ter routine business, the tariff debate
was resumed Breckinrid &c. q, nocrat,

followed by Dingley, of Maine.
In the course of his speech on the

ing to whom he applied such an epi-
thet., Breckenridge answered: II refer
to those who, during the peril and dis
tress of the great civil war, took advan-
tage of labor in the name of patriotism
and later, in time of profound peace
increased those actions until in the 5ist
congress they wrote new law that
enriched themselves. l refer to those
who admitted new states to retain the
power of those who purchased the bal

Dingley spoke in place of Gear one of

avoidably absent in connection with tie
senatorial fight in his state. Mir. Dins-
ley said the pending tariff bill purports
to be a bill to provide revenue. 1t is, in
fact, bill to abolish revenue. In short,
the proposed tariff bill is not a bill for

possIBLY PENNoYER.
That Crafty Old Politician Thought I
Be Working a Smooth Game.

Pendleton, Or, Jan. 11.-A rumor pre-
walls throughout Eastern Oregon that
a movement is on foot headed by the
committee of one hundred Of Portland,
to prevent the location of the branch
asylum in Eastern Oregon and the
soldiers home in Southern Oregon. A
prominent resident of this city said.
THE people of this section resent this
interference strongly which will result
in much injury to Portland and her in
terests. 1t is thought here hereabouts
to be one of Governor Pennoyers sly
moves to increase his standing in the
country at the expense Of Portland.
No matter who fathers the movement
Eastern Oregon people will be quick TO
resent it, and if it is true that Portland
people are in sympathy with it, as ru-
NOR has it, much harm will follow, and
ill-will between Portland and the coun-
try will result"

Mr.. PECKHAM'S NOMINATION.
What Was Developed at the Judiciary
Committee Meeting Today.
There Will BE n Bitter Fight ON Both
Sides, With the Probabilities i'm
Favor of Its Defeat.

The action of the Senate judiciary CON-
mittee at its meeting today, to consider the
nomination of Wheeler H. Peckham for an
dicates that the contest will be bitterly
fought on both sides, and that there vii,
not be early action in the matter About
all the members did in today's session was
to discuss the fitness of President Cleye-
lands nominee for this important position.
There seemed to be a general feeling in the
committee that whatever action might be
taken in future It would not be creditable
to the committee nor to the Senate to
hasten action. 1t is understood that Sena-
tor Hill was willing that the committee
session.. but in 10 way did he urge his view
of the case.
The friends OF the administration in the
Senate and those on the outside also are
probably going to make the fight of their
lives to secure Peckham's confirmation.
Senator Hill and those who will follow him
in opposition to Peckham's confirmation are
just as determined that the Presidents last
nominee be defeated for confirma ton
The outlook is not considered bright for
Peckham, notwithstanding the fact that
q tremendous effort is being made by Mr.
Cleveland's friends. not only in the Senate
but outside of the chamber, to have his
nomination ratified by the Senate. The
concensus of opinion seems to be that the
Senate will reject him by even a larger vote
than that polled when w. H. Hornblower
was defeated.
1t is understood that an agreement has
been reached by members of the judiciary
committee that vote shall be taken Mon
day next on the Peckham nomination.
