The Republicans of the house, largely in the majority, were holding a caucus in the house chamber discussing matters of party concern, when Representative Nesbitt, Populist, and Representative, Haills, Democrat, both of Cleveland county, demanded admittance and were refused by the doorkeeper.

The Republicans, however, concluded their caucus undisturbed.

SENATE AND HOUSE.

Proceeding1* of liotli Branches of tlie National Legislature.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.—As the session of the senate was about to close last night Mr. Pettigrew of South Dako'tugave a decidedly interesting turn to the otherwise tedious debate on the Indian appropriation bill. It has been discussed for several days and Mr. Call, in charge of the measure, sought to secure an agreement for a final vote today.

There were numerous objections, and among them one from Mr. Pettigrew, which was emphasized by the brief, but pointed statement he made. It was in the nature of a disclosure that a private arrangement had been reached among senatt whereby the pooling bill would be taken up ut 3 o'clock this afternoon and held before the senate day and mgiit- and over Sunday, until passed.

The statement came so unexpectedly, and was the sequel to such active work t-lirougjiout the day by tho friends of the pooling i.'ill. that it created somewhat of a sensation among the senators and spectators. Mr. Penigrew added to his aiiuonm-e.neiit that he would take ei'iective sreps to defeat the passage of the pooling bill by objecting to the disposal of the Indian appropriation biJi. or other measure. having precedence.

The con11 act school iteiu of the Indian bill a\ as compieU'd, iu such form as to prov do a 2U per cent reduction from the expenditures of iasi year. Mr. Morgan of Aiaoama spoke 1 hroughout tlie ai a riioon in yvor of a judicial system i'or the iiKUau Territory, but ill* amendment to that elfect- was finally rrucd out ol oruer.

In the House.

WAST-IINUTON, Fob. 23.—The house devo.eu Wasii-ngtou's birthday to the f'ur-thj-r coiisuu-ratiou of the general deficiency appropriation bill. Most of the time was spent in the discussion of questions of minor importance relating to extra compensation for employes of the house of representatives and no amendments of moment were adopted. Just before adjournment the aate resolution ro post-pone the time when the new regulations to prevent collisions at sea should go in force, was passed.

DOWNING DOLPH.

Senatorial Fight in Orogon Lias Reached a Critical Stage. SALKM,

Or., Feb. 23.—The last day

of the legislature has arrived anil unless a United States senator is elected before midnight Oregon will have but one representative in the upper branch of congress for the next two years. Dolph's strength is gradually melting away and it is now practically settled that he can not be elected. He lost two more votes yesterday, which brings his vote down to 37, or nine short of a majority.

Tlie opposition say they are working in the interest- of no particular candidate, but their fight is "anything to defeat Dolph." They say they stand ready to vote for anyone else the Dolph men may put forward, but their opposition to Dolph is linn and determined.

George li. Williams received the opposition vote yesterday with the exception of two. He is looked upon with favor by many of the Dolph men," but they feel it incumbent upon them to vole for the caucus nominee as long as there is a chance of his election.

In the event of a break from Dolph or a decision on the part of his supporters to name a man the support is liable to go to George H. Williams, Governor Lord or C. W. Fniton of Astoria.

The Populists and Democrats have decided to fake no part in the light.

Failed to Work Properly.

NEWPORT, R. I., Feb. 23.—It is tho opinion among naval experts here that the government is confronted with a new difficulty in the torpedo problem. It is as to whether the White head torpedo can be depended on for accuracy in cold water. Tlie cruiser Minnesota Friday discharged a rifle torpdo from her starboard chute, set at 400 yards. Either the atmosphere or the cold water stiffened the oil so that the controlling valve did not work properly, and the missile crashed into the breakwater, not far away, smashing the head. As it was only a practice head no serious damage was done.

Gold llrick Swindle.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Feb. 23.—The gold brick swindle was successfully worked here yesterday. William Dobbin, a hard working market gardner, was swindled out of $0,000 by a tall, wTell dressed scoundrel.

VOTING FOR SENATOR

Three States Have Not Made Their Selections.

OREGON, IDAHO AND DELAWARE.

Some Fears That Tliey Will He Left With

out a Representative in the Upper House

of Congress Unless Action Is Soon Taken.

Sine Die Adjournment Approaching in

Oregon and Idaho.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.—Interest- in the contests over the election of senators in tlie states of Oregon, Idaho aud Delaware was revived in the senate yesterday by the circulation of a telegram received by Senator Mitchell of Oregon, stating that the legislature of that state would adjourn Saturday, but the apprehension which this part of tho telegram aroused among Republican senators was somewhat allayed by tlie assurance which added that an election would occur before adjournment.

The information which this dispatch brought led to the inquiry as to the outlook for adjournment- in Tdaho aud the prospect of an election there. Senator Dubois was able to state that the session would close March 7, bin he could furnish no information as to the prospect of an election.

There is no limit to the term of the Delaware legislature. There has been a slight renewal of the talk of having the Republican members combine iu some leeommendation to the legislatures of there various states as to the necessity of making a senatorial choice before adjournment, but the same objection has been made to such action at this time, that was made when the project was first agitated, and it does not appear that an vthing will be done.

GROWING CRITICAL IN OREGON.

The Contest Undecided and tlie Legislature About to Adjourn.

SALEM, Or., Feb. 22.—The Oregon legislature will adjourn sine die tomorrow at 7 o'clock. This was decided on by the passage of a resolution in both houses, fixing the time of adjournment. The contest for United States senator is the all-absorbing topic. Yesterday Dolph lost two votes, and many predict his support will soon go to pieces.

The opposition to Dolph has centered in George B. Williams, ex-United States attorney general, who has 29 votes. The situation seems to point to the selection of Williams, as he is believed to be the second choice of the Dolph men. Those who bolted the caucus nominee undoubtedly favor Governor Lord as a first choice, but without the support of a number of Dolph men it would be im-| possible to elect, unless the Democrats and Populists take a hand, and this is not likely to occur.

Undecided in Idaho.

BOISK CITY, Feb. 22.—The house yesterday, with but five dissenting votes, passed a memorial to congress in favor of the election of senators by a direct vote of the people. There was one pair only, and the vote for United States senator resulted: Slioup, 111 Sweet, 19 Claggett, 15. There is much nervousness here. A Populist caucus has been called to consider the senatorial matter. The situation appears to be that if Sweet can not be elected by the Populists enough of his men will leave, him to elect Slump. It may be stated with absolute confidence that a senator will soon be elected.

One ISallot. in Delaware.

DOVKR, Did., Feb. 22.—But one ballot was taken in the United States senatorial fight yesterday. It resulted as follows: Higgins, Republican, 9 Addicks, Republican, 0 Massey, Republican, 3: Wolcott, Democrat, 9 Bayard. Democrat, 1 Tuunell, Democrat, 1.

MISSION TO MEXICO.

A Pointer From the White House That Senator Ransom Will lie Selected. WASHINGTON. Feb. 22.—A tip comes from tlie White House that Senator Mat Ransom is to be appointed to succeed Isaac Pusey Gray as minister to Mexico. President Cleveland, it is said, has so informed one of the senators.

Senator Ransom's term expires March 4, and his Democratic colleagues almost as a body, recommend his appointing ut to the Mexican mission. The office pays $17,1300 in United States coin, equal to double that amount in Mexican money, and is one of the most lucrative positions in the diplomatic service. The nomination is expected within a few days.

It will sidetrack Mr. Shanklin, the Indiana editor, who has been indorsed by the lioosier delegation.

GUTHRIE, O.

FASCINATION FOR FORGERY.

Isaac Rains, Alias Fox, Confesses to 1 orging Hundreds of Names. CHICAGO, Feb. 22.—Isaac Rams, alias Fox, said to be the son of wealthy parents living in Philadelphia, was arrested yesterday, charged with forgery. He admitted the particular crime on which the warrant was issued, and furnished the police a long list of other people whose names he had forged. He promised to think up others, and said tho number of his forgeries in Chicago alone would amount to fully 100. He also admitted having committed a number of forgeries in Boston, New York, Philadelphia and other eastern cities.

Rains declared that lie had a passion for to-gory, and that although his parents had spent much money in covering up his crimes and trying to reform him, he was unable to resist the fascination of committing forgery. All his forgeries in this city were for small amounts, but skillfully executed.
