The Democrats made earnest resistance
against proceeding further, and Mcmillan
insisted that the point was that 40 quo

nor any man could assume that The men
counted were in the house while the vote
was being taken. The speaker replied
that he had announced at the time thai
there were l72 members present by

who was not present at the time the
vote was taken; ii the members did not
desire to vote the presumption vas they

A Temnerance Snlit.

SIOUX FALLS, n. d., Feb 1S.-The
Prohibtionists OF this state have become
involved in quarrel among themselves
over q proposed amendment TO the prohi-
bltion bill now pending in tha state legis
lature. The amendment proposes for the
use of liquor in private families, and NaS
introduced by Speaker Young at the in
stance of President Fielder II + State
Enforcement league. il IL .,su5per OF
Prohibitionists favor the amendment,
claiming that without this provision the
law would unreasonably invade private
rights. The more fiery element of the
Prohibtionist ranks Indignantly denounce
the proposition as one that will forfeit the
most important feature OF the prohibition
measure, and therefore have characterized
the action of the speaker and Rev. Fielder
as treacherous to the cause OF prohibition.
the amendment has already passed one
house, and, pending the agitation, the
consideration of the bill has been sus-
pended. The result is watched with great
interest on all sides, for, whatever it " i'll
be, it will probably cause a split in the
prohibition camp.

CONGRESSIONAL.

HOUSE.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1S.-In the house
yesterday, after reading the journal, Car
isle rose and said that since the 29th of
January his side of the house had been
protesting every morning against the ap-
proval of the journal Oh the ground that
it contained an entry made by direction
of the speaker, showing the names of GER
tain members present and not voting.
Last Friday the house adopted code OF
rules providing for such practice. Against
this the Democrats had protested and
would protest, as unconstitutional, but it
was a question which could not be de-
cided in this house, and whenever the
proper cases arose it would 20 to some
other forum. 1t was the purpose of his
side to see that this occasion should be
made in such shape as would permit it
to be finally and decisively passed upon,
therefore he now saw no reason why the
journal, the form OF which the house had
Il right to prescribe, should not be sp-
proved. This was done.
When the resolution from the world :
fair committee was presented a second
demand of the motion for its passage was
made. Tellers were appointed and re-
ported the result of which was yeas, ia
nays, 8. A point of no quorum was made
and the speaker ran his eye rapidly ovel
the house. In a few moments he said
There are l72 members present; more
than quorum"
McMillin, OF Ten NJ ssee, protested tha
the rules prescribed tt llers as a means O
"a ri a n thn nf a ,
1t was not proper for the chair to count
The speaker inquired what rule required
the tellers to determine the presence of
quorum. Mcmillan quoted from the rut
touching motions to suspend the rule
which requires that a motion submitted t.
the house shall be seconded by majority
and by tellers, if demanded. The speake
responded that majority had seconde'
by vote of ia to 8, and the debate oI
the motion was now in order.

THE PUBLIC WALKED.
Electric Cars Failed to Run When
Needed.

The travelling public, OF at least that
portion of it that uses the street cars,
was somewhat angry last night. The
trouble was not with the cars, but be-
cause they wouldn't go. At 5:45 every
electric car on the Washington and
First avenue car lines stopped short,
and it seemed as if they would never
start again. They did start, but it was
not until about o'clock, and in
the meantime the passengers had
trudged homeward through the mud.
The cause of the delay was an over
heated journal, which compelled the
shutting down of the engine at the
power station. The engine had been
running smoothly all day. and the heat
ing OF the journal at the time of the
heaviest throng appeared very mystic
rious, so much SO that it was reported
that discharged employe had put -four
of emery in the oil in order to get even
with the company. Manager c. G..
Goodrich declined to say anything
about the rumor. If the engine was
dOped, the miscreant certainly took a
very Opportune time to play even, as
the stoppage of the lines took place at a
time when every car was crowded.
