with a probability of a dead ock or the
election of some new man ON the last bal
lot.
1--WE have had a number of such Sena-
torial fights of late years in Oregon. In
1882 Senator Mitchell was the leading can
didate. but could not secure his election.
The fight continued until the last hall
hour of the session, when Mr.. Doiph was
snrunp as a new man and elected on the
last ballot. In 1885 Mr.. Hirsch was the
leading candidate, but tailed of one or two
necessary votes. The fight continued
until the end of the session and there was
no election.
Two years ago Senator Do1ph was the
leading candidate. He secured the caucus
nomination and it was supposed his re-
election was secure, but few mem bers
bolted the caucus and refused to vote Tor
him. The result was a bitter fight until
the session was closing, when Mcbride,
an entirely new man, was elected on the
last ballot.
The State Senate organized prom pity

THE JURY DID NOT MEET
Postponed on Account of the
Death Of the Vile of Cap
tain Lees.
The Judge Campbell Investigation
May Be Taken Up To-Day-Fish
and Game Warden All Right.

The Grand Jury did not hold its special
session txed for yesterday on account of
the death OF the wife of Captain Lees.
The jury will meet to-day and go on with
Its regular business. The special session
was called to hear evidence in the alleged
pencil-deed conspiracy.
1t is not known whether this business
will be taken up at to-day session or not,
as other matters were scheduled for the
regular session, and it is more than likely
that a special day will be set for the
Cooney matter. However, this will prob
ably lie with Captain Lees himself.
The new Grand Jury has plenty of big
business on had for a young thing. 1t was
to nave taken up the investigation to-day
of Judge CampbelPs alleged habit OF leav-
ing Jail releases about among the more
popular and convenient saloons, and will
do so unless the alleged conspiracy is
given precedence. The park commission
scandal is waiting its turn. and after that
the straw bond traffic IN the police courts
will be reviewed. the Dockery scandal in
the Health Department and some half a
dozen other ugly-!ooking things in the
public service will be taken up, each in its
turn.

Attorney Alexander Campbell, speaking
for the prisoner, drew the atten ton OF the
jurors to the fact that Albrecht WAS an
old man who had pursued an upright
industrious course through the many
years of his life; that he was manifestly
not connected with the alleged crime, ex-
cept that some of the witnesses thought
the defendant knew it was going to be at
tempted, but he denied the truth of the
charges.
This position was established to the sat-
isfaction of the jury, and an acQuittal fol-
