sion of the Semite n llnujrOno.
WASIIINOTOX , D. C. , Jan. 19. The greater
part of the day in the house was consumed
In filibustering. Mr. Kilgoro of Texas waste
to the fore. By his dilatory tactics ho
accomplished his object In defeating action
on the bill for the erection of a monument to
the prison ship martyrs , and on the measure
for the construction of revenue cutters for
the Paclflo co.ist. But without opposition a
hill was passed to meet the requirement ot
the Interstate commerce law relative to the
testimony of witnesses.
A bill was passed for the construction of a
bridge across the Mississippi river at Now
Orleans.
The national quarantine bill was the next
in order , hut its opponents succeeded in
staving It ott until Saturday.
The bill providing for sundry lighthouses
and other aids to navigation was called tip.
Mr. Bricknor , dmnoerat , from Wisconsin ,
in charge of the bill , demanded thu previous
question , hut Mr. Kllgoro came to the front
und raised thu point of no quorum.
Tlio previous question was ordered yeas ,
SOU ; nays , 100. The bill was then passed ,
Mr. Patterson , democrat , from Tennessee ,
then called up the senate bill for the con
struction of two United States
revenue- cut
ters for use on the Pacllle coast.
In view of Mr. ICilgoro's opi > ositlon ( as ho
inado the point of no quorum ) the bill was
withdrawn.
* Amendments to Interstate Commerce Act.
Mr. Wise , democrat , from Virginia , then
called up n senate hill concerning testimony
in criminal cases grow lug.out of the inter
state commerce act , with a substitute pro
viding that no person shall bo excused from
attending or testifying before the Interstate
Commerce commission on the ground that
the testimony or evidence may tend to crim
inate him.
The substitute was agreed to , and the bill
as amended was passed without objection.
Mr. Patterson then called up the bill
amending thu interstate- commerce aet. The
report ncrompanying the mcasuro describes
Its provisions. The rc | > ort says that the
bill Is Intended to obviate the construction
which the courts have placed on the words ,
"tho same , line , " us they appear In the
fourth section of the net. They have held
that where several railroads connect , con
stituting ono line , for the transaction of
business , any less number forming in part
the same line , may charge , without violat
ing the law , a greater rate- than Is charged
over the entlro lino. The pooling section of
the act is amended by striking out thu word
"not" and inserting the -words "any con
tract , agreement or arrangement. " It fur
ther provides that railroad companies may
jnnko "contracts , agreements or arrange
ments for apiK > rtlonlng among themselves
tholr trnfllo or their gross or not earnings
under certain conditions , to bo imposed by
the Interstate Commerce commission. " The
Dill further provides that n common
carrier that is a corporation may bo Indicted
tor a violation of any provisions of the act.
Tooling Clause Defeated.
Mr. Llnrt , republican from Minnesota ,
moved to strike out section a of the bill
( which is the section amending the " | > ool-
Ing" section of the original net ) , and Mr.
Patterson expressed his willingness to ac
cent the proposition. But Mr. O'Neill , republican -
publican from Pennsylvania , strenuously oh-
JocUxl. Ho thought that it would destroy
almost the \ \ hole legislation proposed by the
bill. Ho was in favor of giving railroads
privileges of arranging pools that they did
not havu today.
Thu motion was agreed to.
Mr , Detainer , democrat , from Louisiana ,
uu amendment roimriui ; oil rail
ways , common carriers , to accept from
connecting llnoa loaded caw or trains to bo
hauled to the point of delivery at a rate not
exceeding the charge for similar service over
their own lines. Agreed to by a vote of 85
to 58.
The bill was then passed.
The next bill called up was ono reported by
Mr. Storcr , republican , from Ohio , amending
the interstate commerce law. The only ob
ject sought to bo accomplished is to make the
printed and written documents In the posses
sion of the commission admissible as legal
evidence with the furco of similar documents
of the executive and departmental officers of
the government. Passed.

ing the floor a colloquy sprung up In which
"
Mr "Waahburn , republican , from Minnesota ,

Platt as to the likelihood of combinations
among the millers and owners of elevators
was all rubbish.
In reply to questions by Mr. Mills , demo
crat , from Texas , Mr.Vashburn denied that
ho had a dollar Invested in elevators. Ho ad
mitted that elevator companies made largo
profits some years ( sometimes as high ns ! ! 0
or 40 per cent ) , but said that n depression in
prices of grain had nothing to do with It.
After further debate Mr. Washburn said
that as the day had so far progressed ho
felt like withdrawing the request which ho
had made a day or two ago to reach n vote
today. But ho gave notice that tomorrow

sion until n vote was reached.

LANYON'S CASE IN COURT.
Purtl.il Hearing- tlio Matter llpfbre Jiulgo
lierka Yesterday.
The case of the sta.\q \ against S. S. Lan-
yon , who is charged with doing a saloon
business on a druggist's license , occupied
Judge Bcrka's attention yesterday after
noon and u decision was postponed in order
to give the nttorno.vs hn opportunity to sub
mit tholr authorities ! There wcro two
separate complaints tiled against Lanyon ,
Mr. 1C. Kosewatcr being the complainant in
each caso. ' '
The first complaint considered was ono setting
ting forth the fact that Lanyon had sold
liquor tor other than nitldlcinal , mechanical or
sacramental purposes lo P. J. Sullivan on the
13th day of December last. Mr. Sullivan
was the first witness , flml testified to having
visited Lanyon's irimruiudy at 2803 Farnam
street on the day in question , Ho was ac
companied by George 'Dodson , whom ho had
invited in to have a drink. Lanyon was in
the store In itorson at the tlmo , und the wit
ness asked for some ' * lu6od whisky. " The
liquor was furnished without question , and
ho and Dodson each took n diink. A minute
or two after they hud n second drluk , und
then left the store , after paying for the
bavorago. Sullivan positively identified
Lanyon ns the man who dispensed the liquor.
George B. Dodson , a teamster , who resides
at 2Ti27 Bristol street , was the next witness ,
and his testimony corroborated that of the
previous witness in every particular. Ho
had gone into the drugstore with Mr. Sulli
van , und at thu request of the latter Mr.
I .any on had produce * ! n bottle and glasses
and sold them two drinks each of M hlsky ,
which they drank and which Sullivan paid
for. On cross-examination both witnesses
stated that Lanyon furnished the whisky
without question and that nothing was said
by cither party about being sick.
The state rested , und after n whispered
consultation the defense decided not to offer
uny evidence in rebuttal und the other com
plaint was taken up. In this case the offense
charged was committed on Sunday , Decent-
bcr 13. The llrst witness stated thut ho had

frono to Lanyon's pharmacy on that day with
a frluml , who : lsncd fora drink of brandy.
A woman was In charpo of the store at the
tlmo and she produced the Cram without ro-
inurk. The witness saw Ills companion
drink the liquor and pay for it and was
positive that the clerk did not ask the cus
tomer his mime or if the liquor was wanted
for sickness. Nothing was said about being
sick by cither party.
The man who drank the brandy was called
to the stand and related the same facts , ilo
said nothing about hcinfj sick when ho ob
tained the liquor , and the clerk asked uo
questions except to inquire If ho wanted n
glass of water after the dram , which the
witness refused. Mr. Lanyon's bister , who
was in the court room , was idcntllicd as the
woman who sold the biandy.
Counsel for the defcnso made a motion to
dismiss the ciso because it had not been
shown that Lanyon's sister was an employe
or agent of the druggist. The prosecuting
attorney held that the principal was
responsible for the acts of his employes ,
and cited authorities. Ho ulso quoted
u supreme court decision regarding the sale
of whisky oven when mixed with quinine or
Jamaica ginger. In this case the supron\p
court hold that the defendants were only
evading the law by hanging out a druggist's
sign. As both attorneys wanted to produce
authorities the court gave them until next
Tuesday to make their filings.
MORE PBOTESTS MADE.
Woodworkers Denounce the Council' * Ac
tion lu the 1'rliitlng Contract.
A strong effort Is bcinij made by the
emergency committee of the Central Labor
union to have the city council reconsider its
action in awarding the city printing to
Klopp & Bartlett. The council has been
asked to readvertiso for bids. The state
ment Is persisted in by W. B. Mussor that
when bids wcro first opened the council
printing committee said the Ornaliu Printing
company was the lowest bidder , Klopp &
Bartlott's being the lowest on blank books
only.
The International Woodworkers union held
a meeting last night and adopted resolutions
denouncing the council's action In awarding
the contract to an unfair shop. It is moro
than probable that every union in the city
will take similar action , and n general kick
from organized labor will result. Council
man Elsassor denies Mr. Mussor's statement
and said the committee merely reported the
facts as it found them and recommended the
adoption of Klopp & Bartlott's bid. It is
fuither alleged that the successful linn was
allowed to see the bids of others and then
cut their bid 150.
Concliuli'il Its Session.

hood has concluded Us sessions and has ad

WORKING AN OLD DODGE.
Arrest of Two ? Ion AVlio Were 11 } Ing the
Itulllo Tor n Oolil WntcliOnino.
Tom and James Hill spent last night In
Jail on the charge of being suspicious characters -
actors , and the police think that they made
a good catch when they took the Hills in out
of the cold.
The pair were working the town on a sym
pathetic scheme and had mot with con
siderable success. They were selling tickets
for the ralllo of a gold watch , the proceeds to
go to the mother of Brakcman Murray , who
was supposed to have been killed by the
cars. Murray is a myth and the gold watch
mentioned has never been mado. Besides
having a big supply of ratllo tickets , which
wcro sold for 50 cents , a lot of other plunder
which proved the men to bo smooth swindlers
was also captured.
Both men had cards showing a paid up
membership in the Yardmastcrs Mutual
Benefit association and it was by the means _
of those forged certificates that the swindlers'
worked the railroad men A seal and n lot
of blank bencgt association cards were found
among the effects of the prisoners and also
some old cards showing that "Brakoman
Murray" was killed In 1800. In 1801 and 1803.
The pollco will try and have the pur
chasers of some of the tickets prosecute the
swindlers.

You're Losing

every day that you try to worry along

it's done safely.
Where you lose is in time and labor. Pearl
