Nob. , .Ian. 20. [ Special Tola-
Kram to Tun IJnE. ] Today's ballot in the
senatorial joint convention resulted as fol
lows :
With the single exception of Dobson , who
cast his vote for McKolchun , the inde
pendents enrolled themselves solidly for
Powers. Aside from this the changes were
immaterial and were as follows : Ames and
WlUmtill , from Morton to W. A. Paxton ;
McDonald , from Paddock to Majors ; Lobeck ,
/rom Carpenter to Paddock ; Carpenter , from
Ixjbeck to Paddock ; Uiiea. from Paddock to
Majors ; Nelson , from Bryun to Kclpcr ; Babcock -
cock nnd Le.ldlgh , from Morton to Boyd ;
Kaup retui ncd to Dawcs , and Keckley went
to Paddock.
The rally of the populists today to tlio
Vowers standard was brought about by the
determination of the anti-Powers faction to
force his nomination immediately in order
that ho might bo killed off before the open
ing of the battle proper next week. It has
been concoJcd for some time that Powers
would bo the candidate who was to receive
the caucus nomination of the populists when
ever th.it time came , and Iho opposition
within tlio party concluded that the stage of
the game hud urrlvcd when It was advisable
to allow him to make his spurt und then
send him to the stablo. It Is practically cer
tain that today's Jump took him to his high
water mark , as It virtually gave him his
party's support und that Is all there is in
night for him , at least until many another
ohango shall have been rung on the sena
torial chimes.

Ijixcoi-x , Neb. , Jan. 20. [ Special to THE
DEE. ] The chaplain in the senate this
morning breathed a fervent prayer for the
recovery of Senator Clarke , whose chair Is
ntill vacant. The Journal was road in part ,
nnd then further reading dispensed with by
motion of Mattes of Otoo.
Senator Darner reported the appointment
of a custodian of closets , and the appoint
ment was confirmed by the men who are
furnishing places for as many of the inde
pendent anil democratic camp followers as
possible.
Senator Gray then brought on another
interminable discussion over the question
of appointments by offering a resolution to
the effect that nil standing committees
which desire clerks shall apply to the stand
ing committee on employes.
Senator Campbell offered an amendment
to the effect that the secretary should place
no name on the pay roll which shall not llrst
liavo been authorized by the committee on
employes.
Senator Telft suggested an amendment
making It necessary for all members desiring
to introduce bills or resolutions to llrst secure
the permission of the standing committee on
employes.
Senator Moore spoke at length against
both the the original resolution and the
amendment. Ho considered it unusual to
deprive a committee of the prerogative of se
lecting its own clerk. It seemed to him that
for a committee composed of four members
of ono party and three of another to select
all committees was ' heuping an unnecessary
indignity upon tlio senators. Thu senator
i-cad the list of committees upon which the
republicans had n majority und showed that
none but the independents would bo injured
by the adoption of the resolution.
Senator Dala assorted that the senator
from Lancaster did not know what ho was
talking about. Ho claimed that yesterday
the senators on the republican side wanted
to put on thu bralces. and today they wanted
to put down the bare and lot in the flood.
Moore's motion to indeliiiitjly postpone
was carried , Dysurt , McCarty Babcock and
Halo voting witli the republicans nnd Ev

mony with the spirit of his olllclal oath that
ho should accept any railroad pass.
lu speaking upon the resolution Senator
Harris stated that ho proposed to compel
every senator to go on record in this matter.
His own hands were clean. Ho moved the
adoption of the resolution and demanded the
yes nnd nays. On objection .being mudo ,
however , consideration was deferred under
the rules.
Senator Dale came In for another biff from
the senate. Ho offered u resolution direct lug
nil clerks and employes to report to tlio sec
retary of the senate when not otherwise em
ployed. Ho explained his resolution bv say
ing that many of tlio clerks would bo idle
most of the tlmo nnd If they were under con

There was a little scene In the Creighton
block last night which the occupants of
several doctors' offices don't want to go
through again If they can get out of It. The
cause of all the trouble was a Jag and n long
Spanish dirk , both carried by "Dr. " William

recent arrival In Omaha.
Edwards eamo here to take charge
of the business of n couplq of

manager would give up the office ho wanted
to bo paid his salary which ho claimed
In arrears. Edwards tried the blurt game
nnd pulled a dagger , but It didn't work , so
the "doctor" from the swamps went out und
loaded on n cargo of Jag Julco. Ho then
visited the otMces of the specialists in the
Crelghton block nnd by threats and tlio
nourishing of his murderous looking knlfo
endeavored to drive these people away from

The trouble originated a short time ago
through a boycott begun against the road by
the Denver & Klo Gruudo , the latter line
withdrawing nil Its round trip tickets read-
lug via the Union Pacific. Otnor roads were
affected und before long the effect was
noticeable in decreased receipts and a gen
eral demoralization of passenger rates. The
order of yesterday will have , It is said , uu
effect that will bo startling. It means that
passengers going west or coming east in
order to reach iwints on the Union Pacific
must purchase their tickets over that reader
or ono of its brunches or else must bo turned
over to it at both Denver anl Omaha ,
otherwise the ticket will bo declared void.
All eastern roads excepting the North
western , Chicago it Alton and Milwaukee are
In the general cut-off to bo inaugurated Feb
ruary I. This same condition existed before
Mr. Adams assumed the reins of govern
ment , but his broad philanthropic policy
quite revolted against unchristian
methods and the Missouri gateways were
opened to tlio world. But Mr. Clark be
lieves In running u railroad for the stock
holders , Instead of niwii any humanitarian
principle , and ho inaugurates this condition ,
which cannot help but prove advantageous
to Omaha , as every tourist going to points
on the Union Pacific from the cast
must puss through Omaha instead of as
heretofore going by Pacific Junction if ho
purchased his ticket via the Burlington.

ilrncy Townril Monarchy
niul Orray.
For nearly two hours last night , Hlshop
Newman held tlio undivided attention of u
largo audience in the Young Men's Christian
association auditorium , while ho delivered
his lecture on "America Tor Americans. "
His hearers vrero thoughtful men and
women , \\ell representing Omahn , both
socially und intellectually. Among these
present wore many ministers , prominent
business and professional men and quite a
number of foreign citizens , attracted to the
hall to hear what the distinguished divine
would say on the subject chosen for his ad
dress. The views expressed by Hlshop New-
muu elicited frequent bursts of applause.
Shortly after 8 o'clock thospeakerentcrod ,
accompanied by Mayor Hoitils. In a Jew
words the mayor announced that ho would
Introduce to the audlcnco a great traveler ,
scholar and orator , and a thorough Ameri
can. After speaking of Hlshop Newman's
ntlmato acquaintance with the men and
tITairs of the nation during his long and
iseful career , Mayor llemls presented the
ecturer.
With a few irrelevant prefatory remarks
Ulshop Newman took up his subject by con-
Idcrlng the philosophy of the strength of
latloiM. The morality and patriotism of-tho
> cople , ho thought , make nations great , and ,
lespite laws and systems of government , the
lablts of the people are their strength
or weakness. "AH forms of goveru-
nent have failed to develop virtue or
suppress vice , " ho continued. "Laws cannot
control the tendency of humanity toward
good or evil it Is this tendency which In-
luenecs laws and nations. History shows
phat moral corruption inevitably precedes
lolitlcal destruction. Need I point out the
: ommonly known Instances which support
this factf Everybody knows the dismal
itory of the downfall of great nations in
biblical and secular history because of moral
degeneracy. But can any one ] > oiiit out tone
no one instance In the last 0,000 years
when a virtuous people have como to an un-
.imely end ! Recall the powerful nations
that have nourished and then perished , and
see if wo do not find that the real cause of
their downfall was duo to moral corruption.
Much Depends on the Cltl7.rn.
"As I said , much depends upon the people
on the individual citizen. The character
of the individual his moral nature inllu-
'iices , the destiny of the nation , as he is a
iart of the people and a component part of the
uition. Our glorious constitution , that doe-
.nnent which has descended to us through
the tears und strife of a country , was a mag-
nlllcent production of the genius of man as-
iilring to liberty and u nobler form of gov
ernment. Yet it iwsscsscs no special virtue
jnless wo have men breathing the Inspira
tion of our forefathers , who can support it.
"Republics and empires , built up by strong
i\nd moral races , have flourished , and then ,
with increasing opulence , become weakened
and degenerate and finally perished. It is
the verdict of history that when nations
; each u certain point in their progress they
begin to feel decay. Let us reverse this ver
dict und make this land the exception.
'There have been as many ruined repub
lics as monarchies In the past. For f > 00 years
[ tome was a republic and these were the
happiest years of its exisfenee. But
; ho tendency of republics is toward em-
lire , and from empire to decay.
This leads us to the most dlfllcult problem
: iow confronting statesmen permanency. It
is not national progress that should comnian
our most earnest attention , it is national
stability , the pcrinaneiico of our governrnon
and institutions.
'In the past the national scepter has
l > assed from one hand to another. First
ypt was the most powerful nation , then
Egypt's greatness became obscured by that
of Assyria. Persia followed with a great
race and then Palestine. The Unmans and
the.Greeks In turn were the great nations of
the world. Finally , the hands of a woman ,
Isabella of Spain , grasped the scepter and
then Bonaparte ruled Europe. England sub- ,
scquently became the greatest nation , but
tonight
America Crandor 1'lmnAll ,
"America is the land In which national
superiority is found. It is not so much In
martial glory , commercial prosperity and
sploador of intellect , though wo possess all
these , but it is In moral ideas , moral liberty
all that is beautiful in philanthrophy and
religion.
"But oven under the best forms of govern
ment the worst men may exist , just ns under
the worst form of government the best men
exist. Under the Stewarts , there were the
Puritans ; under Nero there were the
Apostles. "
Bishop Newman then spoito about Immi
gration. Ho produced fnets and figures to
prove that the low class of foreigners ad
mitted into the country retard instead of ad
vance the national progress. The per cent
of illiterate aliens entering this country
from Europe Is very largo und their presence
hero docs the country no good. He said that
of the drunkards and criminals In the conn-
try a largo proportion Is foreign
born. To the glory of American
womanhod , ho said , that of the
number of female Inebriates and criminals
reported , nearly all are foreign. Ho made u
powerful argument against admitting the
dregs of European nations into this country.
Ho thought there should bo no foreign
colonies o'r settlements of aliens preserving
thcfr national languages and customs on
American soil. J
No Hag should bo raised on American
soil save that of the United States
without government permission and then
only In compliment to some visiting
foreign dignitary. America should bo for
Americans. If foreigners enter this country
to derive benefit from the liberal form of
government they should leave behind them
their national prejudices and not endeavor
to preserve in the minds of their children a
lovoforany foreign land. He thought that
no foreign language should bo taught In the
public schools and that there should bo no
secular schools.
Antagonistic to Immigration.
Jefferson , ho said , opposed allowing for
eigners to enter this country , declaring that
it would result in national misfortune. The
revolutionary statesman was strongly antag
onistic to foreign influences , but now Joffer-
sonlan democrats are bowing down to the
foreign element and catering to the various
classes of foreign votes. A desire for polit
ical triumphs has mudo the followers of Jef
ferson forget the Joltorsonlan principles.
Eloquently and earnestly Hlshop Newman
laid bare what ho believed to bo the danger
of filling up the country too rapidly and with
an undesirable class of peoplo. In building
up a nation that is to last forever ho thought
only the best material should bo used. . By
allowing the low , debused , Illiterate and
criminal elements of foreign sxiiety to enter
the country , the government spread the seed
of disaster.
After Bishop Newman's lecture ho re
ceived many congratulations on his brilliant
effort.
Tonight , at the First Methodist Episcopal
church , a farewell sociable will bo given in
honor of Bishop and Mrs. Newman. It will
commence ut 0 o'clock , and will bo under the
auspices ol Kov. Frank Cnino and the ladles
of the church. Each guest will bo charged
25 cents a pinto.

Coroner Maul empaneled a Jury yo.-iterday
In the wise of Albert Kwlng. the young col
ored boy who died from the effects of poison
supposed to have been administered by Joe
Williams , also colored. The Jury found at
HID conclusion of the testimony that the boy
had died from poison , supposed to have been
administered by Williams and accessories.
Detective Vizard was the first witness ex
amined and repeated the conversation he
had had with Edna Ewlng relative to Will-
lams having visited her homo and displaying
something resembling rough on rats , saying
ho Intended to "do up" the family. The
chemical analysts of the stomach revealed
arsi'iilc.
The boy's /iither , Mr. Ewing. was put on
the stand and examined at some length
with but little result. Ho repeated the
statement that he made at the time of the
ixilsoulng In regard to Williams having made
threats to kill off the family , and also testl-
lled that after the first warrant was sworn
out for Williams ho hud followed the latter
through the central part of the city and
asked an officer whom they met to arrest
Williams , but the oftlcer refused to do it
until ho had communicated with thestation.
The two girls , Edna and Ida May. told
their stories over again. They admitted
that they were aware of Williams' attempt
to poison their parents and then tnlto Edna
as his wife and Ida as companion and go to
California. Some parts of the girls' testi
mony actually shocked the jurymen , as It
related to the intimacy of Williams with the
Histers.
Nothing which has not been published be
fore was developed in the testimony , except
some of the private life of the family , which
will hardly bear printing. The jury returned
a verdict of death by poisoning , the poison
supposed to have been administered by Joe
Williams and his accessories.
So far , no attempt , has been made by the
officials to arrest the girls , although If Wil
liams is caught they probably will bo taken
Into custody pouding his trial.
