IALL SAYS MAJORS WAS SURPRISED. YcHtcrdny's Proceed him ' " the House nnd Sunntn Mnklnjj Up thn Com- mlltcoH Important Dills Introduced. Lt.vcot/v , Nob. , Jan. 13. [ Special to THE lKi.1 ) : The governorship Is a topic of never censing Interest ami n source of numberless rumors and speculations. iVmong the lint was a report that Ltott- .cimntGovenior Majors had filed a petition in ntorventlon to contfist Governor Boyd'a eligibility. Certain hot headed democrats In .ho house Immediately gave It out Hat that if tie did they would Join the Independents la seating 1'owors. Representative Whltoaskod , hem to keep quiet until ho would investigate : ho report. Ho had a tallc with Lieutenant jovornor Majors , learned that the rumor was untrue , nnd the excited democrats quieted down. Then followed the rumor that Royd nnd Majors Imfl made n tie-up , and that tlio latter iad signed a formal agreement not to contest the governor's seat , The consideration was tot stated. It is absurd to think as old and shrewd a politician os Tom Mnjora would n nnaoerof thnt kind that might disturb Ills political dreams for the rest of his life , [ jut the rumor found believers and stirred up inquiry. Mr. Majors said In response to a quostlon about the report : "Thero Is absolutely no foundation for it. I liavo mndo no such agreement , nnd Mr. Uoyd hns not asked it. I hold my position tiy the sovereign will of the people , and Mr. lloyd holds his by the sumo title. I think the only thing for mo to do is to let the matter take Its course and develop. " The rumor went on tonamo Hon. Charles Hall of J-iincoln as the go-between In ilxlng up the alleged agreement. Mr. Hall is Lieu tenant Governor Majors' ' attorney in the con test for his present position , when askud nbout the rumor , Mr. Hall said : "It Is not truo. There Is notnore agreement between Mr. Boyd nnd Mr. Majors then there has been nil along. They nro both chnrgcd with burglary ; with stealing- state ofilccrs The evidence that will convict one Is very likely to oust the other. They liavo some interests in common in the contest for their ofllccs , but thnt Is an affair quito apart from the question of Governor Boyd's eligi bility. " "What will bo your course in the quo war- ranto procccdlngl" was nsked. "I do not see that anything can bo done until Mr. Uoyd makes h's ' answer , nnd that will probably bo delayed as long as possible , which will bo live weeks from yesterday. Wo mav not tnko nny notion. The question af Mr. Boyd's eligibility has been raised and Is before the court. Our supreme court Is likely not to ieach a decision until the Sep tember term. The court is over-burdened with work , nnd if it follows its practice in ether cases , will probably refer this case to a referee. The finding of the referee may bodo- layed until nftcr the adjournment of this terra of court. I can say that the ruling of the court permitting Mr. Majors to Inter vene was nn utter surprise to him. Txvo in ferences may bo dinwn from it. Ono is that If Mr. Boyd Is found ineligible the court thinks Mr. Majors is his legitimate suc cessor. The other is that the judges are di vided on thnt point. " Governor Thnyor has been in his ofllco most of the day and been rondily nccessiblo. Ho hns received many nssurancos , both by loiter and in person , of approval of his course by republicans. Ho has furnished Governor Boyd with a variety of hlunks and volun teered other courtesies. In conversation , ho said : "I hnvo no statement to pivo to the public. My cnso Is before the court nnd my counsel , among the nblest in the state , have charge of It. I shall remain here quietly pending its adjudication , which I trust will Do next week. I will show Mr. Boyd every courtesy and ro- spoct. I will say , however , that I can .see that public sentiment Is changing and I bo- llovo thnt time will jiibtify my course. " Till : 8EXATK. A.

" Speaker Elder arose nnd in a very feeling manner spoke ns follows : "Gentlemen , nnd members of the house of representatives : I rise to express my thanks to the people of Clay county , nnd especially to my friend , Judge Morns , whom I have known many years , for this testimonial of their regard.

I Tbo work -making up the standing committees of the senate has been attended with a great deal of friction. The Independ ents bad selected the best of everything , and Senators Shea , Christofforson nnd Moore have been fighting Tor a better show for the republicans and democrats. The selecting commit too had the matter under consideration this afternoon , and the senate did not begin business this afternoon until nearly 4 o'clock , In the hope cf getting a ronort on tbo standing committees. Tbo committed then announced Thnt it would not bo ready to report until morning out of deference - once to Senator Shea who desired further consideration. The correspondents had a list of the com mittees yesterday , but no fewer than twenty changes have boon made in their membership since then. Senator Sho.i says ho will abandon further olTorts to chnngo the inde pendents , nnd will introduce a minority re port.

Ho says ho finds it n heavy task. No moro committees will bo announced until the entire list Is com pleted , whlcn may take n day or two. No In timation has been given ns to the leading chairmanships , except that they will go to the Independents. As there nro no lawyers among the Independents , It has boon sug gested that the Judiciary copimitteo should go to John C. Watson. The three leading committees Judiciary , railways and appro priations-will likely go to Schroder of Logan , Mclloynolds of Clay and Tnylor of Johnson. Gnflln of Saunders , Nowberry of Ilnmilton , Jones of Hurt , Kruse of Knox , Wnldron of Adams nnd Stevens of Furnas will likely get good committees. Tlio Concurrent lluHolntion. The concurrent resolution of the house , fixing next Tuesday as the tlmo for the joint session to hoar the contest for state ofllces , has been received by the senate and sot n Hood of speculation loose. The point bos ocen raised thnt n concurrent resolution must go through the same routine as n bill and bo signed by tlio governor. If Governor Boyd refuse to sign this resolution it Is held thnt nroceedlmrs will bo blocked , because the inuunendonts have not enough of n majority toVass It over his veto. An experienced parliamentarian , who has boon connected with the legislature for years , holds that the p6htt is not well taken. There are , ho holds , two kinds of concurrent reso lutions. Ono l.ipabs with the adjournment of the legislature , aud the other extends beyond. The lli'llrf Movement. Senator Stevens , yesterday inaugurated a movement to give , immediate rnllof to the drouth suffordrsin western Nebraska. A paper has been circulated among the mem bers of tbo legislature pledging thorn to sup port a bill appropriating S100.000 for that purpose. It Is slated tonight that n largo majority of tup members have signed the paper and , on , tb.p credit , of that pledge , the state relief commif tee _ \vill go ahead nt once and order and ship goods to the sufferers. A special committee of the home , of which Mr. Modio is chairmatJ , nad Watson , a lead ing member , is drafting a bill to moot the case. The leadership of the Lancaster delegation lies between Oakley nnd Nlckerson. Taylor of Johnson was called to the chair for a few minutes today nnd proved himself a good parliamentarian. The farmers put in nbout as much time making laws as they would plowing corn. Tlio daily sessions nro twice as long as for merly. About twenty bills have been introduced so far , but hundreds of others nro hidden snugly awny in inside coat pockets waiting for the call of the speaker. Heretofore It has been the custom to cnll the roll alphabetically for the introduction of bills , but now It is n free for all race to catch the eye of the speaker , Marked copies of the Lincoln Journal of Education containing articles against school book uniformity and state publication have been distributed among the niombcrs. Representative Gillllan ( rep ) of Lancaster wishes to state that ho has not gone en tirely over to the Independents. Ho only votes with them when ho thinks they are right. The ball of the house is being kept In ex cellent shape. The janitors are farmers nnd are apparently willing to out in as much time when working for the state as they do upon their farms. Ono of the singular tblncs of this legisla ture , nnd which perhaps has never occurred before in the history of legislation , is the queer make-up of the judiciary committees. The chairmen of both are likely to bo farm ers. aud a clear majority will bo tillers of the soil. Amusing scenes are the order of the day in the house. When the speaker put n motion today the "nyos" were numerous but not very emphatic , while the l > noes" were few but loud. Looking in the direction whence thu negative vote proceeded , the speaker re marked , "It is carried Just the same , " which brought down the house.

IT ABOLISHES THE TAX ON STATE BANKS , Shcrmin Hinnkt for Pour Hours Ajjnlimt l-Vno Onlnnea The Army Appr.iprlUiun LUI1 lu the Houso. WA-mts-oTov , Jnn. in.-In the senate today Mr. Morgan on bohnlf of Mr , Colqulttgavo notice of an amend tnant to the financial bill abolishing the tx on stito banks. The bill for the erection of a publlo build ing at Joliet , III. , to cost SIOJ.OJJ was passed. Tha senate then resumad consideration ot the financial bill nnd wai addressed by Mr. Sherman. Tlio Stewart amendment , ho said , was a radical proposition , which changed the whole character of the bill. It wn a propo- sltjon that the United State ? shojldpay $1.23 for every ounce of silver bullion that might bo offered from nny part of the world. Not only this , but It had no option as to the niodo of paymout. The opltloii wns in the hands of the owner. This proposed mcasuio gave preference to sliver over gold ; not only this , but was not epon to further amendment. Today - day tlio value of sllvor In the markets of the world was something nbout $1.05 an ounco. Hero was nn offer to pay 21 cents an ounce moro than the market price. Mr. Sherman also criticised the proposition that sllvor was to bo formed Into com or bars at the option of the owner , "without charge. " He aald now In all sincerity thnt if ho bo- llovep free colnago of sllvor would enable us to maintain the value of silver bullion up to thnt of gold ho would vote for free coinage today. But If it wore admitted that sllvor could not roach gold except by the govern ment paying a bounty to the producers of do mestic silver he did not think there wns any danger of the measure passing. Mr. Slier- mnn spoke of tbo Latin union and said the Unltoa States was much more liberal to silver than was oven Franco , and yet the senate has been told of the great prosperity of Franco , nnd that won derful prosperity has boon attributed to its troitmont of silver. Ho said It was ridiculous to present Franco as a sil ver country. Silyer wns not the legal tender there fora higher amount than for f > 0 frnucs. Ho did not sco why his silver friends nor the people ought to bo satisfied with the present law. It was a compromlso proposition , mndo after grave reflection. Why should the bul lion owners of Nevada nud Colorado bo paid moro than the market price for their silver I The present law worked well. Last sosslon it was agreed to by the sllvor men ns all they wonted. It contained n declaration , which , he thought , was a point of honor , that it would bo the policy of the United States to maintain t ho parity of the two metals1 Now. within a year , a measure was proposed which would destroy that parity. The immediate effect of free coinniro would bo to increase the exportation of gold. Whllo the currency would bo expanded by the issue of trcas- ury notes , it would be- contracted by the exportation of gold. Another effect would bo to increase the proportion of silver. When the market for silver was in the most dis turbed state possible , when the Untied States alnno wns hulling silver against the world , when the Lntln nations were seeking a moro stable standard , it was proposed that tlio United States should stop in and buy silver nt . a price far above the market valuo. Was it not n serious thing to make this offer , in view of the great store of sllvcriti the world ? Continuing ( , Mr. Sherman said ho was ashnmcd i thnt n great nation like ours should bo 1 content to lower its standard of value to Join China , Japan nnd the South American states nnd to leave n company of the commer cial nations which now hopefully stood by most standards of value , for whatever might be said of silver , no ono would ques tion that in the great business trans actions of llfo sllvor would not answer the purpose. It would bo measured by the ton. Gold alone was tlio standard value. Ho could see nothing in the future of this measure except distrust , fear nnd change of values. It would Injure all those who de pend on their labor. There was no dldlculty , Mr. Sliormun asserted , in keeping gold and silver at a parity with each othor. When They separated in market value nnd when It was clearly perceived that cither metal wns going down in value , then the ratio should bo changed. Ho believed the best money ever devised by man was the treasury notes of tlio United States issuing under the law of inst se ion gold certificates mid silver clrtillcates. The common people believed in hard money. They were willing to have paper money , but they wanted it maintained nt par. Ho cau tioned the democratic senators from thn cast nnd the scnntors from the southern states that if they committed them selves to the palicy of free coinage of silver tncn they would have the burden of that commitment next year when tlio respon sibility of legislation would bo upon thorn , and ho reminded them that during the four years of democratic administration they had not dared propose such n measure , but Kept as quiet as possible and no nlllauco would drive them to the principle of free coinage. For ono ho would stand by the legal standard of vnluo , on which public and private con tracts had been based. After speaking four hours Mr. Sherman resumed his sent amid applause. Mr. Teller said the senator's argument had been nn appeal against the mines of the coun try. The question was not one of compensa tion to miners , but whether the world wanted silver as money. Mr. Allison snid It was true thnt the people ple of the United States did not favor the use of mctalllo money in ordinary transactions , whether of silver or gold. They preferred paper substitutes for coin , whether the coin bo of sliver or gold. Ho alluded to thu recent monetary stringency nnd said that In obedience to what ho believed to bo the wish of those who du al red to Increase the currency and those who wished to give steadiness to silver bullion , ho hnd voted in favor of the llrst section of the bill , In favor of making nn additional pur chase of $1'J,003,000 of sliver , butuftcr having listened to the speeches of the senators from Colorado and Nevada ho would , when the opportunity ollored , move to strike from tao bill its llrst section. The last section of tlio bill ho regarded as a vitnl ono. It author ized the president , when n sufficient number of commcrclnl nations hnd agreed upon a com mon ratio , to make a proclamation to that olTect nnd to open our mines to free coinage. That was a statement to the nations of thu world that the United States was ready when they were to use sliver ns money. Ho argued from historical parallels that under the free silver coinage provision gold would go pra.tij cully out of the country , or would nu hold at its value abroad , compared with the value of silver bullion , lie regarded the proposition of free coinage as piotnuturo. Ho did not believe - liovo that the United States could maintain it alone , and that was his argument. Ho would therefore vote against the amendment. Messrs. Aldilch nnd UvarU also spoku against the amendment. Mr. McConncll spoke In favor of free coin- ago. ago.Tho hour then being Into It was decided that Messrs. Jones of Novnda , Ingalls , Gib son and Hlscock bo allowed to address the senate In axtonso tomorrow , nftcr which a ton-mlnuto debate will bo entered upon. Ad journed. Iloiinr. WASIHXUTOV , Jan. 13.
