PREPARING THE NEW RULE
speaker Crisp Think. 1t VIII Be Ready by
Monday.

WASHINGTON, April 14.-After q con-
ference lasting three hours to-day
Speaker Crisp and his Democratic asso-
ciateS on the Committee on Rules, Rep
resentatives Catchings and Outhwaite,
did not complete the new quorum count
ing rule directed by the Democratic
csucus. Mr.. Crisp said at the conclu-
sion OF the conference: I'VE have been
going over the many plans proposed
from time 80 time, but have not as yet
reached 3 conclusion. The greatest
care is being exercised to so frame the
rule that a quorum can be counted from
members actually present, but not from
members absent. The rule must be
plain and clean 80 that no doubt and
confusion can arise. From the progress
Ma have made, it is likely that
a satisfactory rule will be formu-
lated very soon and perhaps by Mon
day"
Among ihe plans submitted to the
Democratic members Of the committee
to-day was one by Representative Berry,
OF Kentucky. The essential feature Of
this plan, is that IL proposes TO hne ao-
sentees days pay instead OF SO, as
heretofore proposed and thus overcome
the objections made against adopting
police court methods.

THE ooM1NG MINERS STRIKE.
Pennsylvania Delegates Think 500, 600
Men VIII Go Out

P1rrsBURG, PA, April 1.-THE Penn
svlvania delegates to the National Conven-
ton Of United Mine Workers, which has
lust closed, were in the city today en-
route TO their homes. +. A. Brennan, Of
the Executive Board, speaking Of the pro-
posed strike, said:
y should Judge close onto 100000 miners
will 90 out on q strike. The convention
was the largest in point Of the number OF
delegates ever held. Every district sent
more delegates than ever before, some
representatives being from Colorado and
Dakota. Several States were not repre-
sented, but after our strike was decided
upon we received kilograms from the
miners, in them saying they would be
with US. There is the greatest confidence
among the men over the result. Ihey feel
that strike of any duration will cause
such an advance in the price OF coal that
the operators will see thst it is TO their ad-
vantage 10 pay the price"

GRANIsvudE, MD, April 14.-The mem
bers of the little Army of Commonweal,
which is slowly SHUT surely moving on to
Washington, PASSED fairly comfortable
night, considering it from their stand
point. The trip OF the past three days has
been a wonderful test of physical endur-
ance Of man and beast. While the men
have borne up bravely, even attempt
ing to keep up their spirits with
song and jest, while wadlng
in snow and mud with the storm
penetrating their rags with ease, the
horses have been the greatest sufferers.
From the start two horses have been at
tached 10 the commissary, band and sup
ply wagons. The long march had told on
the animals before Uniontown was reach
ed, but when the climbing Of the noun
tains had begun, the poor creatures were
hardly able to struggle along. IL was
thought at one time Thursday that the
wagons could not be brought 10 this town.
The panorama wagon horse gave
completely out and was removed,
and the Texan pony Princess, used oy
Oklahoma Sam was harnessed up. Al!
Thursday the army struggled along for
over two miles on the national pike. Each
of the five columns Is placed in the rear OF
q wagon. Thus as the march progressed
the horses dropped further and further 70
the rear, scattering the forces TO an unysu-
al degree. The men are in good spirits to-
day, but they have experienced the dis
comforts of mountain travel and they rath-
er dread the tramp OF fourteen miles 10

COLUMBIA, s. c., May 9.-The state
supreme court has just decided that
prohibition is in force in this state.
The decision came about on two cases
from Florence, one an injunction, ask
ing that the city council of Florence be
restrained from issuing licenses for the
sale Of whisky, and the other, habeas
corpus proceeding for the release of J.
Ellis Brunson. who has been arrested
in the same city for selling whisky,
and who was alleged to be in custody.
The object Of the proceedings was to
determine what was the status of
affairs in this state and to knock out
the d~is0ensarY law Of 1893.
