HOW THE BILL WENT THROUGH.
Step by Step the Reformatory Meas
ure Was Opposed in Senate.

Portents ominous and significant in
their way as those which limited of the
murder of Caesar preceded the call for the
Reformatory bill in the Senate yesterday
morning There was a determined look on
the faces of the known promoters OF the
measure that was grim and unrelenting.
1t gave no hope TO those senators who for
various reasons felt obliged to acquiesce In
passing the bill while feeling perhaps that
IL should not go through. There was
general atmosphere of uneasiness. Pre-
liminary business was rushed through. In
one way or another discussion on other
matters was abbreviated or guillotined.
The friends of the bill made IT plain that
the issue was to be presented squarely and
senator's would have to go on record one
way or another.
Finally the roll call on bills on third read
ing was reached. With half the
senator's listened to action on a bill or two
Of minor importance and voted for o..
against with hardly thought as TO the
words they were saying. Then Senator
Goodwine, of Williamsport, the man who
introduced the Reformatory bill and the ac-
knowledged representative of the Governor
all through. arose and called up Senate
bill No. los and the first shot of the battle
had been fired.
VISITORS ON THE ALERT
The excitement communicated itself to
the visitors The Senate chamber was
crowded. The House took a recess. osten-
sibly to kill time until the calling of the
joint session for the canvassing of the vote
for United States senator, in reality be-
cause the interest felt by the representa-
tives in the fate of the bill was so intense
and personal that they were drawn irresist-
ibly as IL magnetized. Dozens of members
Of the lower house came into the Senate
chamber and found seats where they could.
As usual, in times OF interest, there were
many women visiting the chamber. Wheth-
er they fully understood the purport of the
events Is not known, but they listened to
the sharp debate without removing their
eyes from senators speaking under stress
OF great emotion. A number OF the state
officers and a few judges of the Supreme
and Appellate courts were in the crowd OF
visitors
No sooner had the bill been read by the
clerk than Senator Barcus, of Terre Haute,
was on his feet offering an amendment for
the purpose of eliminating from the Re
formatory bill all features that had been
found objectionable. His amendment pro-
vided that the government of the Indiana
Reformatory should consist of board of
managers to be composed of four men,
bers, instead of three members, as the bill
provided. to be appointed by the Governor.

Booth Harrington is fast learning all the
arts of the lobbyist. He is not combining
his efforts in opposition to the Indiana Re-
forlnatory bill to argument and reiteration
of arguments. but. proceeding on the truth
of the old maxim that the way to a mans
heart is through his stomach, he has been
giving little dinner parties over at the CO.
lumbia Club every evening for the past
week. Now, II is not every mortal that Is
so fortunate as to get to dine with 1.-The
Gentleman from Indiana" and a dinner at
the Columbia Club-well, everybody knows,
or wants TO know, what that means. The
combination is said TO be irresistible Tark-
ingtons reputation as a host is proverbial,
an: his dinner parties have proved so sue
cessful that ii has been charged that some
members of the House have loudly ex-
pressed their belief that the Reformatory
bill should pass in order that they might
be subjected TO his particularly delightful
manner OF lobbying.
Several good stories are told In connec-
ton with these dinners. The other night

Committee on Education Not Ready to

A favorable report will be made on Sem

trustee shall within four weeks after filing
his annual report publish in the leading
newspaper of each of the two leading DO
report with the provision that the law be
not applicable to townships of 10000 or
more population.
The committee on judiciary No. /, of
which Senator Parks is chairman, consid-
cred several measures without taking def
mite action. One bill, however, will likely
be reported for indefinite postponement. 1t
is Senate bill No. &c. by Mr.. Milburn, pro-
viding a change of venue in civil cases.
The committee on judiciary No. 2, Mr..
Kittinger, chairman, received a delegation
of Indianapolis attorneys. including Nathan
Morris and John r. Wilson, who argued
in favor of the passage of Senator Mat
sons bill providing for the appointment OF
commission by the Governor to codify
and revise the statutes relating to corpora
tions. No action was taken on the bill.
Senator Wolcott's committee on educa-
ton discussed several measures, among
them Senator Grays free textbook bill.
This is a measure to which the committee
desires to give plenty of time, and the re-
port on IL will be deferred for several days.
The committee on roads and on fees and
salaries met without taking important
action.

REMNANT SALE IN THE HOUSE.
Bill by Mr.. COnaway, OF Dearborn,
May Stir Up Discussion.

May Stir Up Discussion.
The House held a short session yesterday
morning, but the hearts of the members
were not in the work-they wanted to get
over into the Senate to hear the speeches
on the Reformatory bill. One by one the
representatives slipped out and went over
to the other side Of the Statehouse, and
finally the remnant voted to take a recess
until the time for the joint session, and
then they ali went over the way.
The Rev. Sol c.. Dickey, of this city.
opened the session with prayer. The first
thing taken up was the unfinished business
of the day before. and, as the House had
adjourned on Tuesday in the midst of the
roll call for new bills, the call was re-
sumed. Several new measures were intro
duced. among others one by Mr.. Mummert
State fire marshal and one by Mr.. Conway,
Democrat repeating the blanket remon-
STRANGE" provision of the Nicholson law
Mr.. Mummert's bill is aimed to put into eff
feet the recommendation contained in Gov
ernor Durbin's message that the State
should have fire marshal.
Mr.. Conaway's bill is backed by the
liquor interests and it will probably pre-
cipitate a lively fight between that ele-
ment and the Prohibition party workers
and the Anti-saloon League.

came up on third reading a special
order. 1t was recommitted with instruc-
tions to incorporate some technical amend
ments.
A few committee reports were received
and resolution of sympathy for Repre-
sentative Slack, whose little girl died
Tuesday, was adopted. Then the House
took a recess.
After the joint session few more COM
mittee reports were received. the impor-
tant one being that of the committee on
the affairs of the city of Indianapolis.
which recommended Mr.. Wright's voting
machine bill for passage. The House adj
journed until 10 o'clock to-day.

CAUCUS MAY BE HELD.


1t was reported last night that arrange
ments were being quietly perfected for an
informal caucus of the Republican MEM
bers of the House, for tonight or to-mor-
row night, to discuss the Reformatory bill.
This caucus, 1t was said, would be solely
for the object of presenting to the members
some of the reasons urged by the sup
porters of the bill for its passage-reasons
that are not being publicly declared No
attempt will be made to make the bill a
caucus measure, as such an effort would
fail OF success almost before Ii was started,
but through the general informal discus
sion of the measure and the situation in re-
gard to the Reformatory it is hoped by the
administration forces that some of the
wavering members may be strengthened in

NOTHING FOR HAWAII
AT THIS SESSION

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-william H.
Eustis, special agent of the Treasury
appointed to investigate the question
of public buildings in Hawaii, appeared
before the House committee today and
urged appropriations for buildings at
Honolulu and Hilo. sites for which are
offered free. The members of the COM

appropriation, but that it is out of the
question at this session.
WASHINGTON. Jan 81. Senator
Mitchell said today. regarding his Ha-
waiian bills, that he did not expect to
see any of them pass during this ses-

matters. The most he looks for is a
favorable report upon which to base a
demand for legislation at the next ses-

ASKS HELP
FROM SHAW
Dole Gables for News
of Million Dollar
Payment.

| After a conference with Chairman
Macfarlane of the Fire Claims Commits
sion. George r. Carter and Secretary
H. E. Cooper, Governor Dole decided tc
ask the Secretary of the Treasury for
information regarding the million dollar
payment of the Fire Claims.
The following is the cablegram sent
last evening to Secretary Shaw in re-
gard to the Fire CLAIMS:
Honolulu, February 4, 1903.
Secretary of the Treasury, Washing
ton: How and where will million dol
lars be paid, Fire Claims? What data
required from here?
DOLE, Governor.
There was some discussion over the
question of bond issue, but nothing was
done. The matter of securing the pay
ment of the million dollars voted by
Congress is considered of more import
ance than the bond issue, which at the
best will take some little time. The
million dollars are Immediately avail
able, and it is the intention of the gov
ernor to have everything in readiness
for its payment at once. The bonds
cannot be fioated in any event at as
early a date as the appropriation is OBJ
tainable, so there will of necessity be
two installments paid on the fire claims.
The next installment will be in the
of about 65 per cent.

HOW TO STOP A COUGH.

A simple but effective remedy is the
following:
Breathing through the nostrils, inhaIe
full breath as slowly as is possible
without causing fatigue. Expel the
breath in the same manner, and repeat
the operation ten times. This will stop
an hour. Take a dose of Chamber =
lain's Cough Remedy during this lull
and the medicine will have a better
opportunity to act and will speedily
effect q complete cure. It always cures
and cures quickly. Benson, Smith& Co.,
Ltd, wholesale agents, sell it.
