wOPK OF THE LAWMAKERS.

They are Still Introducing Bills for New
Laws.
SALEM, Jan. 1S.-In the house this
morning bills were passed incorporat-
ing the town of Adams, creating the
Office of state biologist without salary
and regulating the fees of county
coroners.
Thirty-three bills were read a Sec
ond time and referred 60 their proper
committees, and 10 new bill were in
troduced.
The bills introduced were mostly of
a local nature. Among them were the
following: By Hall, to provide for
registration by county clerk of deaths
and births. By Blackaby, to provide
for submission to the people in 1900 of
proposed constitutional amendments,
relative to municipal indebtedness,
judiciary, irrigation and repeating.
By Stanley, to authorize the appoint
ment of corporations to act as admin.
istrators, executors and guardians.
By Freeland, to repeal the act of re-
quiring the publication of county
court proceedings in official papers.
In the senate this morning Looney
introduced bill to authorize trus tees
of jefferson institute to sell the entire
property to the school district, which
finally passed under suspension of the
rules.
The house bill to increase the num-
ber of supreme court judges was read
q second time and referred to the
judiciary committee, which has the
senate bill fer the same purpose.
Twenty-one new bills were intro
duced in the senate during the fore
noon.

COURT MARTIAL
FOR EGAN
He Will Have to Answer
for His Abuse.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.-President
Mckinley announced to the cabinet at
the regular meeting today that he has
determined TO court martial Commis-
sary general Eagan. Alger was not
at the cabinet meeting. but with ad-
jutant-General Corbin was at the
White House in conference with the
president on the subject just prior to
the cabinet session. An order for the
court-martlal probably will he made
today.
Just prior to the cabinet meeting
General Miles made a rather unusual
call upon two of the members of the
cabinet. Hay and Long. He had just
returned to the city from New York,
and when spoken to with reference to
the Eagan case, adhered to his original
declaration this was not the time for
him to act, if at all, leaving the impli-
cation that if the commission or the
administration did not act it would
then be time for him to take some
steps.

BESET BY THE
LOBBYISTS
Legislators Find Them
selves Surrounded
by Them.

SALEM, Jan. 19.-Familiar faces of
many professional lobbyists are ap-
pearing about the capitol building,
and from present indications there
will be quite respectable third house,
from a numerical standpoint, on the
ground before the close of the session.
There are number of bills that need
nursing and careful grooming to in
sure tn, ir passage, and there are others
that will require some effective work,
perhaps, to encompass their defeat.
The professional lobbyist, providing
he fs not retained bafore he reaches
here, is willing to take any side of a
question if he is paid for his services.
His position upon measure pending
before the legislature more frequently
depends upon the weight of financial
support that may be enlisted either for
or against it than upon the merits of
the bill.
There are some lobbyists, however,
who are above mercenary motives,
and who appear in the arena of legis-
lative battle only from principle.
This class of lobbyists includes those
who have pet hobbies that they have
been endeayoring to ride into legisla-
tive enactment for years. Money
offers no temptation to them.
Perhaps the most lobbying will be
done in the interest of pilotage, liquor,
insurance, railroad, schoolbonk, nickel
in-the-slot and loan and trust company
legislation.
The Columbia river pilots have
been represented here by Capt. James
Gray since the opening of the session.
Their object is to defeat the Mackay
pilotage bill. e
T. B. McDevitt has been looking
after some insurance legislation, and
w. P. Ready is charged with being
here in the interest of railroad COM
panies. Rep resentative Whalley is
supposed to look after the interest of
loan and trust societies. and George
A. Steel is presumed to be here doing
some wirepulling in the interest of
reapportionment legislation.

Emporia Bank Affairs.

EMPORIA, Kan. 18.-William Mar
tindabe, vice-president of the First
National bank of Emporia, which
failed last November, owing depositors
a half million dollars, has turned his
holdings over to Major Calvin Hood,
on a deed of trust. Hood will settle
with the depositors for Martindale's
debts, and it is believed he can handle
the property SO that it will pay dollar

When the bank failed, it's president,
Charles Cross, shot and killed himself

farm near Emporia. Gross left con-

WHAT ABOUT ALGER?

Commissary-General Egan must
stand court-martial, and will be made
to not only answer for the vulgar and
coarse language applied to superior
officer, but to defend the administra-
ton of his Office and explain how it
happened that the soldiers were not
supplied with wholesome rations. But
what about Alger, the man whose of.
fetal duties demanded that all officers
under him performed their duties we'll?
While Egan's gross attacks upon the
senior major-general of the army cam
not be excused, there probably are
some mitigating circumstances con.
nected with his supplying improper
rations for the army, since he was only
a subordinate in the scheme to "farln''
the war department. in the interest of
those intimately connected with the
secretary of war.
Alger may not be powerful enough
to save Egan from disgrace and retain
him at the head of the c0mmissary de-
partmeat, but Mckinley is strong
enough to save Alger and shield him
from dismissal, for he appointed the

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 18.-A cable.

says:
"When the steamship Alameda left

broken out on the Samoan islands and

The warships Fake and Porpoise, the
latter in command of Captain Sturdee,
we're then at the islands and were tax
ing part in suppressing the rising.
On December 81 Chief Justice Cham

claiming Mataafa was barred by the
treaty of Berlin, January l. Five
thousand of Mataafa's followers rose
in rebellion and defeated 5000 of Mali
etoa 5 forces, ambushing them, killing
13 natives and wounding many.
The rebels have burned 400 houses
and razed towns on Upolu. Bread
fruit trees haye been cut down in many
places. Foreigners are injured.
The crew of the Porpoise is guard
ing the mission, which is refuge for
Malietoa.
The three consuls have signed proc
lamations recognizing Mataafa's party
as the provisional government pend
ing instructions from the powers, with
President Raffell as executive head.
On the 9th Raffell proclaimed the
supreme court closed, and took posses

He asked Mataafa for 500 men and was
refused.
The British and American consuls

The Porpoise cleared for action and

necessary to deprive them of their title
and desert them. Chambers is resid-

Routine Work Being Done by the Law

SALEM, Or, Jan. l9.-The house

ness this morning. Thirteen bills

Disastrous Results OF the Breaking of a

CLEVELAND. o., Jan. 19.-About
1:15 this morning a dam under the
Wi.son-s venue bridge gave way. Back
OF the dam is body of water mile
and half long. hundreds of feet wide
and in places % to 80 feet deep.
The break in the dam has allowed
torrents of water to pour down on the
fats below it. The property loss is
already large, and if the entire dam
gives way, which seems inevitable, it
will be enormous. Along the line
whence the flood must flow are the big
plants of the Standard Oil Company,
the Cleveland Paper Mills, the Flick
slaughter-house and other manufacture
ing plants. There are but few people

FUNDING COUNTY DEBTS.

Two measures are before the legis-
lature for funding county debts
at q lower rate of interest than that
now allowed by law. One proposed by
Representative Moody provides that
bonds shall be issued by the county
court in denominations of not less
than 500 nor more than $1,000, which
bonds shall not be issued for longer
period than twenty years, interest
payable semi.annually, principal and
interest payable at any banking
house in the city of New York City
which the purchasers may designate.
The bonds shall not be sold for less
.han their face value, and the proceeds
shall be applied only in the redemp-
tion ot outstanding county warrants.
No provision is made for advertising
the bonds at public sale, the county
court being clothed with authority to
make private contract for the sale
thereof.
The other bill is presented by Sena-
tor Haines, of Washington county, land
is as follows:
.sSection /. When any county in
this state shall have any valid out
standing Indebtedness, the county
court of such county may borrow
money for the purpose of paying such
indebtedness and issue county orders
for the amount of such money as bor-
rowed whenever said money can be
borrowed at lower rate OF interest
than said outstanding indebtedness
then bears.
"Section 2. 1t shall be the duty of
any county court desiring to avail it
self OF the provisions of this act to pub
lish notice thereof for at least two
weeks in some newspaper published in
such county and to borrow said money
from the person or persons who will
accept the lowest rate Of interest.
OF the two bills the latter appears to
possess the greater merit. While by
the issuing of bonds to run a stated
length of time with interest payable
semi-annualy, counties would no doubt
be enabled to borrow money at lower
rate than on warrants with accumula-
tive interest, yet to meet the bond
payments at specified times would
necessirate the creation of sinking
fund that would necessarily lie idle
from year to year until the date of the
payment, which in the long run would
be a greater expense than the saving
in the rate of interest. Another argu-
ment in favor of the Haines bill Is
that the greater portion of the debi
would, by its operation. be carried b.
local capitalists, whereas the bonds
would mostly go abroad, necessitating
the sending of the interest outside the
state.
Some measure to relieve counties
that are heavily involved is quite
necessary, inasmuch as many OF them
are carrying heavy debts on which
they sre paying 8 per cent, whereas

these were all warned, and have sought
safety on higher ground.
The cause of the flood is the recent
heavy rains, the melting snow from
the hillsides and a pond OF several
acres overlooking. Streams for several
miles up the gulley have added their
quota of water.
