New York, Sept. 30.-In tho legis.

and was employed and received money
for services from the Equitable.
Mr.. Maine told of the division of the
country to be looked after by Mr..
Hamilton in conjunction with e. l..
Short and w. P. Thummel. Witness

ELECTORAL
COLLEGE
MEMBERS
Meet at the Capital and Or
ganiZe

Judge James A. Fee, of Pendleton; J.
N. Hart, of Baker City; A. c. Hough
of Grants Pass, and Grant Dimick, of
Oregon City, Republican presidential
electors for the state of Oregon, met
this morning in room No. of the State
House, and formed the temporary or
ganization of the electoral college for
the state. Judge Fee was elected TEN.
porary chairman, and J. N. Hart tenn
porary secretary. After the organiza.
tion was effected, the secretary was in
structed, on motion of Mr.. Hough, to
have the necessary forms prepared for
the college on it's reassembly, which
was agreed upon and set for 1880 this
afternoon, on another motion of Mr..
Hough.
The remuneration of the presidential
electors in this state is $500 per day,
while the college is in session, and Is
cents per mile both ways from the
electors place of residence to the capi-
tol of the state. This amount is paid
by the state, and the messenger who is
elected at this meeting is allowed 25
cents per mile from the capitol of the
state to the City of Washington, d. c.,
which sum is paid by the United States
government.
Electors Are Modest.
The college reassembled at l o clock
this afternoon, and met in informal
session before the formal ballot was
cast to agree upon the messenger to be
chosen. Some discussion arose as to
who should be chosen. Mr.. Dimick
stated that he would be unable to act.
The other three all appeared willing to
accept, but were unable to decide
who should receive the honor. 1t was
proposed that the matter should be left
to lot, there being four slips made
made, and in event of Mr.. Dimick be-
ing chosen, he select q substitute, but
this plan was opposed by Judge Fee,
who claimed that, on account of his
age, he should be chosen, as he was
afraid that this would be the last OPP
portunity of this kind which he is liable
to have during his life time. This was
opposed by the others on the same
ground, thus saying that the same argu-
ment applies to them all.
At o o'clock, as the Journal goes to
press, the college is still in deadlock,
but it is understood that Judge Fee has
announced his intention of making the
trip, whether elected messenger or not.

Thus no election was effected, Sena-
tor Kuykendall having voted blank.
A motion to adjourn was lost. A sec
Ond ballot resulted the same as the
first.
After the fourth ballot the senate
again to adjourn, but failed.

A conspicuous incident of the day
was the absence of the ten Carter men.
This was especially apparent when the
new members stood up to be sworn in,
and as a result several had not been
sworn in and could not vote upon presi-
dent of the senate. The chief Justice
was later recalled to administer the
oath to these gentlemen.
When the time for the election of Of
ficers arrived Senator Rand placed in
nomination Senator Kuykendall. Sem
ator Whealdon nominated Senator Car
ter and Senator Pierce named Senator
Miller.
In the midst of the balloting the SEN
ate adjourned for the purpose of hold
ing a caucus of the Republican mem
bers. The friends of Senator Kuyken-
dali all attended the caucus, and the
Carter men remained out.
Upon the return of the senator's
Senator Rand announced that the eau
Gus, composed of Is men, had unani-
mously nominated Senator Kuykendan,
and therefore placed him in nomina-
tion. Senator Howe then placed in
nomination Senator Carter, t''in the
name of the Republican party of Ore
gon." The roll call stood as follows:

NATIONAL SANlTARIUM
FOR TRADES UNI0NlSTS

Associated Press dispatches confirm
the following statement now being
rapidly disseminated: National labor
leaders are planning an immense ma
tional sanitarium for the trades union
lists of the United States. Leading
labor organizations also propose to
maintain institutions for the care of
those who will not be able to find ac-
commodations in the great national in
stitution.
President Gompers of the American
Federation of Labor has addressed let
ers to the leaders of prominent organ
izations on the subject, asking for sug.
gestions. The first reply was from
George w. Perkins, president of the
International Cigarmakers' union. Mr..
Perkins favors the project, saying:
." i would suggest that the institution
be named the American Federation
Trade Union Sanitarium and that it be
under the direction and conorol of the
American Federation of Labor and a
board of directors composed of the
chief executive officers of the trades
unions which will agree to become a
party to this noble enterprise.

His Life ENDANGERED

The news reached Phoenix Saturday
morning from Payson, that Dick Flet-
cher was in a very serious condition.
1t will be remembered that Fletcher
was one of party of six who left for
hunt in the White river mountains
some three weeks ago. While near
Payson Fletcher accidentally shot him
self in the leg just below the knee.
The wound was not serious one at all
if proper care could have been given
the injured limb, but they could not
secure medical assistance for two days.
Two doctors are with him now but
there is little hope for his recovery. -
