and elections would meet today to take
up the claim Of H. W. Corbett to a seat
in the senate from Oregon on the ap-

bat owing to the absence OF Senator
Burroughs, the meeting viii not be held
until next Monday.
Mr. Burrows is the only Republican
on the committee who will oppose the
seating of Mr.. Corbett. He takes the
position that the decision in the Mantle
case is a precedent against the appoint
ment Of senators. where the legislature
has had an opportunity to act, which
cannot be put aside. His vote will thus
have the effect of sending the matter
to the senate on an adverse report, as

smile when the possibility of the bonn

There are sixty mOrtars Mt Sandy

command the approach to the harbor
from every direction. The channel Is
narrow and crooked and many of the
big battleships OF the worlds navies
could not cross the bar except Mt high
