A CORRESPONDENT in Portland writes
to the indianapolis News that he be-
lieves Maine will repeal its prohibition
laws Mt the election next September.
The preliminaries to the necessary con-
stitutional amendment are all arranged
according to this observer. The demo-
cratic legislature will pass resolution
for resubmission of the liquor question,
he says, and Governor Plaistcd will
sign it. The proposition will be pre-
scented to the people at the next cleo
ton and tho correspondent adds:
Judging from the results few years
ago in Vermont and New Hampshire,
it would seem reasonable to predict
that prohibition will be wiped out. In
the meantime it is believed that rigid
enforcement will be inausuratcd by the
sheriffs in every county for the next
eight months, to make the present law
still more unpopular" 1t would seem
that now when the people OF New Eng
land, who started the prohibition hum
bug, see its futility and are repu-
dating it, there are some southern peo-
pie who would take up the New Eng
land cast off garment and try to
force others to wear it.

THE DISTRICT REFORMATORY

Complying With the request OF the
resolution introduced Saturday by Sen
ator Du Pont, the commissioners oil
the District of Columbia will today
send TO the Senate report replying
to the contentious OF the Mount Yer.
non Ladies Society that the home OIL
the first president will be desecratcd by
the location on an adjoining tract OIL
the new District reformatory.
The protest of the Mount Vernon
custodians was based on the issue oil
maintaining & criminal institution with
in a short distance Of Washington s
home and tomb. Led by Mrs. Levi
Letter, the society has waged an active
war, eliminating with the introduction
OF Senator Du Pont's resolution.
The commissioners report will take
up in detail the location of the prop
erty selected, showing that although it
is but four miles from Mount Vernon,
it is separated from it by Gunston Cove,
about one mile wide, by the high ridge
that divided the two original planta-
tions, and wide strip of heavily
wooded forest.
It will he expressed as the commits
sioners' plan to erect the reformatory
buildings some distance from the water
front, so that they will be entirely
screened from the river. A stockade
will inclose the reservations to prevent
possible escape. A brick-making plant
and possibly some other industries are
contemplated.
The tract selected by the commits
sioners embraces about l 800 acres, and
slopes from the ridge downward to Po-
hick bay and Accotink bay. The re-
port will lay especial stress upon the
desirabiIity OF such an institution being
located on the river front, thus proyid
ing quick means OF transportation.

Yesterdays Explosion in New York

Yesterdays Explosion in New York.
New York, Dec. 20.-The body of
the tenth victim of yesterdays ex-
plosion at the New York Central term
inal was taken from the ruins early to-
day. 1t is believed that this completes
the death list, as, according to the Off
Gals, the missing employees have turned
up. However, large force of work
men is still at work clearing away the
debris in order TO make, certain that
there arc no more dead.
OF the injured in the hospitals five
have fractured skulls and will probably
die. Four others have serious fractures
of limbs, one man has lost one eye and
will probably lose the sight OF the other.
a girl has lost an eye, while many
others are suffering from painful lace
rations.
The coroner and district attorney are
cooperating in their investigation to
fix the responsibility. 1t now seems
certain that the disaster could have
been avertcd had some one taken the
precaution to fill the sand box of the
electric line which hauled the train
that snapped the Pintsch gas pipe.
The explosion damage runs into the
millions. 1t was estimated by the in.
spectors OF the building department. to-
day that to put all OF the damaged struc-
lures in the explosion zone" into
condition will require 81 800, 900. Some
of the structures are SO wrecked that
they will have TO be rebuilt.

NO BIDDERS FOR TWO CUTTERS

It was discovered yesterday that the
application OF the eight-hour law to
the construction OF vessels for the
government has hit the revenue cutter
service q blow.
When the hour arrived for the
opening OF bids for the two revenue
cutters provided for at the last session
of Congress there were no bids to con-
slider. This Indifference to govern
ment contracts was at once attributed
to the operation of the eight hour law,
many shipbuilders having declared it
would be impossible to engage upon
work under the requirements laid
down BY that law, considering the
limit OF appropriations.

ALEX ANDRIA, VA.
TUESDAY EVENING, DEC. 20

THE Senate yesterday, as it should
have done, firmly reprimanded Vice
President Sherman. who was told in un-
mistakable language that he must never
try to introduce cloture rules in the Sen
ate. On Saturday Vice President
Sherman counted quorum. IN some
way the senators did not appear to
uotice it at the time, but, yesterday
morning, when the secretary OF the
Senate read the journal OF Saturdays
proceedings, the Senate suddenly re-
alixod what Mr.. Sherman had done.
Senator Culberson called the attention
OF the Senate to Mr.. Sherman's ruling.
He read from the journal how, on q
certain trivial vote last Saturday,
Mr.. Sherman had counted those
senators who had arisen in their
seats and had announced their
pairs With absent senator's. In other
words. Mr.. Sherman had counted a
uuorum"-the sinister process invent
ed by Speaker Reed in the heyday OF
his sway in the House. The matter
was debated by the senators about an
hour. One or two republican senators
rather missed the mark by trying to
explain that Vice President Sherman
had been misunderstood and that he
had no intention Of counting = quorum.
They felt Disconnected when Mr.. Sher-
man blandly informed them that they
were mistaken, and that he had most
certainly intended to do just what he
had done, namely, count quorum. I
Senator Hale told Mr.. Sherman that
the incident of last Saturday was rot
important and that he had possibly
been influenced by the many years he
had spent in such brilliant service Ia
another body, this being the exceed
ingly correct parliamentary way in
which senators refer to the House. Mr..
Hale added that he felt quite certain
there would never be another such rul-
ing by the chair and the matter was
passed by. Late in the afternoon, how
ever, there was repetition OF the rul-
ing by Vice President Sherman, which
brought the subject to al acute issue.
Senatnrs anrnnd that it was time to call
a halt on what they believed to be an
effort to modernizc the rules OF the
Senate, and by vote Of 81 TO II the
Senate sustained q motion by Senator
Hale, or appealing from the decision OF
the chair, whereby Mr.. Sherman had
again counted quorum. This time
the senators were thoroughly irritated
and it was very evident that they re-
scented Mr.. Sherman's conduct in re-
peating his offense so soon after the
warning he had received only few
hours before. The Senate has prided
itself upon being q deliberate body and
the bitterest partizans admit that
cloture rules should not be tolerated
therein.
