Fire I'm a Power House.

Jersey City, N. j., Dec. 19.-The
worst crush in the history of downtown
committing in New York followed an
accident today that put the entire
Hudson and Manhattan Railway
system, operating the tunnel trains
between Hoboken, Jersey City and
Sixth avenue and Thirty-third street,
Manhattan, out of business. The
accident was fire in the Jersey City
poWerhouse OF the company and the
entire system was left without electric
power for hours.
The Pennsylvania railroad has, as
the result OF the opening of its tunnel
and new station, abolished the Twenty
third street ferry entirely and reduced
the number OF boats on the other two
lines. The result was that the thousands
OF commuters on that road and on the
Jersey trolleys were herded like cattle
on the few boats running and it was
necessary 10 call out police reserves to
keep the crowds in check.
The fire started from some unknown
cause in the power house of the
Hudson and Manhattan Company in
Jersey City shortly after 4 o'clock. II
burned all of the woodwork, waste and
infammable materials on the main
floor and put the small engine which
furnishes the air to the boiler room and
boilers out commission. This caused
the boiler room force to abandon the
machinery and make for the street.
The fire was put out in a couple OF
hours, but the machinery was damaged
so badly that several hours were need
ed to make repairs. Meanwhile the
entire system was tied up.

SIXTY-FIRST CONGRESS.
THIRD SESSION.
SENATE

The question OF Yice-President Sher-
man counting quorum on Saturday
was brought up in the Senate today by
Senator McCumber. He called atten-
ton to the vote on which 16 senator's
voted aye and 25 no, being but Al and
not constituting quorum. The Vice
president announced the motion lost as
6 senators had stated their pairs, thus
demonstrating the presence of quo.
rum. The matter came UP on the APP
proyal of the journal.
Senator Culberson said it was a most
important matter and demanded a
quorum to consider it. Mr.. McCumber
said the ruling was not in accordance
with the precedents OF the Senate.
Mr.. Culberson protested against the
ruling OF the chair as violation of the
rules and contrary to all precedent.
He would vote against approving the
journal.
Senator Hale did not regard the mat
ter as disturbing because it had not
affected the bill in any way. He agreed
with Mr.. Culberson that the intima-
ton from the chair was wrong and he
hoped he would carefully consider the
question before attempting to enforce
such rule.
1t was held by Senator Carter, that
the ruling OF the chair was in no sense
equivalent to counting quorum. He
clair led that it did not violate any rule
Of the Senate.
1t was the statement OF deliberate
ruling" said Mr.. Culberson.
The chair so intended it." repeated
Mr.. Sherman twice, with much en-
phasis.
No rule of the body provides for
pairs" said Senator Hepburn.
Mr.. Gallinger thought it competent
for the Chair to do as was done Satur-
day.
Senator Shiyely said Mr.. Culberson
had properly protested against the in
PRODUCTION Of an innovation in the
Senate.
Vice President Sherman said that
three OF his predecessors had counted
auorums. The Journal was then ap.
proved without division.
The matter OF an anti-coupon bill
was brought up by Senator BeYeridge.
He gave notice that such an important
piece OF legislation shall not be per-
mitted to slumber forever.

| have no hesitancy in saying that
the people of Oregon feel satisfied
that they have received full value
for the $4,000 they have spent for
the submission OF measures under the
initiative and referendum The only
persons who raise the question of
cost are those who would be OPP
posed to direct legislation II II
were free Of cost think | could
site numerous instances of laws
passed by the legislature which cost
the people much more than $25. 900
without any tangible return, and per
haps could cite a few measures which
had been defeated by legislatures
with resultant loss to the people OF
many times $4,000. The cost OF
legislation cannot always be meas
ured in dollars.
The people are not only inteIi.
gent, but fair and honest. When the
initiative and referendum was under
consideration It was freelcy predict
ed by enemies of popular government
that the power would be abused and
that capitalists would not invest their
money In a state where property
would be subject to attacks of popu.
lar passion and temporary whims. Ex.
perience has exploded this argument
There has been no hasty or ill-ad.

calmly and deliberately and with that
spirit of fairness which always char
