IJISCOLX , Nob. , March 15. [ Special to THE DDE. ] Toilny was the llfty-scconcl day of Iho session ns far ns Iho scnato was con cerned , and It was given up largely to rou tine work. The committees are digesting bills at n lively rate , nud a largo proportion of the measures Introduced during the tlwt forty days of the session have cither boon placed on Iho general fllo or Indefinitely post poned. This morning another largo hatch of bills was reported and placed on iho general flic. The committee on engrossed ami enrolled bills rp | > orlcd that senate Illo No. 13r , cm- bodying the amcndincnlslo the Omaha char ter , had lueii correctly engrossed. Tlip old wrangle over the payment of extra lime to employes came up. It seems that the soc-rotary and his assistants have been drawing doublu pay for the most of the days the senate has been In session , and single pay for the days when the senate was not in session , including .Sundays. The senators on the republican side have tried all through tlio session to fix Iho rule lhat an employe should receive but ono day's pay for o.c day's work. Senator Darner seemed lo voice the senti ments of the Independent senators this morning. Ho asserted that if employes wanted to put in bills for extra time and swear to tlio same. Iho senate could no nothing but allow the claims. The only pro- icclion Ihe senate had was in the honesty of Its employes. The scnato argued the matter an hour , and finally referred the whole mailer back to Iho coinniillce on accounts and expendi tures. Will Work No H\tm Time. Senator Stewart brought out his favorlto resolution providing for daily sessions to commence at 0 o'clock in the morning. Sen ator Graham mot it with a motion to lay the resolution on the table. The scnato re fused to have it thai way , however , and the motion to table was lest. The resolution was then placed on its passage , but as it made a change in the slanding rules of Iho senate it failed to rccclvn a two-thirds ma jority and was declared lost. Senator Gray precipitated another dis cussion on the employes question by offering a resolution to tlio effect thai if employes had beoii allowed pay for Sunday work the amount should bo deducted from the amount yet duo them. After another half hour spout in fruitless discussion the whole mat ter was laid on the table. The senate then took a recess until 2:00 : o'clock. When the scnalc reconvened afler noon Iho regular order of business was taken tip and a number of houHerolls were read the lir.-tt and second times and referred lo appro- uriate committees. Senate file No. 33" , by twloy , amending the criminal co'.lo. It gives justices of the peace jurisdiction in many cases of infr.ic- lion of criminal law now conferred upon county judges. Senate Illo No. 333 , by Lowlcy , also amend ing the criminal code In iho aamo manner , thn CImrlcr 1:111. At 3:15 : tlio senate took up senate fllo No. 127 , the bill containing the amendments to the Omaha charter , and the secretaries began the monotonous task of reading the bill. bill.It It require. ! ono hour and thirty-five min utes to read the bill. It w.is placed on its passage and received thirty-two votes and the nroslitcnt declared it passed with tlio emergency clause. The scnato then went into committee of the whole to consider senate files Nos. 210 , 02 and 73 , with Senator Mullen In the chnlr. Senate fllo No. 210 was first taken up. It was introduced by Senator Smith ana pro vides that articles of incorporation of street railways must contain n list of the termini of the proposed line and must designate the street or streets through which the lines are to bo run. Tno bill also limits the length ol the line on any ono street to five miles. Ono provision of tlio bill prevents any city from granting a franchise to two or more companies to operate a Hue on any ono street and prohibits more than ono line of street railway from being constructed on one street. The latter provision met with the opposi tion of Senators TefTt and Mattes , and the former moved that it bo stricken out. l > oth claimed that the effect'of the provisions would bo to give exclusive franchises to great monopolies. The committoa rose with out action on the bill at 0 o'clock , askirg leave to sit again. The senate then adjourned , after declining to report on a couple of bills from the finance committee , ono of them being the World's fair bill. O' ItrvoliitlmilHtH .Surrender.

From there Iho canal will continue to a point on the Platlo about fourteen mik-s from South Omaha , from which point power will bo transmitted to that city and Omaha. The route of Ihe proposed canal is much more feasible than the Fremont and Omaha nroject , the tolal expense being less Uian . ' ,000,000 , and has the advantage of being on the ground lloor , having filed a waler right to both the Pintle and Klkhorn rivers prior to the Fremont scheme.
