In the practical legislative work of tlio sen-
nto was mailo today. Immediately after the
routine morning business the committee on
appropriations assorted its right of prece
dence and maintained It up to the time of ad
journment. It oven refused to yield to the
urgent appeal of Mr. Harris , democrat , from
Tennessee , to lot him report n substitute for
tho'houso quarantine bill or to have action
upon It.
The fortification bill was the first of the
general bills to como before the senate , and
it was passed nfter n rather interesting ,
though not novel , discussion on the subject of
coast fortifications. The army appropriation
hill was then taken up and was passed with
liut a slnglo aincndm'jnt--incrcasng ! the
monthly pay of sergeants of the army.
The District of Columbia bill was next in
order. All the committee amendments were
agreed to except one : that was reserved for
action tomorrow , looking to tjie erection of n
$ . " 00,000 municipal building in Washington
city , and the bill went over.
Mr. 1-Vllon sent to the clerk's desk and
had read resolutions adopted at ii meeting of
the Chamber of Commerce of Han Francisco ,
"hailing with satisfaction the friendly offer
to bo made by the Hawaiian government to
cede the islands to the United States and
urging prompt action on the proposed ces
sion. " Uoforred.
The formications appropriation bill and
the army appropriation bill were passed and
the District of Columbia appropriation bill
was taken up and went over without action.
After n short executive session the senate
adjourned.
In thn Iloiuo.
The attention of the house today was
centered upon one item of the sundry civil
appropriation bill. That Item was the one
appropriating $10,000,000 for carrying on the
contracts already entered Into for the Im
provement of rivers and harbors. The Juris-
tlletional authority of the committee on ap
propriations was called into question. It was
contended that the appropriations should
have been reported to the committee on
harbors , but although Mr. Hohnan was one
of those who made this contention against
the power of the committee of which he is
chairman , the committee came out victorloui
nnd the item was decided to bo a proper one.
And further than that , the item withstood a
fusllado of objections and came out un
scathed. Without finally acting on the bill
the house adjourned.

WASHINGTON , D. C. , Feb. 1 . The Judiciary
committee proposes to outline the scope of
Its Investigation into tno whisky charges on
Friday and , it is said , will make the inquiry
a broad one. Mr. Brecklnrldgo of Arkansas
nought to glvo n tariff twist to the discus
sion today by introducing a resolution re
citing that the whisky trust received "pro
tection" to the extent of $ t.fiO a proof gallon
on the enhanced rates of duty on foreign
spirits Imposed by the McIClnloy bill and
providing that to stop the ' -gross favoritism ,
extortion of money and adulteration and
crime" ' the the
promoted b3' whisky trust ,
sumo tax shall hereafter bo levied on com
pound spirits as on Imported alcohol.
The republican senatorial caucus this
morning decided to put the territory of
Arizona on the same footing with the terri
tories of Oklahoma , Now Mexico and Utah ,
which at a previous caucus they dec ! Jed to
ndmit to the union. Mr. Carey of Wyoming
has been persistent in bringing about this
insult nnd now will nssurno the burden of
getting the question before the senate for u
vote. The far western senators are pro
ceeding uiwn the theory that there is always
a way to reach matters when the senate
wants to do so , nnd they propose that the
territorial admission bill shall bo reached or
know the reason why.

The republicans of the senate have taken
a poll of the members on the question of the
repeal of the Sherman sliver law. They find
that there is little probability of a repeal , as
only about eight democrats will vote for it
nnd there is a majority of seven or eight re
publicans against It.

Trnrhnni I'lizitn.
The opinion of the state superintendent of
public instruction regarding the legality of
expending public school funds for the nmiii-
tcnanoo of training Institutes lias placed the
president and secretary of the school board
in a decided quandary , nnd how to extricate
themselves from the dilemma Into which
they have been dumped , U u.question of
serious moment.
There Is at present duo the principal and
four teachers in the training school very
nearly f500 in salaries and It was further do
elded to expend $75 in preparing for the com
mencement exercises to bo hold this evening.
What to do with reference to paying
the salaries duo is the stumbling stone.
Secretary Conoyer said yesterday that ho
did not believe either himself or the presi
dent would bo justllled In signing the war-
runts. At the meeting of the special com
mittee , held Tuesday evening , the letter of
the superintendent seemed to have a depressing -
pressing effect on the former decision of the
majority to maintain the training school.
Nothing will bo done until the full board de
cides on some action.

OliMtrom-JohiiKtou Concert nt the Hoyil.
Those who attended the Ohrstrom concert
at the Boyd Ii t evening wcro well rewarded
for braving the cold. The program wa ono
to please , nnd its numbers wcro rendered in
a muslclanly manner throughout. Miss
Augusta Ohrstrom possesses a soprano of
considerable power , flexible and definite' ;
behind her voice she has the spirit to Inter
pret. and the result is that whether , ns last
evening , she renders an aria from Vordl , a
Swedish folk song or n negro melody , she Is
always wonderfully satisfying. Her singing
of a llurld Spanish bolero was vociferously
received , and In response to her audience's
demand she gave the mostoxqulslta rendering
of ' "Way Down Upon IhoSwancoHlver. " All
her numbers were received with enthusiasm.
Her singing of Flotow's "The Last Hose of
Summer" created a sort of furore.
Miss Martina Johnston , who Is making her
first tourof America , and who jtosscsses Kuro-
poan reputation , shared the honors of the
evening with the prlma donna. Her Instru-
j j mcnt is the violin , and her work ranks with
that of the greatest lady virtuosos. Last
evening ono of her numbers received the
meed of a trlplo encore. Her technique is
admirable and in all her playing there is
character. J. Donncll Balfo's singing of
"Tho Heart Bowed Down , " was a feature
of the coiicort and Mr. Frank Porter's tenor
was hoard to line advantage in "Dreams , "
by Stelezkel.
The company had the support of homo
talent. Mr. C. A. Jacobson s.ing "In Felice , "
from "Krniinl , " with some success. The
Boyd theater orchestra under Mr. Butler
proved Its fine quality in thrco selections ,
the flute solo by Mr. Pedersen earning a well
deserved encore.
School or.Mllxlo Itfcltill.
In splto of the bitter cold the tenth public
rci-ital of the Omaha School of Music was
well attended last evening. The entertain
ment constituted the formal opening of the
now quarters of the school In the McCaguo
block and a most enjoyable program was
rendered.
The Hi'inccko quartet sang thrco numbers
and as usual their selections wore among the
most enjoyable features. Mr. Copeland sang
Sehumun's "Two Orcnadicrs" In excellent
taste and responded to a well-merited encore.
Mrs. Wakelicld's voice was heard to good ad
vantage In "Waiting" and again in a duet ,
"O , Beautiful Violet , " with Mrs. Nyo. Miss
Frances Hoeiler sang -'The Angel Came" by
Cowen , and Howlcy's ' "Twas a Dream" was
followed by n piano duet by Prof. Marshall
nnd Mr. Iloy J. Smith.
Ono of the most pleasing numbers was
Miss Ncola Ogdeii's rendition of "Absence , "
by Pease. Miss Ogden is ono of the most
promising of the young singers of the city.
Her voice is remarkably mellow nnd musical
in the lower registers , and she 1ms the good
judgment to discard chromatic effects and
sings directly from the heart. Her selection
was received with a spirited encore , to which
she responded with "Sweet Ocniviovo. " Mrs.
Nyo's solo was "Know'st Thou the Land , "
by Thomas , which she rendered with consid
erable dramatic effect. The principal charm
of Mrs. Nye's singing is her exquisite tone
shading , in which she is surpassed by few
vocalists. The program was concluded with
a selected number by the Kcinccko quartet.
I'rof. HnynoliU' Kxhlliltlon.
The entertainment given by Prof. Rey
nolds at the young Men's Christian Assocl
atlon hall this week surpasses anything of
the kind over seen in Omaha. At his enter
tainment last night his subjects were all now ,
ho getting control over six out of twenty
who volunteered. Ono of the most interest
ing tilings that ho showed his subjects was
the fall of Pompeii. Ho also produced a
complete state of catalepsy upon ono of
his subjects and a prominent physician after
examining him thoroughly and standing on
his body while it was supported only by hta
feet at one end nnd his head at the other on
two chairs , said It was the most wonderful
thing ho had over seen. A number of ladies
have signified their intention of having the
professor try his power on them tonight , so
that It will uo doubly interesting.

ASIUNGTOX , D. C. , Fob. 1. )
Mr. Clorcluiul has sent lib uHInmtum to
nprpRs on the silver question. Don M.
Dickinson brought Ilia ultimatum. It was
that the silver purchase net must bo repealed
or there will bo nn extra session. Mr.
Dickinson , nhvays i > leturesiiuo nml burdciuil
with Information for Mr. Cleveland's inner
circle , made his nppear.inco early In the day
and left n trail of information , speculation
and rumor behind him.
Ho had Just como over from n conference
with Mr. Cleveland and was duo to b3 book
with him tonight. Ho was on the lloofof
the house for nn hour before the session
opened , anil wan accorded much attention In
view of the close relation existing between
htm and the ptcsldcnt-clei-t. Tlw Tammany
men In particular clustered about Mr. Dick
inson and Colonel follows , Botirkc Cockr.in
and Amos Cummlngs each took turns In ex
changing views with him on the silver ques
tion. t
It soon developed that Mr. Dickinson's
mission was nn important one. Ho had come
to say with authority from Mr. Cleveland
that something must be done toward the
repeal of the Sherman silver purchase law
before the present session of congress ended
on March 4or else Mr. Cleveland would sum
mon nn extra session within thirty days
after his Itnuguration. This was the most
decisive step on silver yet taken.
DotulUof thorlnn.
Mr. Dickinson called on Speaker Crisp and
made known to him that he hud a message
of importance for him as soon as the
house fjot down to it. Mr. Crisp left the
chair and went to ibis private ofllco. They
were together for half an hour durinc which
Mr. Crisp was told that the wiping out of
the .obnoxious silver purchase law was the
llrst business to which Mr. Cleveland desired
Klvo his attention.
As Mr. Dickinson loft the speaker's office
ho said to TUB UP.E correspondent : "You
may say that cither one of two things will
happen , the present comves * will repeal the
silver purchase act , or an extra session will
bo called within thirty days from March 4.
It Is of inoro consequence Just now than the
other questions combined , and until it is set
tled other questions will have to wait. "
"How about Hawaii's
request for annexa 1
tion ? "
"It should bo granted. The next war , If
.
'thero is to bn one , will be on the ocean and I
wo have need of those islands. " Then Mr. j I
Dickinson turned his attention to Senator I
Carlisle , who was In waiting. For an hour
they were together In the marble room of
the senate.
Aside from Mr. Dickinson's espressed state
ment concerning sliver , and the extra session
there were many interesting reports con
nected with his visit. Mr. Dickinson's talks
with various congressmen , brought out the
fact that the incoming administration is not
only anxious to atinex Hawaii , but expects to
make the annexation of Canada n conspic
uous feature of the early days of the admin
istration.
K.tpccts n llcfloltitlon In Cnnadn.
Mr. Dickinson himself is nn ardent nnncx-
atioulst and in this it is believed ho voices
the views of Mr. Cleveland. A member of
the foreign relations commission with whom
ho talked , said afterward to TUB Unn corre
spondent : "That outbreak In Hawaii re
ported last Saturday will soon bo followed by
a similar outbreak in Canada. I knew long
ago what Was about to occur in Hawaii and
I know certain plans , which will soon tniitnrn
in Canada. I would no be surprised to see n
revolution In Canada nny time. I have
positive knowledge that plans in that direc
tion are being made. Plans of co-operation
are now being made hero. Speeches for
Canadian annexation will begin in congress
the early part of next week.
To what extent Mr. Dickinson shared or
or expressed the Canadian annexation sen
timent I do not know , although It was cur
rently reported that ho looked upon the ab
sorption of Canada as one of the desirable
achievements of the Incoming administra
tion. Mr. Dickinson loft tonight for New
York where ho will communicate to Mr.
Cleveland the result of his conference hero
today.
His visit gives the first tangible evidence
that the Sherman silver purchase net will be
wiped out nt nn early day , until now it has
been apparent that the various bills for the
repeal of the Sherman act would drag along
and expire with the end of the session , but
the message brought by Mr. Dickinson is
little short of an ultimatum from Mr. Cleve
land that the repeal must bo accomplished
before March 4 or else congress will bo called
together Immediately thereafter to accomp
lish that much desired repeal , until it is ac
complished us Mr. Dickinson says other
questions will wait.
Cleveland's Private .Secretary.
Accompanying the ylslt of Mr. Dickinson
today came the report that the private sec
retaryship to Mr. Cleveland had now nar
rowed down to thrco erentlemen. viz : A. W.
Lyman , formerly of the Now York Sun and
now editor of the Helena ( Mont. ) Independ
ent ; Walter Wellman of the Chicago Herald ,
and Mr. Edward Fleming , editor of the Buf
falo Courier.
While It is said the president-elect Has
brought the selection within these three
names , he has stated that ho would not
designate the choice until after ho has com
pleted his cabinet selections. Mr. Cleveland
stated to a gentleman who called uixm him
yesterday and who is in Washington tonight ,
that it was his intention to tender ex-Gov
ernor I. P. Gray of Indiana a place in the
now cabinet. Mr. Cleveland said that ho
had not yet decided which portfolio ho would
tender the ox-governor of Indiana , but were
it not for the fact that the hoosier was
totally Ignorant of all that relates to the
furm ho would ask him to bo secretary of
agriculture.
The president-elect Inquired about the Ju
dicial attainments of ox-Governor Gray in a
manner which led the visitor to believe that
the inquiry was for the purx | > so of learning
his Illness for the Interior department or the
postmaster generalship. Ho loft the impres
sion , however , that ho was much In doubt as
to the qualillcotlons of Mr. Gray when it
came to placing him tit , ti position requiring
legal lore. The suricf gentleman talked with
Mr Cleveland comsfrnlnj ; the recent report
that Judge Grcshatu .would . go into the cabi
net. Mr Cleveland said that ho would "not
Insult Judge Gresham tty offering him a cabi
net portfolio. " It wviuld savor too much of a
bargain , ho said , nid | ho did not dcslro to
place Judge Grcshahi In any such unfavor
able light. ' '
As In Ciuimllnn AfTiliM.
President Harri&mi "will send to congress
tomorro whls special message dealing with the
hiiiortutlon | of foreign goods into the United
States across the Canadian bonier under
consular seal. The Message will In every
respect conllrm the anticipation of Its con
tents which was stated In these despatches
a fortnight ago. President Harrison will
not. however , recommend to congress any
radical change In the present regulations by
which the Canadian Pacific railroad Is able
to use to Us own advantage over American
railroads the privilege of importing goods
under consular seal without any inspection
beyond that made by the railroad ofllclala
themselves at the ports of entry , thus leav
ing the goods to bo examined by the United
States custom oftlcors at their destination.
The message of the president will Incliulo
a corresjiondenco between himself and the
secretary of state which will make clear the
existing diftlculty. In this correspondence
President Harrison asks Secretary Foster to
require the United States consuls In Canada
to place under seal all goods consigned to the
United States fram foreign countries and to
be brought over the border , and states that
these seals will bo rigidly respected.
I'ri'ullur Pent lire * of tlm C'nsi1.
To this demand Secretary of State Foster
makes reply that the State department is
unable to comply , because It is physically
impossible for the consular force of the
United States itrCimidu to meet its require
ments , Inasmuch as a largo percentage of
the consignments reaching the United
States across the Canadian border come
from other countries than Canada , and the
volume of trafllc Is so largo that of neces
sity the work of inspection and placing
them under seal is largely loft to the railroad
officials.
The president's message will state that
there is no evidence to show that tinder this
method the custom revenues of the United
States have been defrauded , and in the ab
sence of such evidence there is no room for
executive at tion. The message will convey
to congress information as to all the details
of this question , which is likely to become of
international Importance , and which may
have a direct bearing upon our relations
with Great Britain , as well as an Important
Influence upon the imminent problem of
annexation of Canada.
The discrimination against the transconti
nental railroad of the United States in favor
of the military Canadian Pacific railroad so
heavily subsidized by the government of
Great Britain under existing conditions , will
bo made clear and the necessity of increas
ing our consular service in Canada will be
left for congress to deal with. T no message
will be exhaustive In its treatment and will
probably occupy at iloast thrco ordinary
newspaper columns. It Is quite possible that
the fact that this message will not announce
nny executive action changing the customs
regulations between the United States and
Canada , but will bo confined to a statement
of existing conditious to congress , may bo n
result of an anticipated controversy with
Great Britain , not over the annexation of
Hawaii , but over the entrance of Canada us
a member of thisunfb'ii.
I'urdoo to Snrppil I.amnr.
It is reported tonight upon good authority
that the president has selected as the suc
cessor of the deceased Justice Lamarof the
supreme court , Judgb Don A. Pardee of the
United States circuit court , of . .tho New-
orlcnns circuit. It is known that the name
of Judge Pardeo Is one of the southern mem
bers of the federal branch which was most
favorably considered by President Harrison
for this appointment. This announcement
may bo premature , inasmuch as inquiry
tonight of Attorney General Miller failed to
conllrm the statement that the nomination
of Judge Pardeo had already been made out
at the Department of Justice.

That is pantaloons , commonly
called pants , but as they are a
little bit better than ordinary
pants we call them trousers
and put a whole lot of them in
one pile to sell at $2.25 a pair.
Pants These we call pants , because
they are trousers whose quali

for which a great deal more is
asked. We ask but § 3.00 a
