SEATING OF SENATORS. The Question Will Be the Subject of Hot Debate. A LONQ SESSION OP SENATE. Five Thousand Official Heads Await Headsman Maxwell's Ax. of Washington will loos Meet Their Baa Cheeked Blag Influence and leery OStoe Seeker Scrambles for Washikqtoii Citt, March is some uncertainty tonight about the action of the senate with reference to the senators from Washington, Montana and Wyoming on account of the fact that the committee on elections will submit both a majority and minority report on these cases.

It is a hard matter to predict what the outcome will be when the vote of the senate is taken. The members of the committee were so evenly divided that this may have some influence on the senate as a body when the matter is voted on for final settlement. Senator Allen is taking matters very quietly. He does not appear to be worried over the situation and is probably willing to abide by the senate's action, whether it is for or against him. It is said, npon what appears to be excellent authority, that the present session of the present senate will continue for folly eight weeks yet.

The purpose of this, so it is claimed, is to await the return of Commissioner Blount from Hawaii, who, it is expected, will be able to make a full report upon the present situation of affairs in the islands, so far as it elates to annexation. It is now expected that Biount can accomplish his task and get back here within that period. In that case President Cleveland can act and have his action either ratified or rejected before the adjournment of the present extraordinary session. It was quite generally understood at the interior department today that the appointment of a commissioner of the general land office and a commissioner of patents will be sent to the senate tomorrow. It is believed, however, that the appointment of a pension commissioner will be delayed several days.

There are some who still stick to the opinion that Judge Tripp will be land commissioner. It is known to be a fact that some Western man will get it and his assistant is pretty certain to be a Western man. D. O. Finch, of Seattle, may yet be struck by official lightning.

Within the next few days Head Axman Maxwell of the postoffice department, will probably get around to Washington state, and many vacancies now existing in the fourth-class postoffices will be filled. It will be remembered that toon after the last election fourth-class postmasters all over the country began to send in their resignations. Mafljr of them eame from Washington state. No action haa since been taken on any of them. It is now said there are more than 5,000 vacancies in fourth-class offices in the different states.

On account of this fact it will be several days before Maxwell will get time to use his official ax. Applications from the Democrats who want to till the offices in Washington state nnder this administration are not coming in rapidly at the treasury department. Today J. C. McGregor, of Tacoma, applied for a position as chief of the customs division, and Charles A.

Sawyer, whose residence is not known at the department, wants to be shipping commissioner at Tort Town send. The pressure excited by congressmen at the White House for appointments has developed into individual scramble. The president has effectually disintegrated the delegation indorsement system, and now each man is eoing in for himself and pushing individual friends. One result which ths president has achieved and which was his design is the breaking np of ring politics in delegations. Patronage heretofore considered the sacred property of senators, for instance, marshals and district attorneys, is now declared tree for all, and the humble members of the lower house, or even a group of private citizens, may present the names of candidates with some degree of hope of success.

The Democrats in the senate met in caucus at noon to consider the subject of the reorganization of the elective officers of the senate. At the previous caucus the whole matter was left to the "steering committee," of which Gorman is chairman. The report made was a surprise, to the junior senators at least, as it contained no recommendation. The committee has had a number of conferences, but was unable to agree upon a report that should be positive in its character. The caucus adjourned at 4 o'clock, having come to ths determination to nominate elective officers.

The ticket so nominated is: Wiiltum R. Cox, of North Carolina, u-nprtaentative, tor aecretary of the senate. Rhtnchnr.l J. Bright, of Indiana, for ROT. W.

H. Milburn, the present chaplain of the house of repreaentatiTea, for chaplain of the This result was rot reached without a protracted debate, for there was a considerable element of the party that opposed the idea of doing anything that would be a violation of the precedents of the senate and give cause for opposition on the part of the Republicans. Tne question ot the admission of the three senators appointed by the governors of Montana, Wyoming and Washington was not broached. The question will come before the senate on the report of the committee on privileges and elections. The patronage of the senate was considered, for a list was made of employes of llepnblican faith who are to be retained.

After the caucus was over, one of the leading members of the Democratic committee said that it was the intention of the party to make an attempt to elect its nominees, but just when this will be done be couid not say, though a resolution, he thought, might he introduced in the senate at any time. If the Republicans appear determined in their effort to prevent reorganization at this session, it may be that the Democrats will desist and let it go over. It appears, though, that there is no probability of an abandonment of the idea to make at least an effort to carry out the will of the caucus. Mavroyeni Bey, Turkish minister to the ITnited States, called at the state department, and in respect to the charges made by the representatives of the American board of commissioners for foreign missions that the mail of A merican missionaries and American official representatives in Turkey was tampered or interfered with by Turkish authorities, said he should call tne attentiou of hi ment to the and he was satisfied they would be completely disproved. When the senate ratified the treaty for cession to the United States of the Cherokee strip, it inserted therein a clause which provides for for the land to be made in time payments, in place of the requirement of the government for pay in cash, as contemplated in the agreement originally drawn up with the Indians.

This modification of the treaty bas not been accepted by the Indians, but will be considered by their legislative body, the Cherokee council, at a meeting to be held next Monday. The early opening of the strip will be entirely dependent upon the action of the council, for should it reject the modification of the treaty made by the senate, then it will be necessary for the matter to be again brought before congress, which would, of course, indefinitely delay the opening of the lands to settlement. A ten days' statement issued by the treasury department today gives the gold in the treasury its 1106,575,000, a gain of f4.000.000 within the last ten days. Frank H. Thomas, of Michigan, bas been appointed disbursing clerk and superintendent of the postoftice department, vice Theodore Davenport, resigned.

The United States consul at Rotterdam informs the state department that there has not been a case of choiera in Rotterdam since November 17, 1892, or in the whole of Netherlands since January 12, 1893. Secretary Carlisle has issued a circular making the regulations governing the importations of animals for breeding purposes less stringent. The former requirement of four top crosses has been reduced to three, and collectors of customs are given some directions about the admission of animals which they have reason to believe were entitled to free entry. World's Wheat and Hog Products. WASHINGTON CITY, March J.

B. Dodge, statistician of the department of agriculture, includes in his monthly report dates and official statistics of the principal foreign countries. The present conditions are very favorable. The World's wheat crop for 1892 was 035 bushels. In Great Britain there has been a great reduction in the stock of live hogs, the decrease being over 1,000,000 head.

The shortage in Ireland is estimated at 1,200,000 head. The abnormally high price of bacon and pork, as contrasted with other meats, will, it is thought, greatly stimulate hog breeding. KANSAS BOODLE INVESTIGATION. James V. Legate Testifies to the Corruption of Legislators.

TOPIKA, March senate committee investigating the charges of bribery made against high state officials, for having attempted to defeat certain antigambling bills in the recent legislature, was continued today. After a number of witnesses had given unimportant testimony, James F. Legate was sworn. He Tblre was eonalderable conference with ence to the organisation of the legislature. I looked over the list of members and from my knowledge of the men and the canraas I thought there were at least six men who could be counted on.

1 told W. J. Buchanan I had received 915,000 or from Kansas City whisky men for a number of years. Pete Kline told me the gamblers had been compelled for the lsst two years to contribute 110,000 a year to the Republican party of Kanaaa. In the late campaign I told him that If he would lend me 18,0001 would buy a paper and get him protection from these demands.

Kline liked the idea; so did the whisky men. Meanwhile the men I had canvassing the state eame In and told me they would get eight or ten Republican members of the house to vote with the Populists on organlsation. I wanted to pay the men, and told Pete Kline I wanted (3,000. I said he would be reimburaed by the Populist party. He gave me a check for 53,000 and I paid the men.

My Judgment is that it cost the railroads 94,000 to get those four men to algn for Douglas. The latter, or Judge Daster, told me that three Democrats would go into the Populist house as soon as three Republicans would make a break. I sent word to Kline before this that I was going to get a bill through destroying the policy business. Legate explained that he paid to tome men to secure three Republicans to vote with the Populists, but the Democrats, however, would not join the movement. Failing to get the Republicans to break, he sought to get the Populists to join the Republican house, but the raiU roads interfered.

H. Kline will testify before the commission tomorrow. He declares that the most sensational testimony is yet to come. Rhode Island Republican Convention. PBOVIDKKCK, R.

March Republican state convention unanimously renominated D. Russeil Brown for governor. E. R. Allen fot lieutenant-governor, C.

PROVIDENCE, R. 1.. March Democratic state convention unanimously nominated for governor David 8. Baker, lieutenant governor, Daiton E. Young; secretary of state, John J.

Hetfernan, attorney general, Clarence A. Aldrich.

PKIHCESS KAUt'UMI'S FAREWELL A Graceful Letter of Thanks to the AmtrieM People.

AN ABDDCTOB'S ARREST Dr. Graham Jailed at Tacoma for Stealing a Girl. HE LURED HER FROM HER HOME. Effie Posey, a 12-Year-Old Sacramento Lass, the Doctor's Victim. Hla Wife Arrested at Gamblers Move to Cle-Klnm Inkier Malprnctlee Case Cattle Lessee la the Okanogan Country.

SrocAirs, March O'Neil, of Sacramento, and Sheriff Matthews, of Tacoma, are here in search of Dr. O. H. Graham, a traveling doctor, who has lived a great deal on the Coast, and had, for the past two weeks been quartered at the Lewis hoase in Spokane. Graham is wanted for abducting little Kttie Posey from her home in Sacramento, about a year ago.

In some way the doctor got wind that the officers were close upon his trail and last Saturday evening left for Tacoma. This fact was ascertained bv the sheriffs soon after their arrival. Sheriff Matthews immediately telegraphed his deputies to look out for Graham and he was arrested at Tacoma today. It is said that about a year ago Graham went to Sacramento and opened a quack office and soon fell in with Posey's family. Effie waa then only 12 years of age.

By making promises to the child, which she did not understand, he induced her to leave hume with him. They went to Tacoma and other places on the Sound, and about two weeks ago came to Spokane. He took a room at the Lewis house, where Graham first passed the girl off as hia daughter. They occupied the same apartments and acted so strangely all the while that the proprietor, Mr. Swan, became suspicious.

Mr. Hwan says Graham would not allow the girl to speak to any one and treated her cruelly. Effie never went out, but would cower down behind the bed at the slightest noise or the approach of a stranger. It is said that Effie's father. Mr.

Posey, has died of grief since his daughter was carried away. Graham, it is said, at one time offered to return the girl upon payment of a ransom of 9500, which was refused. It was learned today that Graham's wife and the child left here with htm and were sent on to Fairhaven. whither a telegram was set to the authorities. Sheriff O'Neil received a telegram tonight announcing that Mrs.

Graham had been arrested at Fairhaven. While Graham and the girl were living at the Lewis house the girl wore short dresses and appeared to be no more than 10 years of age. Graham is charged with having also abducted a half-breed Indian from Victoria. The police here believe that Graham is none other than Rev. Nathan Wesley Lane, formerly of Lodi, whom they were recently instructed to be on the lookoat for.

WXKLIB MALPRACTICE CAM. The Defense Raises a Question of Overrated. CSSTKALIA, March opening the Minkler case this morning, James Hamilton Lewis objected to any evidence nnder information and moved that the court declare the same void because defendant could not be arraigned for murder upon information. The point has been raised before, but Mr. Lewis in his argument advanced an original line of reasoning, taking the position that the constitution of the United States requires in cases presentment by a grand jury.

Judge Gordon in passing upon the constitutional point refused to render an opinion, realising, he said, the scope of a question for the first time presented and based upon a distinction between the enabling act and the Federal constitution, and said that such an opinion would be particularly inappropriate on account of the fact that he waa at present attorney in a case taken on writ of error from the supreme court of this state to the United States supreme court, wherein a similar point is at issue. The court overruled the objection, however, and the examination of witnesses was begun. The speeches of Mr. Lewis, of the defense, and Mr. Coiner, of the prosecution, on objection consumed the entire day, and were both good arguments.

Old Oregoa Indian Neglected. PORTI.AXD, March John, aged 125 years, was committed to the poorhouse of this county today, a singular commentary on the ungratefulness of the white race. John was chief of the Columbia river Indians in the early days and made friends with the whites, to whom he was always true. At the time of the Whitman massacre at Waulatpu mission and during the threatened outbreak ot the Cayuse Indians in 1852, John ran all the way from The Dalies to Portland to warn the settlers of the impending danger. For the past ten years ne has lived in the Cascade mountains on Sandy river, in the eastern end of Multnomah county, making his living by picking berries and tanning deerskins, but he is now too feeble to support himself.

Whatcom City Printing Contract. WHATCOM. March city council has awarded the contract for the city printing to the Exprcu at a good figure, all the in town having entered into a combination and put in uniform bids, relying upon their respective merits to guide the council making the award. The proprietor of the Etgrest, which is now a tri-weekty, promises to begin the publication of a daily April 1, in which case there will be, for a time, four dailies in the morning lUveille here, the oldest paper in tha county, the llrarid in Fairhaven, also a morning paper, and the Expreu and Evening Timet.

Mr. Laberee. who lives here, shoaed your correspondent a letter from his partner, dated March 12, which aaya that the past winter was the hardest erer experienced, but that their loss is only 125 head. These are old cows and calves.

This is owing to the fact that they have plenty of hay. The loss in that region is ally extremely heavy. Roslya Geasblers Move to Cte-Blsaa. CLE-ELCM, March city council of Boslyn has determined to permit no gambling in that city during the present year, with the result that the leading sporting men of the town have moved their oath la to where EIGHT-PAGE EDITION houses on an elaborate scale are being opened up. It was calculated that 15.000 went over the gaming tables monthly in Koslvn.

Free 'busses will be run from Roslyn to accommodate those who want to "buck the tiger" or play "black jack." No More Smallpox at Sodro. Pepro. March Dr. M. H.

Mattice raised the quarantine oa the house wherein R. I). McDonald, tha smallpox patient, was confined, and, after a thorough disinfection, the patient waa discharged. This was the only case at Sedro, a circumstance largely due to tha decisive and prompt action taken by tha health officer and authorities at this placa after the disease made its appearance. Although many were thought to hava been exposed to the disease, the regulations prevented a turther spread, and the anxiety manifested among tha people has thoroughly subsided OPKRA TRUNKS SKIIKD, Abbey's Italian Troupe Suspected of Kmargllnc Costumes.

Nkw York, March 21. officials at this port believe they have discovered an attempt to smuggle a lot of theatrical costumes into the country. It appeara that a number of Italian opera singers arrived hero on the steamship New York on Sunday. Each one had from two to four trunks, and it is said they declared to the customs officials that they had nothing dutiable. An examination of the trunks showed that they were filled with new costumes, in all enough for people.

Mr. Abbey said he held bills showing that each individual member of the company purchased his or her costumes, and they were therefore entitled under the law to admission free of duty as "tools of trade." There were a few things, he said, belonging to the management, and on these he wanted to pay duty. He said he would submit satisfactory proof of tha truth of all his statements to the collector. Collector Hendricks says that if the facts are as Abbey states, the trunks will be released. OLYMPIC THIATIR CLOSED.

Wilton, of Tarnma, Lost Ortr 530.000 In the Ventura. Tacoma. March 21. lights were turned out tonight at the Olympic theater by tho Tacoraa Light and Water Company just before the curtain was to go up for the Carolyn Gage company to produce "Pygmalion and Galatea." Manager Wilson, of the theater, says he owes the light company a balance of SB3 on the February light bill, and that there was an audience in the house at the time which had paid from $175 to S2OO. A representative of the light company saya the theater owed It about 9250, It is probable that the Olympic will be reopened.

Citizens have not shown appreciation of the class of productions brought out, which were a character suitable for ing attendance from the most respectable classes. The Olympic waa opened on December 24. in a snowstorm, and has had a rnn of bad luck. It was the first theater giving Sunday evening performances here and the experiment has cost Wilson, he estimates, fully $30,000. W.

H. Fife has a mortgage on Olympio property. W. L. Tiles ton, the wholesale liquor dealer who recently failed, was to have paid half the expenses of fitting np the theater, but Wilson finally had to assume the entire burden of the expense.

Some money is doe some of the actors. iAPANIII LABORERS RAIDED. Discharged Southern Par I lie Rande Attack Them. Mbdford, March L. 11.

Fields, superintendent of the Oregon division of the Southern Pacific, reports a conflict between white section hands and Japanese at Drains station, near Roseburg The company, several days ago, discharged a number of white men employed in section No. 27 and filled their palaces with Japanese. Since that time the former have made life miserable for the latter by stoning them while at work and bombarding their houses at night. Superintendent Fields called upon the marshal of Drains and the sheriff of Douglas ccunty to protect the Japanese, but both were powerless to prevent violence. Yesterday the Japanese were removed to Roseburg for safety, and an appeal waa made to United States Marshal Barin.

Last night the section boarding house was covered with oil and set on fire. It was completely destroyed. A special car has been ordered to Drains for the ase of the Japanese, which will he guarded by a United States deputy marshal. In speaking of the cause of the discharge of the white men, Mr. Fields said: We found it difficult to get (tool men fer this work, as the only white men wo can secure are tramps, who get time checks afte' a lew days and move on.

This keeps a force of green hands on the section all the time, so that good work cannot be done aud the safety of travelers assured. LAWYER HOOT'S HYPNOTIC POWER. Alleged to ft In Oefrnadlny Henry W. Dixon of I'ropnrtjr. March IHnon, of New "York, is seeking in the circuit court, to wrest, as claimed, the person and propertv of his brother, Henry Dixon, from alleged fraud and the undue possession and control of Henry A.

A dispatch from York says tie was a lawyer of excellent repute when in that city. AH ALLEOEU riItATICAL TRIP. Sensational Krpnrti Conrnrolng the ntmmnfr WASHINGTON CITY, March No mation has been received at the state department regarding sailing of the steamer Alexander for the Henng sea seaU ing grounds, as reported from San Francisco.

The statement has been made that it is believed the Alexander will trade in liquor for along the shores of Bering sea and that before the patrol fleet starts north she will make a dash for the rookeries, overpower the small guard on the islands and then sail south with a full cargo of skins. If this be true it means that the vessel will engage in a scheme of robbery on the high which comes dangerously near to what international law defines as piracy and punishes with death. There is reluctance on the part of the state department officials, therefore, to believe the report in lull..
