There is a general impression throughout the
country that the number and capacity of the
navy yards now owned by the United States
are considerably in excess of the requirements
of the American Navy and that before we in
crease them some steps should be taken to i'm
prove the Navy itself. At any rate, there does
not seem to be any immediate pressing demand
for a navy yard in " the land-locked harbor "
of Brunswick. Georgia. The building OF one
there might afford fat pckngs for some OF the
"very hungry and very thirsty Democrats In

SOME twenty-five years < the Oregon
legislature scattered off into tho woods to
defeat the election Of a Republican sena-
tor. They were not used to Republicans
At that day in TIE state that had been
born under the leadership of Joe Lane;
but Colonel Baker. who had gone to Ore
gon after political failure in both Illinois
and California. gathered the Legislators
out of the woods. and finally had huHself
elected to the senate. Balls Bluff wrote
its appalling chapter in the history Of the
war too soon for Col. Bakers fame as a
statesman; but his Grafton on the dead
Rroderiek made his name immortal.
They have done many queer things in
Oregon in the election Of senators, but
the queerest ofall is the adjournment off
Republican legislature without choosing a
senator. when the next legislature may be
Democratic. But Oregon doesn't care
much about parry, and il the speculative
interests Of the state shall happen to
swing around under the new national
authority. the state viii go Democratic,
and pretty much all hands will be salts

suRagaY's LATEST TRIUMPH.


Ono of the Most Rsmarkahle Operations
Known TO Medical Science.
New York Letter.1
November William McElroy, a truck
driver, aged ~, was shot in the abdomen.
about two inches to the left and a little -.
low the naval. Tho external wound wa
slight n the ball had stopped ut some
point within the abdominal cavity. The pa.
tent was put In bed, suffering greatly from
the shock IL was evident that the dreaded
peritonitis would soon be fully developed.
A consultation was held and Il
was determined that death would speedily
ensue unless relief was afforded In soma
manner. and heroic treatment was decided
upon. Within twenty hours after being
shot McElroy was Transferred to tho opsr-
ating table. Ether was administered and he
soon became unconscious. Elaborate pre-
cautions were takon to prevent the intro
duction OF disease germs into the wound. A
spray OF vapor Of carbolic acid vas played
constantly into the room which, 10 maintain
the temperature Of the body, was kept at a
uniform temperature Of 50 degrees. The
knives, forceps, needles, and sponges that
were TO DO usei wors kept in warm solution4
An incision was first mnde into tho ex-
ternal wound, and 1t was found TO extend
into the abdominal cavity. After the hsm-
orrhags was brought under control the cav
ity was sponged out and the search for the
ball begun A small section Of the intestine
wasdrawn carefully through tho opening at
a time, thoroughly inspected for decorations
and laid upon tho breast between layers OF
cloths that had previously bsen wrung out
Of warm water. This process was continued
u nth tho entire intestinss were taken out OF
the body. The bullet wa found In the last
srction and removed. It was found 10 have
penetrated the intestine in several places.
As fast as each wound was discovered fur
ther search was stopped until tho laceratod
portion was sewed with extremely fine silk
thread. The knits made in drawing the
wounded surfaces together were left in po-
sition.
Aftcr the wounds were closed the cloths were
removed from the intsstines and they were
returned to their proper position within tho
abdominal walls Tho largo ~incision was
then closed, and 1t as well as the bullet
wound was sewod up with silk. Tho opera
ton listed two hours, and the patient was
kept under tho influence Of ether the whole
time. Measures were at once talxen to pre-
vent peritonitis. For two days no nourlsh-
ment vas given through the mouth, the pa

comparatively short tlmo was able 10 sit up

for the nrst time on Christmas Day, loss

THE NEXT LEGrsLAruRE.

As announced in THE LEADER vester.
dav. the senate of tbe United States.
evidently under the mis~apprehension that
the nroiect was a %nolitical trick. has de-
feated the house amendment TO the Iegis-
lative a-ppropriation bin. proyidine for a
new anportionment for members of the
legislature IN this territory. and also for a
new election of members Of that body.
which is to meet in January e
II is well known that the last election
for members Of the legislature was held
without an apportionment having been
made bv the governor. as required by law.
The Organic Act of the territory assigned
the duty of making the first ~appcrtion-
ment to the governor of the territory, and
the succeeding apportionments were left
to be prescribed BY the laws Of the terri
tory. Some of the legislative assemblies,
however, have failed to enact laws on
that subject. mainly for the reason that
the growth of the territory could not be
anticipated or predicted, and a Legislative
act Of apportionment TO be enforced two
years subsequently, would necessarily do
great injustice to the people in the
new counties that might be organized
during the ensuing two years. and who
would remain unrepresented in the next
Legislature. Consequently congress has
from time to time, during the absence Of
any territorial law on the subject, dele
gated the W Of making an approtion-
ment to the governor, until the Legislature
should pass a law for that purpose. Our
last Legislature followed the example Of
some of its predecessors, and omitted to
provide for the apportionment Of the terri
tory into council and representative dis
tricts. Governor Hale also failed to do
10; and hence. at the last election there
were no legally constituted council and
representative districts. The election for
members Of the legislature, consequently.
was without authority Of law. There
were no council districts, nor districts for
members of the lower house. in legal ex-
~istence: and the persons chosen at the
last election to fill places unknown to the
law, would, If they concluded TO act as
Legislators for the territory, be simply
usurpers, and their acts would be in con
travention Of the organic act and therefore
null and void.
To overcome the difficulty. and avoid
chaos and future litigation, Delegate Post
induced the house Of representatives to
attach a clause TO the legislative appro-
p%riation bill. providing for a new apportion-
ment by the governor, and an election,
next autumn. for members Of the legislar
ture under that ~apportionment, which
would give TO all tho new counties the
representation to which they are by law
entitled.
This eourse of our delegate in congress
was eminently proper and demanded by
the ~exigencies of the case; and It certainly
will meet with the approval of all right
minded and u~nprejudiecd persons. No
other method to accomplish the desired
object and to bring order out ~ chaos. IS
