Conductors Picnic.

1t has been reported that the order
Of railway conductors are thinking
fayorably of holding its annual picnic
at Eugene this year. This would af'
ford Salem people an excellent oppor,
tunity TO visit that beautiful city SC
pleasantly located at the head of the
Willamette Valley, at a very small
expense. Hood river has also been
suggested as place for holding the
picnic, but not being very centrally
locoted IL is possible the picnic will
not be held there, Salem is the third
place named for holding the picnic
and should the Capital City be selected
its residents will royalty entertain all
who may visit this city on that oc-
casion. The board Of conductors has
not yet taken any official action but
will probably do so in the near future.

FORCING REEDS HAND.
Combination to Compel the Full Or
ganizatiOn of the House.

The apprehension is general among those
respor sible for the appropriation bills that
some of them may fail of passage. While
the Cuban question no longer interferes
with their consideration, the danger OF
their failure is not relieved. There is time
enough still in which TO pass them, but
there is so much bad feeling in both
houses that there is danger of stubborn
fights over every item I'm controversy. The
fact that there is to be an extra session
OF Congress in March anyhow causes
many to regard less seriously the respon-
sibility for the failure of appropria-
ton, since the bills can he passed at the
extra session. But the most serious dan
ger lies in a deliberate disposition in GER
tain quarters to cause the failure of one
or more of the bills.
Some of the senator's are credited with
the purpose of using the appropriation
bills to force Mr.. Reeds hand In the mat
ter of organization of the next House. In
is an open secret among senators that
there is combination to kill appropfia-
tions unless some assurance can be had
from Mr.. Reed that the House will be COM
pletely organized at the, extra session The
motive that inspires this is 10 force Com
gress to enter upon general legislation be-
sides the tariff during the extra session.
