Up in Their Consideration ,
ADOPTED A REPUBLICAN AMENDMENT

mlgriitlon Discussed In the Semite
A Uuy'H Doings In Congress.
WASHINGTON , D. C. , Fob. n. The house of
representatives spent another monotonous
day In Iho discussion of the rules , and it Is
now evident that the first two months of the
session will close with Iho rules of proced
ure of the Fitly-second congress slill under
/s consideration. The pro/ross made today
wns very slight , but It was marked by ono
very Mgnlllcant event the adoption of nn
amendment , proposed by Mr , Dingloy of the
republican side , nnd chiefly supported by ox-
Speaker Heed. This amendment , too , Is ono
of the most Important thus far proposed to
the committee , as It provides that all scnnto
amendments to house bills , other than appro
priation bills , shall bo considered ns seen as
laid before the house by the speaker.
This Is considered an Important stop to
ward the practical expedition of legislation
nnd no stronger evidence of iho disposition
to consider the rules in n nonpnrilsan spirit
could bo afforded than In the general support
which the amendment of Messrs. DIngloy
nnd Heed today received from the democratic
sldo. v
The pending motion this morning wns that
mndo by Mr. Boatner of Louisiana , striking
out the clause permitting general legislation
on appropriation bills , provided Hint being
germane it retrenched expenditures. In ad
vocating his motion Mr. Boatner argued that
the appropriations of provlous congresses
would show that the expenditures could bo
reduced constitutionally and reasonably with
out the bouso depriving itself of its Indepen
dence. It had coequal powers with the senate -
ate , and it should not surrender thorn.
Oave tlio Democrats Warning.
Mr. Bowers of California said that be did
not need any reforms as far as ho wns con-
carped. Ho was not bora to sound tha praises
of reform. The people of the west wanted
appropriations for the improvement of rivers
and harbors , for publln buildings , for the
survey of unsurvoyod lands of sottlers. Ho
wanted to glvo tho'domocrats n good straight
tip In the race tor the presidential stakes.
Tlioy wcro putting the race up wrong , nnd if
they oxpocled to win they would have to
change their horseshoes. If they did not put
on sound , sensible horseshoes , they would
not bo In lu Changing his slmilo , Mr. Bo\v- \
ors warned the democrats that they could not
win with the hand they hnd. Tboy wou.d
have to druxv or they would bo beaten. The
i party which took n 6-cont nickel as tbo
' measure of the people would ranko n mlsluko.
Mr. island of Missouri contended that nn-
" "less the rule wns adopted in its present form
It would bo Impossible for the bouso to re
trench expenditures and reduce the legisla
tion.
Couldn't Understand Why They Objected.
Mr. Pondloton of West Virginia could not
understand why the republicans of the Fifty-
second congress should bo opposed to riders
on appropriation bills. Riders on npptoprin-
tlon bills had saved the liberties of tbo pee
ple. It was by measures of this character
that the liberties of the English people wcro
established , lu latp years they had been
used lo prcborvu tho'constltutlonal rlghls of
Iho people of the south. Whllo ho did not
think that tbo policy of riders wns n sound
ono , Iho present situation would Justify Its
adoption.
Mr. Butler of lown said that ns nn original
proposition bo would feel It his duty to oppose -
pose riders , but ho WHS controlled largely by
the thought that public lute rests should
* nlwnys bo sugpcstlvo of public duly. When
representatives determined for themselves
what tbo peoplosent thorn here for , then , in
order to carry out lhat duterminallon Ihoy
must adopt methods which would make It
possible to do so. It was the bounden duty
of the house to adopt such methods as would
rnako economy possible.
Demanded the 1're.tlons OiicHtlon ,
Mr. Catch Ings of Mississippi demanded the
provlous question and it was ordered.
Mr. Boatner'a molion was defeated : veas ,
DO ; nays , 119.
Mr. Dingloy of Mnino offered an amond-
'nont ' providing Ibat no bill or rosolullon
shall at any time bo amended by inscribing
therein the substance ot any other bill or
resolution pending before Ilia houso.
The amendment was lost.
On motion ol Mr. Enloo of Tennessee nn
amendment was adopted providing that nil
bills shall bo inlroduced by prcsenling them
to the clerk properly endorsed , nnd shall bo
appropriately roiorred by iho speaker.
Mr. Dingloy of Mnino offered nu amend
ment providing for tbo consideration of
senate amendments to bouse bills ( not appro-
printing money ) ns soon as they are laid before
fore the house by the speaker.
In speaking In favor of the nmondment
, Mr , Heed of Mnino remarked lhat the work
of tbo last congress had been done under
stress of weather from the reading of tbo
first Journal to the final adjournment ; and
U the shin had sailed smoothly over the
stormy son how much better would It sail in
the summer weather which would charuc-
temo this houso. [ Laughter. |
The amendment was agreed to.
I'rlv.ite 11111 * .
A long discussion onsund directed toward
if * the method by which Iho private calendar
! ' should bo considered , There was much com
plaint made that the calendar was blocked
with measures reported from the war claims
committee and that those , as they gci..iraly !
glvo rise to much antagonism , would prevent
tbo consideration of other private bills ,
Mr , O'Neill of Missouri protested against
the small attention which had boon glvon lo
private measures during provlous congresses
and offered an amendment providing that on
Tuesdays , Thursdays and Saturdays the
bouso shall meet at 10 o'clock , the two addi
tional hours to bo Javoted lo prlvato bills.
Tbo amendment wns lost , yeas , 80 ; nays , 1U8.

lablo Special to Tin : Bnu. | An important
question in the revision ot the constitution ,
which wns raised by the popular demand for
universal bullrnge , came today before the
louse of representatives on n propositioh of
Janscn , radical , leader for Ihe revision of
suffrage clauses of Iho coiisltlulion. Premier
Bccrnaort gives adhesion to the proposal , but
said that before dissolution of Iho present
parliament for the election of the constiiu-
, ! otial assembly it would bo well lo asreo
upon n general scope of suffrage roform. Ho
proceeded lo lay before iho house a bill om-
jodylng the views of Iho government. This
creates household suffrage and Increases the
electoral body from 200,000 to 000,000 voters ;
nodlflcs iho veto clause of the constitution
and grants the king the power after any law
passes parliament to refer it to Ibo people.
After u lengthy debate the house agreed to
the proposal of the minister to refer the bill
to u central section of the house which will
report in April. After n vote the budgel will
como up for llnal discussion ; if then agreed
lo the present parliament will bo dlsolvcd
In Juno and the now ono elected with the
special mission to revise the constitution on
the basis agreed upon. The ultimata result
will probably caiiso great discontent and
dangerous agitation. The working classes
declare thov will resort to any means to ob-
lain ubsolulely universal suffrage. The lime
between now und Juno will bo nn important
epoch for Belgium and even for Europe , us
any intornallonal trouble hero may furnish
Ibo long looked for occasion for foreign in-
lorforenco , loading lo n general war.

es ot hearings on the various anti-option
illls pending In congress. C. Wood Davis , n
Cnnsns statesman , apnoarad In advocacy of
ho Hutch bill.
From the Chicago Itntird of Tr.ule.
Just before the adjournment of the com-
nltteo II. H. Aldrlcb , Murray Nelson ana
others representing the Chicago Board ot
Irado spread before the committee n volumi
nous memorial In opposition to anti-option
oglslatlon , Tbo arguments contained in thic
memorial are chiefly that boards of trade are
essential to the marketing of the farmer's
iroduco. and that the dealing in optlonn and
'utures is a stimulus necessary to Iho main-
.onanco of boards of trado.
"Tho pending bills , " says the memorial ,
"contemplate an attack upon ono line of busi
ness , singling it out from everything else ,
nnd nre , In that ro-jpoot , very serious class
legislation. Designed ostensibly for the sup
prossioti of gambling In the products of the
soil , they would , if allowed to become n law ,
extinguish an established system without
tfhlch producers would ho absolutely nt the
norcy of combinations of capital formed to
prey upon tboir helplessness.
An Unmitigated Kvll.
'Gambling in farm products Is an unmiti
gated evil , and there is not a legitimate cx-
: hango In tbo country that would not lend
its aid and countenance to the enactment nnd
enforcement of laws for its extinction. In
simple truth , the extent to which produce
gambling is carried on in the legitimate exchanges -
changes of the country Is immensely exag
gerated. It boors about the same relation to
the legitimate commerce and speculation of
: ho country that tbo froth and foam of
Niagara do to the mighty volume of water
underneath. It is bubble and fuss and fury ,
ihe froth and foam upon the surface of the
Lrado and commerce that , offends not to
T.ulo and commerce itself.
"Gambling in products , gambling pnro and
simple , is carried on in the bucket shops.
This form of gambling is nnd has long been n
fruitful source of nijricultural depression ,
nnd a rigorous federal bucket shop law vig
orously enforced might go far toxvard ac
complishing the end that is soucht. Tbo
laying of wagers In these thoubands of bucket
shops on the quotations of proauco as they
are made in the great marts of trade creates
a powerful concentrated interest for the de
pression of values.
Has Itccomc n Xntloiml Curse.
The extent to which this bucket shop in
fluence Is responsible for Iho agricultural
depression that is complained of is not , wo
fear , fully appreciated. The evil is ot suffi
cient Imp'ortnnco in our opinion to merit tbo
attention of congress. It hns become a na
tional curso. This board docs not upprobond
that your honorable body confounds bucket
shops with legitimate oxcbangcs. Such a
thought would bo an insult to your
Intelligence. Boards of trade ore
n necessity of modern commerce.
Thov enable the producers to find a mar
ket at any time for their surplus grain ,
cattle , hogs , cotton and other crops at far
bettor average prices than could otherwise
bo obtained. America raises a surplus of
almost every kind of farm product , and this
surplus must bo sold to domestic and foreign
consumers , else congestion results and the
country suffers from evils of overproduc
tion. Tbo fanners are not as a class able
to furnish the capital needed to carry the
surplus ot their crops. They are as a general -
oral thing obliged by the necessities of the
situation tc realize on their crops as suon us
savod.
Urgent Hellers.
' This makes them urgentsellers during tbo
few months immediately following hnrvest ,
and were it not for tbo helping hand of
speculative and invested capital the high
ways of commerce would bo glutted with nn
unsaleable plethora. The ultlmnto consumers
to whom our surplus must bo sold , If sold nt
nil , would supply their requirements only ns
necessity demanded and fathomless depres
sion In values would ensue. Destroy tbo
system of contracting for thn purchase nnd
nalo of agricultural commodities for future
delivery by imposing a prohlbitlvo tnx on
such operations nnd a very largo proportion
of the capital thus employed will seek other
channels of investment.
"Tho farmer may rid himself of the mid
dleman , but ho will also bo bereft of his
market at tbo same time. "
Interstate Commerce Matters ,
The senate committee on interstate com
merce today board arguments upon amend
ments proposed to bo made In the interstate
commerce law , a number .of railroad repre
sentatives being present.
Mr. Raymond , a member of the National
Board of Trade , presented the resolutions
adopted by that body last week urging con
gress to adopt legislation calculated to
strengthen the interstate commerce law and
tbo commission ,
James McNaught , solicitor for the Northern -
orn Pacllio road , argued that tbo pending
bill proposed was an infringumontibv the ex
ecutive authority upon the proper functions
of the judicial branch. It wont further In
the direction of centralization than over ho
a republican could venture to follow. It
deprived n party of tbo right of a fair trial
and limited the courts simply , to a
rovlow of the law without authority to re
view the facts. Ho also feared that by the
ro-onactmont of the section of tha existing
act rolaUvo to foreign transportation of
Amotican traftio the courts would1 bo obliged
to uphold the decision nf the commission in
favor of the Canadian Pacific road. His
company would Ilka the same right of rato-
making as the Canadian Pacific enjoyed nt
competitive points.
Mr. Knapp , ono of tno Interstate commerce
commissioners' addressed the committee
briefly In answer to some of tbo points made
by the speakers , pointing out what ho said
were the fallacies and tolling of tuo exper
ience of the commission in endeavoring to
prosecute Its Inquiries and en fore conclus
ions , There wns never any dispute as to tbo
facts in a cauo before the commission , Un
less tbo commission's decisions were glvon
legal weluht there would bo no complaints
made to It , because aggrieved parties would
bo discouraged by tbo inevitable suit.in court
to follow an order in their favor , Tha result
would bo that the commissioner would
become merely a collector of rate Rheots
and compiler of statistics.
Antl-ChliieMi I.ecUhttlon.
Senator Dolph , from the committee on
foreign uffalra , today reported , with amend
ments , a bill to continue in force for ton

WASHINGTON , D. C. , Fob. 3. Thohouto
committee on coin ago , wcjghts nnd measures
today examined Director of the Mint Lsoch
on matters relating to thd silver question , In
answer to queries Mr. Loach said his mlnl-
r.um estimate of the production of silver la
.ha United States during the
ast year was 5.OOD,000 ounce' ,
t the ntnount used In the arts nnd sciences
, vero deducted , the American product would
jo loss than the government purchases. Thu
unount of currency ln circulation In tha
United States , ho said , wns4.50 per capita
ar orttun ether country except Franco.
Leech did not think there was any lack of
circulating medium in this country.
Mr. Williams ot Illinois asked If
10 regarded Iho Issuance ot silver certificates
to circulate Instead of silver dollars as any
obstacle to free coinage.
Mr. Leech replied In the negative and said
ho thought the notes preferable. The Issu-
inco of gold notes was open to the same ob-
octlon , but not to the aatno extent as in the
; aso of silver notes , as they could bo clrcu-
: aled easier.
Mr. Lcoch admitted that it was n matter of
opinion nnd ot conjecture , but in his Judg
ment free silver coinngo would either scud
gold abroad or to a premium.
Could lluy the Worlil'H Silver.
Mr. Bland Have wo gold enough to buy n
ship load of silver )
Mr. Leech Wo think < wo have enough to
uuv the world's stock.
Mr. Bland suggested that the proposition
of Mr. Leech waj that the pcoplo of Europe
would take their silver from homo , where It
wns worth as much as gold , admitting that it
was not worth , as much for foreign transac
tions , and soil it here wboro they could not
buv as much of it as at homo.
Mr. Leech insisted that that would bo the
cnso because of a dcslro to cot In n gold basis
and said Austria was contemplating that
very thing.
Mr. Bland said that so was Germany con
templating It , but she stopped soon.
A query by Mr. Johnson of North Dakota ,
ns to whether or not the United States had
any ngont abroad with n view to learning tuo
sentiment toward blmotallsm and an Inter
national agreement , led tho.dlscnsslon into
the Held of International agreements.
Mr. Leech's reply to the question pro
pounded by Mr. Johnson was that wo hnd
selected cortnin ROntlomcn' who were going
to travel in Europe , nnd who had a social
ana financial standing , enabling th'in to
talk with public ofllcors and financiers to
learn the probabilities of somd International
agreement being securca. Those gentlemen
had nothing but a general' ' lottcr from tbo
Treasury department. Thby received no
compensation. Several letters had boon ro-
coivcd and would bo read by tlio president
within the next few months , '
International Agreement Possible.
Mr. Tracoy of Now York "Yon were some
what encouraged to bcliovo that an agree
ment might bo eventually rcnch'Cd ?
Mr. Lcoch Wo nro encouraged. England
hnd shown a disposition to act favorably.
Ho ( Mr. Leech ) would regard an Inter
national agreement as a very great bcneBt to
all mankind.
Mr. Tracoy Would not nfcoontry in Eng
land's position rooeivo mo'ro benefit if wo
alone were to pas : a free- coinage bill and
they were to get "pur gold , ifiatfif nn agree
ment were roacho'd ? vl. . ' , .
Mr. Leech A free colnopn bill would cor-
tolnl3f bo largely to tholr IntBrosts.
Mr. Bland Is It not i fact that these in
ternational agreements and' ' the talk of tljom
generally arise about tbo < time we got up the
silver question hero } .
Mr. Leech No , sir. I thlr.k wo have been
at work quietly while you gentlemen have-
boon at home.
Mr. Bland said It was his experience that
for twenty years that ovary time a free coinage -
ago bill was talked of they had been told to
wait for an International agreement , but
'
uono bad ever coma'
Mr. Ed. Stark of Cleveland , O. , then pre
sented nu argument in favor of free coinage.

THEY DON'T ' FAVOR ECONOMY
Merits of Senator Manderson's ' Printing Bill
Ignored by Democrats.

Largely Discounted.

WASHINGTON , D. ( J. , Fob , 3. )
If Senator MandoMon does nothing more
ho will put tbo democrats In n hole on the
score ot "economy , " with bis printing bill
now before the senate. It bccamo evident
today that this measure , which is in the in
terest of true economy , and which would
snvo the government about $303,000 n year ,
Is opposed by the democrats ot the senate
Just ni a duplicate- it has already bocn de
feated by tlio democrats in the houso. The
hill Is the ono agreed upon by the Joint com
mittee on printing and Is nonpartlsan , and
its general purpose Is to place the publication
nnd distribution of nil public documents
under the control of a superintendent to bo
appointed by tbo president.
This superintendent would perform , In a
certain sense , the duties of the managing
editor of an enormous publishing concern.
Ho would dotormluo what ought to bo printed
for the information of the public and what
was not worth the expense of transferring
from manuscript to typo , within certain lim
itations and in tha absence of spcclllo in
structions from congress. Ho would also
decide how largo nu edition should bo pub
lished of any particular document in the
absence of specific direction by law.
How KxpoiiHes Coulil lie llcdiiceil.
Under his direction would nlso bo the foldIng -
Ing , wrapping nnd mailing of the enormous
mass of printed matter which is distributed
over the country from Washington every
year. At present all this worn Is done by
employes ot the senate and houso. These
omoloyos nre In many cases paid by the num
ber ot documents folded. This hns led to
abuses , under which the work has boon
' farmed" out by persons who draw the full
pay for doing It , but who perform none of the
duties. Tbo system has also many other
abuses and is extremely expensive.
It will bo scon , there fore , that Senator
Mandorion's'bill , which was before the senate
ate today , is aimed directly toward that re
trenchment In expenditures which the demo
crats so blalantly profess to favor. On ac
count of tho. loss ol patronage this bill was
defeated bv the democrats In the house just
us it is now being opposed by the democrats
in the senate.
Ouo of the most potent reasons for the op
position from Iho democrats is the fact that
the measure abolishes the clerk's document
room of the house , where about a dozen
democrats are employed. The expense of
that room In itself is not'over f 12,000 or ? 15- ,
000 a year In salaries , nnd yet the proposed
law would save to the government $ . " > 00,000
annually , .accordlnc to the estimates of the
democrats nnd republicans who had to do
with Its compilation.
Senator Mandorson is maklntr a strong
light , but it will likely fall in the fnco of
democratic duplicity and domagoguery.
In Fiivor ol 1'uro 1'ood.
Senator Paddock is pushing his pure food
bill to the front with n hope of having it con
sidered by the senate this week. It Is n sort
of supplement to the senator's important
meat'lnspection act passed in the last con -
gross aha llko that bill It has special appli
cation to the packing interests of Chicago.
Senator Pnrldock says that ono of Iho main
purposei of tbo pure lood bill is to put an
end to the practice of unscrupulous packers
in using the carcasses of animals which have
died of'dircaso or have been "horned" to
death in transit. It is also broad enouirh to
take tbo place of the "puro lard" bill which
attracted so much attention last year , as the
Paddock measure provides penalties npalnst
tha. adulteration ol lards as well as all ether
foods.
The senator has recently made material
amendments to his bill. It will bo urged to
the senate this week.
Objects of the Measure.
Its provisions , so far ns they apply to the
pacliing industry , are ns follows : "A food or
drink shall bu deemed to bo adulterated :
First If any substance has boon mixed and
paclted with it so as to reduce or lower or
Injuriously nffect Us qunllty or strength , so
thnt such product , when offered for sale ,
shall bo calculated and shall loud to deceive
thopurchaser. Second If any inferior suo-
stance hns boon substituted , wholly or In
part , for the article , so that the product ,
when sold , shall tend to deceive the pur
chaser. Third If auy valuable constituent
of tbo article has been wholly or In part ab
stracted , so. that the product when sold shall
tend to decelvo the purchaser. " E'ourth If
it bo an imitation of , and sold under tbo spc
clllo name ot another. Fifth If it
bo mixed , colored , powdered or stalnod
in n manner whereby damage Is
concealed so that such product whin sold
shsll tend to deceive the purchaser. Sixth-
It it contain any added poisonous ingredient
or any Inorredlout which may render such
article injurious to tbo health of tbo people
consuming it. Seventh If it consists of the
whole or any part of a diseased , Illthy , de
composed or putrid animal or vopoUblo sub
stance , or any portion of an animal unfit for
food , whether manufactured or not , or If it
is , the product or a diseased animal or of an
animal that has died otherwise than by
slaughter. "

LINCOLN , Nob. , Fob. n. [ Special Telegram
toTncBnR. I The Lincoln end of the guberna
torial situation is practically unchanged. Gov
ernor Thayer has not yet made a tender of the
ofllco to Governor Boyd , nnd ns far as any
thing ho will say himself Is concarnod ho has
not made up his mind Just what ho will do.
Ono of Ins Intimate friends said this evenIng -
Ing that the only thing that stands In the
way of nn Immediate tender of possession is
the uncertainty that exists in Governor
Thnyor's mind M to his legal right to turnover
ever the oftlco until ho Is authorized to do so
by some order or mandate of the ohraska
supreme court.
From nvanU which have transpired today ,
however. Governor Boyd need not bo sur
prised to receive n communication from Gov
ernor Thayer by next Friday at the latest
tondorlne him possession of the ofllco. Every
thing points to this fact tonight.
Adjutant General Cole and Oil Inspector
Games have tendered tholr resignations , to
take effect on the nay that Governor Thayer
relinquishes the ofllco. Dr. Knnph of the
3tnto Hospital for the Insane , Warden Hop
kins of the penitentiary and other appointive
oftlcers were in consultation with Governor
1'hnycr today and It Is believed their resig
nations will also bo placed In the hands of
Governor Thayer , If they have not already
boon presented.
Governor Thayer denies most emphatically
that'roquosts have been pouring In upon him
b. tnajl or telegraph to glva up the oOlco. Ho
also denies the report circulated in Omaha
this afternoon to the effect that ho will leave
the state his wcok. Ho starts for Texas
Monday , not before , and it Is the general
belief that bo will leave all oflloial cares and
