After ii two hours' debate in the senate today tho Muehlbionner bill, just us reported liom committee last night, was passed on third reading und Is now leady for the concur: ence of the house. The vote was 2S to IS. The neces sniy constitutional majority Is '-'i. Senators Vaughun and Spioul, two Mahvuitrf, voted against the bill. This loft only twenty-three stalwarts re maining. The live votes which were joined to those of the faithful stal w.ut.s were those of the Quay Demo ti. Us, Senators Haines, Boyd, f tiles, Neeloj und Hlggins. There are likely to ! some deuotlon lrom Uie stalwart Links whin the bill Is on passage ilu oiigh the house, but the friends of the mtuhurc say they can spaio the votes of cvciy man who is tluciitanlng to lefuse to "swallow the 'rlppei.' " It Is likely these defections ate not an numerous as some are claiming. Sen ntor Penrose Is on the ground wot king hcioicnlly for the bill and, as many of those who thicatcncd to defect will take orders from Senator Penrose whin they would not take them troin the local lieutenants the ehunevs ate that by the time the votes arc wanted they will be forthcoming In abund ance. Called Up Suddenly. It as not expected last night that the "ilppei" would be called up on thhd leading today. Tho intention was to icport it this afternoon and i all It up tomorrow. The managers of the bill. however, deemed it dangerous to delay, and taking advantage of the tact Mini the senate has not as yet adopted lulcs of proceduie, concluded to push the bill through today. The bill imii nut on the calendar and the printed copies did not reach the mt.m bi'ia' tick until tho Eesslon was well on 'ind nut mote than half an hour bcfoie It was called up. Senator Fllnn piottsted against the measure being considered, because; theie had not been Mitllcient time al lowed the members to even read It, and lier.uii'o there was nothing on iceoid to Indicate that the bill was uady for thhd leading. Lieutenant riovcriior lioblii, w ho was presiding, ruled that Sir. Fllnn's posl tlun would bo light If the senate was walking under Its customaiy lulr-s, hut in the absence' of any inlcs the bodv itself must detcimlne Us pio ceduie. Senator Fl inn again piotesled against what ho chin acidized as Indecent haste, but uh he and his associates knew the opposition had a majority. Mips did not take tin- tumble to call for in are and nay vote when Piesl rtmt (lobln decided thai the motion to "Jisldcr tho bill on thud leading had (i majority on the via voce vote. Senator Welle r, an Instil gent, of lied loul lalsed the point of order that theio was nothing to Miow that the bill had icached thlid leading. Piesl dent Gobin niipii that the Journal would govern, mid directed the eleik to rend the extiacts heating upon the passage of the bill. This being done, the point of ouler was decided against Sir Wellei and tho bill was declined to be befote the house on thhd lead ing Flinn Hits Back. Senator Pllnn then launched the at tack on the bill by offering an amend menl to strike out the clause abolish ing tho olllce of mayor. "Tluee cities nte affected by this bill." Senator Pllnn went on to say. "These tluee cities aio represented bv live senators. Pour of theso five senatois aio opposed to the hill. The city lepresented by tho fifth senator (Muehlbionner. of Alleghenv), has, through its legislative bodies, by a practically unalmouns vote dclaivd ngalnst tho mcasuio, i SUy -ulvlsedly that if he properly lepiescntod tho wishes of his constituents he would vote with his colleagues aghist this bill." Senator Fllnn concluded by usk. ing Senator Muehlbronner to oxplai: why ho proposed to abolish the olll of mayor. Senator Muohlbronncr leplieil tint it was for a constitutional icuson vliich he was not just at that time piepni.-d to fully explain. The bill, he further said, was not pet feet and did not whol ly satisfy ills constituents, but he was not willing to have It amended In the senate and wanted that this should ho attended to in the house, "That's us much satisfaction n 1 havo ever been able to get to any In quiries concerning this hill that 1 havo directed to tho gentleman from Alle gheny," said Senutor Pllnn.
