J Liberty sts, Salem, Oregon, i t SMITH. WASHINGTON WS Caffrey Calls Up the Corbett Case. THE ANNEXATION DIFFICULTIES. Presidential Nomination and Other Matters, Washington, Feb. 4. In the sen ate a bill repealing the act granting American register to the steamer Claribel and others, was reported and passed. Fryc said tho act has been passed under a misapprehension, as the vessels were owned by English men. Germany's order prohibiting the importation of American fruits called out a resolution from Davis, chairman of the committee of foreign relations, calling on the president if not Incomputable with the public Interest, to transmit to tho senate correspondence and other Informa tion bearing upon tho matter in his possession. The resolution was agreed to. In accordance with notice pre viously given, Caffery called up In formally the resolution declaring II. W. Uorbett, is not entitled to a seat in the senate from Oregon. CafTcry spoke in support of the committee re port against seating Corbett. He clalmep a constitutional legislature had failed to elect, and the senate could not put a prcium on such a der rliction of duty, and thereby allow the governor to place a favorite of his in the seat. The agricultural appropri ation bill was then taken up. Chandler, who joined in the minor ity report, asserting tho right of Cor bet! to a seat in the senate, gave notice that he would call up the case Informally today-and press It to a vote as early as possible. Caffrey presented an extended legal argument In support of the resolution presented by the majority of tho com mittee on privileges and elections. lie contended that the legislature of Ore gon, which met In January, 1897, wan duly and properly organized under the constitution of the state. In response to an Inquiry of Spnoner, as to "whether the legislature of Oregon might be organized with such power as would enable it to elect a senator and yet, under tho constitution, bo unable to enact a law,"Caffrey replied "that In certain circumstances such conditions might arise." "If.how ever," said Caffrey, "a majority of the legislature can pass a law.a majority of the legislature, under the constitu tion of Oregon, can so organize as to elect a senator. That Is the proposi tion upon which I stand." Caffery's ccntentlon was that the governor of the state could not ap point to till an orlgnal yacancy a vacancy beginning with a new term and where tho legislature had oppor tunity to elect and had failed to do so. This point he supported by a long list of precedents and quotations from the law. lie maintained that the constitutional authority of the legis lature could not bo transferred to the governor. He contended that the Oregon legislature, by intrigue oi otherwise, failed to elect, and that the senate of the United States could not place a premium on such dere liction of duty on the part of the leg islature as would enable tho governor to appoint a favorite to a seat in the senate. On going to press no vote had been taken. IN THE HOUSE. In the house, consideration of the fortifications appropriation bill was resumed. The debate drifted into politics, and Burke, Democrat, of Texas, and Grosvenor, Republican, of Ohio, joined Issue on tho subject of McKlnley prosperity. Japan has been removed as an ele ment In opposition to the consuma tion of the -annexation of the Ha waiian Islands by the United States. This result has been attained by the conclusion of an agreement between both governments, which, by practi cally settling tho status of the Japa nese In Hawaii, removes tho only sub stantial difference that existed be tween the two governments, The exact basis of the agreement has dot been made public, but its gen eral scope Is understood to be recogni tion of the rights of the Japanese in the United States under the treaty with Japan proclaimed in ia)o. During the afternoon further ad vices were received from Ambassador White as to the nature of the decree by the German government prohib iting the importation of American fruit. The simple facts that were established before the last advices were: FlrstThat the decree or exclu sion used the word "American," as descriptive of that place of origin of the fruit, which would seem to in clude Canadian fruit, without ques tlon. Second That the decree, in stead of applying only to fresh fruit as wa at first supposed, includes In the prohibition all dried fruit from America. Among the nominations sent by the president to the senate were the follewing: narry Bailey, receiver of public moneys, at Lakevlew, Or.;Comraodore Charles S. Norton, to bo rear-admiral; William F, Luddlnfjton, assistant Quartermaster ceneral, to be brigadier general and quartcr-master-general.

There are at least two men who bSXevc the nuthcr lode of the great placer diggings, of the Klondike, has been found, and so firm are they in this conviction that they explained to a newspaper correspond ent at Fort Selkirk, on December 24, that they were at the time on their way out of the frozen wilderness to tell the story of their find to those who sent them to the Northwest. The names of these prospectors are A. F. Jenest, in charge of the Canadian Yukon Mining and Exploration Company, and Fred nyde, an erratic German, who lias spent the best part of his life in vainly seeking the yellow earth-hidden treasure. It is alleged that the discovery of tho mother lode by these two men was made known to only a few people In Dawson, but the entry of a claim way up on the mountain where Hunker creek has its source, was a matter of public record. Of the discovery, Hyde says: "The quartz we found Is the richest I ever saw, and tho world will bo astounded when all the truth becomes known. "The placer diggings on this loca tion and that adjacent to Hunker creek, should prove tho richest In tho Klondike country. I mako this state ment because Hunker has its sou rco In tho mountain where tho mother lode lies. When the washing time ccmes next spring I look for some of the biggest nuggets the world has heard of to corao from Hunker creek." Inaugurated, New York. Feb. 4.

Tho Maine, s olllcers and almost the entire Ameri can colony attended the bullfight. Some apprehension was caused, but the excitement of the occasion was not anti-American.

The New York Journal which the Orcgonlan and other gold standard papers have been quoting so much be cause it was fair enough to allow a discussion In Its columns as to tho most prominent candidate of the Dem ocrats for the presidency In 1000 and in which controversy some ono attacks Mr. Bryan, Is also fair enough to state in a leading editorial what It thinks of tho 6o-callcd great speech of Presi dent McKlnley at the great, rich ban quet the other night. It says: "Pres ident McKlnley almost said some thing of Importance. At each crltl cal period, however, his constitutional inability to sink the shifty politician In tho constructive statesman, attack ed! m and he sheered off Into smooth platitudes and vaguo generalities." Tho president talked all around tho gold standard and said every thing but the real thing, He played the shifty politician and avoided the real issue. O.ASTOniA.
