THE OREGON SENATORSHIP.
DOLPH'S CHANCES FOR Re-
ELECTION ARE FAST

GOVERNOR MCCONNELL May BE
CHOSEN SENATOR IN
IDAHO.

SALEM, Or, Feb. 21.-Only one more day
of the legislative session remains, and un-
less United States Senator is elected be-
fore midnight tomorrow Oregon will have
but one representative in the upper branch
OF Congress for the next two years. Dolph's
strength is gradually melting away, and it
is now practically settled that he cannot
be elected. He lost two more votes to-day,
which brings his vote down to 81, or 8
short of a majority.
The opposition say they are working in
the interest of no particular candidate, but
their fight is anything to defeat Dolph."
They say they stand ready to vote for any
one else the Dolph men may put for
ward but their opposition to Dolph is firm
and determined.
George H. Williams received the entire
opposition vote to-day, with the exception
of two. He is looked upon with favor bv
many of the Dolph men, but they feel it
incumbent upon them to vote for the eau
Gus nominee as long as there is a chance of
his election. AT 10 o'clock tonight the
Dolph men viii caucus and decide whether
to prevent an election or name man upon
whom the opposition will unite
In the event of break from Dolph or a
decision in part of his supporters to name
a man, the support is liable to go to George

BUTTE, Mont, Feb. 22.-Ellis P. Pass

letter is as follows:
CEDAR HILL, ANACosTA, D. c., Feb. II.
E. p. PGssmore-MY DEAR SIR: | cannot say
am much elated by the victory by the Repub-
lican party, though am glad that the Demo-
cratic party has met with defeat. / have my
fears that the victory of the Republicans may
make them even a little more Indifferent about
protecting human rights under the constitu-
ton than they were when they were in power
before. 1t is to the shame of the Republican
party that it could protect the rights of Amer
lean citizens everywhere but at home 1t
made no earnest effort to see that the constitu-
tion was obeyed in the Southern States and the
ballot-box protected.
The fourteenth amendment declares that
when any State shall deprive any of its citizens
OF the elective franchise, representation shall
be reduced, etc. No attempt has been made
to enforce this provision by the Republican
party or by any other, yet all swore to support
the constitution.
have not declared for any particular cand l.
date for the Republican nomination in 1896 =
nor do l see any need of such declaration at
this distance of time. The man likely to get it
will be from State which the Republicans
may think it difficult but important to carry.
Old Mr.. Availability will, as usual, decide the
question as to who the man shall be. Still, we
have chance of getting better man from the
Republicans than from the Democrats or the
Populists. Very truly yours,

SUING 4 BIG DRY-GooDs FIRM
An Ohio Merchant Seeking to Recover a
Quarter of o. Million.

An Ohio Merchant Seeking to Recover a
Quarter of Million.
New YORK, Feb. Pin the Court of
Common Pleas Edward M. McGillin of
Youngstown, Ohio, is suing to recover
$3.50, 900 from "John Clafin and others"
of the well-known dry-goods firm. The
hearing is set for jury and will probably
bs reached by April next.
According to statements by Clafin's
attorneys, in September, 1888, E. M. Nc
Gillin ran two extensive dry-goods stores
in Cleveland, Ohio, and dealt largely with
their firm. Accounts had run to such an
extent that McGillin's indebtedness to
the II. B. Clafin Company was no less
than 81, ,200, 900 at that time. For Isome
time previous Mr.. McGillin had speeu-
lated in Western cattle ranches. He
therefore handed over his two stores, to-
gether with certain stocks and bonds in
his cattle companies. Claflin's attorneys
claim that the matter was fully settled at
that time.
Mr.. McGillin, however, in the winter of
1889 brought an attachment suit against
the two stores in Cleveland, claiming
$1,0000O0. The suit was dismissed. In the
present action complainant alleges that
the stocks and bonds handed over in 1888
were of value largely in excess of those
of the goods supplied.

CALIFORNIA EGGS IN CHICAGO.
IN Experimental Shipment That Has
Netted O. Profit.

CHICAGO, Feb. 22.-Shipping eggs from
California to Chicago is like sending Goals
to Newcastle, nevertheless carload of
eggs, laid on the Pacific Coast was sold to
a Chicago dealer to-day.
''This is the first time California eggs
were ever sold east of the Missouri River"
said the broker. 'Never before would
such shipment have been profitable. The
price in San Francisco frequently ranges
from so TO 60. cents dozen. Thirteen
months ago we shipped four or five car
loads of eggs to San Francisco and sold
them there for 16A cents dozen, but last
winter was warm and eggs were cheap in
Chicago. The wholesale price here now is
% cents dozen. The carload we bought
in San Francisco cost us I6 cents dozen.
The freight cost 334 cents dozen, leaving
US nice profit. The carload contains
10000 dozen. We received a message this
morning from the same dealer, ordering
another carload. They are what are called
California ranch eggs. The cold rains on
the coast are now over and the warm
weather has caused the hens to lay rapidly
and eggs are cheaper now than they have
been for many years"

THE ALLEGED CONTRIBUTION TWO
LURID CHAPTERS OF A
STAGE ROBBERY.
CHARGE OF PREVARICATION
JUDGE TooHY PARTIALLY CoRRoBo-
RATES THE EX-PRISON
CAPTAIN.

SACRAMENTO Feb. ON. w. Davis, the
ex-captain of the night watch at Folsom,
alleges that he was wronged by Warden
Aull when the latter says he was dis
charged. He also tells story that reflects
on the Warden's veracity.
II resigned my place on January of
this year" said Davis, "because my sur
roundings were not congenial. Instead of
discharging me, Warden Aull urged me
warmly to remain, but had made up my
mind to go, and had Secretary Smith write
my resignation, which | signed.
81 want to say, too, that Warden Aull
did write portion of the novel Re
deemed. His contributions were the last
chapters, with lot of stage-robbing stuff
in them. He told me of them, and said
that if he had not revised the book it
would never have gone at all
"He also told me of his intention to pro-
vide the funds for printing Bachman s
book, and said he was gong to get half
the returns. He spoke frequently of a
pull he had with Governor Markham,
and of his intention to get Bachman par
doned if that were possible. Finally he
told me that Judge Toohy, who sentenced
Bachman, was coming to visit the prison,
and said he wanted me to take the Judge
around and make him think Bachman
should be pardoned."
Davis also alleges that the Warden wrote
to the District Attorney, who prosecuted
Bachman. This officer did not visit the
prison, but Judge Toohy did, and Mr..
Davis claims that he followed out the War
den's orders to the letter.
"Mr. Aull says I was discharged for
carrying letters from the prison for Bach
man." said Davis. ''There was no neces-
sity for any one to do this, as Bachman
supervised all the mail that was received
for the prisoners and all that went out
He made mp the mail and so could send
anything out of the prison he wished"
According to Davis statement the post
of Deputy Warden, ostensibly occupied by
AulPs brother, was really filled by Bach
man. The convict kept the books, wrote
the letters and even took charge of the
arms of deputies who entered with pris-
oners.

ADTISED THE P4RDON.
Judge Toohy Tells of Seeing Bachn.am
at FOIsOn


Judge Toohy, when asked about Captain
Davis story last night, recalled the cir
cumstances readily. He spoke in high
terms of Davis, whom he had known for
some time.
The Judge met Aull in September last,
while travelling on business for the a. o.
U. W., OF which he isa grand officer. This
was on Saturday, and when he told the
Warden he would like to visit the prison
he was urged to do so. He went on the
following Monday Judge Toohy says that
Warden Aull spoke warmly of Bachman's
exemplary conduct and urged that the
man was worthy of executive clemency.
He also made request that letter be
written to the Governor. Captain Davis
was then called and directed to show the
visitor over the prison.
81 asked him to point out Bachman to
me" said the Judge. 1--WE went to the
office. l saw a very intelligent-looking
man working all alone on the books. |
asked where the other clerks were, and
was told by Davis there were none. Davis
also spoke in the most complimentary
terms of Bachman's intelligence and ex-
emplary behavior. Then, in accordance

Judge Toohy's letter reviewed the trial.
He pointed out the fact that Bachman's
accomplice had been pardoned two years
and spoke of the high esteem in which the
prisoner was held and his splendid con-
duct. On these grounds he suggested that
the pardon of the prisoner was worthy of
favorable consideration.
"They said nothing to me me about the
novel Redeemed though" Judge Toohy
concluded. '.They told me of every other
praiseworthy thing Baehman had done.
but never knew of his writing novel
until l read it in the CALL"

THE SITUATIoN IN IDAHO.
Stceet's Chances Are Gone and Governor.

Nc Co,tmcU Has a Chance.
BOISE, Idaho, Feb. 22-While all the
contestants in the Senatorial fight are
apparently firm in their determination
to prolong the deadlock, it is pretty
well understood that the Legislature
will elect a Senator before adjourn
ment. Sentiment in the Senate is so
decidedly against adjournment without
election that few of the members would
care to return to their constituents with
out having decided the contest
As it stands now Sweets fight is appa-
rently hopeless, unless he can get the Pop
ulist support, a contingency which seems
remote after the failure to secure action in
that direction by the Populist caucus last
night. Shoup's election depends largely
on possible break in Sweet support, and
it is predicted the break will come early
next week, when it is demonstrated be-
yond doubt that Sweet has no hope of
Populist votes.
In case the deadlock is prolonged until
the last days of the session, which closes
March 7, it is expected dark horse will be
put forward. In that event Governor Nc
ConnelP chances are considered extremely
good.
