The latent trwtiMe Wean "n Friday las', when Siieaker Karr J. ),nr-(l the adjourned almost im- nn-diiitelr after the tx!y bad l-een ca!l'd to order. The hotjw wk raj! to ori't alMut 15 minute late anl as mnh tinif as K-iitie was eon'iined in reading th journal of the trer)nu day'n pro'-eed-ine. At 11 o'd'x k orders of the day were tailed on the ground that 11 o'eloek wai the propiK-r hour for adjournment nnd'-i the rules of th" house. Representative Iiiis raised the point of order that th nil" for the Friday sessions had been liarirel filing the hour of meeting nt 10.3 in order that the hoti might 1 kept in ""n-ion until the hour for tha meeting of the joint eonrention. and that thi.t harigo had l-en recogniz-d or the speaker and the house on every Friday kinie its adoption. The rile ehuiiK-IiK th" hour of meeting from it o'eloek to V'.''t a read, but a it contained no tpUt-wv to the hour of adjournment the eaker decided that it h.-id U-i-n hai i'''d only at one end and declared the house adjourned, refuping to entertain an appeal from his decision. Inntnntlr pandemonium. tr.ke loose. The anti-Qnay men assert thit Fan- action in adjourning the house ai to prevent the irit'odti'-tion of a reoution hy f;-n-era I Koontz. of Somerset, for the ap pointment of additional meniner on the hriU-ry invpstigntin;: comn.i'tee. As soon us the uproar subsided snf ficiently for anyone to he heard a motion was made that Representative P.liss take the chair, which was carried by a viva voce vote. The regular officers having ad journed along with Farr. Chairman Iilis designated Representative Fow a clerk and ordered a roll call to ascertain the presence of a quorum. In spite of the , fact that a large number of members bud paired and gone borne, that the Quay members bad left the ball or refrained from answering to their names, the roll call revealed the presence of T1 mem bers, or one less than a quorum. Had there been another memler present there is little doubt that a resolution would have been adopted declaring the speak er' chair vacant and a new speaker promptly elected and installed. Qnay Loses JThree Supporter. After some discussion a motion offered by Mr. Clarency, of Philadelphia, provid ing that a committee of inquiry, consist ing of Representative Clarency, Young and Woodruff. Republicans, and Iixon and Palmer, Democrats, were promptly named. At the hour of 12 Speaker Farr reap peared, culled the bouse to order and an nounced the entrance of the senate to take part in the joint convention. The calling of the roll on the '."nh joint bal lot proved as sensational as the earlier proceeding in the house. For the first time since the beginning of the Ions deadlock the Quay linea were broken, tbree members leaving him and joining the anti-Quuy forces. The first break occurred when the name of Me Clellan Hersh. of Philadelphia, was rated. He voted for George F. Huff, hi fellow anti-Quay members applauding as he did bo.. The second break waa Repre- Hcntative Mackey. of Lackawanna, who voted for Judge Charles E. Rice amid re newed applause. The third to change was Leslie Yates, of Philadelphia, who voted for P. A. B. Widener. There baa !een talk of ousting Farr from the apeakership. The anti-Quay forces are nRsured by their legal advisers that a majority .vote of the house could make vacancies in the offices of speaker and clerks. From "Bwknlew on the Con atitution" Is quoted : "That either 'house may remove ut plensure any officer of the house (except lieutenant governor) results from the clear words and certain meaning of the fourth section of the sixth article." The doubt that had ex isted as to the vote necessary to do this la banished by the anti-Quay leaders. but some of thwn, including Represents wve IlliHH, are convinced that nfter a protest no further action will )c neces' aary. The Magee jury bill waa again side tracked last week. There was a big break In the factional lines. Many of the Quayites who have been steadfastly aupMrting the measure voted aye on a motion to postpone it for the present, fearful that it would meet with defeat it an attempt waa made to pass it. Such. Indeed, would probably have been its fate, and Borne of the anti-Quay men and Democrat voted against the postpone ment. Parties and factions were badly mixed up. A count of the vote on post ponement showed 82 yeas and T(S nays, while 41 members were absent or would not place themselves on record. From all Indications it would seem that even though the Mil has been amended to suit Anti-Quay Leader Flinn, much mission ary work wilt have to lie done to muster the necessary 103 votes for final pas sage. ' Meat InHpootors For Pennsylvania. The result of the investigation iato the character of the meat supplied to the soldiers in Cuba and Porto Rico during the Spanish war may help to pass a bill Introduced by Representative Adams, of Philadelphia.

Juries Mar Save From tne oinown. Representative Mr-Andrews, of I-O- xerne, presenter a inn m j"" cretion in murder cases of the first de gree to say whether a verdict of guilty should carry with it a sentence of death. The bill has a preamble, which set forth that the jury on a homicide case is confronted with the consideration 01 age. illuess or the peculiar environments of the accused, which should be allowed weight in arrivintf at the question whether the accused should or siiouiu not be capitally punished. The bill then provides that it shall be lswful lor Junes on homicide cases to qualify their ver dicts by adding the words "without capi tal punishment." This qualifying power is not to be limited to cases in nmcu the court or the jury is of the opinion that there are palliating or mitigating circumstances, but to be extended to everv case in which the jury is or tne opinion that it would not t be wise to im pose capital punisnmeni.
