The Executive Session.

Washington, Jan. 15.-The senate
galleries were cleared and the the doors
closed Immediately after the session
opened today, on adoption of Sherman's
motion that the senate 60 into execu-
tive session.
Immediately after going into execu-
tive session the senate took up the mo-
ton of Senator Sherman, made at the
request of Secretary Olney, to recon-
slider the vote by which the extradition
treaties between this country and Ar
gentina and the Orange Free State
were amended. The motion was de-
bated at considerable length.
The principal point in contention is
the authority given foreign governments
to take by force from this country per-
sons who have escaped to this country
and are charged with certain offenses.
This was stricken out. Secretary Olney
asks that it be retained.
Senator Davis, member of the COM
mittee on foreign relations, made a
strong argument against the principle
that Secretary Olney desired to have
retained. The discussion took wide
range and covered general features and
precedents of extradition.

career in that state is taken from one
eff the histories of Michigan:
"Mr. Winsor has been prominent in
the affairs of the Huron Peninsula from
the beginning of his career. His abil-
tiles, energies and persistent struggle
in the accomplishment OF the purposes
which he formed in early life, estab-
lished him firmly in the confidence OF
the settlers of the Huron Peninsula;
and in the fall of 1862, when he was
but % years of age, he was elected to
the legislature of Michigan on the Re-
publican ticket. He was reelected IN
1864 and served second term. He
was nominated again in the fall OF
1866, but declined the position from
the urgency of his business relations.
In the spring of 1867 he was elected
and served as member of the consti-
tutional convention of Michigan. In
the fall of 1868 he was elected to the
state senate He served during the ses-
sions of 1869, 1870 and 1871. In the
fall of 1880 he was again elected to the
senate of Michigan and served in the
sessions of 1881 and 1882. He was
prosecuting attorney of his own county
for a number of terms intervening be-
tween his legislative career, and was
deemed one of the ablest prosecutors
of the state"
Judge Richard Winsor was born in
Middlesex county, Ontario, April %,
1889. After spending his early man
hood in Michigan he removed to Seat
tie in 1889. During his residence in
the state of Washington he has been
engaged in the practice of law, but has
also taken an active interest in reform

Jud ge George Turner.

Judge George Turner, of Spokane,
silver Republican, will perhaps have
the strongest following for the United
States senate when the Washington
legislature ballots on the question in
the middle of this month. He was
born in Edna, Knox county, Mo-, in
1850; held the Office of United States
marshal for the southern and middle
district of Alabama, by appointment
from President Grant, and was appoint
ed associate justice for Washington
territory by President Arthur. Judge
Turner was chairman of the Republic
can state committee in Alabama from
1876 to 1884, and was very influential
in national politics during the admin
istrations of Grant and Arthur. He
was delegate from Alabama to the ma
tional Republican conventions of 1876,
1880 and 1884. In the convention of
1880 he was one of the 306 who stood
for Grant.
In July, 1884, Judge Turner came
to the territory of Washington and was
associate Justice of the supreme court

Downing, Hopkins 3 Co.'S Review q
Wheat on Friday Of last week had
lost SC from the highest point, though
a norton of the loss was recovered be-
fore the close on Saturday, and the to-
tai loss for the week was &c. Taxing
the news of the week as whole there
was nothing to suggest q reason for the
decline unless it be the further bank
troubles reported from the Northwest
That. however, is not good reason 70
assign, as banks at Chicago are anxious
to lend money on wheat securities and
have plenty of it for all applicants hav-
ing a 10 per cent margin. The true
reason was the taking of profits, which
to some big traders were sufficiently en-
ticing at the opening advance on Mon
days nc for May delivery. The de-
cline throughout the week was steady,
until on Friday, when the tide was
turned by the bringing into line OF large
buying orders for export. Corn and
oats suffered losses Of 7-8c and 5-8c re-
spectively in sympathy with wheat.
The trade has generally become con-
WINGED that the Argentine surplus will
be lighter than heretofore figured on,
and those who estimated it at 20,OOO,-
600 bushels ten days ago, have reduced
their figures to $4,000, 900 bushels.
This is the result of bad weather, there
being too much rain at harvest, the
same as the winter wheat crop here
suffered last year, taking off probably
20, OOO, 900 bushels from the yield.
This makes the second year that the
Argentine crop has been damaged by
unreasonable weather at harvest time,
but this year it has been somewhat
damaged by locusts. The latest esti-
mates make a reduction of 5000, 900
bushels from what the bulls figured on.
To make the situation more bullish
is the prospect of a scarce crop, snow
and cold weather following two days OF
rain over the winter wheat country,
which is not good thing for the crop.
This may start buying by the country,
and when they get in there is no tell
ing where the price will go. The much
talked of 81 would be realized within
short time,

until his resignation in 1887. In 1889,
at the first state legislature, he received
twenty votes for United States senator,
and his name has been prominently
mentioned for that high Office at every
contest since that date. He is an able
lawyer and forceful speaker. It was
Judge Turner who dominated the Re-
publican state convention at Spokane
in 1894 and secured the adoption of the
Is to silver plank; he was the father
of the Helm and Morgan railroad bills,
for the reduction of freight rates and
fares, and he is now prominently iden-
titled with the committee seeking a re-
duction of railroad rates at the present
session.
Judge Turner was one of the for
tunate stockholders of the LIE Roi
gold mine at Rossland, B. c., when that
property developed into a mint in 1895,
and he laid aside his law practice to
manage the affairs of that wonderful
property.
When the Republican convention of
this state and the national convention
in 1895 declared against the coinage OF
gold and silver at Is to l, Judge Turner
led the silver wing of the Republican
party into a fusion convention at Ellens-
burg which resulted in an overwhelm-
ing victory for the advocates of silver
in the state of Washington. He was a
delegate to the fusion convention as a
silver Republican, and took promi-
nent part in arranging the terms of the
fusion deal between the Populists and
free silver Republicans.

Tn the House.

Washington, Jan. 15.-After very
dull day, devoted to passing bills of
minor Importance, the house plunged
into a warm controversy over bill to
make oleomargarine and other imita-
tions of dairy products subject to the
laws of states into which they are trans
ported. The author of the bill, Circuit
of Vermont, led the fight for it, and it
was opposed by Democrats and Repub-
licans, chiefly on the ground that it
would give the states power to prohibit
the use of such products.
The bouse got into parliamentary
struggle over the measure on account
of the determination of Cameron to
secure some time for it's consideration,
and adjourned, leaving it unfinished.
One of the senate bills passed was TO
withdraw from the supreme court GRIM
inal cases, other than capital, and leave
jurisdiction over them to the courts of
appeal.
