2 DIVIDED BY MANY FACTIONS Modification of Towa's Liquor Law Raising Many 8Side Issues. LOCAL OPTION FAVORITES FIGHTING & for the Resubmision of the Prohibitory Amendment to th People Wil Killed by & Peculiar Combination Resolution Vro March 14.(—Special Tele- The local option DES MOINES, gram to The Bee) republicans in both houses have suc- ceeded in tylng up the resofution providing for resubmission, and are using this to force their prohibition brothren into line. While the pending mulct bill may get through the house by a scratch, It is certain to meet its death in the te, at least fourteen republican senators, includ- ing all of the radical prohibitionists, will re- fuse to give it their support. On the other hand, should the local option bill now be the senate pass that body, ¥t will be over- whelmingly defeated in the house. The fourteen republicans In the senate who an- nounce themselves as unalterably opposed to any form of mulct that would afford p tection to the saloon keeper are: Andrews, Chantry, Cheshire, Conaway, Eaton, Fiun, Gorrell, Henderson, Jamison, Jewett, Kil- burn, Palmer, Phelps and Rowen. Added to these are Perrin, Turner and Vale, who are classed as doubtful. These sen- ators are perfectly willing to pass a law providing for some additional penaities, but this offer is spurned by the members from the river countles, who declare such a law would be only adding Insult to inju That a bill drafted by the joint committee of democrats and local option republicans would pass the senate is conceded. The democrats arc sixteen in number, and eleven republic: Carpenter, Cralg, Ellls, Funk, Lehfeldt, Rea, Riggen, Upton, and Waterman, could be relied upon to unite with theni In this emergency and this would give the measure a margin of just one vote. Rea, Reynolds and Penrose, how- ever, would probably assist in passing the bill. But when the bill reaches the lower house it would be instantly pigeon-holed by a hos- tile committee, who, under the rules, could hold it for ten days. Even if the bill should be brought squarely before the house for passage the chances would bo against it It would require in addition to the possible twenty-one democratic votes the support of at least thirty republicans. It would be tolerably certain to receive the votes in this contingency of Blanchard, Burnquist, Byers, Chapman, Chassell, Crow, Davison, Endi- cott, Gurley, Kfemme, Lauder, Morris of Sioux, McQuinn, Myerley, Nictert, Root, Sawyer, Steen, Smith, Trewin, Weaver and Speaker Stone. The measure Is thus practically assured of forty-three votes or within eight of a constitutional majority. The chances of securing these necessary votes are very remote. Only thirteen others are left who have not identified themselves with the radical element. hese - are Brinton of Hamilton, Cornwall of Clay, Davis of Cass, Barly of Sac, Ellison of Jones, Gris- wold' of Buchanan, Hoover of Black Hawk, Horton of Keokuk, Milliman of rison, Nicoll of Ida, Pattison of Fayette, Sessions of Kossuth, Young of Delawarc and Young of Calhoun. These members are still hop- ing, almost against hope, that some agree- ment can yet be 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 re- fusal to follow Reed's ruling and ‘“count a quorum.” He finally counted three members with their consent. The motion to recon- sider the vote by which section 18 was stricken out of the mulet Lill was the first business taken up in tho lower [house. Chassell and Morrlson warned the prohibi- tionists that unless this motion prevailed the bill was virtually dead. On the roll call Mr. Cornwall, who dodged yesterday, voted aye and he was joined by Doane and Weaver, who deserted the radicals for the first time, and the motion prevailed, 37 to 33. Mr. Allen then offered an amendment requiring 66 per cent of legal voters of a county to a license petition. Chassell and Davison 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 Lo strike out the section as amended by 35 to 31. Further amendments will be proposed and the bill will be perfected tomorrow. The senate continued the consideration of the local option bill. Senator Kilburn led the debate against the bill.

In the event of failure, then the party wa pledged to modification. Senator Harsh, in reply, ald that he had always been re garded as a radical prohibitionist, but he had been reluctantly compelled to admit that the present law in many portions of the state was a deplorable failure, and the party had given its solemn pledge to modify the law to n t existing conditions. Thi bill not his personal choice, but he had sub ordinated his personal views to the good of the party, and would give the measure his cordial support Senator Rowen of Wright then took the floor and proceeded to analyze the thirteenth plank. He held that it should be construe in the light of the past record of the part and that the pledge to the prohibitionists to maintain this law where it can be en- forced should be kept sacred Senator Carpenter, the author of the bill, defended tlie measire at length, He said the life of the republican party was at stake. If the party proved faithl to Its promises the enraged, Indignant and betrayed people would rise i their might and thrust it from power at the next election. Senator Eaton of Fremoat said the law had been enforced in his distriet and the people did not want it repealed. e denied that the change in the platform in respect to prohibition had any thing to do with party success at the last eleetion. Sonator Upton of Howard spoke in favor of the bill as being clearly in harmony with the party platform. A vote on the bill may possibly be reached tomorrow. A bill w introduced by Senator Brower authorizing railread companies now existing or that may be hereafter organized under the laws of this state, to provide for bondholders taking t and voting at the meeting of the atockhnlders. \ elegant bouquet graced the seat of ator Brower, bearing the inseription ‘rom the rman-American ladies of Des Moines to tha able defenders of truth, justic and personal rights.

THE OMAHA BOYCOTT THE UNION PACIFIC Western Passenger Association Roads Pre- paring to Spring Another Bensation, FOR SPECIFIC BREACHES OF AGREEMENT Many Charges of Had Faith and Crooked Dealing Made Northwestern n Al eral Demoralization I Are Tnvolvi CHICAGO, March 14.—(Special to The Bee.)—The next sensation is a threatened boycott of the Unlon Pacific by the Western Passenger assoclation lines. One 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 Unlon acific by the associated roads. Were such a demand made it is claimed the chairman would have no recourse but to issue the order. The charges against the Union Pacific are of such a nature that he would be compeiled to act were he satisfied that they were well founded. They of direct and specific breaches of agreement and are entirely dif- ferent fromh® those made by the nta Fe against the Southern Pacific. The Unfon Pa- cific is accused of rate cutting and the illegal payment of commissions in a way likely to ate wholesale demoralizations within as- sociation territory, and in a way that as- soclation roads nust b the irect and principal sufferers. Several roads have al- ready been boycotted on just such charges, and the only chance of escape the Union Pacific would have would be to disprove tho charges made against it The issuance of a hoycott order against it would at once show where the Northwest- ern and the Alton stand in relation to its acts. Should they refuse to obey the order, it would be 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. Telegram in order t Texas Busmess. Demoralization in passenger rates seems to be the ruling feature of the hour. Chi- cago roads have commenced to shave rates to an extent that promises to cause wide- spread dissatisfaction and now comes the staid and very conservative Blkhorn, 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 and 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 Ga ble coralled the Te. 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, which is a trick 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 Merchants National bank building, in which the Elk- horn offices are situated, and rounded them up in General Manager Buchanan's private office, where the men were fixed with tick- ets to Texa In view of the fact that a rival road offered three free tickets for the party in the event the business could be secured over its lines, and the officlals were met with a prompt refusal on the ground that another road would do better, the inference s that the Elkhorn, which se- cured the business, was in a better condition to muke larger inducements, While Mr. Munn denies that there was anything crooked with the transaction It is ‘rumored that the “low joints” will put Mr. Munn on the rack now that he is not secretary of the local passenger agreement. It would he the irony of fate should Munn be convicted in an’ ussociation over Which he presides.

Mr. Henry Labouchere, the radical Jeader said that the amendment to abolish the veto power of the House of Lords, which wa passed yesterday, was not intended as a vote of want of confidence in the govern- ment, but it was intended to quicken their action in the execution of what the ma- Jority of thefr supporters in the country demanded.

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 House of Lords, The government fully accepted the declarations made on the subject by M Gladstone in the House of Commons.

Mr. Balfour denied that he had ever said that the House of Lords should control the House of Commons and called attention to the fact that ninety unionists yesterday evening supported the government against thirty Gladstonians who voted in opposition to the government. Mr. Labouchere, who followed, 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.
