DEMOCRATS LOCKED IN.
How Rhode Island Republicans Put a
Stop to Filihustering.
A "GAG'' LAW WHICH SEEMS TO
BE A GREAT SUCCESS.

y
Means Possible Against Two Bills Re-
lating to EIections-Republican Pa
tience Was Finally Exhausted and
the Filibustering stopped by the Ap-
plication of Novel Rule.
PROVIDENCE, April 27.-The session
Of the House of Representatives lasted
over four hours today, during which
time the livliest kind of battle ragged.
The Republicans have had for some time
on the files of the judiciary committee
several pet measures which they have
been trying to pass. 1t became evident
that the filibustering methods of their
political opponents would seriously ham
per action unless arbitrary methods
were resorted to. The Republicans put
in operation rule of the House require
ing members in attendance not to leave
the chamber during the session. The
sheriffs deputies locked the doors of
the chamber and the ''gag'' rule was put
into operation. The minority found
themselves helpless and exhausted ev-
cry expedient in their power to no
avail. The Republicans succeeded in
passing the two measures they desired.
One relates to the calling of second cleo
tions in towns not divided into voting dis
tricts and provides that such elections
shall not be held less than three DAYS or
more that seven after the first meeting.
The other provide for filing naturaliza-
ton papers with town or city clerks.

One way to stop Smuggling.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 21.-Hitherto the
importation of opium into Hawaii has
been prohibited and as much as $40 a
pound has been paid fer the smuggled
article. Now every pound of the stuff
that enters Honolulu will call for duty
of $50 a pound. The trade will be in
the hands of one firm and the govern
ment will put the privilege up at auc-
tion. This privilege is fixed at SIS, 900
for one year and whoever bids the
most above that sum will get the fran
chise. By this the government hopes
to stop smuggling. The result will
probably be that the smugglers will
purchase the franchise.

The City Clerk Gets Indignant but
no Blood Flowed.
AS the clock on the dome OF the city
hall struck the hour of noon IL indi-
Gated the time when determined
city council had assem- Oled TO act on
an important subject and deeply
interested and large audience was
present TO witness the deliberations.
the meeting was called 10 order by
Alderman Beckmsn, who called on
mayor pro tempore Guerguin TO pre-
side in the absence OF Mayor Lock-
wood who is at A ustin to invoke the

pore Guerguin, Aldermen Anderson,
Becknann, Boelhawe, Dougherty,
Hick m ann, Hoefllng and Muth. All
sent conner. PERCH and Weber.
The mayor said the object OF the
meeting was for the purpose of revis-
ing ways and means to secure q fair
aud legal election for electipg city
officers on Monday, Feb. l3. He said
that he and four other members of
the council had asked the mayor to
call special session, and that the
mayor had said he would give them
an answer by 8 O'Clock this morning
but that the mayor had assumed the
role. OF Caesar and. instead of giving
an answer had absented himself.
The city attorney, Hon. Oscar Berg
strom, then read q supplemental
opinion in which he held that the
city council had the right to provide
for the holding of fair election and
to protect the purity of the ballot and
that the action of the council in so
doing would In no wise conflict with
the state law.
Alderman Beckmann moved for the
appointment of F. r. Kirchner
as q judge of election in the Eighth
ward instead of A. F. Wulff,
who Is ill and unable to act and that
DIR. LiDdner be appointed clerk of
election in the Seventh ward to fill
the place OF Kirchner, chosen from
the Seventh ward by mistake as he
lives in the Eighth.
Alderman Hickman presented the
certificates Of the judges and clerks OF
election and moved that the seal OF
the city be placed on them by the
clerk. The motion was adopted by
unanimous vote.
A recess until o'clock, to give the
city clerk time to seal and issue the
certificates, was proposed and several
motions being presented recess OF
half an hour was taken.
AT or the re ;ess during which the
CLERK mad sealed and issued, the cers
1ificates OF election officers the coun-
Gil recOnvened and Alderman Hick-
man moved that ballot in accordance
with the form adopted by the council
be adopted.
A form had been printed not In
accordance with that form so Alder
man Beckmsn then moved to adopt a
form of ballot giving the names OF all
candidates for office who are in the
race and the titles of the offices for
which they are running. This Is the
form that had already been printed
by the order of the mayor and a re-
consideration of the vote on the form
adopted at the last meeting was also
passed
Alderman Beckman moved that
one half of the ballots be plsc d in
the custody OF Mayor Lockwood and
one. half in the custody Of Mayor pro
TEN. Guergnin for distribution among
the election officers. The council
then adjourned.
