U OtlK The Ucspoiislblllty 1'or Ke.sults Xow Upon the Legislature. LINCOLN , Nob. , Jan. 14. [ Special to THE Bin : The State Kellof association Is about to break up. President Martin tendered his resignation today and other members nro dis heartened and indignant over the course pur sued by the legislature in foiling to act promptly and provide tbo ways and means for continuing the work. The committee has expended all tbo money on hand and has distributed all the supplies. This morning a paper was handed to the committee bearing the signatures of twenty- four members of the senate and llfty-llvo members of the house , on which tbo signers uskcd the committee to borrow tbo money needed for the relief work temporarily , nnd pledging the legislature to pass u bill with nn appropriation just as soon as it can do so con sistently. This really is Interpreted as meaning that the independents do not propose to pass the relief bill until after they tmvo gone through with the contest for governor and state olll- cors , because the bill cannot become a law until It is signed by the governor , and they do not want to ask Uoyd to sign It because It would bo n recognition of him as governor. A member of tbo committee was asked what they proposed to do. "Wo rein do noth ing. Wo cannot raise money on such n paper. Tlio banks nro not , lending money now , even to their own customers , and they would not likely lend us 550,000 or § 100,000 on promise * of members of the legislature that they will pass a bill some ( if these days. We can't buy groceries nnd provisions on such pledges anil wo cannot personally go security when wo do not know whether the bill will pass In n week or in sixty days.

A very full discussion was bad in regard to the drought sufferers , not only by the board but by the other gentlemen present , at the close of which lion. O. 1' . Mason , A. .1. Sawyer , C. W. Moaner , U. it. Kandall and Uov. George W. Martin wore appointed a committee to draft an emergency bill in the interests of the drought sufferers. The following resolution waa iilso adopted : Hi-solved , That wu roqtii'st. Congressmen- olcetV. . A. McKulKhun , O. M. Koin and W. J. llryantu proceed ut once to Washington nnd nw > tlio passage of , i bill in congretp as set forth la .the memorial passed by tbo scuato and liouso of representatives of onr state. Dr. Martin presented a report of tbo work < tone nnd especially of the situation in the northwest , nnd then presented his form.il resignation as superintendent of relief , stat ing that slnco OctnborL'O , 1S90. in compliance with an nn order of Governor Tlinyor , ho had been ut work visiting the drought-stricken portions of our state , personally superin tending the work of relief. Now that the legislature has convened and his duties at the reform school making it almost imperative , ho begged the board to accept hU resignation that bo might return once inoro to his work nt the reform school. After earnestly urging Ur. Martin to withdraw his resignation , Ihul- Ing that it was of no avail , the board accepted it. At the close of some remarks by lion. A. J.

The ofllcea of superintendent of relief nnd superintendent of distribution were then dis continued , and Kov. Luther P. Luddcn was elected as general manager of the relief work of thestnto. The exccuttvo hoard felt that It was abso lutely necessary that Dr. Martin should re turn once moro to the northwestern part of the state , and ho was appolntea a special committee to look after tbu refugees In that part of the country. Ho will proceed atoueo upon the discharge of these duties. All parties having business with the state relief work are requested to note tlio change and address their letters accordingly , so as to save delay In receiving response theroto. The members of the board declare that Dr , Martin really deserves more than the thanks of the executive board for the marked ability that ho has shown in pushing forward tills work. In closing his report he paid n , high compli ment to those who huvu been associated with him in the work of gathering nnd distribut ing supplies , and to the superintendent of the industrial school , Prof. John T. Mallaliou , and his coworkers and the local clergv of Kearney , who for the sake of the relief work have performed many of his duties nnd made it possible for him to servo our unfortunate citizens , _ No Appointments ilcoognized.

After hearing the ruling of the supreme court rec ognizing Boyd as governor do factottvoorslx indepc'iuloiits uro said to uavu been rather wabbly on the matter. A caucus was held last night , and it is reported on credible au thority that the wavering Independents were whipped back into the traces , This Information afforded temporary relief to n number of republicans holding oftlco by appointment. It is reasonably certain that any appointment nindo by Governor Uovd will not bo confirmed by the senate until tlio present state of ntfnlrs U changed. Surprise has been expressed nt the delay in introducing a bill making na appropriation for the drouth sufferers. Resolutions have been passed committing the loclslaturo to the proposed relief , and n majority of tbo inem- licrs of each house have signed a paper pledg ing thomsulvos to vote lor un appropriation of § 100,000 for that purpose. A gubernatorial siuimturo Is necessary to put such a bill into etfect , but the indcp iidcnts nro barred from asking Governor Hoyd by their denial of his right to the chair bo occupies.

Tlio immediate cause of his death was heart failure.

Kvarts. It Is understood thut there has boon a consultation of lending Now York democrats wlliiln the last few days , and that Governor Hill and ether ambitious men in the state hnvo decided to hand the honor over to Mr. Holmont as a jwndtdato upon whom all may affectionately uuUc. Mr. llcl- inout Is not only friendly to Governor lltll , but Is also a gro.it favorite with Mr. Cleveland. Kx-Privato Secretary Lament is credited with having brought about this arrangement. Colonel Lninont was hi Washington last Saturday nnd Sun day conferring with li'iiding democrats ou this subject. If Mr. Helmont had not boon the son of a father ho would have a greater reputation than ho enjoys. Ho is n man of gomiltio ability , a student oul : it scholar and Is much tnoro thoroughly educated In politi cal economy and the topics of statesmanship than most men of his years , but the fact that ho enjoys so largo a fortune and was the son nf the wealthiest banker in the United States prevented him from receiving the credit that ho would hnvo received otherwise. rmiMoxT'rt rrnuc nriMusu SITU AITIIOVKIJ. The secretary of the treasury has approved the location of the site for the public build ing nt Fremont , Neb. , which was recom mended by tbo special agent who had been directed by the treasury cli-parlmont to ex amine all the propositions submitted to sell land for a slto for a public building there. The site selected is the corner of Sixth nmt Broad streets. Colonel Lowe mndo a very exhaustive report upon the illll'crcnt propo sitions submitted , and after summing up what was favorable to nil , unhesitatingly rccommonucd the location at Sixth and It road for the reason that the ground nt this point was higher , that it was Iho Intersection of two of the principal business streets mid tbo nrlco at which the parties offered to sell to the government was , when compared with other property , much lower than any slto of fered having the same advantage ? . This building being located tit the homo of Mr. Dorsey , the so < rotary asked him if ho had any suggestions to offer , but bo repealed what ho had said to the supervising architect some weeks ago when the bids wcro llrst re ceived. that be was willing and anxious to have tlio department act on the merits of the several propositions nnd did not desire to in- lluonco such action in any way. The sundry civil bill will contain an item for the re mainder of the amount authorized for the construction and within a year tbo building will ho completed. SOMI : iici'uiu.icAV srurmsr.a. I.ato this afternoon a vote was taken in the senate on the Stewart amendment , which provides for free silver coinage. The amend ment wns adopted by n vote of12 to ! M , bcintf a majority of t'J in favor of tlio bill. The democrats voted for the amendment with the exception of Wilson of Maryland , Gray of Delaware and Mel'herson of New Jersey. On the republican sldo tbcro were one or two surprises. The total number of republic-ins voting for the bill was M. Mr. IJolpli of Oregon was the only senator from the Pacific slope who voted ngainst the hill. All the ether senators voted for it. Mr. Sriuiro of Washington was paired nnd some surprise was occasioned when it wns discovered that the South Da kota senators , neither of whom wcro pres ent , were both paired as against the Dill , though it is believed that were they present they would have voted for it. Mr. Wash- burn of Minnesota , who voted against his party to sidetrack the election bill in favor of the silver bill , voted against it today. The Pennsylvania senators divided. Mr. Cameron voting for'tho bill and Mr. Quay against. Much surprise was occasioned by Senator Gorman's action in withdrawing his amend ment limiting free coinage to the output of American mines. It was generally believed that this was a cotiipromtso upon which nil parties would bo able to agree , but to his surprise Air. Gor- mnn found Unit his own associates would nut support him in it and ho wns consequently compelled to withdraw it rather than to see hlmselof defeated on the amendment. The free silver bill now goes over to the house anil thi-ro is much speculation as t < i what will bo done with it. If the bill is referred to the coinage , weights and measures it will never ho reported. Should it bo sent to the committee - mitteo ou banking and currency , which would lioyond question have Jurisdiction of the sub ject on account of its banking provisions were it not 1'or tbo silver features , it may bo reported with tlio free conmgo portion stricken out. Chairman Dorsoy refused to tell your cor respondent this afternoon what his commit tee would do if the measure is referred to them , but intimated that It was strongly op posed to free coinage , yet warmly in support of the other features of the bill. Ho said that there was no question about Speaker Heed being opposed to giving a chance to any mensuro containing a free coinage provision , and that the speaker would rule out of order all olTorts made to attach fiee coinage to any ilnaiicial ineasuro which may como before tlio house1. When asKC'd what the speaker would do with n resolution or motion to discharge a committee on this bill , Mr. Horsey snld the speakern-ould iiotontcrtalnsucha proposition nnd that it wns Impossible for It to ho con sidered on tbo floor of the house. The speaker , It Is well known , has said ho would rccognizo no one In advance of acu.imiiitanco of the object hi securing recognition , and should any one attempt by trick to submit a proposition looking towards the considera tion of free coinage after having obtained tlio floor under some ether pretense he would ho promptly ruled oft the flour. The principal reason for tlio lateness nt which the if mil vote on the silver hill was reached was the deliberate plan on the part of tlm democrats to waste as much time us possible In order that Mr. Hour , whn it was understood would bo recognized by the president , would not fi-cl dlsntucd owiug to the lateness of the hour to call up the election bill. It is exp otod that ho will do so tomorrow morning. Opinion is divided ns to the "chances of the bill. It is bulloved tonight that Mr. Hoar will succeed in calling the bill up because It is generally conci-iled tliat ho has made use of.tho lust throe or foir days to post himself thoroughly on the fi'd- ings of all the republican senators and that ho is sure of enough ropiiblioaa support to call up the bill lryr two or three majority. It is notbcliovcd. however , that the oil ! will bo pressed to final p.wsaKi1 , but after KOtno dis cussion , perhaps less than a wcok , it will bo laid aside again. Mr. Halo Is becoming anxious to take up the apportionment bill and Air. Paddock Is anxious for the pure food bill. It is believed iho two bills will follow each ether In til.s ( order.
