T BATTLES
All Measures Poll in the House fur
Luck of Constitutional Majority.
NOT AFRAID OP WHIRLWINDS
Mr. Lytic Claims That No Member's
Constituency Is. I'rglng the Apportionment-Philadelphia's
Post
tiou-Tbo Vote In install.
Special to the Scranton Tribune.
Harrlsburg, May 31. There will be
no apportionment by this legislature.
This was settled this afternoon by the
defeat In the house of the congres
sional, senatorial and legislative bills.
The entire afternoon session was con
sumed In consideration of these three
measures. The bills were called up
by the Republican opponents of the
bills In violation of agreement made
at the caucus of the Republican mem
bers of the house, that they were not
to be taken up until the committee ap
pointed ito druft bills had made Its re
port. The main fight was made on the
legislative bill, which was first called
up. The test vote was on the ques
tion, "Shall the house proceed to con
sideration of the bill?" The motion
was carried by a vote of 85 to 83, nine
teen Democrats voting with opponents
of the bill. The measure was then vot
ed down by 78 yeas to 88 nays. The
senatorial and congressional appor
tionment bills were called up in turn
and defeated by practically the same
vote.
The fight against the bills was led by
Mr. Burrell, of Mercer, whose county
lost a representative by the legislative
bill; ex-Auditor General Nlles, and
Representatives Pelts, Lawrence,
Stewart, and Rlter. The defeat of
these measures is regarded as a victory
for the friends of Senator Quay.
Court Dill Panned.
Appellate court bill passed finally to
night in the house by a vote of 108 to
30, Mr. Merrick, the legal oracle of
farmers, made a strong fight against
the measure and was beaten at every
turn. He precipitated a long debate
by motion to go Into committee of the
whole to amend the bill by fixing
salary of Judges at $5,000 a year, In
stead of $7,000. Discussion was sud
denly brought to a close by Little, of
Philadelphia, moving previous ques
tion. This was agreed to, after which the
motion to go into committee of the
whole was defeated. The bill then
passed finally.
SCENES IN THE HOUSE.
The Debate I'pon Apportionment, and
Voto in Detail.
Harrlsburg, Pa., May 81. The house
met at 10 o'clock this morning. After
the reading of the general appropria
tion bill a second time, It was, on mo
tion of Chairman Marshall, recommit
ted to the committee on appropriations.
The calendar of appropriation bills
on first and second reading was cleared,
end the house then passed in double
quick time fifteen appropriation bills
finally, as follows: Warren Insane
hospital, $12,000; Western Pennsylvania
Institution for the Deaf and Dumb.
$9G,0i6:Charlty hospital of Montgomery
county, $05,000; Medlco-Chlrurglcal hos
pital, $150,000; dairy arid food commis
sioner, $17,000; State Normal Bchools,
$390,000; University of Pennsylvania,
$255,000; Slippery Rock Normal school,
$25,000; Western Pennsylvania Insti
tution for Feeble Minded, $287,000; for
an equestrian statute of the late Major
General J. F. Ilartrunft on the capital
grounds, $18,000.
It was almost impossible to keep the
members In the house, so Intense was
the heat.
When the bill appropriating $10,000
for the removal of the Eastern peni
tentiary came up on final passage there
was some opposition,
The bill passed yeaa, 114; nays, 42.
Mr. Lytle, of Huntingdon, at 3
o'clock called up for final passage the
representative apportionment bill.
Mr. Peltz, of Philadelphia, said this
was an adroit trick of the enemies
of apportionment to defeat the bills
relating to this Important question. Mr.
Nlles, Tioga, said that one hundred
and fifty papers In the state express
ing Republican sentiment had asked
for these apportionments. The house,
he argued, should pass these bills and
send them to the senate and let that
body, which was trying to defeat them
In this house, have the odium of their
defeat In their own chamber.
Mr. Stewart, Philadelphia, said that
they were here as sworn members to
obey and support the constitution. Mr.
Lytle, Huntingdon, asked him If the
same oath was not taken at the session
of 1893, and if an effort at all was made
to consider apportionment bills. Mr.
Lytle used the same argument aa when
the bills were before considered, saying
that the constitution did not make It
Imperative to make an apportionment
at this time, and that was the opinion
of some of the greatest lawyers In the
state, ,i
Will Imperil the Party.
Mr. Lawrence, Washington, said that
he feared the action of th members to
day would put the grand old Republi
can party In peril; although he did not
favor the bills a presented, he never
theless favored the apportionment of
the state.
Mr. Rlter, Philadelphia, denounced
the whole thing as a scheme to defeat
apportionment. He wanted the bills
laid over until Monday night, when
there would be a caucus of the Republi
can members, and the decision of that
caucus should decide the fate of the
bills. Those who were urging the con
sideration of these bills at this time, be
said, had gone Into an unholy alliance
with the Democratic party In the house,
who were praying for no apportion
ment. On agreeing to take up the bill
for consideration the yeas were It and
the nays 83. When the vote was aa
flounced, Mr. Rlter declared that the
Republican party was today sowing the
wind and would reap the whirlwind.
He charged even that It was a majority
of the Republican members of the house
that voted to stay action on this bill
but by the assistance of thirteen Dem
ocrats it was otherwise carried. , He
hoped that the Republican members of
the house would now stand by the ma'
Jorlty of their own members.
Not Afrold of Whirlwinds.
Mr. Lytle replied that they were not
afraid of whirlwinds. No member's
constituency was here urging these
bills. "We are here," he replied, "In
honest opposition to dishonest meas
ures."
On the final passage of the bill the
yeas were 88, and the nays 78. and the
bill fell. Mr. Mnrtln, Lawrence, called
up the senatorial apportionment bill
for consideration. On agreeing to Mr.
Martin's motion the yeas were 85 and
the nays 7!. It wus therefore agreed
to, and, on final passage the yeas were
80 and the nays .88
This bill also fell. Mr. Burrell, Mer
cer, called up for consideration the con
gresdlonal apportionment bill. On Mr
IlurreU's motion the yeas were 88 and
the nays 74.
Before taking the vote on the final
passage of the bill, Mr. Stewart, of
Philadelphia, called the attention of
the Phlludclphlan to the fact that If
this bill passed that city would be en
titled to two additional members of
congress, and he hoped that Its mem
bers In the house would not be recreant
to the Interests of that city.
Mr. Fow, of Philadelphia, said that
he would not have spoken on the ques
tion, but his party was charged with
being In an unholy alliance with the
opposition to the bills. He wanted It
understood that his party was against
the bills because they were unfair and
inequitable. In cutting out a congres
sional district in Phllat'"phla to rob
80,000 Democratic vo j of a represen
tative In congretm, the district was
made a monstrosity and should be put
on exhibition.
Speeches favoring the bill were made
by Messrs. Rlter and Nlles; Mr. Burrell
spoke against its passage. On agreeing
to the bill on final passage the yeas
were 81 And the nays 85. A constltu
tlonal majority not voting in favor of
the bill. It fell.

DETWE1LEB HEARD FROM.
The Grand Exalted Huler Warns All Elks
to Shun tho Atlantic City Paction.
Harrlsburg, Pa., May 31. Grand Ex
alter Huler Meade D. Detweller, of this
city, who wsb elected at the Buffalo
meeting of Elks last week, has issued
a letter to the members of that order
in which he says:
For six months there have been cries of
peace, peace, when there Is no peace, and
I believe that it Is the almost universal de
sire of the Order of Elks that there Bhould
be peace. Yet a fow selfish and designing
men have done and are doing all that they
cun to prevent peace and reconciliation.
It shall be my first duty to use my utmost
endeavor to establish a perfect and agree
ablo runlon of all tho lodges and restore
harmony.
If I fall after exhausting these efforts,
and our misguided secessionists still desire
war and conflict, they shall have It. They
seem to take prldo In a useless dissension,
and seem determined to disrupt tho order.
In my official rapacity I am determined to
prevent tho latter.
No court of record has yet given a de
cision that puts that stamp of legality
upon the Atlantic City faction.
1 warn all lodges holding or claiming to
hold ClKpcnsatlons and charters from the
grand lodgo of tho Benevolent and Pro
tective Order of Elks from rc'cognizlng In
any way the so-called and Bpurlous grund
lodgo which met at Atlantic City In June,
1894, and which It Is proposed to hold In
July, 1895. I forbid any representation of
any subordinate lodges from attending tho
meeting of said illegal, contumacious nnd
rebellious body.
BIO FIRE AT PITTST0X.
Jewelry Store, Photograph Gallery, News
Agency and Tailoring Establishment,
in tho Same nuilding, Burned out at
Mldnlr.lit.
Special to the Scranton Tribune.
Plttston, June 1. Smoke was seen Is
suing from the portion of the Howe
building on Main street, occupied by
Perrln's news agency, at midnight, and
a few minutes later flames broke forth
furiously. The fire companies were
called out, and It required the most
strenuous efforts of the fire laddies to
prevent the blaze from spreading to the
adjoining buildings and possibly caus
ing a disastrous conflagration.
The building was owned by John
Howe and occupied by Berry's jewelry
store, Frltsch's photograph gallery,
Buss' tailoring establishment, and Per
rln's news agency. It burned up fierce
ly and was totally destroyed. The fire
did not damage adjoining buildings and
was put out at 2 a. m.
The origin of the fire Is unknown,
neither was It learned whether much
Insurance had been carried on the de
stroyed stock. Perrln's loss Is not esti
mated; Berry's loss is $1,500; Frltsch's
$1,600, and Buss' $1,000. The building
was worth $1,500.
MR. HILL'S "HONEST DOLLAR."
As I'stinl, He Advocates What Can Easily
Bo Prevented by Foreign Money Lend
ers. Albany, May 31. Senator Hill today
was asked whether he had read Sher
man's speech on the monetary ques
tion. "Yes," said the senator, "I have care
fully perused Senator Sherman's Zanes
vllle speech on silver, which a New
York newspnper commends as "a sound
deliverance.' If an Ohio Democrat had
made that speech, there would hove
been condemnation all along the Re
publican rank.
"The implication startled me that
there are, in k prosperous state like
Ohio, Republican voters who wish to
degrade our dollar standard, repudiate
one half our public debt, and pay their
debts In cheaper money than they
promised to pay.
"I would exterminate forever the
greenback dollars, which, by the end
less redemption chain, make the chlef
est of our existing currency woes.
I would by International bimetallism
by free bimetallic coinage on a ratio of
16. and not by Senutor Sherman's
bastard bimetallism exemplified In his
law of 1S!)0, now repealed, lift our
standard dollar Into a parity with
our gold dollars. I would, there
by, put an end to the degradation of
any coined dollar of ours. Could I
have my wish, I would not have the
treasuiy purchase another ounce of sil
ver or noln another silver dollar under
existing conditions, till the possibility
of international bimetallism, on a ratio
of 15.fc has boen fairly tested by the
whole power of the United States exert
ed tarneptly and In good faith."
LOSS OF CARRIE E. LONG.
The OH Vcsssl Destroyed by a Stroke
of l ightning.
Philadelphia, May 31. A cablegram
from Havana was received hero today
reporting the loss of the bulk oil carry
lug bark Carrie E. Long, from Phila
delphia for Havana, by being struck by
llghtnlnrr near the Bahama islands, and
the death of the captain, mate and two

hama Islands and totally destroyed;
that Captain Henry Rolf, master of the
Long, Charles Essperg, first mate, and
two seamen had been killed and that

of lightning that destroyed the ship,
and that the balance of the crew took
to the boats and landed on the Island.
Captain Rolf was a resident of Bay
onne, N. J., where he leaves a wife and

Port Bowkley today, and at 11 o'clock
tonight was burning fiercely, and fully
5004'eet of the gangway was a blazing
furnace.
A terrific explosion also was caused
by the fire at 6 o'clock this evening, and
Patrick J. Duddy, a mine boss, and Mor
gan Hevan, a tlmberman, wero badly
burned. The cause of the fire Is laid to a
Polish miner who was at work In his
breast of the mine and the way he set oft
a small feeder of gas. He endeavored to
extinguish the flames, but was unable
to do so, and without raising an alarm
or notifying any one, he made his way
to the foot of the Bhaft and went hme.
Tho flames made rapid headway and
soon spread to the timbers and brattice
work, and the first intimation that any
thing was wrong came through the
smell of smoke that made its way
through the mine and was drawn to the
surface by the fan.
The mine bosses and fire bosses at
once located the blaze and realizing that
they had a hard fight before them be
gan active preparations at once to sub
due the flames.
Fighting the Flames.
At 10 o'clock nearly 3,000 feet of pipe
had been lowered into the shaft, and
3,000 fee.t more was ordered to be deliv

which Is at the foot of the shaft, and
from the supply of water on hand they
are In hopes of conquering the flames
with streams played on the Are from
hose.
When the explosion occurred, Duddy
and Bcvan, who were near by,
were hurled from their feet and each
received a bad shaking up, besides se
rious burns. To add ito this misfortune
a full of roof followed, and Mr. Duddy
was caught and had a limb fractured
also. Help soon reached him, and he
was carried to the foot of the Bhaft.
He and Bevan were then hoisted to
the surface and taken to their homes.
At the time of the explosion occurred
much excitement prevailed In Port
Bowkley and vicinity, and large crowds
of men, women and children surround
ed the shaft waiting for news from be
low. At midnight tonight the officials In
charge of fighting the flames are con
fident that they will succeed in putting
out the fire with the hose by Sunday
morning, and that there will be no need.

GOOD SIGNS IN SIGHT,
Dun A Co.'s Review of Trade, la Sot Is
fatcory in General Sentlmcrits of Hope
ful Nature.
New York, May 23 R. O. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review, tf trade tomorrow
will say:
More far-reaching than ' any other
change during; the past week, If really
warranted by facts, is the continued
rise In prices of wheat and cotton. Real
scarcity ot either would affect all busi
ness. Happily there Is slim room to
hope that accounts of Injury are great
ly exaggerated, although there has
been some evidence during the week
that both the great crops have suffered
more than at first appeared. Other
changes are almost all favorable and
some highly encourageing. Labor
troubles are clearly less threatening.
Monetary conditions are satisfactory,
nnd the substantial Increase In the
commercial demand Is a good sign. Ex
changes through the clearing houses
have been greatly Inflated by specula
tion, and at this time last year were cut
down by the coal strike, and toward
the end of May, 1S93, greatly reduced
by bank failures, but for the week
exceed last year's by 19 per cent., and
fall only B.6 per cent, below those of
1893, while the dally average for May
Is 26.9 per cent, larger than last year,
but 7.1 per cent, less than In 1S93.
Stock speculation has shrunk to less
than half Its volume three weeks ago,
and Is nlmont wholly confined to pro
fessionals, In spite of better earnings.
The failures during the past week
have been 215 In the United States
against 1S Inst year, and 34 In Can
ada against 27 last year.
