atives Yesterday.
A Joyful Day.
Lincoln, Xtb., Feb. 1. The final act
in 1 1 if gnat submission struggle, so far
as tin- hoii.su is concerned, took place
yesterday afternoon, and if the senate
ojicurs in. the amendment, submission
will go to the people in the following
form :
"Shall the manufacture, sale and keep
ing for sale of intoxicating liquors as a
beverage be forever prohibited in the
State;' or, "Shall the manufacture, Bala
or keeping for sale of lirpjors as a bever-
' be licensed and regulated by law."
Wl ten tho bills on third reading were
reached, the clerk named oyer five bills
and senate tile 31. The submission bill
vns not among the number. A cloud of
disappointment (spread over the anxious
faces of the vast audience that packed
the lobby. Iiriuk, of Boone, chairman
of the committee on enrolled and engross
i d bills, ,-irose at this moment and report
ed that senate file 31 was correctly eu-gios-ed.
An involuntary effort at ap
plause whs heard as the clerk announced
tint senate file 31 would now be added
to the hills on third readinrr.
D-
The roll was called on the other meas
ure ami at half past three the speaker
arose and announced that the next bill
was senate file 31 and that it would be
put on the p-i.sage.
Dempster demanded a call of the house
and this being ordered, H ungate, Fuller
wan a uiguer power and asked His
guidance in this critical hour, and now,
on the one hand, if I vote for submission
I shall disregard the instructions of my
constituents. But I have a boy, and that
boy appeals to mo with all a father's
love and tenderness, and as I look in his
face, I feel I owe him a duty higher than
any other, and that is to save him from
an awful fate of a drunkard's life, and
God helping me, I have resolved that if
my vote can give the people a chance to
banish the saloon from our state, that
vwuc wuat may u suu ie Ireely given,
and I change my vote and ask that it be
recorded in favor of this measure."
Tremendous applause greeted this
speech and there was scarcely a dry eye
in all the vast audience, but submission
was not assured. In the midst of this
applause, Wilcox, of Bed Willow, was
seen to stand up, and in words rising
above the din, said:

circumstances deniaud.' He sent word
back that no Americans or American
property would be molested. In a little
j while, though, much tho same tactics
were repeated. There was a meeting of
conculs on board the German war ship
Alder, and at the meeting I said to the
Germans: 'Now just let the natives fight
it out among themselves.' Oh no, they
coulkn't do that,' they said. They had
proclaimed Tamasese king and they
couldn't loave him now to fight it out
alone. I then said, 4 1 will take a hand
in this. If you persist in aiding Tamasese
and fighting for him, I will participate.'
I palled the Adams next to the Adler
and would have done my part in the
fight. I had made up my mind that the
Adams could throw some shells, too. At
this they eased down and promised it
should be 'hands off.'
" Next there were notices posted by
the Germans, stating that tin bridge

reputation he has earned and
made, and while I do not approve this
measure in its present form, yet I will
give it the benefit of the doubt and cast
ray vote in favor of redeeming the pledge
of the party."
Pandemonium broke loose at this
juncture. With one tremendous yell that
fairly raised the- roof, the triumphant
eubmissionists sprang up on chairs, wav
ing coats, hats and handkerchiefs any
thing they could lay their hands on.
Strong men hugged each other and wept.
The galleries responded with shouts and
cheers, and the submissionists for a
moment held undisputed sway.
Slowly Tom Cook began to read the
list and the last man tailed. At .length

When Wilcox was reached he fairly par

names, Winter Williams and Yutzy res
ponded "aye," and the speaker voted
'no," simultaneously with a wild cheer
from the opponents of submission, and
the word was hurriedly paused along,
"only votes hare been recorded for
the measure and it is defeated."
But they rejoiced too soon. McXickle
