Senator Paddock would havp voted In favor of the educational bill If h0 had not been unexpectedly called from thb Bciiate a short tlm6 before the measure camp tip for its final passage , fearing that ho would not be In his seat when the roll was culled , ho arranged a pair with Senator Md- J'liL'rson , of New Jersey , which wns duly re corded ana Is reported in the Congressional Record. Mr. Paddock's vote would have Ix-on rust for the Blair bill , he says , on ac count of tho.volumes of petitions and memo rials from edncntors , superintendent of pub lic schools und educational association in Ne braska , all praying for the passage of the bill UK un aid to national education.

In' the United States supreme court to-day the chief justice gave notice that mandates to enforce the de cisions of thocourt would be issued in all cases decided previously to January 1 , except those in which petitions for rehearing are pending und those docked and dismissed. In view of the fact that u petition for rehearing has been forwarded , but not yet received , in the Maxwell-Preller murder case , Brooks vs the State of Missouri , the issuance of a mandate in that case is postponed. Tlio effect of this will bo to put off for the present , the execu tion of sentence of death pronounced upon Brooks , alias Maxwell , by the state court. The United States supreme court denies the application for a rehearing in the case of William D. Andrews et ol vs George Hovey the Driven Well.case and adhered to its decision. SOUTH OMAHA'S COUXCILMEN. They Meet , und Transact n Ainoaiit of Iliudncsa. It was nearly 8 o'clock before there % vas a quorum of the South Omaha council last night , but the members present bcioro that hour did not seem to worry nbout the flight of time , as each and all were attentively studying , und explaining to their friends , the numerous documents they held in their hands. Such of voters us were present stood respectfully against the wall , or gathered around the stnvc , and showed up In marked contrast to the gang that formerly ruled the roost. Marshal MeCracken , City Clerk Wells and Councilman Whittle-soy hold down tlio solitary table the council affords , und wore burled in the details of a set of plans designed to furnish the lockup with iron cages. Councilman Burke wus the llrst of the council that showed up without any doc uments , and ho was closely followed by Councihnen Geary and Lirschcr , who wore only burthenod with n cigar aplooo. "Mayor Savage was ranging over the prairies along the North Platte nnd could not bo present , so when tlio t line came Councilman Smith called the meeting to order. After roll cull Coun cilman Geary won excused , as he was still decidedly ill , und the regular routine business was proceeded with. Business was evidently the motto , and everything that came l > cforo the meeting was disposed of with "neatness , cheapness and dispatch , " and without any unncecessary delay or ob struction. The lirst committee to reiwt was that on finance , and they recommended the payment of a number of bills submitted to them at the last meeting. The treasurer's report was also adopted , uud Judge Kcuther'B account of the January police court business wus declared to be satisfactory. The Hoof and Horn secured the city printing for the year , and the committee reported progress , but \vuro granted further timo. Then the ordinance committee took the floor und recommended that the old county road between Twenty-fourth and Twenty- eighth streets bo vacated for the good of the county , but it was laid over under the rules. The committee on police wns ready to report "when they could ilnd the book , " but as they could not lind it and their report was not in writing , it was passed over. "Tho book , " it may bo said , was a copy of the rules of the Omaha i > olicu force. An ordinance granting u certain franchise to thu Omaha Gas Manu facturing company wns referred back , Coun cilman Burke characterizing It as an attempt to "steal , " the sumo as the motor line. By this time the police commiteu ! found the missing "book" above referred to , und asked leave to ix'i'ort. This was allowed , nnd for the benellt , guidance and information of the council , Clerk Wells read the rules govern ing the Omaha police force. As none of the members had ever got in trouble in Omaha , It was thought the rules would work all right in South Omaha , so the committee moved that they bo adopted and they were. Then came u report that was not a report , and wus not intended to goon i coord. It came from the members of a si > cciul com mittee , apix > intod to decide on the best means of levying tribute on the inmates of nouses of prostitution , and it wus decided to keep up the old lines bllt to cull-thorn "assessments" and so put the revenue derived In gi ncrul fund. A petition , asking for u vote on the issuing of. J2M > , w:0 : bonds was. read , and Attorney Kdgerton explained upon wliut conditions the bonds could bo issued , ad vising them ut ( ho same time to wait until after the next , assessment as ttio ainuont tnon secured would bo much larger wus made. They agreed to wait. "A comniuiile.Uion ask ing for sidewalks to be laid otfN. street up to Twenty-fourth streot' was read , und the marshal was told to look after it , wherever the grading was furnislioj. Talking nbout siduwulks Councilman Glas gow huid that the citv engineer was soino- wlmt derileut in his duty , und moved that thu ofllco should-be declared vacant und after u short discussion Jt wns. Tlio vacancy was only for u short , time , hqwqver , for F. II. Meyers , who. is. well posted in all relating to the ofllccVuS ut ou'calippointcd and in fu- turn can sign "City i iif-inec.r" after hia name. The city treasurer nvas next heard from , nnd announcement that ho had * l,200orlf > 00.onhand wns rut short by Councilman Glasgow , moving that ho bo empowered - powered to hjwnd it that is to cash outstamV ing warrants. * The power was granted , and whllo the council wus'in good humor undci the unexpected iliM'ovory of , funds in the treasury , Councilman Hafferty moved that thu embryo" board of trade bo granted the free use of the city hull for their preliminary meetings and they were. The bill of $2.bC for "hawllilg fourteen dogs" proved too much for the council and after hurriedly ordering It to be paid they adjourned. The ruinous Corcoran Dying. WASIUMITOX , Fqb. ' . ' 0.

IIAiNDS TIED , Inoffoctttal Attempt to Make Public the Fisheries Treaty. CONCERNING THE BATTLE FLAGS. Answer of Hie Secretary of AVnr to Mr. lloufolle'H llcsolntlon All the Are Snfo Con- The Klslierlcn Treaty. WA IIIXOTO.V , Feb. ! iO. The senate In ses sion to-day listened to the reading of the fishery treaty and then for uii hour there en sued an earnest but unsuccessful struggle to nake It public. The lead In this matter was : aken by Senator Frye , who 1 * anxious his constituents shall bo informed nuthorlta- .ively as to , what they have to hope for from .ho matter. The motion wns gallantly sup- wrtcd nnd would have been successful butter tor the discovery that the senate Is power less , In the fuce of Its own rules , to do what t desires. Hence , us the matter is expected lo coiuu from Ottawa within a day or two , : ho senate contents itself with send ing the treaty to the public printer "to bo printed In confidence. " The provisions of the document are said to bo very much as the papers have already stated them. That which seems to have fastened itself most firmly upon the sena torial memory as hastily as the reading was progressing , Ls the provision that the privi lege of going into Canadian ports to buy bulls ilmll bo withheld by Canada unless the United States cougress passes laws for the free admission ( xf ilsh and oil. The document Is commented upou by one side practically conceding that the Canadian contention has been , corrected as to the interpretation of the treaty of ISIS , Upon the other hand senators friendly to the administration express the opinion that all has been accomplished by the department that could be exacted and that it quarrel which bus lasted over half a cen tury has thus been brought to ou cud. Our rings Still There. WASIUXOTO.Y , Feb. 3D. The secretary of war to-day returned to the house his answer to the Boutello resolution calling for inform ation iis to whcthcr'tho Hags captured by thu United States have been remanded from the place , .where they are ulsplaycd and concealed , and If so , by what authority and for what purpose ; and further us to what propositions have been made by government oMclals as to the surrender of these Hags , and whether it is true that a portion of them were actually surrendered to persons having no right to their possession. As preliminary the secretary gives a brief history of the flags. It is stated that , while some of the con federate flags have slnco been given to the companies or regiments capturing them , no flags have p.isscil out of the custody of the department that were in such custody when Secretary Kndicott assumed charge of the department. The order to return the flags and the order revoking the llrst are given and the statement is made that no Hugs were actually returned under the llrst order. As to the law requiring public exhibition of captured flags and trophies it is assumed that the construction put upou it by former secretaries of the war and navy was that the law applied to trophies taken fram foreign enemies and not to these taken during domestic hostilities.
