AUDITOR MOORE STARTS AN INQUIRY Ho Wants the Attorney General to Bettlo the All-Important Question. HAVE AGREED ON A COMMODITY BILL Republicans in the House Settle on Their Railroad Legislation Policy.

Neb. , March 2 [ Special Tcle- rram to Tun line. ] 'llio members ot the Board of Public I-inils and Buildings hnvo made > iii their minds that it Is ubout time to 1)0 doing something to protect themselves in the matter of the penitentiary contract. Up to this time they hiivo been recognizing C. W Moshcr as the prison contractor , re- ftnrdluFO of the assignment to Dorg.in , und nil warrants hnvo been drawn In favor of the president of the wrecked Capital Na tional bank. Now.that a grave question has arisen In regard to the matter , the members of the board are fearful that they may got thcniEolvcB olnto trouble over It , and may possibly bo paying out money that they will bo called upon to again pay to other parties , and that their bondsmen will have to stand it. It Is understood that the federal authorities will claim that the money should go to sun dry creditors of the bank , and In order to protect themselves the state officials who nro members of the borad will submit a query to the proper authorities for informa tion as to the proper course to pursue In the matter. Would No I.oncor Tnlto Chnnre * . Auditor Moore set the ball rolling this afternoon when ho went to the secretary of state and said that ho was not going to act blindly In the case any longer. He stated that lie was going to do ono of two things- find out who was the proper party to receive the money , or refuse to pay the warrants when presented. The two ofllcials waited on the attorney general and were advised that the thing to do was to prepare a list of queries , and ho would submit them to the supreme court. The auditor has concluded , however , that the attorney general is the source to which the boant Is to look for en lightenment on the legal points , and will therefore write a loiter to thatofllcial asking for the dpslran Information. Then , if the I'vSr1" ' KC'ioral wants advice from court on tlla't jKjint , ho can take the matter there. The hoard does not propose to work In the dark In the case , und It Is very prob'ablo that the fcuprumo court will say ere many days who Is entitled to the money as contractor and who Is not. Wit lli vo ii Commodity Hill. The republican members have concluded that It is time to bo doing something in the way of agreeing on the question of railroad legislation. A meeting was held this evening after the adjournment of the house at I which the matter was discussed , and it was | decided that a commodity bill was the thing. iTho sentiment of the majority was that it ( maximum rate bill was not the best solution | of the question and that a bill providing a ( fair reduction on six or eight of the principal Jiommoilitlcs was the most practicable way jjf settling existing differences between the ( railroads und the people. Arrangements [ were then made for a caucus In the supreme [ court room this evening , and after supper the republicans wended their j way back to the state house. J The forty-eight members of the house wore P.present , and pledged themselves to the sup- 7 port of the measure , and a bill was then drafted to bo submitted as a substitute for the Nowberry bill , otherwise known as house roll W. IVlmt the 11111 Trot-tile * . It Is in effect the Kverott bill , Introduced l > .v the senator from Burt , with the excep tion that in addition to tlio commodities Jnamed in that bill , namely , live stock , 1 gram , lumber , cement , lime , farm ma i chinery and salt , It provides for I the following articles : Flour , coal , i potatoes , barbed wire , sand , stone am ] [ brick. The 'game ' provision Is made for the rate , which Is to bo not moro than SO percent of the rate In effect March 1 , lb > ' . > : ! . It also contains a now provision , wlijch is that the rates on any other article than these enu merated shad not bo greater than those In effect at the time named. It recognizes the State Hoard of Transportation , in that it provides that this board shall furnish to the railroad companies immediately on'tho taking nffectof the art a schedule of rates In accordance 'with these provisions. It takes In section 11 of the Nowberry bill which allows the roads to sccuro excniptloi from the terms of the bill by laying the case before the supreme court and securing ai order to that effect on proper showing that the rates are unjust. 'Hint clause of the sec turn relating to the pooling of earnings is however , stricken out. The iwnalty for the violation of the act Is the same as In the Kverclt bill , a line of not less than $100 noi moro than $1,000. All railroads or parts ' thereof that may bo built within the next two years following the passing of the ac nro exempted from Its provisions until December comber 81,1VJ7. Morn Appointment * . Governor Crounso has decided upon the appointment of Dr. C. E. Lyttlo of Hloom Hold. Knbx county , for superintendent of the insane asylum at Norfolk and it is statei that it will bo submitted lo the senate to morrow for confirmation. In these days , when forty candidates fo each and every office are falling over end other In the. mad scr.vmblo for appulntmen it Is a relief to Hi id a man who dodges out o the when ho finds way an appointment com ing in his direction.

The senate was given an object lesson ii debate as she is practiced In Douglas counu whcu the Omaha delegation appeared be fore that august t-idy this afternoon to so forth their gri 'vuaccB In connection will the city charter.

" Thesenat chamber was tbo si-one of sumo lurid era tori during the next two liourn , and the familia Insinuations pf IxwdUug ud corruplio made the surroundings unusually homelike for an Oinnhnn. The councllmsn and city officials appeared In dcfenac of the charter ns It has been re vised , and asked that the bill be passed as sillJinltled. City Attorney Connell , City En- glnecr Roscwatcr and Councllmen Klsasscr , Hascall and Munro did the talking for the charter , and Herman Kountzo. Joseph Itarkcr , .Tames Crclghton , Joe Redman , Or. S. D. Mercer and J. J. O'Connor orated against it. Wlmt the Opposition Arcurd. The measures that they opposed were the sections relating to the ehanse of grade by the council without the consent of the abut ting property owners , the tax commission , the extension of the city limits and the in creased levy to < WK mills. Thcro were numerous slurs on the Integrity , of the council and city oniclals. and the lead In that direction was taken by O'Connor , who was finally called down by Councilman Ucchel , who broadly stated that whatever cfoo might ho charged against him. it had never been said that ho had robbed any widows or orphans , and turning to O'Connors , he said , "that is what has been charged against you , and the records of the courts of Douglas county show that you came near being dis barred for that very thing. " O'Connor subsided. Major D. II. Wheeler also arraigned the opposition. Ho said that the charter was the 'Ijost of the city of Omaha that had ever .been framed. He could not see how these gentlemen on the other side could consistontlv come in at this time nnd asK for changes to bo made , as the committee had been at work on the revision for mouths , and none of them had appeared and said a word , or given any of their time in preparing a charter that would be of benefit to the city. Yet they wore ready enough now to cnrno in and ask to have everything that had been done , overturned. HnOuiiH n Depot. Ernest Stunt , of unsavory memory , was n hand and had the supreme nerve to rise nd move an amendment to the charter. He eemed very much surprised when ho was nformed that ho was not a member of the cnate , but the bestowal of the information tad a good effect in regulating his actions rom that time forward. The senators listened to the arguments ro and con with close attention , but never- helcss heaved a sigh of relief when the nceting was over , and they were nt leisure o pursue the dictates of their own sweet vills. The chanccs'aro that the charter hill will > o amended , as the opi > ositiou musters a lumber of persistent workers , and nt the amo time there is that behind it that is upposed to bo potent in influencing through ho channels and along the Hues that are grceablo to it. .Silting Committee Not Needed. Speaker Gafltn said this afternoon that no iftlng commlttco would be appointed for at east a week , and ho was not certain that 1110 would bo necessary at all , as under the low rule any bill can bo advanced by vote of Uty-ono members. That will en-iblo the louse to take up any bill at any time it is desired to consider it , and will go a long way toward obviating the necessity for the ap- ointment of a sifting committee. Under .ho old rule , which required a two-third vote to advance a bill , such a thing was practi cally iniK3ssible. | The speakerexpressed the ) ptnion that the state would derive more jcnolit from the passage of the bills requii1- ng the building ol connecting switches and compelling the transfer of freight whenever requested by the shipper : han from any maximum rato-bill that could 30 framed. Ho has introduced two bills ooking to that cud and has figures to show Lhat it would mean the saving of moro dol- ars to the people of the state in a year than could bo hoped for In any other way. Ho said that they now have such switches In maunders county , but the roads will not transfer freight unless It is to their conven ience and advantage to do so. which is com paratively seldom. Ho holds that if the bill jecomcsalaw it will shorten the "road to and from market in a number of instances , mil he hopes to also see the pass.igo of the bill providing for the building of such switches where they do not now exist , wherever there are two roads coming to- .cther at a common meeting point , in any town , village or crossing. The senate has already passed Senator Packwood's bill , which provides for that very thing , and the speaker has no doubts whatever about Its carrying in the house. finished the Itrcouiit. The recount of the votes cast for and against the constitutional amendments at the last election was completed at ! l o'clock this afternoon , and the result shows that there was very little reason for having started the move. The original returns showed SO.OIti votes for the railroad amend ment , while the recount gave it S0iiti5 , , a gain offtKt. The school amendment was origin ally recorded as having received 84,420 votes , and it now looms up with S0.030u gain of 4,521. The legislative vote , which was to have been cut down about 80,000 votes , if the anticipa tions of the promoters of the recount were to bo realized , fell off from 20" , ! > < .ii : to 1)7,510 ! ) , or 12,0 a votes. Even according to the method of llgurinir employed by the friends of the recount , the amendments are still 10,000 and 14,000 votes short of the number necessary to carry them , while , in accordance with ttio Interpretation of the law as construed hy some of the best lawyers and judges of the state , they are 22,000 and 20,000 short of the necessary vote. The recount developed practically nothing of lniKirtance | , except that certain returning boards had exercised carelessness In their work , fho greatest changes were in Richardson , Adams and Plutto counties , which showed gams of 405 , 472 and 4'JH , respectively , on the vote for the school amendment. The state is entitled to this Information , for It will have to pay snveral hundred del lars for the privilege of knowhg ) it , whether the information is welcome or not.

[ Special Telegram to THE BEI : . ] As the Dutch are reputed to have taken Holland so an army of 200,000 of the great American republic now hold possession of their own national capital. If the statements of railroad ofllcials are to be believed , there Is now moving upon Wash ington a reserve army of at least equal num bers. It seems Incredable , but it is claimed by experts in counting crowds that there will be100,000 people , not residents of this city , hero by Saturday noon to witness the transfer of the control of the government of the United States from republican to demo cratic hands. The presence of this conquering host is ovori where visible. The streets are so crowded already that passage along the broad sidewalks is dlfllcult and pedestrians have already utlll/cd the asphalted streets. The hotel corridors are as jammed as were the Inadequate hostclrlcs of provincial Min neapolis during the republican national con vention. UK | > n almost every street corner booths have been erected with flaming signs offer ing milk , sandwiches and hard boiled eggs to the Incoming public. Truck loads of cots and mattresses have been standing in front of hotel doors today. Even private boarding houses have made arrangements to make live persons sleep In ono room. No AccommmlitttoiM Tor Muiiy. Despite all the efforts that have been made by the local committees for the com fort and convenience of visitors it is already apparent that many hundreds of tourists will be unable to lind accommodations. The brilliant weather which has thus far blessed the week is generously ascribed by Uncle Jerry Rusk not to his own machinations but to the Cleveland luck. The weather bureau has predicted for Friday cool temperature and a clear sky for Saturday.

The saloons of Washington are reaping a golden harvest from the. visiting democracy. The law of the district which forbids the sale of liquor after midnight is a dead letter. Bourbon whisky can bo bought anywhere at any hour. The saloon keepers expect to keep their places open on Sunday. All of the more prominent bar rooms display signs announcing that they are the headquarters of this or that district organization of Tam many. The eight special trains bearing more than 3,000 Tammany braves reached Washington this evening over the Pennsylvania and Bal timore & Ohio roads. Their passengers were for the most part well dressed and made an Impressive appearance as they marched to their various headquarters. In fact a general order has been issued by thd Tammany chiefs requiring their followers to keep their shoes polished , their trousers creased and their hats ironed. Two tailors and two hat polishers are part of their camp followers. These efforts toward cleanliness and respectability quite astounded the southern democrats with long hah- and slouch hats , and the untamed visitors from the far west , who had expected to see every Tammany brave armed with a tomahawk in ono hand and a whisky flask iu the other. Nevertheless It is with an obviously painful effort that Mr. Crokcr's cohorts are main taining peaceful relations with the local police. CI.KVIM.AND'S AltlUVAL.

The railroad station was surrounded by a throng of several thousand peonlo , who jiackcd the adjacent streets from curb to curb. The entrances to the station were guarded by at least a hundroJ policemen , while scores of detectives from New York , Philadelphia. Baltimore and Chicago were on the outlook for mischievous cranks. It ha d been openly announced that Mr. Cleveland would arrive at the regular sta tion , and for this reason many incredulous people had expected the special train would stop at a grade crossing near the place , whore the president-elect would depart with lib wife.

GALVESTON , Tex. , March 2. A special from San Antonio to the News says : United States Marshal Paul Fricko today received' information from Rio Grande that eighteen complaints had been made against Captain John G. Bourke of the Third United States cavalry , who had been conducting the campaign against the revolutionists , charging him with false imprisonment. Captain Bourke several days ago arrested fifteen Mexicans for partidpating in the bonier revolutionary troubles who were sub sequently released by the United States commissioner. Four of the Mexicans are rciwrted to have tiled affidavits alleging that Bourke had hanged them to make them confess and they had confessed to avoid death. Marshal ' Fricke's information was that Captain Bourke had been arrested , but had given bond Immediately In all cases. No Importance Is attached to the com plaints , as no oflteer on the border stands higher than Captain Bourke , who lias done more perhaps than any other man to break up the revolutionists and his cfllcacy has naturally aroused the antagonism of revolu tionists and their sympathizers. The border is again quiet and alleged revo lutionists are being arrested almost daily. cuT.on.uiu'.s uur MVKDKKKII.

Both men are In fine con dition and a tremendous struggle is likely to follow. Promptly at S o'clock Chairman Bell of the contest committee entered the ring and made his Httlo stereotyped speech as to the nature of the contest , etc. , ana announced that the affair would be under the personal supervision of Captain Barrett of the metro politan police , and that Prof. John Duffy would officiate ns referee. Billy Hincs with his handlers. John A. Sullivan of Cincinnati , Henry Baker of Chicago and George Luu- nker of Rock Island entered the ring and took possession of the Corbatt corner. Mc Millan followed in a moment , accompanied by Harry Black and Andy Bo-von , the Now Orleans lightweight. Went to Work Directly. At fifteen minutes after 8 the men faced each other. After a Httlo sparring nines landed his left lightly on McMillan's mouth. McMillan played for the body. Hines then landed his left repeatedly and McMillan saved himself by clinching. There was some vicious lighting , In which McMillan got much the best of it , punching Ilincs with right and left and llnally flooring him. Six seconds were tolled off , when Hincs regained his feet , when time was called. Hound 2 There was no rest allowed , McMillan cutting a hot pace and poking Hines viciously in the mouth. It looked llko a cinch for McMillan , but Hincs , recuper ating , pummeled McMillan Into his corner amid 'vociferous cheering McMillan was wild , but still jabbed well , nines landed two quick lefts , just before the gong sounded. All Ono Wiiy , Now. Round 3 They were right at it , and after n fierce exchange clinched , nines' right cyo closed , and the blood suddenly be smeared both his face and chest. McMillan punches Hincs a hard ono In the mouth , but is countered smartly on the jaw. McMillan runs against a straight , then hits nines at will. Ilines spurts again and gives McMil lan some of his own medicine , although the iatter has the light well in hand. So far McMillan is unmarked , while Hincs' phiz is a sight. They are clinched when the round ends. Round 4 Hines goes up fresh , only to re ceive two soakers in the month. McMillan lights fast and furiously , nines gets in a good loft punch , bal is groggy and unsteady. McMlllun all but knocks him out with a swinging right. Hines saves himself by clinching. On the break , McMillan visits Hincs' bleeding face with thrco quick blows , but falls to knock his man out. Hines rushes blindly and falls over the ropes. McMillan spares him , only to punch his sere cyo when he gets back Into the ring. Round -lllnes is grojrgy and wobbly , McMillan fresh and confident. Ho docs sotno heavy body work. Mines battles vali antly , but hopelessly. His blows are aimless and his step tottering. McMillan smashes him in the neck with his loft , repeating the trick with his right. He swings again and catching Ilines full in the face ho totters backwards , recovers , hits out fiercely , but ineffectually , and llnally succumbs to u snower of blows on the side of the head , iu the chest and up and down the ribs. It was a clumsy light , neither man being possessed of any knowledge of ring tactics or the art of self defcnso. It was an unscien tific punching match without n redeeming feature so far as modern fisticuffs go. Hines went Into the ring with the stage fright and did not recover before lie received his quietus from awkward McMillan's blows. McMillan came out without u mark. I'repnrlnK for the \V rr tlcr .
