M,IpDLEO AFFAIRS IN OREGON.
Henson Organization of the House
snid to BE Mitchell Victory.

Salem. Or. Jan. 22-Serious trouble
was threatened this morning when the
Davis organization of the house met'
hut II was averted number of assist
ant sergeants-at-arms sworn in by the
Benson organization remained In the
house all night. and when Davis, at $751;
started to ascend the rostrum to call the
house to order, he was stopped by three
deputies. who forbade him in the name
of the state from ascending.
Davis asked by what authority they re-
fused to permit him to take his chair he
was told they had been authorized by
Sneaker Benson to allow no one to take
the chair
Davis called on bystanders to witness
what passed. He then went to the other
side of the rostrum, where the proceed
ings were repeated. A compromise was
effected by permitting Davis to take his
seat, on condition that his house ad-
journ before the Benson house was call
ed to order.
Davis then took his seat, and called
the house to order.
The roll call showed only seven men,
bers present. The Davis house then ad-
journed until D. m. tomorrow.
The muddled condition of the organiza-
ton of the legislature can not now be
cleared UP before Monday. both senate
and house having adjourned until Mon
day.
The Davis house. in accordance with
their contention that no business can be
transacted without two-thirds of the
members elected to the house being pres
ent, adjourned until tomorrow, when
til Sunday, and then until Monday, on
which day the fight will be renewed. The
spirit of the opposition to a majority or
ganizing is a desire to defeat Senator
Mitchell for reelection. Senator Mitchell
has already received the caucus nomina-
ton, and the opposition hope to delay or
ganization as long as possible, so as to
weaken Mitchelrs forces.
Senator Mitchell has taken the posi-
ton that even If the senate does not
recognize the Benson house he can be
elected and seated. The members OF
the Benson house and those members
of the senate favorable to him can NEE
In joint convention, and he claims, pro-
coed to ballot, providing they number g
majority of the legislature. 1t Is now
the plan of the Mitchell men to take such
a ballot one week from next Tuesday
They claim that the organization of the
Benson house yesterday makes a de fac
to organization, and meets the fedora
requirement of voting for senator on tn,
second Tuesday after organization.

Madrid that the Competitor prisoners be
accorded a civil trial.
On September Mr.. Olney cabled Min
lister Taylor:
1.-The delay of the Spanish government
in deciding the Competitor and Delgado
cases Is absolutely unreasonable. Call
for prompt action and the reasons justi-
flying past delay or additional delay, II

Replying on September s, Mr.. Taylor
said:
The minister for foreign affairs told
me last night confidentially that the
Competitor case was actually decided
annullng the judgment and ordering g
new trial"
The last communication given in the
correspondence Is dated December Is
1896, from Vice Consul Springer to Mr.
Rockhill, and contains copy of let
ter received from Afford Laborde mas
ter of the Competitor.
The prisoner says he was ordered tt
