The WATSON Bill Likely to Pass the
Senate-Legislative Gossip.
OLYMPIA, Feb. 26.-[Special. 1.-The House
today passed the Wasson railroad bill, and
settled one very disturbing topic, so far as
that body is concerned. There is not
much to be said about the manner in
which the bill was passed. 1t
was compromise between the East
and West, and the only kind of measure
upon which it might have been
foreseen from the first that both sides
could agree. The Eastern members
wanted legislation on grain rates, and the
Western were willing to concede as much
to them. The Eastern members attempted
to secure more than they said they really
needed, and that was what caused
the protracted fight. Much old straw was
threshed over today, and the usual stump
speeches were made for the farmer or for
the sensitive railroad company which did
not want its property interfered with, as
the case might be. Many amendments
were offered and few were accepted. In
deed, the only one of moment was received
with favor, and that was to omit
from the articles enumerated in bill
oats, rye and faxseed. The other
amendments proposed by the committee
had already been accepted by the House.
The overwhelming vote the measure re-
ceived on final passage discloses that the
great majority was in favor Of a bill Of
this kind, and that they were almost unan-
imously glad to be able to dispose finally
of the question. What the Senate will do
Is of course matter of conjecture, but
it is unquestionably favorable to the prin-
ciple of the Wasson bill. 1t may attempt
to change its form to some extent, and to
relieve it of the ambiguity with which ig
has been charged, but the bill is not at all
likely to be voted down upon square
issue.
The bill providing additional superior
court Judges in various counties of the
state, which passed the House a short
time ago, came up in the Senate this morn
ing, and was passed with one amendment.
The amendment applies TO the Whatcom
and Snohomish county judgcships, and
was offered by Senator Richards. The
bill provided thai Judge VIM. now super
Tor Judge of Snohomish. Whgfcom AMI
Skagit, shall be judge of Whafcom and
San Juan. The amendment strikes out
the words WhatcoIn and san Juan where-
ever they appear. and inserts therefor
Snohomish and ki:sap, thereby compel.
ling Judge Winn to preside over the last
two counties. Senator vestal opposed the
amendment but without success. The
emergency clause was defeated. II there
was ever any question about King and
Pierce counties getting additional Judges
il is settled now for this session. The last
faint hope that the Senate might come To
the succor OF those who want the judges
has f.ickered out.
One Of the most important bills OF tho
session was passed by the Senate today. It
is Senator Forests revenue bill, submit
tee on public revenue and taxation, and 10
the longest bill twice over on file. covering
more than thirty pages Of printed paper.
II passed without amendment, except

OLYMPIA, Feb. 26.--fSpecial. Repre-
sentative Metcalfe defended himself elo-
qnently and with remarkable ability to-
day, and the House by decided vote re-
Jected the resolution to expel him. The
resolution was not called up this morning,
and it was not until the railroad matter
had been disposed of that tho other more
exciting topic was taken up. The lobby
had been unusually full of visitors the
whole day, anticipating that bitter fight
would occur over the resolution, and when
this discussion began senators and others
came in until standing room was at
premium.
The debate lasted two hours, and the
representative from Stevens quietly list
ened to all the animadversions cast upon
him, and apparently was not more inter-
ested in the proceedings than in other
topics before the House, but when the.
time came Metcalfe proved that he was
able to cope in debate with any member
on the floor. and made an address so Wig
orous and so telling in effect that he was
listened to from beginning to end with
rapt attention, and cheered roundly when
he finished.
1t was not until after o'clock this
afternoon that the matter was reached.
When the resolution had been read, Gar
retson of Pierce rose to support it.
Garretson maintained that this legisla-
ture had duty to perform. He con-
tinued:
We must ret an example to posterity. No man
has right to aspire to . seat in this house and
to act as spy, informer and traitor. It lily be-
comes US to investigate the crimes of others, ~
In the 5udgeship matter, before we purge our
selves and remove the curse within our doors.

State, the Democrats have given the Repub-
lcans a tremendous free silver lever with

effect. Still it is generally recognized
that McKinleyism :s directly on trial in Ohio,
and even free silver without Doodle would
hardly be sufficient 10 insure the defeat of
Governor Campbell or the tariff reform issue.
Therefore it is necessary that the monopolists

millions TO avert the dethronement OF the

under the forms of law, through the medium

Since the m%onopolists, then. can only be
