WASTING TIMH IN T1IK SKNATK.
Nothing Accomplished During the Session
of tlio Upper HOIIHO.
LINCOLN , NOD. , Jan. 10. [ Special Tele
gram to TUB BKE. ] The senate did not con
vene until nearly 11 o'clock this forenoon
nnd the entire session was taken up with
the discussion of ono or two resolutions of
'minor Importance.
Tlio main question was upon the adop
tion of the report of the com
mittee on employes submitted yesterday.
Senator Babcock from that committee
offered a substitute to the original report
cutting down the number of committee clerks
from llftccn to four , but saying nothing
about future appointments.
Senator Tcfft offered an amendment to the
effect that no clerks bo appointed for stand
ing committees until their services were nec
essary.
Senator Dysart supported the amendment
offered hy the senator from Cass. Ho was
satisfied In his own mind that the adoption
of the report of the committee on employes
would lead to the same extravagance prae
ticed two years ago. Tlio senators should
consider tlio fact tliat they were elected to
legislate in the Interests of economy and re
/onn.
Senator Dale criticised Senator Dysart's
action in speaking on something not before
the senate , and was himself called down by
Senator Tcfft , who turned the laugh on him
by having his amendment read again.
Senator Harris offered an amendment to
the amendment , providing that the com
mittee on employes should appoint clerks
for standing committees whenever they
wore necessary.
Both amendments were lost , the indepcd-
cnts , with the exception1 of Dysart and
McCarty , voting % vlth the democrats.
Senator North's resolution directing the
secretary of state to phico the papers relat
ing to the Douglas county contest cases in
, the hands of the committee , on .privileges
nnd elections was called , but on motion of
Moore of Lancaster its consideration was
made a special order for 3 o'clock Monday
afternoon next.
The senate then adjourned for the purpose
of forming into convention with the house
on the election of a United States senator.
After the Joint convention the senate ad
journcd until tomorrow at 10 o'clock.
IN TIIK HOUSK.
Hcomony Dlneunspd , Illlls Introduced and
AlmuberH 1'ity Provided For.
LINCOLN , Nob. , Jan. 19. [ Special Tele
gram to TUB BKE. ] Eighty-three members
of the house were present this morning , the
ohalr announcing that eight had been ox.
.ijused.
The conference committee reported in
favor of the issuance of 200 tickets to the
floor during 'tho joint convention sessions
each member of each house to be. given ono ,
and the balance to bo placed in the hands of
the speaker for distribution. This brought
, bn a long discussion , and It was finally do-
< cldcd to throw the gates open to the publla
on these occasions.
The' ' ticket question was not settled there ,
However , as admission to the house scs-
"sions was taken up at the request of
the speaker , who wanted some protection
Irom the hordes that were daily making de
mands upon him. Stevens wanted the nuin-
l > cr limited to one for each member per day ,
.and Howe amended making the dally num.
ber three. The amendment prevailed.
Tlio speaker appointed the following com
initteo to Investigate the death of Convict
Powell at the penitentiary : Dlmmlck ,
Lulklcart nnd Kesslcr.
G. C. Shenhart was appointed proof
reader , and Ernest Gilford assistant copy
holder.
Woods wanted an attorney nnd stcnog
raphor engaged for the committee to in
vcstigutc the sale of school lands , of which
ho , is chairman. Goss of Douglas , who is
: also of that committee , showed that there
was no reason for incurring the expendi
ture by the reform chairman , and
Woods withdrew the resolution will
'the remark that ho was merely providing
-for the time that the services of such em
ployes might bo needed.
Brown Introduced a resolution
that no employes , with the exception of the
journal clerk , twelve any pay for days wher
'the house Is not In session.
Porter recorded a protest , and told lion
necessary it was that the postmaster should
, \jo on duty every day.
The speaker said that ho was keeping
only throe or four of the necessary employes
' on the roll when th'o house was not in scs-
ion , and would continue to ECO that economy
was practiced In this particular.
On Flrat KoiidluK ,

Cnr.TES'.SD , Wyo. , Jan. 10. [ Special Tele-
pram to TUB BEE. ] A genuine sensation was
felt for n moment today when In the liousu
Ilcpresontutlvc Snider of Johnson county In
troduced a resolution to impeach State
Senator TIsdalo for his action regardIng -
Ing the Johnson county Invasion. The sur-
prlso gave place to amusement when
the unconstltutlunallty of the action dawned
upon the members. Afterward Ituprcscn-
tatlvo Hurtl of Ulntti county Introduced a
resolution that a Joint cot.imitteo from the
senate and house bo api > oiiited to investigate
the Invasion. It Is certain th.it It will pass
the house , which Is democratic , and prob
ably the republican senate , whoso members
are 'desirous of punish I tier the offenders
against thu laws , but only such as are of
fenders.
The members of this committee are to have
$ Ti per day and have power to employ a i sten
ographer at JO. The committee is to com
mence Its labors after the adjournment of
the legislature , and to make Its report to
the governor within three months , and ! l,000
copies of the report are to bo published for
distribution. The resolution was referred to
the committee of the whole.
The resolution recites that it is a matter
of general rciiort that certain federal and
state ofiici-rs high In authority and in the
councils of state and nation were Indirectly
Implicated or participants in the invasion ;
that it has been openly charged that the ex-
ecntivo authority of the state was used to
subvert the Interests and objects of the in
vaders ; that a member of the higher branch
of the legislature personally participated in
the invasion ; that the reputation of thd people -
plo of the state was dragged in the mlro of
public condemnation by the proclamation of
the president of the United States and that
the good name of the state demanded that
these charges bo investigated and their
truth or falsity made known to the world.
SOUTH DAKOTA LUO. I STATION.
Sovt'nil Meimircs ot Minor Importance Con-
nldcrotl World's Fair Mutters Dlicumieil.
PiEiiiiB , S. D. , Jan , ' 10. [ Special Telegram
to THE BEE. ] The session ofitho house was
unoventful'today. The first half hour was
taken up in committee reports of varying
importance. Among the new bills Intro
duced the most important was one providing
for the organization of life and accident in
surance companies. Thoohousc then took up
the bill forbidding grain buyers charging
dockage and though warmly opposed by cer
tain members it passed by an almost unani
mous vote. Joseph McLeouth , son of the
president of Brookings college , was ap
tainted custodian of the library.
A bill which was designed to give farm
laborers lien for wages on crops was killed
by a vote of CO to 151.
In the senate , Crawford , Independent ,
moved that the attorney general bo In
structed to prosecute railroads for violating
the provision of the constitution forbidding
them to give passes for the purpose of
bribes. This called forth a Hood of elo
quence. Drockway , republican , poured forth
denunciation upon the Independents and
democrats for insulting honorable members.
The motion was supported by only two votes ,
but considerable feeling was aroused.
Later the republican members held a cau
cus on the World's fair bill. After clearing
the room of all reporters and democrats they
called Mr. Drockway to the chair , and Sol
Starr made a long and earnest speech for tho.
full appropriation of $75,000. Ho denounced
the independent legislature of two years ago
and counseled the republicans to beware of
a similar 'fate. His words did not seem to
carry the requisite weight , for the proposi
tion to make a donation of $30,000 was only
defeated by a "dexterous adjournment. The
World's' fair committees are inclined to bo
hostile to the commission which they claim
has sought to bulldoze them and declare that
more than Mils last sum .will not bo given.
IN ILLINOIS'
Threatened Split in the Doinocrutlo Hunks
Averted.
SrnmoMELD , 111. , Jan. 10. The threatened
revolt against the list of the senate caucus
committees -was averted this morning after
a series , of conferences between dissatisfied
democrats and Governor Altgeld , so when
the senate mot , the list , as prepared , went
through without objection , after one or two
changes.
Among the Wills Introduced was tno sena
torial apportionment bill. In executive ses
sion the senate , by party vote , confirmed
Governor Fifor's nominations of W. C.
Goudy , democrat , and Charles S. Kirk , re
publican , for the Chicago park commis
sioners , but rejected these of Joseph Stock
ton , S. N. May and Christopher Strassbeln ,
leaving these places to bo filled by Governor
Altgeld. ,
Ucsolutlons on the death of ox-President
Hayes were adopted In the house by a rising
vote.
Governor Altgeld sent the following nom
inatlons to the senate : Canal commissioners ,
A. Gcrdcs. Peorla : John A. Welch , LaSallo ;
W. A. S. Graham , Chicago.
Among the bills introduced in the house
were the following : For the punishment of
persons allowing thistles to grow on their
promises ; apportioning the state into sena
torial districts ; to regulate the width of
wagon and truck tires ; to prevent the hunt
ing of deer ; for local option.
Speaker Crafts adjourned the standing
committees , and after the transaction of
some other business , the house adjourned.
Hard for Wisconsin Dumourutg to Agree. .
AUmsox , Wis. , Jan. 10. Four more bal
lots were taken for senator at the session of
the democratic caucus this afternoon , there
being but ono change from the vote of yi for
Mifchcil , 2T for Bragg , 20 for Knight and 1
for Dodge , cast last night , On the Jlfth
ballot Bragg gained ono vote , which has
heretofore been cast for Dodgo. The caucus
then adjourned until 8 o'clock this evening.
Upon reassembling four more ballots were
taken , Mitchell gaining two votes from
Knight , making the eleventh ballot as fol
lows : Mitchell , 83 ; Bragg , 28 ; Knight , 18.
The Bragg and Knight men supported a
resolution to adjourn until Monday , which
was stubbornly opposed by Mitchell's fol
lowers , who wanted to adjourn until tomor
row. The combination succeeded iu securing
the adjournment over Sunday. The Mitchell
leaders , who had their candidate within
eight votes of a nomination , fought hard for
a continuation of the balloting , but the
Bragg and Knight men combined as n unit to
procure the delay. The adjournment is
looked upon as highly favorable to Bragg ,
for whom an undeniable popular undercur
rent prevails.

DKNVEH , Cole , , Jan. ll . Governor Waite
this afternoon sent to the senate the name
of T. J. Taranoy of Hico as adjutant general
and W. W. Ferguson of Lake City as Inspec
tor general.
The appointment of Dr. Coleman to the
position of adjutant general is with this
action withdrawn , it being thought advisable
not to present his name , as Or. Coleman was
wholly unfamiliar with military affairs.

HIIOUT IN HIM ACCOUNTS.
Alleged Dlcrep.inele * In the Account * of the
Kx-Aildltor of Illinois
SrniNflrir.Mi , 111. , Jan. 13. The first offi
cial act of the democratic attorney general
has been to draw up a legal document making
formal demands uK | > n the republican ex-
auditor of public accounts , Pavoy , for the
cash books and records of disbursements of
the insurance department.
For many years a subject of political dis
cussion has been the disposition of fees re
ceived in the Insurance department. The
law provides that the not amount of all fees
over and above $5,000 and the cost of perform
ing clerical tabor shall be paid to the state
treasurer. Ono interpretation is that the
state auditor Is entitled to $5,000 per annum
in addition to his ? lr ! , > 00 salary and. In addi
tion to that , which ho has the right to deduct -
duct as the expense of maintaining the insur
ance departments. The democrats have
never conceded this , and fought it during
the recent campaign. It is asserted tonight
that between the amounts collected In the
Insurance departments and the amounts paid
Into the state treasury there will bo found
unaccounted for the startling discrepancy of
$10,000 to f 18,000 per annum , reaching back
perhaps to 1870. It is said that the books
showing the expenditures of the Insurance
department of the auditor's ofllco have been
taken away and the fact developed that
similar records extending us far back as
187(1 ( are gone.
The Associated press correspondent to
night secured n wlro to Mount Vernon and
had a talk with ex-Auditor Pavoy. Heply-
ing to questions he said ho had turned over
all the public records to his successor. The
cash and bank books retained ho regarded us
private property.
When told about the assertion that
a discrepancy of $10,000 to $18,000
per annum would be found to exist in
the office accounts , Pavoy said there was no
occasion for any such statement and that ho
would start for Spriugllcld tonight.
The attorney general , when told of Pavey's
assertion about the books , said If they were
purchased by the insurance fund and used in
the insurance department , they are the
property of the state , and if so , ho would
take legal measures to force Pavey to turn
them over.
Ucpnbllrnn Momherfl.
TOIT.KA , Kan. , Jan. 10. The republican
house transacted no business and adjourned
until afternoon. The populists' election
committee submitted n report ousting the
republican members from Jackson and Heno
counties , holding their election to bo illegal.
The report went over until tomorrow.
The senate elections committee also filed
papers against six republican senators.
It Is probable that the republicans will in
stitute criminal proceedings against Chief
Cleric Hlch for having made alleged erasures
insertions in the official roll over the signa
ture of the secretary of state and great sea ,
of stato. This action is classed as forgery
by the Kansas statutes.
There were no now developments in the
legislative muddle today , unless the unseat
ing policy of the populists , which was clearly
manifest , can bo so considered. The populist
house was to have taken up the appropria
tion bill , passed it and allowed'the republicans
to test the bill in the supreme court. But
instead they devoted the day to a considera
tion of contest cases , in all of which the
committee thought the populists clearly en
titled to the seats.
The senatorial situation is more sadly
mixed tonight than ever before , and none of
the numerous combinations which have been
proposed seem to bo working satisfactorily.
The refusal of the democrats to consider any
proposition which the republicans might ad
vance in regard to state printer until nn
agreement wan reached on the senatorial
question has seriously jeopardized the dem
ocratic-republican combine , but the leaders
on both sides are still working to , make it

"A Hntmeg Mutch" nt lloyd'g.
"A Nutmeg Match" is the title of William
Haworth's latest play , which ) io styles a
comedy-drama. It was presented to an
Omaha audience for the first time last even
ing at Boyd's now theater. The story of the
play Is obscure , fragmentary and incoherent.
It Is written in four acts , but it should bo
played in three. Nothing more puerile , vul
gar and utterly unnecessary than the second
act of "A Nutmeg Match" could bo con
ceived , and its presentation before an intelli
gent audience Is unpardonable ; only
two words spoken during the entire
wearisome scene have anything to do
with the story. With this net cut out. the
drama might bo passable , but it would still
be commonplace. The play was evidently
patched together to introduce a working pile-
driver , which lllls the foreground of a
very effective scene in the third act. This
act has some merit , and the fight of the two
principal characters on the dock Is realistic
ally managed and docs not fall of effect.
The first act , too , presents a pretty picture ,
showing a line bit of scone painting in a
Connecticut landscape. But , all in all , there-
is nothing in "William Haworth's latest
play" to justify its existence.
Miss Annie Lewis is the bright particular
star of the company. She Is a clover little
lady and In the audaciously impossible part
of Cinders she is at times wholly admir
able , notably in her first scene. She sings
nicely and her dancing is not ungraceful , hut
try hard as she can she cannot redeem the
play from condemnation. Mrs. E. A , Ebcrlo
presents a roughly drawn carieaturo of a
Connecticut woman of the hard shell , dls-
agrceablo typo with considerable success ,
and as Farmer Lucas Mr. Eberlo is fairly
good. The players , all around , are better
than the play , which where least censurable
is flat , stale and unprofitable and utterly
without reason for being.
I'I'oto 1'oturson" nt the I'urimin.
Though by no moans a high class comedy ,
"Peto Peterson" is a farce at which a great
many people would laugh and derive some
enjoyment. There was a good attendance at
its opening performance at the Farnam
Street theater last night , but little enthusi
asm was manifested. The company is not a
strong ono. There is a great deal of singing
in the play and a great mnny very bad
voices. All the songs were old ones and they
were not cleverly sung. Kirk
Armstrong as Pete Peterson made up
well as the lubberly Swedish lad. Ho
might have been fairly successful had there
been a little fresh humor Injected into his
part. As it was , "Pole Peterson" seemed to
have been made up of old scenes from a
dozen comedies with which play-goers arc
familiar. None of the ladies engaged in its
presentation are interesting. There is not a
fresh voice , a pretty figure nor a suggestion
of talent among them. It is the same with
the men.

n Mnitcrpirco of Oratory.
PAUIS , Jon. 1" . Public interest In the
Panama trial is evidently Increasing as the
case draws to a close. Today the defense
opened , nnd the court room was packed with
people anxious to hear Maltro Barboux's
speech opening his case for his clients. Ho
argued volubly and at much length that It
was not alone moral Conditions that hud led to
the arrest and prosecution of the accused.
Political considerations , ho declared , had
much to do with the prosecution , and ho
emphatically Insisted that the men ho was
defending should not bo made scapegoats
for the ail vantage of any party or faction , or
to advance the designs of ambitious men.
Ho maintained the probity of his clients was
in no wise affected by the Indictment upon
which they were standing trial. Ho do-
ehircd that the construction of the Panama
canal was far removed from speeulatlvo'nlms. '
In Its Inception and progress the schema
had an honorable foundation , the specula
tion arose 'from It.
M. Barboux eulogized M. Ferdinand dd
Losscps as a man of the highest character.
So keen was his sense of honor that after
appearing before Magistrate Prmnet at the
opening of the inquiry ho was overwhelmed.
For two months ho had not left his bed and
during that time ho had not uttered a word.
Had the great Frenchman been able to ap
pear In court the whole audience would have
risen to salute the glory of his fame.
Maitre Burboux gave full vent to his oratory
tory in recounting the many struggles of M.
Ferdinand do Lesseps and laid particular
stress upon his statement regarding M. do
Lessops' contest with Great Britain over the
Suez canal. Ho then proceeded to examine
into the duties and responsibilities of the
directors of the company , which , he declared ,
had been faithfully and correctly carried
out. Ho dealt with the charges against M.
do Lcssops and endeavored to show that
they were unfounded.
In concluding his speech Maltro Barboux
declared that the heavy outlays made on be
half of the company were fully Justified ,
and he proposed to prove that public opinion
on this matter had beoV. misled.
When Mattro Barboux had finished , the
court adjourned until Tuesday.
M. Barboux's speech was a masterpiece of
oratory , and though his eloquence was fer
vent it never carried him beyond the point
where his words could bo construed as ad-
mitting'in the slightest degree anything de
rogatory to the characters or methods of
the men he was defending. The address
made quite an impression. It was listened
to by many lawyers'promincnt at the French
bar , and at Its conclusion M. Barboux was
complimented by htaleg.il colleagues.
M. Charles do fjesjieps was much over
come by the tributes 'paid ' him and his father
by the advocate and'warmly thanked him
for his eloquent ddfeifso.

Dark PlctnremifJ'rnn'ce ' Drawn by the Fol-
loworii of tliVf rrlnco of Orleans.
PAUIS , Jan. 10. The Comto do Huscnvillo ,
leader of the mo arhist party and general
representative of thcd Comto do Paris , has
formulated the Orlcanist program in a long
letter to M. Edoua'MHoove , editor of the
Soleil. * ' / -
After drawing rfflark picture of the cor-
tupttoii revealed Jbj the Panama Investiga
tion and the 'consequent consternation
among the true fribiftts of France , ho denies
thachargo that thU'Inonarohists ' have tried
to aggravate tho's ariUal.- '
Nobody could d'jiibl that the time had
come when a strong' hand and a strong will
were needed for tno hiJad of the French
people. The attention of the nation at largo
was absorbed by the men of the government
now in power. 'All havltlg anything to loso'
wore alarmed' by the socialist war now
waged against capital. Th6"government
had no power to stem this movement. The
monarchists ought to assume the leadership
and direct public opinion iu this
emergency. The organization of the
monarchist movement was complete , and
the monarchists should now seek to make
all conservative and liberal alliances
possible , without distinction. Precise in
structions would bo issued before the begin
ning of the general elections. Meantime it
was necessary to prepare for the conlllct and
for unforeseen emergencies , as a violent
crisis was inevitable. When the people of
Franco should tire of the republic the mon
archist party would bo ready to defend the
cause of labor and to drive back tho.eneinies
of society and to place the institutions of
Franco upon enduring foundations. That
which today seemed chimerical would then
become easy. The monarchists were bound
by loyalty to Franco to organize and prepare
the way for the prince of Orleans.

PAUIS , Jan. IU. M. Stepheno , the clerk
who testified yesterday that ho gave a list of
compromised deputies to M. Clemenceau ,
was recalled today by the parliamentary
commission of Investigation. He reiterated
his statements as to the list received by him

ticular the denials made yesterday by
Clonicnccau before the commission. M.
Andrlcux'8 list of KM compromised deputies
was shown to M. Stophcne , nnd ho recog
nized It as a copy of the list which Baron do
Heinach dictated to him , and which ho gave
to Clemenceau.
M. Ascolin , chief bookkeeper for M. Prop-
per , testitled before the commission that M.
Stepheno had mentioned the list to him before
fore 1889 , but had not mentioned an } ' names.
M. Hyeronimus , chief accountant of the
Panama Canal company , gave the details of
the purchase of the Telegraph.
The Llborto says the police have learned
where Arton is , and his extradition will bo
demanded forthwith. It is suggested that
ho is in London and has been in communica
tion with Cornelius Herz.
The Cocardo publishes a letter signed
"Cornelius Hcrz , " in which ho acknowledges
that ho received 727,000 francs from Baron
do Kelnach. This sum , however , the letter
says , was paid on frttVato account and was
In no way connected' ' 'with Panama affairs.
The letter denies tluCt ho , Herz , drove Baron
do Heinach to deathf-iby blackmailing him.
On the contrary , dhi Kcinaeh had tried to
poison Hew. Hcrz'prcmilses ' to send to Paris
documents which U-llf'vindieato him.

Losnox , Jan. 10. Intense excitement was
caused today nt Hove , a suburb of Brighton ,
mid In Brighton Itself , by the discovery of n
triple tragedy that had been enacted nt the
former place. Arthur Black , B.So. , a
teacher of classics and mathematics , his
wife and son , aged S years , were found dead
in their homo this morning by some of the
neighbors who called at the houso.
The child was found lying in a disordered
bed. Ho had been stabbed in the neck and
the bedding and the lloor wore drenched with
his blood.
The body of Mrs , Black , with the head ter
ribly battered , was lying on the lloor of a
room next to that in which the body of her
son was found. The only garment on the
body was a night dress. Trom the appear
ance of the wounds on the head It is thought
she was be.iten to death with n hammer.
On the lloor above the body of
Black was found. Ho , too. was attired In
only a night shirt. Ho had bled profuselv
from the nose and mouth , but there was no
wound visible. On a table beside him was
a bloody hammer and a table knife also bearIng -
Ing blood stains. A bottle that had con
tained poison was standing on a chair besldo
the table. It Is the general opinion that
Black murdered his wife and child and then
committed suicide by taking poison.
The couple had nnotucr child , whoso life
was undoubtedly saved by tho" fact that it
was away from homo on a visit.
