Washington, Jan. 1S.-The proceed
ings in the house today were very
tame. 1t was private bill day, but the
whole time was consumed in passing
through the house bills favorably acted
upon in committee of the whole before
the holiday recess. The widow of the
late Major-General Gibbon was the
beneficiary of one of the bills passed
carrying 500 per month, and the
widow of Brevet Major General w. A.
Nichols, of another, carrying $75 per
month. The free homestead bill, which
came back to the house with senate
amendments, was referred under a rul-
ing of the chair to the committee on
public lands.

HOUSE MAY KILL 1T.
Little Chance OF Favorable Action on
Homestead Bill.

Washington, Jan. lS.-The support
ers of the free homestead bill fear that
the measure has ben killed, so far as
this congress is concerned, by the ac-
tion OF Speaker Reed in referring it to
the house committee on public lands
for the consideration of the senate
amendments. The house committee is
not strongly in favor of the plan. That
committee voted to report the bill to
the house by II majority of only one,
when it provided only for free homes
for the Oklahoma settlers.
The senate amendments greatly
widen the scope of the bill, extending
its provisions to all public land states,
and it is doubtful whether the house
committee will sanction the changes.
The bills supporters fear that if the
committee does not make an adverse
report, it will keep the bill and take
no action on it before adjournment,
which course would effectually dispose
of it.

Patterson of Marion has introduced
= bill making general provision for the
transportation of all insane persons to
the asylum. His bill provides that
the county clerk shall notify the super
intendent of the asylum that he has an
insane person to be conveyed to the asy-
lum. The superintendent then au-
thorizes some employe OF the asylum
to repair to the county seat, where the
insane person will be delivered to him,
and he will conduct such insane person
to the asylum. All the expense is to
be borne by the asylum fund.

Age for Retirement.

Washington, Jan. lS.-A bill fixing
the age for retirement from the classi-
fled civil service was introduced by
Representative Gillette, of Massachu-
setts. 1t provides that any Office in
the classified service held by person
who at the time of the passage of the
act is over 62 years of age, shall be-
come vacant in three years. Any office
in the service shall hereafter become
vacant when the person holding it be-
comes IS years old. Veterans of the
civil war and their widows are excepted
from the provision.

Tariff Makers Run on a snsp.

Washington, Jan. 1S.-The Republi.
can tariff-makers held no meeting to-.
day, having encountred several per.
picking points in the chemical schedule
which they began work on last night.
Certain members were assigned to pro-
cure information on various points,
and tomorrow the committee will re-
sumo work on the schedule.
From the experience of the first ses-
sion of real work on the bill, it is con-
sldered by the members doubtful
whether it will be practical for them
to follow the original plan of work,
which was to have the full committee
work together on every schedule of the
bill, instead of dividing the schedules
among the subcommittee.

BLUE CUT ROBBERY.
Alleged Leader Claims There is a Con.
spiracy to Convict Him.

Kansas City, Jan. 1s.-John Ken.
nedy who was indicted as the leader
OF the gang which twice held up and
robbed Chicago & Alton trains at
Blue Cut, wrote out and signed a
statement today charging that there
was conspiracy to convict him. There
seems to be some grounds to substan-
tlate his statement as regards John
Land, an important witness against
him. 1t is given out, moreover, from
authoritative sources that the robbers
secured almost $50, 900, and not So, :
800, as first claimed by the express
company. For the conviction of the
men concerned it is also said big re-
wards have been offered. In 1882,
Land, who lives in the Blue Cut local
ity, was convicted of perjury in falsely
swearing that three OF his neighbors
had been connected in the Jesse James
train robbery OF that year near Inde-
pendence. Land is a state witness in
the present case.

WAS BLOWN TO BITS.
Dynamite Exploded in Miner Dendau g
Cabin.

Seattle, Jan. 1S.-In attempting to
thaw out few sticks of dynamite by
placing them on hot stove, F. Den
dauf was instantly killed and horribly
mutilated at Black Diamond Thurs
day. Thursday morning about 10
O'Clock, Dendauf, who is in the employ
OF Lawson Bros, took ten sticks of the
explosive to his cabin to warm them
up. From that time until noon he
was alone, and the exact manner in
which the accident occurred can never
be known, but during the noon hour,
when all hands were at dinner, ter
rifle explosion was heard. Everybody
rushed cut and found the entire side
and part of the roof of Dendauf's cabin
mad been torn away and hurled against
the side of another cabin sixty feet dis
tant. The interior of what remained
OF the cabin was a total wreck, every
thing in shreds and fragments, with
the body of Dendauf in the midst.
Some flying missile, presumably bit
OF the stove, entered his head near the
right eye, going directly through the
skull and leaving hole two inches
square; the right leg was broken in
two places between the hip and knee,
and the flesh of the whole right side
hung in tatters. Death must have
been instantaneous.

Senator McClung's bill, No. 5, "to

for the purposes of taxation," is vir-

ever, for the exemption only of record
ed Indebtedness, and in that particular
differs from the old law, and from
other proposed statutes.

Senator Mulkey, of Polk, has intro.
duced into the senate bill covering
the subject of taxation. The bill, in
effect, is practically Il re-enactment of
the mortgage-taX law. 1t has three
general objects in view-(D the assess
ment of all property, (2) equal and i'm
partial collection of taxes, (3) economy
in operation. Senator Mulkey saws il
will save the state at least 500, 900 per
year. The bill provides for the deduc-
tion of Indebtedness where the CORE
spending credit can be found and AS
sessed. 1t abolishes the state board of
equalization as it is now constituted,
vesting that duty in the governor, sec
retary of state and state treasurer. 1t
also provides for the collection of toxes
ON the original assessors roll and for
the sending of the summary only of the
roll to the state board of euualizntion
II makes the county treasurer the col
lector of taxes up to the point of delin.
quency, when they shall be collected by
the sheriff.

Senator Taylor's bill amending the
incorporation act of Pendleton changes
the city charter in three particulars.
1t provides that (D the city may be di-
vided up into wards; (2) that the pres
ent water-works system may be en-
larged into Il gravity system; and (3)
that city treasurers shall hereafter be
appointed by the city council, and not
elected by the people. There has been
trouble in Pendleton over making the
city funds Immediately available when
they are desired for the payment -"
warrants. 1t is thought that, if t.
temptation for candidates to plac,
themselves under personal obligation
to financial institutions has been re-
moved, the difficulty about the funds
may be obviated.

Another subject of debate was the
resolution requiring the appropriation
bill to be prepared a sufficient time be-
fore the close of the session to permit
careful examination. One member
wanted the bill prepared within the
first twenty-five days. This was gen.
orally regarded as too soon to be prac-
ticable, and it was finally settled that
the bill should be before the senate
five days before the close of the session.

McClung's senate bill relating to the
qualifications of school election voters
requires that the voter shall have pald
an annual tax on $3.50 worth of prop
erty. The present law is somewhat
lax, and more or less confusing. Ihere
is some doubt of the cOnstitutiOnallty
of McClung's bill, but the Judiciary
committee will pass upon that ques-
ton. Senator McClung says the trou-
bles at the late school election in Port
land and Eugene led him to prepare
more desirable law.
The inevitable deduction-for-indebt-
edness bill has been presented to the
senate 1t comes from Senator Daw-
son, of Linn.
The question of supplying each mem
ber of senate and house with copy Of
Hill's Code of Oregon, evoked some de-
bate in the senate. McClung presented
a Joint resolution that the secretary of
state be ordered to purchase ninety
copies of the code. He afterward ex-
planned that similar resolution had
been adopted by the senate, but, mas
much as it was only senate resolu-
ton, the secretary of state was unwill-
ing to comply except on joint request
of both houses. Selling of Multnomah
thought that from an economical stand
point, twenty-five copies would be
sufficient, ten for the senate and fifteen
for the house. Price of Umatilla sug-
gested that fifteen copies would be
sufficient for the senate, giving one to
each new member McClung's resolu-
ton was finally adodted,
