SENATE.—Today, February 26, was the fortieth day of the session, the last day on which bills can be intro duced, except upon a recommendation l»y the governor. As a result, a great er portion of the day in the senate was devoted to the reading of new bills, a large number being introduced dur ing the afternoon, there being twenty two bills sent up during the day. Aside from this the senate found time to listen to the reports of several com j mittees, and bills on second reading, as well as to pass seven bills and kill one. The total number of bills intro duced during the present session has fallen somewhat short, the record be ing 308, as compared with 355 two years ago, 383 four years ago and 411 six years ago. Two years ago the last day for the introduction of bills called forth more than 100, and a ulght session had to be called in order I to have them re*'!, while today the | consideration of new bills was dis posed of by 5 o’clock and no night session is necessary. The first bill of the session was introduced by Senator Newell and the last one by Senator Van Boskirk. The following bills came up for third reading and were passed: Senate file 42. by Ransom, an act to protect feeble-minded females.

House roll 204, by Swan son, an act to transfer the sinking fund to the general fund, and to pro vide for the credit of this and direct hereafter. LEGISLATIVE NOTES. With the last day for the introduc tion of bills passed, the record shows that in the senate there were a total of 309 bills introduced, or an average of about nine and a half for each of the thirty-three members. The rec ords, how’ever. show that some of the members were much more active in this work than were others. Senator Martin is responsible for thirty-three bills. Senator Ransom comee next with twenty-four, with Young of Stanton close on his heels with twenty-three. Senator Balbridgo, although having been absent since early in the session on account of sickness, comes fourth, there being seventeen measures bear ing his name. M. F. Harrington of O'Neill today made an argument before the house committee on railroads, having under consideration senate file 166, Senator Weber's bill, cutting freight rates on certain commodities from 10 to 15 per cent. Cattle, hogs, horses, lum ber, coal and hay are the principal commodities affected. This reduction is on the rates which were in force December, 1889. Mr. Harrington dis cussed the decision of the supreme court on the maximum freight law and contended that the decision was the only one that could be rendered upon the facts that were presented to th court, but argued that that decision did not prevent the legislative power from passing a bill reducing rates. Forty-three hills were introduced in the house on the 26tli, bringing the total number of-bills submitted in the one branen up to 478. The salaries appropriation bill, house roll 436, by Lane, carries a to tal appropriation of $879,800, as against $875,880 In the salary bill passed two years ago. On the whole salaries have been slightly raised, but no provision has been made for sala ries of the three secretaries of the state board of transportation, which made an item of $13,600 two years ago. Secretary McKesson of the senate has sprung an agreeable surprise in the shape of a printed senate calendar giving in an eight-page folder the exact status of every bill that has been be fore the senate. The Hat is corrected up to February 26 and will probably be revised from week to week and re issued. From It one can learn at a glance what has become of each sen ate bill, whether passed, on general file, indefinitely postponed or still in the hands of its appropriate commit tee. A list of house bills that have reached the senate is also appended with similar information as to their existence and whereabouts. The appropriations made for the va rious departments and institutions are as follows: Governor’s office, $16,480; adjutant general’s office, $17,1*30; labor commissioner’s office, $6,680; secretary of state's office, 15,680; auditor's of fice, $29,360; treasurer's office, $15,780; state superintendent’s office. $8,680; at torney general’s office, $12,080; land commissioner's office, $26,880; state li brary, $1,800; department of banking, $6,680; board of irrigation, $10,480; fish commissioner, $2,400; sunrepta court, $33,500; district court, $224,000; home for friendless, $6,500; state nor mal at Peru, $45,060; hospital at Hast ings, $10,400; hospital at Lincoln, $10. 400; hospital at Norfolk, $8,000; state university, $270,000; Kearney indus trial school, $17,200; Geneva industrial school, $10,980; deaf and dumb insti tute at Omaha, $30,000; Beatrice insti tute, $12,400; institute for blind, $16, 000; Milford industrial home, $7,720; soldiers' home at Grand Island, $1,460; soldiers' home at Milford, $3,980.

Senator Miller’s bill, providing for stipulated sums to be paid county commissioners provides that county commissioners and county supervisors shall each be allowed for the time they shall be actually and necessarily employed in the duties of their office, the sum of $3 per day. and 5 cents per mile for each mile necessarily trav eled; provided, however, that in coun ties not having more than 5,000 in habitants their per diem shall not ex ceed 1100 per year. The vote for senator on the 1st re sulted as follows: Allen 43, Berge 6, Crounse 7, Currie 14, Dietrich 2, Har lan 3, Hainer 2, Harrington 6, Hin shaw 12, Hitchcock 39, Kinkaid 2, Martin 4, Morlan 2, Meiklejohn 33, Rosewater 15, Thompson, D. E., 38, Thompson, W. H., 15, Wethereld 2. H. C. Lindsay, private secretary to Governor Dietrich, received the fol lowing message from the governor, sent from Ridgeville, Ind. “in view of the fact that the penitentiary is nearly destroyed by fire and what re mains is in bad condition and the present location being undesirable, viewed, from other standpoints, I would favor purchasing from two to four sections of good farming land on which to construct a new penitentiary, so that convicts may be employed both in manufacturing and farming and raising sugar beets and other products. I hope no action will be taken to rebuild without giving the above proposition due consideration. ’CHARLES H. DIETRICH." The Bill Providing for Publication of Oonstitututional Amendment5!.
