LINCOLN , .Nob. , March 20. f Special Tele gram to TUB EKE. ] The senators who have pledged themselves to stand for retrench ment arrived at an understanding in time to defeat the Beatrice appropriation of fJO.OOO this afternoon. It has been decided to sub ject the Hastings appropriation of $30,4.00 to heroic surgery also. The Hastings hospital ( or tho'insano has ono building and Norfolk Jiospital two now wings , making three- buildings available for insane. When fur nished they will relieve the Lincoln hospital , nnd the exorbitant demands of the hitter \vlll bo put under the knlfo when their turns come. The senators have no disposition to cripple these institutions , and such minor buildings or appliances as nro absolutely in- ilispensiblo , will be put Into the general ap propriation bills. The action of the bouse In restoring Boss Btout's claim for $33,800 for interest on war rants , has arouscM Intense Indignation , and the opponents of this rank Jobbery threaten to defeat the whole appropriation Dill rather than pass this Item. It now appears tha Stout had this claim in a bill by itself , anil risked Cady to introduce it , but ho declined to have anything to do with it. Cady says the claim then was $32,000. The bill disappeared , but the claim bobbed up in tbo finance committee as $35,800 , and by some unknown hocus-pocus the committee put it Jnto the general appropriation bill. Tha scheme Is a shrewd one. If approved in com mittee of the whole itvvill require only a majority of the members present to adopt the committee report. There Is a big sired suspicion that quite a number of members nro likely to bo absent at that tlmo if cot pheckumted , but the foes of this job will frustrate the scheme by a call of the house and a vote that will put ovcry member on record. Stout was stationed out In the corridor during iho ilght and by n well regulated system sent for member after member. On tholr return from the interviews , thcso members were Stopped nt regular distances by other lobby ists with with seductive tales. This Is but a sample of the disgraceful scones being enacted hero. The onslaught on the sonata has already begun , prominent nmong the assailants being ox-Governor But ler , but Senators Kecltloy and Sutherland , who nro leading the repelling force , believe they can depend on twenty or twcnty-flvo votes to meet the assault with n soliu front. Baker's Hharp Practice. LINCOLN , Nob. , March 20. [ Special to Tnn BKI : . | Bakor's sharp practice while occu pying the chair in committee of the whole to-day is u matter of muuh comment. Hall moved to take up the maximum tariff bill , which has boon a speninl order in control of the author for several weeks , and Bukor put the motion and while the ayes were much louder and stronger than the noes , Bukor arbitrarily declared the motion lost. Loud calls for division were beard from all parts * f the house even before the result was an- 'Jouhccd , but the chairman said it was too late and refused to reverse his ruling. When tbo house adjourned an excited crowd of farmers gathered uround the member from Jefferson nnd expressed tholr opinion of bis arbitrary action in most emphatic terms. Protection Against Itoodlors. LINCOLN , Nob. , Maroli 20. | Spocl.il to TUB Br.i : . ) Members of the sonata are tukluc heroic measures to protect themselves fron : being bored and trampled under foot by the hungry boodlers , Ono of them has warned the doorkeeper not to admit ox-Governor Butluv to thu floor without permission of the president , on pain of losing his place.

LINCOLN , Nob. , March 00. fSpuclaltoTni IEK.J Tha ilrst effect of the senatorial cau bus In the Interest of retrenchment was tin defeat this morning of a bill passed by tin bouse to allow the claim of Pawnee count ; fur $170 for expanses In collecting cnrtali taxos. The several bills amending the lav povurnln ? counties under township orgnnlza lion were pasted , and the senate wont iati Committee of the whole to consider the pro posed constitutional amend mont permittini the Investment of ihoBtntapermanent suhoo fund In registered school district bonds. Cornell championed the measure am tatcd that within two years tlu'ro would bi tluo ou school lauds anil payable to this fum About fS.OOO.OOO. The state has found dial cully In pluulug these funds profitably In tin fttBt , und the proposition now is to open i now avenue oJ investment. Nosbitt I would like to know how man ; district school funds Iho ( juntleman fron Crorry Is interested In. Coiioll I inn not Interested In ono lota directly or Indirectly , but I am interested U the welfare of the 5100,000 school children o Nebraska. JCorva' said there was no money In th < /mid , r.inl there would oou bo county bcud for sale. Ho bollovod it unwlso to fritter away the school fund In Insecure district bonds. Conoll said the reason there was no money in the fund was because the ntato treasurer had gone east , bought up Nebraska bonds nnd allowed the eastern holders to slip off Interest coupon * to the amount of 1 , 2 or per cent , which Is now going Into their pockets without dollar Invested. Ncsbltt explained that the framers of the constitution nlmod to limit the investment of the school fund to such securities as would bo finfo. Ho bollovcd It a wlso policy , and. ho protested against the attempt to break down the safe guards. Thcw school district bonds are bnlng hawked about for purchasers , and are being sold at 75 to 80 cents on the dollar. This measure socks to hold up Nebraska by the throat and say It must take securities which Wall street will not accept except at a heavy discount. Conner was a mcmborof the constitutional convention and know that only after a long struggle was it tnado possible to invest the school fund In county bonds. Ho asked if the Btoto had over lost a dollar Invested In county bonds. Ho asked if any gentleman know of a dollar lost by an investor in regis tered school district bonds. Ho had boon in formed that the late state treasurer had re fused to buy county bonds on the plea that ho could not pay the premium asked. That treasurer , said tbo senator , had tha money In bank paying nlm interest nnd ho walked out of oOlco with $100,000. What Is the object of registering school dis trict funds I Is It to glvo authoritative ovl- donco that , they have boon issued In compli ance with all the legal requirements ! Tha speaker defied the opposition to point to n dollar doposltcd in registered school district bonds if properly issued. Ho challenged any member to show that a lobbyist nas been urging the passage of this bill. On the other hand , lobbyists have been persistently asking for the defeat of this bill. Wall street prefers city bonds because they can bo had in largo blocks , but tbero is no class of bonds so eagerly sought by small dealers as these registered district bonds. Cornell denied that tha school bonds of his district were being hawked about , and assorted that they could bo sold at par. Ncsbltt opposed an amendment ta uubslltuto the bonds of metropolitan and first class cities In the place of regis tered school district bonds. Ho asserted that an Omaha lobby had been urging the pas sage of this bill , while a syndicate of Lincoln bond purchasers had pushed through the bill to change the law as to who shall issue school bonds. The bill under consideration is to unload upon the state the private in vestments of individuals. Nosbitt's amendment was lost by a tic vote , and an amendment by Conner was adopted barring school bonds issued prior ta the passage of the act. The bill was recom mended for passage by n vote of 14 to 13. ' AFTEUNOON SESSION. The senate passed the bill to let the state printing on contract In .Job lots and wont into committee of the wholo. The first thing reached was the bill to appropriate $39,030 for land nnd now buildings for the Beatrlco Institution for feeble-minded children. Senator Keckloy moved the Indefinite postponement of tbo bill.und asserted that the time had coma to discriminate more care fully in making appropriations for state In stitutions. Ho would not favor a measure to cripple the Institutions In their proper maintenance , but almost ovcry institution comes to oaoh successive legislature with a demand for now buildings , und it is tlmo to call a halt. Hera Is a request for $17,000 foi a 170 Ocro farm. The children of Beatrice are not qualified to engage in farming , and it will bo a losing investment to buy higl priced land to employ children. Senator Ncsbltt took similar ground , sayIng - Ing that all these imbecile children needed was a place to make mud pics , and ho fur ther argued that when the parents of sucb children were able to provide for them they should not be made a burden upon the state. Senator Funck of Beatrice made a gal lant fight for the bill , explaining the work and the needs of the institution , and was supported by Senator Lindsay. Senator Wolboch , of Grand Island , tried to delay conclusions by moving that action bo postponed until tha committee on finance should report the aggregate of the approprla tion bill as directed by yesterday's rosolu tion. Senator Raymond , at Lincoln , who is chairman of that committee , promptly seconded ended the motion , but it was almost a ! promptly defeated. * Raymond then moved an amendment to strike out the $17,000 foi land. Senator Ransom said ho was not surprised at Raymond's course. It lias got around tc that time in tbo session when Lancaster ha ; a hand in tha basket and trying to pull oul all she can. In addition to this $59,000 the Beatrice institution asks for 133.000 for main tenance. Hero is nn item of 82,000 for furni ture. Why , the way things have been done that's not enough to make the acquaintance of the dealers. The amendment was voted down and the bill was indefinitely postponed by a vote ol 21 ayes. Ransom then moved that the senate consider sidor no more house rolls until the npproprla tions bills nro all in. Lindsay raised the point of order that tha committco of the whole could not take thli action , and the chair sustained the point. Runsoui appealed from the decision , dcclar ing it an outrage in the senate , and a nolsj squabble ensued between Ransom , Lindsa ; and Raymond. The chair's decision was re vorsed. The senate wont into an acute spasn of filibustering , during which motions am points of order rained thick and fast wlthou receiving attention from the chair. Raymond rose to a point of privilege an < repelled the Imputations cast upon his in tcgrity by Ransom when ho insinuated Lan caster county was trying to raid the state treasury. Ransom said ho had been hero before nm had a right to say that Lancaster countj filches moro appropriations "than any othe county in the state. .Ho said Raymond couli take down his words if ho pleased and tr ; him before the bar of the scuate. The gentlemen were rapped to order am cooled down. Ransom's motion was defeatec and the committee resumed its work.

Corbln snld that It did not appear to him m that light. Whlla the state could not take property for public uio without com- , ponsailon , there was no constitutional ob jection to the state destroying property that is dangerous to the public wcllorc. Rnyner's motion to postpone tbo bill was lost 11 to 80. The report of the committco was adopted. The house again took up house rolls 4S3 nnd 434 the appropriation bills. Caldwell moved to insert the Item of $35,781 for Interest on state warrants in the general appropriation bill in favor of Boss Stout , nnd a llvo hour debate ensued. Cady denounced the schema as the osscnco of dishonesty , and declared that ho would vote against the entire appropriation bill if this item was Included , and was answered by "Hero , too , " from nil over the bouse. Scovlllo made a powerful and convincing speech against the motion , Caldwell nnd Baker defended the claim , Gilbert charged Baker with always being on the sldo of the lobby , nnd nn exciting col loquy ensued. Tlio final vote resulted , yeas 49 , nays 42 , and the amendment carried. The opponents of the measure hope to bo able to strika it out on n roll call to-morrow , nnd a stubborn fight is sure to follow. The issue Is uncertain , but bound to bo close. The appropriation of $80,000 for the ex penses of the llvo stock agents was stricken out and $10,000 for expenses of the state veterinarian substituted. Hall moved to ndd $ ' 10,000 for Insurance of state buildings , which was lost , and $320 to cancel existing policies inserted. Adjourned until 10 o'clock to-morrow. Legislative Gossip. LINCOLN , Nob. , March 39. [ Special to Tun Ben. ] Hall's maximum tariff bill , as modi fied , wont .through the house without any opposition except from Olmstcad , who wanted the bill road. As the measure cov ered about ono hundred pages and was httlo more than n classification of articles of com merce , the request was not granted. Baker tried to get in Tom Konnard's claim for $11,000 for alleged services rendered the state in collecting certain sums from the general government years ago. Cady , as usual , was ready with a little substitute , which included other claims , and the ICcn- nard claim was lost in the deal. The sonata killed the Corbin bill to punish assessors for undervaluation of property , and the companion bill limiting the basis of taxa tion to one-half the prevailing rates. By striking out the stock commission the house saved the state a round $00,000 besides the innumerable "claims" that would soring up to vex the future legislators. THE KOYAD JAPS. They Attract Considerable Attention and Scorn to Ijiko It. The announcement made by the morning papers yesterday that a party of Japs of royal blood would pass through Omaha in the afternoon , on route from San Francisco to Washington and Now York , led many people to stroll down to the Burlington depot nt the hour for the arrival of the train. They were not disappointed. The pilgrims from the hind of the mikado were ou board , and during the few minutes the train stopped in Omaha strolled about the depot and plat forms , clvlng the sight-seers ample oppor tunity to satisfy their curiosity. In dross the men were very English , being clad principally in tweed suits and fore and aft caps. They smoked cigarettes inces santly , and so far from being displeased with the gaze of the "vulgar herd , " took it good- naturedly , and even seemed to enjoy It. The four ladies of the uarly were dressed according to Rcdfcrn , although an Omaha girl who stood by declared that the dross of the princess was an atrocious fit. They dressed their hair A la Psycho and looked en tirely American except as to their faces. The party consisted of the Count and Countess Sowa , the Marquis and Marchioness Maoda , Mr. Baitan , master of ceremonies to his royal hichness and nis wife , the mikado , Lieutenant Yoshio , commander of the navy , and his wife , Mr. Kato , of the royal house hold. Dr. Mlaura , physician to the mikado. ' Lieutenant Yoshio was the only member of the embassy who can speak English in telligibly , but ho speaks tho. language flu ently , and took great pleasure in answering tt > o questions put to him la a continuous stream by the newspaper reporters. Tlio party , bo said , sailed from Japan on the 10th of February und arrived in San Francisco on the dth Inst. After a pleasant visit in the city of tbo Golden Gate they came on cost The party is traveling princi pally for pleasure , incidentally examining the navies of the different countries they vis't. ' From Omaha they will go to Wash ington , and from there to Now York , whore they will board ship on the Oth of April and sail for Paris , where they will visit the ex position. Lieutenant Yoshio has visited America on 'several occasions , but the other members of the party breathe the ozone of Uncle Sam- uol's domain for the first time. They are de lighted with what they have seen and greatly surprised to find that "tho people of these United States have reached such a high de gree of civilization. " On the llth of last month the mikado , by royal decree , gave to Japan its first constitu tion , which entirely changes the form of government , making it similar to that of England. The men of the party are all small la stat ure nnd very ordinary-looking people , in deed. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy will euro ivcold in less time than any other treatment.

TELLING FIGURES > H are the arguments we have always used to influence trade and these telling figures have always brought us the customers , and we will al ways depend on them for the biggest share of the clothing trade. Our business has been built up on the plan of low prices and we mean to continue on the same plan , Our stock this season is unlimited and this gives the buyerij unlimited choice. We display hundreds of styles of spring suits. Here are a few of the bargains we start the season with . One lot of nice all wool Cheviot Suits , lined with good farmer's satin , at $4.75. This is an honest suit , well made. At no time has such a suit been sold at less than $7.5O. One lot of really nice cassimere suits , a neat dark mixture at $5.9O. This suit is lined with good serge , made substantially and we recom mend it for excellent wear. Wo have always had the reputation for the bo3t line of woll-mado medium priced suits say at $8 , 59 and $10. Knowing that the great majority of cuatomors prefer that price , we have always taken pains to give the greatest possible value that could be put into a suit at that price. The line of $8 , $9 and $10 suits which we display this season is far ahead of anything shown formerly. Wo unhesitatingly claim that with every suit you buy of us at that price you save at least from $5 to $6. Wo have this season added to our line of § 10 suits an extraordinary bargain in the shape of a splendid corkscrew suit. The mate rial is all worsted and of very fine quality , lined with best farmer satin. Wo have them in sacks and frocks , all sizes , from 35 to 42. The suit is of good weight and will make an excellent dross suit.
