Clancy also kicked him. A grand juror and burgess assisted to get Clancy to the lookup. from which he was baIled out in ten minutes time. There will be plenty of law to-day.

DoLPH BEATEN.
General Mcbride Chosen to Be the Second Oregon Senator.

Oregon Senator.
 SALEM, Or, Feb. 25.-The struggle for tho election of successor to J. N. Dolph in the United States senate, which has been carried On in the legislature for & days, came to n close by the election of General W. c. Mcbride, ex-secretary of state. The contest has been a bitter one from beginning to end, and up to 30 min. utes before the hour set for final adjourn. ment 1t looked as though there would be a deadlock.
 Senator Doiph held 37 votes solid, enough to defeat an election, up to the time when recess was taken for tivo min utes. Tho excitement was growing in tense, and it was evident that If Oregon was to have two senators in the next sen ate something must be done at once, as midnight, tho hour set for final adjourn ment, was rapidly approaching.
 When the joint assembly was called to order again, the first few names called showed change in the vote. but when tho name of CleetOn, strong Dolph man, was reached he arose, and immediately the vast assemblage became silent. It was evident some action had been decided on by the Dolph men. He spoke for n couple of minutes, and when he mentioned the name of McBride the house broke into a wild hurTah.
 He then recorded his vote for Mcbride. Each succeeding Republican whose name was called voted for Mcbride, and when he had received 45 votes-thc number nee, essary to n choice-alnid great cheering a motion was made to have all the Repub- licnn votes rccorIlcd for Mcbride. and il was carried with Il rush. Mcbride there fore received = votes, being that of every Republican in the legislature. Mir. Me Bride was in no sense candidate for thC office, though his namc had been mention ed in connection with the Scnatorship.

LEAGUE IN DANGER.

New Haven Mays Place a Team iH the
 Eastern Association.
 It looks as if the attempt to resurrect professional base ball in Connecticut tn is year would prove a failure. Tbere are already signs of disaffectlon and it is by no means certain that the season will open with the league composed of the clubs that are now members of it. In this city the refusal of the Traction Go to it up the West End grounds has taken the enthusiasm out of the local lovers of the sport, and it is doubtful whether anyone will consider it a good risk to give a team financial backing. Iu Hartford there has evidently been some disagreement be- tween the men who are back of the team, which has resulted in John Henry pub fishing an or en letter to the effect that he will neither manage nor play on the team during the coming season. New Haven wants a team and may join the Eastern league. Manager Burns wants to transfer his Springfield team to New Haven and may succeed. in which event the proposed state league would collapse.

 NEW BRITAIN, Feb 25.-Ex- Congress- man Vance in relation to the statement of ex-Governor Waller concerning the cor rupt use of money in Connecticut cleo tions. prints the following in to-day's Herald: According to some of tho papers ex-Governor Waller is anxious to tell what he knows about the expenditures made by the democratic committee of Connecticut in the campaign of 1892. This is all right, and while he is about it. he might tell about the campaign of 1884. when he ran for governor, and about which he has much more definite information. And in order to make the investigation complete. as is should be. ex-Governors Lounsbury and Bulkeley should be summoned to tell just how much was spent when they were elected.

 America is better known, will appear this evening in his great play Forgiven" at the opera house. "Forgiven" has stood the test of years. and was never so appre- ciated as now. Mir Bryton is almost as well associated with it as Joseph Jefferson is with kip Van Winkle." Eight years of prosperity in every section of the country is sufficient guarantee of the true merit of the play.
 A Celebrated Case"
 The prologue of the drama, A Cele- brated Case" with it's sensational effects, creates an appetite for the play proper which follows. Atthe opening of the play it is shown that Adrieane. the convicted soldiers little daughter. has been odopted by the Oneness D Aubeterre, who is also the guardian of Valentine. the daughter of of the late Count De Mornay In this act Lazare, assuming the title of the Count De Mornay. and fortifying his claim by the deeds and papers he had stolen from the murdered woman. returns to France under the protection of a new dynasty and lays claim to the estates of the Count De Mornay, and also assumes the parent. age of the counts daughter. John Ren. aud also appears in the guise of a convict and in a highly dramatic scene hIs rela- tiouship to the adopted daughter of the duke is discovered. The latter sets about proving her fathers innocence and secur. iug his liberty. O'RouTke, a comic but shTewd Irish servant and a former com rade of John Renaud. rendering valuabls assistance.

John Renaud's accusation is as .c al. of the College D'Hyeres. who knew tn real count, and recognizes Lazare as al impostor. The play ends by the arrest o Lazare and the restoration of John Rsnaut to his liberty. A very pretty love under plot and considerable comedy work run through the play.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25-Thc news of the election of George W. Mcbride as United States senator from Oregon was q great surprise to the congressional delegation from Oregon. Mir. Mcbride, though well known in his state. had not been in any way mentioned for senator, and it was supposed besides that his health would not permit him to be a candidate for any office He was in this city about q month ago on his way back to Oregon from New York, where he had undergone surgical opera ton.
 In speaking of the matter today. Repre- sentative Hermann of Oregon said: have known Senator Mcbride intimately for years. He was competitor of mine in 1884 before the Republican convention for tho nomination to congress. Before that he was a member of the state legisla- ture and speaker of the house of represent. atives. In 1887 he was cle ctcd secretary of state and reelected in 1891. serving al together eight years. His term has just closed. He has suffered so from intlamma- tory rheumatism that he had practically withdrawn from politics ard was not elect ed to any office at the end of his term.
