noon voted to Indefinitely postpone Mc
Coy's hill to Piuend tho sections of the
Omaha charter which relate to tho Hoard
of I'lro and I'ollco Commissioners. Tho re
port of tho committee was afterwards
adopted by the wholo house. Representa
tives Uhl and Hunt opposed the measure
and McCoy and Mead spoko In Its favor.
Tho argument used against It was that It
would eventually couso a reduction of the
salary of tho chief of tho Omaha flro de
partment. Whltmore of Hamilton county
and Fowler of rillmore also opposed Its
passage. Tho bill was finally postponed on
motion of Uhl, seconded by Hunt.

and thoso with four or moro animals, $100.
It wns contended In tho argument that

UHARLKS ll, DIBTIUCU. Oovornor,
In commlltce. of tho whole, with Senator
Krumbach In tho cbatr, senate file 231. u
compulsory education law, brought out
some discussion. Senator O'Neill was In
favor of tho bill. He thotifiht some meas
urcs should bo taken to compel children t
attend school, and as a further nrgument
that the bill was a good one ho cited tho
fact that the hill was one which had been
drawn up by the Stuto Teachers' assocla
tlon and he thought It should bo passed.
"Thoso remarks should kill the bill,
said Senator Martin. "The past week wc
have seen u good bill killed because It had
been recommended by the State liar asso
ciation, and If thero was excuse for thK
why not kill this one, because It has been
rcrommended by tho teachers of the stnte'.''1
"Does the senator comparo tho lawyers
with tho teachers?" asked Senator O'Nnlll.
"No, sir, 1 do not. Tho lawyrrs are
head' and shoulders above every other pro
fession, except tho doctors, and they nr:
shoulder to shoulder with them," replied
Senator Martin,
Senator Allen was In favor of the bill
and along with Senators Currle and Harlan
spoko In behalf of the measure. Senntor
Crounse thought the law was already upon
the statutes, with but little change, and
ho did not think It wlso to come hero mid
pass a largo number of laws, only to have
them repealed by the next legislature.
Senator Young thought thero was no
crying need for such n law and that It
would be a rlcad letter law. Tho bill, after
considerable discussion, however, was rec
ommended to pass,
Other bills considered by the committee

LINCOLN, March 20. (Special.) Tho
senate, Just before adjournment this even
Ing, passed house roll 138, a bill for tho
protection of game and IIbIi, by a voto of 2u
to 1. The bill hns attracted considerable
attention throughout tho entlro state. It
docs away with market hunting and places
many other restrictions on tho hunter.
The senate, by an almost unanimous vote,
recommended for passage senate file 2S6,
Senator Crounso's bill providing for the
salo of tho governor's mansion and tho
furniture therein. Speaking In behalf of
his hill, Senator Crounso said that the stato
had no right whatever to maintain a gov
crnor's mansion. "Our constitution
strictly prohibits any such thing. It is
true," suld tho ex-governor, "that other
states furnish their governors mansions,
but It is also true that tholr constitutions
nro framed so that they can do so legally.
It Is also suggested that our governor Is
too poorly paid and that ho should be
furnished his house rent, but this Is only
nn argument In fnvor of tho bill, for it Is
well known that n governor would havo lo
bo a wealthy man to maintain tho mansion
Our present governor docs not caro to un
dertake the maintenance of It, and I do not
think the stnto should maintain it any
moro than it should tho homo of any other
stato ofUccr. Wo novor had any legal right
to purchase It, and wc should get rid of It
as soon ns possible."
Senator Martin said he wished to endorso
what Senator Crounso had said. "Tho con
stltutlon wns violated when tho state pur
chased this building," said tho senator,
"but wo should not allow our desire to
pleaso the governor to prompt us to con
tinue this violation by going Into tho pock
ots of tho stnto treasury. Our governor
receives but $2,500 per year, and If Iib
should nttcmpt to resldo in tho mansion
and maintain tho dignity of his ofllco It
would cost him twlco that amount.

WASHINGTON. March 20. Another com
munication wus received today from Special
Commissioner ltockhlll touching tho com
plications that havo resulted nt I'ekln from
the efforts of the various powers to decide
on u uniform basis of their Indemnity claims,
but there 1b nothing to Indicate that an
agtcGiucnt is any nearer than It was when
this subject was Urst taken up by the
minister. Although tho State department
Is moro than over convinced that Its sug
gestion looklug to the reference of tho cn
tiro subject of Indemnities to Tho Hague
commission is the true solution of tho diffi
culty, that proposition having been dell-
nltcly rejected early in tho negotiations, Is
not now before the ministers. No precise
Instructions havo been Bent to Mr. Hoeh
hlll within tho last few days on this point,
owing principally to tho absence of the
president from Washington. It Is presumed
that, now that tho president's attention lo
again directed to the subject, thero will bu
more complete definition of policy.
The situation nt Tien Tain still falls to
cxclto tho officials here, who feci that tho
critical point has passed.
A curious fact in connection with tho
Manchurlan complication Is that so fur
thero in no trace of an official protest to
Hussla against tho execution of Its an
nounced program in Manchuria. It Is not
for lack of disposition to opposo this policy
that tho protest has not appeared, but be
cause there is uo authenticated copy to be
had of tho reputed Chlno-IttiBslan agree
ment, and further, no one of tho powers
has yet been found willing to tako the Ini
tiative ln challenging Russia. Our Stato
department has exerted what influence, It
could to securo a statement of the facts as
to Manchuria, tho result of which has been
to secure a repetition of tho Hussion dis
claimer of Improper motives, but not a
definition of tho program for tho futtiro
further than It was defined In tho Russian
pronouncement of August last.
lf.-(MI,(MIO.O(M (lie AKKreKiite,
It is stated that tho sum total of In
demnities claimed by all nations cannot
bo calculated at this moment, because of
tho lack of agreement on tho part of tho
powers on the very basis of settlement
Hut assuming that tho other powers are
willing to accept tho scheme of adjustment
proposed by the United States, allowing a
certain nmour.t for each missionary killed
or Injured and another allowance for prop
erty destroycd.'the Bum total would bo con
siderably less than J2.0,000,000. It is not
doubted that under economical administra
tion, (with order completely restored and
with free access to tho Interior of China,
the Chinese revenues would be nble to meet
this charge against them within a reason
able time.
llut it appears almost hopeless now to
expect tho other powers to accopt the
same hauls of compensation that would
satisfy tho United States government. Not
only Is thero a vnst difference ln the scale
of thoso demands, based on military ex
periences, but there is also a very radical
difference of opinion ns to tho treatment
of tho native Christians who havo suffered
ln person and property by tho Iloxcrs, and
it is believed that It this clement is to bu
treated with tho liberality claimed by some
European powers the Indemnity will bo
nearly $500,000,000 ln tho aggregate, an
amount quite beyond tho ability of China
to meet.

In circulation here to tho effect thnt sealed
indictments were returned by the special
grand Jury against two men for the mur
der of Millionaire Frank W. Hlchardson,
who was killed nt tho door of his wife's

is said that tho Indictments will not be

It Is alleged that Mrs. Hlchardson will
give evidence against the two. men If sho

hits been Indicted. Had tho Indictments
been made public and the two men ar
rested when Mrs. Richardson was indicted,
sho could not, it is argued, havo testified
against them without turning state's evl

Mrs. Hlchardson is to be tried on May 27.
