THE MITCHELL HOLD-UP.
Will Mitchell succeed in holding up
the legislature for another week?
that is the question before the people
of Oregon. There Is but one week
left of the forty days set for ordinary
legislation. There are ithose who pre
tend Senator Mitchell has not been
the cause of the blockade.
They may be sincere In this, but
the declaration of Bepresentatlve
Huntington when he withdrew from
the joint convention, has never been
answered. He charged that It was
an organization solely in the interest
of one-man, and that man is Mitchell.
What facts lead to this conclusion ?
Mitchell interfered with the work of
the committee on credentials. Mit
chell advised Nosier never to appear
before the committee. The two Mit
chell Republicans wlthrew from the
committee and would not hear the
testimony. While the committee was
out Mitchell advised a secret house
caucus of 29 members to select a
speaker they could not elect without
31 votes. Mitchell advised and organ
ized the rump Benson house, and the
unrecognized double rump joint fas
sembly. All this was done to dead
lock the legislature and force Mit
chell's election. ,
Knowing ho bad no poll teal stand
ing, knowing he had repudiated his
sliver views whichwere theonly1 link
attaching to him any following of the
people, Mitchell had to resort to force
and trickery to encompass his pur
pose to be returned by hook or crook
as senator for Oregon.
No well-Informed perion can deny
that Mitchell is the sole cause of the
deadlock that has held up the legisla
ture for five weeks and threatens to
exhaust the last precious week of the
people's only hope of relief. Mitch
ell's ambition was to succeed in defi
ance of the will of the people(
Shall he accomplish this?
Shall the expressed desire
of the people for remedial legislation
be thwarted? Shall a special session
be forced on the people? Shall ex
travagance and abuses costing hund
reds of thousands of dollars continue
all for Mitchell ? Shall the state be
run on credit for two years and en
rich bankers enormously all for
Mitchell? What will not this man
do to gratify his ambition? What
does he care for the people if he can
gain his personal ends ? There was
uev,er such a defiance of the public,
such revolutionary methodsof forcing
a claimant an office, employed in the
history of our state. What man of
honor can go before jthe people and
Justify holding up the legislature In '
the interest of Mitchclllsm ?
If there Is a supporter of Mitchell
who has not been released by Mitch
ell's own methods, he must place his
personal interests in politics above
honor, country, everything, but mere
desire for office. Thcro aro enougli

Hanging onto the corpse of Mitch

might be.
'
Tho Mitchell members are us des
perate as a mun with his money in a
busted bank.
Of course every body knows Just
where Judge Moore stands on the
money question I
Honestly speaking, has Mitchell
done anything but lose votes ever
since he came to Salem ?
A lot of Salem people and other peo
ple are saying George H? Burnett is
suitable senatorial timber.
Come John, take your old rusty axe
off the public grindstone. There's a
whole lot of needed grinding to be
done.
There Is no person so good but he
needs prayer, and none so bad but ho
deserves it, not even among the poli
ticians. Sol Hlrsch and Chas. 'Runaway Pul
ton got the start of the rest of the
boys by starting their , senatorial
boom's last week.
Come In and elect me and the house
will organize to-morrow. John II.
Mitchell to the populists, as can bs
proven by several.
i Smith of Marlon says: "There will
be no election and no senator to the
end of this week and then I am going
to quit and go home."
To rump or not to rump; aye there's
ttie rub. Whether it were better to
single-rump, or double-rumpipr not to
rump at all, that's tho question.
w
"Of course.all can see that it's noth
ing but Corbett and his first national
bank that keeps tho Populists from
rushing into my arms and dying on my
bosom." John H. Mitchell.
Cornelius P. Bliss, president of the
American protective tariff league,
this morning sent telegrams to many
members urging them to go in and
vote for Mitchell for senator.
The Journal Is not Mr. Bourne's
mouthpiece nor Mr. Simon's, but it
believes the people would as oon trupt
either of them to act honestly as they
would Sol Hlrsch, Johnnie Mitchell
or Charley Fulton.
The Beusonltes can be genuine double-headers.
They belong to "the
only house," the "organized house,"
the "Mitchell house," in fact to any
thing but the legal temporary organi
zation; yet they recognize the latter
and vote there when they wish.

Brown, the master genius of Ben
sonlsm next to Somers, organized a
ten-strike Sunday evening, when he
marshalled his hosts and outvoted the
Davis house and compelled It to ad
journ over to Monday night at 11:45.
That will go far toward relieving the
deadlock and will raise Browu about
three thousand percent In the estima

CRETE,
The Town of Canea Bombard.
The Governor Ran After the First
Shot Was Fired.
Canea, Crete, Feb. 15. (Sunday
evening.) Tho Christians occupied
the heights surrounding the town and
began to rombard Canea. As soon as
the firing commenced, Georgl Bcro
yltch, governor of Crete, with 30 re
cently enrolled Montenegro gendar
mas, boarded tho Russian roan-ofwar.
The Greek consul also embarked on
board another vessel.
The Turki from the fortress re
plied to the fire of the Chriatlans. It
is reported that the fighting was at
tend with bloodshed. The military
gove rnor has been removed from Ins
post. Tho foreign consuls also em
barked on board tho various vessels
lying off the town of Canea.
The Greek consul at Hcraklion went
on board the Greek warship Naura
chos Nlaulls. The Christians at
Heiaklion arc also hurrying on board
the ship.
Fighting at Halcpha.
London, Feb. 15. A Canea dis
patch dated Sunday.to the Times says
the village of Halepa, the residence
of the consults, was In a state of great
trepidation Sunday In consequence of
the approach of the Insurgents, who,
Joined, It is stated, by tjio Greek volun
teers, assembled In force on Akrotarl
peninsula, made an advnee in tho
neighborhood. The Hellenic flag
hoisted on tho arrival of tho Greek
warships was displayed on tho sum
mit of an adjoining hill. All of tho
members of the famllllcs of the con
sular agents were transferred to the
warsniDS. The Greek consulate was
imprisoned within ltupre&slve show
of force by native Christian sailors in
anticipation of an attack from tho
Mohammedans from the vicinity of
Canea.
The insurgents advanced yesterday
(Sunday) toward the Isthmus connect
ing the peninsula with the mainland,
and engaged the Turkish artillery
throughout the afternoon. Tho Mo
hammedans at Canea were in a state
of great excitement, and, owing to Tu
rners of an intended attack on the con
sulates at Canea, special precautions
were taken at the offices of the British
consul. 4bout400 bashi-bazouks and
a company of regulars hurried out from
Canea and attacked the Christians,
who were finally repulsed and pursued
into the interior of the peninsula.
It is reported that, the Christians
haye succeeded in making a stand,
and that they now maintain their po
sition.
Hcraklion Is more quiet, as a large
part of the Christian population has
embarked on the man-of-war.
The governor has demanded a writ
ten assurance from the consuls that
the Greek fleet is not to molest the
transport conveying troops to Sltla.
This transportjwas compelled to re
turn Friday by tho firing from a Greek
warship. This assurance was given by
tho British ylce-consul, and by Cap
tain Grcnfell, of tho turret ship Tra
falgar. Captain Grenfell subsequently
promised the government to prevent
the Greek warships from bombarding
tho town, provided the Mohammedans
would abstain from acts of violence.
ner majesty's steamships Rodney
and Dragon have arrived. .
The Turkish troopship, which ar
rived put out to sea, pursued by the

Ibrahim Pasha, military governor,
has resigned.
Governor's Resignation.
LoNDON,Fob. 15. A Times dispatch
from Canea dated Sunday night says
that the resignation of Prlnco Georgl
Berovltch as governor of Crto has al
ready been accepted, and ho departed
Sunday afternoon for Trieste. Despite
the official statements, there Is reason
to believe he left his post without the
sultan's permission. In his letter to
the consuls representing tho powers,
ho only stated that he had tendered
his resignation.
Although well Intcntloncd, Bero
V I tch Pasha has shown a lamentable
lack of courage during tho recent
troubles, according lo the correspond
ent. He practically abandoned tho
direction of affairs at a critical mo
ment. It must, In fairness, be said
that tho task Imposed upon him was
one of extraordinary difficulty. With
out gendarmerie, without law courts,
opposed by military subordinates,
thwarted in Constantinople, and har
assed by his administrative council,
ho had no means to make his author
ity respected. It must be also borne
In mind that the sudden disappear
ance of Turktsh officials Is often due
to occult Inlluonces. The position of
the next governor will not be enviable.
According to another dispatch to
the Times from Canea, tho Greek con
sul, with his staff, boarded the Greek
I'onclad Hydra, aftet placing the re
fugees at the consulate under the pro
tection of the British consul. Up to
the present tImc,howcvcr,the refugees
remain at the Greek consulate. The
closing of tho Greek consular offices
seems to indicate a definite rupture
between Greek and Turkey.
The captain of the Greek warship
Hcraklion has threatened to bombard
tho town If tho Mohammedans com
mlt any outrages in that vicinity.
Tho Russian and French admirals
have received identical Instructions,
enjoining upon them tho adoption of
energetic measures. This Is probably
in accordance with tho English pro
posals which tho ambassadors at Con
stantinople agreed upon, namely, tho
lolnt naval occupation of Canea,
Retlmo and nerakllon, the removal of
tho Greek fleet and the prohibition of
the dispatching of Turkish reinforce
ments to Crete.
A telegram from Athenssays that
tho British and Italian sailors
cheered tho Greck'troops as they were
starting for Crete.
A Daily Mail dispatch from Rome
says tho Greek minister there assorts
that tho troops which left Athens
had express and unconditional orders
to occupy Crete.

CONGRESS
The Great Arbitration Treaty
Foreign Relations Committee Re
ports An Amendment.
Wabuington, Feb. 15. The senate
went Into executive session, on motion
of Sherman, for the purpose of faking
up tho arbitration treaty. The sen
ate was Immediately Informed that
committee on foreign relations had
agreed upon an amendment which
would Insure the speedy acceptance
of the trcary by tho 6enate. This a
mendmentas read was directly in the
lino Indicated by the 'Associated
Press dispatches putting into
wordsj Senator Turplc's Idea that
tho effect of the treaty would be to
bringback to the senate for Its accept
ance questions passed upon by tho
proposed board of arbitration.
Senator Morgan and the other oppon
ents of the agreement had made 1 1 dear
even that with the amendments the
treaty would not be acceptable. So
evident was tnls opposition that the
advocates of Its ritificatlon became
convinced for the first time that tho
opposition was irreconcilable, and not
withstanding the conciliatory spirit
manifested by the friends of the docu
ment, It would still be necessary for
it to fight its way through the senate .
It was also stated that tho purpose
of the committee was to withdraw all
amendments heretofore suggested by
the committee, In the belief that the
amendment now made would be suffi
cient to meet all objections advanced
against the treaty.
It soon developed, howeycr, that the
proceedings of the committee had not
been so harmonious as the friends of
the treaty had been led to hope for
Other amendments were suggested
by individual members of the senate
during the session. Ono of these
was by Senator Chandler, and was to
bind both contracting parties to this
treaty to make similar agreements
with other nations, whether weak or
possessing large war establishments.
Tho amendments also declared in a
purpose of the present treaty to pro
mote a policy of military disarmament
and exemplify the principle of arbitra
tion for the benefit of other nations.
