Salem. January 2s.-The third week
Of the state legislature has expired
and the lower branch Of that body is
still unOrsanized. Both divisions of It
adjourned today. The Benson house
till Monday afternoon and the Davis
organization till tomorrow. when II will
simply meet and adjourn. Ii is conf
IDENTITY predicted that the deadlock will
be broken some time next week. There
can be no doubt that the deadlock has
had a disastrous effect upon Senator
Mitchell's candidacy and It may accom-
plish his defeat II the organization
had been effected when the legislature
convened Senator Mitchell would have
undoubtedly been elected as he had
enough votes pledged and had also re-
eeived the caucus nomination.
The object OF the deadlock was to
delay organization in order that infiu-
ences might be brought upon enough
OF mis- supporters TO defeat him. Many
OF them have local measures whose en-
actment they say is OF more import
ance 20 them than the election of a
United States senator. These members
were given to understand that In order
to secure any legislation It was neces-
sary TO eliminate the candidacy Of Sem
ator Mitchell, and while many members
are pledged to Mitchell. they state that
they will not enter a joint convention
except one participated in by both
house and senate. in which case they
would vote for him on the first ballot,
after which IL he were not elected they
would go to some other candidate.
The opposition to Mitchell have made
II plain that they win never organize
the house until Mitchell is defeated and
are using this argument with such ef-
feet that 1t is becoming doubtful
whether the forty-six members win
go into joint convention next Tues
day and vote for senator Senator
Mitcheu's friends say they will. while
the oposition claim chat Mitchell now
can depend only on thirty-nine votes.
II Senator Mitchell can secure his cleo
ton in this manner he will at once re-
turn to Washington and rest his case
with the United States senate. In the
event that he does not, he will remain
and fight it out. Senator Mitchell
claims that everything Is favorable to
his election next Tuesday.

INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE
Four Great Nations Tending Toward
Bimetallism.

Washington. January 29.-By a de-
passed a bill for the appointment of
commissioners to the international
monetary conference The closing of
the debate brought out several notable
speeches, including those of Hoar, vi
las, Jones Of Arkansas. German, ALI
son. and Carter. 1t disclosed the fact
that little opposition existed against
the bill, the only division being as to
the expcdiency Of seeking bimetalllsm
through international agreement. AS
voicing the general views of the DEM
ocratic side, Jones and German favored
Its adoption exactly as the Republicans
desired, In order that the responsibility
might be- theirs. Hoar's speech at
tracted much attention as one of the
most noteworthy utterances of the vet
eran senator made in recent days. He
spoke of his observations in Europe
during the last summer, and his agree
able discussion with NJ. Meline and Bor-
freau. in Paris, and Mr. Balfour in
London, on the advance of bimetallism.
Hoar expressed the conviction that the
four great nations, the United States.
Great Britain, France and Germany,
were fast and inevitably tending to-
ward bimetailic agreement. During the
day Moragn failing to secure an agree
ment for a vote on the Nicaragua canal
bill. announced that it would be urged
to a conclusion Monday.
