WASHBURN'S BILL MEETS WITH
AN OBSTACLE.
A Motion to Refer the Bill to the
Agricultural Committee Pre-
walls, and This Is Con-
sidered an Anti-Op-
ton Victory.
The House Dallies With 1t.

the house Oalll0S WIFI It,
Washington, Feb, 4.-The friends of
the anti-option bill obtained a victory
in the house to-day. When the speaker
laid before the house the bill with the
senate amendments thereto he delivered
his decision on the point of order that
the amendments must first be considered
in committee of the whole. He staed
that the bill was laid before the house
for reference only, unless it be a house
bill with senate amendments, which did
not require consideration in the COM
mittee of the whole. The question was
one of fact as to whether the senate
amendments to this bill required such
consideration. In the senate amend
ments the article of ''four" was men,
toned. This was q new and distinct
subject matter of taxation; and it seemed
to the chair that this amendment at least
must have it's first consideration in COM
mittee of the whole. This bill was before
the house for reference to a standing
or q select committee, and not for pres
ent consideration. The judgment of the
chair was that the bill should be re-
ferred to a standing or select committee.
He therefore sustained the point of
order against Mr.. Hatch's motion to
n%on-concur in the senate amendments
and to agree to q conference.
Nh. Hatch did not appeal, but moved
to refer the bill to the committee on
agriculture, and on that motion demand
ed the revious question. Mr.. Boatner
made q point of order that the bill did
not belong to the committee on agri-
culture, but to the committee on ways
and means. The speaker suggested that
it was in the power of the house to refer
the bill to whatever committee it wished.
Mr.. Kilgore made the further point that
the bill, having been originally reported
by the committee IN agriculture, that was
it's natural reference now and the chair
had not the right to entertain a motion
to refer it to that committee. IF a mo-
ton to refer was made, it should be
made for reference to some other oom-
mittee. The speaker overruled the points
of order and held Mr.. Hatch's motion
to be a proper one. The question was
then on Mr.. Hatch's demand for the
previous question. On a division the vote
stood ITO to 65, and Mr.. Cummings de-
manded the yeas and nays, which were
ordered. The previous question was or
dered-yeas Isl, nays 48, and the bill
was referred to the committee on agri-
culture without division.

Sr. PAUL (NIinn.), March 2O.-The coal
combine fight grows warmer. This
morning Judge Egan of the Circuit Court
ordered the detention of the Sergeant-at-
Arms of the House, and had Representa-
tive Walsh before him, and demanded
possession of the letter-bools of the coal
combine.
Walsh refused to acknowledge the au-
thority of the court, as far as giving up
the book is concerned, nor would he tell
where the book could berfound.
Meantime the Senate is considering the
House joint resolution instructing tho In
vestigation Committee to retain the let
ter book.
Senator Donnelly made another scorch-
ing speech, denouncing not only the coal
combine, bat fiercely excoriating Judge
Egau, whose personal character as well
as his official acts, were condemned. The
resolution was finally adopted-34 to 3.
There was even warmer debate in the
House, ard threats OF the impeachment
of Judge Egan for OBTAINING an officer
and member of the Legislature were
freely expressed.
Finally call of the House was or

well-known farmers of Perrion, Craw-

these savages hung him from the limb of
a tree.
1t was soon proved that Davidson had
no knowlede of the alleged outrage of the
girl, but the secrets of the band were so
well kept that no direct evidence against
them could be presented in court. One
of the leaders of the gang, named Otto
Postenberg was convicted upon another
charge at the last term of Court at Can
Melton, and sentenced to a long term in
the penitentiary, and another turned

ment of these eleven members of the

for stormy weather for some time to
come. Farming in and through the
county is materially impeded, especially
in districts where plowing has not yet
begun. The fruit trees are in blossom
and large crop is looked for. The rain
fall for the storm is 2.26 inches.
ACAMPo, March 20.-Rain has fallen
steadily since 8 o'clock last night, and
l.l5 inches is registered up to date, which
makes total of is! inches for the season.
STOCKTON, March 20. - The recent
warm rains in the mountains sent down
great volume of water, and the streams
In this section are running over their
banks, but so far no damage of any con-
sequence has been reported, except in the
filling up of low lots which were covered
by water during the last rise. The indi-
cations are that the water will be very
high tomorrow, as reports from points
east OF this city show a larger freshet
than occurred during the winter. Tho
Oakdale train, which left here at 4:30 this
afernoon, returned tonight, having run
only twelve miles out. At that point the
water was running over the track to
depth of three feet. Conductor Barts and
several train hands got on q velocipede
car and ran ahead in the water to see if it
was safe to proceed with the train, but
the water rose so fast that it washed out
the tracks and they had to abandon their
hand-car and wade back 20 the train.
High water will probably get in here
in the morning and overflow the low
points. but no flood is expected in the
business part of the town-at this hour,
IL O'Clock, the streams are foot lower
than the high water mark of the winter.
MERGED, March 20.-Rain has poured
down in continual stream nearly
twenty-four hours, and at o'clock this
evening Deer Creek overflowed. The
creek IS half mile from the heart of the
city, and the water gradually approached
the residence part of the town. At 10
O'Clock the entire eastern portion of the
city was under warter from six inches to
three feet, and all the cellars were full.
Some houses are surrounded with water
so deep that the occupants cannot get out
except in boats. No serious damage TO
stock or other property has yet been re-
ported. After the Deer Creek Ievees had
broken in several places force,of 300 men
were set to work repairing by filling in
with sacks. The water continued to
raise, and in a few shours the work of
repairing was given up. At 1920 the
water was still rushing into the town and
rapidly rising.
