yesterday afternoon met the first de
feat in her saloon I hi ashing career.
Later, at the police station, she laimti
Ingly declared that it was by no means
her Waterloo, and nlie would soon
again he at her chosen work.
With six women, each armed with
new hatchets, she had started out at 3
o'clock to wreck a restaurant in Kast
Sixth trept that also dispensed liquors.
Before she could wield her hatchet she
was disarmed and a free for all slrun
yo between the restauranl people and
wre kera was begun, The greatest ex
citement prevailed for a time, during
which numerous eyes were blackened
and man) noses hied. Mrs. .Nation,
herself unable to accomplish anything,
shouted orders to her followers to re
open ill- onslaught, but the hatchet
brigade bad been Btampeded, and not
another hand was raised against the
obnoxious restaurant. Mrs. Nation was
led away to the station on a charge o(
disturbing the peace, and she was fol
lowed by a Jeci Ing crowd.
She took her determination to raid
the place very suddenly. At a meeting
of the "hatchet brigade" in the I til
led Presbyterian church yesterday af
ternoon she announced that a raid
would he made on a drug store and a
joint at 7 o'clock this morning. The
women were greatly alarmed at the
publicity which Mrs. Nation gave her
plans, hut Mrs. Nation said sin- was
" not particularly Interested in keep
ing tin' matti r a secret."
Ail those women who will promise
me to come with their hatchets to
morrow at 7 o'clock to do some work

women stood up,
"lino's good," exclaimed Mrs. Na
tion. "Two are enough to smash a

to stop us women you may have the
privilege of rolling him in the snow.
'I hat won't hurt him. Now everybody
take courage and come around brlgbl
and early tomorrow morning."
Then came the conference and the
determination to wreck a joint Immedi
ately. Surrounded by half a dozen
women, all armed with hatchets, Mrs,
Nation led the way down Kansas i.- -line.
She was followed by thousands
t.f people, who tramped behind and he
fore her in the deep snow. shouting
like a mob, Mrs. N: in bad no
hatchet, She stopped in ,, store and
bought one. The procession went on
until the Unique restaurant, lit; Bast
Sixth street, was reached, a few min
utes before o'clock. Then the wo
men, bended by Mrs. Nation, made n
rush for tu. dm r. She had warned the
proprietors 11. at she would raid the
place if they did not stop selling
liquor, and lb ij were prepared fur her
attack. 'I'lu hatchet was jerked from
her hand bj a stout man and the wo
men were forci d hack.
A tierce tight followed between the
restaurant m. n and Mrs. Nation's de
fenders. For a quarter of an hour th y
Struggled in the street, while the moil
yelled encouragingly to Mrs. Nation.
Many personal encounters took place,
hut the police seemed without power to
Stop it finally in despair they nr
restnl Mrs. Nation and took her to jail.
At the police station Mis. Nation
was formal!) charged with disturbing
the peace, and her name w;us entered
on the docket. The police judge was
at the station. Mrs. Nation refused
ii po to his room to see him regard
ing her offense, hut Insisted that he
come to her. which he did. Mis. N.i
tion was Informed that she would have
to report for trial at the police court
today and was then released on her
own recognizance. she said she
would he giad to do so. and then pro
ceeded to hold an Impromptu prayer
meeting in the police station. While
Bhe was praying a drunken man was
brought in by a policeman. Mrs. Na
tion then delivered a scathing address
to members of the police force present.
Followed by the crowd, Mrs. Nation
went to tin federal building, where
pile mounted the steps and made an ad
dress to the crowd. She said she would

Harrlsburg, Feb. 5. The first victory
In the attempt to repeal the existing
lihel law of the state and enact a more
stringent law occurred in the senate
on Wednesday last, when Senator
Grady's repeal hill was passed hy a
vote of 26 to 15. There is considerable
opposition to the new measure in the
house, and the ultimate result Is as yet
problematical.
That Pennsylvania will be fittingly
represented at the Pan-American ex
position in Buffalo was definitely de
termined last week, when a concurrent
resolution, presented hy Senator Cum
lugs, of Warren, went through both
houses. The resolution authorizes the
appointment of a commission to he
known as the Keystone state commis
sion of the Pan-American exposition,
Mini making an appropriation of
lii 'U to cover the expenses of the com-
uiisslon and for the erection of u suit
able state building,
Among the bills that passed second
reading in the senate last Tuesday
was Senator Fox's hill appropri
ating 16,000.000 and creating a com
mission for the completion of the state
capitol building in 1905.
Mr.'FHnn, of Allegheny. Introduced
in the senate Tuesday his hill providing
for a uniform primary election law.
The measure provides that two pri
mary elections tie held throughout th"
State each year for all officers, includ
ing state officers, congressmen and
congressmen-nt-large, the first on the
second Tuesday in January and the
second on the Becond Tuesday in .tune.
'I he ' ! itlons shall he held at the regU-
lar lolling places from 7 a. m. to 7
p. m., and the regular election offlcerB
of the district shall conduct the Bame.
All persons wishing to he candidates
fi r s!;.i. offli es at the primary elections
must tile with the secretary of state "u
rlays prior to the primary election a
petition signed hy at least '.' per cent
of the total vote in th election dis
trict of the party he is affiliated with.
Candidates tor county offices can tile
the petition wiih the county commis
sioners. Sen; tor Vnllghan, of Lackawanna.
Introduced a joint resolution Tues
day proposing the following as an
Rmendmcnl to the constitution' "No
i.i of the general assembl; . after ten
yen s from date of its passage, shall
lie held unconstitutional hy reason of
any defect or Insufficiency In the title,
or on the ground that It is a local or
social law relating to any of the sub
jects prohibited hy the constitution."
The senate hill authorizing the Penn
sylvania Railroad company to increase
its capitalization to $1UU.OOO,000 passed
second reading In the house on Tues
day, and was passed finally on Thurs
day hy a vote of 171 to 14.
In the house last Tuesday Mr. Ford,
of Allegheny, introduced a substitute
for the present compulsory education
nets. The hill is sweeping in its char
acter, and repeals all inconsistent
therewith. A hill Introduced hy Mr.
Palm, of Crawford, provides that al!
executions shall hereafter take place
in penitentiaries. Mr Willard. of
Philadelphia, introduced a hill pro
hibiting the embalming and preparing
for burial or cremation of dead human
hodies without previous notice to Hie
coroner except where a denth certifi
cate has been given i y a physician,
mid regulating the Issue of Such cer
tificates. In the house Thursday the Philadel
phia new court hill reached second
reading. The bill was amended to pro
vide for Democratic minority repre
sentation In tie court, and thus amend
ed it passed second reading.
Governor Stone yesterday approved
these concurrent resolutions passed hy
the legislature: Requesting the Penn
sylvania congressmen to urge the
passage of hill and establishing- and
maintaining schools of mines; request
ing Pennsylvania's representatives in
congress to urge the passage of the
Grout hill relating to the sale of oleo
margarine: providing for the appoint
ment of a commission to represent the
state al the Pan-American exposition
at Buffalo; presenting the desks and
chairs of certain deceased members of
the senate and house to their families.
Last night the governor sent to the
senate the nominations of the follow
ing persons to be members of the board
to examine applicants for mine Inspec
tors of the bituminous coal regions, to
serve for the term of four years from
March i. 1901; John Heed, Reynolds

11. Jonas, South Fork; George Whyel,
Untontown; Thomas Fisher, Philadel
phia. The rules commltteee of the house,
through Mr. Bliss, of Delaware, report
ed new rules governing admission of
persons to the floor of that body at last
night's session, which were adopted.
One rule provides that the newspaper
gallery shall he for the exclusive use of
newspaper correspondents, and that ad
mission to such gallery shall be by a
non-transferable curd Issued by the
speaker and signed hy the president of
the Correspondents' association. An
other rule provides that "none but

partments, judges of the courts of this
commonwealth, former members of the

and no person not a member of the i
legislature shall be permitted to come

rule and give notice to the speaker of
nv violations of the same."
