TWO HOUSES IN OREGON CLASH
Compromise Reached i'm Time to Pre-
vent Serious Trouble

SALEM, Ore, Jan. 22.-Serious trouble
was threatened this morning when the Davis
organization of the house met, but it was
averted. A number of assistant sergeants-at-
arms sworn in by the Benson organization
had remained in the house all night, and
when Davis, at $50, started to ascend the
rostrum to call the house to order he was
stopped by three Of the deputies, who forbade
him in the name of the state of Oregon from
ascending. Davis asked by what authority
they refused to permit him to take his chair
He was told that they had been told by
Speaker Benson to allow no one to take the
chair. Davis repeated his question, and after
II had again been answered called on by
ISLANDERS to witness what had passed. He
then went on to the other side of the res
trum. where the proceedings were opened.
At this juncture a compromise was effected
by permitting Davis to take his seat pro
vided his house adjourned before the Benson
house assembled. Davis then took the chair
and called the house to order. A roll call
showed only seven members The Davis
house then adjourned until 2 p. m. tomor-
row.
The Benson house met today and, after
transacting preliminary business, adjourned
till Monday. The senate also adjourned till
Monday afternoon, which will undoubtedly
delay the voting for United States senator

In the Wyoming legislature several petitions
were presented to the lower house praying

bounty on predatory animals. Mr.. Burritt

to prohibit the removal OF cattle from Wyo-

Mr.. Nesbt introduced a resolution pro-
viding for the printing OF 1000 copies of
the state constitution for the use of mem
bcrs and for general distribution. The reso-
luton was referred to the committee of the
whole and was at once indefinitely post
poned.
The live stock committee returned a num-
bor OF petitions which had been referred to
1t asking for legislation affecting the range
rights OF sheep and cattle growers. with
the report that the house has no jurisdiction
over the open range. and no legislation
affecting It could be passed
The resolution favoring Cuban independ-
ence was the subject of extended debate
and much oratury. Representative Nichols
stated that he had unbounded sympathy for
the Cubans in their struggle for independ-
ence but he did not believe in endorsing the
Cameron resolutions because II had been
practically decided that these resolutions
favored a course which is violation of inter-
national law. Mr. Tdball supported the reso-
luton, saying IL was the right and duty
of the government OF the United States
to recognize the independence OF
Cuba and to aid the Cubans In their
struggle for liberty. Mr.. Tidball
denounced the inacton OF President Cleve-
land in strong terms. Mr. Jennings sup
ported the resolution and said he would vote
for ii. even ii he knew II would result in war
with Spair. Mr.. Bergman supported the
resolution. He believed that 1t was the
duty OF all Americans to support any pol
icy which will tend to aid any people at
tempting to gain their freedom. Mr.. Burrett
thought the resolution was too narrow and
should be framed so as to endorse any reso-
luton which might be before congress in
aid of the Cubans. After an hours spirited
debate upon the subject the resolution was re-
ferred back to the committee on federal
relations, with instructions to frame
substitute on the lines suggested by Mr.. Bur-
rett.

CANTON, Jan. 22.--More visitors than
usual rang the front door bell of the Ne

cent as to the nature OF their visits. Among
the first to obtain an audience were Charles
II. Dalton and Stephen NJ. Weld of Boston
and Persoe C. Cheney of New Hampshire
These gentlemen were closeted with the
governor nearly an hour. 1t Is practically
understood that they are here in the inter

are in advance OF the Boston delegation eX-
pected later In the day.
The 1910 train brought to Canton three
well known Pittsburgers, Messrs. Chris

for publication. When asked whether he
would say good word for Governor Hast
ings, he replied that personally he might
say something to Major Mckinley about
Hastings. Asked to the probability OF
Charles Emory Smith going into the cabi-
net, Mr.. Magee said he had nothing to say
on the subject. The three were driven to
the Hereford houee and thence to the Me
Kinley residence
Another visitor of Importance was Fred

rived last evening and dined with the major.
He said this morning that the object of his

CONSOLIDATION OF THE SYSTEM
Relief that short Line Purchasers
May Take Union PrciHc.

May Take Union Pacific.
There is a growing belief among officials
of the Union Pacific railway that the re-
organization committee, which a few days
ago purchased the Oregon Short Line G. Utah
Northern, will buy in the remaining frag-
ments of the system when offered for fore
closure sale by the government. They are
particularly anxious TO believe such pur-
chase to be most likely as that would indi-
cate that there would be no changes in the
management, and the roster of officials
would then remain just as it appears today.
Every straw that points this way is eagerly
seized by the officials, and the latest event
in this line is especially well liked.
The occurrence that has just confirmed
the belief of the hopeful that the purchasers
OF the Union Pacific will be identical with
'tftse who bought the Shore Line is the is
suance of an order by the receivers directing
the Union Pacific to make contracts for the
annual supply of cross ties for the Oregon
Short Line & Utah Northern railway. The
contracts for ties that will be needed on tho
Union Pacific system during the year 1897
we're awarded about a fortnight ago, as pub
lished by The Bee at that time. These con-
tracts called for ties for use on the Union
Pacific system alone, and II was announced
at that time that no ties would be bought
for the Short Line, as that road would soon
be operated independently of all other con
nectons.
Now comes the order to buy sufficient ties
for the Short Line to last throughout the
year. The contracts were awarded yester-
day and call for 43S 600 ties of red fir. They
will be cut in Oregon and used on the Short
Line. General Purchasing Agent GriGlths
yesterday explained that the reason the
contract has been given out for Short Line
ties was that March might be too late to
secure good ties at reasonable prices and
that the segregation OF the Short Line would
probably not come before that time. The
incident is generally considered to be in
dlcatlve of the fact that the segregation of
the Short Line will be merely nominal and
that it will continue to be operated in the
closest conjunction with the Union Pacific
