THE LEGISLATORS OF THAT STATE WILL GET NO PAY AFTER TO-DAY IF IT TAKES THEM ALL SUMMER TO ELECT A SENATOR. The period fixed by the Oregon constitution for the session of the legislature of thatstate with pay expires to-day. The legislature can, ofcourse, remain longer in session, but the members can- not get pay. The senatorial contest at last accounts was as far from settlement as ever. ‘The republicans were still divided, and citizens of Oregon here in Washington say it is very dimeult to hold the legislature together after the pay ceases. Should the legislature adjourn without electing a Senator, It Is contended by citizens of Oregon that the governor will not have authority to appoint, as ‘the vacancy will not be one occurring during the recess of the legislature. Under similar circumstances Ore- gon was once left for a cousiderable period with a vacant seat in the Senate. In view of the fact that the conflict of factions may leave the state now with but asingle Senator for a time, tho question becomes one of general interest. —_— Political Notes. iffpols legishature about noon gestarday. tobe s legal mn Yes! .

Bayard, State; Manning, Treasury; La- mar, Interior; Garland, Attorney Gen- ins, Postmaster General—Other Possible Nominations. So far as can be ascertained, Senator Lamar has been fixed upon for Secretary of the Inte- rior in the next cabinet, and Mr. Vilas isspoken of as the coming Postmaster General. It is ad- mitted by close friends of Mr. Cleveland that he has been perplexed in choosing a Secretary of the Treasury. It is now belleved that Mr. Dan- {el Manning will have that position, or that he can haye it, if he is willing to accept it. With regard to the Navy department it is understood that Mr. Cleveland has been undecided. He is anxious to have the navy rebuilt, and to place man at the head of that department In whom the country has confidence, and who can com- mand the cordial co-operation of Congress in the work of rebuilding the navy. There has been no Ifttle talle of ex-Congress- man Frank Jones, of New Hampshire, for that Position, but shou/d he beselected it would be a great sutprise to the prominent democrats of he country. Many of the leading Democrats in Congress, among them men whom Mr.Cleve. land wiil naturally depend upon to a consider able extent, refuse to believe that the Preside! elect would make Mr. Jones a member of his cabinet. In discussing the matter they are ata Joss to assign any reason which would Justify the appointment. They say that New Hamp- shire is @ republican state, without claims for democratic consideration, and that it would certainly give offense to democratic states to be Passed by fora man from a Tepublican state, who Is scarcely known outside his state. There has undoubtedly been some influence exerted in favor of Mr, Jones, but unless democratic sentiment fs greatly mistaken he will not get in. AAs the case stands now, with all the informa- tion in possession of democrats here, the pre- Yalling opinion ts that Senator Bayard will be Secretary of State, Senator Lamar Secretary of the Interior, Senator Garland Attorney Gene- ral, Mr, Manning Secretary of the Treasury and Mr. Vilas probably Postmaster General. There are some who believe that Mr, Vilas will be made Secretary of War, and that Mr. Thurman Will be provided for. ’Some Senators still ad- here to the belief that Mr. McDonald will be called into the cabinet, but the general idea, ap- patently based upon pretty good information, that he bas been dropped from consideration, MR. BAYARD'S SUCCESSOR IN THE SENATE Will be chosen by the Delaware legislature, Which is still in session, and will be for some weeks. Representative Lore, ex-Representa- tive Martin, and Attorney General Grey are the candidates for the sucoessorship. Mr. a resident of Sussex county, and Messrs. Lore and Gray both live in Neweastle county. It seems to be generally conceded that Mr. Martin Will get the indorsement and support of bis county, and the fight for Newcastle's support will be'between Gray and Lore. The winning man Will then, with one county behind him, confront Martin, with his county's support,and the contest will be decided by the vote of the third county of the state—Kent. It is expected that there will be a pretty lively struggle for the seat made vacant by Mr. Bayard, who has two Years of his term remainii THE COMING IN UGURATION. Suggestions as to How the Avenue Can be Kept Clear—The Throng of Visi- tors. THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING. At the meeting of the executive committee last evening it was reported that the clerks in the Pension buildings, corner of 12th and 13th streets and the avenup, had raised $3,000 for the purpose of inaugurai decorations, which would be very elaborate. Col. L. P. Wright reported that the commit- tee on public comfort had provided quarters up to date for 14,648 persons, Including clubs and private parties. Mr. Noble D. Larner, chairman ‘ef the public order committee, stated that inconference with Major Dye he found that an ‘additional force of special police would bé necessary, and he asked that a sum of $500 be appropriated for that pur. pose, which was granted. He read some sug- gestions which he had laid before the chief of Police, whieh proposed that the usual mounted platoon of police at the head of the procession be dispensed with: Pennsylvania avenue to be kept clear; the Washington and Georgetown railroad ears stop running at 11 a.m., and also those crossing the avenue as soon as the head of the procession reaches the intersecting streets; the usual crowd following a procession be pre- vented.

MORGAN AND BECK—STATUS OF OTHER FORFEITURE BILLS, The Texas Pacific land grant forfeiture bill was passed in the Senate yesterday by a vote of 56 to 2, Senators Blair and Bowen yoting no, after Mr, Morgan’s amendment to refer the question of forfeiture to the courts had been rejected. During the debate Mr. Morgan, who had insisted upon referring the question tothe courts, took exception to a remark of Mr, Beck, to the effect that he thought when the Thur- man act was passed the government was taking some control of the land grant railroads, but he was mistaken, and every proposition coming from the House to assert government author- ity was met by some Senators with a counter proposition. Mr. Morgan retorted that he had een acting somewhat with the opposite side in these matters, but he would not allow his democracy to be impeached. He was a demo- erat before the Senator from Kentucky became acitizen of this country. Mr. Beck Teplied in the same spirit and said the fling at his nativ- ity was unworthy the Senator and unworthy @ reply. He said he did not regard Mr. Morgan as so important a personage after all, The House has already passed. bills forfeiting over 50,000,000 of acres of land, with an aver- age value, ai the lowest estimate, of ten to fit teen dollars per acre. But owing to the tardi- ness ofthe Senate only one of these bills—the Oregon Central—has become a law. ‘The House started in at the beginning of the 48th Congress with a determination to forfeitall the unearned Jands held by the railroad corporations. The public lands committee, with Mr. Cobb forchair- man, worked hard, and bills to the House forfeiting over a hundred million acres. ‘Their consideration was pressed upon the House by Mr. Cobb and Mr. iyson, and bills were passed last session declaring’ forfeited seven small southern grants, amounting in all toabout Seas ves eee lc, pos acres; the Oregon Cen! ,000,000 acres: the California Oregon, 3,000,606 acres, and thé At- Tanticand 35,000,000. acres. The other forfeiture bills, which forfeit abont 30,000,000 acres, are on the House calendar. The Senate has acted very Sore pon these bills. They passed the Oregon Central with an amendment giving the the lands co- termlnous with their work at the end of the time-the entire work should have been com- pleted, ‘This the House protestation, and the fo1 million acres became @ law.
