CORBETT'S BRIEF ON FILE.
Oregon Senatorial appointment Held
to He Within the Terms OF the
Constitution.

WASHINGTON. March A.-The senate
committee on privileges and elections has
received the brief in the claim OF Henry
". Corbett. OF oregon, TO seat in the
senate. IL argues that equality of repre-
sentation of the several states in the Fed
eral senate is an essential feature IN the
scheme of government provided by the
trainers of the constitution. and that this
equality Is destroyed when any state has
but one senator. The appointment OF Cor
bett Is held TO be strictly within the terms
of the constitution providing for appoint
ments by the governor If vacancies occur
by resignation or otherwise. Many au-
thorlties and presidents are cited to sus-
tain this view. As 10 the recent failure or
the Oregon legislature TO organize and
elect senator, the brief says;
whatever equity there may be in hold
ing the state responsible for the maifeas-
ance or nonfeasance of a regularly organ
lied branch OF the state government, we
earnestly contend that II would be the
grossest injustice 20 hold the state respon-
sibIe for the nonfeasance OF individuals
who had been chosen TO represent certain
districts in the legislature but who did not
qualify as legislators and were minority
az those entitled 10 sit in the house IL any

day.

CONCERT ABOUT PLAYED OUT.
The Danger of European War In
Increasing Daily.


LONDON. March 25.-The war eorre-
spondent OF the Times on the Mace
DOMAIN frontier says that in his
opinion the Greek army IS not yet
ready to take any decisive steps. The
officers must first drili the raw ievies
and organize an efficient transport sys-
TEN. But the appearance of things along
the frontier is In the highest degree war
like Every possible post Is held, and the
roads are patrollsd by cavalry.
The Times correspondent at Athens says
that all kinds OF ruunors are current there
as TO the expected rupture OF the Euro
pean concert. The danger OF delaying
definite solution OF the crisis increases
daily. The Crown Prince Constantine Is
expected 20 start In a Few days for the
Greek camp at Larisss, and the risk Of a
serious outbreak Is becoming more and
more intense.
The report of a conflict between the
Turkish and Greek volunteers at Aria
has been officially confirmed. Other incl
dents of the same character must be ex-
pected.
Neither Greece nor Crete has been ben
Gifted much In the past by compliance
with European behests, and unless some
visible proof Is given OF the complete
abolition OF Turkish rule In Crete. the
country viii not be satisfied. the eorre-
spondent says. II Is alleged the reserves
VIII refuse TO come out on future oc-
casion. unless satisfaction is obtained
now for Greek sacrifices.
The Ephemerist. which Is obviously
inspired by the court. confirms the state
ment that the sultan offered 10 allow
Prince George 10 administer Crete In re-
turn for the payment OF tribute TO the
porte. but that the powers stopped nego-
tiations. II Is believed Germany and Aus
tria did their utmost 10 prevent such a
friendly arrangement being carried out.

TURNED OUT TO DIE.
SEVERE WINTER KILLING THOuS-
ANDS OF CATTLE.
Not More Than IS Per Cent. VIII Sur
viye on the British Columbia
Ranges-Feed supply Exhausted
on Account of Continued Cold
weather - Zero Weather, and
Nothing to Eat.

VICTORIA. B. c., March 4-cattle-
men OF the interior are running short OF
feed and herds are being turned out every
day to starve. Already over 50 per cent.
OF the cattle have persisted. This winter
has been one of the longest and most Sc
we're In the experience OF the country, and.
though the stock of feed last fall was am
pie for ordinary circumstances. IL was too
short TO last.
The Canadian Pacific Railway Is doing
its best for ranchmen, and have made an
emergency rate on all kinds of feed going
into the interior. Both feed and straw are
being shipped into the farming districts
around Victoria. local farmers having sold
most OF their crop early In the fall. not
anticipating such a long winter. The
fact that a much larger acreage Of grain
was sowed this year on lands heretofore
grass lands has also made shortage in
hay.
Prices of all kinds of feed are rapidly
going up. Owing TO the blockades on the
railways many carloads ordered from the
East have been delayed and this has been
the ruin of more than one rancher, as the
cattle In the meantime had TO be turned
out TO perish.
The Thermometer at Clinton. the center
OF the cattle-raising district of British
Columbia, stood at IT degrees below zero
last week. and 1t was showing and blow
ing a gale.
Reports from Chilcoten say that there Is
no hope OF saving more than Is per cent.
OF the cattle on the ranges.

ILwACo CITIZENS PROTEST.
Against Paying the Bills of . Lobby
fsf at Olympia

SOUTH BEND. wash. March A-on
petition Of A. Mckinney and Or. T, III.
Parks, OF Ilwaco. Superior Court Com
missioner Davis has granted temporary
Injunction or the town treasurer OF IL
waco against the payment OF two war
rants issued By order OF the town council
for $40 each.
The warrants were issued IN favor OF
G. c. Dalton 10 defray his expenses In
Olympia while nghting the bin for the re-
lief of the Ilwaco Railway & Navigation
Company which was introduced by Rep
resentailve A. s. Bush. and which Is now
a law. II grants the company right-of-
way over the Iiwaeo tide fats. where the
cognpany's wharf and warehouse have
stood for years.
The grounds for the injunction are that
the warrants we're ordered issued at
special meeting of the council. whereas an
ordinance provides thar all bills shall be
ordered paid at the regular meetings. and
further, that the council cannot legally
use the town funds for such a purpose.
Feeling has been running high on the
subject Of the company's claim to the tide
lands upon which the wharf Is located
for over year. and exerted considerable
influence In local politics at the last cleo
ton. A motion TO make the Injunction
permanent will be argued before Judge
Elliott at special term TO be held the
latter part OF next month.

paiGn of Education-Con fident
of Nictory

Special TO the Post-Tntelligencer.
OLYMPIA, March 24.-The State Asso-
citation of Equal Suffrage Is preparing TO
go to work in earnest and inaugurate an
educational campaign during the next two
years.
The first step the women in the assocla-
ton Will take will be 20 raise fund 10
carry on the work contemplated. One OF
the methods resolved upon TO accomplish
this viii be to send to every postmaster
in the state a circular letter, TO be handed
by him TO some representative woman In
his neighborhood. who is asked TO raise in
some way a dollar contribution 10 the edu-
cational fund. A woman having the move
ment deeply at heart Will be sent out
among the rural districts TO interest and
organize the farmers wives and daugh-
ters. This woman will probably be Mrs
Laura Peters. OF Port Townsend. the vice
president OF the association, long Identified
with the equal suffrage struggle.
Ia the cities local organizations will be
effected and a strong effort made 10 get
the young women OF the towns enrolled as
helpers.
When a sufficient fund has been raised,
two male lecturers will be engaged TO
speak throughout the state on the ques-
ton, and when the campaign orators are
sent out before the next general election
the women propose to bear their share OF
the expenses IL these speakers VIII advo-
cate their cause from the platform in con-
nection with other issues.
The members OF the association feel
quite confident OF victory In the fall OF
1888.
The next general state meeting will be
held In Tacoma. The officers for this year
are: President Mrs. b. I. Savage. Olym-
pla: vice president. Mrs. Laura A. Peters.

Butler at San Francisco Declares He
Killed Soldier Ten
Vearx Aro

SAN FRANCISCO. March A.-Murderer
Frank Butler, the prisoner OF many all
asses. volunteered a queer confession to-
day. declaring and endeavoring TO prove
that ten years ago he killed a fellow
soldier at Walia walla, Wash. Hereto
fore Butler has stoutly denied all the
capital crimes charged to him: now he is
anxious to show that he is a murderer,
and that his crime was committed on the
soil Of the United States.
" hen II Is considered that within few
days Butler Is to sail for her matesty's
colonies. where the Justice melted out to
mrrderers is stern and swift. II Is not Diff
fcult TO understand why he should con-
fess a crime IN the United States, even IL
he had not committed Ii.
The confession was made 10 a Chron-
fcle reporter. and was related by Butler
with an earnestness that might have been
convincing in the absence OF Information
tending to disprove his statement
The authorities place little credence In
the story.
