Williams Blocks Business,

Washington, May 2.-Representa- tive John Sharp Williams, the leader of the minority of the house of rep resentatives, who is conducting d moderate filibuster in that body to further speedy report on the state- hood bill, is ont satisfied with the re- suits he is producing. by objecting to all unanimous consent" legislation until report was received from the statehood conferees.
 The report from the conference committee has not been made. To- day he declared that he would en- deavor ito put another reef in the Legislative sails" and demand that a quorum of the house shall be pres ent at all times when business is trasnacted. With such a requirement. as this hanging constantly over the heads of legislators progress would undoubtedly be slower. A quorum of the present house has been de- clared to be 191
 The house conferees on the state- hood bill have made, they say, every effort in their power to hasten the statehood contest between the two houses. The main question of diff ference has not been reached in their consideration, that of admitting or re- jecting Arizona and New Mexico. All of the time has been spent in minor amendments in the bill.

Quartet of Lawyers.

Four lawyers, Church, Kelley, Ros- CTS and J. A. Peasley, are girding their Joins for great scrap in Che shire Saturday morning. Attorney Church Is administrator on the es- tate of Lillian Crawson. There were law proceedings on the estate in which he and Attorney Kelley took part. There were other proceedings in which Attorney Peasley acted for some of the heirs and had deed set aside. Now that the day of reckon ing is at hand, the time for settling up the estate, the lawyers have sent in their bills. Mir Church's is about $200, Mir Reiley's, as counsel for Mir Church, is $75, and MT Peasley has not yet made up his. but rumor says 1t will at least be $100.
 Attorney Rogers will be on deck at the hearing in Cheshire to oppose Attorney Peasley's claim on the ground that he was not retained by the state: the heirs who engaged him must settle with him. On the other hand Attorney Peasley will be heard opposing the administrator bill on the ground that the heirs say 1t is too high. Attorney Kelley, as coun- sel for the administrator, will help Attorney Rogers in trying to knock out Attorney Peasley, and there they are. All the lawyers who can will be at the hearing, there is so much fun expected.

ManhoIe Sent Flying.

New York, May 2-Everybody with in two blocks of Twenty third street and First ohvenue last night had an experience that suggested an earth quake and incidentally saw one of the finest electrical fountains seen in this city in many day. A manhole cover was blown up. t..
 A policeman was near the manhole when a great volume of gas ignited, exploded and threw him ten feet away into the gutter. Two other policemen were shaken nearly off their feet, and three young women damned against a building, one suffering severe cut in the head. A large crowd gathered, and meantime firemen turned two streams into the conduit. which was converted into squirting electric fountain. As the water soaked the pavement blocks it made them con duct the liberated electricity, and for five minutes men jumped into the air whenever q stray flash came toward them. The police finally drove the crowd back block each way.
 The manhole cover had smashed up against the elevated railroad struc- ture and was shattered into frag- ments. Experts said an electric spark had ignited sewer gas in a conduit.
