SENATE.
The feature of tno week has been the re
ductions made in the special appropriation
bills received from the house. The follow
ing statement' shows the amounts allowed by
the house and the sums 'remaining wlion the

Thin result was brought about by a combi
nation of senators formed at a private meet
ing Tuusday evening. About twenty of them
liavo Rgroed to oppose unnecessary cstravu-
gaucc , and they wore Joined by all the other
1 members except the eight or nluo who are
specially interested instate institutions that
Want appropriations. It is expected the alli
ance will reduce the amount asked for by
(500,000 or nioio , which will bring the aegro-
Kato below 18,000,000. Following are the
principal measures passed by the senate during -
. ing the week :

IIOU8B.
, The past week has bcon the most eventful
ono In the session , The appropriation bills
toed the various claims against the state wcro
under consideration , ami the battle between
, .tbo friends of economy and reform and the
plundering combine who sought to raid the
tate treasury has been absolutely tcrrillc.
. .jL'lio committee on public lands and public
'
Building * , of which Caldwell of Lancaster la
chairman , submitted u report which con
* taniplntcd additions and improvements nn a
' tnagiilllooat scale to Hourly every ouo of the
Charitable institutions. The following are
the Items as icportcd by this committee nnd
tmaicd by thu Itouso with only minor changes :

at Iho Kearney reform school ! fir ,000 for
cottages at soldiers' homo at Grand Island ,
and 131,000 for additional buildings at the
homo for erring women nt Mllford.
Thcso extraordinary special appropriations
wore supplemented by an enormous Increase
In the estimates of the expenses for'tho state
oOlccs , and the deputies and clerks nil struck
for higher salaries , ranging from $100 to'foOO
In each cnso. Now clerks , numbering ns
many as four In ono department , were asked
for and clerk hire provided for In the form
of Items for "sending out blanks , " or some
other term equally misleading. This con
templated increase In salaries was eloquently
defended by Ualdwoll.who has stood sponsor
during the session for neatly everything In
the line of extravagant or reckless expendi
ture of public funds , but the "farmer com
bine , " lea by Majors , Corbin , Delaney , and
otbcrs , fought each Item step by step , and
succeeded by a small majority in preventing
any Increase In salaries , except in a single In
stance , notwithstanding the otTorts of the
employe * and their superiors to carry out
their scheme.
W. H. U. Stout had another "llttlo claim"
before the house last wcclc that occupied
much attention. A bill of 835.7&I.G5 for In
terest on warrants that ho pretended wcro
not paid when duo , was presented and urged
by a hungry horde of claim agents and lob
byists with unparalleled Impudence nnd
with n zeal worthy ofu much bettor causa.
On Mondav the claim was rejected in com-
inittco of the whole by n vote of CO to 31 , but
the lobby rallied its forces ana ronowcd the
struggle with redoubled energy. Growing
desperate at last , n system , which falls iittlo
short of an attempt nt wholcsnlo bribery ,
was Inaugurated , Member after member
was called out Into tbo hall to meet well
knbwn "oil room" heelers , and odors of
money ranging from $50 to ffXK ) for votes
were plainly , though indirectly , mado. Cndy
Of Ho ward led the fight against the claim
and Was ably supported by Gilbert , Scovillc ,
Dclancy , Corbin. Johnson , Majors and
others. A roll call was finally reached , and
when the call was completed the friends of
the measure had apparently won the day by
a single voto. But Cndy , who baa kept
tally , now executed a parliamentary man
euver that won the admiration oven of the
lobby. Messrs. Truosdoll , Fenton and
Wells , who were nil strong op
ponents of the , steal , were tem
porarily absent , nnd Cndy , in order
that ho might gain time , and also move a re
consideration , changed his vote In favor of
the claim. Gushing of Douglai , who had become -
come thoroughly disgusted with tlio impor
tunities of the lobby , now cast his vote
against tlio bill nnd was followed , amid the
plaudits of the house , by Cameron , Braucht ,
Collins , Dunn , Crugcn , Gardner and others ,
the final vole standing 53 to 33. As soon ns
Cubbing voted to strike out the item , Cndy
changed back to "ayo" again , and Trucsdell
nnd wells rushed In , but too Into to got their
votes recorded. The teat vote before any
changes wcro made is as follows. These
voting to strike out tbo Item wcro :
Abrahamson , Ballard. Berlin , Blsbco ,
Bortis , Brink , Cndy , Christy of Dodge , Cor-
bin. Dclanoy , Elliott , Everett , Farley , Gates ,
Gilbert , Green , Hampton , Hnnnn , Honthorn ,
Harding , Hill of Butler , Hooper , Hunter ,

Satcholl , Scovillo , Slicpard , Snyder , Stlric ,
SwnttzloyVebor , Wollor , Whltchead ,
VVhltford , Williams. Winter nnd Yutzy 45.
Those voting for the claim were :
Baker , Bailey , Bookman , Berry , Bohacek ,
Brnucht , Burnhaui , . Cameron , Caldwell of
Clay , Coleman of Antelope , ColemanofPolk ,
Collins , Gushing , Denman , Dempster , Dick
inson , Dillor. . Dunn , Floldgrovo , Fuller ,

Mr. Speaker.
The claim of T. P. Kennard for 811,000 for
alleged services many years ago in connec
tion with the payment by the government of
a certain per cent of school lands belonging
to the Indian reservation that were dis
posed of , came up Thursday evening. Gil-
bert. of Vork , made a lengthy and exhaus
tive speech against the claim , strongly in
sisting that no such amount as Kanunrd
claimed was justly duo , but the house re
fused to indefinitely postpone the whole
matter by arioso voto. Brink submitted a
proviso cancelling the contract under which
the alleged claim originated , which was
adopted , nnd , without reading a final-vote the
bouse adjourned. *
The persistence of the lobby in pushing
bills of this character has given a decided
impetus to the movement to establish court
of claims to be composed of the judges of the
district court , and the legislature mil hardly
adjourn until this measure becomes a law.
Hall's maximum tariff bill for the regula
tion of freight rates was' amended by insert
ing a provision authorizing the board of rail
way commissioners by a four-fifths vote to
raise the rates established by law when
proven to bo too low , nnd recommended for
passage by the committee of the whole.
Tlio present live stock sanitary commis
sion got a vigorous shaking up In the house
this week. This department asked for
$30,000 to continue Its work , and a bill cham
pioned by Majors was passed repealing all
the law creating tbo commission except tlio
quarantine features and the office of state
veterinary surgeon , and reducing the total
expanses to $10,000.
A bill for $2,600 annual salary for the fctato
veterinarian in addition to the above , was
afterwards allowed by a close vote in spilo
of the .viperous opposition of Majors , who
thought the whole business was simply a
costly farce and of no real benefit to the far
mers.
The house , by nn overwhelming majority ,
refused to vote the $30.000 for insurance on
state property. The idea Is quito prevalent
ainongtho members that the state can afford
to do its own Insuring. Even the item of
(5,000 for Inspecting Tind insuring boilers
was not allowed , The rccont explosion at
the Lincoln insane asylum has frightened the
legislators , and both houses have substan
tially agreed to allow an appropriation for a
a bailer house at each state institution. Even
the boilers are to bo pulled out under the
capital building. It has loaitod out that
during the present session the boilers under
apart of the building were in such condition
that the parties in charge ran away through
fear of an explosion , and the solouu do not
propose to subject themselves to any un
necessary danger , So the boilers will have
to go. '
The legislature will certainly adjourn this
week , but no ono can toll on what day. An
effort will bo made by the houao to fix
Thursday or Friday , but the senate holds the
matter In its own hands nnd will fix the hour
to suit its own convenience.
Floldgrovo .
Ltucoi-V , Neb. , March SI. [ Special to Tun
BEE. ] Mr. Fiohlgrovo of Buffalo is do- .
cldddlyout of humor with legislative ex
travagance. Ho thinks the number of em
ployes in the house is beyond all reason. In
exploring somewhere in the upper regions ho
found six clerks in ono small room and asked
thorn how they managed to use ono room.
They told him that ono worked at a tlmo.
Ho failed to aeo why ono could not do all the
work for these committees , and told them so.
Then the number of pagoi bewilder him.
They go In droves , nnd instead of having ono
assigned to each section , thuy come In
legions and battalions. It Is safe to say that
should Mr. Ficldgrovo bo retained two years
houco , ho will make it warm for legislative
supernumeraries.

RAINFALL CHARTS AND TABLES.
An Opinion on tlio Question of In
creasing or Decreasing the lltxln-
fall In tlio So-Cnllotl Amer
ican Desert.
Some Delusions Dispelled.
WASHINGTON , March 31. In pursuance of
a resolution Introduced by Senator Mitchell ,
there has boon printed a letter from General
Grcoly , of the signal service , uuon tbo rain
fall of the Pnclflo slope and the western
states nnd territories. Accompanying Gen
eral Grccly's ' letter Is a paper by Lieutenant
Glnssford , of the signal service , discussing
the causes of tbo wet nnd dry seasons , the
abundance and deficiency in the different
portions of the rainy season in Arizona , etc. ,
fortified with charts and tables exhaustive
of the subject. These tables cover
observations from 001 stations of
nn average length of seven years
and three months , and the charts show
separately the maximum , minimum and moan
rain fall for every month and year. >
The terms of the resolution made It General - '
oral Grcoly's duty to "express his view upon
the importance and vnluo of these charts nnd
tables , nnd also Inforoutlally to express bis
opinion on the question of recurring droughts
in Texas , ana In relation to the vexed ques
tion of inct easing or decreasing the rain fall
In the arid or sub-humid regions of the
United States. Pursuanfto this instruction.
General Urooly discusses the matter at great
length. Ho says :
"Ono of the great results which must re
bound to the benefit of the trans-Mississippi
and trans-Missouri country by the publica
tion of this official anta will be its dispelling
of erroneous nnd Injurious impressions wbicu
have long prevailed regarding this extensive
rcpion. In the early century this territory
was viewed as hardly suited for civilized
man , its enormous plains and vast mountains
bolng represented as arid and desert regions
unsulted for cultivation , and in tunny cos cs
oven Unfit for pasturago. Adventure , cxnlo-
ration nnd. circumstance have pushed
the frontier westward uutll the
myths of the great American
desert , to the north and of the rainless
"staked plains" to the south have practi
cally disappeared. It is none the less true ,
however , that the latest ana most reliable
American text : book of meteorology of this
country speaks of the aro.is "between the
Sierra Ncvadas and Rocky mountains , In
cluding portions o/ Utah , Now Mexico and
California , as n region which is almost des
titute of rain1 ' and that , further , on the
east side of the Rocky mountains "tho coun
try is a barren desert almost without
rain.
rain."Another
"Another great value of the charts is
bringing to general attention very extensive
areas of country in what has been known as
the arid region , whore late -and careful ob
servations have shown the rainfall to have
been far greater than has been usually at
tributed , and thus transfer thcso areas to
the sub-humid districts. "
The chief signal o dicer puts it forward as
his opinion that when Idaho , Nevada , Utah ,
Now Mexico and Arirona shall have been
covered with rain guagcs as completely ns
wow York or New .England , the final out
come of the observation will indicate that
the actual average ot rainfall for this arid
region is now understated by the census
charts from 130 to 40 , nnd by the present
charts from 10 to ID per cent.
General Grcoly notes that observations at
sixteen stations indicate an incrcaso in rain
fall , while eight show a decrease. These
stations uro located In Texas , Nevada , New
Mexico , Indian territory , California , Arizona
and Kansas. In conclusion ho says : .
"Tho chief signal officer docs not. hesitate
to express the opinion that the trans-Missis
sippi and traps-Missouri rainfall Ms slightly
increasing as a whole , though In cortaln lo
calities it may bo slightly decreasing 'from
the , causes sot forth above , and it seems most
proper for him to put forth his strong con
viction , ovou if lt.be not a certainty , when ,
as in this case , it will tend to reassure the
agricultural population in the lately drought-
stricken districts of the wnst. There appears
no possible reason to believe that the scanty
rainfall ot the past year or two will not bo
followed by increasing precipitation in the
next few years , which will maintain its an
nual rainfall of these sections at an average ,
or oven incrcaso it. It is believed that the
interests of the entire country will bo sub
served by the publication of a largo edition
of the rainfall charts and tables accompany
ing this report.

"Webster's Cool KrTroutery.
Loxnox , March 34. Loxvis , solicitor for
the Parnolllte.v calls attention to the
"amazing nnd Important misstatemont"
with reference to Piarott , which was made
by * Attorney General Webster ia the com
mons last Friday . He said that the letter re
ferred to by Webster ns having boon placed
in Sir Charles Russoll's hands five days
before Plgott'fl oppgaranco In the witness box
was a letter from.Soamos , solicitor for the
Times , to Pigott , nnd that t\\a other letters
from PIgott to Soamcs , in-which Plgott nd-
rnlttcd that ho feared to undergo a cross-
examination , were withheld by the Times'
lawyers. Lowls says it is a fact that neither
the counsel or solicitor for the Parnollltos had
notice of the co-exlstcnco of these two let
ters until Plirott had decamped.
Attorney General Webster , replying to
Lewis , writes that ho believes that he
handed to Sir Charles Russell the letters to
which Lowls refers , but that ho will have to
refer to his 'short hand notes for confirma
tion. In any case ho says the mat
ter is not Important , because
none of the letters would have
Justified tha withdrawal of Pigott from tho' '
witness box ; ana further , Sir Charles Rus
sell elected not to have the letters read until
Pitrott wut in the box .
Hoaincs * letter to Plgott contained a prom-
iio that no harm would oomn to Plgott
through the latter's testifying before the
Parnoll commission : Tliero was no allusion
in the letter to the character of the evidence

Nell Nelson , ono of the Now York
World's brilliant lady rcportoi flrccontly ,
visited ono of the fnshlonnblo Joplum
jolntsln the metropolisnndglvos the fol-
lowlnp graphic account of the strange
sights she Bfuv there :
The apartment , or jolntas , it Is called ,
resembles ns no ar as can bo described
the interior of a sleeping car , omitting
the upper berths nnd all partitions. At
olthor end wcro the private rooms , just
nboui the slzo of the stnto room in a
sleeper , each close.d anil locked on the
occupants , nnd beyond , extending the
whole length of the floor , were the open
bunks extending down both sides of the
narrow nlslo. Some idea of the con
tiguity 9f thcso bunks can bojhad when
I toll you that the overhanging foot of
the men In the opposite sections almost
touched ns they smoked , and In adjoin
ing beds men caressed the hands of
fholr reclining neighbors who dosed
under the influence of the drug.
The don proper Is at the roar end of
the place nnd is as largo as all the
small rooms put together. Before the
door loading to this room hangs a
Chinese portiere of porcelain beads ar
ranged so ns to represent a hanging
garden. Alon g the wall on each sldo.at
intervals of about fifteen inches , small
gus-jets nppeaf , covered by green and
rod globes. These lamps are lit
early in the evening , nnd as the
smokers rapidly illl the placfl
they are extinguished , ns a sullleiont
light is given by the small cottonseed
oil lamps used by the smokers in cook
ing the drug. Sometimes the gas jots
are loft burning by a careless attendant
who has become a slave to the habit ,
and with their sickly green and flam
ing red hues flickering away , almost
hidden by the dense sinoko of the
opium , the place has u weird nnd horri
ble appearance.
The bunks are laid out with the heads
commencing attho wall. Therefore on
each side of the room there extends a
huge bunk. The two bunks almost meet
each other at the end , and it gives the
appearance of a second flooring , with a
small isle cut through the center. This
passageway is so narrow that two per
sons cannot walk down It abreast , nnd
ditllculty is often experienced in pass
ing. The bunk is not divided into com
partments and the early comers have
the choice of soft spots on the hard
cushions. The pillows , however , nro
very soft , and arc covered with bright
red jute cloth. The walls are papered
very gorgeously , and from the center
of the coiling hangs a group of Chinese
lanterns , whose weird nnd mellow light
greatly add to the unnatural Bceno.
"We wqro..asiiigned to a bunk at the
extreme end of the den , where the
gloom favored observation and pro
tected our scrutiny. The men throw
themselves across the bunk , with the
bolster for their headrest , and wo ar
ranged ourselves Turk fashion on the
other side. Presently nn attendant ap
peared with the layout pipe , lamp ,
shell of opium , sponge and cigarette
on a hammered tray. Jim proceeded
to cook a pill and wo women gazed
about with wonderment , almost afraid
to use our eyes. The scene bailies de
scription. There were in all about
sixty people , twenty of them young
women.
In ono bunk lay a beautiful girl , her
head resting on one man's breast , her
feet across the knees of another , who
was holding the pipe. Her dress was
unfastened , her hair fell about her face
nnd nock , and her eyes were closed as
she inhaled the burning pill : Her com
panion on whom she rested was as
nearly like dead as any living being
could bo posed. Adjoining this couple
was n trio less stupiilcd. The man
must have been n Titan , for his feet ex
tended beyond Uhe edge of his bunk.
Ho had removed coat , collar and shoos ,
and the extreme dilation of the pupils
ol his eyes was proof enough of his bOini-
intoxicalion. lie supported himself on
his elbow and with ono hand held the
pipe over the lamp , packing the pill
iuto.the orifice with the other , while a
woman , possibly thirty , exhausted it.
She , too , lay with her dress open , her
hair tossed and her eyes closed , utterly
insenblblo'to anything but the ostacy of
t ho draught.
Six men were coiled about ono
another like human snakes in u third *
bunk and all wore partially undressed.
About 1 o'clock the crowd began to
come in , a burr burr-r like the alarm of
a telephone announcing each new
comer. But they were not new
comers , as their manners showed. Both1
men and women began disrobi.ng the
moment they reached the "joint. " and
collars , gloves , hats , shoos and wrap ?
were stowed away in a corner and the
"layout" impatiently demanded.
Two young women wore admitted tea
a private room , and shortly three men
joined them. 'A girl in beach shocsand
n blue veil came In with two society
men , who were in evening dross and
had promised to tench her the fun.
They occupied n room together and
wore served with cigarettes , wlno and
cnlco. Every tray had a package of
cigarettes , and between turns all
smouod , the women us excessively us
the men. They oinoiced lying on their
backs , .often expelling the sinoko
through their nostrils and curs.
I saw u man drop lila pipe to extin
guish a spark that had fallen from his
friend'tf elgarotto and was burning in
her yellow hair. The women may or
may not have been of the unfortunate
class , but all showed evidences of ru-
ilnod surroundings , anu their stockings
for nil feet were unbhod were Bilker
or line thread , their nkirLu wcru bil
lowy with lace edge * , the average drubs
had the stamp of nrtUtlo bkill , and
while there were no gorgeous toiluts
there wuro no homo products.
TSTow and then a veiled Judy appeared ,
ulster wrapped , attended by one or two
men in evening dress and quietly on-
torcu ono of the private rooms. It was
hinted that they came from the theater ,
but that is a question. All classes were
represented by Iho men tu > tUtBriic > torB ,
artiznns , bankers , merchants , uutliora ,
club members and men about town gen
erally. The most lamentable sight ,
however , was that of tlio young men
scarcely twonty-ono , who came from
diincoH , c'ltiha , the play and the opera in
groups of six and ICSH. Ono paid the
pureon , another bought the driijhs and
the rest mudo up a puree for u cArriago.
Scarcely a bound was to bo-Heard ; bar
ring the low moan of aomo i/h-l pleading
for "u " remonbtrfttlnir
pill" or against
the annoyance of a miy.'lilovoua ' coin-
ratio"Glvo mo a buttou > hook ! " "Tlo
thlsl" "Help mo on wi.h { my coatl"
' Put oil uiv cloves ! " or some similar 1
request comprises the general conversa
tion hoard through the thin partition
or from an open bunk.
The solo proprietor I understood to
bo .fames McNally , who , prior to open
ing the joint , had made all arrange
ments for "polico protection. " This
MoNnlly Is n woll-iniown character ,
having boon closely identified with the
"green goods" business and other
crooked nfTalra for years. lie formerly
ran n pool-room In this same apartment
In violation of the law ) and was raided
there by Anthony Comstock.
It is stated that ho pays $75 n month
for the rent of this apartment and 8100
a month for police ' 'protection. " The
profits' of the establishment are enor
mous. The shell of opium Unit ho re
ceives fifty cents for costs about nine
teen cents , the quantity being , in Chinese
"ton-foun. " it Is
nese weight , - . When
understood that three cans of opium ,
costing $3.7o per can , and containing
400 foun each , nro consumed every
twenty-foul1 hours , n fair Idea of the
rush of business may bo gained.
At the extreme end of the apartment
Is an ill-looking room called the "of
fice. " Hero are kept the paraphernalia ,
opium nnd refreshments , anil the presiding -
siding genius Is n beetle-browed indi
vidual who answers to the name of
"Stokcsy. " Ills duty , aside from preparing -
paring the pipes nnd "lay out , " and
weighing out the opium , Is to ofilcmlo
as bartender.
Hero I might mention that any liquor ,
from champagne to soda water , is sold
at all hours of the day and night , evi
dently without legal authority , for I
carefully scrutinized every part of the
room and could sofa no license. Cigars
and cigmoUcs of various brands are also
sold under the same conditions.
A BIO RiUlJKOAD
Tlio Wipoonaln Central Ijoasod by the
Northern Pnclflo. '
Piin.ADBr.riiu , March 24. A reporter for
the Knqulrcr to-day learned from a well-
known railroad man that the Northern Pa
cific railroad company has at last secured
control of the Wisconsin Central railroad ,
nnd through It nn entrance to Chicago. The
Enquirer will glvo tha following details of
the lease :
C. C. Wheeler , formerly general manager
of the Atuhison , Topeka & Santa Fo road ,
has spent ttiroo months in nn examination ol
the property , connections nnd accounts
of the Wisconsin Central company. Ho went
ever every mile ot the main line and its
allied branches , uud inquired Into its re
sources and traffic connections , The result
of his Investigations has been an exhaust
ive report which will bo submitted to the
board ou Wednesday. In It ho recites the
reasons why the acquisition of the Wisconsin
Central road will bo an advantage to the
Northern Pacific company. The Chicago ,
Burlington & Qulncy , Northwestern
nnd St. Paul and other lines enter
ing at Chicago are reaching out
westward for traffic , and will , in his opinion ,
ultimately reach the Pacitlc coast and be
come trans-continental lines. The Canadian
Pacific has a Chicago outlet , and so have all
the Pacific coast lines. If the Northern Pa
cific is to maintain its position it must have
equal facilities , and Wheeler sees no other
Hue but the Wisconsin Central that can
nfford the Northern Pacific the needed out
let. The road , ho nays , is In llrst-class con
dition ; It possesses good terminals ,
ias n growing loeaP trade and is self-sup
porting. With the Influence of the Interstate
i-ommcrco law to steady rates , ho believes
that the road will be a profitable ono.
The lease Is fora comparatively short time ,
cither for thlrty-threo or nincty-iiinu years.
Tlio period has not been determined yot. It
la an operating lease ; that Is , the Northern
Pacific. is to operate the , road and
pay as1' a * rental-1 ' 35 rpor " cent' of
tho'gross receipts. Of course , nil the Worth-
em Pacille'a Chicago business xvlll bo thrown
upon the WIsconsion Central's line Instead of
of being divided up between roads
between Chicago and St. Paul. The
loasowlll add to the Northern Pacific system
707 miles ofroad including 344
miles of the Wisconsin Central rail
road , 187 miles of' leased lines nnd
230 of afliiliatcd roads. With it also comes
.tosscsslon . of c.xtcnsivo terminal facilities at
Chicago , formerly owned by the Chicago &
Great Western railroad , which are , con
stantly Increasing in value , as well as valua
ble terminals at Milwaukee.

wcro also a number of confederate -

things , hosnld :
' Sectionalism is being fast obliterated

After reviewing the great commercial
prospects of the south , its dc ) > cndciico upon
the north , nnd the negro question , Stewart
concluded ns follows ;
"While wo would tight and dlo yes , , wo
mean It , die , If need be to maintain the
honor nnd integrity of that grand old Hag ,
wo will over cherish the tcndcrest recollec
