TIE feelings incident IL was piece Of
high order OF merit, being very melodious
sweet and affecting. In one part especially,
the flute stop was used most excellently as
imitation OF that instrument with sn ex-
ceedingly touching aud expressive effect. II
reflects great credit on the composer.
The military march in d. by ehubeht,

cellence the song composer, as Ii seemed as
plain and clear in expression as words could
be.
The Theme from an Opera" by Herold,

pose, being an old time dance tune, but in
these times OF the whirlng walt, much
fault can not be found with that stsid old
square dance.

Ii is somewhat remarkable that two of the
most melodious compositions extsnt csle-

first being the above piece. and the other the
Marriage of Figaro" The first part is diff
cult of adaptation to the organ, as the quick
movement is liable to be given with little
too much slurring for the necessary distinct
ness, as was the case in this instance.

The Deadlock Confines.

SALEM, Ore, Feb. p. Both houses were called TO
order at 10 O'Clock. All the Democrats seats were
vacant nearly al having left by the early morn
ing train. In each house there was more than half
the membership, bat not the two-thirds required
by the State Constitution for a quorum for the
transaction of legislative business. Both houses
took recess until IL IS. AS viewed py the Re-
publlcans, the legal status OF the situation
is clear. The President OF the Senate,

stitutional hour for joint convention having ar
rived. the Senate viii proceed TO the hall of the
House, when, more than half OF the members BE-
ing present, a. required by national law. ballot
ing may proceed in the regular and legal FORM
There is, however, a strong opposition 10 this
plan, though no question as 10 the legal authori-
~ for ii. The antsgonisu which divided the Re-
publicans up 10 the hour of adjournment is still
unsbated.
The Republican minority will probably decline
to enter the joint convention unless The majority

The Republicans met in joint convention. fifty
members being present The sixty-nintn

ENGLAND's HUMILIATION.

Not in generations has England suffered
so much humiliation as recently in the SOU
dan. She can not avoid the confession that
the fall of Kahrtoum and the loss OF G en-
erals Gordon, Earle and Stewart are attribu-
table TO her own weak and vacillating poll
cy. Had the forces for the relief of Gordon,
which his situation so imperatively demand
ed, been forwarded four months earlier
within two months after their need was
known) these calamities are not likely TO have
occurred. But their occurrence will cost
England enormously. The moral effect of
FL Mahdis victories over his fanstical fol-
lowers Is to confirm their faith in him as a
prophet" They will follow the more
readily and fight the more saysgelv. Toe
repute he has won among the superstitious
people has already brought large additions
to his ranks. What with the immense dis
lance, the intolerable climate and the BUSH
whacking advantages the situation gives to
FL Mahdi. England must sacrifice much life
and spend enormous money before driving
out the Arab. And then what benefit is the
miserable territory to her?

THE OREGON LEGISLATURE.
The Stormiest Time Ever Known in That
state Resolution to Adjourn
Rescinded.

SALEM, Ore, Feb. 2l.-This city has been the
scene OF the greatest turmoil ever known in the
history OF the State since II O'Clock last night.
After the joint convention adjourned without the
election OF Senator the sixty eighth ballot OF
the session, and the forty.fth ballot of the day.
both Houses retired to their respective halls to
finish up routine business. concurrent resolu-
ton was passed three days ago adjourning the
Legislature until Friday at midnight, at which
time the allotted forty days expire. There is no
law against holding more tnan forty days, but
members can not receive pay beyond that
period. The Republicans being in the ma
lority in both Houses, they Immediately
upon coming TO order, passed a resolution
by viya yoce vote resembling the previous reso-
luton to adjourn. The Democrats were greatly
inoensed at this turn OF affairs, and rlOtOus
scene occurred in the Senate when the Democratic
senator nom Lynn made a rush for the Repubn
can member from Multnomoba, reaching in his
pocket as he advanced. The assalant was caught
by the Sergeant at Arms. Both Houses adjourned
till 10 o clock this morning At the caucus OF the
Democrats. which ended at O'Clock this morn
Ing 1t was resolved that every man leave by train
at O'Clock this morning, thus preventing a
quorum, twO-thirds of the members being REQ uis
lite to transact business.
The Republicans will adopt one OF two courses
either TO meet this afternoon and elect Senator
under the Federal law. which provides that q ma
jority of the members OF legislative body shall
constitute competent body for the election of q
Senator. or they will dispatch the Ser
geant-at- Arms over the State to
DING IN the aOscOQOlng members
This precedent set down by the Legislature
OF 1850, which sent Colonel +. ID. Baker and J. w.
Smith 10 the United States Senate The Demo.
Gratis defend their action on the ground that the
oregon Legislature has lever set more than forty
days and resembling the previous resolution 10
ssSsTn by viva S yoee 1ss thsy state
or usage. They declare that the Legislature is
adjourned.
1t is possible that the outcome OF the whole
business will be that the Governor will appoint,
though his power 10 do so is questioned on good
authority, there being no vacancy owing 10 death
or resignation. This was simply failure 10
elect.

Commits sioner Fink TO Resign April /
The Local Passenger Agents and
Scalpers-Other Items of
the Rail

All of the Chicago lines are free from
snow again.
Thomas Peck. who has been employed in
the freight department of the Bee Line for
some time past, has been transferred to the
Office OF the local passenger agent W. J.
Nicols.
The fight for Washington business will be-
gin in earnest this week, but there is no
probability of war for 1t is general con-
ceeded that rates to this point are low
enough now.
The local passenger agents will hold an
other meeting tomorrow, when IL is proba-
bic hat the representatives of several OF the
foreign lines that were requested 10 discon-
til ne the practice OF commissioning scslper
sppear in person and state whether or
not The, are in favor OF so doing. The local
agents are confident that their latest scheme
for suppressing the reduced rate men will
be success and there is every indication
that they will realize their expectations.
The impression now prevails that Com
missioner Fink will resign about April l.,
and candidates for the position are begin
ming to loom I'D. great many railroad
men are ready to believe, however, that the
trunk lines will need no Commissioner after
Mr.. Fink goes out. for at the present time
there is every indication that the pool will
pass out of existence before many moons
is q mere farce, and its disruption will no
doubt be hailed with Joy. Local railroad
men wonder that Mr.. Fink has held 1t to-
getner this long.
Chicago railroad men are no doubt salts
fed now that the headquarters OF the Chica-
60 and Ohio River pool have been removed
from IL dianapolis to that city. The office
should not have been removed at all. Indl-
annapolis is the proper place for the head
quarters of the pool, this city being nearly
in the central portion of the territory en-
braced by the same, and having easy access
TO all points. 1t is said, however that Com,
missioner Richardson was not in favor OF
having the Office located here IN the hrst
place and he work ed earnestly TO secure Its
removal to the city by the lake.
