SITUATION AT SALEM.
characterized by Senator Mitchell
as Revolutionary.

SALEM, Ore. Feb. 22-Yesterday
was very quiet one around the cap
ital. Nearly all the members left the
city Saturday. but most of them re-
turned today. Senator Mitchell, in con-
versation last night, said that so far
as he was personally concerned, he did
not care whether he was returned to
the United States senate or not. He
had served three terms already and
was content to retire on his record, if
it should be decided that the interests
of the state could be better served by
some one else. 1t was very essential.
though, that a Republican senator
should be elected at this time and he
was perfectly willing that any one of
q dozen Republicans who might be
named, should be chosen. He charac-
terized the present situation as revolu-
tionary, deserving of condemna ton by
all having the interests Of good govern
ment at heart. He was not in the least
discouraged over the outlook 1t was
the intention of the minority, who are
holding up the legislature. to name q
senator. This he did not propose to
let them do. He was master of the
situation. and If another person than
himself was to be chosen, he should
be named by the majority and not by
the szlanorfty.

SENATOR NELSON'S REASONS
For Asking That the Arbitration
Treaty BE Laid Aside

NEW YORK, Feb. 22-In a telegram to the
New York World Knute Nelson says:
In view of the fact that 1 made the mo-
ton to postpone the consideration Of the arbi-
tration treaty, l feel free to state that it
was not due to any hostility to the treaty
ITSELF On the contrary, l have been from the
first an earnest supporter of the treaty be-
lieving that it embodies the humane princi-
pie of arbitrating international differences
and 1 am hopeful that the treaty will be
ratified at the next session Of the senate
For the present, however, it seems that the
questions of the most urgent concern to our
people should receive the immediate attention
of the senate. Chief of these is the bank
ruptcy BILL which l regard of vital Importance
to our commercial and Industrial interests
The treaty will not be jeopardized by wait
ing, but its prospects of ratification will be
materially advanced.
On the other hand, the bankruptcy measure
and other important legislation for our people
will fail utterly unless acted upon at once
The treaty has aicontinuing existence be-
yond March 4; the bankruptcy and kindred
important bills haze. not.
Thousands of worthy men are being pressed
down by business adversely for lack of
bankruptcy law. Cuba, Armenia and other
foreign questions have had their day in
court 1t seems onlyl just, therefore, that
our own affairs should receive that atten-
ton they imperatipely3 demand.
This done, the way is clear to a judicious
consideration Of this mpmentous treaty.

CIVIL SERVICE BLOW.
Mckinley Will Revoke the Order of
President Cleveland.

CHICAGO, Feb. %. - The News
Washington special says: 1t will be
good news to the office-seekers that
President Mckinley is likely to sus-
pend or revoke the sweeping civil serv-
ice order Of President Cleveland,
whereby nearly all the offices in the
executive branch of the government
are taken into the civil service list
Gen. Grosvenor, of Ohio, who is one
of McKinley's closest friends, and
who has been one Of his stanchest and
most capable political supporters. said:
81 believe that President Mckinley
will revoke or suspend the sweeping
order which took all of the offices into
the civil service classifications. I have
been investigating the matter thor
oughly and one of the ablest lawyers
in this entire country has given me
an opinion covering the case. He says
that an executive can revoke his own
deeds, just as a legislative body can
reconsider an act. 1t is not probable
that Cleveland will change his mind
on the civil service order. but it is
within his power to revoke his own
act His successor will not be bound
by Cleveland's action. Mckinley will
be president, and will administer the
executive department as he sees fit.

TO SEIZE THE SULTAN
Was the Plan Advocated by One of
the Powers.

PARIS, Feb. 22-In the chamber of
deputies today M. Denyscochin, Right
list, questioned the government on the
Cretan question. He said that the re-
turn of the island to Turkish rule was
now impossible. M Millerand, Social
list, supported M. Denyscochin's re-
marks. He said that all the powers
were not acting from disfnterested
motives, and Frances sole care should
be the honor and interests of France.
His statement was greeted with cheers
from the left.
M. Hanotaux, the minister Of foreign
affairs, replying to M. Denyscoch1n
who also criticised the governments
Armenian policy, said that Europe had
the choice Of forcible or pacific meas
ures, and she chose the latter. There
fore, France could not, herself, inter-
vene forcibly. One power, he added,
had actually proposed forcing the pas

wOLCOTT'S FAILURE FLAT.
Pail Mall Gazette Discusses His Mis-
sion in Europe.

LONDON, Feb. 22.-The Pail Mall
Gazette this afternoon published a
long article on the mission of Senator
Edward o. Wolcott to Europe. 1t con-
cludes with saying: There is no evil
dence that Mr.. Mckinley is in sympa-
thy with Senator Wolcott's mission
Every effort to discover the faintest
Indication that his visit to Europe vas
even unofficially sanctioned has failed
Senator Wolcott came as private adj
vocate of a cause discredited by z
majority Of his fellow countrymen
Under such circumstances, to expect
that he would receive official support
from the foreign opponents of such
cause requires a degree of child-like
simplicity rare anywhere, and which
no one would expect to find in Colorado
On his return, Senator Wolcott will
find that the newspapers alone will
display any anxiety regarding the re-
suit Of his personally conducted Eu-
rOpean tour. He has met many dis
tinguished people in England, France
and Germany; but in not one Of these
countries did he find that bimetallism
was considered necessary to it's welfare.
Though the mission was absolutely
fruitless, it was quite as successful as
it deserved to be-

LONDON, Feb. 22.-The parliament
tary secretary of the foreign office.
George N. Curzon. answering a ques-
ton in the house Of commons today,
said that the presence of the Greek
troops in the island of Crete so far APP

The powers, he continued, did not in
tend to delegate to the Greek forces
the duty of keeping order in the in
terror of the island. Mr.. Curzon further
denied that the warships had attacked
the Greeks. He insisted, however. that
the foreign fleets had no choice but
to prevent by force the continued adj
vance Of the insurgents ON Canea. This
statement was greeted with opposition
cries of shame" and ministerial
cheers.
Mr. Labouchere moved the adjourn
ment of the house in order to call
attention to the firing on the Greek
forces by British warships, and all the

field county is defeated by seven votes.
During the past three days, the board
appointed by the court to recount the
entire vote on county division has been
steadily at work, and has now finished,
with the above result
This recount was ordered by the
court to satisfy contest brought by
citizens of Fertile, which village was to
be the county seat of Garfield. The
original election returns showed that
this proposition was defeated by five
votes. This will practically settle all
disputes concerning the territory to be
embraced in Polk county.
In recounting the vote of Vineland
township, 1t was discovered that sam
pie ballots. showing how to vote
against Garfield county, had been used
instead of the regulation ballot. These
votes were all against Garfield county
and were so counted by the board. 1t
is possible that Fertile may take an
appeal in order to have these votes
thrown out, but the citizens of that
township state that these ballots were
used for the reason that their supply
of the regular ballots was insufficient,
and they were determined to vote
against the proposition.
With regard to the legality of these
votes, most of the legal lights of this
city hold that they are perfectly valid
on the ground that every man has a
right to vote and that his vote shall
be counted, no matter what the form
Of ballot used may be- That in case
of necessity they were perfectly justi-
fled in using the sample ballots, or any
other material suitable to their pur-
pose which might be at hand.
The final result of the division vote
seems to be that Polk is now two coun-
ties, itself and Red Lake, Polk nearly
surrounding the other BY the Gar
field recount the Columbia county
proposition gained ten votes, which al
most gives it precedence over the Gar
field claim. Had Garfield carried, it
would cut Polk county into two widely
separated parts, one west Of Red Lake
and Garfield and one east of them, a
condition that would have been unpre-
cedented

the debate in the reichstag today on

ter for foreign affairs, Baron Marschall

on the situation in Crete, said that the
German warship Kaiserin Augusta ar

noon. Baron Marschall then referred
to the bombardment, but said he was

Continuing, the minister Of foreign

the most earnest spirit, is threatened
by the action of Greece. which is con-
