The Nebraska Assembly.
Hew at*.~The senate on the 2nd became In
volved lu a parliamentary tangle over the
bill providing for u new dormitory for the
Peru normal school. Today the senate un
did some of this hasty work. The dormi
tory appropriation was recalled, arid the
measure must henceforth take Its chances.
The vote by which the bill win passed was
reconsidered by a vote of 17 loll. In the
afternoon the senate took up regular routine
work. As soon as it had lieen called to order
the senate went Into committee of t he whole,
with Mr. (iotidrlug in I In* chair, to take up
the consideration of senate file No. 2W. which
had lieen made a special order for this after
noon. Frit/, of TJiurston. author of the lilll,
tried to have the name of Felt* of Keith sub
stituted for Ilia* of Mr. (iondrlng. hut the
motion failed to carry, and Mr. (iondrlng
took the chair. Henate file No. 23V provides
that I he terms of all county officers shall In*
for the period of four years, and that all
county officers now ill office shall hold
said offices without further election
until I sum. In other words, the pro
positi law extends for two years the ,
term of office of all county officers,
The commit tee math* short work of the
hill. After it had been read Mr. Frit/,
offered an amendment which limited
t he tenure of office to a single term. It was
agreed to without dissent. Then Mr. Mut/.
offered anottier amendment providing that
the llrst election of county officers under the
pro|H>sed law should he held Jii 1SW7. This
was also agreed to hy a vote of 14 to 7. Mr.
Heal moved that tlie committee rise and re
port the hill hack to the senate with the
recommendation that the hill lx* Indefinitely
postponed. To this Mr. McUanu offered an
amendment that the hill lx* recommended
for passage. Finally the hill was recom
mitted to the committee on Judiciary. Sen
ate file No. 2, the anti-compact Insurance
hill. Introduced by Mr. Ilaller. was placed on
Its final reading and pu*»ed hy a vote of 2* to
I. Senate file No. 305. Introduced hy Mr.
(iondrlng. to amend the Irrigation law. was
read the third tInn* and passed. House roll
No. |HA was read the third time and passed
It leagall/es certain acts of the county cifbi
mlssiouerf of Buffalo county. Up to this
time the passage of the hills hud proceeded
without Interruption; hut from this time on
t he afternoon proceedings, so far as hills on
third reading were concerned, were bail I y
broken up. Hill after bill was read and
found to he radically defective In construc
tion nr In the manner in which It hud been
engrossed.
Henatk. The senate devoted the session on
the 24th entirely to the severul normal
M'hixil propositions. It transpired very
early in the day that a combination had been
effected for the purpose of establishing not
one. tmi t wo, normal scnoois. one in ©cotta,
and one at York. Long before tint day closed,
however, the combination went to pieces and
ail normal school bills wen* killed for the
session. Mr. McCtann said that the necessity
for a normal school was apparent to every
body. Scotia was but forty miles from the
geographical center of the state. It was ac
cessible to the people of twenty counties.
The buildings were sufficient for all the
needs of a normal school for the coming ten
years. He contended that such a school at
York would la* superfluous as that city was
within an hour's ride of the University
of Nebraska, which furnished ample fa
cilities for the training of teachers In
the south ami central purl of the state.
There was lengthy discussion on th** mutter,
some favoring York and others Scotia. Mr.
Mediant) closed the debate with a plea for the
Scotia proposition. At 4:20 o'clock a vote
was reached on Haller's motion thut the
committee recommend to Indefinitely post
pone all normal school bills. It was agreed
to by a vote or IS to 11. Tills kills all normal
school propositions for this session. Mr.
<bd>oni moved that the vote by which senate
tile No. £11 was passed lust Monday Is* recon
sidered. This motion was declared tot)© out
of order until the bill was In tie- possession
of the senate. Mr. < ’aldwell moved that the
house t>e requested to return the bill to the
senate, lie said that there was good reasons
for tbe belief that the bill, which proposed to
retrain the crime, of gambling, had been
passed In Ignorance of its true purport.
After discussion the motion to recall the hill
was agreed to. When th© bill was returned
the vote by which it was pussed was recon
sidered and the bill sent back to the com
mittee of the whole. A committee consisting
of Talbot, Ooudrlng and Howell was ap
pointed to confer with a like committee from
ttie house relative to fixing a day for final
adjournment. The senate then adjourned.
Senate. Tlu* senate on the 2.1th resolved
itself Into an Informal sifting committee this |
forenoon. The approaching end of the ses
sion was evidenced in the hasty scramble of
individual senators to get their favorite bills
In under cover. Utils on third reading were
taken up as soon as the chaplain had said
his prayers. Hut one hill whs ready, house
roll No. 144, Introduced by Burkett of Lan
caster. it makes grave robbing .» felony
Instead of a misdemeanor. The hill has al
ready passed the house and the senate sent
It to t he governor. Mr. Milts brought up Ids
bill, senate tile No. 1»M. providing for the
dividing of thi* Fifteenth Judicial district
into two districts, aud moved that It In* ad
vanced to a third reading. This motion
brought on .i llrst-class controversy. The
motion to advance the bill was not ugi-eod to.
Mr. (iondrlrig asked that senate tile No. 240
be engrossed for its final passage. This Is
one of the important hills <>f the session,
although It has uttucted hut little attention,
it authorlzes the attorney general to com*
me nee mi action to recover from the sureties
of an official Umd running to the state In the
county in which the sureties reside. \t

I TARIFF DISCUSSION.
HIDES AND TRUSTS THE
SUBJECTS.
SIMPSON FOR HIDE DUTY.
Mr. Walker of .Mmnmrh.ij.rtlN I’rr.lIrtH
Thai Eventually All the KallroaiN
In the Country Will lie Con
trolled hy a Muffle Corpora
tion—Orow anil Vandi
ver Heroine I’erHunnt.
Wasihnotox, March 2ft During si
discussion in the House to-day concern
ing a duty on hides, Mr. Hopkins, re
publican. of Illinois, said that there
vvus no demand for such n duty, and
Mr. Walker of Massachusetts ex
plained that few hides were imported
except those used for sole leather, so
thitt u duty ou hides would Is- of little
benefit to farmers, if a duty on hides
would increase their production in this
country the Republican aide would be
unanimously in favor of such a duty.
He argued that great combinations
necessarily reduced the cost of produc
tion and consequently the price to the
people. Trusts were the natural out
come of higher civilization. He pre
dicted that eventually all the railroads
in the country would be controlled by
a single corporation.
Mr. Orow of Pennsylvania was ex
plaining how the duty on tin plate has
established that industry in this coun
try when he and Mr. Vandiver of Mis
souri lie.-ume involved in a personal
controversy over the question of "who
paid the tax arising from an increased
tin plate duty."
Mr. Simpsou of Kansas, after re
marking on the conspicuous part
played hy Mr. (.row during the stirring
days of the war, said it was sad to see
him now the "defender of trusts
and combines, whose purpose was
to enslave the c American people.”
lieferring to the question of free

would be of more importance to the
farmer than all the other duties in the
agricultural schedule. It would mean
an Increase of 81 each on every one of
the 5,422,000 hides taken from the cat
tle slaughtered last year.
Mr. I’ayne of New S'ork insisted that.
Mr. Himpson entirely misunderstood
the question. The hides imported did
not come into competition with Ameri
can hides. The former were used al
most exclusively for sole leather.
FOR FARM BOUNTIES.
genslnr Smll U't I’ropoaed .4 lurioiiiicnl to
the Tariff Hill.
Washing tos, March •.'!». Senator
Smith of New Jersey, a Democrat, de
clares that he will offer an amendment
to the tariff bill to provide for the pay
ment of h bounty on wheat and cot
ton, two of the principal articles of
export. Ho says that neither wheat
nor cotton are exported into this coun
try in quantities to interfere in any
degree with American wheat and cot
ton growers and that therefore the
domestic producers of these articles
cannot be protected by import duties
as can manufacturers. He insists tiiat
there is no essential difference between
a protective duty and a bounty, and
that as wheat and cotton cannot be
protected by a duty, it is but fair to
help them by a bounty.

RUSSIA SORE AT POWERS.
The Situation Itrgarileil an Very Serious
—Austria's Aggressive Proposal.
St. Pitimbtro, March 211.—In high
official quarters here much annoyance
Is felt at the signs of the vacil
lating policy shown by the powers
at a moment when the greatest
firmness is necessary. The feeling
here is that the other powers are try
ing to place llussia in the undesirable
position of allowing the shedding of
Christian blood The (Itgoloski pub
lishes a very strong article on the
subject and thinks Knglaml is going
to establish herself in Crete and as
Crete is not what the Dardanelles is to
llussia. the latter would not go to war
about it.
In diplomatic circles the position is
looked upon as very embroiled and the
only solution that if the Creeks insist
on fighting they should he allowed to
go on and be beaten. It is considered
that after all the center of interest is
entirely concentrated on what is tak
ing place on the Greco-'I urkish fron
tier.

All H*-pul>ll<»n« Must Ho.
Topeka, Kan.. March 29.—Mrs. Fan
nie Beardslee, who for ten years has
been clerk in the adjutant general's
office, was to-day removed and Miss
McLallin, daughter of the late I)r. Mc
l.ulliu. appointed in her place. The
salary is $600. Mrs. lteardslee re
tained her place through the Levell
