FATAL LACK OF QUORUM.

Washington, D. c, June IA de- lay in the smooth progress of the democratic legislative program and a vote on the wool tariff revision bill will be occasiOned on Monday be- cause the democrats of the house for the first time since the beginning of the special session, today were unable to muster enough votes to support a motion to adjourn until Tuesday and avoid the consideration of the committee discharge calendar"
 Ever since the opening session the democrats have successfully dodged the provisions of this calendar and "The dollar a day" pension bill must face the issue on Monday.
 The only way the democrats can avoid a vote on the pension bill on Monday is by an adjournment imme- diately after the house convenes. Democratic whips have sent out to appeal to members who are out Of town and by noon on Monday MT. Underwood hopes to have sufficient strength to enable him to run his steam roller over the republican Op- position.

 If it were not for the alleys that in tersect the down town blocks" said R. B. Berryhill last night. T believe I would agree with the council that three standards would be sufficient. But. if I were a property holder on one side of the alley. and they placed the standard on the other. I am sure would have something to say about it.. IL seems to me that the other property holders will look at it in the same way. I can see only one way out of it and that is to put in four standards to the block
 Although F.. P Conway. the repre- sentative of the Barber Asphalt com pany. has taken no part in the light controversy, he explained to the com mission that one of the principle ad- vantages in installing the lights at this time would be the fact that the con- duits for the wires could be laid under the cement or paving with little addi- tional expense. This will make it nee essary for a decision to be reached be- fore the paving begins. In the mean time it is not believed that there will be any serious rupture between the council and the paving commission
 Before leaving for Prescott yesterday NIT. Conway declared himself greatly pleased with the progress of the pay ing work, and spoke in a manner of high cOmmendation of the action both of the council and the commission.

PLUNDERBUND MEM BE Rs

Mexico City, June I7--With the idea of eradicating even the remotest Glen tifico" influence in the present govern- mental machinery or that over which Francisco I. Madero expects to pre- side after the coming general elections, q movement is on foot not only to oust the "Cientificos" and their friends from federal or local offices. hut also to investigate the legality of certain foreign concessions with which some of the Cientificos are said to have been partly identified.
 According to a member of the pres ent cabinet, it is absolutely necessary to renOvate the governmental fabric. cleansing it more particularly of the "Cientificos' than Of the "Porforlstas. the so-called followers of DiaZ. How far the upheaval will extend is not de- fined. but today the Maderoists came into possession of certain information which may effect a change in the direc- ate Of the National Railways of Mexico, the stock of which is controlled by the federal government.
 A photographic copy of the minutes of a meeting of a well known oil com pany has been obtained by Madero's friends, indicating the apportionment of a number of free shares of stock to the directors of the National railways II is alleged that in this manner the oil company secured a monopoly of con- tracts for lubricating oil and federal protection in granting rebates.
 Incidentally, rumors are circulated said. on good authority to be well founded, that the oil company in ques- ton is ondeavoring to sell out to anOth CT company believed to be less likely to be injured by talk of governmental in VestigatiOn.
