Oreat showers of confetti were thrown over the members during the period in which formidable missiles, like books, tiles and paper wads were not used. To make a speech was impossible. Even the powerful voices of Allen, McMullen and Reno were impotent in the din. Speaker broke his gavel and sat down in despair. The clerks marked the rolls at random during the farciai rollcalls, and conference reports were adopted at guess figures. In the Senate there was more dignity displayed, and there was none of the skylarking that kept the crowd in the House in a hilarious mood.

HARRI9BURG, Pa., May 25.— The Kline liquor bill was most decisively defeated In the house of representatives yesterday. So thorough was the defeat administered that, as loon as the vote of the house was counted, It was declared by its opponents that it was practically killed and the senate, the body in which It originated, would do nothing more with It. The vote was on the question whether the house should recede from Its amendments, the senate .having refused to concur in the house amendments, and on roll call there were 09 ayes, who were swamped by the storm of 110 noes. When the Kline bill originally came into the house from the senate some time ago, those opposed to it. said It authorized the peddling of beer and whisky from wagons owned by the brewers and distillers. The house inserted some amendments, one reducing the amount of beer that could be sold from two dozen pint bottles to one dozen. This amendment apparently enlarged the peddling feature, but, in neutralization, the house also inserted an amendment providing that beer and whisky, to be delivered to customers under the proposed law, must be bought on the premises or on orders delivered at the premises. This was ntended to obviate the alleged peddling feature of the original bill. The senate refused to accept the house amendments a week ago. Yes, Alonzo, there are people who cannot be flattered.
