| Washington, Oct. 14.-ln the senate
this morning no less than three notices
of resolutions to amend the rules were
given, and Mr.. Hill, democrat, of New
York, advocated Il change of rule OF
which he had heretofore given notice
as to the counting as present senators
who are present and are paired.
The first half of today's session was
occupied by Mr.. Morgan, of Alabama,
in a personal explanation defending
himself from charge of ignorance of
scripture, made by Il New York paper,
and from structures by the Montgomery
Advertiser for opposition to the I'M
conditional repeal of the Sherman act.
He denied that he has intimated his
intention to vote against the ''uncOn-
ditionaf' repeal of the act, but he would
vote against its conditional repeal as
proposed in the Voorhees, substitute
which was Il more injurious and cow
ardly makeShift than the original one
The tangle resulting in adjournment of
the senate last night was the result
of Il cleverly devised scheme, the work
of Dubois and Teller.
They discovered that while quorum
was present for all purposes where
pairs could be disTegarded, there was
not quorum on points demanding the
observation of pairs.
Teller also discovered that the rules
provided that a public, document which
had once been read could not again be
read except by unanimous consent
PETER was speaking at the time and
soon fiShed up 4 public document. Tel
Ter raised point CT order against the
reading. The chairman decided the
point and an appeal was taken. This
was what the silver men were looking
for, and a roll cal ordered showed no
quorum present.
Then the repeal men stepped into an
other trap. Villas tried to force Dubois
to vote. After some debate an effort
was made to take Il vote that the
senate should not excuse Dubois from
voting, resulting in another lack of a
quorum, and the senate was forced to
adjourn.
LIE peuuluS question Is III effort 10
make Dubois vote, and it is Villas in
tention to have Dubois censured. This
it is stated will bring out Il nice con
stitutional question and develop a de-
bate which the silver II en- claim will
last a month at least.
Considering the late hour Of the ad-
jourEment there was liberal attend
ance at the opening of the senate this
morning.
The silver purchase repeal bill was
taken up at 12:45 and the president
set about disentangling the parliament
airy twist into which the 2nl,e got it
self last night. By a vote of % to 81
the senate refused to excuse Dubois
The name of the Idaho senator was
then called. Dubois remained in his
seat silent.
There was Il roll call because at a
like stage Of proceedings last night no
quorum voted and no less than - re-
spOnded, being % more than Il qurum
and by far the largest number that
has appeared during the session.

Causes Him to Quit 1t.

president of the Irish National League
of America, today in an interview ad-
mitted that he had resigned as presi-

Mr.. Cannon thinks the league is not
working on right lines. He says the
platform does not permit of support
being given to either faction of the
Irish party across the water, and en-
thusiasm could not be aroused under
such conditions. If the league does not
right itself it must go out of existence.
A convention to take action in the mat
ter may be held soon.

Near lola.

man charged with the Halsted, Mimi
bank robbery was captured late last
night about five miles from lola, Wis
His name is Tom Toback
The detectives started on the trail of

trcked them step by step to lola. The
bullet taken from ThOmpson's leg by

blunted by contact with the glass it
was fired through.
The alleged robbers are carefully
guarded in Waupaca county jail Sen

THE SWIFTEsT CRUISER.
1t Is Owned by Japan and Is Named
the Yoshino.

IA0 L OSnlIlO.
Japan Mail.
The steam trial of the Japanese
cruiser Yoshino, which has been
constructed by the firm of Sir w.
G.. Armstrong, Mitchell & Co., linn
tied, from designs by their naval
architect, Phillip Watts, have been
held under the superintendence of
commission of japanese officials,
including Captain Kawara, Mr.. va
maxi, Mr.. MatsuO and Lieutenant
X ITO.
The vessel is generally similar
in design to the Ninth de Julio,
which was built by the
same firm for the Argentine
Rebublic. The YOshinO has,
however, attained a greater
speed, and it is at the present time
the fastest cruiser afloat. She is
$50 feet long and 49, feet broad,
and has displacement of about
1000. Her armament consists of
four 6-inch quick firing guns, eight
Al inch'quick firing guns, twenty
two 3-pound quick firing guns and
five torpedo tubes.
Lord RavenswOrth, in his adj
dress at the London meeting Of the
Institution of Naval Architects,
drew attention to this vessel,
and stated that the firm cOntem-
plated attaining a speed of TWEEN
ty-three knots. This was fully
realized in the trials, when the
speed attained as the means of
four runs on the measured mile,
with and against the tide, in ac-
cOrdance with the practice of the
British navy, was 23,O3l knots.
The program also consisted of
a series of progressive trials,
to establish curve of speed
for the ship, the infOratiOn thus OBJ
tanned being required for further
trials which, have yet to be made,
including a six hours trial with
natural draught, when a speed of
twenty. one knots is contemplated.

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 81, 1913.

Louisiana Democrats threaten
to kick over the traces if the tariff
schedule takes off the present
bounty on sugar. The Alabama
Democrats are not going to sit SUI
pinely by while the Democrats in
Congress are monkeying with their
iron industries, and serve notice
that they are not going to support
any measure that provides for the
free importation of iron ore. The
wine growers of the Pacific and
salt producers of the north
west are in the same
boat. All along the lines
the notes of warning are sound
ed, even the wool growers of Texas
demanding the protection of their
staple. All these sounds and signs
come as danger signals to the Ways
and Means committee, giving warn
ing of what is in store for it when
it brings its schedule into congress
and asks its adoption. All these
discords in the Democratic camp
are music in the ears of Republican
prOtectiOnists, proclaiming the day
of deliverance from the perils of
free trade legislation.
