burst Of applause, both from the
members and the galleries.
Various and sundry attempts
were made by the opponents of
the bill to have it amended or to
delay action, but every PROPOSE
tion that came from the opposi-
tion was voted down by large ma
jorities. The highest vote record
ed by the opponents of the meas
ure was thirty on the amendment
providing that the bill should not
apply except upon a vote of the
people. Futile efforts we're made
to have Memphis exempted from
the provisions of the bill, and an
amendment to restrict its provi-
sions to towns Of not over $4,000
was promptly tabled.

journal of the House was read on

question having been sustained on

The jamestown Exposition.

The Finance Committee Of both
Houses Of the General Assembly
have very properly recommended
for passage the bill appropriatin q
$25, 900 to enable the State to make
an exhibit Of its resources at the
jamestown Exposition. II, there
fore, only remains for both Houses
to promptly pass the bin and ed

the act to 20 on with the work.
With a large part Of the st. Louis
exhibit intact and ina a good state
of preservation, $4,000 will be
ample to enable Tennessee to make

j The feature in the Senate Tues
day was the passage of the pendle-
ton bill extending the Adams law
throughout the entire State.
/ Mr.. Cox proposed the amendment
that in case of all towns over 5000
that the surrender or repeal of char
ter be left to direct vote of the
| people.
Mr.. Pendlton moved that the
amendment be tabled.
/ Mr.. Cox stated that he thought
that matter OF so great iEpor-
tance should GO to direct vote of
4 the people. He defended his posi-
tion in regard to the Adams law
4 two years ago. He stated that his
amendment was in conformity with
Democratic principles of local self
government. He urged that the
people could be trusted, and that
j This question should be submitted
to them. He said that the rejection
of his amendment denied the prin-
ciple of local self-governmcnt.
4 In order to avoid any unconstitu-
4 Itional features that might be occa-
stoned by the incorporation of the
amendment, he proposed to intro
dnce his amendment as compan-
ion bill. He urged as the strong
est reason in support Of his amend
ment that no legislation should be
enacted unless it was backed by
public sentiment and that no bet
i ter way was to find out the senti-
ment of the people than to submit
this question to their direct vote.
For purpose of debate, Mr. PEN
dleton withdrew his motion to table
Mr. Cox's amendment.
Mr., Greenlaw stated that in case
of the four mile law and the Adams
law the question was submitted to
a direct vote of the people. He
said that he was in favor of Gov.
Patterson's view that the vote of
the delegation from any locality
was conclusive evidence of the sem
timent of that particular locality
without taking direct vote. He
said that he merely wanted the ex-
tention Of the Adams law to his
district, without causing another
vote. He proposed to amend Mr..
Cox's amendment by making it APP
ply to towns above 1900, which
would include Columbia.
Mr.. Pendleton said that every ex-
tension Of the Adams law had met
with strong opposition, but not
withstanding had always been rati-
fed by the Democratic party. He
thought that Mr.. Cox's amendment
was not valid. He said that his
measure did not force itself upon
the people, but it applied only to
those cities hereafter Incorporated
and did not apply unless the cities
were reincorporated. He said that
the right to change their charter
according to his law was strictly
II
Democratic. He said that the Nc
Minnville case merely decided that
the people had right to decide
whether or not they would change
their charter His bill provided
that the vote BY the people be taken
after the passage of the law, where
as Mr. Cox's amendment would re-
quire that the vote be taken before
the operation Of the law. The Su-
preme Court has declared that the
views of the representatives Of the
people represented the sentiment of
the people without the submission
OF any QUESTION to direct vote Of 4
the people. He opposed the amend
ment because he thought it uncon-
stitutional and renewed his motion

The Pendleton Bill Extends Adams Law
Over Entire State.

submit the question to the people
of Nashville. He said that both
Gov. Patterson and Judge Bond in
their canvass did not advocate the
extension of the Adams law to the
entire State. He stated that his
opposition to Pendleton's bill was
not based on any opposition to the
temperance cause, but was occa-
stoned by a difference in regard to
the temperance m eth cd s to be
adopted. He said that the temper
ance leagues had favored high IL
cense and segregation bills in owns
not affected by the Adams law.
This position was advocated by
Senator E. w. Carmack. This
American, under its present editor,
he said, had also advocated this
view. The history of his last cam
paign proved the wisdom of his
position. He did not attack the
sincerity of Mr.. Pend Teton, but
merely differed with him in regard
to temperance methods. He was
willing to submit the whisky ques-
tlon to the people at any date be-
fore the adjournment of the Legis-
lature, and let them decide whether
they would come within the pale Of
the Adams law. He was not posi-
tive in regard to the sentiment Of
Nashville in regard to the temper
ance methods to be adopted, but
was willing to test it by a direct
vote. He was opposed to Mr.. Cox's
amendment because he believed the
majority Of the cities affected by it
opposed it.

roo RADICAL.

Mr.. Tolett stated that he agreed
with the sentiment OF the people
of Tennessee that the extension oil
the Adams law throughout the en-
tire State was too rapid and toe
radical for the best welfare of the
people, as well as the temperance
cause. He did not believe that Mr..
Pendleton's bill was demanded BY
the temperance people of Tennes-
see. He stated that he was guided
by the more conservative senti-
ment Of Tennessee, and not by ex-
tremists. Fl e believed he repre-
sented the sentiment of the people.
He stated that the Democratic plat
form made the extension Of the
Adams law subservient to the will
of the people in the particular loca-
tion affected.
Mr.. Pendleton called for a vote
on his motion to table Mr.. Cox's
amendment. The motion passed by.
a vote Of l9 to 12, and the amend
ment was tabled.

which eighteen bodies have already

forty bodies are yet IN the SHAFT and
little hope is entertained that any will

have killed any survivors OF the hor-
rible explosion. OF the twenty-five
men who were taken out alive all are
in the hospitals and it is believed that
ten will die of injuries received.
Less than 100 men went into the
mine this morning and this accounts
for the fact that the loss of life was
not heavier. The mine has in the past
been pronounced free from gas by the
state mine inspectors, and it is suppos-
ed the explosion was caused by dust
