KK > 'ATE MOIININU HKHblON.
LINCOLN , January 20. The first
occurrence after the reading and ap
proval of the journal was the signing
by the president of billo , homo rol
No. 01 and No. 91 , to provide for thi
expense of the present Botelon.
Somu of the cltizjns of Johnsoi
county dijtlngulehod themselves by
Bonding up n petition nskint ; that al
appropriations in favor of educations
iuatitutlons above the grade cf com'
mon ichnoh should bo withheld. Ii
was referred to the committee on edu <
cation.
The transfer cf lot No. 0 , In the city
of'L'ncoln ' , to the Colored Haptis
churcb , was repotted favorably.
A rpiolutlon citlling on the aelcc
railroad committco of the donate to go
on with their work , Independently of
the committco cf the house , was
objected toby Drown , of Clay ,
Mr. Brown resented very warmly
what ho regarded EH a discourtesy ,
since , as n member cf that c imralttee ,
ho had not boon consulted respecting
the resolution ,
Mr. Ibynolda denied any intention
to ba discourteous , nd if any apology
on his part tfsa cccctsary ho v.as rro-
pared , mike it.
Mr. Brown , of Lincwtor , crill-
ciaed the resolution , aud a long dig-
cuaion ontucd between him and Mr.
Iloynolda aa to the proper course to
be taken to ercuro the co-operation if
the house committee.
A motion to ruspcnd the rules and
pussiho resolution was made.
Mr. Connor criticised the reso
lution as an act of dlscDnrtesy and
Injaarieo to the committees of the
horuo.
The motion to ; anspond waa lost ,
two thirds not voting tn .ho Dllirma-
tho.
tho.Mr.
Mr. Butler put on his resolution on
papers aud stamps , and placed the
number at six each. By a vote cf
24 to 9 the resolution was laid on the
table.
A propoecd amendment to the con
stitution relating to railroads was road
St thn first time.
Several bills , to amend existing
statutes , woto read , to which more
apace will bo devoted when they coinc
up for consideration.
On returning from the joint con
vention a ( liscuction aroeo on the
qnpstiou of ad j nirntiumt. Somu were
in f. vorof adjourning until Monday
in spite of tlu < resolution to meet in
joint convention. Brown , of Ltnca.-
tor , reflated adjournment on the
ground that whatever their opuon ! | on
the law , it is safer to obey the com
mon interpretation , and give no cauio
to call In question the validity < C their
ajtiou.
A motion was madn yesterday to
adjourn till Monday , and was ruled
out of order and the chair waa sus
tained. To-day the motion was re
peated , and a long and warm dispute
arose as to the right of the
chair to rule such a motion
out of order. What motive
loads to these vexations mottono ia net
apparent , but it gave Senators Brown
aud Kincaid a good opportunity to
sustaiu the law of congress , the ordi
nary lavfB of public bodies and the
rules of order which govern thu sen
ate. Mr. Kincaid made a good point ,
that whatever importance members
might attach to the rules of order of
tlio senate , they worn but temporary
and subsidiary the law of the atalo ,
and the lair of congress was eupromu
and enduring and controlled their ac
tion absolutely in this respect Tno
decision of the chair WAS sustained by a
votoff 22 to 11 , and the senatead -
journud to meet at 3 o'clock.
SENATE--ArTKKNOON HEKjION.
LINCCLV , January 25. On motion
of Mr. McShauo , sonata bill No , 1
was taken up and road n third time
nd passed.
The joint resolution and memorial
o the legislatures if the atatca of
Ciusas and Colorado aud to the con-
resu of the United States , in favor of
ailroad legislation , being NOD. 3 , 4
nd 7 of the senate file , were read a
liird time nnd passed.
On motion the eonato went into
ommittee of the whole , with Brown ,
f Lancaster , in the chair.
Senate lilu No. 8 was thontaken np ,
onmiencing with section 8
Brown , of Douglas , moved that sec-
ion 8 providing fjr u commission , ba
trlcketi out.
Mr. Doch moved that when the
Committee arise , the indefinite post
ponemout of the bill should bo rcc
mmouded.
Brown , of Douglas , sustained his
motion , by a nfjronco to the fict
hat an opinion had been obtained
rjm the cuprorne court of this state ,
hat the creation of such a commission
aa is contemplated by the bill , la un-
Qnatitutlonal.
Mr. Butler hoped neither motion
would prevail. Ho denied the charge
hat It waa a railroad bill. No rail
road man had ever aeon it before its
irosontatlon to tha oenato. As to the
pinion cf the supreme court , ho did
lot euro for it more than for tlio opin
oncf a juatico of the peace In the ro
noteat part of the state. Ho had
> eon attacked by. an anti-monopoly
> aper , but ho did not Intend to upend
any more time in noticing such per
ona. Ho had framed his bill on the
'llinoia plan , and had prepared aomo
amendments in view of the recent de
cislon cf the cupromo court.
Mr. Schocnhiit thongh't if they hade
o dispense with the crmiiiasloner
iVatom , all their legislation on rail
roads would provo a farce. Ho though !
ho action of the houao in aaking for
an opinion on this subject , without
, he action of the senate , very irregu
r , to Bay the least of it. Ho could
see nothing unconstitutional in such a
commission , for hla pirt. A flippant
dismissal of the matter , in his opinion ,
would bo wrong.
Brown of LiLcister invited Brown
of Clay to the chair , while he gave hla
views upon the question before the
lonato. Ho thought before postpon
ing thU matter , or referring the bil
back to the committee , it waa proper
to know the ctneudraontu prepared bj
Iho author in order to moot the opin
ion of the supreme court. As to thu
constitutionality of a commission , ho
liad not had time to look into the
question , but ho had high respect for
the gentlemen composing that court
aud their opinion , They had been
selected by the people to fill the
places they held , so it was of no use
to talk of treating their decision OB of
no account.
Mr. Harrison was In favor of hav
ing the decision of the court before the
conato , Instead of trusting to otrect
ruinora :
Mr. Connor was opposed to the re
commitment of the bill. It must
finally como to the senate , and it waa
now hero and might bo disposed of.
Mr , Sowota thought it would bo
right , at any rate , to listen to the
amendments prepared by the author
in view of the recant action of the
court.
Brown , of Dou-jlai , then withdrew
his motion , in order that the amend
ments might ba rjad. The first
amendment makes it the duly of tbo
secretory cf Btnte , state treasurer and
attorney general to act UB cominiecion-
era. The amendment was approved.
An amundmunt to r.octlon 10 wai then
offdrod by Mr. Bailer for the appoint
ment cf < \ EI Tntary of the board at a
aalary if 8.000per nnncm.
Mr. MtStiaue wanted the appoint
ment of a necratsry to be the concur
rent action of the am > ate and houao in
jnint convention. ThU propooal met
the vidws of inemburn penorally and
the aiaondmont waa BO amended und
.
The motion to loaimmit the bill t
the committee on railroads was the
moved und curried , and when th

ton ppucinl says tlio luiprcntion is go
Ing abroad that Claus Sprockets , the
S m Frnncieoo sugur king , If ho can
not prevent the abrogation of the Ha
waiian treaty , intends tn make the ef
fort to huvu the H.itralian islands un
mixed to the United States , In 1875 ,
when the Hawaiian treaty was nego
tiated , this project wns urged with a
great deal ot forco. Sprockets , if ob
jections are urged on the part of Hawaiians -
waiians , has means in his power to remove -
move thu objections. He ojuld with
advantage to his own interest , pnalon
the royal inmily. His reaooroes are
such that ho could readily aflord to
pay the king far more than the reve
nues of the Islands yield him. Quito
a number t f senators were askeil to
day what their individual viowa were
with rrgird to the annexation scheme ,
and what kind of reception such a
Bohomo would meet at thu hands of the
American people.
Senator Ingalla anld that ho was In
favor of annexation , but not in that
direction. Ho thought the United
States ought to extend from the north
polo to the point where the canal ,
which ia to utiito the two oceans , ia to
bo. lie did not believe , however , lu
reaching out after colonies In the At
lantic or Pacific ocean. In fact ho
did not want any colonies.
Sonktor Kollccg did not ballovo
there was much In the olauao < > (
Sprockets' talk about annexation. Ho
did not think Hawaii would bo any
bonetU to the United States in any
way.
Senator Jonaawas to
-was opposed an
nexation for tha ronaou that it would
interfere with our angar industry in
Louisiana The aamo argument , hii
said , waa uocd to bring about the ab
rogation of the Louisiana treaty , tha.t
was annexation.
Senator Logan aald ho did not favor
it , nnd did not boIlovQ ttlO
would.
Mr , Mjjxey baid that , Independently
ot commercial reasons , the Hawailui
Islands would bo a valuable acqulsl
tlon from a political standpoint. The ;
are , ho nald , on the shortest route bu
twoon this country and China and Ja
pan , and on the shortos route by
of the Suez canal between Eiuopaam
east and the Pacific ooant. In CUBO o
war , the inlands would bo Invaluabl
as a naval elation. Ilo Bald , while hi
did not believe in acquiring territory
BO far from the mainland , ho woul <
probably favor the annexation echomo
tf the opportunity presented itself.
Mr. Udorgo declared ho wailnfavo
of getting control of all the territory
within our reach. Ho believed in on
nnxlng Cuba nnd Hay tf ; in fact , all th
West Indies , and all the territory
eoutli cf the United States as far a
iho isthmus. Ho wautod ua gulf to
bo regarded D.I the great American
lake. Ho would , if ho had his
about It , get possession of the rial
Central American atatos and colonizi
the ncgrcoa of the South thero. Hi
thought the climate would exactly out
