llanlsburg, Fob. 13. 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

nounced th.it as soon as she had
"cleaned up thltiRs" at homo she
would come back here, and If thirds
weie not pioperly taken caio of by
the authorities, she and he,r fi lends
would take matter In thIrown hands
and, to use her own expression, "we
will m.ihe somenirs."
Her meeting with the saloon-kep-ei.
s whli li she announced that she
would eairy out. did not mateilnllzr.
and In default of having them for all
itidlencf she went once moio to the
saloon at L'?0 State sttect, which she
vlhit"d last night and In which her
gianJson is mtniagcr, and dellveicd a
U'lk to the people Pile found there.
It was a moth'y throng, embracing all
classes Mis. Nation mounted a table
and foi llftien minutes talked with
Kieat I'lieigv, uiglng her hcaioih to
'ihaudon both the use and Kile ot
Honor, and denouncing In the met
measuied terms all those pho permit
t.d its side auywh. le .n the city. As
she left the plarc slif went up to a
woman who possessed a ilcli blade eye
and lemarked ".My. my. what a pltv!
Who gave il to oil?"
"Vou better ask your giandson who
gae It to me." wes thf iulelc ictirt.

made a stop In a place at ft tate
street, owned by U. V. Dioyfijs. The
piopilctor gieeted her politely, and
lomirked that he was a lelatlve of
Captain Dreyfus of the Fietieh army.
"How do you think that he would
like to see you In this business." The
saloon-keeper icplled that he was
making un honest living.
This called down a torrent of wrath
ful woids and after Intoimlng hhn
that he was a "murderer," "deal's
scullion" and a few other things of
that n.ituic, Mrs. Nation left the place.
Her meeting at Wlll.ird hall tonight,
which pieceded her islts to the sa
loons, was attended by alxnit "00 peo
ple, neatly all of them temperance
people, who applauded evet vthlne that
she said. II 'r talk was not lonx and
In closing she declared that she did
not want any hatchets used, and that
she believed In peaceable means of
closing the saloons as far as possible.
All means of that kind, she said, should
bo exhausted before more violent
methods weie employed. "Now I am
going hack home for jo. few weeks,"
she deelaifd ns she closed, "and as
soon as I havo cleaned house out theie
and It will not he long, 1 will be back
heie again and If tho authoiltles have
done nothing and are willing to do
nothing we will see -what Is best to be

Lead Cove Anothei Wreck
Feaied.
By KxcltiMt" Wire fim The AMjrlaterJ pro..
St. Johns, N. F Feb. 13. It Is al
most certain that the Lucerne was the
victim of the disaster near TJaceaMou.
A message from the agent to the own
'is this evening says:
"Unidentified wreckage, the same as
Lucerne's fittings, found nt Lead
ow,"
The agent would ceitninly know the
vessel's bildge deck, which wus what
dilfted .lshoie. but he would not euio
lo admit tor the sake of the ulatlves
of the crow. The nwneis and mat hies
conversant with the whole affair agree
that tho ship has gone. Her loss In
volves thhty lives, twenty-tlueo of her
own crew and seven others, ship
wrecked seamen and passengeis.
The supposition Is that she cither
burst her boilers and went to uleces
or struck the cliffs and foundeicd. Tho
only fact Itevond dispute Is that a
steamer and ctew have oeilfdicd. As
all the Lucerne's crow icsldcd here,
the disaster has appalled tho whole
community, being the woist known
since the Greenland dlsusler tinea
yea is ago.
H is now leaied that another wreck
has ocelli red, In this tn" a sailing
vessel, as a spai belonging lo a thiee
niasted schooner drifted ashoie at
Blackhead this evening lioin the
wieckage, which lould not have he
longed to tho Luceine. This adds to
tho depiesslon, beiviuso the vessel may
be a local tlshlng craft whose loss has
Involved the lives ot another eight or
ten lesldents of St. Johns.
