IN THE HOUSE OF LORDS.
What Happens when Two or More
Peers Want to Speak MT Once.


There is no rule against dozen
peers or the entire peerage for that
matter. rising and addressing the lord
chancellor at the same time. The lord
chancellor has no power to select the
peer who shall speak. 4 lord chancel-
lor's leg may be pulled, we imagine,
but his eye can never be caught. For
all he can do two peers wishing to adj
dress the house and refusing to give
way one to the other could stay on
their feet until one Of them dropped
from exhaustion.
This is no exaggeration. Within liv-
ing memory two peers engaged in an
adventure which at first threatened to
develop into firing down contest aft
er the manner of Goldsmiths dancers.
1t happened in 1884 on warm July
day and was very entertaining while
1t lasted.
The two were Earl Granville and
Lord Cairns Both rose simultane-
ously to speak. The two peers stood
facing each other at the table, and
sans kept shouting "Granvillev' and
"Cairnsr' in an aristocratic manner. 1t
must have sounded a little like cup
tie. Lord Selborne sat on the woolsack
helpless. The scene might have lasted
until either Earl Granville or Lord
Cairns had fallen fainting had not
Lord Beauchamp earned immortal
fame by creating precedent in the
house of lords He moved, in tone of
anger, that Lord Cairns be heard, and
Lord Cork, in a similar tone, moved
that Lord Granville be heard.
A vote was taken. and Lord Gran
vile won by a majority of one in a
house of fifty-three excited peers. So
If the lord chancellor at any time finds
himself confronted by two noble but
obstinate orators there is a precedent
to fall back upon which may be found
useful-London News.

NEW FIRE-bSCAPE LAW
PLANNING TO ENFORCE MEASURE
PASSED BY CONGRESS.

Much discussion of the wide effect OF the
"fire-escape law which was passed yester-
day by Congress and forwarded TO the
White House for the signature of the Pres
ident, was heard in the District building
today In anticipation of approval of the
measure by President Roosevelt. prepare
tons are already manifest for an active
campaign as soon as the Commissioners are
officially advised that the bill has become
a law,
The "fre-escape law contemplates the
requirement of fire-escapes on all buildings
within the District that are more than
three stories in height, private residences
alone excepted. One provision In the orig
inal bill making an exception Of buildings
of so-called fireproof construction was
stricken out by Congress. Boarding and
lodging houses, apartments, flats, hotels.
factories, office buildings - In fact, every
sort of structure of more than three stories
in height, save residences occupied by one
family each-must be provided with regu-
lation iron outside stairs or some other
form of fre-escape approved by the build
ing department.
Another provision of the measure which
will have wide effect In the District refers
to the location of red lights indicating fire
escapes in hotels, office buildings, lodging
houses and apartments, 1t being required
that the lights be placed only at the point
of ready access to the fire-escape instead
of at all turns in Railways. etc.

OBTAINS A PERMIT.
Firth Sterling Steel Company to Begin
ODerations.

Ample evidence that active operations to-
ward the construction of the plant OF the
christening Steel Company on the banks
of the Eastern branch at Giesboro Manor
will soon be under way was furnished the
local building department this morning
when j. r. Rose, agent for the company,
appeared before Building Inspector Ashford
and presented an application for permission
to construct six shop buildings on the prop
erty recently acquired for the company. In
conversation with Inspector Ashford Mr..
Rose stated that his company had refused
TO indorse the effort recently inaugurated
to have the smoke law repealed south of the
Eastern branch and he declared that the
Firth Sterling company fully intended obey
ing the letter of the law.
Where heat and power are to BE fur
n.shed other than by gas. he said, the
company is prepared to install furnances to
burn anthracite coal only.
The permit as issued. authorizing the
Firth-Sterling Steel Company to construct
six one-story brick and steel shop build
ings, specifies that the estimated cost OF
these buildings will be about $4,000. The
shops will be of varying sizes. as follows:
Twenty-Five by sixty-six feet 35x112. 3oxS0.
0oxI50, I2dx3O0 and 127 by 800. Permits for
other buildings, 1t was intfmated, may be
taken out In the near future.

COAL TRUST FAILS AGAIN
Unable to Convince Court Of Virtue Of Its
Technical Plee. 4
JUDGE TRoUP DlsMlssEs MOTIONS
Rules that While Complaint Might
he Improved Initials for
Names is Not Fatal
Mistake.

Judge Troup Friday morning overruled
both Of the dilatory motions filed by the
coal dealers in the coal trust Injunction
case, and Monday the attorneys will ap-
pear in court and the final answer day will
then be fixed and the case probably set for
trial. The motions made by the coal trust
We're to quash the service on certain de-
,undants because their initials and not
their first names had been used In the peti-
tion, and to compel the county attorney
10 make his petition more definite.
Judge Troup, in overruling the first mo-
tion, did so with the condition that County
Attorney Slabaugh amend his petition
within twenty fOurs hours by inserting the
full names of the defendants. In one or
two cases where personal service had not
been had a new summons will be issued.
In overruling the motion to make more
Definite Judge Troup said, while he thought
the petition might be improved somewhat,
Il was still definite enough in its charges

the grand jury have so far failed to show

HOME FOR COMMERCIAL CLUB
Several Proportions Submitted for
New Headquarters, but No
Choice Made.

Several propositions have been submitted
to the Commercial club for its removal
from the present quarters TO more COM
modious ones. Fred d. Wead has offered
the entire building he proposes to erect at
Eighteenth and Farnam. Bids will be
taken on this and the contract let next
week. and IL is expected to have the struc-
ture completed early I'm January. The top
floor Of the Brandeis building Is offered.
a part OF the Range building and part
OF Herman Cohn'A proposed four-story
structure on North Sixteenth street.
There is also talk that the owners Of
the lot Immediately west Of the Board Of
Trade building may be induced TO erect a
building of hve stories so that the club
could keep its present home and in addi-
tion have a top floor OF the adjoining
structure.

MoRE T0ooPS TO DOWN UTES
additional to sixth Cavalry
.Gt from the Department
of the Missouri.

No additional troops other than the
Sixth cavalry have been sent recently
from the Department of the Missouri TO
undertake to drive the Ute Indians back
onto their reservation.
telegram was received from Major
Grierson, commanding the battalion of
the Tenth cavalry, now at Gillette, stat
ing that the situation remains practically
unchanged. Word was received from Col
Onel Rodgers of the Sixth cavalry, now
en- route to the scene of disturbance, the
command having just started on its
overland march from the railroad of 1875
miles to where the Indians are encamped.
The Utes are still determined not to
return, but this is owing to the probable
contempt the Indians presume to have for
the meager force OF the Tenth cavalry
now confronting them. They have indi-
Gated to Major Grierson that they intend
going on to the Crow agency and have
sent messengers ahead to select camping
grounds and TO notify the settlers and
ranchmen that they mean to do no harm,
but merely want to lease camping
grounds. The body Of Indians comprises
about 500.
An interesting fact connected with this
raid of the Utes Is that they are a part
OF and descendants of the Uintah reserva-
ton Uncompaghre and Ute tribes that mas
