Si [ Special Tele gram to THE BEE. ] THB BEE'S exix e of the jusrclcry practiced to render null and voW the law calling for the recount of the votes cost on the constitutional amendments has been the talk of the Capital City today. It Las a'so ' had th < > eject of canslnc the aban- d.oKtnt ' ' further persistence in the way of cojct'.ng in the amendments , and the scheme has fallen completely to tbe ground. Jecscn went to Secretary of State Allen before the house reconvened thU tnornlnc and slated that the recount xnlcht as well be stopped , as there was no possibility tbat cith T of the amendments woold carry , and it WL.uld be a useless expenditure of public Eoncv to keep the force of clerks employed tipt n it at work anytonger. The secretary did not think that the com- nu'tee bad any authority to stop tbe count un'il St was compieted , as it had been ordered b > both houses of the legislature in a bih that had been sisned by the covernor. and was therefore a law. For that reason the count was allowed to proceed and an at tempt will be made to complete it tomorrow. a'though there are still 4 * , < M ) votes to be counted. What Mast lie Rained. H is stated tonicht that of the ISl.l.V ) leg islative votes counted there were 67'J.Xj for the railroad amendment and 74.2 > / > for the trhool amendment. This leaves the former 13OfO vntes in the rear and the school amendment 6.200 short of the necessary ma jority of the legislative vote , while it lacks several thuasand more of a majority of the gubernatorial vote. It is now stated that tbe amendments are losing on every vote counted , as the leading amendment was only 5,110 behind last night , while it has lost over 1,100 today. Considerable comment is heard because of the fact that thoimendments were training npidly uiUl the fight on the count was ilfii'nred. ane1 cow that they are losing so . . . , it is regarded as substantiate the rf bad frJth that have been cur rent ever since the introduction of the bill , and confirms the belief that it was the in tention to count in both amendments re gardless of the actual showing made. The counties tbat still remain to be counted are Butlrr , Buffalo , Gage , Johnson , Pawnee. Valley , Seward. Saline , Otoe , Ncmafta. Mer- nct. Madison and Knox. Chairman Ithodeo * Statement. In its report of the discovery of the fatal defect In the enacting clause of this bill THE BEE did Mr Rhodes , chairman of the oramittee on enrolled and cngrosoed bills , an uncorscic us injustice , but by so doing nn-overed another phase of the matter , r ; Mr Rhodes cukes the following statement- 1 } When the hi J was ordered to be engrossed Kforttird reading the engrossing clerk no li ticed that the enactingclau-e was defective. The cbairman at ouce ordered the clause cor > rected , so as to make it conform to the con stitutional provisions. He also went ton Speaker Gaffin and Chief Clerk Eric John- sc n and asked those officials if it was its duty to correct the bill Both men consid : ered tbe defect c f so trifling a nature that they didn't deem It necessary to make the correcticn. and advised him that it was his duty to engross the bill Just as It was sent to him by the house. Not satisfied with tfcls. Mr Rhodes went to Mr. Jensen , the author of the bill , and called his attention to the omission of tbe words in tne enacting clause. Mr Jensen didn't care to change iv and told him to go ahead with it Jest as it was.

The same unseemly haste was manifested in the way the bill was shot through the sen ate. When it was placed on its passage it received the votes of ail the senators with the exception of Dale and McCarty. The _ latter was not satisfied and voiced his sns- j I picions that all was not right. He talked with a number of his fellow independents , and Senator Gra > said that he wouW move the reconsideration of the action as soon as the senate reconvened in the afternoon. The boosters behind the bill learned of what was goinsr on and hurried the bill to the lieutenant - ant governor , who sicned it. and when the inde | > endeiils tried to call It up in the after noon it was found that it had been sent back to the house , and it was impossible to take further action. honi ; of the Kailroid Siren. The senate railroad committee held a pub lic session this afternoon , at which most of the prominent railwaj managers appeared to air the poverty of their respective com panies. General Manacer Burt of the Elkhorn - horn syste m pleaded the poverty of his com pany ana drew a striking picture of the ruin and bankruptcy that stared his stockholders in the face as the ineritaole result of any interference with rates. Geteral Manacer Holdrece catne forward with his biennial threat that if rates were lowered there would never be another mile ofTailroad constructed in the stole of Ne braska. He also broadly intimated that if rates were lowered in the slightest degree the magnificent railroad property would gradually lapse into decay , until there would be nothing left of the great systems which now span the stale but a few streaks of rust and the rirht-of-way. The manager of the I'acific Short Line was alive that bis line would be completely wiped out of existence If rates were even touched. All sang the same old socc that has been used to charm the weaned ears of legisla tures for many sessions past. The xvoe and distress that was sure to follow the reduc tion of rates was pictured in craphic colors and every speaker of railroad interests left an intimation of the broad path of rain and decay , upon which the people of the state would surely rush to social aad commercial distinction as soon as the rates were lowered another notch. Talked to Deaf Ear * . rs made a marked impression upon the minds of these senators who were elected to repre sent railroad interests , but upon all others , the vivid pictures of woe and distress were drawn in vain. ref The most effective work of the entire af , ternoon was doubtless made by the repre sentatives of the Railway Employes associa tion , who appeared late in the afternoon. There were five of the representatives of the association , and they came from the shop , , the train service and the departments , and they all gave their testimony in a plain , matter of fact manner. They asserted that a reduction of rates simply meant a reduc tion of their wages , and they backed up their statements with instances from the history of railroad regulation in Iowa. Minnesota and Kansas. Made n Good IrnpretUoii. " Their chief spokesman wus Henry Knodell , "and theonly unfavorable feature of hi * state ment was the information drawn from him by the ever-officious Colonel J H. Ager , who braienly Interrogated him as to the voting strength of the association. But | < erhaps the representatives of the Hallway -Employes association should be blamed for what was certainly the unwar . ranted intrusion of Ager That individual has a way of oblrudim : himself upon ry occasion , and nothing but the inflexible es of the senate , and the impenetrable dignity t.v that is supposed to surround the members , prevents him from iiarticipatiu ? in the daily debates In open session Another Combine KoruieU. Combines have again become popular , and a new one was entered into last nicht. For some time there has been more or less feelIng - Ing between the democratic factions in the house , the trouble havinc originated during the senatorial fight , when eleven of the b > nirb ns went to the independent * and the remaining five stood out for a democratic candidate. There are but two now staudim : out. and these two are Witanell and Sin clair They have now gone ic with the ine publicans to do the up uther democrats on every occasion that offers , and will vote with them cm all questions , ejccept tal preferences are the rule on matters of Indi- vidual bills. Tbe other democratic faction is headed by Ames , who is disposed to take them with him to tbe independent camp whenever there is ima possibility of so doing The two Omaha democrats in the bouse came down here the best ot friends , but they have- been drifting farther and farther apart with each suc ceeding day. The Ames contingent met at tbe Lincoln hotel this evening and discussed the situation , and wound up by strain ? a paper endorsing W. S. FeUer fora member of the Omaba Fire aud Police Commission.

BecKwith . . . \VyomlDjr. . Adjutant General KaWs ! of this state and A. L. Xew , chairman - man of tbe state democratic committee , arrived this evening en route to Washington to attend the inauguration. Colonel John Atkins of Denver and Colonel Goodatl. World's fair commissioner , accompanied the party. . Tbe circumstances surrounding Senator Beckwith's selection for the honor which has Just been conferred upon him are remarkable. He is the first democratic senator from Wyoming , and did not seek tne j I oSice , but on the contrary , was an ardent supporter of the candidacy of A. L. New. who , by the way. is a cousin of John C. New , present consul ccncral at London. After a fight of forty days , however , the legislature , whi h was composed of twentv- one democrats , twenty-two republicans and five populists , was 'unable to suctved in acreetne upon any of the men who went be feat it. An adjournment sine die took place and tbe appointment fell to the hands ol the governor , who had been elected on a fusion denx-crat and populist ticket. The covernor thoucht it wise to go outside of the recular candidates and chose Mr. Beckwith. Mr. Beckwith. while a thorough democrat , is a fre * ? silver man. like every other man of the western , states. This is what he had to say tonicht ' on 'be question : . . . "Ninety per cent of the people of Wyoming are in favor of free and unlimited coinage I of , silver , although we are not yet a silver producing | oemer , Aud by the way. Illinois.

As to Jthe charge of drurgini : cocktails made aralnst Adjutant General Kabls during the senatorial contest , Mr. Kabls said : "Why , my newly made reputation has been stolen from me by the individual who actually committed the act acknowledging bis guilt.

The convention was called to order at noon in Central Music ball. Several hours were consumed in listen ing to the claims of contestiair delegations , anddcrinr the delay a delegation from the Fifth ward grew impatient and kicked in the door It was pacified , however , and went outside again. The commit tee on credentials finallv re ported and loud crirs arose for a roll * call. 'Before it could be * begun , however , Mr. Hesing arose to address the convention. He told the delegates that the con vention was packed in the interest of his opjx > oeat and that the primaries had been unfairly conducted. He then formerly with drew his name from before the convention and asked his friends , especially the Ger mans , to support sotM other ticket than that heeded by Mr Harrison. A ballot was taken , the result being : Car ter H. Harrison , 531 ; De Witt Crekrer , 91 ; Heslne. ST. Harrison was then declared the choice of the democratic party.

Chnmplon of the American Idea. James G. Illalne stood for a quarter of a I ceniury as the distinctive chsmoion of the American Idea , of American lntertsls and of American men He has rx-en nearer ihe af fection of the American misses tnan any other public nmn , except Lincoln. And It can te said , without fear of contradiction , that he \\is the r-al choice , not only of the republican party , bui of Ihe pjwple of the Culled Mates , for , . - f president to Is92. In every T . . ic presidential be was def.-ated vv-ar from bv political combination : twice he put aside w Itfi his own hand the mantle of leadership , and once he was rob ! > ed of election by a series of unfortunate circumstances. Vet durinc all these years hl name has been mo-t upnn the American tonrue , and In every clviltz ti comer of the clobe thousands and thousands Mho could not name the president of the I'nlted States spoke of him with admiration and profound respect lie was the Atuerl'-an statesman of his ace : the popular leader par excellence : ths ? Chev alier Hayard of American politic- . . The pres. Idency could have added nothing to the en during character of his fame , but the failure to crown htm with the laurel of their greatest clffi. a reproach upon his countrymen. The loss 1 to tin.- nation , not to Blaine. The poor , the lowly and oppressed will espe cially cherish his name. He had at heart , not ihe Imprests of the rich or powerful , but of Ihe tellers nnd the workersIt will be remem bered of him that he altravs stood for the en forcement of the Hints of American citizen ship and In favor of the dlcnltyof American manhood. Hi- never do'fd hi- hat to wealth or position. He proclaimed the dinner pall In the hand of .lie mechanic as the badieof American nobility. The common people revere his character most. They never stood between him and the rvillzatlan of hU ambi tion. Politicians have oftentimes barrvd his pathway , but the poope : never. Horn In an Kveutful 1'erlod.

LO.VPOX , Feb. * < Sir Henry Meysey- Tbotnpson. liberal unionist member of Par liament for North Hardswortb. moved in the House of Commons today that tne British government should use its influence to bring about a reassmblare of the international monetary conference , with the object of find ing a remedy for the divorced values be tween cold and silver. Sir Henry , who is a director in several railways and is recog nised as a respectable authority on trade questions , argued that mono-melaUism was a national misfortune and that a fixed bi metallic currency was the sole remedy for existing difficulties growing out of the cur rency problem. Mr. Samuel Moniacue. liberal member of Parliament forWhitechapelanu well known as a member of the banking bouse of Samuel Montague & Co. , earnestly supported Sir Henry's motion and argued in favor of bi metallism. Other bi-metallists also addressed the tioufe in behalf of tbe proposition. Mr. Gladstone in reply reminded the bouse that the international monetary conference mt at tne invitation of the lTnited State * and it would be an unprecedented proceed ing now to deprive America of the initiative. En-'land bad followed the Brussels discus- sion with more or less svinpathy. and bad a rich : to exi > v ct from tne United States a declaration as to what step tbat country proposed to take next. In tbe opin ion of the eovernaient no plan yet pro- ivisod showed how it was i ssible to chance the standard of value in Great Britain. [ Hear , hear.1 } It would place the government in a ridk-uloos position if it should assume the initiative in opening the conference , having nothing to recommend for diOTISkm. Mr. Gladstone siid that Eneiarul was not alone amen civilized na- tioDJ in her determination to adhere to her present money system. Seven otherpuwors. without the Mizhtest reference to EnzLind. had Mtmidel their in ton ; ion no : to cban ? * their currency. Half of the powers rep resented at the conference had showed that they leaned toward bi-aieialism. but as jet they had not given the m s ; shadowy indi cation of what changes they were prepared to make. In conclusion Mr Gladstone mide an elaborate exposition of the benefits of mono-metaliistn and the dangers of bi metallism. Mr. Chaplin , president of the BoarJ of r Agriculture under the last Salisbury admin istration , supported the motion ef Sir Henry Meysey-TboHjfwoa. At tne Brussels confer ence he Mill Bertram Carrie ( British deie- gate > persistently ani deliberately did every thine in his power to defeat the objects of the meeting. Sir Wil'iam Veroin Harcnnrv chancellor of the exchequer , repudiated Mr. Chaplin's j charge against Mr. Currie. The British delegates. he slid , had been almost the only ones to support the American resolution in favor of extending the use of silver. Front first to last bi-meVxUism was at the bottom tom of the conference , as it was in the pres- ent debate. The failure of the coufeivnce bad been due to the absence of all definite proposals. If it should reconvene th. ? conference nnd submit definite propos als the British government would be haopy to send back their delegates , but could not be expected to provide a scheme for tha more extensive use of silver He pointed to the return of the income tax and death duties to prove the crowth of the country's wealth He contended that the agricultural depression , which was largely responsible for the bimetalllst ngitition , was only temporary The motion before the house , he said , was intended to rabe prices , an operation which the zrovernaent could not undertake , as it was outside its province. Mr Balfour. leader of the unionist opposi tion , denied that he or any of his colleagues desired a monetary system whirh would raise prices The motion was not in favor of bimetallism The fact was that thegovern- ment has decided to do nothing to remedy the present evils evident both in trade and arric-ulture. Sir Henry Meysey-Thompson's motion eventually was rejected by a vote of t to 14- . The announcement of the vote was re ceived with loud liberal cheers. Germany anil the Puclllc Islands. BEKLIS.
