LINCOLN , February 19. The legis
lature is completely demoralized. The
scones enacted m thu capital to-night
are simply indoaoribablo. The disor
der in the house during the night sou-
eion would disgrace the lowest dlvo In
Omaha. For ctro long hours a perfect
Babel roignod. Members and lobby
ists were pelting each other with paper
wads , hurling all sorts of miaalles
through the houao , whllo bills were
being road and voted on , and the cli
max was capped about 11 p. m. , when
Mr. Hcward , of Clay , moved au ad-
jonrnment , and a parfeot phower of
paper wads and booka w.vi hurled at
him , and finally some hoodlum clapped
a paper baakot ever Howard's head
and
HMOTIIEKED HIS VOTOE.
* Such n exhibition of Indecency was
was never before perpetrated in any
Nobr&aka legislature. It Is a burning
disgrace that rtfloctc , to use a mild
phrase , the utmost discredit on
Speaker Humphrey , who n In honor
and duty bound to maintain order and
/
onfojco dccornin while the house is
in session. Tliln conduct waa just
what might bo cspcctod from a body-
that has given over to jobbery and
reckless raids on the state treasury.

cipltol bill was to bo lobbied throngh

Pearman's bogus $3,000 claim for pro.
tended serviced rendered in defending
the territory against Indian 'raida
twenty years 1150 , passed the houee
this afternoon. That was followed by
the passigo of n bill appropriating
$7G,000 for the now building end fie-
, turea ct the Kearney reform aahool.
It ia currently given out that this se
cures Senator Caanor's vote for the
capltol bill. It ia incredible that Gan
Connor could compromise himself by
such a trado. The senate galleries
wece densely crowded with apectatora
and the Bonato floor
PACKED WITH LOBBYISTS
* to-cight during the dobito on the cap
ital appropriation bill. The majority' '
report , signed by Sanator Howell , of
YorJf , recommended the bill with
. ,
amendments that reduced the special
levy from one mill to thro8 < qnartors of
ono mill. Senator Reynolds presented la
minority report , giving reasons dy
the bill should not pass. Ho ed
the fact that the state ia overburdened
with tax ; that the constitutional limit
of debt is already overreached
-by more 'than $250,000 ; that
iho atato still owes $30,000
for the wiogs to the capital ou which
it pays interest and lantly he protested
against the bill ou the ground cf here
bargains that had been made in re
ceiving its passage in the house rend
that 'at least ono member ia bsliovod teat
have been bribed.
A TEttY ANGRY DISCUSSION
aroae ever thcao reports , Reynolds at
one time charged that an attempt to
} Intimidate a member of the senate by
threats was made by a prominent Lin
coln merchant. Brown , of Lancaster ,
demanded the name of the senator and
the language of the merchant. Rey
nolds said , "A leading merchant jy.of
your city , whose name I can give at
any time , threatened that I should bo
defeated for reelection If I dared to
vote for thla appropriation , " \lt. \
Canfield interposed and said ; "I have
been notified
I NEyEB SHOULD BE UKKLEOTED
if I dared to vote against it , but I am
bound to coma back , nil the satno.
The debate continued
mora than an
hour. Messrs. Daoh , Brown , of
Doughs McShano and
, Raynold opposing -
posing while Brown , of Lancaster ,
chlet spokesman waa seconded .by
Butler and Brown , of Clay. Half
a dozen votes were tiken on the
motion to Indefinitely postpone , tc
adopt the minority report and adjourn ,
Finally Ho well's majority report with
amendment * was adopted and the bill
referred to the general file , where it
will como up again for debate to-mor

dealers In Now York also ask that

.tlon the officials of the treasury re
fuse to answer in a practical way b/
