THE TRUCE IN THE HOUSE. That Body Gets Down to Business in Good Style. OKLAHOMA BILL IN THE SENATE. ——_—— THE NATE. Bills authorizing the construction of a bridge across the Detroit river at Detroit and across the Mississippi river at Natchez were reported back adversely from the committee on com- merce, The first was indefinitely postponed and the second was placed on the calendar. On motion of Mr, Allison the Senate bill to amend and alter the act of August 6, 1888, authorizing the construction of a railroad, wagon and foot passenger bridge across the Mississippi river at Burli n, Iowa, was taken from the calendar an It ex- tends for two years from the passage of this act the time for beginning and finishing the bridge, and it makes other changes in the original bill, On motion of Mr. Frye, Senate bill appro- priating $75,000 for a public building at Lewis- ton, we was taken from the calendar and Mr. Harris moved an adjournment from to- day till Monday. ‘MR. BLAIR OBJECTS. Mr. Blair objected to the motion, saying that he had not finished his remarks on the school bill yesterday; that he hardly hoped to do so today, and that he expected to close his speech tomorrow. He therefore hoped that the Senate would not adjourn over till Tondey. Mr. Hawley suggested that tomorrow be as- signed to debate on the school bill and that no other business be done. He added that when Senators adjourned over it was not to escape work, but to do work, Mr. George remarked that Fridays and Satur- days were the busiest days he had, Mr. Blair declined to accept Mr. Hawley’s prop- osition, and said that if Senators desired to ig- nore the education biil and not to attend the sessions when it was under discussion, they could do so on their responsi- bility, but he would not be a party toit. He withdrew his opposition to the motion to ad- journ over, and the motion was agreed to. On motion of Mr. Call the House bill grant- ing the use of certain lands to the city of St. Augustine, Fla., for a public park was taken up and passed, THE OKLAHOMA BILL. ‘The Senate then took up the bill to provide a temporary government for the territory of Oklahoma, and the clerk continued the reading of the bill, which had been begun yesterday. After the reading of the Dill was finished various formal amendments were offered and agreed to. Mr. Vest called attention to the provision in section 5 under which persons of foreign birth having declared their intention to become citi- zens are permitted to vote at the first election. He admitted that that was the rule in the or- ganization of other territories, but he had always thought it A GREAT OUTRAGE, Mr. Platt, who has charge of the bill as chairman of the committee on territories, re- marked that there was no practical difficulty in the matter. The people who were going to vote in Oklahoma were there now—40,000 or 50,000 of them, He did not think that the committee had done wrong in foliowing the established rule. Mr, Reagan condemned the demagog- ery which had chenpened the right of suf- frage until the welfare of American institu- tions were endangered. THE HOUSE. The democrats this morning carried ont their policy of silent protes: against the rulings of the Speaker by declining to vote upon the question of approving the journal. This in- strument was, however, approved by a vote of z= 153, nays 0 (the constitutional quorum jing counted by the Speaker.) THE NEW CODE REPORTED, Mr. Cannon (Ill), from the committee on rules, reported the new code of rules and it was ordered printed and recommitted. Mr. Canpon then offered a resolution pro- viding for the printing of 1,000 copies of the new code for the use of the House, Mr. Cummings (N.Y.) facetiously offered an amendment (which was nat considered) pro- viding for the printing of 2.000 copies of the general parliamentary law under which it was alleged that the House was governed, Mr. Cannon's resolution was adopted. The Senate direct tax bill was laid before the shea and referred to the committee on judi- ciary. Mr. Anderson (Kan.) introduced abill for a classification of public lands and for a revision ved cored relating to the public lands, Re- err THE OKLAHOMA BOOMERS. Mr. Tarsney (Mo.) offereda resolution recit- ing thatit is charged that many hundred indi- viduals entered Oklahoma in violation of the act of Congress and of the proclamation of the President, ard directing the Speaker to ap- point a select committee of five members to in- vestigate the matter.

The Valleys of the Columbia and Wil- lamette Rivers Submerged. Porttanp, One., Feb. 6.—This morning the Columbia river at this point is at a standstill and it is hoped that no further rise will occur. At Carvallis and Oregon City the river is re- ported falling at the rate of one inch per hour. ‘The water in the city of Portland is the highest known since 1876, but so far ithas been con- fined to s comparatively small district, but though causing much inconvenience, has oc- casioned no serious damage, The water last night was twenty-eight feet above high-water mark and extended four squares back from the river front to 3d street. ‘The flood has been caused by the simulta- neous rising of the Willamette and Columbia rivers, which are usually at the high stage sev- eral months apart. The main flood has been in the Willamette, but the usual stage of water inthe Columbia prevented the former river running off, as it usually does, More serious damage has been occasioned throughout the Willamette valley than here. Bridges were car- ried away at Salem and Oregon City and many small houses built near the river washed away. Communication with these points is very un- certain, andthe full extent of the damage is a matter of conjecture. THE SCENE IN PORTLAND. A large part of the territory flooded in Portland is low ground, not occupied by buila- ings, but in the business streets submerged, where the lower stories of a number of biocks are flooded, the subsidence of the water may reveal unsuspected damage to the structures, as astrong current is running. The greatest danger apprehended is that one or both of the bridges crossing the Willamette river—wooden structures—may be carried away by the high water and driftwood, Should this happen it is feared that the steel railroad bridge below would go out, as the stage of the water is too high to permit of any drift passing under it. Aside from these contingencies the real damage to the city will be trifling. The isola- tion of Portland from the east for the past three days was not caused by floods, but by land slides along the Columbia river obstruct- ing the tracks and destroying poles and wires on the Oregon railway and navigation com- pany’s lines, No trains have ran out of here exeept to Taeoma. The only other travel has been by the Columbia river boats, THE STEEL BRIDGE THREATENED, At 11:25 the man in charge of the steel bridge suddenly calied out for all hands te get off it, His warning was preceded by two short, clicking sounds, ‘The throng, numbering hundreds, immediately dis} ‘The east end of the draw had lost ite bearings and the rollers had Soret out of place. The water has risen to such a height that the center caissons cannot be seen and a very slight rise will carry the water up to the horizontal works. FLOOD NOTES. ‘The wagon bridge across the Willamette at Salem was swept away Monday night. It was 1,000 feet long and cost $75,000, No less than ten millions of logs have been swept away on the Willamette and Columbia rivers in the last two days. Large quantities of sawed lumber and a number of mills on the rivers hav been carried Southern Py ic officials do not venture an opinion as to when their road will be open west. All communication south and east of here has been cut off for five days and no trains are arriving over the Southern Pacific or Union Pacific. Trains are running to Ta- coma, Wash,, over the Northern Pacific, but a heavy storm in the Cascade mountains has cut off communication to the east, it is impossible to closely estimate the dam- age at present, but it will probably reach half & million dollars, ‘the rain has ceased throughout the Willa- mette valley and the river at point is at a standstill, The nian and were compelled to move ir business offices further back from the river last evening, there being at resent several feet of water on the first floor. Lhe editorial rooms. which are on the second floor, are reached by boats. A dispatch from McMinville, Ore., states that the town of Wheatland is almost swept away, much stock drowned and a large amount of grain destroyed, Bridges have been carried away at Oregon City, and many small houses built near the river were washed away. Communication with Salem and Oregon City is very uncertain and the full extent of the damage done at those points is a matter of conjecture. All the merchants along the water front and for two streets back from the river have been compelled to suspend business and move their stocks to higher ground. The water rose so rapidly that many of them were unable to move pearly arailroad succeeded im getting @ train ised of vupplies through.
