Special to the Seranton Tribune.
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. This sudden
change of front on the part of the peo
ple Interested in the movement for more
counties is uttributed to their appre
hension of the defeat of the Quay
county bill, in the form in which it
paBsed second reading- Muny mem
bers who were friendly to thu bill in Its
original foim refused to support it us
amended, und there wus nothing left
for its friends to do but change it or
run the risk of defeat, and they choose
the former.
' The bill was taken up at noon on a
special order for third reading. Mr.
Jeffrey, of Luzerne, who has the meas
ure In charge, moved to go into com
mittee of the whole for the purpose of
striking out the amendment. Mr.
Schurwz, of Monroe, raised the point
that an amendment inserted in second
reading cannot be eliminated on third
reading, and was sustained by the
speaker. Mr. Jeffrey then moved to
reconsider the vote by which the bill
passed second reading. This was adopt
ed and then a motion prevailed to strike
out the amendments. The opposition to
the Quay county movement objected
and demanded a vote. This was taken
and resulted in the adoption of the mo
tion. The bill then pussed second read
ing. Taxing l.oun Associations.
Bills on second reading was the or
der today in the house. One of the
first bills reached on the calendar was
the Cotton measure taxing building and
loan associations 4 mills on their pre
paid stock paying a dividend. Almost

u.WL .u. u.r p.u,, ...
under the lead of Mr. Clarency, of Phil
adelphia, made a strong fight against
It, but It went through by a vote of 'i
to 75.
The measure gives building and loan
associations the right to issue two r
more classes of stock and to Issue In
vestment stock not exceeding 2i) per
cent, of the total authorized capital
upon which the full par value or part
thereof may be paid ct one time and
to Issue certificates therefor, providing
the same cannot be withdrawn for one
year.
Olco Fighters Patch a Truce.
At last the oleo and antl-oleo people
have agreed upon a measure satisfac
tory to both Interests. When the bill
repealing the oleo act of USi. was
reached this morning Mr. Marshall, of
Allegheny, a staunch advocate of oleo,
offered an amendment which provides
hat half the fines shall go to the de
partment of agriculture for use of the
dairy and food commisssluner In en
forcing the act. This was a surprise to
the anti-people, who were prepared to
make a bitter struggle against the re
peul of the law with Mr. Merrick, of
Tioga, as their leader. They acquiesced
In the amendment, however, and the
bill went through. The other oleo bills
on the calendar will be dropped.
To Amend the lirooks Law.
The executive committee of the State
Retail Liquor Dealers' association met
here today and drafted the outlines of
a bill which modifies the lirooks high

license of $1,500. The license on u busi
ness of 110.004 shall be S5C0. There will

mittee of the whole for the purpose of

SPAIN IS SMY JUST HOW

I'rcvail in Old .Madrid.
GK0VUK DECLINES TO l'KOD 'EM
Since Spaniards Are so Unsettled, lie Will
Not Pursue the Alllunca Incident
with tho Eugenics That First
Seemed to Prevail.
Washington, March 27. Official ad
vices this morning Indicate the possi
bility of a conn d" etat in Spain before
the close pf the week. It Is believed
that the queen will within a few days
Issue a decree dissolving the chambers,
and that this will be followed by a
coup d'etat on the part of the military,
which will result for tho time, ut least,
In a practical dictatorship. 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.
The only news obtainable at th"
Spanish legation regarding the Alll
unca Is that the naval commander ut
Havana Is ut present engaged in taking
the affidavits of the crew of the gun
bout Venedlto, with a view to Incor
porating them In his report, which he
will make to the .Spanish government.
If Spain postpones her answer to .Secre
tary Gresham's dispatch until his re
port sliull have reached Madrid, a fort
night, at least, will necessarily elapse
before It Is received.
Cuban Insurrection Klsins.
Madrid March 27. The latest dis
patches from Havana have alarmed

and Is already beyond the control of
the local commanders. Tile decision
was made last night, therefore, to send
Martinez l)e Campos to Cuba with
strong relnforcemenis. Today it Is re
ported that 9.7ii0 additional troops will
embark with him. He will start prob
ably on April 2. The torpedo gun
boats Filipinos nnd Martin Alonzo Pln
zon and the cruiser Castillo, have re
ceived orders to proceed with all possi
ble speed to Cuban waters.
The publication of this news, which
completely contradicts the former san
guine dispatches from official sources,
has caused keen excitement here. It Is
announced this evening that Prlnio
Rivara has been appointed captain gen
eral of Cuba to succeed General Calla

llohcn's Injuries the Result.
Special to tho Seranton Tribune.
Washington, March 27. The coro
ners' inquiry Into the death of Half
back George liahen resulted In a ver
dict to the effect that death was the
result of foul play, and the Jury recom
mended the Indictment on the charge of
manslaughter of Columbia Athletic
club players whose names have not as
yet been divulged.
The faculty and student body of
Georgetown, In conjunction with Bah
cn's relatives, had made all arrange
ments for the funeral services to take
place today. Before the remains could
be conveyed to Klehmond, where inter
ment Is to tuke place. Coroner Hummett
ordered a postponement of the funeral
and proceeded to hold an Inquest at 2
o'clock today.
A number of witnesses were ex
amined, the most important of which
were Alfred U. Leote, the Columbia
player, who played opposite to Uahen
In the Thanksgiving Day game. 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.
He testified further that it was his
belief that Mahoney and Murphy, who
were in the fatul "tandem" play with
liohen' fell on the latter when he went
down and thus Inflicted the Injury to
thu spine which resulted In death.
Dumucing Testimony.
This opinion was dispelled however
by witness, who stated that neither
Mahoney nor Murphy were anywhere
near Buhon when the scrimmage ended.
Murphy retained his feet throughout
und Mahoney, who had the ball, was
downed fully fifteen yeards to the left
of where Bahon was lying. It Is evi
dent from the verdict that the coron
er's Jury pluced great stress upon the
testimony to the effect that Bahen re
ceived u kick In the buck after he had
been knocked down.
The testmony of Kobcrt O. Dill, Jr.,
a newpaper man, and others, that they
had heard It Btated that the Columbia
men would lay up Carmody, Muhohoy
and Uuhen, also hud a weighty influ
ence on tho Jury Inasmuch as these
men were the first of the six George
town men who were badly Injured in
the game. T. J. D.

on un English Subject.
THIS MAY K01L J0HX BULL
To Uo Sure, tho Aforesaid Subject Was
Drunk and Disorderly at the Time,
but That May Not Muke
Much Difference.
Baltimore, March 27. The British
steamer Laurestina arrived here this
afternoon from Santiago De Cuba.
From her crew the story of the killing
of John Lowe, one of their number, at
Santiago, March 19, wus learned in de
tall.
The Laurestina was loading iron ore
for this port. Lowe, who belonged in
Leeds, England, in company with an
other seamen, went ashore on the night i
of March IS and returned after mid
night. Lowe, who was intoxicated, ;
picked up a negro comrade on the dock
nnd started to return to thu town.
Near the city is the Spanish fort and all
who pass there, night or day, must
give the countersign or account for
their presence. In his maudlin condi
tion, Lowe attempted to pass without
explanation. The report of a dozen
rilles rang out on the night air and
Lowe fell dead, shot through the heart.
The negro fell with a wound In his hip,
but, recovering, begged for his life. lie
was recognized and allowed to return
to town.
Lowe's body wns taken into the fort
and it Is supposed, burled by the Span
ish authorities, who refused to give it
up when called upon by Captain Unl
vln. The negro boarded the Laurestina
and told his tale. The crew, composed
entirely of Englishmen, were angered
