sf the electoral vote , and this pissed off
without any incident of Importance. Grover
Cleveland was declared to bo the choice of
the people lor president and Adlal E. Ste

The leglslatlvc'nnproprlntlon bill consumed
the remainder of the day , but no result was
reached.
Ventordny'o Attraction In the Iliiuno.
As early ns 10 o'clock this morning a steady
human stream began to How towards the
great white building on Capitol hill ,
nnd long before an hour hud passed every
nrallablo scat In the galleries except the
ixjrtlons reserved for the executive and dip
lomatic representatives had an occupant.
At the time of the meeting of the house no
ono graced the bench reserved for the speak-
cr'n family. In the main public gallery , too
often made a place of rcjxjso for tired and
Impecunious citizens , were ladles In fair
raiment , anxious to witness n spectacle
which can bo seen but once In four years-
thai accompanying the counting of the elec
toral vote cast for the chief magistrate of
the nation .
In his prayer the chaplain said : "All
mighty God , as wo are today to witness the
sublime spectacle of counting and announc
ing the vote of this great nation for its chief
ruler , wo pray that Thy blessing may rest on
them who are the choice of the nation to
1111 the ofllccs of president and vice president
lor Iho coming year. Grant them health ,
strength , firmness , wisdom nnd moderation
In the discharge of their lofty duties. "
The speaker laid before the house the
house ( | iiaiantlno bill with senate amend
ment , nnd Mr. Kayner moved a concurrence.
Ohstructor Kllgurr.
Mr. Kilgoro was present , however , and
moved n rtvcss until V1.45. Pending that his
colleague , Mr. Anthony , Interjected n motion
to adjourn , nnd a motion that when the
house adjourn It be to meet on Saturday.
Mr Boutello suggested the house could not
adjourn today before 1 o'clock , as it would pre
vent the house from i > crforming a constitu
tional duty. Such an adjournment would
jirovent the counting of the electoral votes.
lie hardly thought his friend intended to do
that. [ Laughter ] ,
Mr. Anthony under the circumstances , I
withdraw the motion.
The motion to adjourn until Saturday was
lost by a vote of'J to 21.
On a division n motion for a recess was
also lost by a vote of 2 to 21.
Mr. Kilgore demanded the yeas nnd nays.
Mr. Houtelle vigorously protested. It was
obvious , ho said , that one or two persons
were trying to prevent congress from keep
ing out pestilence. Ho hoped that the
speaker would refuse to recognize them.
The speaker , in conformity with the
rules , did recognize Mr. Kilgore , who de
manded the yeas and nays , but received only
three backers.
Mr. Kilgoro made a tow more filibustering
motions , nnd ns ho took his scat , nfter in
effectual efforts and nfter Mr. Itayner's
motion to concur was agreed to , ho was
greeted with sarcastic applause.
On motion of Mr. Springer a resolution
wns adopted , admitting to the iloor i ladles
who have tickets to the reserved galleries
and wcro tumble to iind scats.
On motion of Mr. O'Neill , senate rcsolu
tlon was agreed to , authorizing the loan to
the World's fair of the picture "Tho Kecal"
of Columbus. "
A recess was then taken for a quarter ol
an hour.
Counting of the Electoral Vote.
After the recess and n few moments be
* ere 1 o'clock , Doorkeeper Turner announces
the presence of the vice president and the
senate of the United States , and the vast
assemblage rose with ono accord to do them
honor. The vice president took the chair as
signed to him. to the right of the speaker ,
nnd the senators occupied the llrst four rows
of seats to the right of the presiding officer
The counting of the electoral vote was then
proceeded with , and at Its completion the
senate returned to Its own hall.
When the senate retired the house re
sumcd , In committee , the consideration ol
the legislative appropriation bill , the pend
ing paragraph being that for the appoint
ment of a Joint congressional committee to
inquire into the laws organizing the execu
tive departments of the government at the
national capltol.
Mr. Pickler , who was fighting the rneas
nro nnd wanted the pension bureau excluded
from Us provisions , inasmuch as the bureau
was now being Investigated , refused to no
< knowledge the power of the chair to rule
him out of order and to order him to take
his scat , nnd the services of the scrgcant-nt
arms with his symbol of authority had to bo
resorted to. The mace , which was for i
moment defied by Mr. Pickler , came out sue
ccssful , but Mr. Pickler also carried hi :
point to n certain extent , by forcing the
adoption of nn amendment providing that
the commission shall have no jurisdiction to
inquire into or report on pension legislation
Without disposing of the bill the com
mlttco arose and the house adjourned.

In I'ronpect III the House.
WASHINGTON , D. C. , Feb. 8. A lively pen
sion fight is on in the houso. Unless all in
dicatlons fail , there will bo some very inter
cstlng debates and sharp maneuvering on th <
iloor of the house when the pension appro
prlatlon bill Is taken up for consideration ,
radical change in the pension policy is pro/
posed. The change will be backed up by
majority of the committee on appropriation
and will bo fought tooth and nail by the re
publican minority , assisted by Represents
tlve Hohnan , chairman of the committee
who Is ordinarily the most strenuous advocate
cato on the committee of a reduction of ex
pendltures.
The proioscd | changa in the pension policy
lias in view considerable reduction of the
IMMislon rolls niul the enormous amount now
paid out for pensions by purging the lists
of the names of somoof those nowon them and
by making more dlftlcult the procurement ,
in some cases , of a pension under the laws.
It is pniwsed to change the laws in sorao
resiHJcts and a new policy is to bo in
augurated , as far as the administra
tion of the law is concerned by
turning over the whole pension bureau
to the War department. These changes ,
with some modifications , are the same as
originally proposed by the subcommittee.
which framed the pension appropriation bill ,
but which In full committee wcro stricken
out by a majority of ono vote. The committee -

AMKIUCAVS KSU OF T1IK SCANDAL , .
Proceeding * Hrfore the Congressional
rmmmti Canal Investigating Committee.
WASIUNOTOX , D. C. , Feb. 8. Mr. Colne ,
former secretary of the American company ,
appeared before the Panama canal commit
ted today and delivered to Chairman Fel
lows a copy , or record book , ho had kept of
the disbursements of the American commit
tee of the Panama Canal company. Ho had
lent the other books to Mr. Uoyard , the in-
tormodkry between the Panama Canal com-
panynnd the Panama llallcoadcomiany , and
ho had declined to return them. A cash
prjco was paid on all locomotives , morchau.
disc and other articles.
No ledger account was kept with Scllgnian
& Co. , that firm certifying simply that o
much money was to their credit. Ho kept a
: ncmornndn by which to know when the
red It wnft exhausted Mr. Uoynnl had the

Mr. Geary asked what the term "petty

.ad . submitted.
Mr. Thompson seemed to have drawn alwut
. KX ) a day for n great many days for "petty
. -ash. " Witness replied that ho had used
Ir. Thompson's name in the books , as he
n the principal man , and the "petty cash"
referred to sundry Items and other expenses.
Chairman Fellows remarked that Mr.
'hompson seemed to have been appointed to
raw salary and give an American Haver to
he enterprise.
Mr. Geary suggested that ho seemed to
ave done this regularly ,
Mr. Fellows suggested that Mr. Thompson
iad said that ho was very willing to testify ,
> ut had telegraphed that his physician for-
jade him to come , and Mr. Fellows sug
gested a visit to Indiana , but the other !
nombors thought It unnecessary and it was
decided to subptctia Mr. Boyard and call for
11 books ho had.
In answer to a question Mr. Colne said
halSctlgman &Ct > . were the medium , and
he only medium , through which payments
were made In America , and their books
tvould show all payments made.
On motion ot Mr. deary It was decided to
uinmon representatives of the Pacific mall
nnd to ask them to furnish a statement of all
payments received from and made to the
railroads.

lUctiMlon on the Car ( 'onplrr Hill Other
liiinliiPM Transacted.
WASHINGTON. D. C. . Feb. 8. In the morn-
ng hour the following bills were taken from
he calcndnrand passed :
House bill for the relief of certain settlers
on public lands In the Tucson land district ,
iVrlzona ; house bill to amend the act of March
3 , IHS'J , and establish a court of private land
claims ; senate bill to except the veterans
'rom competitive examination In the classi
fied service of the United States.
Senate bill to amend the act of May 5 ,
StfJ. prohibiting the immigration of Chinese ,
having been reached , Mr. Hoar gave notice
of a substitute for the bill the substitute
being that tno act "is hereby repealed. "
Mr. Dolph moved to take up the bill , and
said that it merely proposed to strike out
the word "white" as a ( [ ualltlcatlon for wit
nesses.
In view of Mr. Hoar's substitute , Mr.
Dolph said he was ready to have a vote
taken upon it ; but Mr. Hoar simply said
"Let It go over , " and the bill went over
without action.
Cleveland Dcclnrrd Klcctcd.
At five minutes before 1 o'clock the vice
president announced that the time had ar
rived for action on the order of the senate.
Senators then fell In line and , preceded by
the vice president and secretary , and at
tended by other ofllcers , including Captain
Bassptt , the veteran doorkeeper , who car
ried the boxes containing the certificates of
presidential electors , moved toward the
hall of the house of representatives.
The senate returned to its cham
ber at 2:10 : o'clock and the vice
president made a statement of
the vote for president and vice president of
the United States , and said that the an
nouncement of "the vote by the president of
the senate was , by law , a sufficient declara
tion that Grover Cleveland of the state of
New York was elected president of the
United States , and that Adlai E. Stevenson
of the state of Illinois was elected vice presi
dent of the United States , each of the terms
beginning March 4 , 16U3 , and' the fact would
be entered , together with a list of the votes ,
ou the Journal of the senate.
The formal announcement of the result by
states spread upon the journal was as fol
lows :
Detail of the Vote.
The vice presidential candidates received
the same numbers , the totals being : Stov-
cnson , 277 ; Held , 145 ; Field , 23.
Car Coupler lllll.
The senate resumed consideration of the
railroad car coupler bill.
Mr. Potter took exception to some remarks
made by Mr. Wolcott , reflecting , as Mr. Pef-
for thought , on the farmers and worlinmen )
of the country. These classes , ho said ,
had boun trampled upon by the railway cor
porations \verocryinK to congress to take
hold of the subject and to comi > cl respect to
the public will. Ho hoped that the bill
would pass , no matter how much It might
cost the railroad corporations. Ho had no
qualms of conscience on that point.
Mr. Gorman took : up the taunts indulged
in yesterday by Mr. Chandler against the
democrats in the senate for not supporting
the pending measure , which had been
favored in the platform of the national denv
ocratiu convention. The democratic party ,
Mr. Gorman said , was abundantly able to
take care of itself. It might have divisions
on minor questions , but It would carry out Its
pledges to the j > eoplo in its own wav and its
own tiino without any regard to whether or
not the senator from Now Hampshire was
shocked. It was true that both national
parties in convention assembled in the year
IS'/ ' ! , had adopted resolutions favoring this
rlrtM nf Icglalntlon. but the senator from
Norr ilnmthln < Ima not correctly quoted the
resolution of the demoorntli1 convention
That resolution favonxl lepLilntlou by the
stntcfl , not by conRresi.
Mr Chandler nald his quotation w.is from
the cnmpalgu book of the democratic party.
Mr. ( loriimii'K 1'cnM.
Mr. Gormnn said th.it ho quoted from Me *
Phcrson's handbook of ixmtles which ho
r uuumcd was correct. If this bill became n
law 1 , the Influence * that were behind It would
1i
maKe 1t themselves felt at future party conven
tions. t They would say "Wo arc now not
only 750,000 strong , but wo nro lfiOO,000
strong i wo nro strong enough to control your
iI presidential I election. You must confiscate
the 1I 1 property of the railways by further leg
1t islation 1I I , or wo will control your politics. "
The Carnegles and other great employers of
1J labor I who had Jobs to press , would threaten
congress with their employes. The existing
labor organizations would be enlarged , and
J they would say : "Congress has undertaken
to run the railroads , It has undertaken to
control the matter of charges to the people ;
wo are not nafo unless tin ) people own the
allroads and take ixmesslon of them. "
Mr. Gorman argued , in conclusion , that the
organization of railway employes could ac
complish more In the way of Improvement
than all the legislation that could bo piled on
the statute books. If congress did assume
jurisdiction the consequence would bo that
ricti railway coriwratlons would employ ( as
they always did ) the best legal talent , not
only to swarm around the halls of congress ,
but to enter them In jx-rson. If the matter
wcro placed In the hands of the government
the money of the great corporations would
control it , and the poor worklngman would
not bo heard In court. The railroads of the
country could not submit to further restric
tions while the Canadian lines wcro entirely
free from them.
KxprrnMul the U'Nh of the Itallrnnil .
Mr. Cullom. in charge of the bill , said that
ho sympathized with the senator from Mary
land in his vicwas to the Canadian railroads
and ho hoped that when that senator be
came chairman of the Interstate Commerce
committee in the next congress ho would
give that subject the attention which It de
served. So far , however , from Mr. Gorman
expressing the views of the railway employes
on the subject of the pending bill , ho hud re
flected the sentiments and desires of almost
"every railroad company In the country which
is not in favor of this legislation or any
other. If these companies had been given
the right to "pool" they would not have op
posed the pending bills ; but when that had
been refused to them by the Interstate com
merce commission , they had given no'tico
that no bill on the subject of railroads should
pass this session. It had got to be a ques
tion , Mr. Cullom said , whether congress
would put money against the blood of rail
road employes , and whether money was more
valuable than the lives'of these men.
Various amendments were offered , but
without action , the senate , after excuu-
tlvo session , adjourned.

KITortH Mailing in Secure n Vote on the llc-
pcul of the .Sherman Act.
WASHINGTON , D. C. , Feb. 8. The report of
the committee on rules on the silver ques
tion will come up tomorrow. The advocates
of the repeal of the Sherman act held a con
ference. Their hopes of securing cloture
have grown less as the time for taking the
vote has approached. A majority of the
democrats are against It , and the effort to
secure support from the republicans appears
to have failed.
Mr. Ueed , and the eastern republicans
generally , are in favor of hitting the "silver
snake , " as it Is called , every time the oppor
tunity presents itself , but western republi
cans , as a rule , refuse to follow the lead of
their eastern brethren. The western lead
ers , Hopkins and Linci , have a list of between
thirty and forty republicans who , they say ,
will oppose the taking up of the silver ques
tion at this time. Besides the free silver
republicans , this list includes most of the
republicans from Michigan , Kansas , Minnesota
seta , Illinois and Colorado , and votes from
other states. The Iowa republicans appear
to bo wavering and undecided. The Illinois
and Indiana democrats , with a few excep
tions , are decidedly against the cloture on one
ground or another , and in the south , a num
ber of members who favor action on the sil
ver question fear to commit themselves to
an anti-fllibustering policy.
Unless there should unexpectedly bo a
change in the present situation on eloturo it
will become necessary after that proposition
is defeated to decldo on the course to bo
pursued. The anti-silver men will then
change their tactics and vote for the adop
tion of the rules committee's report , while
the free coinage men will vote against even
the consideration of silver at this time.
For the Suspension of "Pension" > 'lcht.
Representative Bacon , chairman of the
committee on banking , today Introduced
resolutions suspending "pension" night on
next Friday by providing that if no vote is
taken on the Cato bill by Friday , February
10 , and the bill is not disposed of byC o.clock
that day ; the night session sot apart for
private penslonjnatter be relegated and the
Cute bill bo taken up.
| jlts introduction indicates that by night
sessions and recesses an effort will be made
to keep the house from adjourning until a
vote Is secured. It Is possible that some
compromise proposition may bo brought for
ward as a solution of the difficulty.
The house banking committee today di
rected Chairman Bacon to report favorably a
bill to amend the Sherman silver law so as
to put the coin not purchased under it on the
same footing as greenbacks and bank clear
ing house settlements. It provides for the
redemption of these notes with certificates
which the banks may count as a part of their
legal reserves. The proposed change will
make no difference except to the banks.
The committee decided that the time to
morrow and Friday should bo equally divided
between the silver and anti-silver men , Mr.
Bacon to control the time on ono side , and
Messrs. Cox of Tennessee and Townsend of
Colorado on the other.

LINCOLN , Nob. , Feb. S. [ Special to THE
DEE. ] The United States Loan and Invest
ment company of Omaha was the most prom
inent figure In the district court today. I ) .
A. Gibson tiled suit In attachment , claiming
that the company had gotten ? TJ.W from
lam by fraudulent misrepresentations that
the company was authorized to do business
In Nebraska , and that such prominent cltl-
rens as Max Meyer , John L. Webster and
Charles OfTutt were Interested as stockhold
ers and ontccrs. Ho further claims that the
company has been under the management of
men who arc not stockholders and that Its
funds have been dissipated and lost , ( lib-
son's claim Is for money paid in on stock ho
had subscribed for.
Judge Tlbbctts was engaged In hearing a
case where Laura A. Carpenter sought to
restrain the company from ejecting her from
a certain house. Her story was to the offset
that she was induced to purchase stock in
the company , paid her assessments rlgltt
along , and got a loan of $9JO. With this she
started building a house , and after its com
pletion lien-holders catne In and sold it under
foreclosure. She alleges that under an
agreement with the company the latter
bought the property at sheriff's sale for her ,
jut when she demanded that they fulllll
; hetr contract they turned around anil
threatened her with ejectment.
John H. Harte secured a Judgment aeaiust

In the Criminal Courts.
The Jury in the case of August A. Koutlmr ,
charged with setting flre to a Union Pacific
bridge , returned a verdict of not guilty. Ed
Norton and Thomas U. O'Neill , charged
with assaulting old Carl Schmidt , were not
so lucky , however. They were tried by
Judge Hall this morning , and the testimony
showing that they had deliberately followed
and held up the old man , the Jury lost no
time in finding them guilty. They were re
manded for sentence.
Harry DoWitt alias Harry McLaurie. the

Fighting for n t'riincliUo.
A. quiet but very blt'ter fight is being
waged In the council over the granting to
the Lincoln Heat and Electric Light com
pany of a franchise. The old company , of
of which D. E. Thompson is the head , has
had a monopoly for years , and it is said is
bringing every influence it can to bear on
the members of the 'council to defeat the
desire of the new compniiy. The old cry that
it was an Omaha corporation was first
raised , then it was charged that the now
company was formed simply to hold up the
old one , by compelling it to buy It out after
competition had been started. On this plea it
was referred to a special committee , but an
attempt to-smothcr it was defeated. Now
one of the councilmen * who is "friendly" to
the old company has Introduced an ordinance
prohibiting tim ereotlon'and maintenance of
poles or any other electrical devices in the
streets , and providing that all companies
hereafter given franchises shall be compelled
to place their wires underground , but none
of the provisions-of the ordinance
- are to ap
ply to tno poles already up. The ordinance
was introduced last night , and comes up at
the next meeting.
The old garbage crematory ordinance ,
which was vetoed by the mayor and died a
peaceful death , has been refurnished , the
prices made a shade lower , and reintroduced.
At the council meeting last night the city
attorney was instructed to proceed against
all proi > erty owners whose neglect to main
tain a proper sidejvalk has resulted in the
city being mulcted for damages.
City In Urlef.
Misses Cynthia Dcsher and Emma Harley ,
daughters Of neighboring farmers living
near Denton , this county , arrived in the city
yesterday to receive treatment for abscesses
on the arms. A consultation of physicians
on the case resulted in a verdict that it was
a case of glanders , and investigation showed
that a pet pony that had been ridden by the
young ladies was afllictcd with that disease ,
and had infected thorn.
J. D. MacFarland , the newly appointed ro-
celver of the Capital National bank has not
yet assumed charge. Ho was out of the city

The experience of William Brcnsloy Aus

related at length by THE BBC at the time , he
became Insane , wandered -Jown town , nnd
was picked up by the | x > llee. About two
weeks ago ho was transferred from the
county hospital to his home on North jTwenty
sixth street. The peculiarity of his case
was that ho forgot his own Identity , his
natno nnd his previous life and imagined
himself a man named Bill Brcnsloy.
Ou Tuesday ho began showing signs of re
turning reason after hope had almost been
given up. The naroo Austin was mentioned.
He began talking about going down to the
city Jail to help his "friend 71111 Brensloy. "
He apparently resumed his own identity , but
hesokeof | his wanderings and experiences
as though they had happened to the imagin
ary Brcnslcy , and ho expressed his sympa
thy for that mythical personage in a touch-
.ing manner. Ho had previously expressed
surprise that a stratitru woman and children
should persist In making themselves so
much at homo in Brcnsley's house , but yes
terday he recognized them as his own wife
and children.
Dr. Van Camp , the attending physician ,
last night reported the patient as doing well
and counted on his ultimate recovery.

Why the Indians Never Hnvo Dys-
popsla , Yet are Careless Eators.
Ko ono could nccusa
nn Indian of
over-care
fulness In eating. He
ate ivliut nature gave
him berries from the
wood , spoil from his
traps , game ( rom Ms
bow. lie ate plenty of
It , ate till ha was full.
It vras not very well cooked romctltnos , and
ho often ate fait.
When hunting or fighting n day vrould often
pass without anything being eaten at all.
Yet ho never had dyspepsia.
He never "dieted. "
Wo hear too much about "dieting" these
days.
A man mtian't cot pic , or cabbage , or cake ,
or beans , or this nnd that.
Ho inusn't cat very much and ho mutt do It
very ftlovr. Ho inu-t never drink when he
cau. Ho iiuun't hurry. Ho inusn't worry.
And so ltpoo .
This Is all very good advice. Hut it would
worry a man to death to rcuiombcr it ull.
Why can't wo live like the Indian In a
healthy , hearty , natural wav ? llccauso TVO
have su h wcakotomachs. Rut how did the
Indinn possess such perfect stiong , digestion ?
Uy tukln ? that medicine of hlo.Sagwa , whenever -
over ho felt fucro wns anything wrong with
him. That Sagwu wo have now employed
hlmtoinako for us. If you would take the
natural American remedy for dytipopsla ,

what a weak stomach or dyspepsia wns.

"howto get the crowd 'into
the store without losing money
on the goods" used to be the
way they did it , and s me try
it to this day , but it won't work.
*
TVlPKT we do it is to "get rid of our
\ KTT
L HL YY Clj old stock at any price to sell it
quickly. " When the season's
on we make an honest legiti
mate profit , but as the time approaches
preaches for new goods to ar
rive we letthe old ones go.
We have taken about 100 suits
$750 in sacks and frocks , some $9 ,
some $10 , some $11 suits in
fancy cassimeres cheviots ,
worsteds , clearing out at $7. 50.
' r\f\ Suits worth up as high as $8.50
SP' \\J \ ) i ° aN e popular weaves , all
colors , sizes 34 to 42 , sacks and
frocks , all go in one lot at $5.
