Togas What will become of the legisla ture? Will a senator be elected? Will there be an organization? What will be done? The Journal, will from day to day revolve Its vltascope and turn Its X Ray's on the scene and publish what It learns. State Treasurer Metschan's name is being dropped cautiously as a possible loadstone to draw both sHcs into a harmonious whole and foot John H. Mitchell's expense bill. One rumor is that at the last moment Senator Calbreath will Jump into the breach for Mitchell, in toe name of the flag, Mie G. O. P. and an appropriation. Sol nirsch has been at Salem a week with his lightning rod up and his good boy Iky Patterson is said to bo ready to make a flying leap to uncle Sol's bejeweled bosom. Ab In the Dolph tight, the Marlon senator is said to be ready to bolt to the win ner with a ' didn't I told you so." If he don't It is because Mitchell has given him a plum as big as a baooq. Presentiments and predictions are filling the air today. The determina tion of the double-rump joint conven tion to giye Mitchell a rump certifi cate is clearly In evidence and may be set down as a fact. Mitchell don't like the prospect of facing the United States benate with-Bpur)ous creden tials pluce that body has become anti Republican. The orislB in the affairs of 'the, Bern son house will be reached Friday night at midnight. According to their theory of constitutional law their forty days as a legislative body will have expired and they will have to quit and go home or adopt a new theory. The only course left for them to pursue is to adjourn as a rump or join the Davis house. Th Bensonites will seek to take a ballot Friday nlght,and Rive Mr. Mit chell color of title with possibly 32 votes before they adjourn. The con servative members of the Republican party are beginning to realize what the theory of the Rump organization is going to cost them and will hesitate before plunging oyer the brink of party chaos and disorder.

When tho house 'commltteOion coinage took charge of .the1 bill) there was thought to 'bo no doubt that Itould bo reported favor ably, but opposition to the bill has been growlug steadily until It seems probable that If so reported the action will bo taken against the wishes of tho majority of the Republican members of the committee. All the Republicans, who have spoken on the measure beford tho committee, have arued that It would be an embarrassing thing to tho com ing administration. On tho other hand tho Republicans say thatCartcr, of Montana,who has had an Interview with tho president-elect, quotes Mr. McKinley as expressing the wish that tho bill should pass. FurthfT ' head ing on the bill has beon.postponcd un til Friday, and It Is npw doubtful whether a vote, on reporting it, will bo taken Saturday, as tho committee had Intended. In the meantime many communications, protesting against any further steps toward an Interna tional conference ou tho ground that It would tend to disturb business, are being received from business men.
