Liberals Win Closure Debate
and Squelch Attack on the
Chancellor.
ID Disappointed Orangemen Post
pOne Their ROwdy
Outbreaks.
HOME RULE BEFORE CHRISTMAS

Reviewing the growing appre-
hension of a European war that can
not be localized and may bring
Austria and Russia into the field
and perhaps others, T. p. O'Connor
thus views the home rule struggle
as 1t stands at present:
In the meantime at home our own
fierce political struggle gains passion
with every hour. There also il is a
war without quarter on one side or
the other. The Government is de-
termined to use the closure and
every other recourse to pass the
home rule bill by Christmas, while
the Orangemen still declare that
Ulster will make civil war. The Gov
ernments stock has gone up with
every hour since Parliament reas-
sembled. The Orangemen appearedV
in the Commons subdued and de-
spondent and made comparatively
mild speeches, while Premier AS
quith was cheered to the echo by
every Liberal when he declared that
home rule will be carried by the
Commons before Christmas and into
a law during the lifetime of the
present Parliament.
A further sign of the present tenn
per OF the Liberal party is that the
attendance is splendid, for from the
minute that the House rises to the
minute it separates nearly every
member remains inside the Parlia-
ment building. Percy Illingworth,
the new Government whip, signalizes
his accession to office and marks his
view of the seriousness OF the situa-
ton, and above all the necessity OF
constant attendance in the House or
Commons, by inducing a suspension
OF the great land campaign which
Lloyd-George has been preparing for
months, and also by calling off every
p sss IN The Ssst i've We,
the House does not sit.
The Labor members still are COM
PEELED to send some of their numbers
out of London to settle trade dis
pHtes and to attend labor confer
ences, but otherwise they show equal
ardor with the Liberals and Irish to
attend every sitting and support the
Government on every division. The
debate on the closure resolutionN
went steadily in favor of the Govcr
ment, and the Orangemen d.
pointed their rabid supporters
postponing their rowdy outt
and removal by the police.
The triumph in the home
bate was followed by the q
defeat of another even M
midable campaign against
eminent. For months Il
journalists and politicians
simulated that Chancellor
George and Rufus Isaacs, I IA
ney General, have gained
of pounds by speculations

passed through an epo a
gambling spell. This

brother of Isaacs is the

Marconi company had got a W.
contract from the Government.
Herbert Samuel, the Postmastee
General, answered all OF these
charges in a speech which left every
assailant speechless and swept the
Liberals with storm of anger and
relief. This triumph puts an end to
the hope that the Tories will over
throw the Government by eonvicting
them of corrupt practices and Lloyd
George once more smiles at the
malignant impotence of his innumer-
able and powerful enemies to destroy
him and the Liberal Ministry,

AUTO AND CYCLE CRASH

Owatonna, June 25.-Miss Laura
Lynn. daughter of Mrs. Leonora Lynn,
was the victim of sensational col
lision between motorcycle and an
automobile Sunday evening at a
little after seven o'clock. Miss Lynn.
was enjoying the novelty of a ride
on the front of Owen Ions motor
cycle at the time, both being en-
ployed at the Walter Finch home in
Clinton Falls. Long was driving his
motorcycle west on Rose street, be-
tween Elm and Grove, and attempted
to make the turn to north on Elm
street while running at pretty high
speed. C. E. Heathman was at the
moment approaching the corner, go,
ing south on Elm, and Long was up=.
able to cut his quarter circle turn
short enough to clear Mr.. Heath
mans machine. Mr.. Heathman, who
was going at very moderate pace.
turned clear into the ditch and
against the curb in an effort to
avoid the collision, but the motor
cycle crashed heavily into ne for
ward end of the left fender of The
automobile. Miss Lynn was thrown
against the front of the auto with
terrific force, and for a time it was
feared that she was fatally injured.
She was taken in passing macine
to the nearest doctor where it was
finally determined that she would be
best off at home, where she was ac-
cordinely taken. She was severely
bruised all over, and the question
OF serious internal injuries will have
to be determined later. Long was

ADOPTING THE DECLARATION.
How the Immortal Document Was Put
Through Continental Congress.

How the Immortal Document Was Put
Through Continental Congress.
A THOUGH the Fourth is the day
"a that is celebrated by many as
that on which the immortal
Declaration of Independence was sign
ed. sealed and promulgated, as mat
ter of fact such is not true. The
great document was read to the people
on the Fourth after having been ap-
proved by congress. but it was not
signed on that day.
On July 2 Jefferson presented for
adoption the immortal Declaration aft
er congress had adopted a resolution
presented by Richard Henry Lee Of
Virginia, which had been placed before
the body on June Z. 1776:
Resolved. That these united colonies are
and of right ought to be free and indie
pendent states: that they are absolved
from all allegiance to the British crown
and that all political connection between
them and the state of Great Britain is and
ought to be totally dissolved.
This resolution was debated for near
ly a month. and, owing to the absence
of Lee, who had been called home, the
defense Of it fell on his colleague. JEFF
ferSon. 1t needed defense. for in that
congress were able men who opposed
it's passage and revolution. Great.
therefore, is Americas debt to Jeffer-
son and Lee. On July Lees resolu-
ton was adopted, and Jefferson's draft
of the Declaration was adopted on
July 4. 1776.
John Hancock. president Of congress.
and Charles Thompson. its secretary.
Immediately signed the document and
became thus the first official traitors
from an English point of view. 1t was
made public to the citizens by John
Nixon. who read it to the citizens OF
Philadelphia in Independence square.
On July - it was ordered to be en-
crossed. and on this being done the sign
ers appended their names on Aug. 2.
Meanwhile there had been some
changes in the personnel of congress-
John Dickinson, Edward Biddle. Thorn
as Willing and Charles Humphreys Of
Pennsylvania fought the Declaration.
and the commonwealth sent Benjamin
Franklin. Robert Morris, George Ross
and James Wilson to congress In their
places to sign the great paper.

task in clearing the wreck. The Mil.
waukee force was busily engaged at
the west end of the wreck, while the
Burlington wreckers were engaged IN
righting the engine and the wreckage
on the east end Of the pile-up.
Much interest was evinced by thou
sands OF people throughout the day IN
watching the wrecking crews clear the
wreckage away from the Rock Island
tracks which were blocked from $3.50
a. M, until late in the day. The Of
ficials of the three roads located in Of
tumwa were present and assisted In
directing the work of clearing the
wreck. The engine was r1ghted about
8 p. M, and an hour later was placed
on the Rock Island track ready to be
towed away. The various cargoes
were removed from damaged cars and
the cars picked up bodily by the huge
derricks and hoisted out Of the way.
BY the combined efforts Of the two
wrecking crews, the Rock Island tracks
were cleared and new rails laid re-
placing the damaged rails by 500 p.
M, and traffic restored on the Rock
Island. The Milwaukee wrecking
crew Is busy today In finishing UP the
job on its own derail siding where
some of the cars and considerable de-
bris is collected. The entire wreck
will lie cleared away by evening.
Thought it Was Cyclone.
Aroused from their slumbers by the
rumblings OF the wrecked cars and the
crashing of the big carriage car
against outbuildings the Lundgren
family thought a cyclone had struck
their vicinity when the wreck occur

was asleep was on the southwest side
of the house and the wrecked box car
stopped it's noisy progress toward the
house just ten feet away from the win
dow Of this bed room.
1--WE were not shaken out Of bed"
said Mrs. eLundgren, "but the rattle Of
the car and the noise of crashing
against the summer kitchen and sheds
made us think it was a cyclone or an
earthquake. The dishes in the pantry
ratified and the house wavered. We
were too frightened to think OF what
was happening"
Thought Lundgrens Killed.
Mrs. E, J. Ekwall, who lives with
her family next to the Lundgrens was
not frightened by the wreck, as she was
awake at the time. The carriage car

house passed through he Ekwall yard
