In the senate the emergency clause was stricken out and Mr. Watson was at band Immediately on its passage , having it called up In the house and passed with this amendment. It now goes to the governor. This bill removes a deal of cost and labor on the pait of attorneys and litigants in going up with cases to the court , and entails extra work upon the judges.

Fuller , Burn- ham and Moore lefralnlng trom voting. The charge of dodging was freely made , and a long debate lollowed , Mr. Fuller finally re- cordlnc his vote.

The committee on judiciary have handed In their report lecommending the passage of the anti-gambling bill to the speaker ot the house , but thus far business has prevented the reading ot the same. It was thought that the bill would be reached to-day , and was so expected by members of the committee , but they were disappointed. Notwithstanding , several representatives of the gambling In terests of Omaha , Lincoln and other places were on the floor , and It is not unlikely that they will bo able to induce some members to speak against the bill. The joint conference committee of the sen ate and house on the Omaha charter met this evening. The sonata was represented by Messrs. Llnlnger , Bobbing , Duras , Conger and Snell , and the house by Messrs. Bussell , Ballard , Smyth , Sweet and I'emberton. The amendments made In the house were dis cussed , but no action had been taken up to the time of adjournment The impression prevails that few if any chances made by the house will be altered.

Ued-covcicd chilis were placed In a seini-clrclo In front of six chalts a little dllTcrcnl from the rest , destined to be occupied by the six reigning sovereigns. At S o'clock them entered the anxious court chambeilaln with a tioop of gold-liveried servants to complete the linal arrangement. Half an hour later ladles In low necked aiesses with short sleeves began to appear and stood gossipplng in the main aisle while soils weio being allotted to them by the chamberlain strictly according to their rank. Fhst come , first served , did not apply In their case as the first comers it they were of the lowest rank , cot ba.uk seats. Finally came the minor rlnces of Germany who are usually seated i the same low as the Imperial family , but ast night by reason of higher titles present , icy were consigned to the third and fourth OVN& . Then the embassadors appeared and nlkcd awhile to the ladies at the back of hem. They took their places in the thtid ow from the stage. From the left entered ho empress , who , unable to walk far , leaned eavlly , even for the short distance she hade o cross , on the arm of her eldest grandson , ilnce William.

The curtain then went up on a tableau of an episode In the life of Charles V. Three times this tableau was .shown and then the electric leht Hashed again. A thread of wax was lighted , the flames leaped from candle to candle.and in a moment hundreds ot candles In the big glass chandeliers were allamc , ihanglng the room by the reflection of many ciystal pendants , from Its Ordinary appear ance to an extraordinary pretty salon. Vol lowing this came selections from "Tann- hauser , " led by Nlemenn , known , I think , in New York German opera. There was also a selection from "Don U.ulos.

Other royal ties walked atout the loom shaking band ? . Finally came a scene trom "Don Juan , " fol lowed by a ballet by some of the linest dan cers In Germany. Then there was r formal exit to supper. Last of all came the drive home , while the crowd , which had waited outside all the evening , cheered the old kaiser as he went back to the palaco. 1 was a pretty scene , worthy as an ending to what ono paper calls , "Tho celebration ot the world's peace. " TIIK WORLD OUTSIDE. Rain began to fall late In the afternoon. This was an unexpected ending to the morn Ing's beautiful weather. However , it did not rain hard , and uover.stopped the masses o piomenaders for a moment licensed before dark , so that it did not stop the Illumination. The cenural etfect of the illumination throughout the city was magnificent. The great four-story blocks of buildings had every window brilliant with light. On tlio lower streets weie large flaming designs o crowns , olive branches and pictures of the emperor. The bebt eftect I saw was on a the crown inlnco's palace , whlcl : was literally bathed In lionga ! lights. From one tall cluiicl tower red flames reflected down so as to out line the whole tower and light up part of the city. The Hoyal museum and the Natlona' gallery were also most artistically lighted seas as tn turn both the buildings apparently Into solid masses of white marble with the shad ows planned as to develop to the best advan tasesall the line points of their Grecian ar- cliltectuie. The Illumination of the princi pal Catholic churches caused much comment as Clew of the Protestant churches were lighted up. All the evening the stieets wcro densely crowded with sight seers In carilages and on foot. To show how universal was the Illumination It will do to say that the small boys paraded the street with lighted candles insldo oiled piper transparencies. All tha lighting began suddenly at 7:30 : , just as the Eiiests were beginning to think of go ing to the castle receptlon.and ended shai ply at 11 o'clock. INSIDE TIIK PALACn only the princess and a few of such special messengers as the pope's messenger , were allowed by the physicians to personally con gratulate the kaiser. The remainder of the Kreat personages , including the embassadors paid their respects at the castle In the even ing. The empress received with the em peror. She was dressed In a dove colored silk. The crown princess wore a dress of a somewhat lighter shade of the same color. The necessity of economizing the kaiser's strength made the congratulations .short. Among the presents given was ono fiom the crown princess of Sweden , a picture of the emperor's great grand children , Prlnco William gave a pastel picture of his elder boy. The emperor's only daughter , tlio giand duchess of Uadi > ugave a clock adorned with statuettes of u e ercr1 ! urn KII grand children. After the ompcror had re ceived the prince's congratulations , came the bethrothal of the Princess Urcuo of Hessp , bv the emperor , who himself joined her hand In the presence of the whole company to that of his grandson , Prlnco llenrr of Prussia. Outside the palico ( tlio police made an at tempt to clear a sp.ico for a carriage way. The crowd thus became so com pact that as 1 stood beside the Honors around the base of the Frederick statue I could not move a hand for several minutes. Nearly the whole of this ciowd had been standing thcro for four hours , but no ono moved away until the last prince , the last gilded state carriage , had gone , and the kaiser , who cam ? to the \ \ In- dow , had announced by a wave of his hand that the lecoptlon was over. As ho stood there for a few moments the gmrd marched ptst with a full band playing , the mounted otllcers riding to and fro with clanking swords and spins. A state c.uriago occa sionally moved solemnly along , and a mounted policeman chafed a boy who had broken throinh the police lines. All these llttlo incidents helped to toun a very lively and a very pretty plc- tuio. At one time there passed Prince Bismarck - marck and Count Von Moltke , who had re ceived , It was rumored , some special mark of the kaiser's trust. Opposite , meanwhile , tn the unlveisity , went on the solemn thanks- gllvng service , attended by all llerliu's learned men. The gray-haired historian , Momssen , joined his colleagues In giving thanks for the empcroi's life. Further down the Unter dcr Linden the students were holding their final drinking festival , carried over In many cases trom last night's "Kaiser Kommers. " A little later began almost an Innumerable number of private celebra tions of the day. One man gave a dinner to worn out soldiers , at which there were special drinking cciemonles. Ono restaurant gave a copy of the kaNer's picture to each customer. Nearly every club or union in the city had a dinner tor the pur pose of formally drinking the emperor's health. Undoubtedly ono of the proudest men In Berlin was the cmperof s doctor , who received 150,000 marks on the emperor's eightieth blitliday , and rumor sajs has re ceived 300,000 marks fiom the omperofs iiirso because tlio physician thinks the alser may live to bo 100. Ono wonders vhat ho will then get. rAe INI : > S or TIII : CCI.KUHATIOX. This has been a day ol candle ends and lipplni : flags. The appearance ot the street ias not been improved by the wet , strlngy- ooklng buntlnz nor the houses and stores iy the lemnautsof c.mdle stumps which re- naln from last night's illumination. Kven ho busts of the imperial family still In he windows look much demoralised by their association with laded flowers and other emnants of yesterday. The festivities con- inuo in a lesser degree. The empress rc- : eived several visits from the various princes o-day , and theiowas also a family dinner of Ighty poisons at the palace , alter which all ivent to sco a grand ballot at the opera house. Hut theie were nogieat crowds o watch and cheer them as they passed , nor was any great Interest shown by the public generally. Yesterday was the grand climax. To-day's soslal events wore n the nature of echoes. The public are In- lined to think well of the crown prlnco of Austria , who left Beilln this morning. For several davs to come there will bo dinners , balls , etc. , amone the visiting princes , but nothing of an unusual natuioor of the slight est Interest to Americans will take place. Two subjects are being very gencially ncntloncd in the papers and In private con versation , the lirst , the very remarkable way n which the kaiser stands the continued ex ertion of the last few days , which inlu'ht well have exhausted a man of sixty , but has not exhausted this old man of ninety. The second Is the peaceful tone of the kal ser's conversation with the princes and also Pilnco Bismarck's peaceful looks at the dip lomatic dinner last night , for none yet liavn gone so far as to say that politics were dis cussed there. For uoth these much thank fulness Is expressed. THE EMi'Eitou Kivrunxs THANKS. Br.m.iN , March 23.

Ho Talks to the 1'rusaian Parllamnnt on Jtestorlnjj Priestly Orders. Ifiipj/rfi/ftl tSS li\i \ Jumes Gindmi licnnctt. ' ] HKHLI.V , March 23.-New [ York Herald Cable Special to the UKK.J Prlnco Bismarck - marck made to-day In the upper house of the Piusslan parliament such an Important speech on the Catholic question that the main features arc worth cabling In lull. Said Prince Bismarck : I stand , it you please to say so , as an opportunist toward this discussion. I regard peace with the pope as Impoitant as peace with any other foielgn power. How long this peace may last , If Indeed peace Is attained with the Uoman chinch , none can foresee. For Its continuance 1 assume no responsibility. As to the likelihood of a restoration of clctlcal orders antagonistic to the 1'iotestniit spirit of our state , I only say It Is not a question whether n few shall bo troubled , but a ques tion of the restoiation of tlio peace of a nation , i do not think It possible that the slcht of a black cowl can be FO unpleasant to the majority of my re ligious associates In law making. At any rate , one cannot consider Mich thoughts. Wo must consider whether our Catholic popula tion Is unable to live contentedly without monastic oidci.s. When speakers complain that we leave the Catholic clergy powerless In the control of their chinch , I reply that the priest knew what lay before him when he entered tered the chinch. Asiegards Iho education of tlio clirgy , the foundation ot many of the law lay in the Idea thallthe civil tialning of priests would Increase their toleration for other religion ? . This I regard as a mistake. It depends not on the training but on the later life of the Individual. Experience teaches mo that unlvui.sities , not priestly seminaries , turn out nurantagonists. A seminary under a peaco-lovine German bishop Is to me better than a nnlveisltv course for which none is responsible , Wo have seen clergymen aided by us tuin to out bitterest antagonists when Inducted Into ofllcc. I recall especially the prlnco bishop of Brcslan , who was most Itlendly before in- ductlon , and afterwards of the Government had so much to complain. A Kwn M priest la Installed he obeys his superior or rnlns his position. If a priest bo ever so well Inlcntloned he cannot follow his own feelings If clicumstaiices will not allow. 1 say this only to meet the1 reproach that \vo > leld Important state rights to the church. I recall that until IbTl wo lived under tlio old conditions. Still , nobody then said that Prussia surrcndeicd Its powers. There Is a complaint against foreign clerical orders , but we have her political factions far moro Independent and subject to the commands of foreign directions-factions which 1 would gladly exchange' for these foieign orders. lAppbuse.l 1 expressed the hope In 1875 that peace with the curia would come and that another AntoncllI would be found able to make pcaco with a worldly power. This hope vvrs leall/ed In 1373 , when n new pnpo sought peace. Then 1 planned a peace , but I see the hope lessness of oven an all povveiful minister. I needed ten years to realize my plan , bhould peace , as brought about , not bo satlsfatoty , nothing prevents our icvokine It. Poliaps by rc-ciiactlnir the May laws for the durance of this peace , 1 shall not bo icsponslble , but , Indeed , If It falls , It Is still better Until none at all. Party shifts have delayed this peace. The center changed suddenly fiom the confes sional to anti-state pattv. The laldioal- Freuch parlies allied themselves to it because their Imticil for the government overpowered their aversion for Catholics. Iteccnt events show that pcaco with the pope docs not mean peace at home , and when I compare the pope's de sires for peace with the center's opposition to the pope ; when I sco tlio struggle Inside the Catholic church , 1 have no doubt of the vic tory of the pope. Wo have , according to my conviction , to help the pope In his sti uggle. The pope and cmpcioi , In the socialist question , have the same Interests , and must wake common cause to overcome it. 1 cannot allow myself to break my word to the popo. At least I shall personally carry out all 1 promised him. 1 believe that when the pope and the king are once again In unity , we can pass overtho opposition of Heir Wlndthorst and the cen ter. A BAD HAY FOR FAVOUIT1SS. The Ijlncolnnhlro Itaccs Hesult in Many Surprises. [ Cnpiirlunt 1SS7 l > y Jninm Giinlon rtcuticfM LINCOLN , Kng. , Match 2.1. [ New York Herald Cable Special to the Bii.J : : This has been a bad day for favorites.

Kqually astonished looking woio the features of Watts , who rode Monument and finished lifth ; of the jockey who managed Fulmcr , and was sixth ; of Fred Bariolt , who came next with Hothschlld's Mlddlethorpe ; nor of Woods , who had Full erton as an unlucky thirteen. Would H bo unkind to add that Gilbert's aged Despair seemed to reflecthis name ou all the other favorites. " * : - A I'HKTTY CONTEST. It was , however , as pretty a contest as was evcrscecn. There was just a score of runners. The fust out of the paddock was Lord Hart Ington's hoi so with the running name of Corunna. Lord Bradford's Isobar , whoso jockey wore a white jacket and a black cap and got thiid place , was lirst on .tlio cour.se. Monmouth in the preliminary canter showed the way. Tbo other favorites excited similar admira tion as they were reined up beside Lord Mar cus Berestord's starting flag. But , exjopt for the sunshine gleaming ou the scarlet of that piince of Ifcht weights , young Maitln , who was fairly perched on Obcron ( Mr. Minton's or the duchess of Montroso's hoiso , wind came In a winner ) , they did not spcin to attract the least attention. Seven minutes wcio spent with two false starts Fastand Loose , belonging to the owner of the hot favoUte , Fnliuer , who was to make the winning from the latter , realizing its name byskitlshness. The third attempt was suc cessful , the lot being dispatched on even terras. Castor , on the left , was the quickest away , and ho made the runnlPB from Mlddlethorpe , and Fulmen on the light , in front of Pi/an o , with KIntra and Draw Las1 on the loft , and Despair and Oberon next , King Monmouth , Fullei ton and Isoban lol loping the richt hand lot , while Stowchcad Dlstlnian and St. Gcorgo were companions In the center. Plzarro soon lost his ulaco and Castor came away from De spair. Obeion , Mlddlcthorpo and Isobar , with Kenny , Fulmen , King Monmouth and St. George , wore the most prominent others until five furlongs had been covered Then Castor dropped away and Despair tooK up the running , followed by Oberon , Middle thorpe , Isobar , with llennv , St. Georga anil Monmouth next , In front of Fulmen and PUarro , Mlddlethropo was beaten a qjiarte ( if a mile from home , where Fulmen als < gave war , and with Despair hanging out signs of dlstiess. Directly afterward ho was passed by Oberon , who was followed by Kenny and Isobar , with King Monmouth next , to the distance pole. Hero King Monmouth was beaten and Kenny and Isobar challenged Obcron , but the latter .shook them oil and won somewhat easily by at least two lengths , there being a length be tween Kenny and Isobar. It will bo remem bered that Kenny last rear , In thosamo event , started a hot lavorito , but was not among the lirst tliicc.

A delegate seconded tha nomination of Harrison , and then some ono wanted to know whether Harrison would acceptor not. A committee had waited on him this morning and ho gave an undecided answer. Alderman Hlldreth rose and said that Harrison , over his own name , had declared ho would not hamper the demo cracy of this city , and would no longer be a candidate. [ Clieern , hisses , groans , and cilcs of "Harrison. " ] A delegate from the Eleventh ward named Fowler , culogUed the nomination of Carter H. Harrison. The speaker stood upon a chair and declared that Hanlson had caused moio Improvements to bo made with less taxation than any mavor who had over filled the chair.

Harrison' was declared nominated. Nominations for city tieasurer were then declaied In order , and Charles II. McAvoy was named. An * informal ballot was taken amid' a scene of confusion and dis order as has rarely been witnessed atj a convention In Chicago. Nobody could bo * heard. The spokesmen of the delegations weru halt crazed by excitement , and when ! the vote of the Eighth ward was called for , ' the spokesman had no sooner announced that it was tor McAvoy than he received two * black eyes and a bloody nose from a big follow - ' low who stood next to him. A free light fol-1 lowed , and amid yells , cheers , shouts , groans and general confusion the ballot was after ward continued , it was soon apparent that McAvoy was the winner. McAvoy's nomi nation was then inailo by acclamation. Charles Allen was nominated for city attor ney and Henry Stuckart was nominated for cltycIerK. When the nominations had all been made Mr. Harrison appeared and mado' a bitter speech. Ho was soiry that they had aain placed him In nomination , nut ho knew it was from the belief that ho could load them to victory. ' [ Cheers. ] Ho had not sought this noiuina- ' tlon and felt that they had placed a heavy burden on his shoulders He had hoped he , , would not have to take it up azain. Ho made a long and bitter statementeoncernlni ; the contest against his last election. Ho 10- leried to the talk about low dives and spoke of this at length. This morning a demociatio paper on its edltoilal sheet had articles all through attacking him , and another charged him with being tno triend of the gambler. A camblerlnight bo a United States senator for aught lie know. The democratic press answered the old distiteh , "A woman , a dog and a walmit tree , The moro you kick them the better they'll bo. " It was as with these papers. If Nelson , the labor candidate , had been attacked by the press , how long would the labor- eis subsetibe to them ? Why shouldn't the deiiiociatlc voters stop reading thcso sheets ? If ( hay did they would soon have a democratic sheet In town. Ho called on tha convention to boycott all the papers , and then closed by positively luluslngtho nomination. At ( lie conclusion of his speech Mayor Harri son left the hall , followed bv a ciovvd , whd surrounded him and temonstratcd against' his action. Tnc result of the conference was that Mr. Harrison went back to the hall , said that ho had reconsidered his action and would accept the nomination. Mr. McAvoy , nom inated for treasurer , Is ft rich brewer. The * fact that the convention failed tn endoiso any of the labor candidates is accepted as positive that the tight will be a triangular ono to the finish , and republican success Is ro- yarded as assured.
