Appearances Indicate That the Re-

For.

Salem, Ore, Jan. 1.-THE state legis-
lature met his afternoon. Hon Joseph
Simon of Portland was elected presi-
dent of the senate and S. L. Moorehead
chief clerk.
After some routine business an adj
journment was taken until 4 o'clock.
Meantime, the 20 Republican assem-
blymen in caucus agreed upon house
officers to be voted for, but as the Re
publicans have not a clear majority.
their selection is not equivalent to cleo
ton. Henry l.. Benton of Josephine
county was the caucus nominee for
speaker.
A committee on credentials, consist
ing of three silverites and two Repub-
licans. was appointed: but. there being
a contest to settle, may not report to-
night. In this event. the election of
a senator will be postponed for two
weeks.
Appearances now indicate that the
Republican majority has been out
generated by the silver Republicans,
Populists and Democrats. This Will
probably result in the election Of
Jonathan Bourne as speaker and de-
feat Mitchell for reelection to the
United States senate by allowing his
opponents two weeks in which TO per-
feet plans for his. defeat. There is
great excitement over the situation.

Anderson's Ideas.

Omaha, Jan. 11.-Receiver E.. Ellery
Anderson of the Union Pacific system,
when asked for his opinion of the de-
feat of the Powers funding bill, said
this afternoon:
Il was not favorably impressed, per-
sonally, with the bill. We have nov
spent ten years talking over a settle
ment of the debt. and nothing has been
accomplished. 1 think the government
should take some steps looking to the
foreclosure of its mortgages. 1t should
try to arrange for a satisfactory bid.
which ! think could be successfully
done. The parties holding the first lien
will, l believe, be willing to make a
reasonable agreement to prevent the
property leaving their hands. / don't
mean that the governments lien should
be sold for the price OF the mortgage
~bondholders' offer, but use that as an
upset price, so that if any outside
parties wish to come in and bid more
than hat for the property, subject to
the other liens, that would, of course,
be to the governments advantage. I
think the president should take steps
to exercise his power of foreclosure"

WHAT MAY BE DONE.
New York Herald Correspondent
Gives His Opinion.

New York, Jan. IA Herald Wash
ington special says: Probably before
the end of the present week the ad-
ministration will have taken the first
steps looking to a foreclosure of the
government mortgage on the Central
and Union Pacific railways. The re-
funding bill being defeated, the presi-
lent viii accept this as a conclusive
evidence that 10 legislation providing
for a reimbursement of h Pacific rail-
way debts can be enacted during the
present congress, and he will then pro-
coed to carry out the policy foreshad-
owed in his message to congress at
the beginning of the session, and will
direct foreclosure proceedings against
both roads.
The first mortgage b~ondholders have
already instituted such proceedings
against the Union Pacific, and in this
case the government will unite with
the first mortgage holders. In the
case of the Central Pacific, the gov
eminent will institute original pro-
ceedings, and, unless some steps are
taken by the companies to meet their
obligations promptly, it is expected
that the courts will order the sale of
both roads for the benefit of their cred
itors.
The question of whether it would be
necessary for the government to buy
in the roads at a foreclosure sale, in
order to protect it's interests, is one of
which there is great difference of opin-
ion. Most of the advocates of fore
closure do not believe that such a
step would be necessary. Some OF
them go so far as to take the ground
hat the roads are so valuable that the
present stockholders will take care tC
see that they are not old at all. II
is believed by these men, however,
that if the roads should be sold, there
would be no difficulty in finding a pur-
chaser. 1t has been reported in Wash
ington for some days past hal the
Vanderbilt interests were anxious tC
gain possession of the roads, and are
prepared to make a bid that would
! cover ali the first mortgage bonds and
the liens of the United States.

among members. Mr.. Powers CRep.),
Vermont, wanted to be recommitted to
the committee on Pacific railroads. He
said that every member wanted some
thing done about the matter.
Mr.. Dockery (Dem.), Missouri, made
a point of order against this. He held
that intervening business made the
motion out of order. After some desul-
tory debates, Speaker Reed disposed
of the matter by saying he would take
until tomorrow TO look into the ques-
ton involved before rendering an opin-
ion.
y bill providing that officers who
served in the regular army during the
war of the rebellion be permitted to
wear the uniform of their highest rank

MILITARY ACADEMY BILL.
On motion of Mr.. Curtis, (Rep.), New
York, the house went into committee
of the whole for the consideration of
the military academy appropriation
bill. He explained that it carried $4S9,-
600, or $40, 900 more than the bill for
the current year. Most of the increase,
$35. 900, was caused by a provision for
new buildings.
After a short consideration in which
little interest was manifested, the bill

Under the call of committees, the
following bills were also passed: To

CoUDERT's VIEWS.
Believes the Defeat of the Bill a
Good Thing.

Omaha, Jan. little defeat of he
funding bill in the house of representa-
tives today is the best for all con-
cerned," said Frederic r. Coudert, one
of the Union Pacific receivers.
Il suppose" he added. that the
president will now foreclose the mort
gage and the reorganization committee
will set an upset price on the property
and buy it in. The government Will be
paid what it should receive, thereby
taking the load from the shoulders
of the government and getting the
United States out of the railroad bust
ness so far as the Pacific roads are
concerned. The defeat OF the bill will
make it very much easier for the re-
organization committee to work and
will result. 1 believe and trust, in a
speedy settlement of the Pacific roads

gress. recognizing the independence ot
the reDublic of Cuba and a~ppropriat-
ing 100000 for the salary of a minister
TO the new republic. Much of his
speech was argumentative, and was
supported by precedents in the cases
of the Spanish-American republic, ana
of the republic of Texas; but the prln-
cipal part of il, and that which at
tracted the greatest attention, was the
severe criticism of the president and
secretary of state, and the denuncia-
ton of Italian and Spanish statesmen
who had ventured to suggest an inter
ference by European powers with the
government of the United States in
case of h recognition of Cuba. In the
course of his invective he derlded Italy
as a power whose symbol OF greatness
was a monkey and organ grinder

luton went over without action-Mr-

luton of the California legislature, de-
claring unalterable opposition to any

ate collection of the debt and asking
for a hearing before the Pacific Rail-

A SIX YEARS TERN.
In of notice given last
week. Mr.. Proctor (Rep., Nt.), who
had lust returned from a visit to the
president-elect, addressed the senate
in advocacy of his proposed conStitu-
tional amendments to make the pres
idential term one of six years, with a
prohibition of reelection, and to make
the term of representatives of the house
three years. The reasons given by him
were these:
F;rst-A longer presidential term and
ineligibility for reelection are more
in accord with the ideas n purposes
of the amer of the constitution than
is the present system as it has devel-
oped practical results. +.
Second-The proposed change is not
radical nor evolutionary, but is in line
of true conservatism. 1t is a change
OF the letter to preserve the spirit of
the constitution.
Third-Re-eligibility is wrong in the
DRY and vicious in practice, for it re-
suits in the use of patronage of this
Office by the president for the promo
ton Of his chances of reelection, or
else subjects him to the imputation of
Such use.
