Legislature Gives Him a Vote Of
Confidence.
WILL ADJOURN FEBRUARY "
A Neat Combination Of Two Resolu'
tions Gives the Senior Sen.
ator From Oregon an Unlocked
for Endorsement Yesterday.

Salem, Feb. In rather ingeni-
Iously contrived resolution the senate
with one exception today adopted q
resolution carrying with 1t vote OF
thanks to United States Senator Mitch
ell, and an expression of confidence in
him. at the same time agreeing to ad-
journ sine, die not later than Febru-
Iary II. While some senator's did not
care to express such strong approval
of Mitchelrs course as is voiced in the
resolution they did not care to go on
record as favoring an adjourned ses-
sion, ii being the program, certain
Faction alleged, to put through the ad-
journed session for the purpose of
electing a successor to Mitchell should
he, from any cause, relinquish or be
deprived of the seat in the senate.
Many senator's are Of the opinion
the resolution should have been divid-
ed. one section providing for adjourn
ment, and the other providing for the
Endorsement of Mitchell, but owing to
the complex nature of the resolution
and the fact that an adjourned ses-
sion, as claimed by some senators,
would be unjust to oregon's senior
senator they We're Obliged to vote for
the resolution as 1t stood, tt.
K The house adopted the senate reso-
hutton indorsing Mitchell and to ai-
journ sine die. AS in the senate, only
enc vote was recorded against it.
: The house. after two hours of the
most animated and bitter discussion of
the session, passed the Jayne local
option bill, The gallery was crowded
with spectators and great interest was
manifested when the vote was taken,
The senate passed the house bin au-
thorizing the governor to appoint state
secret service officers. 1t is proposed
shat these special officers shall be de-
tailed TO investigate the range war be-
tween the sheep and the cattle men.

ST. Petersburg. Feb. 1.-THE renewed

hira at the state department in
Washington, and the conferences of
Ambassador Durand and M Spring.
Rice, tirst secretary or the British em-
bassy at st. Petersburg. with Presi-

the slightest echo In Official circles in
81. Petersburg, where the emperor's
declaration that the war will be car.
ried en to a satisfactory conclusion
sounds the keynote of the situation.
The present current of the press and
public opinion In Russia appears to be
setting toward peace. The 'newspa-
pers no longer proclaim the necessity
for continuing the war at all costs, and
articles appearing in the Russ and
Novoe Vremya from well known war

Struck Rocks in a Binding
Blizzard, f
PASSENGERS ARE MISSING
Captain and Four Passengers and .
Part Of the Crew Supposed to Be
Adrift in Worst Storm Of the
Winter.

Halifax, Feb. 7.--Word reached here
tonight that large steamer was
ashore Off Musquodobit harbor, so
miles east from Halifax The steamer
had been sending up signals OF dis
tress for some time, but the weather
was thick ana she could not be made
out, but it later developed that lshe
was the British steamer Damara from
Liverpool. via st. Johns. NJ. f., for
Halifax, and she has since foundered.
The chiew officer, with Is members
of the crew, reached shore in lifeboat.
The captain with four passengers and
the balance of the crew also left the
steamer at the same time. but are still
missing, and It is feared they pefished.
The occupants of the boat which
reached shore were utterly exhausted,
and many Of them were badly frost
bitten. They landed some time dur
ing the day and reached the telegraph
Office at Musquodoboit harbor tonight,
whence they reported the first news Of
the disaster. M
The survivors say the steamer struck
about 2 o'clock this morning when the
blizzard was so thick 1t was impos-
sible to see ships length ahead. ami
an immense hole was smashed in the
bottom of the steamer. The shock Of
the impact awakened every one on
board, and huge breakers swept the
vessel fore and aft. Lifeboats were
lowered and all hands left
the ship.
1t is believed the steamer founderel
quickly and small hope is entertained
by the survivors that the missing life
boat successfully withstood the ex.
treme rigor of the weather. The wind
tonight is OF shore, and If the missing
boat has not already swamped 1t has
been driven seward many miles and
is now probably adrift on the Atlantic
in the worst weather Of the winter.
Tugs were dispatched tonight 10 search
for the boat and locate the hun Of
the Damara.

BARD AMENDMENT CARRIED

Washington, Feb. 7.--After a con.
tinuous session of nine hours the sen.
ate at S:45 tonight passed the joint
statehood bin. AS passed the bill pro-
vides for the admission OF the states
of Oklahoma. comprised of the In
dian territory and Oklahoma. and New
Mexico. according to its present bund-
aries, with Arizona eliminated.
The long session was characterized
by many surprises. Beginning prompt.
|ly upon eonvening at noon, the sen
ace proceeded 70 consider various
amendments suggested BY the commit
tee on territories. The first surpris'
|of the day came when the, committe'
accepted Foraker's amendment provid
ing for separate vote by each of ths
territories OF Arizona and New Mexic,
on the constitution to be adopted By
the proposed state OF Arizona. Thai
provision was scarcely made part Of
the bill when Bard presented his
amendment, which was originally Of.
fered by Patterson ANA provided fol
the admission OF New Mexico as a state
without the addition Of Arizona.
This amendment proved the point
around which the subsequent proceed
ings of importance revolved. It was
first adopted while the senate was in
committee Of the whole, and reversed
the senate proper. Subsequently the
senate decided to entirely eliminate
New Mexico and Arizona from the bill.
This result was hardly announced
when Bard, in a slightly changed form,
renewed the proposition for admis-
sion Of New Mexico as state, and THIS
time the amendment prevailed. The
effect was 20 eliminate Arizona from
the bill and establish the state of New
Mexico, ana another of Oklahoma and
the Indian territory In this form the
bill passed Aasfi ttissS'- # 81 ID

 After ten minutes the papers wers collected. At refreshment time these slips were scattered promiscuously among the men and they were asked 10 find the lady who answered to the description on their paper and take her to supper
 Here is description of table ar ranged for birthday party of a ten- year-old girl It was so beautifully simple in design and detail that any mother could carry out the scheme with very little trouble or expense. The guests were 24 in number.
 To save table linen, as it was in the country, and laundry work at pre- mium, the table was set with pink crepe tissue paper mats. The cake. which was the center of. attraction, was a large angels food, iced with white and decorated with candied cherries and spikes of citron. Around inc cake was a barrel hoop wound with pink paper and ferns. In this hoop pink candles were stuck. The holders can be pasteboard with sharp Jacks in the end, such as are used on Christmas trees. There were just as many candles as the hoop would hold; they represented "the years to come. :" On a small hoop right close up to the cake were ten pink candles, while right in the middle of the cake was one tall candle, "the year to grow on. :" Bowls of flowers were at the four cor ners of the table, with plates of chick en sandwiches, salted almonds, lemon ade with cherries in it, and tall glasses filled with plain vanilla ice cream. The cream had tablespoonful of whipped cream on top, capped by a Maraschlno cherry. Paper napkins were used and "snapping" caps, so dear to childish hearts, were the favors.

A Souvenir Postal Card Party.

n SouVeuir EoSCd1 Sdru fArry.
 Nearly every town of any size has Its own individual postals, and in this day and generation everyone is the re- cipient of many of these charming re- miaders of travel, both at home and abroad. Something original in the way of entertaining for either dinner, luncheon or afternoon" was given by the hostess when she planned this af- fair.
 The rooms were decorated with post als fastened together by holes punched in the corners and ribbons run through them. Panels were formed in this way and made most effective decora- tion. Cards were stuck in picture tels and every spot where they would attract attention. These cards were topics of conversation which was very animated. Do you remember?" and "that reminds me" were expressions heard on all sides.
 Invitations were sent out on local souvenir cards. Then for place cards" at this luncheon the hostess had mailed cards to each guest, ten ill number, addressing them to her own house number. By these they found their places at the table. Each one was asked to come prepared to relate some incident of travel, either Thu morous," startling" or pathetic" A vote was taken as to the best story in each class, souvenirs were awarded, inexpensive articles which the hostess had collected with this party in mind. Souvenir spoons were used and the ta- ble linen came from Ireland.
 The menu consisted of grape fruit, creamed potatoes served in ramakins. whole wheat bread, cherry salad made by replacing the pits of California cherries with hazel nuts, serving it on head lettuce leaves with rich may onnaise dressing, and cheese waters; ice cream was served in halves of can- teloupe with small cakes. The bon bons were in dress-suit case boxes, and the almonds in miniature band-boxes, which the guests were given for fa- vors. Iced tea was the beverage, with a bit of lemon and a candied cherry in it.
