were turbulent scenes afterward. bat
none as turbulent as the one that had
been quelled This was ON January 81.
On May IL the mace was again
brought into play. Il was on the day
that Mr.. Bynnm was censured by the
House. Tho excitement arose while tho
House was in oomEaitsSe of the whole
upon the Mckinley bin. General Grosve-
nor, II Ohio, was In the chair. There
was bitter personal colloquy between
Mr. Bynum and General Bayne, of
Pennsylvania. concerning the character
OF one Campbell. a glass manufactures
OF Pittsburgh. The confusion was ter
rible. Three-quarters of the men,
bers wers upon their feet applanding
and shouting. The tumult reached its
height when Bynum denounced Mr..
Campbell as u liar and perjurer. and
said that he had as great confidence in
his character as he had in the character
% General Bayne. General Cutcheon
demanded chat the words be taken down,
and tho confusion became so great
that the House looked like a mob around
an election board. Fists were clenchcd
and every thing indicated a free fight.
Again Deputy Sergeant-at-ArIns Tom
Cavanagh appeared with the mace. The
disputants were boiling over with
ragc, but they dropped into their seats
and the House became so still that the
whispers In the galleries could be heard.

who refused.to go TO their seats when
ordered 70 do so by the Speaker. Mr..
Reed, instead Of ordering ont the mace,
ccnsured Bynum wherc he stood. The
mace had done work enough for one
day.
On juno e5, while the force bill was
under discussion, sharp personalities
were exchanged between Joseph g.
Cannon and John Fl. O'Neall of In
diana. O'Nenll alluded TO alleged pur.
chasing of votes in Cannon's district,
and Joseph G. was on Ere in an instant.
He had the floor, and was therefore
able 10 shut off O'Neall from replying.
The hub-bub was universal. The Dem
ocrats shouted for fair play, and the
Republicans chccred Cannon and cried
for the regular order. O'Neall was
stung to the quick. He insisted upon
being heard, and did not give way until
the mace was borue up tho side aisle
where he stood. The brewing storm
died away and ONea1 subsidized.

A Reported Attempt to Pinch the Street
Railway Companies. VI.
A telegram from Harrisburg yesterday
stated that discussion regarding the Illegal
ity of the leasing and buying of street rail-
ways by traction and motor companies is
being revived. Such deals are direct vio-
lation of an old statute on the subject. The
telegram states that someone discovered
the existence of the law about q year
ago, and a bill was introduced into
the Legislature annulling the Jaws on the
subject of street railway leasing and consol-
idation and making valid all previous opera
tions- of the kind. The bin passed both
son.
1t is further stated that the annual reports
now being filed with the Secretary of Inter
nal Affairs show that this law has been con-
stantly violated, since the bill legalizing
such operations was vetoed, and that there
is q probability of litigation being opened up.
The local street railway officials do not at
tach much importance to the matter, saying
that a way had always been found and al
ways would be whereby roads could be
merged, leased, bought and sold, and that
no test case had ever been decided against
them. .--.
Secretary Neeper of the Pittsburg ALLIE
gheny and Manchester Traction Company,
said Yesterday he did not think the matter
would be revived, as it had already received
quietus at the hands of Judge Ewing when
the minority stockholders of the Pittsburg,
Allegheny and Manchester Passenger
Railway Company had fled a bill in equity
to restrain the Pittsburg, Allegheny and
Manchester Traction Company from leasing
the lines of the Union Line Passenger Rail
way. The court dismissed the bill after
hearing the arguments.

years has guided the destinies of the Man.

gram last night andtsaid that he did not be-
lieve the old ground would be gone over
again. He didn't think there was much in it.

THE FIRE RECORD.

AT Nineveh Wednesday evening the new
dwelling of Meade Duncan, not yet occu-
pied, burned down. Loss, $1,s0O no insur-
ance. Laid to fire bugs.
NEAR Stockton, Utah, Wednesday night
the shaft house, hoisting works, machinery
and timbers in the shaft of a mine burned.
Loss $4,000 to $4,000. No lives were lost, the
miners who were in the shaft escaping by
another outlet. The property is owned by
Niedringhaus, of st. Louis.
AT Fort Shaw, near Great Falls, Mont,
Wednesday evening, fire broke 'out in the
kitchen of the residence of J. w. Mcknight,
post trader. The restaurant, two ware
houses, post Office and store buildings were
burned. Loss, 600. The fro is supposed
to have been started by children playing in
the kitchen. 't-
ArDuquesne at an early hour yesterday
morning fire was discovered in the Central
Hotel, which only few days ago was set on
fire by some unknown person. This time
the fire originated from defective f1ue and
was da mayed to the extent of about 81 200.
The bull ding is owned by Miss Zella Bovard,
and the hotel was managed by Harry
Cappan. :
Al Erie Beach, Ont, opposite Buffalo, early
yesterday morning disastrous fire oc-
Cured, which started in the Erie Beach Ho-
tel. The wind was strong and flames soon
wrapped the entire building and spread to
Joseph Ellis cottage in the rear. In half
an hour both places were destroyed. Total
loss estimated at $4,000; no insurance. Or
igin unknown.
AT Charleston, W. Va, yesterday the ex-
tensive planning mills and lumber yards of
Morgan & Co. were destroyed Four resi-
dcnces near the lumber yards were also con-
sumed. The fire waged so furiously that 1t
was feared that entire part of the city
would go. Total loss placed at between
$25, 900 and $50 ooO There was but $4,000 in
surance on the mill and stock, and scarcely
an insurance on the four houses. The mills
will likely be rebuilt Mt once.

FARMER ERHATCH'SGAME
He Is Quietly Playing the Granger
Movement for Speaker,
WHILE HOLDING TO DEMOCRACY.
Crisp and Mills May Yet Find Formidable
Competitor in Him.
A SOUTHERN TOUR FOR ALLIANCE VOTES
rrRoM A STAFF CORRESPONDENT ]

WASHINGTON, Sept. ST anybody
counts Farmer Hatch, of Missouri, out of
the race. for the Speakership, that some
body is making great mistake. Amid all
the talk of the "sure thing for Crisp" and
the sleek combinations being made by Mills
with New York for the chief clerkship,
some other State for Doorkeeper, and SO on
through the leading positions in the House,
Farmer Hatch proceeds to play card that
may prove to be stronger than all
While not uniting with the Alliance, and
still entertaining good Democratic prin-
ciples, Mr.. Hatch is playing the farmer
movement for all it is worth, and there are
good prospects that he will be able to o'hold
the balance of power and finally compel his
own election. He is popular with every
person who has been in Congress with him,
regardless of party, and many Democrat
would rather vote for him on personal
grounds than for any of the other candi-
dates. He will have the vote of Missouri,
part of Kansas, and scattering votes from
sound Democrats everywhere.
He will have all of the Alliance men,
bers, unless it is concluded best to bring out
genuine Alliance candidate, which is not
probable, In such a case he will also have
all the Democratic members elected by CON-
bination with the Alliance, and all amep-
able to its influence, and that is not a few.
Mr.. Hatch has just passed through this
city on his way to. speak to the farmers of
West Virginia in several places, and after
that will go through other Southern States,'
capturing the Alliance fellers" wherever
he goes. Without doubt Mr.. Hatch would
make the best all-round Speaker to be found
among the Democratic timber He is as
calm and judicial as Crisp. and is much
better parliamentarian than any of the
other candidates. Both Speaker Carlisle
and Speaker Reed called him to the chair
frequently, and during the most refractory
and rebellious moods of the House, his calm
and dignifed demeanor and unfailing fair
ness always besot him the respect of men,
bers, while Mills, Mcmillan and Springer
were invariably guved.
Moreover, MIR. Hatch is a real farmer,
though he practices law, and his intercourse
with his acquaintance has the air of q COM
educated farmer, confident of him.
self, and placing sense and knowledge above
fine clothes and society etiquette, though
always thoroughly at ease in any circle.
