Lixcoi.x. 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

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

The senate was given an object lesson ii

whcu the Omaha delegation appeared be

the city charter.
When tin' senate adj-'iirr.c.l the commltte

and Chairman North took posgosslon of th

orations. Ho n-mrkod , " ( iop.tlen.on . , thl

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.

WASIUNOTON , D. C. , March 2. [ 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.

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. Memories of
the driving tempest of four years ago caused
the builders of nearly all the stands which
line Peunsylvanlaavcnuo to cover them with
roofs.

trying to sell the surplus stock of Harrison
and Morton badges which were prepared for
the Minneapolis convention.
The continued popularity of President
Harrison is shown by an enterprising photo
grapher who recently secured a full length
negative of the retiring chief magistrate.
He has made a largo number of these photo
graphs and is selling them at good round
prices without having to hawk them about
tlio streets.

1'roviillMK for Thirsty Democrats.
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

run from Lakewood In HO minutes , not in
cluding stops. The party had eaten luncheon
north of Philadelphia and were not at all
wearied by their journey.
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. No effort wa.s made , however , to
avoid the welcome of the crowd.
Knrouto from thu Station.
As soon as the train came to a standstill
Mr. Cleveland alighted and was irccelved on
the platform by Colonel Barrett and Mr.
Norris of the local committee of arrange
ments. These gentlemen were then taken
to thu car and presented to Mrs. Cleveland ,
who remembered them both.nndto the other
members of the party.
In the meantime the policemen had cleared
a narrow lane through the cro d from the
exit of the station to the curb where a half
dozen carriages were watting. In walking
to the carriages Mr , Cleveland came llrst
arm in arm with Colonel Barrett and Sirs ,
Cleveland followed escorted by Mr. Norris.
Immediately behind Mrs. Cleveland came a
white capped maid bearing In herarms Baby
Uuth.
Mr Cleveland's appearance as he emerged
from the station was greeted with a tre
mendous cheer , which was related for Mrs.
Cleveland and redoubled for thu maid and
the baby. Mr. Cleveland acknowledged this
welcome by llfttngithls flllc hat and bowing ,
Mrs. Cleveland smiled and the baby looked
bewildered. '

The party lost no Jlme | n hurrying to their

of curious onlookers. Mr. Cleveland looked
remarkably well. His step was elastic and
his bearing sccmocl buoyant. lie wore a
heavy black overcoat buttoned to the chin.
Mrs. Cleveland wo to a blue serge gown and
a hat of dark fclU lOver the dress hum ? n

At the ladles entrance to the Arlington the
canopy over the sidewalk was hemmed on
both sides by pcrl/aps 1,000 people who had
been patiently standing there for tin hour
ami who were only kept back from the en
trance by the platoons of policemen. Across
the street opposite Ihc entrance several car
riages were groui&c' ' which were covered
with onlookers. |
Mr. Roselle , the proprietor of the hotel ,
hastened to the curb just as Mr. Cleveland's
carriage was driven up and assisted the
president-elect anil his wife to alight.
Within the hotel the ladles' reception room
was thronged with guests who. however ,

passed across the 'room to the elevator ,
which carried them to the second floor ,

Eighteen Complaints ot Falun Imprisonment
JMndo Against Him.
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.

DENVEU , Colo. , March 2. The trial of the
boy murderer , Anton Woodo , who is scarcely
II years of age , came to an end toJay by the
jury failing to agree on a verdict. Eleven of
them favored murder in the second degree
while the twelfth was in favor of acquittal ,
probably on account of an impression that
the boy was not mentally sound.
The boy Woodo lived with his parents on a
ranch twenty miles north of Denver , and on (
November 2 last Joseph Smith of this city
was in that vicinity hunting rabbits.
Woodo volunteered to show him where there
was plenty of game. Smith was iwssessed of
a gold watch and a new gun , and when Woode
saw them , as he afterwards confessed , he
determined to kill Smith and rub him.
Woodo was armed with an old musket and
led Smith Into n ravine , where ho shot him
in the back , killing him instantly. The
young murderer then took the coveted
watch and gun und went home , where ho
stayed until arrested. He expresses no re
gret for the crime and says that ho wojld
kill anybody in order to obtain what ho de
sired.

HEK. ] The clans have begun to gather for
the Inaugural events of the famous Olymplo
spring carnival , and. although it is now but
n few minutes after 7 , the vast amphitheater
presents an Interesting picture. The attend
ance , notwithstanding the intense disgust of
the visiting siHjrtsmoii over the fluke of
Tommy Ryan , promises to be quite satis
factory , although nothing llko up to ex
pectation. At a liberal estimate there
are . tfiOO ticket holders already seated , and
by the time that Hlnea ami McMillan enter
the ring at 8 o'clock the probabilities are
that there will bo as many iriore. That the
whole affair Is an unanticipated frost there
is no denying , but the club Is In hopes of
pulllrig out even on the Goddard-Smlth
battle tomorrow night. Despite the gener
ally supposed disparity In the merits of
these two.men there is a very ( foi.eral Inter
est in the light , curiosity being mainly stim
ulated by the desire to see just how quiche
the Barrier champion will spoil the Denver
pug's face. Some give him three minutes on
earth , some siv , while oihers are willing to
bet o.lds that ho will go over the ropes , b.irb
wire fence and all at the very llrst punch
from the leviathan from the antipodean
lands.
Only n Clioit of thu Old Crowd.
The audience tonight is largely a local ono ,
from the simple fact tint forjlgn sport Is

Chicago , Pittsburg , Philadelphia , Now York ,

I'rogriiiii tor the livening ,
Tlio preliminary event this evening la a
finish light between the two Billies , Mc
Millan of Washington , D. C. , and Hines of
Providence , R. f. . They light , at welter
weight , limit , 142 , for a purse of $800. But
little is known of the pair , but as they
have . already reported In extra line shape an ,
interesting contest is expected. Immedi
ately following this llstlc battle the
wrestlers , Evan Lewis , the notorious
strangler , and Ernest Roeber , the German
giant , will bo on. 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 .
The MeMillan-Hinos soiree over the
attendants of the club quickly took poses-
slop of the ring and hauling In hugo bags
of sawdust , covered the ring to
the depth of four or live Inches , The pro-
ludatory conflict had but whetted the appe
