How ancient it is cannot ba known, but It was written of as old in the, eighth century, to which date, wheii Pope Paul I. re stored it, the now, uncovered remains belong for the nicst part, though there are on cne of the wa'ls traces of frescoes which are ascribed to the reign of Justinian. In the ninth cen tury the church was destroyed, it is . supposed, by an earthquake, and abandoned; and its diaconate was transferred in S47 to Sta Maria Nuova. now Sta Francesca, near the arch of Titus.

SENATE. The senate was in ses sion but a little over two nours on the 5th, but succeded in passing four curative acts and two bills, one pro v.ding for the sale of unclaimed goods b railroad companies, and the other for cutting of weeds by irrigation companies along their right of way. ' The following resolutions passed by ; the state board of agriculture asking for retention of the present law re lating to county fairs was read and referred to the committee on agricul ture: "We, the members of the. state board of agriculture; seeing the need of more general knowldge of agricul ture among the boys and girls of Ne braska, and believing that all teach--ng should be in the order, first ccn- J crete, then abstract, and that nature studies should be introduced into our county and village schools, respect fully ask the legislature to make such additional requirements for first, sec oa(j and hjni grade and state certifi- cates as will show the holder's fitness for teaching one or more studies in pure agriculture. Resolved, That it is the sense of the Nebraska state board of agriculture, in annual meet- i ing assembled at Lincoln, January, 1901, that there should be made by the state legislature such appropriations for an exhibit of the agriculture and horticulture resources of Nebraska at the Pan-American exposition, to bo held at Buffalo, as will ba commen surate with the importance of Ne braska as an agricultural district of the country." Senate file No. 103, in troduced by Currie and proposing amendments to the reform school law, was recommended for passage by the committee en reform school, and was thereupon placed on general file. SENATE The senate was In ses sion Ipss than two hours On the 1st. an adjournment being taken after the joint conference until next Tuesday at 11 o'clock. The reason for adjourn ing from Friday over until Tuesday is for the purpose of giving the vari ous committees an opportunity of ac complishing some of the work which has been accumulating because of their inability to get together often enough to keep the work up to elate. The work of the senate proper Jo well cleared up and the time r-.a most profitably be given to the committees. After roll call, prayer and the dis posal of a few bills up for second reading, Jie senate went Into com mittee of the whole for the purpose of considering bills on general file. Several were recommended for pass age. Among measures considered by the committee was senate file. 61, a bill by Van Boskirk of Box Butte, the object- of which Is to protect live stock from and prevent the spread of infectious and contagious diseases. The bill provides that the governor shi:l appoint a secretary, who shall be a competent veterinary surgeon, who shall be known as the state vet erinarian, and who shall receive $2 500 per annum and actual. traveling expenses incurred by him In the dis charge of his duties, and further pro vides for the appointment of deputies, who shall receive $5 per day while actually engaged. The duties of these officers are also set forth. The com mittee will sit again. But one bill was introduced. The senate adjourn ed until Tuesday. SENATE. A flood of debate deluged the senate on the 31st for an hour and a halt Martin, Ransom, Currie, Mil ler, Oleson, Lyman, Harlan and O'Neill all expressed themselves on :he subject of repealing the state bar kers' law. The measure was placed on third reading and Senator Currie moved that it be recomm.tted. This was done by a vote of 18 to, 12 after lengthy discussion. Senate file No. 29. empowering county beards to decide whether or not county fairs shall be held, was recommended for passage. Senate files Nos. 6, 8 and 9 were also recommended for passage in commit tee of the whole. They are curative acts introduced by Senator Young, benate file No. 13, another oy Young, was tabled to be considered at some future time. It is an amendment to the game laws of the slate. The extent of the demand for a constitutional I convention was a subject oh which senators possessed a wide divergence of opinions this mornings Senator Oleson's bill to provide a method for electors to express themselves at the next general election for members of the legislature was considered in com mittee, of the whole, and iBdeiniU postponement recommendGd.- THANkS TO VOLUNTEER Folowing is the full text of bouse roll 291,-introduced by Representative Evans of Lincoln county: "Joint resolution of thanks to the officers and men of the Nebraska vol unteers in the war with Spain, th Philippines and in China.

The house committee on Insurance decided by unanimous vote to recom ment indefinite postponement of house roll No. 90. This was the bill drafted and recommended by the Ne braska fraternal congress and intro duced by Representative Lane. On motion of Attorney General Prout, the suits of the state against the Missouri Pacific and Rock Island railroads for alleged violations of the maximum freight rate law were con tinued by the supreme court until such time as he could satisfy himself as to the exact limitations of the fed eral court injunction of 1S93. Senator Zeigler of Cedar county has prepared a bill which has for its ob ject the repeal of that section of the road law which allows 75 per cent of the land road tax to be paid in labor, the law being amended so that the land tax wiu all be paid in cash, leaving taxpayers the privilege of working out their poll tax only. Un der the present law the taxpayer is allowed to work out his poll tax and 75 per cent of his land tax, which leaves the amountofroad tax paid in cash so small that there is never any money to sepak of In the road fund. An act creating a landlord's lien and providing for its enforcement is the object of a bill which will soon be introduced by Senator Ransom of Douglas. The bill provides that a landlord shall have a lien for his rent upon all crops growing upon the leas ed premises and upon any other per sonal property of the tenant which has been used or kept thereon dur ing the term and not exempt of ex ecution for the period of one year after a year's rent, or the rent of a shorter period, falls due, but such lien shall not in any case continue more than six months after the expiration of said term. Senator Cummins has introduced a bill, which, if passed, will create a new appointive office, that of state prosecutor. This official is to be ap pointed by the governor. He is to furnish a 15.030 bond, and to draw a salary of $1,500 a year, and hz shall nave all necessary and reasonable ex penses paid in addition. It shall be his duty to investigate all fires sup posed to haev been cf incendiary origin, and, in fact, to investigate everything of a criminal nature he be lieves to exist in the state. The house committee en plumbers and plumbing decided to report fa vorably on Uhl's bill, which provides for the creation of plumbers' commis sions in towns of 25,000 population or over. The measure is intended for ,the protection of plumbers and to this end provides for the issuance of li censes to candidates who meet the requirements prescribed. With the signature of the governor affixed, the lawn knowm as house roll. 88, relating to the method of draw ing juries, goes on the statute book, and as it has an emergency clause it becomes of immediate effect To all intents and purposes, and probably so far as the legislators who passed it know, the act Is simply curative, cor recting the wording so as to .make it apply to Lancaster county undfer the new census, which has reduced its population below the limit of 70,000. The really important part of. the measure, however, is that It works a complete change in the system of drawing grand juries, not only in Lancaster, but in Douglas county as well, by putting them on the same footing with petit juries. Senator. Baldrige's bill providing for the appointment of nine commis sioners by the supreme court for as sistance of the court, has been recom mended for passage. These commis sioners are to be appointed by the court by unanimous vote, and their offices are to continue for two years, unless the appointments are .with drawn in less time by unanimous vote of the court Each is. to receive a salary of $2,500 per annum.

BccensidflnBp TALK OF TIE IECAIL OF MILNEfi Table Ceafertare with Literal H4t la Caateaplatlea The Stor ;fc . Dealed--The Xoathalcee of trtealal Secretary. LONDON. Feb. 9. Public atfeniiori has again turned to South' Africa by t6 dispatch of reinforcements and the publication of Lord Roberts' mail dispatches. Rumors have, been la circulation that Mr. Chamberlain has reconsid ered his South African policy and was contemplating a round-table confer ence with Mr. John. Morley-and Sir William Harcourt and the recall of Sif Alfred Milner. The Daily Mail says It is able to assert, on Mr. Cham berlain's authority, that the story is a fabrication and that the government retains tne most absolute confidence in Sir Alfred Milner. "Mr. Chamber lain flatly denies," says the . Mail, "that he has had any communication with any member of the opposition on the subject of the war." Lord Roberts' dispatches are not regarded as giving any further elu cidation of the conduct of the war, but they are interesting, as proving that throughout the campaign he nev er had sufficient men, horses or sup plies to cover such a vast field of op eration. Lord Roberts asserts deliberately that the permanent tranquillity of the republic "depends on the complete disarmament of the inhabitants, a task difficult, I admit, but attainable with time and patience." Looking at all the circumstances.' Lord Roberts says the campaign is "unique in the annals of war" and he pays the highest tribute to the gal lantry and worth of the troops, de claring that "no finer farce ever took the fleld under the British flag." There is a general idea that the dispatches have suffered considerable excision at the hands of the war office. Thev do not throw anv further light on the summary retirement of Gen eral Colville or any other matters rc gnring which the public is anxious to hear. The appearance cf bubonic plague at Capetown seems likely to add to the difficulties of the situation. The authorities there have decided upon a wholesale extermination of rats. Should the diseaes spread It will ne cessitate changes in the military ar rangements. Today Sir Alfred Milner makes an other earnest appeal to employers to allow as many sr-en as possible to enroil in the colonial mounted defense foroe. From Delagoa Bay it is reported that the British have occupied Er melo and Carolina, which until re cently were Boer depots. The Boers held up a Natal mall train near Vlakfontein. The few soldiers--on bord exhausted their cart rldees nnd the Roers thea robbed the passengers, afterward allowing the trai nto proceed. OUTLINING THF KING'S SPETH.

WILL OrrOSE SENATE BILL Repablleaas Dlseasa War Korean Asteadmrnta. WASHINGTON, Feb. 8. The repub lican members of the ways and means committee met this afternoon to for mulate a plan of action relative to the war revenue bill, but no definite con clusion was reached w?yond thu deci sion to nonconcur in the senate amendments. The action of the senate in substi tuting an entirely new bill for the bill as It passed the house, is looked upon a3 a distinct invasion of the prerogative of the house to initiate revenue legislation and afthc meet ing 'today some of the members fa vored radical action to spstain what they consider the constitutional rights of the house to originate revenue leg islation. The plan wa3 to ignore the bill in Its present form and to pass another entirely new revenue bill. But this was regarded as entirely too radical. Another proposition, and the oac that met with most favcr, was to re port back the bill to the house tomor row with a recommendation cf non concurrence, but without a request for a conference. This would require the senate to ask for a conference if any was to be held. NO MORE ArTOINTliJENTS. Walt AwsUlo for' Craatloa of a Vacancy In tho Ist of General) WASHINGTON. Feb. 8. It is said at the war office that no more general officers of the army will be appointed until the senate has acted on those sent in on Tuesday. One reason is that there will be no vacancy in the list of generals unless General Miles is confirmed in the higher rank. Un less a vacancy occurs in that manner, it is predicted that it- will be filled by the appointment of Colonel C. Bates, who was yesterday nominated a brieadier eeneral. Such an ap pointment would prevent the appoint ment of Brigadier General Wade or Merriam to a major generalship for some time. Under the present plan Brigadier General Schwan, nominated yesterday, will be retired immediately after his confirmation, and Colonel Daggett of the Fourteenth Infantry will be ap pointed to the vacancy.

(Spe cial.! The Presidents of the Ladies of the Grand Army of the Republic hava an association composed exclusively of the Presidents of the different Stat Associations. This Presidents' Asso ciation chooses a President, and tothi: very high and distinguished position Mrs. Mary E. Poole of this plce has been elected. Mrs. Poole is thoroagh.y deserving of this great honor. Her devotion to the interests of the Asso ciation is very marked, and her experi ence with the old soldiers of the G. A. R. is wide. Mrs. Pcole is never slaw to take advantage of anything that may benefit the veterans, and her S2al has resulted in much that is good to these grand old men. She writes oC her experiences: "Honor to waom honor Is due, and having sacn the nu merous cures effected through the usq of Dodd's Kidney Pills, I gladly en dorse them as being particularly ef fective to cure that dreaded disease o so many of our old soldiers, Bright's Disease and Kidney Disorders of dif ferent kind?-. Kidney Disease soon poisons the entire system, and as a re sult the vital organs are attacked, and I have found that no remedy so surely. completely and quickly finds tha weak spot and heals it as Dodd's Kidney Pills. "I have used them myself in slight attacks of biliousness and indigestion, and usually find that from three to four pills do the work." Such evidence from a lady of so much distinction and experlenc2 should convince any sufferer from Kid ney Trouble that Dodd's Kidney Pills is the remedy that never fails. 50c a box, six boxes for $2.50.

Konor to Shorn Iloaor la Ilasw The railroads have ben greatly bused as soulless corporations that were grinding the life blood out of the people. The great Galveston disaster has, however, revealed the fact that the managers of these corporations have hearts which are susceptible of being touched by the cries of distress. Their trains were piaced at the dis posal of all those engaged hi relief work on the coast. Provisions and supplies were carried forward free of charge, committees from every sec tion of the state were furnished trans portation, and when the refugees from Galveston began to pour into Houston and it became a serious question what was to be done with them the railroads solved the problem by furnishing transportation without charge to all who wished to leave and to any point they wished to go. Grand Master An derson informs us that but for this fact Houston would have been overrun with people who had to be cared for, and that suffering and distress would ,have been largely increased as well as the cost of meeting conditions which would have prevailed. Bro. Anderson desires us, through these columns, to thank the different roads for the great service rendered his committee at Houston. If it were possible we would be glad to see parallel columns, in one of which should appear the acts of these railroad corporations in a time of great calamity and distress, and in the other the amount contributed by the little two-by-four demagogues who are always trying to array the preju dices of the masses against any and every kind of enterprise.
