The happy outcome of the squnublo In the
Joint convention Is lamely duo to that prlnco
of pnillatncntarlnns , John C. Watson.
Mr Mndloof Kcd Willow , who introduced
tlio resolution to appoint eleven more pages ,
says ho did so merely to obi 1 go n trlcnd.
Judgo.T. G. Hlgglns , Governor Boyii's pri
vate secretary , is n resilient of Urntm Island ,
and , as is well known , was the candldato for
attorney general on the democratic ticket.
Church IIou'o g.ivo notice that ho had
joined forces with the Independents on the
line of economy and , reform and wns opposed
to appointing any supernumerary employes.
On motion of WhltoofCass , the house has
decided not to pay nny employes except the
Journal clerk for Sundays , or lor any day
that the legislature Is not actually in session.
Mr. Kali-child , n leading Independent of An-
tclopo county , says the reason why the inde
pendents in the leglslatuio stick together so
well Is because they uro nearly nil old sol
diers.
The Independents In the house are making
nn excellent record In favor of economy and
loformln the matter of employes. The law
limits the total number to soventv-livo , and
H li not likely that the number will roach the
limit.
Frank White of Cass Is nn invnluablo mem
ber. Every resolution looking to the ap
pointment ot supernumerary employes Is met ,
by the gentleman from Cass with a motion
that It bo laid on the table and a demand for
a roll call on the question ,
The efforts of n few of the leading independents
pendents to Induce Sneaker Elder to ccslgn
was anything but n brilliant success , Thoro-
publlcans and democrats believe that the
speaker Is an honest nnd fair-minded man ,
and will stand by him to the ond.
Tbo house has elected an excellent clerical
force. With Mr. Erlo Johnson chief clerk ,
W. C. Holden , A. H. Blgclow nnd M , M. Hnl-
leck assistants , and George M. Kane type
writer , the business of the house will bo
handled with neatness nnd dispatch.
"Order ! " "Orderl" Is frequently hoard all
over the houso. and especially from the inde
pendents. Ono assistant sorcoant-at-arms
oven went so far as to rnako n speech to the
crowd In the lobby , and the speaker en
deavored in vain to call him to order.
The plain Intimation of the supreme court ,
that unless the speaker of the house pro
ceeded in nocordnnco with the constitution to
count the vote nnd publish the result every
law the legislature might , pass would bo null
end void , was the clinching argument in
favor of obeying tbo mandamus.
"Got out of here , " said n puimv looking
militiaman yesterday in the stato" house to
the stalwart Captain O'Donhuo of Omaha.
The captain looked nt the tin soldier a
moment contemptuously , and then said :
"Sonny , I have ns much right hero as you
have , and if jou glvo mo another saucy word
I will put you in my pocket and carry jou
"
off.
An old German farmernnmod Henry Gross
man who lives three miles from Cheney came
to Governor Boyd today nnd told how his
bixteen-ycnr-old boy Freddlo had been taken
away with tha militia ngalnstbis will to fight
the Indians. The old man declared that ho
had never consented to Ids Doy Joining the
mllltln. Governor Boyd kindly listened to
the old man's story nnd referred the case to
Adjutant General Vifqualn. The adjutant
general is Investigating the case.

How a IMouibcr of the HnrvcMcr
Trust Looks ut the Future.
CHICAGO , Man. 10. [ Special Telegram to
Tin : BEE.J Ono of the members of the Into
harvester tnist said today that ho was very
sure that another organization of a similar
nature would ho formed before long.
"It Is a notorious fact , " said ho , "that for
along tlmo previous to the formation of the
trust , nona of the individual concerns made
money as they did In the old jlays when com
petition wiis so kcon and agricultural imple
ments were not so perfect In construction as
in this day. Every one was grumbling , for
expenses wcro exceedingly high. Then came
tome blight mind who suggested n trust nnd
a consequent lessoning of expenses with the
thohopooi better days to como with better
prices. And then came the col
lapse of tbls trust , because , as is
said and is true In the main It could not
evade responsibility to the law. Business
for the trust under the conditions of forma
tion was Impossible. No one would hnvo
dreamed of paving for goods received f rom a
company Illegally formed , nnd If the com
pany went to law about the matter they
would bo their own accusers. This was the
chief cause of the dissolution. Now wo nro
where wo were before cutting prices nnd
maligning each other , if wo want to rnako
mono ? wo must pool Issues , but you may rest
assured that , if ibo conjunction is ever again
clTcctcd , it will stand the test of the laws In
every state where the combination may do
business. In unity thcro is strength , vou
know , divided , wo must go to the wall. Yov
these reasons , I say the trust will bo re
vived , "

The young man who \\ta born in Omaha
WiWi In his element last night ; In fact , there
were several of them. Whllo the young men
of Omaha nto always proud of their birthplace
ofP'
place ' , thosu who llrst opened their eyes In
this city were doubly proud when they entered -
tored iho rooms of the Omaha club last night.
The occasion was the third annual banquet
of the association known as the "Son ! of
Omalia. "
Two yean ago Dr. George L. Miller , who
takes great prldo in being known as the god
father of the association , prepared nn elegant
banquet nnd sent out Invitations to nil of
the young men who wcro boru in
Omaha Thirty responded , nnd ns toasts
were drank to the host It was decided
tom cieute a permanent organization , The
movement took root nnd the organization ba-
came popular.
ccbl One voar ago , In honor of the date of the
birth of the association , the boys gave an ele
gant b.mtpiet , with a much larger attendance
than : upon the former occasion.
Last night the third banquet was n grand
success , nnd the Omiitia club rooms presented
a brilliant .scene as forty young men in full
evening arcss moved through the largo rooms
und halls of the club iiparlmonts.
Just before 8 o'cloelc lr. ) Miller was ob
served ( in ono of the parlors and was greeted
with hearty applause. A few moments later
wIn wns escorted to the mnin corridor , wbero
ho said :
InCD "Young mon , tons of Omaha , I nin glad to
moot you tonight , nnd when you under
stand that I camo" from a bed
of sickness to greet you you
will excuse mo from remaining to
participate with you In your festivities. I
tun happy to sco you , and I am glad to sco
such n deep Interest taken In this association ,
which in time must grow and bccumo a
mighty factor in the welfare and prosperity
of Omaha. I nin not here tonight for tbo
purpose .of making a speech , ns my health
\vlll not permit , but I give you my heaity
gieetlngs and most sincerely hope that this
organization will grow und achieve great
results.
"Hoys , you must remember that this or
ganization Is not for a. day , iior for a year ,
but it Is for a series of years , and realizing
this 1 bid you good-nlcht , hoping to moot you
at tunny of your fututo annual banquets.
Again thb doctor was loudly applauded ,
nnd us lie loft the room the announcement
was made that thu banquet was ready and
the young men tiled into the dining room ,
whcro forty covers were laid. The
dining room was beautifully deco
rated , wreaths of ( lowers hanging
from the chandeliers nnd boqucts of cut
llowcra ornamented the tablo. The menu
was olaboiate , consisting of several courses.
Hobort W. Patrick occupied tbo head of
the table and as president of the club and
toastmaster of the evening presided in a man
ner that inndo many of the boys turn green
with envy.
Will Koonlg responded to the toast
"Omaha" and referred to a banquet that was
given during the early days hi Otnuha , when
nil thu inches that could bo mustered were
nine. Ho dwelt at some length upon the
growth of the city ana informed the club
that 1653 was the most memorable year of
the cpntury , as that chronicled the date of
the birth of the president of the club.
C. Will Hamilton , in responding to the
toast , "Tno Married Mon of tbo Club , " said :
"Yesterday , while enjoy Ing tbo quiet which
my retreat down stairs allords , who should
br-ak in upon my rest but our president , und
without ono word of apology ho delivered
this command , 'William , you must speak at
the banquet tomorrow evening. ' I ontcred a
mild protest , 'But I nm a married man-i' nnd
was iong ! to add , 'and therefore must bo dis
creet , ' but ho Interrupted mo. 'Very ' well , '
said ho , and It scorned to mo with almost
fiendish glee , 'you will speak upon married
meu.1 And , after jotting down something in
a mysterious llttlo note book , ho vanished.
( I was going to say , 'into thin air,1 but ono
glauco at our worthy president will convlnco
you that that Is an impossibility ) .
"Well , how I nm , and I suppose f must
champion those 'married men. ' Why fata
should play such n prank on mo Is a inystorv.
There are friends Sutphen and Hitchcock ,
both old nnd tried veterans. Then there Is
friend McCormick , \vhom wo may call 11 new
recruit. As for myself , I will only say I'm
married , and 1 wish moro of you wcro in the
same fix.
"Gentlemen , my ideas of married men hnvo
changed somewhat since tlio time when I wns
ono of the boys.1 I now have decidedly nioro
icspcct for married mon. I begin to bo-
lluvo an unmarried man Is incomplete.
A single man's ' ideas , to say the host , must
of necessity bo narrow. It Is only after a
man has passed through the tire of matri
mony tnat you can say ho is pure gold. After
marriage a thousand and ono llttlo responsi
bilities crowd upon him nnd ho must take
broader views of life. ( To-be-suro I have
only ono llttlo responsibility , but some of our
friends have more , nnd 1 am speaking for
thorn as well as myself. )
"Tho unmarried man is a blank , a cipher ,
until a warm little heart drops Into his life ,
when straightway n transformation tokes
place and u structure more wonderful , moro
uoautiful thau ttio most perfect crystal , takes
shape. The structure of his homo.
"Then to our sweethearts and wives , for
our wives shall always remain our sweet
hearts , lots drink a bumper. "
The toast. "Tho Ludlcw. " was hatjdlod In a
masterly manner by will Doano. He ap
preciated the honor of responding to tbo
toast , and regarded the ladles of .Omaha the
most beautiful , Intellectual and cultured in
the world. Ho thought no ono appreciated
the ladles moro than ho , for what would
Omaha bo without the Indies ; what would
the stores bo without the ladies , and what
would thosons , of Omaha bo without their
wives nnd sweethearts , the ladies.
G. M. Hitchcock spoito upon the political
situation , referring to the fact of .Nebraska
having tlnco governqvs. "This.'Uisald ' he ,
"beats the record ; in fact , It boats the circu
lation of the city dailies. " Ho thought that
every man in the city , and particularly the
sons of Omaha , should take a hand In
politics. i
Will I. Popplctou was called upon , but
simply responded , "I pass. " This captured
tbo assemblage , and as Mr. Poppleton re
sumed his seat ho was greeted with cheers.
Volunteer speeches were made by Curtis
Turner , Arthur Smith , Victor Ualdwoll aud
others. At midnight the banquet was closed
and It has now become a matter of history.

well known gentlemen : Joseph Frcnzcr , W.

Is to bo ronewodjmd that the action taken ,
means that no western road c.m pay com

of tbo committed * Is merely to stop the pay

Heport of tlio Committed tin Foreign
Krlntlmis to tlio Senate.
WX HIVOTOV , Jan. 10. The report of the
committee ( on foreign rotations on the
IMcnragua ( ruml bill , presented by Sherman
IrI" the senate this morning , recites the Im-
portnnco of the canal project ; tre.its In detail
of the history of past negotiations on the sub
ject nnd maintains that tha proceedings of
Great Britain at Ulaizo , on the Mosquito
coast , discharged the United States from Its
engagement with Grcnt , Ilrltain la 1850 to ro-
01fi
fraln from oxcri-lslug eontiol of any part of
Central America. The report says the
uork \ of the private , corporation on the canal
has advanced with great rapidity , that the
total cost of tbo project will bo but one-third
more than the Wcllanil canal , and that it
will bo completed within six vcars. The full
cost of the worlds set down at SIOO)00XX ( ) ( ) .
The committee fools that to secure this
amount of money the company will boobllged
to soil bonds at ulargediscount , consequently
IIn will be necessary to impose a heavy com
mission on shipping , and as the canal would
really constitute a part of the coast line
of the United States this burden should
bo largely borne by the American
people. Therefore the committee believes it
uouldbo the part of economy , nsldo from
considerations of national policy , for the
cI United States to guarantee the bonds or tno
cc
company to the amount of $ IIHXKKH ) ( ) , ( ) so
they may bo sold nt pur , with thoicsultof
reducing Hist , the actual expenditures of the
company and , second , the tolls , which would
otherwise amount to jlD.oOJ.OOO annually. In
its present form the bill meets the objections
raised oy President Cleveland to the treaty
negotiated In 18S4 , and it does not commit
tlio United States to n defense of the territo
rial integrity of the Central American states.
In conclusion the icport , which Is unan
imous , says : "It is believed by your com
mittee that the United States will not bo
called upon to pay any portion of the princi
. pal or interest of the bonds , but that the
\\orkltselfwlllnmplyrcpay \ all Its costs nnd
yield Its benefits not only to the people of
Nicaragua and Costa Hica , but the civilised
world. If It appears nt any time that the in
terests of the United States are in Joopaidy
from any cause It can purchase a innjorlty of
the stock and become the contiolling owner
of the canal by pnyinir its own bonds to an
equal amount , and the property , tolls , In
come nnd prollts of the cannllll be ninplo
security against the obligation U assumes. "
The bill leportert provides that the capital
stock of the company shall bo limited to
if ui > , UM,000 , and to complete the canal tlio
company is autbori/.ed to issue bonds to an
iimount not exceeding the capital stoclc ,
dated January 1 , Ib'Jl , and payable January
1,1911 , , with Interest at ! t per cent , payable
nuarteily. The bonds nre to bo secured on
llrst mortgage on nil the properly of the com
pany. The bonus nro to bo deposited In the
United States treasury nnd Issued
to the company only ns the
worlc on the canal progresses. The
bonds are to boar the gunranteo of the United
States for the principal and interest an It r.c-
crues niul the company is to issue no other
bonds. The secretary of the treasury Is au-
thorbcd to pav the interest on tlio bonds as
they become duo , If not paid by the company ,
and an Indefinite appropriation tor the pur
pose is embodied la the bill , If the company
fails to pay the Interest as it falls duo nnd
upon payment thereof by the United States
the company is required to repay to the
United States the amount paid , with Interest
annually , at 4 per cent , until paid. The
stock is to bo issued as follows :
Fust The amount of stock which , with the
amount of bonds at par value , to be issued by
tlio canal cnmp.iny for expenditures prior to
Janunrv 1,1SU1 , shall make nn aggregate of
$7,000,000 , may bo retained by the stockhold
ers and bo non-assessiblo. Second The
amount of shares stipulated to bo delivered
toNIciiagun and Costa Hlca according to
their concessions. Third-Seventy million
dollars of shares to bo hold in the treasury
us a pledge to the United States for tlio ra-
pavment on demand of any sum
paid under its guarantee , with Interest
on the sums so paid at the rate of 4
per cent , und the secretary of thetroasury. on
oohalf of the United States , may at his dls-
cretlon vote such stock In person or by proxy
at any stockholders' meeting , and the United
States stiall at any time before the maturity
of the bonds have an option at the discretion
of congress to purchase at par v.iluo all or
nny part of the stock so hypothecated. The
United States may apply In payment for sudi
stock the sums paid under the guarantee and
the remainder of tlio purchase pilco of the
stuck shall bo applied cither for tno ledem
tlou of tly > bonds or for the sinking fund
Fourth. The residua of the stock shall bo
issued by the canal company only after It
shall bo subscribed for , and It shall only bo
ottered for subscription when , in the opinion
of the president of the Unltod States , the
proceeds of the Installments of the mottg.igo
bonds shall bo Insutllclcnt to meet tha cur
rent retirements of tbo company , The
original net of incorporation Is to bo amended
so that six of thu Ilf teen directors of the com

The select comtnltteo of the house on Irri

bloroport upon the bill of Mr. Vandovor of
Itillfornla , coding the arid lands to the states
nd territory wherein they nro situated , pro
viding for their Irrigation and the protection
) f forostand pisturago lands. The Intention
f the bill is to turn ever nil the arid lands to
ho state ? and territories to bo disposed of in
ho liitemt of making thoin arable. It Is be
loved t ptho state nnd territorial govern-
ncnts can better handle tlio irrigation qucs-
ion than the federal government and tlmt If
ho nrlu lands nro turned over to the control
f tlio state nnd territorial governments the
nlllions of ncies of arid lands Will bo imulo
lllablo. The bill provides for the survey and
ilnttlug of the Irrigation districts and In
uchn manner tlintoich district will consist
if basin for the collection , storage and dls-
rlbution of water to bo used for Irrigation
ind the ascertainment of the location and
ggiegnto of tirld lands , so that
heymnjbo turned ever to the states mid
orritorics to bo disposed of In any way to
in prove thoin. Thcro is ample provision
undo against the lands falling Into the hands
of corporations or speculators. A minority
eport will bo imulo against the bill by Mr.
Herbert of Alabama , who appears to bo the
only opponent of the proposition.

Adollnito proposition toward n compromise
on frco coinage has boon made by some of
ho radical silver men In the .senate. It Is that
.hero bo unlimited fiec coinage for American
silver and some chaiacterof hcigmorngoupon
'oreign silver , probably enough to cover the
litTercnco between the market value of the
Million and its fnco value ns coin. The scig-
ilorago upon silver at present Is about 80
unison $1 , or , In other words , the bullion
value today is about 80 cents for
silver dollar upon a gold basis.
The stamp of the federal government
nukes it worth , however , $ t in gold. It is
understood that Senator I'lumb advocates
this proposition and will submit it ns tin
uncndmcnt when tholln.iuco bill comes to a
vote on Wednesday next. IIo hopes to se
cure Its acceptance in advance ufllnnntlvo
action In caucus or a poll of the republican
side of the chamber.
The proposition is recanted quite favorably
> y some of tbo most radical fioo coinage ro-
.Milillcnns , nnd thcro aio prospects that it
vlll lie adopted. It is understood tlmt such
a fcMturo would bo repotted to the house
from the committee on coinage , veights and
noiibiiros , and it is very much desired tlmt
the iiiinuco bill bo not killed by extreme )
iction of the scn.ito on the silver question.
w\s IT .iiscounTiousl :
Of course there was talk in the senate to
day noout "discourtesy towards senators" In
connection with tbo nomination of ex-Sena
tor N P. Hill of Dunver to bo a member of
Iho iiitnriiation.il monetary conference. That
was to bo expected. If senators had their
way the presidency of the United Stntes
would simply bo a clerkship nnd the presi
dent would mnko no appointments and take
no step in any direction without llrst nsiting
the permission of the somito. According to
the gunge of a grunt many of tbo senators
the people have no rights which thoynro
bound to respect. Whau President Hariison
sent the nomination of ox-Senator Hill to the
semite ho had no thought of nffrontlug nny
ono. IIo knew that the nominee wasatop-
rcsentativo silver man and ono well versed
In linanclal matters generally a man who
was In every way titled for the
position , who had been strongly en
dorsed by representative republicans of
Colorado and who , above nil pthers , would
do credit to the position. Ho was conscious
of simply exercising in an honorable and In-
telliKent way the duties devolving upon him ,
and inasmuch as the functions of tbo ofllco
are to bo eierclsed wholly outsldo the state
ot Colorado and the appointment was ono
from at large , It did not occur to him that It
was necessary or oven proper from any point
of view that ho should suggest the name to
either of thu Colorado 301111101-3. The stories
being circulated to the effect that It was a pre
meditated affront to the Colorado bcnators or
anybody else is untrue nnd unworthy the
utterance of anj'ono. An effort may bo made
to defo.it the continuation of the nomination
of ex-Senator Hill and it may prove success
ful , but it will not alter the fnet that the
quarrels of certain men In Colorado should not
be made the business of the president or that
ho should ask permission of a senator every
time ho is confronted with"tho exercise of his
n lopondc niduty , Tliopresldonliiiiownotbliig
of tbo enmity existing between the nouiinoo
nnd tlio senators from Colorado und therefore
coulu have had no feeling In the matter , but
If ho had known nil
about It nnd desired ever
so much to plcaso the senators , it was not his
duty to consult them In regard to un aupolnt-
nientof this character. It begins to luok as
though this thing of "senatorial courtesy"
waa being carried entirely too far.

If thcro had been a suspicion during

that Governor Boyd is not his legal successor
