Olympla, Februao' 1 Washington is
on the verge of wiping out all of her
saloon and wholesale liquor houses by
adopting a prohlldtory law almllar to
that governing the sole of liquors In
the state of Souh Carolina,
The dlHt-naary taw, known as the
Cline bill, passed the house today by
a vote of 47 ayes to 30 nays, much to the
urprlc of the hous Uelf. The meas
ure as upiorted by nearly all of the
middle-of-the-road populists and by
a few silver republicans. The proposed
law puts full control of the Uquor traf
fic m the hands of the governor, but
eltmljte from the South Carolina law
the profit system which brings that
state on enormous revenue. The gov
ern appoints the state commission,
whRih in turn appoints the county com
missioners and they hi turn appoint
loooJ dlsremeers, all liquor being han
dled through the state commission, with
sutlloiunt profit attached to pay all the
expense of the different boards and
dispensaries. No liquor is ald at retail
to be drunk up-n the premises, and
minors or drunKn are prohibited un
der ponaltiea a,t the state agents
from receiving It. It Is sold only In
quantities mK less than half a pint nor
more than five gallons. The jromoter
arc now conMdent the measure will
pass the senate.
The entire navnlng session the
ho'ise was devoted to the conaiaera
tlon of Uve bill for the wmstltutlonal
amendment to submit the initiative and

AN ELECTROCUTED MOUSE.
From a Paru Letter.
A surious accident recently occurred
at the power house of the eleotirc light
service at the French Northern Rail
way statfcm hi Paris. With a strong
detonation a short circuit within the
transformer sol the Inflammable ma
terial In the trunHformer box on fire.
and only the presence of mind of the
eiudnwr on duty, who immediately
turned oft the current, averted serious
lisaiater. Ho then put out the burning
embers, and at the point where tne
short circuit had occurred he found
the carbonised remains or a mouse.
The cause of tlie !!ort circuit was ob
vious. Tlve mouse, while in contact
with a piece of metal, hod gnawed oft
the Insulation on one of the high-ten
sion wires, and when the animal's
tooth touched the wire It got the full
benefit of a 5,000-volt current.

depend upon Its action.

when Senator McKay was asked to
gri call for a conference of all r-
publicans on the senatorial qoestloa
and see If they could not agree on a
candidate. Senator McKay stated that
he would, for bis part, agree to support
any condMaae. except Mitchell, that
mllght be named by the majority Drea
mt Ln the joint aasembly. The MltcheH
mm say lihat a majority should nils
and that the opposition ahould com
in and vote and give Mitchell a chance
to show his strength.
The day waa unimportant. The ap
pearance of McKinley Mitchell of Ma

the sole feature of the Joint conven-
LeaiTue, who wired the anti-Mitchell re
publicans, Monday, not to fail to elect
