Pittsburg, with Allegheny an assuted
ally, and when tho Joint committee
o" the fcnati! and house sits tomorrow
nfternoon to hear tho rpprcsentntlvoi
of the three second class cities on the
Muehlbionner hill, it will learn that
the ofilclal committees of the throe
affect imI cities do not want the act at
ill, but prefer to have the present net
.otnlncd with a few Amendments.
The only ones now counted upon to
'peak In faor of tho now bill aio the
antl-lilnnite's of Pittsburg, repre
sented by tho chamber of commetcs
committee and such individual citi
zens of Allegheny as Senator Muchl
bronner nnd thu active supporters ot
his act cm bring on here today. With
the defeat of tho "ilppor" feature a
practically foregone conclusion In tho
senate. It Is questionable If the Muehl
bronner act will be urged very stren
uously, nt least for tho present.
Will Require Force.
Nothing but a most vigorous applica
tion of the whip, it is thought, wilt
force it through the upper house, and
on this account it is likely the local
lieutenants will hesitate to nttempt its
passage until United Slates Senator
Quay returns from Flo-Ida.
Tho last reports are that Senator
Quay is still a very sick man and may
not bo able to come north for several
weeks. The friends of the Muehlbron
ner hill, It should be borno in mind, do
not want tho bill unless they can havo
tho "ripper" feature preserved.
This momentary chango in the sec
ond class city legislation matter was
brought about in a conference this
nfternoon in ono of tho senate commit
tee rooms. The Scranton delegation,
consisting of City Solicitor A. A. Vos
bursr, Select Councllmen J. E. F.oche
nnd D. W. Vaughan and Common
Councllmen M. J. Norton nnd E. J.
Coleman and ex-Mayor John II. Tel
low s, upon arriving at 3.30 o'clock went
to tho Commonwealth and without
waiting to brush up accompanied Sen
ntor Vaughan and Senator Fllnn to
the capitol, wlure they found in wait
ing a delegation of Pittsburgers ready
lo confer with them.
Did Not Attend.
In this delegation were Mayor W. S.
Eichl, City Attorney Clarence Bur
leigh, Controller David Lewis, Treas
urer David Torrence, Assessor F. J.
Klurnp. Clerk E. J. Martin and a dozen
minor city olllclals, Including the conn
cllmanlc committee.
The Allegheny committee, headed by
Dhector of Public Safety John P.. Mur
phy nnd Director of Public Woiks Hob
crt MacAfee, wero in tho city nnd to
eelved an Invitation to nltona tho con
ference. Senator Fllnn could not ex
plain their absence, but ho vouchsafed
tho information that they wero opposed
to a change in the present act. This
Information was aheady at hand In
the repoits In the morning papers of
tho action of tho Allegheny councils
last night, when they decluted solidly
against the whole Muehlbronner noi.
Senator Vaughan was jnudo chair
man of the conference and Senator
Fllnn secretary. Senator Fllnn mated
that tho conference was arranged by
himself and Senator Vaughan, nnd
then announced for the Plttsbuig dele

foi table quarters for tho troops aro

The question of an extra resslon Is
still In nbeyanco, but tho opinion Is
exptcssed that in tlu event of congress
passing tha Spooner Philippine bill nn
extra session may bo avoided, espec
ially nj? thero seems to bo doubt
whether the Cuban constitution will

With the Spooner bill unacted upon

Chief's Statement.
Eater, Chief of Pollco Stahl, in an in
terview said: "I do not earn If Mrs.
Nation smashes every joint in Topeka.
I sympathize with her. I hope she will
close up the saloons of the city. As an
officer of tho law, though, it 1b my
duty to an est her every time she cre
ates a disturbance or destroys prop
erty. If we had tho rlgnt kind of stato
officers It would not be necessaiy for
Mrs. Nution to do what she Is doing."
Today Mis. Nation dictated an appeal
"to the child! en of the high schools ot
the United States." In which sho urged
children everywhere to smash saloon
windows with rocks.
