Harrlsburg, March 27. The house took a step backward today on the Quay county bill. The uineudinent carrying with it the creation of lion ongahela county, which was Inserted yesterday, was stricken out und the vote reconsidered by which the bill passed second leading.

Tills move ment, It Is believed, will bo headed by General Campos, who reflects the prevalent military hostility to the edi tors of the Madrid papers, which re cently so severely criticised both the army and the navy. If tile coup d'etut should be effected, It will be probably followed by the withdrawal of the Cunovas ministry from power. lu these circumstances the state department Is not likely to hear from the Spanish foreign otllce re garding the Alllunca Incident for some time.

He ad mitted having knocked Ilahen down in the fatal scrimmage, but claimed that It was the natural result of a collision, and that no foul or rough playing was done.
