" .Vlio Hlmll I'rrnlilof
No sooner had the Joint convention been
called to order and the clerks concluded tlio
calling of the two rolls , than Porter claimed
the attention of the chair to ask If the con
vention was understood to bo operating un
der any rules.
Tlio chair replied thai ho understood that
the senate had adopted the Joint rules of
19U1 , and that the house had concurred in
that action.
'
"I think nil the old members will bear mo
out In the statement that there were no
Joint rules adopted in 1891 , " said Mr. Porter ,
' "therefore , there can bo no such rules
In existence. If a majority of the mem
bers of the house were of the impression
that there were such rules when they voted
to concur in the action of the senate , t
.think . it would bo well for them to rectify
, thcir action right hero. My sole reason for
-raising this point is that there may be no
.Illegality attached to tbo action that may betaken
taken by this Joint convention. "
The chair was of the opinion that the
Blalemenl of the gentleman from Merrick
was in a degree correct , but as it had been
understood that tbo lieutenant governor
should preside in the absence of a specific
rule , he would certainly bold that the lieu-
.tenant governor should preside In this case.
Porter said ho wanted to make a motion
to settle ttio whole question in n business
like way , and suggested that the proper
question lo put before the convention was
whether or not the Joint rules of 188 ! ) should
bo adopted as they stood or as amended in
Bomo way.
Hull HITII Spttlnil Onre.
Senator Tefft wanted to make a statement
before the chair ruled on the point. He took
it thai the house had voted understnndlngly
to concur in the action of the senate , nnd
that It was out of order to raise , a technical
question after the matter had been settled in
both bouses.
Porter insisted that it might be true that
thu senate had acted with a full understand
ing of the situation , but it was not so in the
house. What he wanted wns-not so much to
change the situation li\ \ this case , but to
settle It so as to avoid technicalitiesIn the-
fuluro. Ho was certain that a , single ballot
would tell the story , und every ono would then
bo satisfied.
Jensen called the attcr.lion- the gcntlo-
man fron Merrick to a statement that the
latter had made on the floor a few days be
fore , when llio matter was first under dis
cussion , in which he said that If Iho rcsolu-
ution was adopted the Joint convention
would bo operating under the rules of the
blue book. The resolution had passed , and
the speaker had maintained that the con
vention certainly had rules , and It was
useless for the gentlemen to maintain that
such was not the cuso.
Porter was sorry that anyone should en
tertain bard feelings , nnd ho would like to
have the chair rule as to Whether or not ho
would entertain1 a motion. The chair con
cluded that ho would not bo able to rule
until tho. question was submitted.
.Motion Kntcrtnlnril und Carried.
Porter then moved thai it bo the sense of
the convention that it was not operating
under Joint rules at this timo.
The chair said that ho was placed in a
delicate position. Ho wanted every member
to understand that ho wanted tha question
settled fairly and squarely. If n majority
had misunderstood the situation they cer
tainly had a right to make rules as they do-
slrcd , and ho would entertain n motion to
that effect.
The ruling was applauded , but the chair
shut It off.
Watson moved ns nn amendment that the
convention accept the rules ns laid down in
the manual of IS'Jl.
Wooda bobbed to the surface with bis
stereotyped demand for the previous ques
tion , but tbo presiding ofllccroverlooked him
Porter accepted tlio amendment ns tlio
main question nnd the roll was called. It
resulted in favor of tlio motion by n vote of
72 to 53 , and the lieutenant governor's grip
ou Iho chair was clinched.
There was another ebullition of Joyfulness
from the crowd and from the victorious mem
bers as well , but it did not lust long , ns Iho
chair remembered his former ruling , and llio
gavel sounded sharply.
Still Votcil fur P. O'Uiinnoii Hawe * .
When Kyncr's name was uttered by the
clerk during the culling of the rule , that
member recollected the demand of tbo clerk
oit the previous day that he send up the
double-barreled name of his choice in wrll-
Ing , and without calling the name of Patrick
O'Unnnou Hnwes ho said ho would write it
out and send it up.
Jensen objected Hint Ibis would not do , as
the vote must bo viva voce. Kyner fell into
line and the cchos of Patrick O'Bnnnon
Hawes' name went rollicking up among the
cobwebs in tlio state house dome.

LINCOLN , Neb. . Jan. 18. [ Special to TUB

senate Chaplain Johnson admonished the
members that prayers weru going up from
more than 200,000 homes for healthy legisla
tion , The Journal was read nnd corrected ,
after whlcli the day's proceedings com
menced In earnest , with President Correll In
the chair for thu first time in thn session.
The house sent n message to tbo effect
.that that body had concurred In the Joint
resolution adopting tlio Joint rules of tbo
session of 1S91 for the use of tills session. .0t
Senators Lobeck and Graham called at-
tcnllon to numerous Inaccuracies In the
prinled list of standing committees. Senator
Lobcck's name had been left from ono or two ,
committees , while Senator Graham's nanio
warn omitted from the Judiciary committee.

Senator Slowart called up his resolution
Introduced yesterday directingIho slate ;

wrappers and stamps from the per diem of
the members , but on motion of Kgglctton
the resolution was laid on tlio table.
Tubloil Ihirui'r'n Itvvenua Com million.
Senator Darner's resolution of yesterday
to provide for a commission consisting of a
lawyer , a business man nnd a farmer , to re
vise the revenue laws of the slate came up
for cousldcintiou , nnd an interesting llttlo
talk ensued before it was finally disposed lof.
Senator Tefft stated that Inasmuch us the
Btato w ii paying the members of Iho 10n
ate K. literal salary for their services , nle
would Ilka lo HOO them cxorci.io their brains.
Ho was not In favorof nppotnllngn eommls-
Men to servo for ait Indefinite laiiffth of time
nl nn indefinite nnhiry to revise the revenue
laws when n commltteo of the aonate wan
porfaelly comiwtcnt lo do Iho work. Ho
didn't want outsiders to furnish brains for
the senate.
Senator Dysart was of the opinion that
the senate was perfectly competent to han
dle the mutter nnd ho moved to lay the reso
lution on the table. The motion was agreed
lo nnd Iho cold wave already blowing be-
twcoti Senalois Dysart and Darner grew per
ceptibly colder.
Senator North's resolution referring Gov
ernor Boyd's message to the standing com-
mitlees of Ihe senate was agreed to. The
Plallo counly senator also moved the
delivery of the contest imixjrs to the com-
mlllcc of privileges nnd elections ; agreed to.
Senator Everett offered the following ,
which was adopted :

The report of Senator Babcock from the
committee on employes provoked a lively dis
cussion In which public faith was shaken in
the pretentious of some of the mqmbers to reform -
form and economy. The report recommended
tlio appointment of another variegated assort
ment of Janitors and n clerk for most of the
standing committees of the senato.
An effort was made to have ibe report laid
on the table , but It failed. Then Senator
Tefft suggested that the clerks for the
several committees should not be appointed
until tbo committees reported to the senalo
lhat their services were needed , and offered
an amendment to lhal effecl. In support of
his amendment Senator Tefft asserted that
n great many of tlio committees would have
nothing to do for some time yet , some of
thorn for several-weeks , and there could be
no Inconvenience or Injustice done if the ap
pointment of the clerks was deferred until
their services were required.
Senator Eggleston stated for the Informa
tion of the senate that two years ago several
committees employed clerks for the entire
session , and yet the committees wore never
called together.
Finally Senator Dale objected to the fur
ther consideration of thu matter , and it went
over under tbo rules.
Bv motion of Senator Moore , amended by
Senator Tefft , the secretary of the senate
was directed to prepare and have printed
800 copies of the legislative manual.

The following bills were then read for the
first time : By McDonald , for an act to regu

KIVO finally decided to submit the question
of the legality of the populist tious'o organ-
zallou lo Iho supreme court. They now
to see that the question will land

ilive It done with. To Ibis end tlio senate

ative bill. The housa will pass it and the
-overnor will sign It. Then the republicans
will enjoin the treasurer from making any
Kiymcnta under it on the ground that tlio
lull was not passed by the legally constituted
'louse. ' Thus the mailer will finally got into
court.
The republican senators mot with the re
publican house today In Joint session to elect
i state printer , but two of the senalors who |
were present yesterday absented themselves
: oday and there was no quorum present.
The two house * , still mooting on opposite
sides of representative hall , transacted con
siderable routine business today without
interfering with each other , and late in the
afternoon adjourned until tomorrow.
Business in Ihe senate is practically at a
standstill and no business of importance will
be transacted until tlio legality ofono or the
other of tlio houses Is finally decided.
Governor Lowelllng this evening banded to
llio Associaled press representative a long
statement giving his reason for recognizing
tlio populist house. In a nutshell his stalo-
menl of Iho reason is that ho believed the
populist house _ to be legally organized ind
the republican house to be Illegally organ izod ,
The statement quotes precedent for his ac
tion. In conclusion the statement says :
"Tho republican contingent has proceeded
iu defiance of law and the legally constituted
nulhoriUes of Iho state. If it were for a
moment granted that their claims are valid ,
the only authority competent under. the
law to pass itKm ] them has decided against
them. As law-abiding citizens , therefore , it
is their duty to-submit to the decision , nnd ,
if they believe an Injustice has been done
them , to appeal to the high court , the people
of the state. Any other course places them
in open relwllion against the legally consti
tuted authorities of the state and renders
them liable to the penalties in such cases
provided. It is my desire that there may bo
no further complications growing out of this
unfortunate affair. At the same time ills
my duty to see that the authority of the
state is respected by all citizens , and it
must not longer bo disregarded by those who
are now engaged in the illegal proceedings in
tlio liouso. "
The republican members of the legislature
met in caucus tonight. A ballot was taken
for United States senator nnd resulted :
Bishop W. Perkins , present incumbent , 3'J ;
Joseph W. Ady , ! ! 0 ; Lucien Baker , state sen-
ator from Leaven worth county , 11 ; no

met in Joint session shortly after noon.
After tlio conclusion of the nominating
speeches It was discovered that McGowan ,
republican assemblyman from San Francisco ,
was missing. The republicans tried to delay
proceeding until McGownn could bo found
nnd brought in , but they were unsuccessful ,
and tlio vote proceeded without his absence
being explained. The democrats , who had a
total of fifty-nine votes , voted solidly for
White , as did Burke , nonpartisan , nnu
Kcarns , populist. This gave the necessary
sixty-one votes , but Bretz , populist , from
Alamedn , interrupted the count and created
great ccxitement by charging lhat Kearn'a
vote for White had been bought , and that
Marion Cannon , populist-democrat congress
man from tbo Sixth district , had bought it.
Cannon * , who was present , hotly denied the
chargoand called Bretz n liar. Great con

PIEIIHB , S. D. , Jan. lb. [ Special Telegram
to THE BKK. ] What will be done for Iho
World's fair Is Iho great question hero Just
at present. The commission has labored
bard and long with thu legislature , but its
efforts have apparently been wasted. The
house committee has rciwrted unanimously
for $50,000 , nnd while Iho senalo commlllce ,
under Iho potent influence of Sol Starr ,
brought in a majority report "for -0,000 , the
more economically inclined oppose ihoddoa.
The first important debate of the session
occurred in llio senalo yesterday ou this
matter. Sol Starr opened the ball with n
strong speech in which ho declared that the
legislature of two years ago Immortalized
itself In shame by omitting to provide for
this exhibit. Mr. Thornby also of the Hills
made an earnest plea iu the same line and
was supl > ortod by Messrs , Dollard , Brocka-
way , Bevllt and others. Advocates of the
bill were considerably encouraged by the de
cision of the supreme court stating that the
legislature may , by n two-thirds vote , levy
I uu emergency tax , but It is the general
I opinion that neither house will pass ibo bill
for more thairfmlooo , the report favoring
$70,000 being rl'JccA-d by ti vote of l td SO.

WAsmxtrrox , 1) . C. , Jan. 18. [ Special
Telegram to Tin : Br.E. ] There Is likely
to bo Bomoiydtscordant music In tbo
house ' before Iho end of Ibis session
over < contested elections tnspltoof the efforts
of the innjorityinf thocomtnllleoon elections
olti
ti avert all dlsv.uiqlon in that direction. The
Fourth congrcvUijlinl district of Alabama has
been n field of ; Vwco contention forlwelvo
years. Not n man has received a certificate
of election to congress from that district in
thai time without allegations of the grossest
fraud and Injustice. The dlstricl covers the
' black belt" of that state and Is beyond
question largely republican , yet a democrat
is seated every time the democrats have con
trol of Iho lower branch of congress. The
plan Is lo Inllmldalc voters , then throw out
ballots , stuff ballot boxes nnd use every other
means : of presenting n primn faclo case for n
democrat. .
Louis W. Turptn , tlio democrat who occu
pics tlio seat nt present , claims to have been
elected by a majority 6f1,000 over J. V. Me-
Dunio , republican. McDulfio contested , but
the commllteo on elections , after investiga
tion , stood off the report find waived a con-
lesl on the floor of the liouso. The majority
reported in favor of the sitting member , of
course. Hcpresentallvo Henry U. Johnson
of Indiana reported for the minority in favor
of seating McDuffio. A day is to bo fixed for
the ' consideration of the subject In the house
and it is understood Unit Air. Johnson will
make a speech for the minority report , nnd
it 1 | will no doubt be an uncomfortable ono for
Iho ! majority.
There Is u similar case from tbo Seventh
district of South Carolina , known as "Bob
Small's district. " If Is also n "black bolt"
and with a fair election and honest returns
So palpable nud many were the frauds and
crimes in Ihia dlstricl lhat the committee on
elections , controlled by the bourbons , refused
to take up Miller's contest , knowing that in
vestigation would scandalize the demeernllc
party in South Carolina. Miller's majority
should have been several thousand over
Elliott. The committee refuses to takoup Ibe
case , but it is probable that it will come in
formally before the house iqmn its merits.
Mr. Johnson , It is hinted , may have some
thing to say upon this case ns well as tlio ono
from Alabama , which will bo of a senatorial
nature.
