Walter +. Burrell furnishes the follow
ing statement of the expense connected
with raising 1850 acres of wheat on
Bunnslls estate near Colfax, in the Pa.

A CAUCUS HELD ON TUESDAY,
AND 50 ARE ALL The OTHERS

OLYMPIA, WASH, Nov. 12.-The Spo.
kane delegation Is In hot water. Since
the withdrawal of Hyde there has been
nothing like unanimity among the
delegation on the senatorial question.
The delegation was nominated in the
county convention as a Hyde delegation.
Turner was given no sort of a show in
this home convention, and the delegation
was considered to be Hyde and nothing
else. The Hyde people endeavored to
exact a pledge FROM Grubb, who was
known to be an Allen man, to support
Hyde. The old man refused positively,
and stated that If he was nominated and
elected he would refuse to be bound by
any resolution favoring Hyde that
might be passed by the convention. He
was nominated and elected, and refused
to make the delegation solid for Hyde.
The Turner adherents claimed the del.
cgatlon could be made solid for their
man, but Hydes withdrawal threw the
delegation into utter confusion. Turner
could not count on one-half of them.
Finally it was concluded that In Justice
to Turner the delegation should decide
ON its stand in his case, and caucus
was called at the Spokane headquarters
at 10 o'clock this morning, in which the
question was fully discussed. The best
of feeling did not prevail, but no open
rupture took place.
1t was suggested that perhaps Hon. A.
NJ. Cannon of Spokane Falls would be q
person upon whom the delegation could
unite for United States senator,
but 1t was found that such was not tho
case.
Finally the vote was taken and 1t was
found that Turner could not depend
upon over five out of the delegation. 1t
was complete surprise to the Turner
men. The Ave delegates who would not
vote for Turner are for Allen. The mem
bers Of the delegation who are for Allen
are put down as Senators Eugene Hyde,
Van Houtsn and Watt, and Representa-
tiyes Qrubb and Clark,

GOVERNOR MOORE ANNOYED.

Governor Moore has been greatly an

A DETAILED REPORT OF The SESSION.
The First Ballot Will Be Taken
Next Tuesday-Note and
Comment.

OLYMPIA, Wash, Nov. 12.-Olympia
to-day celebrated tho admission OF
Wash ington by a salute of forty.two
guns, fired from Capitol hih near the
state house. The day was Upright and
cool. A sea breeze blew all night and
scattered tho ovcrhanging clouds and
this mornings sun shoue in all its
splendor. 1t was a perfect day.
Both houses assembled at T.. NJ. and
spent almost the entire afternoon In a
wrangfe as to the time to which they
should adjourn. The senate passed a
concurrent resolution proposing recess
until Tuesday next at 1880 p. A., but
the house refused to concur. If the
house members who favored taking a
recess had had any definite knowledge
of parliamentary tactics, they could have
carried the day by moving to concur
when the resolution was presented. AS
it was, they sat still in their seats and
Hallowed the opposition to move to sus-
pend the rules and pass the resolution
ito the second reading. That required a
two thirds vote, which could not be
mustered. After the proposition had
been defeated, Speaker Feighan said
order, but before any body could make
one, Geoghegan's motion to adjourn
prevailed.
Though neither house could accom-
plish much by remaining in session, the
week could be spent very profitably In
arranging details and getting the ma
chinery in motion for the vast amount
of legislation that will claim attention.
Bills could be introduced, and while
there are no committees to which to re-
fer them, they could be laid on the table
to be taken up when the proper time ar
rivcs.
The senate is averse to transacting any
business until Governor Ferry Is inaug-
urated, but the house seems inclined to
stay in session.
Stevenson's house joint resolution to
take recess until Tuesday next brought
about clash between the opposing
forces. An amendment was offered to
make the day and hour Monday at P.
shaw was first to raiso his voice
xeir-st taking reccssos 30 early In the
season, because he thought it bad policy.
He thought great deal of time could be
saved in arranging the preliminaries at
once.
Geoghegan said recess would not be
doing justice TO the public, and as a
political move 1t would not be wise.
Herren put an end to the discussion
by moving to lay the motion and amend
ment on the table, which was carried by
a standing vote of forty-six.
Seventeen members then asked leave
pf absence until Tuesday.
Browne demurred to this wholesale
proceeding, but the house, by vote of
forty -four to twenty five, excused the
seventeen.
The senate concurrent resolution failed
to get two-thirds vote to pass it to the
second reading and the house adjourned
until 10 A. NJ. tomorrow.
The senate was badly puzzled by the
refusal of the house to concur In its
resolution. 1t also adjourned until 10.

The action ofthe Spokane delegation
does not seem to worry Judge Turner.
He was in happy frame OF mind when
seen tonight. Referring to to-day's
meeting of the Spokane delegation he
said:

present outlook, and am satisfied Mr..

side. | know exactly where stand to-
night, and believe that see my way 10

upon the four Spokane members who

they are concerned, believe that every
one Of them viii abide the resolution,
and cast his ballot for me, but my cal.
culations at the present time do not in.

Judge Turner's strength is computed
tonight at thirty-six votes. His brother
is among those who give that figure.
