the churches and do not prohibit the asa
of liquors at entertainments of organ 1-

in. either house aimed at the
"drinking" of liquor.- Whether evea
with Its amendments ft eaa be gotten
through in the remainder of the session
is doubtful. Had the pros accepted earlier
the amendments suggested tha bill
would have passed.
The senate finally passed the express
shipment bill providing that the books
of express companies and other common
carriers shall be open to public inspec-
tion and requiring the purchaser of liquor
shipped by express to call for It in per-
son within seven days after shipment.
! . ! HOUSE Bn.LeT" POSTPONED ' f
In tha . housa a number of bills were
killed by postponement The sjuart law
bill tha 6m prohibiting tha drinking of
liquor oa tbe premises where sold and
the "wagon yard" bill were an Indefinite-
ly postponed. Tbe Loney bllL prohibit-
big the aalo or giving away of liquor In
houses of prostitution was advanced to
engrossment as was Reedy'a bill regu-
lating the sale of Intoxicants under pre-
scription. Briscoe's "aati-traatlng bill
was advanced to second reading but -received
too late a start ta become en-
acted into law. In the senate it would
be caught by the steam roller even
though it should pass tha housa early
tomorrow morning.
While it was In ths postponing business
the house Indefinitely deferred action oa
the . Looney election bill providing for
nomination by a majority' In a second pri-
mary and on the Adams bill which vir-
tually provides for an educational quali-
fication for voters. It la understood that
the idea of disfranchlalng Confederate
veterans la responsible for ths virtual de-
feat of tha last mentioned bill.
MOLLBR'S BILLS WILL FAIL.
Tha bill of lading measure wis passed
by ths housa but failed to secure the con-
sideration of the senate. The "spider"
bill a written fWill never pass tha senate.
When motion' was made today to sus-
jead tha regular order so aa to permit
tne ui u do consider ea ay tne senate :
the requisite four-fifths vote was not
forthcoming. It was learned lata tonight
that the senators object flatly to the in-
forming Idea of the bill namely that the
compressors should be held responsible
for a defective bale even though It might
have been damaged while in ears of the
railroad or steamship companies.
Tonight the housa calendar is ardo-
tloally clear. There are pending only a ;
vary few local measures and some amend-
ments which can easily be hapdled in tha
remaining time . ; -t

Terrell moved the tabling of the motion
but later withdrew It. Mr. Loonev ex-
plained that Judge Fltsgerald of Tyler
Instrumental In drawing the bill was con-
densing tha bill and by S o'clock would
have It In a form that Would be accept-
able to the antts -who express a desire
to see ' looai option laws enforced hi
said the bill could be easily passed this
afternoon snd that If the senators were
sineere In- their -desire to aee the local

Resenting the Imputation of the speaker
that the antla were not sincere In their
sxpresslons in favor of strict enforce-
ment of local option laws Mr. Crisp
asked If the antls "would leave the proa
free In dry territory the pros would ac-
cord them tbe same privilege in wet ter-

let us alone but you won't do that: you

Loonev. When aaked if the Reedy bill
were not too stringent Mr. Looney re-
plied that Prohibition laws could not be
made too -rigid for him.

noon so as to reduce the number of It
provisions and to remove some of the
objections raised by the anti-prohibitionists

Vote of IS to a. The principal change In
the amendment provides that ths appli-

AUSTIN. Texas August M. Senator F.
C. Welnert of Guadalupe favors ths
adoption of the indeterminate sentence
for the handling af criminals in Texas.
He also favors giving the board of par-'
don advisers authority to visit the penal
Institutions ones each year for ths pur-
pose of ascertaining what Inmates are de-
serving of pardon. Under the present
system the pardon machinery has to be
started by means of a formal application
presented- by ths friends of the Impris-
oned. Senator Welnert tt' will be recalled
was on ths penitentiary - Investigation
committee and has therefore had occa-
sion to learn ths nseds of the penal sys-
tem of Texas. He has carefully investi-
gated tha workings of ths Indeterminate
sentence In certain Northern States and
has become firmly convinced thatsuch
a system -would be beneficial In Texas.
Steps may be taken to put Into effect
tbe ideas of the senator from Guadalupe.

- AUSTIN Texas: August 11 Without an
gratmant upoa aay point of difference
the conference committee on the Insur-
soe bill adjourned at Ift Vetoes: fonigt
until I o'clock tomorrow morning. Tha
members were tired and Jaded and ex
tressed - tha balisf that after theyjmd
rested and slept ever tha matter 'that
the question of aa agreement . would
doubtless be mora easily reached. While
far from an agreement oa tha crux af
tha whole situation the members of the
house committee declared that they would
"Port .an agreement back to the bouse
when it convenes at I o'clock tomorrow
morning.
Here lg the bone of contention whloh
has barred ail progress: The house wants
an absolute rate oa fire Insurance fixed
by the fire rating board this absolute
late to be different for the different
classes of risks and to be based upon
the actual coat of carrying that risk
with a reesonabla profit to the eompaalea
Thsj senate wants a maximum rats
by the board with the companies
lsft free to compete below that provides
only that after one company has aoospt-
ed one pleoe of property at a rate below
the maximum it ahall be compelled to
write all other risks which tt accepts
from that class at the same rate.
The big object aimed at In the house
Position lg the prevention af discrimina-
tion that In ths sensts tha freedom
competition. The house contends that un-
less the absolute rate fa fixed that the
companies will charge a lower rate on
certain properties than that at whfcli
that class of risks can be carried at a
profit and that the deficit will have to
be made up from other classes of risks
this being ths evil of discrimination
while the senate declares that ths fixing
of a reasonable maximum rate above
which tha companies can not go will
give- the small Insurer- a guarantee
against an overcharge.
The senate has agreed to abandon Its
contention for establishing as the new
basis rate that which was In effect
December 1901. and will allow the
houss committee to asms the rase whloh
hall be fixed aa a basis under the new
aw. This and other matVra of detail
can be easily adjusted by tha two com-
mittees if the main difference on the mat-
ter of competluoe and discrimination can
be adjuatd. A saggstlon was -made In the
committee that this matter be put up-to
Governor Campbell for settlement but
the house representative would not agree
to thst concession.
Justment of this main difference at the
y ' ww niwmi wniurrav morning n
la likely that If Tt can -atot be adjusted
then that the present committee will ask
that others pe appointed In their stead. :

AUSTIN Texas 'August lt-Another
lively filibuster was started In the houss
this morning 'when f Jltshugh inquired
the status or the resolution introduced In
he house ! few days ago calling upon
democratic conventions to mind their
own business and leave the legislature
and tha governor free to carry out the
will of the people. When Informed by
the speaker that the resolution was upon
the speaker's stand subject to the call of
Its proponents or opponents Mr. Fltshuga
said he wanted action on it. Cries of
"amen" and "eys'; came from different
sections of ths house.
When the resolution was Introduced
Thursday by Fuller and others mo
amendment was offered by Reedy declar-
ing the action of the convention Ur be
meddlesome and pernicious; but there
was a motion by Davis to lay both the
resolution and ths substitute on the table.
When the matter was recalled this
morning there was a division of ths mat-
ter called for.
In the debate which ensued on ths
Reedy amendment the author made the
warmeat defense of the Campbell ad-
ministration that has been made on the
floor of the house during the special ses-
sion "Ths governor Is In close touch with
the hearts of the great masses of tha
people" he declared "and amidst ths
most venomous and - unjust attacks he
haa risen to the occasion and has dona
hla duty I did not have the utmoat con-
fidence In him and his policies when I
first entered the legislature; but now. I
know he is right and will follow where
he leads. These resolutions at the con-
vention were written purely to condemn
the governor."
When queried by Fftxhugh'as to wheth-
er the convention went out of its wa
In brder to adopt the resolution it did
Mr Reedy rejoined: "If It did anything
except go out of Its way I have yet to
discover It" 1
The gentleman from Smith then took
both houses to task for dilly-dallying
along and doing noshing allowing prac-
tloally a4l of the measures that bavs been
Introduced at the special session to fall'
of enactment - . - 1 '
"We ought to quit our Infernal bicker-
ings and get down to duty" he said '.'No
hoaest man can question that ths gov-
ernor has done his duty and that tha leg-
islature has not done eo." . . f
Having conceded hat It was wrong;
for the convention to Instruct ths legis-
lature Mr. Ravburn' asked ths speaker If
It were right for the legislature In turn
to rebuke the convention and two wrongs
thus make a right; but no answer was
forthcoming.' - " . V
Ths Reedy substitute amendment was
then tabled by a ot of 7 to 14. By a
vote of M to 28 the house refused to
table the original resolution' telling ths
convention to mind Its'pwn affairs; but
the point of order thaC the time had
passed for the consideration of resolu-
tions was Invoked and no further action
upon it was taken. '''- " ' ' '
