tion Is Mixed.

Salem. Ore, Jan. 13.-There was no
change today in the deadlock on the

indication of surrender. The Benson

overtures. agreeing to come in and form
a quorum If they We're given certain
concessions in the matter of legislation.
The Populists emphatically deny the re-
port, and said they had made no tenders.
1t seemed to be the purpose of the MI
nority to delay organization for the pur-
pose Of complicating the fight for sena-

There were no new developments to-
day in the senatorial contest beyond the

claimed their ability to secure another

DEBS' WEAK POINTS.
Has No Idea Of Business-Gives
His Last Dollar to a Baby.

Chicago, Aug. 3O.-"Eugene v. Debs
has no more idea of business than a
boy years DID," said President Pres
colt of the International Typographical
union, during a discussion of the bril-
liant and eccentric leader of the new
social commonwealth.
Just to show you the kind of a man
he is, let me tell you what happened in
Indianapolis some six or eight months
ago. I was walking along the street
with him, when we came to a little girl,
2 or years old, in a baby buggy in
front of a store. The mother was in
side doing some trading, and the little
girl became frightened and began to cry
in a most pitiful manner. Debs dropped
our conversation at once and tried to
pacify the child. He felt in all his
pockets for something to please her, but
the only thing he found was a $40 bill.
1t was all the money he had, as 1 hap
pened to know.
Here he said to the child, see the
pretty pictures. Does baby want the
pretty picture?"
The little girl stopped crying, reach
ed for the bill and had just begun smil-
ing when the mother appeared. She
pulled it out of the child'S hand and
handed it back, but Debs wouldn't take
it. She insisted. Finally he took it from
her hand and passed it again to the lit
tie one and walked away"
