The Opposition g.= sistance but 3. Another Unti. 2 Went to Piece , tered Into an 4
 ing if Necessar,

Slowly, haltingly, with many groans from the axles, many bumps of the wheels, and considerable uncertainty of the drivers, with many stops for re- pair of the machinery-all accompanied by numerous outories from the victims under the wheels-the legislative ice wagon was finally driven over the op- ponents Of the Cowan bill yesterday evening after o'clock, and that meas ure was passed by vote of E to 6, sence. The conclusion was only reached after a prolonged and useless flibuster led by Mr. Rowe of Yavapai county. After MT. Rowe had made speech of two hours duration ostensibly against the school bill, but. in which he was so palpably talking against time that he was frequently called to order for not speaking to the subject before the house, the mill was started on tha bills which had the call ahead Of house bill 14-Mr. Cowan's famous bill to d. vert the fees of the territorial secre- y.
 The school bill was ordered to en- glossment by q vote of fl to 1O.- By the same vote was the bill to relieve W. :. Cummings of Santa Cruz county, as was the bill providing for q territorial librarian pro tenn. Tlsis was not ac- compiished, however, without great confusion. Much of the time, owing to the good nature of Speaker Powers. bedlan1 prevailed. There was little pre- tence of following parliamentary pro- cedure. The chair would mildly make his rulings, and MT. Rowe. MT. Barrow. MT. Morrison. MT. Herr. MT. Whiteside or MT. St. Charles would protest. and go on protesting after two or three rul ings had been made by the chair in sue cession upon the same question.
 Mir. Roemer. Mir. Webb and MT. O'Connell led the majority, and they steadily pressed their advantage. mean while making no secret of the fact tha: the jority proposed to hold the house in session all night if necessary in order to get action on the bill. IL had been understood all day that it was the be- lief Of the bills enemies that if it could be held in the house until today it's de
  plished in the council. However. the numerous test votes had convinced MT. Rowe that he might as well yield to the inevitable, and suddenly after T hasty consultation between him and the leaders on the other side it was agreed that all the bills ahead of the Cowan bill should be temporarily laid aside and the Cowan bill taken up and placed on final passage. There was in tense stiffness as the roll was called, the crowded galleries as well as the members noting with eagerness the progress of the vote. The tally sheet showed the final lineup to be as fol lows:
 For the bill-Bernard, Collins, Cowan, Gonzalez, Howell. Marlar, O'Conneii. Page, Roemer, St. Charles, Webb, Whiteside. Williams, Woolf. the speaker.
 Against the bili-Barrow, Herr, In gals, Parr. Rowe. Schillng.
 Absent or e,lcused-Henry,. Morrison. Lamont.
 It will be observed that Messrs. S.. Charles and Whiteside who had been ably assisting in the flibustering, ae last voted for the bill.

Meetings.
CARDS ARE COLLECTED.
At The Last Meeting Held Only -Four Mem
bsrs Were Present And They We're
OdScers- Merchants Declare They win
Continue Early Closing For Time At
Least.

At the last meeting of the members
Of Retail Clerks Union, Local No. so,
it was decided to disband the organ
ization. Two years ago this April, a
number Of the retail clerks got TO
gether, held meetings in Union Hall,
Smith street, and the organization
was the result. The clerks all over
town, and many of the merchants
were in favor OF it, and the union
prospered under that old motto :" In
Union there is Strength. !"
Until short time ago everything
went we'll, the clerks attended all the
meetings regularly, there was hardly
a card that was not paid at least two
weeks ahead. Finally the clerks be-
gan to stay away from the meetings
One by one they forgot to pay their
dues. At the meeting Wednesday
night, out of all the union clerks
in town, only four were present and
they were officers. It was then decid
ed to disband. Today the last of the
large cards, which have been in the
show windows Of several stores, are
being gathered By the clerks. They
will be stored away until the early
closing movement is again revived.
A number of the merchants say that,
although the clerks union is no more,
that they will continue to close as
usual for at least while yet.
