not the executive, was authorized to borrow

Mr.. Allen Pop, Neb.) interposed to state
that Mr.. Brown had made no new discovery.
Prior to any other recent bond issues, Mr..
Allen said he had introduced a resolution
declaring that the issues would be illegal
and the bonds void The purchasers Of
bonds from that time to this were warned
that the title to their bonds was at least
questionable.
Mr.. Brown insisted that the Allen reso-
luton had been no warning to bond pur-
chasers, as 1t had not passed. What he
Brown wanted was a resolution giving a
notification from the United States that the
title of the bonds was questionable.

PORTLAND, Or. June 1.-Returns from tho
elections held in Oregon today are coming in
slowly. From present appearances the leg
islature will be Republican By large ma
jority. The Republicans havsxtwelve hold
over senators in the legislature, the Populists
2, and the Democrats one. The Republicans
will have to elect only four senator's out of
eighteen in order to have majority in the
senate. The state central committee claims
fifteen out Of the eighteen, leaving six sena-
tors to the Populists and Democrats out Of q
total Of thirty. In the last house the Demo-
Gratis were not represented, and the Populists
had only four members out of sixty. 1t is
conceded by the Democrats and Populists that
Bean, Republican. for supreme Judge, will
have at least 5000 plurality. Tonge, Republi-
can, for congress in the First district, is
undoubtedly elected. In the Second district,
for congressman, the contest is Close and

CHICAGO, June la call has been issued
by Chairman Caldwell, Of the Western Pas

to recommend to the house the passage of

a reply to President Cleveland's objections to
the Dill, and the contract system. and an
affirmative conclusion was reached. There
was an attempt to have the bill brought up
In the house today, but the assurance given
by Representative Herman that the bill would
be called up Tuesday, prevented such ac-
tion. 1t was decided to ask the committee on
rrlses to allow a day or two to debate the

Kathryn Western that she is the widow Of
Rish A. Gray, the Duluth man who died a
few weeks ago, leaving an unenoumbered es-
tate of $500 900, has created a sensation which
seems to grow rather than diminish in inter-
est. This may be due to a large extent to
the absolute refusal Of Miss Western and her
representative to give any information con-
cerning her alleged marriage to Mr.. Gray.
Her attorney, ]. G. Bullitt Jr., who Is also
her brother-in-law, simply says that they were
married in Hudson, Wis, about six years ago.
When asked for the month and year Of the
marriage, he answered:

tine," and no amount Of questioning could
bring another word from him.
Before removing to Duluth two years ago,
Miss Western visited here occasionally with
the late Mrs. R. 8. Munger, sister of the
deceased. The relatives all say there is no
question but that Miss Western was for many
years greatly fascinated with Mr.. Gray, but
