th officers and crew of the battleship
Nebraska, brought forth another spirited
discussion. McClay of Lancaster wanted
to amend the bill to Include a library for
ths crew, Clarke Only designating a silver
service "or other suitable gift," which
McClay thought would Include only officers.
Wilson of Pawnee opposed the bill on the
ground that the stata needed the money
for other purposes.
"I think the appropriations of this legis
lature are going to exceed what most or
you think."
McLeod of Stanton offered an amendmen:
for ths library Idea and Clarke accepteu
the amendment. Clarke said he had con
sulted the governor as to what he thought,
of this bill and the governor had expressed
the belief that It would be a popular thing
to do.
Wilson thought It best to raise this money
by popular subscription and apply the prun
ing knife to appropriations not absolutely
necessary.
Kaley of Webster spoke on the bill. Pea
body of Nemaha thought It would be more
acceptable to the "men behind the guna"
to give them 1,000 euchre decks than either
a sliver act or library. He approved the
bill on . economical grounds. Foster of
Douglas was for the bill and 'against the
library amendment. . . .
Coats of Holt approved the bill because
he said the appropriations were going to
be heavier, than ever before. He said the
Increase in salaries of teachers In state
educational institutions alone would be
over $100,000.
McMullen of Oage favored the bill, say
ing the real purpose was not to benefit
either crew, or officials,, but to give a me
mento as a token of the state to the great
ship that bears the name of the common
wealth on the high seas. He made an elo
quent appeal for the bill and added:
"If the state cannot afford to give the
small amount of $6,000, give nothing at all."
The McLeod library amendment was lost.
Foster offered an amendment making the
appropriation $2,500. "
Kaley begged th house not to be parsi
monious. He wanted the $5,000 appropria
tion to stand.
Douglas) of Rock supported the original
bill, assuring, the house that If the com
mission found it possible to buy a suitable
trophy for less than $5,000 It would do so.
X motion to report th bill for passage
carried by a vote of 39 to 81. Clarke then
made a motion to report' progress On the;
bill, but la the confusion the motion was
not submitted to a vote. The committee
arose, leaving the bill before the house.
McAllister of Deuel submitted a motion
t sjsoept H. K. 106 from the report of
the committee of the whole and that it
be recommended for indefinite postpone
ment. Lee and DOdge of Douglas pleaded
for th bill and against the motion. They
both begged for further consideration of
the bill. .
"Don't 5e so niggardly as to refuse to
grant this small appropriation for such a
purpose," said Dodge, "Every state does
such a thing and let us not be small and
parsimonious." , , '
Perry. took one more punch at the bill.
Douglas sought to save the bill by mak
ing a motion to adjourn, but the motion
was lost, $4 to 41.
McAllister's motion to indefinitely post
pone hetblll was carried by a vote of 45
to $4 on roll call.
At 4:46 the house adjourned.
These bills were Introduced In the house:

OPERA SEAT ADVANCE SALE
Omaha Bays Nearly as Maas- aa K ea
ses City la tbe First
Three Hoar.
During the sale of seats for "Parsifal"
and "Lucia" at the Excelsior office yester-
day Mr. Chase received a telegram from
Mr. Schlotterbeck of the Metropolitan
opera house in New York city, who has
charge of the transcontinental totjr of the
Conreld company, that the advance sale
of seats In Kansas City in the first three
hours yesterday amounted to $1,000. To
this Mr. Chase Immediately replied that
while Omaha did not pretend to be as big
ss Kansas City It could show a record for
the same time of $S30. The sale was really
remarkable for a beginning, considering
that the data Is so distant, March 29 and
30. But the desire to secure advantageous
seats has led to a large advance booking
all over the country. There are no reduc
tions for those subscribing for the two
nights of "Parsifal" and "Lucia," but the
one attraction' Is almost as strong aa the
other, and the advantage Ilea in the fact
that the sale of seats for the one night
only will not occur until much later.
The teachers of the public schools are
showing a very decided Interest in the
production, as are slso the members of
the Woman's club, which is to have a
lecture on "Parsifal' by Mr. Chase on
March 8, which will doubtless be thrown
open to the public free. Society is also
to be out in force at the opera both nights
and several of the best boxes afre already
spoken for, as well as the choice locations
on the main floor.
Mr Schlotterbeck will be in Omaha
shortly to look over the field and Mr. Con-
reid himself has announced his intention
of taking In Omaha also, in order to ac
quaint himself with local conditions.
WOMEN ARE DISCOURAGED
Fond for Monument to I'nlon Vet
erans Languishes and Ex
tension Seems Hopeless,
The Ladles' Union Veteran Monument
association of Douglas county met last
evening at the city hall to further con
sider the monument proposition. It was
intended to take final action and proceed
with the erection of the monument at
Forest Lawn cemetery with the means
now in the treasury of the association,
which approximates $1,800. Owing to the
small number present it was concluded to
defer' final action In the matter until a
special meeting, which Is called for Mon
day evening, February 20. It Is hoped
that every member of the association and
all Interested In the monument proposition
will make it a point to be present at that
meeting.
The association has received several
plans for monuments that will come within
the present means, and It is determined to
go ahead with the matter unless a major
ity of those present at the special meet
ing shall direct otherwise. The members
of the association have become discouraged
over the prospect of adding to the monu
ment fund and wish to have the monu
ment built while some of the veterans
are still alive. The funds thus far ob
tained have been gathered in small sums,
the largest donation being $100, and the
greater portion of the -emainder coming
from small subscriptions and realised from
special entertainments given under the
auspices of the association In the past sev
eral years.
MEN FU THE POLICE FORCE
Board Spend Evening In Examining
Applicants for the Five
Vacancies.
Five men are needed on the 'Omaha po
lice force and several hundred stand read
to take the jobs at $65 a month for the
first half year. Most of the time of the
Board of Fire and Police Commissioners
at the regular meeting last night was
taken up considering twenty-five applicants
who had been picked from the bunch and
instructed to appear. Each man was sub
jected to a personal Interview behind
closed doors, after a physical examination
had been made. No appointments were
made last night, and none will be an
nounced for a week. . The vacancies on
the force have been caused by deaths and
disability during the past year. Ten men
are needed for the reserve list on the fire
department also, but this matter has not
been taken up yet, there being almost as
many cltlsens who would be firemen as
policemen. The rooms were crowded by
the applicants and their friends.
Resolutions were adopted appreciative of
the assistance rendered . by the Council
Bluffs, South Omaha and Union Pacific
fire departments at the Eleventh and How,

back to Omaha after he has given his testi
mony in the Tekamah case.
TREATMENT OP PILES
Permanence of Care the True Test.
Many so called pile remedies will afford
the user slight temporary relief and the
majority of those afflicted do ' not expect
more than this.
The average sufferer, after having tried
every preparation recommended for the
cure of piles, comes to the conclusion that
there is no cure except by an operation
and rather than undergo this "lost resort"
he suffers on, resigned to the situation, so
far aa may be. The attention of those
Interested Is Invited to the following ex.
perlenc. '
VAfter ten year of suffering from blind,

II0USE TAKES UP RATE BILL
Debate Upon Proposed Legislation Regu
lating Freight Charges Begins.
r faaVnanSsnassB
ADOPT RULE CUTTING OFF AMENDMENTS
Hoase Managers Make ..Reply to An
swer Filed by Judge Swayne
In Impeachment Pro
ceed lags. .
WASHINGTON. Feb. . Following weeks
of hearings and consideration by the com
mittee on Interstate and foreign commerce
as well as urgent recommendations of the
president on the subject, the house of rep
resentatives today began debating the pro
posed legislation looking to the regulation
of railway freight rates. This action was
only taken after determined opposition by
the democrats, led by John Sharpe Wil
liams, the minority lesder, to. the adoption
of a rule which would shut out opportunity
to amend the bill. Two republicans, Messrs.
Southwlck and Vreeiand of New York,
voted against the rule, and one democrat,
Gaines of Tennessee voted for It. Other
wise party line were tightly drawn.
In criticising the committee on rules tor
shutting off all opportunity for amendment,
Mr. Williams contended that If that op
portunity were given the democrats had
with them a sufficient 'number of repub
llcans to pass a bill embodying In all its
particulars the views of the president He
offered to surrender the time offered to his
side for debate, as well as to forego a vote
on the minority substitute If amendments
would be allowed to be offered, but the
appeal was refused by the majority.
Mr. De Armond of Missouri charged that
the right to amend had been arranged "In
the narrowness of partisanship."
The fairness of the rule to all members
was declared by Mr. Dalzell to be apparent,
since It afforded full opportunity to vote on
both bills offered by the two parties. The
rule was also 'defended by- Mr. Grosvenor
of Ohio. - ..
Messrs. Townserfd ' (Mich.), one of the
authors of the bill under consideration, and
Richardson (Ala.) occupied the remainder
of the day In discussing It, both sounding
a note of warning to the railroads that un
less they joined hands with congress in
the matter the people would demand more
drastlo legislation. '
Before taking np the question of freight
rates the house adopted the replication of
the committee of "seven managers to tho
reply of Judge Swayne to the Impeachment
charges. In which if was reiterated that
Judge Swayne was guilty of the crimes al
leged against him.
Hoase Replies to ' Swayne.
The house again had before it the Swayne
Impeachment .case. Mr. Palmer (Pa.) pre
sented the. reply of, the managers of tho
house to the answer of the judge. The rep
lication reiterates that Judge Swayne "Is
guilty of the high crimes and misdemean
ors mentioned in said articles and that the
house of representatives Is ready to prove
the same."
Without comment of any kind the replica
tion was adopted. Authority was given
the managers to file wjth the secretary of
the senate any subsequent pleadings they
shall deem neqessary.
There was- a , spirited debate on a bill
to ratify an agreement with the Indians
of the Shoshone or Wind River reserva
tion in Wyoming. Opposition came princi
pally from Messrs. Fitsgerald (N. Y.) and
McMoran (Mich.),, and was based upon an
alleged special' preference to be granted
to soma one to select 640 acres of valuable
mineral and oil land of said reservation.
Messrs Mondell (;Wyo.), LaceyWIa.), and
Hjtchcock (Neb.)..- supported 'the measurer.
the former becoming engaged in a heated
cuuoquy wiui mr. craorao, wno charged
that it wa proposed, to rob the Indians.
Mr. Mondell moved to suspend the rules
and pass the blll,' but the. bill failed to
receive the necessary twp-thlrds vote and
was t . ' .
Unanimous consent was given making tho
bill to provide for the government of the
Panama canal sone, ate., a continuing or
der of the house, to be called up at any
time. The bill, among other things, abol
ishes the Panama Canal commission and
puts the management of canal affairs In the
hands of the president. Mr, Dalzell then
presented a resolution from the committee
on rates providing., that immediately upon
its adoption the house, in committee of the
whole, shall take up . and consider the bill
for the regulation, of freight rates, and
continue to discuss .until Thursday at 8
o'clock, when a vo.te. shall be. taken. On
division the previous question was ordered
by a margin of seven votes, the vote stand
ing 162 to 155. Mr. Williams (Miss.) de
manded the yeas and nayes, and the roll
was called.
The previous question was ordered, 171
to 140. The democrats, with the exception
of Gaines. (Tenn.), ''voted solidly against
the motion, while Southwlck, (N. Y.), was
the only republican voting with the demo
crats. .
Mr.. Dalzell' briefly explained the resolu
tion, being followed by Mr.. Williams, the
minority leader, who said that every man
voting for the previous question knew that
It would have the effect of preventing any
amendment to the resolution.
Mr. De Armond (Mo.), attacked the reso
lution "as wholly unnecessary, narrow and
partisan," because It - did not permit
amendment and because the majority
party had determined for the minority that
the blh should be voted on as a substi
tute. The right of the minority to nanie
its own substitute, he declared, hod been
dented "in narrowness and in the nar
rowness of shallow partisanship." Most
men, he said, believed the bill would be
strangled in tbe senate. .
Grosrenor Explains Rule.
The rule was characterized by Mr. Gros
venor (O.) as fair to the minority because
the democrats in caucus had determined
to vote tor their bill as an amendment to
the republican bill at the proper time. He
said six months from now they would be
"swearing that this was their measure."
Mr. Grosvenor, in answer to Mr. Cochran
(Mo.), was rehearsing the original Inter
atato commerce legislation when Mr.
Gaines (Tenn.) cried out, "Oh, pshaw."
When the laughter bad subsided Mr. Gros
venor Indignantly retorted, "That is in
keeping with th character of th position
he (Gaines) occupies."
Mr. Gaines sought to explain that he did
not Intend to be offensive, but Mr. Gros
venor would not b interrupted.
In denouncing the ruling Mr. Williams
declared that the object of the democratic
caucus had been accomplished. That ob
ject, ha said, was to let ths president of
the United States and the minority men of
tbe majority party know that there would
be no mere partisan opposition to a great
measure. The rule, be said, amid demo
cratic applause, had been brought In for the
purpose of preventing a majority of the en-1
tire house, composed of ths democrats sol
idly and a number of republicans, from
formulating a bill which would accomplish
the purpose sought."
"Your object Is," hs said, "to prevent
your own men from amending your own
bill with our asslstsnoe."
The Townsend-Esch bill, he said, had been
framed on the presumption that th Inter
state commerce commission would commit
an error, which was to be guarded against
William Offers Concessions.
Mr. Williams then offered to surrender
every moment of debate t the rule were
so amended AS to permit the vote i n three
amendments. II vn offered to give up
th vote on the minority substitute If the t
privilege he asked was accorded.
Mr. Dalxell, however, refused the propo
sition. The three amendments Mr. Wil
liams demanded were, he said, to give the
commission power to substitute a rats for
the one declared off; to make that rate
operative until laid aside by the final judg
ment ot the court, and to base appeal or
review to a court upon evidence adduced
before the Interstate commerce commission.
The debate was brought to a close by
Mr. Dalzell, who said, amid republican
laughter, that a democratic caucus was an
exceedingly unnecessary thing when It
sought to give aid to the president and
the republican party. He congratulated the
democratic party that since November last
they had discovered "that the man In the
White house is a good man not only for
republicans, but for democrats to follow."
He argued that nothing could be fairer
than to allow the house to pass on the
two propositions, the .bill ot the majority
and the minority's substitute. Mr. Dalzell
would not agree to a substitute offered by
Mr. Cock ran (N. Y.) that the time for the
bate be diminished, that the remaining
time be devoted to consider amendments,
which caused the latter to remark that the
democratic party proposed to surrender
debate and substitute action In Its stead.
On a roll call the rule was adopted, 166
to 140.
Messrs. Southwlck and Vreeiand (N. Y.),
republicans, voted against the resolution
and Gaines (dem., Tenn.) voted for it. Im
mediately the house went Into committee
of the whole to consider the Townsend-
Esch bill, Mr. Currier (N. H.) in the chair.
Ton-nsend opens Debate.
Mr. Townsend (Mich.), one of the author's
of the measure, began the debate. He said
that the bill presented ample occasion to
bring into prominence the agitator who
desired notoriety before his constituents
and who was eager to strike a blow at
the railroads "above or below the belt."
The occasion, he said, was equally fruit
ful "for that greed and seinshnesa born
of great power and nurtured by a great
desire for financial gain, which would de
ceive the congress and the nation Into bo
llevlng that the creatures of the govern
ment are beyond its control, and that the
railroads can solve It."
Mr. Townsend In reply to Mr. Richardson
(Ala.) said positively that the bill In con
nection with the so-called Elklns act would
reach the private car lines.
Mf. Richardson (Ala.) said the demand
for legislation to regulate freight rates
has come in such an earnest way that
congress could not for a moment disregard
it, but he counselled against engaging in
hasty or hostile legislation. He was par
ticularly antagonistic to a special court to
pass on rates, maintaining that it was a
departure from the Judicial system of the
government.

GOOD THAT MEN SEARCH FOR
father Slrltcb Discourse on "Ethics"
Before Large Class at Crelghtoa
Mtdlcal t'olleae.
Last evening Father Strltch of Crelgh
ton University delivered a lecture on the
subject of Ethics before a large class of
young men and young women.
"Ethics," he said "Is, the study of
the relation of God to man. Nothing In
human nature Is wholly bad. No man
ever sins for the sake of the evil that
Is in sin, but for the good that was In it
The tendency of human nature Is to shun
evil and pursue good. The will of man Is
always In the pursuit of good. Happlneea
does exlat and man Is constantly in
quest of It. There is a medium of fnlte
good, but It is unsatisfying. Man wants
honor, glory, praise, Intellect and virtue.
The saints sought ths infinite good. It
Is the Infinity of God's goodness and God
himself only that can satisfy the soul and
will thirst Theology does not interfere
with this quest of the will for good, it
confirms It. Good Is everywhere, any
where, there is no limit to It. The quest
of good of worldly character Is but a means
and not as an end to the acquirement ot
Infinite good."

II E LSI NG FO R S, Finland, Feb. 6.-Soisa
Ion Solnlnen, procuror general of Finland
who, before he was ennobled was known
by the name of Johnsson, was assassinated
today by a young man whoso identity up to
the present time hns not been determined
The assassin and Solnlnen's son were both
wounded In a revolver duel following the
killing. The motive of the crime apparently
was purely political, the slain official be
ing a prominent member of the government
party.
The murderer appeared at the procura
tor's residence at 11 o'clock today and sent
In a card bearing in French the name of
Alexandre Gadd, who Is In the Russian
service. The young man, who was smartly
drejwrd in an officer's uniform, was
promptly admitted to the official's private
study, and on his entrance Bred four shots
from a revolver, one of the bullets piercing
the breast of the procurator, who expired
almost Immediately. Ills 17-year-old son,
hearing the shots, rushed in from sn ad
joining room and fired three or four shots
at his father's assailant, whose right leg
was broken below the knee by a bullot. He
was also slightly wounded In tho shoulder
and a finger of his left hand was struck.
Tho assassin fired the one bullet remain
ing In his revolver at Solnlnen's on, wound
Ing him slightly In the calf of the right leg.
He then endeavored to escape, but fell un
conscious to the floor in the anteroom,
where he was seized.
Assassin Jiot Identified
Dr. Wasustjerna was called immediately
but found the procurator beyond Vieed of
his services. The assapsln was removed to
the surgical hospital, where he lies guarded
by police, answering no questions and evi
dently unconscious. His recovery, however,
Is thought to be certain.
Up to the present the authorities have
been unable to Identify him. He is of dark
complexion and apparently between 6 and
80 years of age.
Solnlnen was born In 1S56 and practiced
at the Finnish bar. He was highly es
teemed and had held various government
appointments, Including that of provincial
Judge. He was appointed procurator of
the senate In 1901 and in the same year
was made procurator general of the Duchy
of Finland. Johnsson was regarded as a
wise and patriotic official. It is understood
that it was at his initiative that the Finns
exiled by Governor General Bobrlkoff were
allowed to return to Finland.

ST. PETEItdHLRG, Feb. 7.-1:60 a. m.
The news of tho assassination of Bolsalon
Solninen, procurator general of Finland,
though occuring before noon on Monday,
was not generally known in St. Petersburg
lust night, but may be expected to produce
an Immense sensation when It becomes
public, as it will be regarded as the pre
cursor of an era of terrorism, for which
the events of January In St. Petersburg
and throughout Russia gave the signal.
Until tho Identity of the assassin is defi
nitely known It will bo Impossible, of
course, to establish the motive of the
attempt, btlt the present circumstances In
Finland render it almost certain that the
crime is of a purely political character
and of the same nature as the assassina
tion of Count Bobrlkoff, the governor gert
eral of Finland, in June of last year. 1
