LOCAL OPTION FAVORITES FIGHTING
Itcflolutlon Providing for tlm Itmubmlimlon
of the I'rohlbltory Amendment to tlio
JVopIn Ulll lln Killed by n
1'cciillnr Combination.
DHS MOINEfl , March 14. ( Special Tele-
firam to The Hoc. ) The local option
republicans In both houses have suc
ceeded In tying up the resofutlon
providing for rcsubtnlsslon , and are
using this to force their prohibition brethren
Into line. Whllo the pending mulct bill may
get through the house by u scratch. It Is
certain to meet Its death In the senate , as
at least fourteen republican senators , Includ
ing all of the radical prohlbltloilHts , will refuse -
fuse to give It their support. in ) the other
hand , should the local option bill now before
the senate pass that body , It will be over
whelmingly defeated In thu houso. The
fourteen republicans In the senate who announce -
nounco themselves as unalterably opposed
to any form of mulct that would afford pro
tection to the saloon keeper are : Andrew u ,
Chantry , Cheshire , Conaway , Eaton , Kiwi ,
Oorrell , Henderson , Jamison , Jowctt , Kll-
Inirn , Palmer , Phclps and Rowon. Added
to these nro Porrln , Turner nnd Vale ,
who are classed as doubtful. These sen
ators are perfectly willing to pass a law
providing for some additional penalties , but
this offer Is spurned by the members from
the river counties , who declare such a law
would bo only adding Insult to injury. That
a bill diaftcd by the joint committee of
democrats and local option republicans
would pass the ncnato Is conceded. The
democrats are sixteen In number , and eleven
republicanIlrovvcr , Carpenter , Craig , Ellis ,
Punk , Garst , Lchfcldt , Rea , Rlggen , Upton ,
and Waterman , could bo relied upon to
unite with them In this emergency and this
would give the measure a margin of just
ono vote. Ilca , Reynolds and Penrose , however -
over , would probably assist In passing the
bill.
bill.Hut
Hut when the bill reaches the lower house
It would bo Instantly pigeon-holed by a hos-
tllo committee , who , under the rules , could
hold It for ten days. Even if the bill
should bo brought squarely before the house
for passage the chances would bo against It.
It would require In addition to the possible
twonty-ono democratic votes the support of
at least thirty republicans. It vvould be
tolerably certain to rccolvo the votes In this
contingency of Blanclmrd , Durnqulst , Ilycrs ,
Chapman , Clmssell , Crow , Davlson , Endl-
cott , Gurley , Kfcmme , Lauder , Morris of
Sioux , McQulnn , Mycrley , Nictert , Root ,
Sawyer , Steen , Smith , Trewln , Weaver
and Speaker Stone. The measure is thus
practically assured of fortythreeotes or
within eight of n constitutional majority.
The chances of securing these negessary
votes are very romote. Only thirteen others
are left who have not Identified themselves
with the radical clement. These -ara
Ilrlnton of Hamilton , Cornwall of Clay , Davis
of Cess , Early of Sac , Ellison of Jones , Grls-
woltl * of Buchanan , Hoover of Ulack Hawk ,
Horton of Keokuk , Mllllman of Harrison ,
Nlcoll of Ida , Pattlson of Fa > cite , Sessions
of Kossuth , Young of Delaware and Young
of Calhoun. These members are still hopIng -
Ing , almost against hope , that some agree
ment can yet bo reached by the republicans
and some modification passed as a party
measure.
IN A PARLIAMENTARY TANGLE.
The house got Into a parliamentary tangle
this morning owing to Speaker Stone's refusal -
fusal to follow Reed's ruling and "count a
quorum. " Ho finally counted three members
With their consent. The motion to recon
sider tlfo vote by which section 18 was
stricken out 6C tbo mulct bill was the first
business taken up In the lower ( house.
Chossell and Morrison warned the prohibi
tionists that unlesn this motion prevailed
the bill was virtually dead. On the roll call
Mr. Cornwall , who dodged yesterday , voted
aye and he was joined by Doano ami Weaver ,
who deserted the radicals for the first time ,
and tbo motion prevailed , 37 to S3. Mr.
Allen then offered an amendment requiring
C5 per cent of legal voters of a county to a
license petition. Chassell and Davlson de
clared this was unjust as It made one pro
hibition voter equal to two who favored
license. The amendment , however , prevailed
by 32 to 16 , and the house refused to strike
out the section as amended by 3 ! > to 31.
Further amendments will be proposed nnd
the bill will bo perfected tomorrow.
The senate continued the consideration of
the local option bill. Senator Kllburn led
the debate against the bill. Ho declared

that the platform pledge did not mean local
option or any form of lcgalllng tha saloon ,
He bolloved that prohibition could bo en
forced on every foot of Iowa , toll , and that
the party was pledged to make an honest
and determined effort to enforce the law.
In the event of failure , then the party was
pledged to modification. Senator Harsh , In
reply , said that ho had always been re
garded as a radical prohibitionist , but he had
bcon reluctantly compelled to admit that the
present law In many portions of the state
wni a deplorable failure , and the party had
given Its solemn pledge to modify tlio law
to meet existing conditions. This bill was
not his personal choice , but ho had sub
ordinated his personal views to the good o (
the party , and would give the measure his
cordial support.
Senator Rowcn of Wrlsht then look the
floor nnd proceeded to nnalyra the thirteenth
plank. Ho held that It should be construed
In thu light of the past record of the party ,
nnd that the plcdgo to the prohibitionists
to maintain this law vvhcro It can bo en
forced should be kept sacred.
Senator Carpenter , the author of the bill ,
defended the measure at length , Hu said
the life of the republican party was nt stake.
If the party proved faithless to Its promises
the enraged , Indignant and betrayed people
would rlno In their might and thrust It from
power at the next election. Senator Eaton nl
Fremont said the law had been enforced In
hli district nnd the people did not want It
repealed. He denied that the change In the
platform In respect to prohibition had any
thing to do with party success at the last
election. Senator Upton of Howard spoke In
favor of the bill ai being clearly In harmony
with the party platform. A vote on the bill
may possibly bo reached tomorrow ,
A bill w.is Introduced by Senator IJrower
authorizing rallruvl companies now existing ,
or that may bo hereafter organized under the

BOYCOTT THE UNION PACIFIC
Western Passenger Association Rends Pre
paring to Spring Another Sensation.
FOR SPECIFIC BREACHES OF AGREEMENT
Many Charges of Iliul I'ultli nnil Crooked
Drilling Mndn Northwentcrn nnd
Alton Are Involved ( Iriierul
Demoralization Imminent.
CHICAGO , March II. ( Special Telegram
to The Dee. ) The next sensation In order
Is a threatened boycott of the Union Pacific
by the Western Passenger association lines.
Ono of the roads now has the matter under
consideration and may make a demand upon
the chairman at any time for an order sus-
pend'ng all business relations with the Union
Pacific by the associated roads. Were such
n demand made It Is claimed the chairman
would have no recourse but to Issue the
order.
The charges against the Union Pacific nro
of such a nature that ho would bo compelled
to act were ho satisfied that they were wtll
founded. They are of direct and specific
broaches of agreement nnd nro entirely dif
ferent from those made by the Santa Fe
ngnlnst the Southern Pacific. The Union Pa
cific Is accused of rate cutting and the Illegal
payment of commissions In a way likely to
create wholesale demoralizations within as
sociation territory , and In a way that as
sociation roads must bo the direct and
principal sufferers. Several roads have al
ready been boycotted on just such charges ,
nnd the only chance of escape the Union
Pacific would have would bo to disprove the
charges made against It.
The Issuance of a boycott order against It
would nt once show where the Northwest
ern and the Alton stand In relation to Its
acts. Should they refuse to obey the ordr ,
It would bo taken as meaning that their con
tracts with the Union Pacific prevented them ,
and they were more loyal to their connec
tions than to the association. Their refusal
to obey would mean the disruption of the
association beyond redemption , and probably
a general and bitter passenger rate war.
How MIIIIII ( lot 'IVxns
Demoralization In passenger rates seems
to bo the ruling feature of the hour. Chicago
cage roads have commenced to shave rates
to an extent that promises to cause wide
spread dissatisfaction nnd now comes the
Btiilil and very conservative Elkhorn , so
the story goes , to take a hand In the general
unsettled condition by still further demoral
izing business. It Is a trite saying that
when the cat's away the mice will play
nnd this has been exemplified by the rather
peculiar manner In which Assistant General
Passenger Agent James W. Munn of the
Elkhorn secured a section of Texas business
Monday. Traveling Passenger Agent Gable -
blo coralled the Texas contingent some
where along the line of his road and
brought fifteen Hooslers Into town. Fear
ful , however , least the party might be split
up , whlchlsatncK passenger agents of rival
lines resort to when they can't get the whole
of the business , Gable packed the whole fif
teen Into the elevator In the Mei chants
National bank building , In which the Elkhorn -
horn offices are situated , and rounded them
up In General Manager Buchanan's private
ofllco , where the men were fixed with tick
ets to Texas. In view of the fact that a
rival road offered three free tickets for the
party in the event the business could bo
secured over Its lines , and the officials
were met with a prompt refusal on the
ground that another road would do better ,
the Inference Is that the Elkhorn , which secured -
cured the business , was In a better condition
to make larger Inducements.
While Mr , Munn denies that there was
anything crooked with the transaction It
Is rumored that the ' , ' 'ow ' joints" will put
Mr. Munn on the' rack now that ho is not
secretary of the local passenger agreement.
It vvould bo the Irony of'fato should Munn
bo convicted 'in ari ash'bciatlpn over Which
ho presides.
Tuesday the demand for Texas excursion
tickets was quite lively , nearly all the offices
reporting good sales.

LONDON. Mnrch II. The Irish parlia

When the House of Commons mot today
Sir William Harconrt , chancellor of the ex
chequer , announced that the government
h.ul ilucldcil to move the rejection of the
amended address In reply to the queen's
speech , when It Is put from tlm chair anil
to substitute another short address In reply.
HI. lion. A. J. Ilalfour , the conservative
leader In the house , and lit. linn. Joseph
Chamberlain , the unionist leader , assured
the government of their support In this mat
ter , but Mr. Chamberlain milled that the
proceedings showed It was time that the
government asked their constituencies for a
fresh mandate.
Mr. Henry Laboiichorc , the radical leader ,
said that the amendment to abolish thueto
power of the House of Lords , which was
passed Jesterday , was not Intended as a
vote of want of confidence In the KO\em
inent , but It was Intended to quicken their
action In tha execution of what the ma
jority of their supporters In the country
demanded. Mr. Labouchcrc added that the
majority of yesterday evening was the best
they wore likely to get , and therefore they
would not oppose a substitute for the ad
dress.
The IIouso of Commons was densely
crowded when Sir William Hnrcourt an
nounced that the government proposed to
move the rejection of the amended address
During the course of his remarks the
chancellor of the exchequer said that It was
a proceeding for which the government
made themselves responsible. They could
not formally present the sovereign with a
document for which they were not pre
pared to accept the entire responsibility.
The avowed object of the amendment In
corporated In the address was to raise a
definite form of action to be taken by the
House of Commons In resisting the action
of the IIouso of Lords. The government
fully accepted the declarations made on the
subject by Mr. Gladstone in the House of
Commons. ( Loud cheers ) .
Sir William added that ho had stated
yesteiday that the government proposed to
oppose Mr. Dalfour's doctilne that the House
of Commons was to be subject to the con
trol of the House of Lords. ( Renewed
cheers ) The government was not prepared ,
to follow Mr. Labouchero's advice and create
500 now peers. In order to make the
government directly responsible he ( Sir Wil
liam ) vvould move a new address as soon as
the amendments were disposed of and the
present address negatived. ( Cheers and
laughter. )
Mr. Dalfour denied that he had over said
that the House of Lords should control the
EIouso of Commons and called attention to
the fact that ninety unionists yesterday
evening supported the government agilnst
thirty Oladstonlans who voted In opposition
to the government.
Mr. Labouchere , who followed , was re
ceived with Ironical cheers and laughter
throughout the course of his remarks "You
may withdraw this address. " he said , "and
bring In another ; but the first one remains
the decision of the house. Wo are the rep
resentatives of the people , and the govern
ment are our representatives. I do not
recognize that the government are my mas
ters. I always regarded them as the ser
vants of the majority of. tha House
Whether you take the majority on this sldo
of the House or the views of the majority of
liberals outside the House they are with mo
in this matter , and demand prompt , speedy
and drastic action. ( Radical cheers. ) Out-
sldo the House I do not care whether you
abolish or destroy the House of Lords. "
rinnlly the House of Commons rejected
the amended address in reply to the queen's
speech and passed the address substituted
by Sir WUUam Harcourt.
The Globe this afternoon reports that a
startling meptlng between Sir William Vernon -
non Harcourt and Lord Ros > cbery took placa
: oday. The Globe- says that If the two dls-
: lngulshed statesmen did not quarrel they at
cast told each other some hard farts. It
B stated that there IK no doubt that yester
day evening's demonstration was Intended to
je a demonstration against Lord Uosebery
and that the latter is said to be fully aware
of this fact.
