LINCOLN , January 29. Ono of the
things that , is among the possibilities
at the capital is a thorough iuvesUga-
tlon Into the manner of conducting the
state asylum for the insane. It Is un.
derstood that a resolution will bo In-
traduced Into the senate at an early
day looking toward this end. Some
of the members of the house are also
disposed to find fault with Speaker
Humphrey for appointing so many
persona to draw pay , who have virtu
ally no labor to perform outside of
signing the pay roll.
TOWNS AT 11AILROAD CROSSINGS.
A largo nnmber of Ncrnaha county
citizens are hero watching the progress
of a senate bill which provides that
when railroads L cross each other a de
pot shall be maintained. This bill
particularly interests the citizens of
Nomaha for the reason that in that
connty they have a crossing of this
kind where no depot Is kept up , and
Church Howe's town , which is located
lomo two or throe miles from that
point , would suffer if the people were
accommodated to that extent. The
bill is now before the senate judiciary
commlttoo and whether It is reported
favorably or not the Indications are
that It will pass. Senator Fisher
from Nomaha is strongly in favor of
the bill , not so much on account of its
local significance as because of its
general utility , and there are very
few mon In the state who will disagree
with him on this point.
WIOOHK3S OK LEGISLATION.
Those who pretend to know toll us
that notwithstanding the oenatorlal
contoat this legislature is making rapid
progress. The committees are all at
work and the prospect Is that they
will pass laws enough even if they are
not all of the right kind. Railroad
legislation is the only class that Is slow
in coming to the front , but this Is ex
plained because of the change of front
necessitated by the opinion of the su
preme oonrt on the railroad commii-
slon question.
SABBATH QUIET.
Yesterday Lincoln hotels reminded
JDnp of summer resort in , winter
time. Everybody , members , lobbyists
and ftll wont home or to Omaha and
the senatorial buzzing and scheming
was entirely suspended. Of the very
few who remained many of them wont
to chntch , just to eee how it would
sound to hoar somethir g besides the
planning and figuring that goes to
make a United States senator. There
Is a variety of opinion amen
oven republicans over the re
sult of the republican caucus , Some
seem to think that a nomination will
bo made during the next twenty-four
hours and some are of the opinion
that they will be found balloting a
week hence , while still another class
think It not at all improbable that
they will break up In a row ,
The Mlllard men are confident of
success. They claim to have a num
ber of votes placed around on different
candidates who will take advantsgo of
the secret ballot and como to him
when their votes will nominate. On
the ether hand , the autl-Millard folks
expect to form a ring Inside of a ring
and nnlto upon one of the other can
didates as a last resort. If anyone is
nominated to-night , which is not at
all probable , it will be Millard ,
THE NEW IlEQENT.

pointment of Mr. Merritt Is looked

people of the state and friends of the

personal beauty , but for hia good
sense and practical ideas. His com
mission was made out and presented
to him to-day.

spirators against the government
were the republicans themselves.
Fabro claimed the liberty for the re-
publb to take legitimate measures in
Its own defense. Robot could not
agree to exceptional measures. T3.3

on its attitude. The only danger to
the republic was the perpetual crisis

of republican institutions. It behoved

lic by a temperate and tranqailizlni ;
course. Floquet said his object waste
to protect the republic , threatened by
pretensions that began to have an

Ing hour. A largo number of nomin
ations were confirmed.
The senate appropriations commit
tee completed the army bill to-day ,
adding ? 800,000 to the amount ap
propriated by the houio bill.
The doom opened shortly after 12
when consideration of the tariff bill
was resumed.
On motion of Senator Allison the
rate on stool not specially enumerated
was changed from three cents per
pound to thirty nor cent , advalorom.
The duty on nickel ore in any form
was reduced from twenty cents per
pound to fifteen.
The paragraph embracing zlno being -
ing reached , Senator Vest declared
that while ho bollovod in tariff for rev
enue , ho also believed that Inside the
limits of the tariff for revenue protec
tion incidental to every tariff should
bo given Infant Industries. This ho
regarded as good democratic doctrine ,
The zlno production was an Infant in
dustry , la which the people of
hit state were largely in
terested , Ho would therefore
do all in his power to secure for It
such protection within the limits indi
cated. IIo would not blame any
other senator for doing likewise for
the Industries of his s'ato.
Senator Conger welcomed Senator
Vest to the ranks of those who fav
ored protection of American industry.
Senator Bayard regretted Senator
Vest's avowal. Ho would not'bo In-
tluoncod by local considerations in
dealing with the tariff question.

HOUtiE niOOEEPIMOS.
WASHINGTON , January 29. In the
house , undnr n call of the states , n
number of bills were introduced and
referred , also a number of privileged
reports were submitted. Among the
latter was ono by Belmont ( N. Y. )
from the foreign affairs , being his own
minority opinion regarding the joint
resolution recently reported to the
house by the committee , providing ,
conditionally , for the termination ot
the treaty between the United States
and the Hawaiian government.
'Bolmont takes the ground that there
are grave objections to the Interfer
ence of congress with the treaty mak
ing power. Ho reviews the proceed
ings bi fore the house committee , show
ing the evils complained of in connec
tion with the treaty are not duo to its
defect but to the fact that consular and
customs officers administering law
have boon incompetent to corrupt. He
says the evidence goes to show that
under this treaty there has boon per
petrated ono of the most colossal frauds
against the revenue of the United
States government.
In conclusion Belmont submitted a
resolution authorizing tbo president
to Institute an Immediate inquiry re
specting the alleged frauds and report
the result to congress , Ho suggests
that a notice to King Hawailanist re
specting the wish of the United States
to termlnato the treaty bo withheld
till the president responds to the reso
lution of inqulrys.
{ At 12:10 : the house , in committee of
the whole , resumed consideration of
the tariff bill. The section giving the
president power to declare inoperative
the lection prohibiting the Importa
tion , of neat cattle was amended to
provide that the president may declare
the prohibition provisions inoperative
daring hia pleasure.
The section which provides that no
ratchej or parts of watch movements
which simulate the name or trade
mark of any domestlo manufactory ,
shall bo admitted to entry unless the
domestic manufacturer is an importer ,
was extended tn all other articles.
Mr. White , ( Ky , ) , offered an amend
ment providing that upon re-Importa
tion of articles once the growth , prod
uct or manufacture of the United
States upon which no Internal tax has
been asaoasod or paid , there shall bo
luvied , collected and paid a duty
double ( instead of equal as provided
by the bill ) to the tax imposed by the
internal rovonno laws upon such arti
cles. Ho said the provision of the
bill was an attempt which went far to
convince him that tlioro seemed to bo
some sort of understanding between
some special tariff men and some
special whisky men , which was doing
no benefit to this country and a good
deal loss to the republican party. The
bonded extension bill has boon slip
ped through the house in a method
llhiah was lu famous.
Mr. bntterworth said ho represent
ed In part with other gentlemen the
interest which paid into the treasury
one hundred million dollars , which was
now absolutely prostrated. [ Several
Republicans : "Good , , good"J You
did not say "good , ' retorted Mr. But-
torworth , when it paid your soldiers
while they fought your catties , You
did not y "good" when It put the
bandages around your wounded sold
iers. You did not s y "good" when
it paid the pensions of widows and or
phans. I have boon earnest in help
ing the industries of New Ealandand

merce , our merchants , our grocers

of the diiUlUug industry. Wo cannot

Mr. White When did they ask for
three hours ] They slipped the bill
through under suspension of the rules ,
without debate , and without my being
ablft to got the yean and nays.
The Chair The gentleman Is not
in order.
Buttorworth Ho hardly over is.
want the house at a very early day to
consider the claims of a great Industry ,
which is now prostrated and which , if
relief is not granted , will probably in
its own destruction drag down many
protected industries.
Mr. Rood ( Me. ) mid ho had heard
three times before precisely this dis
course about the danger which wan to
como from refusing distillers' demands.
If they were successful this time ho
would expect to hear it just once
more ; that was on a demand to repeal
the whisky tax. [ Applause on the re
publican shin. ]
Mr. Jackson submitted that as long
as the house recognized whisky as
property burdened with tax three
hundred per cent , of Its actual value ,
it was not only fair but wise to treat
whlaky interest with common decency.
Ho was opposed to abolishing the tax
on whisky and tobacco , but he would
have congress deal fairly by them to
enable them to pay the tax. He
wonld have free salt , free sugar , free
tea , and free coffao , Instead of free
coffco only. ( Applause on the demo
cratic side ) .
Mr. White's amendment was lost

The Tnylorvillo OutrAge Miss

Special Dispatch to Tim llitic.
TAYLOKVILLE , 111. , January 29.
The condition of Miss Emma Bond ,
the victim of the brutal outrage last
summer , Is very critical. She la bo-
liovcd to bo at the point of death.
The condition of Emma Bond grows
moro critical each day , and she is now
lying at the point of death at her
brother's house , just east of this
placa. The terrible spasm into which
oho pasties every twenty hours have
about absorbed her vitality , and her
death is looked for at any moment.
The Buffering of Miss Bond since Juno
30th last , has boon simply horrible ,
and physicians express great
surprise at her continued cling
ing to life. Miss Bond
realizes her condition and is resigned
to doath. While the excitement over
the Bond case has apparently died out ,
there Is a strong under current of
fooling against Vermillion , Montgom
ery , Pottus and Olomonti , In event
of Miss Bond's death the throa latter
named , now out on ball , will bo ar
rested , charged with murder , and very
likely the Lower Hill vigilance
committee will save the county
further expense of trial. Col
onel Bond , father of Emma ,
claims to bo possessed of important
icfiirmatlon bearing on the guilt
of the accused , but ho refuses to
make it known until the trial on the
change of vonno at Uillnboro , Mont
gomery county , April 22. The homes
of Montgomery and Pottus have been
transformed into arsenals and someone
ono member of each family la con
stantly on guard , armed with Win
chester rifles.
John Montgomery is defiant , Ho
declares ho will kill the firat man at
tempting io enter his homo. It is be
lieved hero that an organization exists
for lynching of the accused in caao
Miss Bond dies , or Montgomery
county's circuit court falls to convict.
A close watch in kept on all parties
sconced and any attempt on their part
to leave Christian county would bo a
signal for violence.
