GRAY BROS, The Corbett Case Senator Spooner Speaks in Cor bett's Fayor. lis Sights a Parallel Case Cuban Reso lution Withdrawn. Washington, Feb. 25. All theopentngsession of thosenate, the chaplain prayed that in this ino- mentlous hour of our history the bles sing of the Holy Spirit might rest up on the president of the United States, both branches of congress and all the people of the country, lie prayed that the honor and dignity and rights of our country might be upheld. At the conclusion of the morning business, the vice-president laid before the scnato Allen's resolutions, which was laid over from Wednesday. Allen said that, being satisfied from the vote on his amendment, the fate of this resolution was quite well scaled, he would withdraw it from further con sideration of the senate. Ilansbrough called up the bill ex tending the homestead law and pro viding for the right of the. way for railroads in the district of Alaska. Rawlins objected to consideration of the measure at. this time, as it was a subject too 'important to be taken up hastily. Ilansbrough then moved that the bill be taken up, and Rawlins demanded J the ayes noes. It was decided to proceed with tbo measure. After a brief, desultory discussion, Ilansbrough consented to not press the bill until Spooner of Wisconsin, had delivered a speech on the Corbett case. Spooner made a legal argument In favor of the admission of Ilenry W. Corbett to the senate. lie said that as a lawyer he felt he had no higher or better right to a seat in the senate than Corbett, Said the primary power to till seats in the senate, fron any state, was In the legislature of the state but in the reading of the constitution it ought to.bo remembered that this yery mat ter was one of dispute In the constitu tional convention. Ho pointed out that the constitution provided that each state should be the peer of every other state, not la population, nut in area, but In the number of yotes In the senate. While this constitution could be amended by the action of two-thirds of the states, it is provided that no state could bo deprived of Its representation in the senate without its concent, It was the purpose, undoubtedly, of the farmers of the constitution, in placlmrin the hands of the governor the power to make a temporary ap pointment, to safeguard the rights and interests of the state, so that every state, at all times, might have full and complete representation In the senate. An effective point was made by Spooner when he cited the creden tials of John Walker, of Virginia, who was appointed to the senate on March 31, 1790, by the governor of Virginia. This case was the first gubernatorial appointment made to the senate under the constitution. Spooner said it was precisely similar to that now under consideration, as Walker's credentials showed that the legislature of Virginia had an oppor tunity to All the vacancy then exist ing, but had failed to do so. The senate accepted Walker's credentials and seated him. "Can it reasonably be held," ex claimed Spooner, "that the distin guished men then sitting In the sen ate knew less of constitutional laws than we know now?" Just before the conclusion of Spoon er's remark Bacon( of Georgia, in quired whether, under all circum stances, in case of anticipatory vacna cles, the senator from Wisconsin (Spooner) held that the governor had a right to make an appointment, ir respective of the Inaction and Inabil ity, for any reason, of the legislature to elect. Spooner replied that Bacon had cor rectly stated his position. Bacon then cited a hypothetical case of a legisla ture being influenced by the corrupt use of money not to elect, in order that the governor might make the appoint ment, and ask Spooner if lie would scat the appointee of the governor In that case. "Certainly," replied Spoouer, "un less It could be clearly shown to the senate that the appointee was him self implicated in the conspiracy and in the corrupt use of the money." HOUSE. The house devoted Itself strictly to business and disposed of thirty addi tional pages of the sundry ciyll ap propriation bill. The f bat the government Is preparing for heavy contingencies was recognized In the house, when Chairman Cannon, who has been laboring to keen down ap propriations, accept, without a woid of protest, the amendment to Incteaso the approprlatlrn to care for the un used machinery at the Springfield arsenal. Gillette explained that the neces sity of using this machinery might occur at any time. Resolutions, which were objected to a few weeks ago, for the appointment of two extra naval cadets to positions in the engineer corps of the navy, were also made. One of them will fill the vacancy caused by the death of Lieutenant Merrltt, of the Maine. SILVER REPUBLICANS. Meeting of the County Central Committee Call for Convention. W. T.

At 5 o'clock Thursday afternoon Barney Pompelll was arrested on a warrant charging him with Indecent exposure. Barney was taken before City Recorder Edcs this morning and plead not guilty. Ills examination has been set for tomorrow. For several months Barney has Inhabited a di lapidated building on Water street near State and has at frequent times made efforts to entice girls ranging from 8 to 12 yearsof age Into his rooms on the pretext of having some candy or a doll there that ho wished to give them. The chlldrens' parents became alarmed and decided to take such steps as would put a stop to such practices on the part of Barney Pom pelll. Barney is a well known character hero where he has resided for several years following no particular voca tion but that of lnuflng about the ealoons. Nobody need liavo Neuralgia.

Reports from Havana today havo not changed in any degree the view of high olllcials of the government as to the probable cause of the disaster to ttie Maine. It can bo stated on the highest authority that absolutely nothing of a disquieting nature has been received at the White House, nor Is important news of any charac terexpected until the court of inquiry has completed its investigation and submitted Its report, It can also bo stated on authority not to bo questioned, that the public has been fully Informed as to all mat ters connected with the disaster to the Maine, which have come to the knowledge of the government. Noth ing has been withheld of the least public Interest, and this policy will be continued until the problem has been solved and the whole truth brought to light. It is known thoigoverntnent ins not received any Information fioin ai o Ql clal source tending to show with any degreo of ccrtalnity that the ex plosion was the; work of enemies. Tierc is nothing to indicate that war with Spain Is .Inevitable, a feel Ing of suspense pervades all sections of the contrary ac the day's news shows. The government, without a doubt, is preparing fora poisiblo emergency. Unusual activity Is reported at nayy yards, barracks, and recrultlug sta tions, and where war material is being manufactured, orders have been received to push the work with all speed. As a result fcof tho tendon, stocks and bonds on the New York exchango dropped from 1 to 12 points, and the Now York and Chicago wheat markets were affected sympathetlp ally. In tho London stock market, American shares sold at declines. It is u significant fact that within the last two days there has been a re markable change of opinion in the navy department In regard to the ex plosion on tho Maine. When the first news arrived hero last week experts at the department were nearly divided as between accident and design, but today, after studying the late reports and especially photographs sent from Havana, nine out of ten of the olllcers of the department express the belief that the Maine wns anchored over a submarine mine. ' Tho only difference of opinion seems to be as to whether the mine was ex ploded by Spanish olllcers acting under orders, or by some enthusiast. The latter opinion a generally held, but it is said that this docs not lessen In any degree the responsibility of Spain for the horrible catastrophe. If the Spanish olllcers allowed the warship to be moored to a buoy which was attached to a submarine mine, they thereby became responsible for the result, whether the mine was exploded by ofllclal orders or not. Tho placing of the Maine In an exposed place In the harbor If it was done at all, was done by Spanish officers, and If the mine was exploded by anybody at all, they were directly lesponslblc, and will bo so held by President McKlnlpy's administration. Cuba Victory. Havana, Feb. 25. General Pando, sent emissaries to tho insurgent leader Capote to negotiate a sur render. It is claimed that he has not been uble to find Capote, and that consequently he went on to the city of Santiago de Cuba, by way of Man- zanillo and Santa Cruz, where he ar rived last Tuesday. With a baltullon of soldiers he took the steamer for Mcmcanlllo to commence operations in tho field. A battalion under Major Illvas left Candelarla on Monday to rcconnolter tho Insurgents, When the troops feached the heights they were at tacked by a large insurgent force under General Maria Rodriguez and Leader Perico Diaz iand surrounded. A hot fight ensued. Major Rlvas was killed by 'shots ln the mouth and heat. The Kpnnish column retreated. Its casualties In addition to tho loss of Major Rlvas were four officers and 15 men wounded. The insurgent loss was small. We are anxious to do a little good In this world and can think of no pleasanter or better way to do II than by recommending One Minute Cough Cure as a preventative of pneumonia, consumption and other serious lung troubles that follow neglected colds. Stone's Drug Store. A Smooth Englishman. J. II. Clements, ,vho was arrested at Eugene Thursday charged with lar ceny, was arraigned before City Re corder Ed. N. Edes at 1 p. m. today and plead guilty to petit larceny whercipon he was sentenced to thirty days in the county jail. Clements has been In this city for several months past during which time ho has apparently developed con siderable proficiency In the art of swindling his confidential friends. For two weeks ho was given em ployment as night clerk at the Hotel Salem whereby he might cam his board and while there ho succeeded by misrepresentations, In contracting a number of bills about town, beside borrowing small sums from various persons pending the arrival of a re mlttanco from "the old country." Clements left Hotel Salem about a month ago and fur the past few weeks has been living with W. W. Watten paugh and family of South Salem. Shortly after his arrival there he Induced Mr. Wattcnpaugh's daughter to allow him to wear her plain gold band ring for a few days and upon her request a few days ago for Its return, refused to refund It. Wednesday evening Clements boarded the southbound California overland, presumably for Turuer.nshc informed a file id, to give an enter- trlnmcut, but instead he purchased a ticket for Eugene. On the following day Mr. Wattcnpaugh appeared In police court and samo out u warrant for Clements' arrest. lie was npprchended at Eugene where I e had registered as J.. II Pa tersou and was promptly arrested. Chier nt Police Dllley went to Eugene last night returning with his man this morning. Clements returned the ring, plead guilty to larceny and was sentenced as indicated above. Clements is no stranger hero by any means, as an examination of tho po lice court records shows. About four years ago ho was known her as Ilarry Hartley, no purloined a watch from one party and about 97 In money from a university student, and for which offonces ho narrowly escaped a scnL tonco to the penitentiary. Unless Clements, alias Hartley, alias Patterson does not desist In his questionable practices ho will yet prove a suitable candidate for the state penitentiary. Dr. Cook's Trial. Tho case of State vs, Dr. J. F. Cook, churged with practicing medicine without a license was called in Justice Johnson's court at 1 p. in., today, when the work of getting a jury begun.
