Contest for senator.

Salem, Ore, Feb. 5.-From the begin
ming of the session the Mitchell men have
been in their seats in the house, which
they organized with Benson as speaker,
composed of Populists, Democrats, and
anti Mitchell Republicans. Twenty-nine
in all have been refused PERMISSION to
enter the house and make an effort for
permanent organization. Mitchell has
already received the nomination for sem
ator by caucus composed of forty. six
members-a majority of the legislature.
It was therefore decided to force the vote
for United States senator the second
Tuesday after organization. The Benson
house voted Tuesday, but the resolution
providing for ballot for senator failed
uf passage, several senators declaring
while they favored Mitchell they did not
believe the Benson house was legally or
ganlzed, and the joint assembly meets
from day to day in the hope that the
necessary forty-six votes can be secured,
but at present Mitchell is eight votes
short of majority and 1t now seems
very probable that the entire session will
be wasted and no legislation whatever be
enacted, two thirds Of the session having
already expired.

CHURCH PROPERTY.
A Decision from the Pope In the Cele-
bratcd st. Charles Church Case.

Detroit, Feb. 5.-The Evening News
learns that Mgr. Martinelli, the papal
ablegate at Washington, has received and
transmitted to Bishop Foley, of this do
cese, and Rev. Christian Dennison, rector
of st. Charles church, Detroit, copies of a
decision of the pope, and cardinals of
propaganda, in the celebrated "church
wins every point.
The question at issue was, whether q
title to the so-called "Church farm" 10.
Gated in the eastern suburbs of Detroit,
is vested in Bishop Foley, or in st. Char
les church.
|. The cardinals of propaganda at a
meeting in Rome on January IL, decided
that the right to the property was not
vested in the bishop of Detroit, for the
benefit of his diocese, but belongs to
Father Dennison, as rector of st. Charles
church, and was to be administered for
the benefit of the parishoners in the ter
ritory formerly known rs "Le Cote, due
northeast" This decision was referred
to the pope on January Is. He approved
it and added these significant words:
"This same decision shall remain in force
when the administration of the diocese
funds shall pass to corporation to be
eventually established for the holding
of property appertaining to the diocese"
Bishop Foley, as ii we're, inherited this
suit, as all questions to be decided,
were made necessary through acts of pre-
vious administrators Of the church farm
property.
The language Of the pope is held to
mean that the corporation plan of hold
ing church property is soon to be made
an obligation, with fee simple in tenure
charged by the bishop.
