Inu's to furnish a copy of the contract made
with John Lanham. Adopted.
The senate took up bills on third reading
and linal passage and some twenty were
passed. These bills are practically Identical
with the bills reported and considered In
committee of the whole the day before.
Among them was the pharmacy bill as finally
amended , which now goes to the governor
for his signature with the objectionable feat-
, urcs removed ; also the bills authoilzlng
' justices to issue executions in other counties ,
and Mr. Colby's bill allowing married
women , whoso husbands are Incurably in
sane , to receive divorce.
The bill submitting a constitutional amend
ment to a vote of the people Increasing the

House roll 185 , by Mr. Watson , which does
away with the llllne of printed briefs in the
supiemo court , was up again in the senate
and passed after a warm fight with a close
vote. Some of the senators In discussing the
measure said that the supreme court judges
were Influencing the matter and a close con
test was at onca inaugurated. This bill had
previously passed both branches and was on
Itn way to the governor when the court. It was
claimed , succeeded in throwing the bill back
again. 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. Mr. Watson has been
pushing the bill with vlcor and it looked for
a while as though It was a side contest be
tween the lawyers In the legislature and the
court
On the third reading the prohibitory
amendment question aualn brought up an
animated discussion , Messrs. 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. At this stage In the pro
ceedings Mr. Moore turned up ab
sent and It took a call of
the house before he was acaln tn his scat. The
Lancaster nnn then voted , coupling his vote
with a personal explanation. As the vote
dllfers somewhat trom the vote on the same
question In committee- the whole , It Is

NOTP.S.
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.

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

ilnce William. All rose lo greet her as she
ilood lacing the stji.se to glvo words of advice

Icues ot the past tnree clays. Following him
lame the king of Saxony with the queen of

many , and after them such a crowd of futuio
ulcrs anil great nobles that the eyes cot tlicd

between two queens with the empress to the

ago much more than the kaiser. She is a lit
tle bowed down by years.
TIinATIUCAI.S.
Out went the electric lights and In the
darkness a hymn was sung from the stage.
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. " 15oth were
so well rendered that I found It hard to keep
on making notes about the great people pres
ent Instead of listening as I wished to the
music. Afterwards there was an Interim ,
during which lees were passed. The kaiser
lose and suddenlyliko n well trained courier ,
all present also rose to nmialn standing
while ho wont about speaking to persons
hero and there In the audience. 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.

This has been a day ol candle ends and

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.

IUSMAIICK ON CATHOLICISM.

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 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

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

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

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

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

undoubtedly the most turbulent over hold In
the city , when ho had again been nominated
for ma > or , ami In one of his characteristic !
speeches bade a filial faiowcll to political
life. Ho declined the nomination In em
phatic and set terms , and then accepted.
Two or tlueo familiar faces wore absent
from the convention. "MIUo" McDonald
\\astiotpiesont , and William .1. McGarlgle
( under indictment ) , and John K. VanPolt ,
who , It Is rumoied , may bo Indicted , were
also absent. When the organl/atlon had boon
completed a delegate from the Eighteenth
ward desired to place In nomination for
major Dewitt C. 'Iroeicr. ICiles of "no , "
and hisses and cheers and yells of "Harri
son. " ] Another Eighteenth ward delegate
named Harrison. 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. He represent-
ted the only true respectable section of demo
cracy.
"Will the gentleman give way to a ques
tion ? " asked somebody. [ Loud cries ot "No ,
no , go on , Fowler. " ! "Harrison is our
standard bearer. " > elled ,1'owler. [ Wild
cheers. ]
"Is ho a candidate ? " [ Hisses and cheers
for Hairison.l Amid great confusion , tho' '
: iaiuo of Croder was withdrawn. 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.
