hotel tho others met In conference nt
tho stnto house, where thu purpose was
explained to be to arrange for remaining In

ing ns usual. This very statement was
predicated on tho obstruction of thu cnuetia,
because, should It effect a nomination, n
protracted Joint session would bo unnecea
nary. .Senator Martin made a long speech,

that matter was loft up In tlu air. Tho'

$7",ono for the erection of it new wing to
the Itastlnsa asylum. The bill wan strongly
opposed by Senator Arends, who apoke lit
behalf of economy. Senator Lymnn of
Hastings supported the bill but when It
became apparent that the bill could not be
panned with nn appropriation of J75.O0O the
sctator from Adams accepted nn itmend
n.ent reducing tho nmoutit to $50,000, and
in this shape the bill win recommended
for pnsinge.
Tho committee then arose and. after
adopting the report nnd also .1 motion to
limit (he debate on each bill to five min
utes In committee of tho whole the senate
again resolved Itself Into a .committee of
the whole, with Tronipeii In the chair, rot
the purpose of considering the salary ap
proprlatlon bill. Tho bill na It enmc from
the houae was accepted until tlin olllce of
labor commissioner was reached, when
Oliaoit of fuming moved to strike out nil
clerical help for this offlec, .which was
nmended by Senator Crounae to strike out
the appropriation for thl olTlce altogether,
lie contended that It would take n largo
amount of money to make the ofrtce choc
tlve and thnt It Is of but little use as nt
piosent "ondurted. Senator Owens declared
that the reports from thla olllce were not
to bo tellcd upon. The olllce was defended
by Henntor O'Neill, but upon a vote the
amendment of the setintor from Washing
ton wna put and carried by n large ma
jority, nnd the olllce of labor commis
sioner In Nebraska wns knocked out. In
asmuch hs there will bo no appropriation
mndo for this ofnee it will be nbollahrd
after this law becomes effective, April 1.
However, It will be necessary for tho house
to concur in thla action before It becomes
effective.
Wraiiule 0rr llrmiil ClerK.
The next item taken up was the appro
priation for the olllco of the secretary of
state. An effort was mndo to impropriate
$!'00 per year for n brnnd clerk, but this
was objected to by Crounso and others,
who thought this work could and should be
done by the present olllco force.
It was suggested by Senator Arends that
tho salary of tho deputy secretary be In
cicnsed and that he be required to look
after tho brand work. Owens, Currle, Van
Ilosklrk and other senators, who arc known
nn he rattle mem oers, uioukiii u '"
3 nortnnt work and that n special clorK
3i I ..i,, i, ,i, v.il tnr i he work. It wns
finally decided to employ a brand cleric at a
snlnrv of JH00 per year
Kcnntor Currlo offered an amendment to
non-concur In the action oi mc nous
hlch reduced tho snlnry of tho deputy
secretary from $1,000 to $1,500, which car
ricd.
The salary of the bookkeeper in tins omcc
was rnlaid from $1,200 to $1,500. Tho olflco
of adjutant general was the next consul
red.
Senator Steele wanted to raise the salary
of the ndjutnnt general from $1,330 to
$1,800 per year. The effort was n failure,
as was also the attempt to rnlso the salary
nf ilm ntnrekeoncr In this olllce from ?S00
to $!00 per year, both salaries remaining
the same as they arc nt present.
UiieMlliiu of I'llmlnar
O'Neill moved that the printing of the
houao Journal be referred to the committee
on printing, which was agreed to.
Ransom moved to advance to mint reau
Ing houae roll 4C, which provides that the
mode of Inflicting death shall no ny nang-
Ing aud that all executions shall take place
In tho penitentiary. This was objected to
by tho Lancaster seuatora. who tliougnc
each county should take cam of its own
executions, but the motion prevailed and
the bill was advanced to third reading.
A motion was adopted requiring all stanti

LONDON, March 27 -The challenge of
Harvard und Vulo universities to Oxford
und Cninhrldgu for u regular set of track
games suggests the usual Oxford-Cambridge
program, Including weight-throwing,
with two added events, which the dial
ICimers propose shall be selected from the
220-yiud Hprlnt. 22ii-yanl hurdle race, pole
Jump mid weight-throwing.
In iho opinion of Oxford athletes none
of tho four extra events Is desirable,
partly because they urn quite unaccus
tomed to two of them, while they consider
weight-throwing unattractive, and tlto 220
yurd sprint dangerous on u round course
with corners. The main diniouliy. however,
ueordlng to oftlcliilH of the Oxford Univer
sity Athletic club who were seen by u
representative of the Annotated Press, aro
tho duly date and llnancliil considerations.
With regard to the date tlio Oxonluns point
out Unit sad experience hua taught Kngllsli
meii that, while the Kngllsh duly nlr te
freshes American athletes on their urrival.
American duly air absolutely Incapacitates
Kngllsh athletes. With the meeting llxcil
