THE COUNTING RULE
IT WAS PASSED OVERWHELMINGLY
BY THE HOUSE.

Practically the Same Rule Inaugurated
While Reed Of Maine Was Speaker of
the House of Representatives--Pop
Did Not Vote ON the Proposition--NIeas-
ure Carried by ala to al.
WASHINGTON, April 1S.-The house
Tuesday by an overwhelming vote de-
cided to adopt quorum counting rule
which for all practical purposes is the
same as that which ex-Speaker Reed of
Maine inaugurated during the Fifty
first congress and which won for him a
world wide reputation. Neither undue
excitement nor tumultuous scenes
marked the crushing of the old legis-
lative barriers. Mr.. Reed and the Re-
publicans generally were in delight
full humor over the victory they had
achieved. Those who expected Mr..
Reed would taunt and gibe his political
adversaries with their alleged incon-
sistency were disappointed. Only 10
minutes on side were allowed for de-
bate and Mr.. Reed, instead of consum-
ing that with an arraignment of the
Democrats, good naturedly distributed

oppose the new rule and when his time
was exhausted he asked for more time
to dole out among his friends on the
other side
Messrs. Bryan, Cummings, Wheeler,
Kilgore and Russell being the Demo
Gratis who we've thus given an oppor-
tunity to protest against the adoption
of the rule. When the vote was taken
AZ Democrats voted against it, but it
secured every Republican vote and car
ried by vote of 212 to AZ. The Popu-
lists did not vote on the proposition.
The adoption of this rule, taken in con-
junction with the decision to enforce
the old law of 1916 to dock the salaries
of members absent, save ON account of
sickness, will, it is thought, put an end
forever to parliamentary obstruction.
The enforcement of that law will keep
members at their post of duty and the
rule will prevent them from refusing
to participate in legislation when they
are present.
After the adoption of the rule it only
required few minutes to straighten
out the parliamentary tangle which the
house has been in for some days and
the house quietly proceeded with the
consideration of the consular and dlplo-
matic bill. Mr.. Hit made strong
speech, arraigning the foreign policy of
the administration in the course of
which he severely scored the president
for appointing Van Allen minister to
Italy as a reward for his $500 politi-
cal contribution.

Two Washington Detectives Sent to Join
the Commonweal Army.
WASHINGTON, April 1S.--While the
police authorities of Washington are
not making known their plans in adj
vance, they are laying active prepara-
tions to receive General Coxey and his
commonweal army.
Two members of the detective
branch of the force. Officers Quinlan
and Boyd, were sent to join the army
at Cumberland Saturday. Their bust
ness will ne to make the acquaintance
of any criminals who may be enlisted
in the ranks and to learn the true in
wardness of the movement, if it con-
ceals any sinister designs.
Colonel Redstone, the local agent of
the commonweal, visited police head
quarters to labor with Inspector He'll
ingberger and convince him that the
purposes of the movement are bene-
ficent He represented that the cru
saders are all law-abiding men and de-
clared that they will remain in town
but few hours. The inspector dc.
clined to take stock in reincarnation
and denounced the army.

A Mysterious Explosion Does Great Dam
age at Los Angeles.
Los ANGELES, April 18.--A mysteri
Gus explosion demolished the frame
building of Mrs. Louise Mohn, 400 to
459 South Spring street, and badly
damaged Kestner's butcher shop, the
Golden Rule produce store and the
store adjoining. The conclusion was
like an immense cannon shot, which
flashed with great blaze to the sky.
For half block in each direction from
the wrecked building the sidewalks are
covered with debris and broken glass
on the opposite side of the street show
windows were blown to atoms.
The wrecked building was occupied
by restaurant, cigar store and
Baborowskis shell and iewelry store, in
the latter Of which the explosion prob.
ably occurred Miss Kate Schooner,
proprietress of the restaurant, was
sleeping in a rear room and when
awakened found the building blown
nearly away, but her bed and herself
were miracuously unharned. Baborow-
SKI claims to know nothing of the origin
of the disaster, but is suspected
Many theories are advanced as to the
cause. some saying can of gasoline
blew up, others thought an engine used
in the shell store, others gas, but the
most plausible seems to be dynamite.
1t is believed by many that two bodies
are in the debris. The loss is $4,000.

WAS OUT FOR BLOOD
WILLIAM 3. COPELAND SHOT TWO
MEN AT INDIANAPOLIS.

The Fight Took Place Ia the OfHce OF Ex-
President Observation-Disclosures over u
Large Estate Led to the Exciting Array.
The wouldbe Murderer Placed Under
Arrest.
INDIANAPOLIS April 1S.-In the law
office of Harrison, Miller & Elan, short
ly after noon Tuesday. there was an
exciting shooting affray. Ex-President
Harrison and ex-Attorney General Mil
Ter are the senior members of the firm.
A conference had been arranged be-
tween William b. Copeland and Will
lam H. Bruning, rival litigants of Mad
ison, Ind, and their attorneys at
the Office. Bruning, his attorney, Hon.
A. @. Harris and Fred Winter, a mem
Der of the law firm, were already in
the room when Copeland came in and
without saying word, drew re-
volver and began shooting at Bruning
whose sworn enemy he was.
The first two shots struck Mr.. Harris
in the left arm, fracturing the
bone. The third struck Bruning in the
cheek near the mouth. intlicting very
dangerous wound.
w. III. II. Miller ran into the room
and attempted to seize Copeland. The
latter. maddened by the interference,
tried to shoot the ex-attorney general OF
the United States. but was prevented.
In the meantime, however, he had used
his weapon as a club and had beaten
Bruning frightfully about the head and
face. Men in the adjoining offices
rushed in and prevented further shoot
ing. Copeland was arrested.
He is an ex-member of the legislature
from Jefferson county. Mr.. Harris is
not dangerously wounded unless COM
plications ensue. He is one of the fore
most lawyers of the state and is at pres
ent engaged as leading counsel for the
defendants in the bank conspiracy
cases. He is also an attorney for the
plaintiffs i'll the Iron Hall receivership
case and was once defeated for congress
by Mr.. Bynum. Bruning will probably
recover. Several suits are pending be-
tween him and Copeland and very bitter
feeling exists.
Copeland had evidently come to the
place of meeting with the deliberate in
tention of killing his enemy.
There are three suits pending in the
United States court in which Clara
Copeland is plaintiff and William Ii.
Bruning defendant. The same question
is involved in all the suits-the division
of the estate of John +. Bruning, the
father of Clara Copeland and William
III. Bruning. The estate is very large.
The relations between the litigants
were that of brothers-in-law. Cope
land married Bruning's sister in 1885
while he was a member of the legisla-
ture. The family was opposed to his
suited from the suits. Addison G. Har-
ris is attorney for Clara Copeland and
Miller, Winter & Elam attorneys for
William III. Bruning. The case is ir
chancery at present.
