[ Special Telegram to Tun BKK.I After a protracted session re uniting from a call of the house , thu legis lative Joint convention took an ineffectual ballot for senator at 1-IO : this afternoon and then adjourned. The republicans had barely rctunicd from their caucus to their seats in the house when the scnato filed in , and shortly n f tor 'J o'clock the lieutenant governor ordered the clerk to call the roll. There were 125 present , the absentees being Clarke , Kloke , Ixibcek , Kossler. Ixxikncr , Nnson and Wilson. Watson nt once demanded a call of the Joint convention , and it was backed by a si-oro of republicans. The roll was again called under the formal call , and when the absentees were announced the chair directed the sergoant-at-arms to close the doors. An exodus was immediately Inaugu rated among the spectators , and the chair felt called upon to state that If any one wanted to gut out It would bo well for them not to stand upon the order of their going , but go at once , as the doors were not to bo opened except by written order of the president. That sufllced to clear the lloor and lobby of about .TOO or moro curious spectators , whoso curiosity was not Intense enough to Induce them to take the chances of a sleeo. The direct result was the still further crowding of the galleries , which had seem ingly been crowded to their fullest capacity bo fore. \Viirriintii for th Alm-iitrei. Warrants were at once made out for the several absentees , nnd while they wore he- ing handed to the scrgeant-at-arms four of the much wanted men entered from the clonk room and passed totheirseatsnuiid cheering , which the chair at once suppressed. The chair censured the sergoant-at-arms nnd his assistants for admitting the mem bers and instructed them to admit no ono else without an order and to bring absentees before the bar of the Joint convention. Nnson stated that Senator Clarke was very ill at his homo in Omaha and moved that ho bo excused for the day. It was so ordered , as there was no objections. Warrants for Klokc and Lockuor were placed in the hands of Scrgcant-at-Arins Alloy of the scnato and ho took his de parture with Scrgcant-at-Arms Dungan of the house following closely at his heels.

When the president in quired what disposition bo made of him , Dysart moved that'ho bo fined $5. Watson moved that ho bo excused and Ihu motion jirovallcd. Locknur had. dodged , tUojofllccr and taken Ills scat , but was discovered and towed up to the h.r , whon-ho was also excused. Watson moved to dispense with a further call of the convention , but as u precautionary measure before doing so tbo chair ordered roll call to ascertain if all were present , us name of the members had been temporarily excused by the chair. It revealed the ab- i > eiico of Senator Campbell. Barry moved a call of the house in order that the missing Independent might be found , Imt was informed that thu body was still under call. Thu sergcant-nt-arms was directed to find Senator Campbell and "invite" him in , but not to arrest him. Ho was soon in his seat , nnd further proceedings under the call were dispensed with. The reading of the Journal was likewise dismissed and the roll cull or- Oercd to vote on senator. The Siinin Old Story.

To this Kruso lij. > ctod , and the speaker ordered the clerk to proceed , McKcsson requested the speaker-to state upon what nile he based his ruling , nnd re newed his motion. Rhodes arose to a | K > int of order and shortly quoted the constitution , the statutes , Gush- Ing's manual and the blue book , and talked until finally Watson shut him off by raising another point of order. Ho asserted that when the speaker took his oath of ofllco ho swore to be fair and Just to all parties. Ho iisuted that It was the duty of the chair to uiako a ruling on his \Hilnt \ of order at once. Some ono on the othersldo retorted that at one time , four years ago , when Watson was speaker , ho took three days in which to do- cldo a point of order. Watson denied the soft Impeachment , and created a sensation by doClarinV that Inus- iiuieli as the speaker did not propose to give them a ruling ho called the republican mem bers of. the house to moot In the' supreme court room fora conference. Casper demanded a call of the house , but O.ikloy. McKcsson and others laughed sar donically and started for the door. Outvoted thillepiilillemm. . * Casper shouted ; "Woll , go ahead if you dare. If you follows want to help boost a Kiild-hug democrat into the United States senate , 1 guess wo fellows can stand it. " The speaker then ruled that the reading of the Journal could bo suspended by a votu of llfty-ono members. The roll call on the mo tion lo suspend was ordered nnd It was lost by a vole of ! i8 to 40. The reading proceeded , while the republicans gradually slid out of their seats and passed from the hall. Casper then demanded a roll call to ascer tain whether or not a constitutional major- < ty was present. The roll call revealed the presence of fifty-four members , all Inde pendents and democrats. The majority then rolled up Its sleeves and went to work. Unit n Lot of t'lin. Reports of standing committees were pre sented and the calendar was loaded down with the weight of forty or fifty additional bllli.

Mr. Howe Introduced a bill to provl-lo for a commission to rovlse the constitution. The bill Is as follows : UK It cn.icled by thu legislature of state of Nebraska : Section 1. That the governor Is hereby empowered and directed to appoint a board of commissioners composed of three citi zens , ono from ouch of the threw political pnitlc.s that polled Hie blithest vole nl the last general election , ulio o duly It shall bo to make a revision of the constitution of this Mute. Sec. U. Said commissioners shall meof at the capltol within ono week from tbo date of their appointment , and shall elect ono of their num ber as president and ono of thuir number us secretary.

Sec. 8. Whereas , an emergency o.Mst.s for the earnest need of this law , this act .shall' take ctl'oct and bo In force from and after it passage - sago , Taclilnil Appropriations ARitln. The house then wont into committee of the whole , with Jensen In the chair , to con sider the general appropriation bill. The first division taken up was the appro priation for the Institute for the Deaf at Omaha. Nason offered several amendments to increase the amount appropriated for the care of the Inmates. Ho spoke vigorously as to the needs of the institution , but his arguments fell into curs as deaf us these of the inmates of the institution whoso causa lie was championing , and the bill stood as it came from the hands of the committee. The contest of tlio afternoon came over the attempt of the members of the house to increase the appropriation for board , fuel and clothing for the Inmates of the Indus trial homo at Milford. Burns led the light , being ably assisted by Cornish. The latter declared that the management of the insti tution had not been consulted as to the needs of the homo and that the committee on ways and means did not know whether it was dealing fairly or not. I'li-a for Unfortunate Girls. Burns made the speech of the afternoon. Ho pictured the distress of the unfortunate girls sent to that Institution by their neces sities. These unfortunates , ho asserted , were the victl ms of the perfidy and hcart- lessness of man. It was nothing moro than fair and right , he maintained , that the girls who went to that homo should bo properly cared for. Stevens took advantage of the debate to attack the present system of government. He declared that if the American system of government compels girls to sell their souls for bread the system should bo abolished. Burns retorted that , it was not the vicious girl that went to the home , but the Innocent and confiding who had been the victims of misplaced confidence. Dobson tainted to the homo as ono of the fruits of modern civilization. Alluding to the statement in the report to the effect that the number of girls In the institution had in creased in two years from thirty-four to seventy-four , ho wanted to know what the world was coming to and insisted that some thing should bo done with the libertines who were responsible for the ruin of so many trusting females , KiUhlu rift mi Kxnnipli- , Carpenter defended the Increased appro priation. He claimed that oven uncivilized Uussla did a great deal for this class of un fortunate.- ) , and thought that enlightened Nebraska could do as much. Hhodcs airain road from the statutes , and wanted to know why the printed reports of the institution woru not on thu members' desks. Ho asked the clerk to road another portion of the statutes. "Head it yourself , " was the Injunction of the speaker pro tern , and the gentleman from Valley proceeded to enlighten the house from the word laid down in the stat utes In such case made and provided. Gas per asserted that too many crocodile tears v ere being shed over the j > oor unfor tunate clrls who were supposed to bo at the institution. Ha knew of instances , he said , where girls were taken from the High school and sent away ostensibly on a visit , but in reality to go to Milford in order that they might conceal the evidence of their shame. No ono was shedding any tears over these girls unless It was some broken down old sport who had managed to bo elected to the k-nislaturo. This brought Burns to his feet with n re cital of the passage of scripture which su'g gests to the guilty man that ho sh. , ho first doniic , or words to that effect , 'x ho vote was then taken on the amendments and they were defeated by a vote of SIS to 45.

An unsuccessful attempt was made hj LlngonfoltL-r to tack on the inevitable appro priation of $15,000 for the payment of bounties for the destruction of wild animals but it did not go , Tito committee rose nnd the house ordered the bill engrossed.

Wyoming Iloiuiirratt IJiuililu to llftldo on if United Mutes Senator. iiBrr.XNE , Wyo. , Feb. 0. The fight for the United States scnatorshlp Is growing in Intensity and is stirring up such bad feeling In democratic ranks that the election of a re publican or a deadlock to the end of the ses sion are among the possibilities. On Satur day nineteen of the twcnty-ono democratic members agreed in caucus to vote solidly for three ballots for A. L. New , AV. H. Holliday , George T. Beck and S. T. Corn in order to give the populists an opportunity to Join with them in electing any one of the four. Eighteen of tne democrats have adhered to the caucus. The other declines , as ho claims underhanded measures have been used bv Now to accomplish bis election. Two bal lots have been taken since the arrangement , New receiving eighteen votes on each one , the jwpulists voting for ono of their own men , William Brown. The New forces have succeeded In getting Kussell , u republican member from Uinta County , to leave town , making the number necessary to u choice but twenty-four votes. If the populists fail to come to Now's su | > - uort on tomorrow's ballot , and the democrats give Holliday , Corn and Beck the same chance they have given New , the problem will bo solved , possibly on Wednesday's bal lot. If Now's supporters , however , fall to meet the ilrst three , the deadlock will con tinue , or the populists will turn to the re publicans. All Fulled to Klect Neimrorx. BISMAUCK , N. D. , Feb. .

Twenty applicants for the position of tele phone operator at the flro and police alarm headquarters were examined by the police Commission last night. John D. Petty was appointed to thu position. Oflleer Burrows was on the carpet charged with drinking while on duty and was sus pended for lif teen days. The protested liquor license case against Moriu , Sherman a veil bo and Loetist street , was heard and u decision deferred for ono week in order to pet tiio testimony In shape. Police ofliccrs lost 1011 days last month on account of illness and annual loaves. James P. Ilansen , special policeman on Cumlng street , resigned. Then there was a long discussion regard ing the Kyner bill now buforo the legislature regulating the salaries of jwllco oillccrs. The bill prxnidcs that a patrolman's pay shall not bo less than $ rn and not moro than $85 , per month and that in consideration of his raise in pay the ofllcers are to forfeit all witness fees in court. Every member of the board expressed himself as being opi > osed to the passage of the bill , as it would decrease thu num ber of men at least three and pos sibly live , unless , of course , some meas ures were taken to increase the police fund. Air. Coburn thought It all wrong to cut oil witness fees and said that it didn't amount to much anyway and that the police were entitled to such little perquisites. A protest from the board will bo sent to the house of representatives and to the scnato and the commissioners will use all their Influence to defeat thu proposed legis lation. Thu annual report of the commission to the mayor and city council was read. In this report the estimated oxpensu of the police epartment for the coming year was llxeil at § 100,000 and * I2r ,000 for the tire department. A balance of jS.ll.VS was left over In the lire fund , but it will take nearly all of that amount to pay for the water tower and get it in shape for service. The need of in creased lire apparatus was mentioned and a down town engine house was recommended , also thu purchase of two now steamers. At a recent meeting of the Police Relief association that body asked permission to graduate Its scale of death premiums rang ing from f)00 ) for ono years service to $ SU ) for from four to live years service. The comiul'tco to which the matter was referred reported an amendment to the section scal ing the bcnellt from 1200 to $000. This amendment will bo sent back to the relief association for its opinion. Current Topic dull. The question discussed at last evening meeting of the Current Topic club was worthy of u much larger audience than that present In their rooms InthoYoun'g Men's Christian Association building. The subject undcrconsldoratlon was "How Far the State Should Provide Higher Education. " H. I. . Day look the position that the state should not only extend itlfibscoiw of higher educa tion , but should extend financial assistance as well. The oplttttltn was discussed by Mr. S. H. Rush. Owing to the unavoidable ab sence of Dr. Duryoti , Prof. Ix-wls presided. Mr. Lewis coitjtunvlcd that It was the province of the stalo'tb foster nnd encourage iilgher education and thereby wean men away from the anarchistic tendencies of the times.1 tabor unions \v .ro nil very well , but the spirit of anarchy noticeable was not to Lw crushed by morn organization among the laboring classes. Education was what was required. If the state'docs not educate nnd supK | > rt higher education and teach people how to govern themselves the result will bo anything but pleasant' ' to contemplate. D. C. DIcaver took issue .with the s | > eaker with referencn to his reuwrks on anarchy. Mr , Rush pr , i'Jilted the negative side of the question in a forcible manner and the chair lirleflv summed up thu arguments rather ad versely to Mr. Day. The next subject for consideration will bo "Is It Advisable to An nex the Hawaiian Islands. " PADDOCK fCOXTIStT.I ) WOM flllST 1'A(1E.

Murphy wore white trunks and black bolt and Grlftln had on red tights and the American Hag as u belt. Grillin was the favorite In the betting , but Murphy had an excellent following. Round 1 Murphy started in , bent upon doing his man iitouco , but Grlilln landed a hard loft , which drove Murphy back. The round was of the hurricane order , and It was plain that Grillin had more science , but when Murphy hit it was for keeps. Murphy rushed Grlilln to the ropes , covering his mouth with his hand. Griflln pursued his old tactics of not going back a step , only when Murphy forced his left and got a hard right for his pains. Round 'J. Grillin forced and the liveliest kind of struggling followed. They went to in-lighting constantly and the imnching was of the liveliest kind. Murphy , in one of the rushes , knocked Griflln clean through the ropes with his shoulder and on another occa sion knocked him to the lloor with his body.

Wiirinod It t'p tor thu Antlpodeiin Hound n Murphy led , Grlilln countered a hard left , forcing Murphy to his knees. When he got up the Bniintreo lad began pounding him , but got a stinging left In the nose , which started the blood. The light was bulldog-like during the balance of the round. They cliucheu nnd punched while locked together and did everything but kick and bite. At the rate they were fighting they could not last ten rounds. Grillin tried to throw Murphy , but the ropes saved him from a possible foul , Murphy , Instead of lightinn'Sunroly. | .would run his head into Griflln's.cliest. Uriflln stopped that by a pretty uppercut. Murphy was bleeding from the nose. Hound 4 The game was a trifle hot for Murphy , and ho adopted shifty tactics , only closing in When ho got a good opening. Grlf- tin hud to force the lighting , and in ono of his ihad rushes ho brought ills face In con tact with Murphy's head. Murphy was very clover at long range , but Griflln was aware of that fact and forced the lighting for all ho know how. Hound 5 Grillin gave Murphy some ter rific jabs and had him groggy , forcing him to the floor several times ; Murphy had only 0110 hand on which ho depended , which was his right , but the lad from Uralntrce was not In Its way. Murphy was groggy. Ho would take blow after blow square in tlio face and wait for an opportunity to get in his right. Tlio round was not fair lighting , Murphy continually fouling with his head. When time was called the Australian was about "done up. " Too Hot for air. Murphy. Hound 0 The men lost no time in getting to work , and it was smash , bang with both hands all through the round , Murphy laying fora knockiout blow with his right , but in doing so ho received many left hand uppercuts - cuts that made him bleed profusely. Ho had his nose knocked nil out of shape and was pounded so hard that ho was quite groggy at the call of time , and had tlio round lasted much longer ho would have been out. It was the most rapid kind of fighting , and it could not possibly last long at such a terrific rate. Murphy landed a dozen or moro right hand swings on the side of Griffin's head , but without effect , whllo the uppcrcuts and straight rights Griffin delivered fairly mowed Murphy to the floor. Hound 7 Murphy started Into do some heavy work , but Griffin met tihn with a hard loft on the mouth and landed on his nose with his right. They came together like mad bulls and Murphy forced Grinln to the floor. When ho arose Murphy went at him swinging his arms like windmills. They rushed at each other like demons , when Grltlln shot out his left , which settled in the pit of Murphy's stomach. Down ho went , groaning , completely knocked out.
