MORLEY THE WINNER.

Rattling Contest for the HOnors in the
Great American Pigeon Shoot.
DEXTER PARK. L. l., April 6.-When the
marksmen in the great American handicap
pigeon shoot left off last night owingto dark
ness there were eleven men with full scores,
having killed twelve birds each, but as the
contest progressed to-day their numbers were
diminished.
The birds were very trying at first, the
wind was anything but in their favor. and
drivers and right quarterers were the rule.
Many of those who thought they had a cinch
were disappointed by some of the birds, which
flew to the right so swiftly that they made
only "tail bird" hits, and consequently
loser.
As anticipated by the Associated Press,
Capt. Money and I. W. Morley made dead
heat, each killing every bird that flew from
the traps presented to them. The wind fresh
ened considerably during the afternoon, and
a more lively set of birds were sprung from
the traps
From the eighteenth round every person
present thought it was foregone conclusion
that one of the two would win, as they had a
clean score. They did not disappoint their
admirers as at the end of the twenty-fifth
round they tied, with a score of twenty-five
killed. Nobody felt disgruntled and each
cpHteStant Warmly SHOOK tne tieu cOnlesttHlS
by the hands. They then made an arrange
ment to shoot off ten birds each at the same
distance, which was allowed by the handicap,
with the result that Morley missed his first
and second birds, which were right-quarters
and drivers, but he ''grassed" his next eight.
In return, the veteran Money killed the same
amount out of the ten, missing twisting
driver (Which was corker) and towerer.
After this the two gentlemen agreed to
match with the conditions miss and out"
Morley won this by using his second barrel
on the first and one barrel on the second
bird. while the veteran hit his first. a right
quarterer, with the second barrel. but missed
a difficult driver on his next shot, thus losing
the first prize of the big match.
The shoot-off for third place was contested
by Messrs. Simpson, Fulford Kleinz. Jones,
Moore. Walters, and J. L. Smith, with the re-
suit that Simpson. Fulford, and Moore had to
shoot off. Fulford withdrew, and Moore got
the third honors

Representative Springer Has Plan to
Count in Those Not Voting.
Many plans have been suggested to secure
n quorum of the House when a minority of
members oppose any particular measure. Mr..
Springer, of Illinois, has prepared rule
which he intends to offer at the first oppor-
tunity and endeavor to secure favorable
action upon it,
1t is rs follows: Whenever ON yea and nay
vote upon any question the record shows that
no quorum has voted, the clerk shall again
call the names of those not voting. When
the name of any member who is present is
called the Speaker shall state the question to
him and ask him how he desires to vote. II
he refuses to vote his name shall be entered
on the Jonrnal as present and not voting"
In determining the result of the vote those
present and not voting shall be counted with
those voting in the negative. II those voting
and those present and not voting shall be a
majority of the whole House. a quorum shall
be deemed as constituted. and the question
shall be decided by the record as thus as
certained.
III those voting and those present not voting
shall not constitute a quorum the Speaker
shall Immediately issue his warrant to the
Sergeant-at-arms for the arrest of all members
who may be absent without the leave OF the
House. who, when arrested, shall be brought
to the bar of the House, and the Speaker shall
state to each member thus brought to the bar
OF the House the question pending, and ask
the member how he desires to vote. II he
votes his vote shall be recorded; if not. he
shall be recorded rs present and not voting;
and when a quorum is thus constituted the
result shall be announced.
After quorum appears and the subject
matter pending is disposed OF, tine House may
require any member who was arrested as pro-
vided in this rule to show cause at the bar of
the House why he should not be punished for
being absent without leave of the House.
II quorum is not constituted as provided
herein when the House shall have adjourned
or taken a recess, which may be done in either
case byunanlmous consent, the question pend
ing shall be the first business in order when
the House again meets. and the members who
have not voted or who have not been recorded
az present and not voting, shall again be called
and those who may be brought TO the bar of
the House shall also he called upon to vote as
If originally present. and the same course shall
be pursued as in the first instance until
quorum is constituted.

fairly good buying, took an upward turn, ad-
vancing 2% per cent, reacting * at the
close. The movement in this stock was
mainly due to the covering OF short contracts.
Distilling fell of = in the opening trading as
the effect of Judge Gibbons decision of yes
terday, ordering the trial on its merits OF the

antitrust law. There was a quick recovery
of the loss, and during the afternoon an adj
vance of 1ts, of which a was lost in the clos

MEXICAN DOLLARS.
Many Senators Urge that We Coin Such
Silver for Eastern Trade.

Many Senators Urge that We Coin Such
Silver for Eastern Trade.
Senator Lodge delivered a ringing speech
yesterday in support of Senator Woleott's
resolution to coin Mexican silver dollars,
urging its passage because the experiment
was worth trying, while it could do no harm.
While disposing of certain amount of our
surplus silver it would have another effect
not yet noted; it would throw into our hands
a certain amount of trade with China which
now passed by way of London. While there
might be difference of opinion in the coun-
try as regards silver, there was one thing all
were agreed upon, and that was that England
was the great enemy to the restoration OF sill
yer. and il there was any way of striking at
England's trade or England's money it was
our duty to do it.
He thought it would be possible to strike at
England through her eastern trade. but he
would go further and strike her through her
colonies-through her Cape diamonds. her
Assam and Ceylon tea, and her Australian
wool-he would strike her through her
pockets.
We wanted to force England to take the
view of silver which we believed to be right
and just. and there was only one way of deal
ing with her. and that was to make her feel
it In her pocket.
II. Oh tiO Sobeidis, VIC hSipou HOi py ,h'O Nv
ing open our markets, as proposed by the
pending tariff bill, we would be only helping
her TO force monometallism on the world.
If there was any way of striking at Great
Britain (Which was the only way of coming to
an understanding with her as to silver. it was
clearly to the best interests of the United
States to do so.
Senator Dubois, of Idaho. followed in sup
port OF the resolution. maintaining that it
was useless to look to England for co-opera-
tion in our efforts for the restoration Of silver,
for after struggling since 1916 to force the
world to gold basis it was not likely that
now that she had succeeded in her efforts she
would consent to an agreement for bimetal-
lism. All the silver mines of the country were
now closed and he believed that The adoption
of some such expedient as that suggested in
the resolution would result in the reopening
of the mines and the return of prosperity to
the West.
The resolution goes over until Senator VOL
colts return

to be Ohstructionists Too.
The close vote yesterday upon Senator

fact that he, Democrat, whose position with
reference to the bill is doubtful, offered the
motion. and the additional fact that he was
Joined in the vote in his support OF the motion
by two other Democrats, absent and either
paired for the motion or not paired at all
combined to render the proceeding signifl-
cant. and some of the Democrat members of
the Finance Committee evidently looked upon
it as ominous.
The Republicans present voted solidly for
the motion TO adjourn over. OF the four
Populists Stewart alone voted in the affirma-
tive. The Republican vote is significant of
solid party opposition. Senators Hill. Irby.
and Murphy voted with the Republicans and
Senator Brice was paired fayorably for the
bill. Senators Mcpherson. Camden, Call and
Fa-lkner were absent. impaired; Senators
German, Caffery. and Blanchard, who are
not supposed TO be entirely satisfied with the
bill, voted with their party against adjourn
ment. and Senator Smith, of New Jersey. and

Guided in the same category. were paired
against the motion. 1t would have required
but two votes to change the result: and the
Republicans declared that if another vote had
been taken on the same proposition they
could have obtained the necessary votes.
The Republicans concluded from the days
proceedings that it was the purpose of the
Democrats to press the bill from this time for
ward. while the Democrats profess to see in
them an intention on the part of the Republi-
cans to delay consideration as long as possi-
ble and to even resort to filibustering ifneces-
sary to accomplish that result. The Republi
cans deny the impeachment against them
selves. The Democrats confess that they will
crowd the bill along as rapidly as possible
and not permit any delay which is not abso-
lutely necessary.
