Washington, April 2O-The senate
had under consideration during the
greater part of the session the con-
ference report on the Hawaiian civil
government measure. Senator Gull
lom made an extended explanation of
the changes in the bill Final action
was postponed, The Alaskan civil
code bill was considered for breif
time.
Washington, April 2O-As result
of a protracted struggle in the house,
the provision of the naval appropria-
tion bill to enable the secretary of the
navy to contract for armor for the bat
tleships Maine, Ohio and Missouri,
now awaiting armor equipment, at
S545 per ton, the price asked for Krupp
armor, is out of the bill as is the pro-
vision to repeal the $500 limitation
placed upon the price of armOr by the
current law. The exact effect of the
action of the house is disputed 1t is
contended by some that the action en-
powers the secretary to contract for
armor without regard to cost. BY
others it is claimed the provision will
be ineffective unless the senate inserts
the price.

near can of gasoline which exploded.
The can was near the cage in which
Madam Clio, otherwise known as "rhe
Lion Queen" was doing her turn with
four large lions belonging to the Frank
T. Bostc Carnival Company. The straw
on the ground and the tent caught fire.
The lions became frcnzcd and attacked
the young woman. The spectators were
terror stricken by the situation, and
those who did not fly in panic could
offer no assistance. The floor OF the
cage caught fire and there was danger Of
the lions breaking out, but Madam Clio
displayed remarkable strength and cour-
age. With an iron bar she beat back the
lions. Her arms and shoulders were
cruelty torn by their claws, and her
clothing stripped as well as burned by
the fire, but she kept the lions under
control, issuing orders for cxtingushing
the fire, until help camc, and the roar
ing beasts were gotten into another cage.
