne session. It is doubtful if it can
be broken then. The bitter feelings
engendered by the presence of Senator
Mitchell and the methods of his man
agers are not being allayed.
The members were elected to repeal
a few bad laws and enact a few good
ones. A majorlty have constituted
themselves an illegal organization for
the purpose of electing a senator.
The illegality of the Benson house
was three times declared upon the re
cord by senators under oath to sup
port the constitution of this state, as
able and clearly drawn a document as
was ever constructed up to the day of
its creation, and then some of these
members deliberately go and Bit down
with a body they have declared un
constitutional. The Mitchellites are now deter
mined there shall be no senator and
not a syllable of legislation unless
Mitchell can be given a certificate.
This is the most offensive threat of
deadiockism and revolution over of
fered the people of Oregon. It inakes
inevitable
A SPECIAL. SESSION.
"What about a special session ? The
constitution of Oregon provides that
the governor may call oue. Art. V,
sec. 12:
"He may on extraordinary occa
sions, convene the legislative assembly
by proclamation, and shall state to
botli houses, when assembled, the pur
pose for which they shall have been
convened."
The governor can convene the legis
lature the day after it adjourns.
Those best i informed about the con
stitution say the special session would
first have to consider what proclama
tion of the governor called it together
to consider, but after that was acted
upon could consider other matters.
THE JOINT CONVENTION
today was a mere forjnal compliance
with the law. Nine senators and
twenty-three representatives were
present and answered to the rollcall.
Of these two were Democrats. Rep
resentative David, the aged granger
Republican from Gilliam, made a pcr
soual explanation and ended by quot
ing from a speech he made at Fossil
during the campaign that whenever
ho was satisfied Mitchell could not
succeed he would vote for some other
good Republican.
Edison's Electric Vitascope.
The peopleof Salem and vicinity are
to enjoy one of the most novel enter
tainments everplaced before the pub
lic. When they see Cissy Fitzgerald
the famous skirt dancer appear before
them on the stage of Reeds opera house
as naturally as In life and go through
with her dance, they will simply mar
vel. The water scenes where the surf
comes rolling in upon the beach,
first row occupants have been seen to
duck their heads in anticipation of
getting wet. It simply baffles all an
alysis. The entertlnmont consists of
a varied program, and most novel ever
produced upon the stage. The de
mand for the Vitascope is so great
that the company can remain but two
nights. They will be at Reeds opera
house Tuesday and Wednesday eve
nings of next week and that all may
have the opportunity of seeing this
marvellovs invention of the wizard
Edison, prices for seats have been
made 25 and 50c,

Salem Evangelical church, went to
Jefferson this morning to conduct
funeral services over the remains of
Darcy Jones the young son of W.. M.

abcess of the brain.
D. W. Semple business manager of
Portland Evening Telegarm visited
The Journal office this morning.
Mr. Semple was here completing ar

manager, at Reeds opera house on
Tuesday and Wednesday evening's
of next week.
He Will Never Withdraw. Some
claim Mitchell will never withdraw
from the senatorial race. We never
propose to withdraw from, the race t o
serve Salem people with superior gro
ceries. We are In the lead and pro
pose to maintain that reputation.

Here's a valentine to the "only can

A valentine to Johnnie,
Who Is a lover bold;
In words as sweet as honey
He takes you in his fold.
Of course his name ) Mitchell:
He's run for otliccof t,
And felt he e'er must hitch well
Unto a streak called soft.
But when he 'pan to double
Upon himself, you see
Ho found a "peck of trouble"
Athwart his destiny.
The friends he erst bad trusted
Now turned to enemies.
And so his boom got "busted"
'Mid strange emergencies.
In vain he cried, "Oh save,
Ye Pops and Democrats"
But all he got from Davis
Was something like: "Oil rats."
The Bourne he once was seeking
Now sought the candidate
In ways, in plain words speaking,
Somewhat akin to hate.
And all that's left of Hippie,
Where he went down to stay,
Is a lonesome, forlorn ripple,
Now passing fast away.
AT MARION'S CAPITOL.
Business Transacted in Its Various De
partments. Lata Friday afternoon tho grand
Jury returned four "true bills" as fol
lows: N. Curl and Clms. Vaughn, indicted
jointly charged with larceny of gruin
from Jos. Bllyeu, a farmer residing
near Turner.
J. N. Harris, embezzlement. Harris
was the man employed by J. H.
Fletcher, editor of the Weekly Inde
pendent, to do some collecting. He
failed to turn over what he collected.
Geo. Payne, larceny In a store.
The prisoners were arraigned Just
before adjournment, and given the
usual time in which to plead.
The case of State of Oregon vs. Wll
lard Blrcliard, charged with rape com
mitted on his daughter Minnie, June
1, 1895, will be called before Judge
Burnett at 1 p. m. Monday. It will
be remembered that case No. 1 against
Blrcliard was nonsuited by the defen
dant's counsel shortly after -the case
opened, on the grounds that sufficient
force was not exerted to constitute
the crime of rape. The prosecution
hopes to frustrate any such proceed
ings in case No. 2 since the unfortu
nate girl was under 10 years of ago
when the crime Is alleged to have
been committed.
The case of Margaret M. Small vs
B. A. Jacobs, ct al., ejectment and
damages, was called for trial yesterday
afternoon. A jury was selected as fol
lows; J. G. Moore, Ben Gesner, Lee
Tate, C, W. Yonke, Adam Snyder,
Theo. Rubens, J. A. Dickey, A. D.
Hall, Frank Culver, Wm. Mllcy, Ellas
Burkholder, P. K. Johnson. The
trial had not progressed to any great
extent when the question of the cause
being tried as an action at law or a
suit in equity was raised by plaintiff's
counsel. The Jury was sent to another
room while the point was argued,
Judge Burnett ruled in favor of plain
tiff and the Jury, on being called In,
was Instructed to return a verdict in
conformity with that view. Three
hundred and twenty acres of land,
valued at $6,000, were involved in the
suit.
Dick Horuor was today taken to tho
pentdntlary under sentence of four
years, having been convicted of the
larceny of a pair of blankets.
N. Curl and C, Vaughn, who were
indicted Jointly, charged with the lar

The Divide on Mltchellism.
Question Unfairly Stated by the
Statesman.
The hired Mitchell organ this
morning seeks to make capital out of
tho action of the Salem ministerial
association in refusing to lend its
further countenance to the unorgan
ized legislature by supplying a daily
prayer service.
Last Monday morning at the meet
ing of tho Salem Ministerial associa
tion tho question of supplying a dally
service of prayer to tho Oregon legis
lature was considered. It was brought
up by the Introduction of the follow
ing resolution:
"Reiolved, That we, the members
of tho ministerial association of Sa
lem, Ore., refuse to pray In either tho
senate or house chambers until the
legislature is unitedly at work."
It was proposed by Rov. Steele, of
the First Presbyterian church, and
led to warm discussion. Rev. Grannls
led in tho opposition to tho resolu
tion, as he declared It was
virtually "to take sides with Barkley,
Bourne, Davis, et al." This was re
sented by tho i supporters of the
resolution, who took the position
that praying for cither house
in unorganized state was a recogni
tion of such a faction; that the atti
tude of the Salem ministerial associa
tion was to be impartial and nonpar
tisan, nnd the purpose of the resolu
tion was simply to express that Idea.
Those who opposed tho resolution ac
cused the ministers favoring it with
being in with the hold-up and the
bolters. The resolution was adopted,
ordered spread on the minutes and it
was understood the secretary was to
give It to the papers. This was not
done however. A Journal writer
called on leading ministers and it was
agreed that unless the Mitchell organ
made Improper use of It, thero should
be nothing said. The ministers who
were present and favored tho resolu
tion are those who have refused to
have anything to do wlth-party poll-
tics. The resolution was then adopted.
Rov. Grannls, Bowersox and Farmer
wiio always attend session, vigorously
opposed the resolution. It Is bclloyeH
a canvass of the entire membership of
the association about twenty-five
would favor the resolution.
Speaker Davis is a member of tho
Christian church and Rev. Denton of
that church at Salem was one of tho
supporters of the resolution. Rev.
Grannls Is an unrelenting 'partisan
and was the main backer of the Ben
son bouse. It is known that a
number of the ministers refused
from the start to pray Qvcr the unor
ganized legislature. They took the
position that to go and pray over
either house would bo to recognize
such a body, and for the association to
do so would be an official recognition.
That is tho view of most of the Salem
ministers.
The resolution was kept out of print
since Monday, and ministers not ac
quainted with the action or the asso
ciation were drummed up to serve
part of the time In the house and Ben
ate. There Is feeling among some of the
ministers at the following In the
Statesman:
"It is safer to infer, therefore, that
the gentlemen who have served since
that date cast a negative vote In.tlie
premises."
They eel as though they had been
roped In without full knowledge of the
subject: to commit them to a support
of the Benson house.
WHAT ONE SAYS.
A Salem clergyman who was seen
this morning Bald he had been invited,
but declined to serve. The language
of tho apostle Paul, to pay due respect
to the powers that be, warned him to
have nothing to do with a unconstitu
tional body. "There Is a preacher on
each side of the question in the sen
ate and two In tho house who will
pruy for cither side's salvation if not
for their political success. All the
firayers so far have had little effect to
udge by the fruits. Besides from the
temporal view of the matter, while
everybody is well paid, even where no
service Is performed, they are very
careful the ministers shall get noth
ing. "The most serious objection to my
mind is that prayer is out of place In
such a body. There are Hebrews in
tho legislature, who do not believe in
tho divinity of Jesus Christ. Thero
are infidels and atheists, who makeu
mockery of revealed religion. There
Is a time and place for all things, but
there Is no time or place for prayer In
a body of wrangling politicians, where
each one seems to bo struggling for
selfish advantages. I refused to take
my assignment and shall do so In the
future."

Washington News,
Washington, Feb. 13. The blockade-runners
nt Charleston liavo scored
first blood in spite of all preparations
made by Admiral Bunce to detect any
attempt to pass tbo long lino of ships
he strung out across tho entrance to
tho harbor. The Dolphin, not by any
means a fust boat, nor as Invisible, as
a regular blockade-runner, slipped
quietly around one end of the lino on
the 8th -instant, and when the depart
ment next heard of her she was at the
bar off the St. John's rlvor, Florida.
Officials of the departmentt were
puzzled when notified by Commander
Clover by telegraph of his wherea
bouts, but private letters received
here from persons on the squadron ex
plains his movements as a successful
running of the blockade.
Now the fleet Is on watch not only
against the return of the Dolphin, but
the appearance of the little Vesuvius,
swifter than anything In the fleet and
like a regular blockade-runner, lower
In the waterthan tho Dolphin. More
ovci tho Vesuvius Is painted a dingy
invisible shade of gray, and so is much
more likely to make a successful run
than tho Dolphin.
Secretary Herbert expects to leave
here on tho 17th for Charleston to seo
for himself how tho blockade pro
gresses. It is possible ho will have
tome distinguished company.
Miserable weathtr today again pre
vented the North Atlantic squadron

Indiana has arrived. The flagship,
New York, cruiser Marblchcad and
tho monitor Amphltrlte have been as
signed to patrol duty ati the south
channel entrance. It Is pretty well
settled that the dispatch-boat Dol
phin, the dynamite cruiser Vesuvius,
torpedo-boat No. six and probably the
Gushing will be the blockade-runners.

Lyon Adolph Relieved of $72,
A Bold Robbery Committed Early
Friday Night.
Lyon Adolph, eldest son of Mrs.
Samuel Adolph,was brutally assaulted
and robbed of $72.30 about 0:30 o'clock
last evening while In the back yard of
his mother's residence property on
East State street.
Lyon had been down town all the
evening and was In Mel Hamilton's
saloon about 8:45 p. m. when he made
the remark that he would do n llttlo
collecting and then go home. When
he made the remark there were sev
eral men loafing about in the saloon
buthcpald no attention to them. and
Immediately left the place, navlng
made the collections amounting to
972.30. Mr. Adolph proceeded up
State street to his mother's home
where he resides.
Shortly after arriving at the bouse,
having as yet not removed the money
from his person, he had occasion to
visit tho back yard. On returning to
the house and just as ho was march
ing up tho back steps to the porch, he
was roughly seized by two men, ono of
whom Btruck him two blocks with a
blunt instrument of some kind, pos
sibly a club, from the effects of which
Mr. Adolph was considerably dazed.
Ho received one blow ncross the left
cheek bono and the xecrtnd on the back
of the head. When Lyon regained his
senses, he found that his pockets had
been rifled of their contents. Mr.
Adolph has no Idea who hlsnsallants
are but distinctly remembers having
Been two men.
It Is thought tho remark made by
Mr. Adolph In Mel Hamilton's saloon
Just before leaving for his homo was
overheard by two men who followed
Adolph stationing themselves in the
backyard for tho purpose of awaiting
a favorable opportunity of assaulting
him. Had Lyon not passed into the
back yard It Is likely tho men would
have effected an entrance to tho resid
ence later In the night.
This la, tho first"hold-up," robbsry
or burglary that has been reported
slnco. tho "Big Ten" special policemen
were appointed.
