Lwtoi.v , Neb , Jan 11. [ Special to Tut
VlM ! . ] In the senate this moining Mr. Han-
corn introduced n resolution that the boaul
of regents of the university make n biennial
report in place of the annual report , vvhieli
is not now received in time to bo of use to
members of the legislature. As It is now ,
Mr. Knnsom explained , the legislature ha'
> jo means of knowing what Is the condition
of the university , mid is called upon to act
blindv ) in making appropilatlons for the sup
port of that Institution.
Mr. Norvnll salu The committee on ruica
is now readjto report , that the rules of tlio
last session KOVcrn the piesent session , ex
ropt tlmt on bills , w hlch Is recommended to
t > c umcnded so as to provide that when u bill
is icpoitcd to the senate it shall bo pitntcd ,
with all its amendments , before a vole is
taken on Its final passage , also adding to the
committees of the senate a committee of five
on soldiers' home , of seven on standing
rommittccs ; and of live on industrial inntituiu
for feeble minded vouti.s.
Mr. Uaymond bald it would be in the power
thesu ninenduic'iits to
of a commilten iimi i
kill u I1"'with ' aiij possibility of piotest on
the part of the soaate. The first mid second
reading of bills receives no attention I also
object to any new standing committees The
committee on public- lands and buildings can
rcallj do the whole woik.
Mr. Sutherland thought that bills should
tcitalnlj be icported badt so as toglvomem
bcis the opportunltv to cconomuo them be
foio thoj nio punted.
Mr Nesbitt said that the object of the pro
posed amendment was to contiol expenses
lessen them. If a bill is reported unfavor-
\ \ nblv there is no object in h wing it punted.
Mr. Norval explained that thoiulopie-
Aiovs legislature had idwiiVH been , ns it is
now pioposcd to make it. bo far as tlio new
committees are concerned , theio is no in
stitution in the state , which needs to
be in the hands of u committee mete
than docs the faoldlcis' homo. Its inteicsts
should be guutdcd moio than is possible at
the hands of the committee on public lands
ami buildings.
Air. Haiisom If it takes u two tlihds vote
to suspend the rules wo could not under
this amendment have a bill piinted unless
two thiids of tlio senate shot'ld vote to have
it done. Tliosoldieis are not growing old
any faster than v.o arc , or than nro the in
mates of the other Institutions. Theio is no
disposition to ciovvd out the Soldiers' homo ;
they will bo tieated with fairness and
justice.
Mr. Haj'inond It is true that n committee
in charge of a bill has gre it inlluenco Thej-
can carry n bill in their pockets till too Into
to have it fairly considered , or suppicss it al
together. Lot us be open , fair and squuio
in the m liter , and allow each member for
himself to lend a measure bcfoio the commit
leo report on it.
Mr. Nesbitt There was a great
outcrj' n w ek ugo in favor of
the strictest economy. Now
several senators frequently Introduced bills
on the same subject anil covering the same
ground , and this me isuro gives us the op-
poi limit j' to save some $2OJO during the ses
sion by not printing then1 all , but only these
which me finally ngrecd on bj' committees
Mr. Norv al offered at. amendment "Unless
otherwise oideied by a m ijoritj- vote of the
senate , " which was adopted , and the report
llnally went tinough , extia committees aud
all.
all.Mr.
Mr. Taggart moved that a committee of
thice bo appointed to confer with the com
mittee ol five appointed by the house , to 10-
poit on the pi luting of the governor's mes
sage , which was adopted , and Messrs. Tag
gart , Pope and Walbach appointed as such
committee.
A motion waa offered by Mr. Ilansom that
the senate ndjourn to Mondaj1 at 2 o'clock.
Mr. Nesbitt opposed tlio motion bcciuso ho
thought this course would prolong the ses
sion unduly. The people expect us to net in
u business-like manner. Mr. Sutherland
thought it to bo the duty of the members to
remain and transact their business and get
through with it as soon as possible An
amendment was adopted that the senate ad
journ till 10 o'clock to morrow.

for an adjournment , demanding the lives and
noes on eveiy vote and much time Is wasted
in loll calls. As is well known , n motion to

and takes pi oeedcnco over all things else. It
is always in order. Some ono supposed to be
known to Air. McSb.ino , put up a job on
Weavei to-day by which Chairman Dibble ,

of that measuie , the Omaha bill was to faro.
The scnatois named began doing lively work
too. It was exciting 'when Weaver got up
and began to oppose the bill. Ho
said ho was not oppo ftdto at on account of
any dement , but because the Oklahomi bill
should bo fiist considered. If the Oklahoma
bill was first given a chance ho would not
object to the public building or any other
honest billTnero was a wianglo over the
revclancy of his speech to the question under
considuiation. Then Wca\cr attempted to
have the house adjourn. Failing to have his
motions recognized by the speaker he de
manded a quorum on every step , and finally
the ayes and nays on ordering the pievious
question , the object being of course to con
sume the dav before a final vote was taltcn
The speaker was prepared for such an emer
gency , howoer , and stood Hrmlv to IUR rul
ing On the vote , finally reach to agree
to tlio confeience report ) the ayes were 199
and tlio noes weio 51. So the report and
bdl passed. In a minute there were clus
tered around Weaver , Senators Paddocic and
Mnndeison and Representative McShane , all
pleading with him to lot the confercnca re
port on the Omaha bill come up , but he
would not yield He fought like a ilger.
There was a repetition of the tactics em
ployed to defeat the consideration of the
Milwaukee bill. By the assistance of the
speaker , and almost the cntiiu house , the
Nebraska quorum was retained nud the pre
vious question at last oidored. It looked for
an lioui as though 5 o'clock , the time for ad
journment under a special rule ,
would nirlvo before the final vote
could bo reached. But there is an end
to all moital things , and the ayes and noes
on the adoption of the conference report was
calied , Chairman Mills , W. S. Scott and
other distinguished domociats who have not
been seen m the house for weeks , appeared
and voted. The result was ayes , I'.Ki ; noes ,
W. So the conference report on the Omaha
public building bill , about which HO much
has been said for neaily a year pist , was
adopted together w ith the bill itself. The
Nebraska men woio congratulated on every
hand. Then folluwed u light for the conference -
once report on the San Francisco building
bill. This measure did not huvo
the active workers that the Omaha
bill did , and pending its consideration the
house adjouincd. Had it not been for the
lomnrkublo and arbitiary ruling of the
speaker and the effective work of the No-
binska statesmen named , the Omaha bill
would not have been adopted , because it
would not have been reached. It may bo
adopted by the senate to-morrow. Senators
Mamlorson and Paddock say it will be called
up promptly , and theio is no doubt whatever
that it will bo passed by the
senate , as there is little , and no
factional opposition to it there. The bill
will likely roach President Cleveland on
Monday nest , or Tuesuay at the fai thcst ,
n i id barring nccidont. Sonu question has
boon laised as to whether the president will
sign the bill. Mr McSlmno sajs ho will do
ovcrj thing possible in the waof bringing
democratic influence to bear , and Senators
Mundurson and Paddpok will see Mr. Cleve
land , and thcio is not much danger of a
vote , With the adoption of thoieport by the
senate will close one of the most persist
ently fought battles over waged for a public
measure. The. people of Omaha ought to
congratulate themselves.
A ouiinus SUIT ,
Secretary Vilas to day decided a cut Jens
case , which has been before the interior de
partment since 1872 , involving the light bo-
tweeu a settler and a 'railroad corporation for
the possession of a strip of the bottom of the
Missouri liver. The river has a babit of er
ratically changing 1U coin so , sometimes
leaving Its old bed some miles away
and cutting for luelf a new channel.
On the line between Ncbuiska and Dakota
it come within the limit of the grant of the
Sioux City & Pacific ruihoad. The stream
changed its channel and loft | > ait of its bed
high and dry. Patrick Moimhuii made a
homestead cntn of the land in Ib71. The
railroad claimed the land , and several de
cisions were tendered against Man.ihaii' The
latter claimed that tlio road could not claim
the land , because it lnd ; no existence when
thogaant to the road was made , as it was
the bottom of the Missouri river. The road
asserted that its grant covered everything
In the shape ol "land , however lony it
had existed. Many years arc spent by the
department in 'gathering testimony us to
when the navigable channel of the river had
aver passed over the land in question , and
llnally found that It had not. Then wit-
ncbses swore that the laud had grown grass

that the land existed practically drv when
the grant to the load was made , tho'sccio -

\atlon , pissed both houses today and will
be foi warded to congi ess to night It is nd
diossed to the committee on territories , of
which Congiessman Spiingor is chairman.
The onginnl icsolutton was amended so that
the White liver shall bo the bouthoin boun-
daiyofthat poition to be opened. There
w is not a dissenting vote. The i ulcs of both
houses wore susDonded so that the memorial
might bo adopted without delay.
In convocation with members of the legis
lature , not one was found who was not in
favor of having congiess open the icscivn-
tion without consulting the Indians. While
this is the sentiment with icgnid to the open
ing of the luids to settlement , it is also the
deshc that the government should pay the
Indians mote than 50 cents per acio for the
land
Thcio is such a tendeacy toward ictrench-
nient on the part of the lepislatuie that
ah eady bills have been introduced for the
abolishment of the olllccs of commissioner of
immigration , railioad commissioner , public
oxamuici and repealing the law appropriat
ing moro for the pajmcnt of traveling ex
penses of the judges , and clerk hire for the
goveinor. These bills in c introduced by 10-
publicans who came to fight Goveinor
Church , and if possible postpone the session
until a republican governor is appointed.
Falling In the attempt to postpone , they
hope to abolish many of the important ofll-
ces , so that the patronage will bo removed
fie n the democrats. The bili extending the
time when the luxes of IbSh shall become
due , and on which eastoi n land owners are
largely intetested , has passed the house and
will meet no opposition in the council. In-

WASHINGTON , Jan. , 11. Consul Gcnoial
Sowall , of Samoa , appeared bofoi o the sen
ate committee on foi cign i elatlons to dav.
General Sewull was examined in secret at
great length. Ho said that the shedding of
blood since lie left Samoa had ladlcally
changed the situation there , and that if it
vveie not intended to yield to Germany en-
tuo contiolof their hinds , some uccidcd ac
tion would have to bo taken by the poweis.
He presented to the committee a copy of the
Suuioin Times newspaper , published at Apia ,
cent lining accounts of an unpio voiced and un
expected attack by a German war
ship upon the natives , and a meetIng -
Ing by tlio consuls of other nations
denouncing the net , and also misleading and
unfair statements bv a German consul.
Sowall spoke of the studied and' systematic
effoits of the Germans in sending out news
from Berlin conceinlng Samoa to give the
impiession that the American was the tig-
giebsor in every case of trouble. Gciman
oppression , ho is fuithcr said to have repio-
sentoil , as entirely responsible for any ap
parent division of natives into hostile fac
tions. Ho described Tamasa's ' followers as'
a comparative handful , who were threatened
by an unploas int dllumma If they failed to
keep up the agitation against the native gov
ernment they feared death ut the hands of
the German allies ; if they escaped , then the
same fnto awaited them at the hands of the
natives , who considered them traitors to

against such he irty mid illogical m tlon that
I protested , and still protest I believe In
keeping a piotuiso. 1 believe in being con
sistent two points which Fioquut's govoin-
meiit would seem to regard ns Insignificant
details in the line of policy. "
"Do jou think the piesent government 1ms
compiomiscd its interests in the general
elections by opposing the w ishcs of so huge
a body of olectoia ? "
"rioquet and his advisois have done noth
ing but play Into my hands by their i efusal
to sustain the Panama scheme. They have
nssuicd mo the allegiance of an army of
800,000 shareholder That is only ono illustration -
tration of their stupidity. By their ridiculous
energy in the Baudm affairs on December 5 ,
m tri ing to call out a mob , they lost the sup
port of thousands of Paris shopkeepois
whoso interests are centered in the main
tenance of order in the stiects. A mob is
terrible when aroused , and Floquet should
remember that it is one thing to let loose
i00,000 ! men and quite another to force them
to return peaceably to their homes. Foitun-
ntely for Paris , Floquot's plan failed. "
"Then , you feel sure of defeating the gov-
einment in the coming contest ! "
"Sure to defeat them ! Why , my dear sir ,
they will defeat themselves To obtain a
victory 1 liavo only to rest on my oais and
watch them cut their own throats The other
day they incrcised their discom
iituro by icfusing to vote the
time honored holiday lemcmbranco

eiror will cost them thousinds of votes.
Then there is the amnesty matter by which
they have made enemies of numbeiless
laborers , and so I might go on indefinitely.

though the machinations of the rioquet gov
ernment may i educe it to 80,000. "
"Are > ou not afraid of their adopting violent
lent uieasuies against you ! "
The general diew himself up pioudly and
leplied with flashing cjcs , and in ringing
tones. "Let them dare to touch a hair of my
head and they will see the
result of such temerity in the
suffrages of 30J,000 Fieiichmen , who would
lise up and demand me as their i epresonta
