WEBFOOT POLITICS.
A Sunday Legislative Session Is Barren
of Result.

SALEM, Ore, Jan. 24.-Just seven
members arswered roll call at the Sun
day session of the Davis house tonight.
The session was purely perfunctory,
and after few minutes wait the house
adjourned until tomorrow. The close
of the two days recess sees no change
in the hard fight over the resolution to
notify the governor Senator Mitchell
has remained in Salem with most of his
lieutenants, and has been actively in
terviewing senators. Mr. Brownell is
still sick. and it is not likely that he
will be present tomorrow. To pass the
resolution it is absolutely necessary to
have fifteen besides Brownwell. Mitch
ell had not obtained them Friday, and
there is no.apparent change in the sit
uation tonight. If the resolution comes
up in the senate tomorrow afternoon
the prospect is that it will be beaten.
But the vote is known to be exceeding
" close, and no prediction can be made
with the assurance that it will be veri-

\ VERY NARROW ESCAPE
A Bologna Sausage That Had Strych-

The Stomach Pump Just Saves I. w
Smiths Life at the Receiving Hos
pital This Morning

At 1 o'clock this morning I. w. Smith.
foreman of the coaling gang at the
Southern Pacific railroad yards, sat down
to eat his lunch. Smith resides at the
corner of f and Arroyo Seco streets and
had taken for his lunch a piece of bo-
logna sausage that his butcher, whose
name he does not know, had left at his
house.
The sausage tasted bitter and Smith
did not eat much of it, throwing the
rest away. He had, however, eaten
enough to nearly cost him his life. Very
shortly after his sparse meal he was sud-
denly attacked by commissions, his body
began to stiffen, and all the symptoms
of strychnine poisoning became appar-
ent.
His mates speedily summoned hack,
bundled him in. and drove furiously to
the receiving hospital, arriving there at
= o'clock.
DR.. Hagan at once applied the stomach
pump. So racking were Smiths con-
vulsions that in spasm his teeth
snapped right through the wire tubing
of the instrument.
The pump. however, did it's work eff
fectually. and the poison was eradicated.
Smith is resting easily, and DR.. Hagan
pronounces him out of danger.
The mystery how the strychnne got
on the sausage has yet to be solved, and
the authorities will investigate the cur

LONDON, Jan. 24.-(Copyright 1S97)
The special representative of the AS
sociated Press, who Is travelling through
the famine districts, in company with
the governments party of inspection,
sends a dispatch today from Kolhapur.
He says that the reports which have
been sent to England and the United
States of the acute famine said to exist
in Southern Maharashtra states have
been exaggerated, so far as his observa-
tion has extended. A scarcity of grain
does, indeed. prevail in the extreme east
ern portion of this region but the people
there were able to escape want by mi
grating, most of them to the fertile
Kanion plains and elsewhere, where the
shortness of grain supply is not felt.
Rice is plentiful and means and meas
ures for the hungr~s are pronounced ade-
quate where needed.
The Maharajah, in an interview with
the Associated Press representative on
the prospects of his people escaping star
walton, said his state expected famine
every five years and was, therefore, not
taken unawares or unprovided when 1t
came. They were prepared he said, to
spend five lahks of rupees for relief in
his territory.
The British resident was also inter
viewed and confirmed the statement of
the maharaj jah as to the situation, ad-
ding that relief organization was eff
cient in the Bombay province and that
the difficulties from famine and of secur-
ing and distributing relief were lighter
than in former famines. The resident
summed up his views as follows: My
observation has been in travelling over
inc is not severe there, although it may
increase. In the districts in which
have travelled, l have not heard of a
single death from starvation"

general on the famine outlook in India

rain has fallen in the Punjaub district.

a little fall in prices in the Punjaub.
