VOTE NO CONFIDENCE
ILLINOIS HOUSE REPuDlATES
SPEAKER MILLER.
BUT BY SMALL MAJORITY
Alleged that Speaker Made UnWar-
ranted Use of the Gavel in Refus-
ing to Allow a RollcaIl-Subpoena
Issued for Geo. II. Human of Chi
cago, in Order to Probe Bribery.

Springfield, H., April 25.-The Illi-
nois house of Representatives yester-
day, ~ TO 60, declared mo confidence"
in its presiding officer, Speaker John
II. Miller, whose alleged unwarrant-
ed use of the gavel in securing a pro
posed enactment affecting the Rich
street railway franchises in Chicago
led to riot Thursday. A committee
of five, all personal followers of the
speaker, had been appointed by him
10 investigate the charges of attempt
ed bribery in connection with the
passage of the Mueller traction bill.
There was a strong feeling among the
anti-Miller legislators that there was
possibility of whitewash Icing at
tempted, and steps were taken TO in
crease the committee in such man
ner as TO leave the speakers appoili
tees in the minority, if anything in the
line of a whitewash should be AZ
tempted. The Miller men fought hard
to retain the committee as originally
appointed, but were out-voted, and
| the special order for next Tuesday
morning. A subpoena issued for
George w. Human of Chicago was
made returnable at the same time
| 1t is the intention of the house to in
| terrogate him regarding him regard
ing the facts upon which an editorial
in the Inter Ocean alleging bribery in
connection with the Mueller ILL was
based.
The anti-Miller men came into rep
resentative hall determined to force
the speaker to prove his charges or
withdraw them. If he could not
readily ce induced to act they had de-
cided that no business should be
transacted in the house until he had
complied with their demand. They
had their own way in everything from
first to last, and the speakers forces
were defeated at every point.
Speaker Under Fire.
Springfield, April 25.-Speaker Mil

mittee at 10:45 and at 1890 a. III.
was still on the stand. He did not
give the name of any person who had
approached him with offers of money,
saying he did not know the identity of
| the people who had told him money
could be made by urging the passage
of the Mueller bill. A member of the
committee announced early this morn
| ing that unless stronger evidence was
produced the committee would be
compelled to report the charges did
not warrant further investigation.

Deming of New York, Clinton Rogers
woodruff of Philadelphia and others.
Solving the municipal problem was
the general topic of the program OF
the toastS.
Dr. Wilder discussed the topic, The
Advance of Public Sentiment. DR..
Wilder said he never visited a great
CITY without wondering what myster-
ious power gave cohesion to the chaos
of multitude where individuality
seemed lost. 1t needs the homely viz
tues of the freside, love of country
and Difference to authority, he said,
to hold the urban mass within bounds.

London, April 25-The Associated
Press has learned that there is con-
templated forciBle joint protest On the
part of Great Britain, the United
States and Japan against Russian de-
mands in the matter of the sovereign
ty of Manchuria. Foreign Secretary
Lansdowne intends to circulate papers
looking to joint action from Washing
ton, London and Toxic, provided fur
Their information sustains the present
abstract of the Russian demands.
The Associated Press is authorized
by the foreign office to state that if
the Chinese government correctly rep
resents Russias claims, these claims
constitute an absolute breach of all
undertakings given in connection with
Manchuria and utterly abrogate the
principles of open door, territorial divi-
sion and the international committee,
to which the British government con-
stantly and publicly has committed
itself. 1t is added that in these prfn-
ciples Great Britain always acted with
the United States and it is presumed
similar feeling exists at Washing
ton. Nothing, however, is definitely
known as with the exception of the
British minister to China, TO British
ambassador has yet reported. 1t is
pointed out that RuSeia's legislation
may throw a different light on her de-
mands, although III official circles here
there is q frank expression OF the be-
lief that Russia has no intention of
evacuating Manchuria, and that she
hopes after demanding her maximum
to secure a compromise.
Baron Hayashi, the japanese minis
ter to Great Britain, said last night
that there is every reason to believe
the correctness Of the reports of Rus
sia's demands, which he characterized
as contrary to the provision of the
agreement. He pointed out that China
had not yet given her consent to these
demands.
