THE OMAHA DADDY BEE : WEDNESDAY , JAJNUAKtf 21 , 1891.
the time for the joint convention
might be presented to the proper officers for
their signatures , are the subject of no small
amount of criticism from those who have set
their hearts upon capturing the stnto ofllccs.
These gentlemen nro universally regarded as
the most conscientious members of cither
house , nnd their fealty to the independent
party Is ohly exceeded by their regard for
the constitution , which they have sworn to
support. They give the following reasons
for voting against the dictates of the party
cnucui :
Senator Heck 1 think the constitution re
quires that iho concurrent rcBolulion should
bo signed both by the presiding officer of the
fionalo and thogovcrnor. I dent see how this
can bo made any plainer , and I believe in ob
serving the constitution nnd obeying the
laws.
Senator Coulter In accordance with my
understar.dlng of the constitution nnd stat
utes , a concurrent resolution , providing for
this joint convention , having passed both
houses of the legislature nnd not having been
signed by Iho proper ofllccra I must vote
"aye. "
Senator Taylor I want to nnd do Intend to
vote with the Independents , but when they
attempt to disregard the plain letter of the
constitution nnd the laws they must excuse
mo. I have read these provisions carefully
and can reach but ono conclusion. I have al
ready submitted to the dlctntlon of the cau
cus In several Important matters where there
wns a chance for nn honest d I ( Terence of opin
ion , but In this casono two constructions can
bo placed upon the construction of the law.
Wo should have no other guide than the
plain provisions of the constitution. The
crack "of the party whip , or the thient con
tained in the nlllanco extra , have no power to
deter mo from doing my duty.
Senator Illll-I nm decidedly weary with
being led by the no.io by these Incompetent
attorneys , nnd am going to use my own com
mon scnso nnd put my own construction on
the constitution in the future. Lot them
present the resolution to LIcntenantGovcrnor
Majors nnd ho will sign it as lha constitution
proscribes. My reason forvotlmr the way I
did Is slintily this : I do not propose to violate
late the plain letter of the law.
Senator Michcncr Thoconstltiitlou plainly
says thnt every bill nnd concurrent resolution
must ho slg.ied bv the presiding ofllcerof
each house , nnd when I learned that Mnjors
had not signed the resolution I could not do
otherwise Hum vote as I did. I believe In
living up to tbo plain letter of the cous'.itu-
tion.
tion.Senator
Senator Collins , In a subsequent conversa
tion , gave expression to the following :
"The whole programme has been a failure
from beginning to end. I bollovo If wo had
taken that evidence nnd the plain letter ot
the statute and gone ahead , wo would have
bcon all right. But wo have listened and
followed the advice of a gang of attorneys
who arc continually leading us into trouble.
I don't bollovo they care n cent who Is gov
ernor ; all Ihoy want is a little notoriety , and
to got their fingers Into the public treasury ,
but for one , I will never vote them a single
penny. I am becoming indignant over tba
way things are managed , and If this contest
fulls through It will bo ttio fault of those who
insist on proceeding in nn unconstitutional
inntiior. | "
Senator Tulnor says ho does not believe the
proceedings would bo legal unless the con
current resolution is signed by the proper of
ficers , and nil this would bo a waste of time.
Jlo thinks it is high time the legislature is
getting down to business.
Hepresontntlvo Williams of Franklin , after
carefully examining the matter , is firmly
convinced thnt the concurrent resolution
must first bo signed by the proper olllcorsbo-
, fore It will have any binding force. Dobson
and Ferchtingor take the uamu view of the
case. Mr. Galognvo the following explana
tion of his vote :
"I vote 'nyo' bccnuso the constitution and
the laws , as I understand them , will not per
mit mo to vote otherwise. "

Independent Ijimlern Uiiprcpnrod for
the Turn In Afl'alrH Yesterday.
LINCOI.X , Nob. , Jnn. 20. [ Special Telegram
to THE BKH. ] The independent loaders were
unprepared for the motion in J&Int session tp
take a recess , and the discovery that the
party lash could not keep nil the indepen
dents in line against their honest
judgment has canly demoralized them.
They made no effort during the
afternoon to reform their lines ,
nnd corious charges were circulated about
the independents who voted for the recess.
Several' the leaders called on the supreme
court during the afternoon for nn interpreta
tion of the law and the constitution bearing
upon the signingof concurrent 'resolutions.
They were given to understand that if the
legislature would submit the question for
mally in writing the court would cheerfully
give nn opinion.
A caucus was nold this evening , and the
independents who voted for the recess were
upbraided with much feeling. They stood
by their guns , however , and brought ttio
.leaders to yield a point and take a new tack.
'It was argued that time might DO saved by
Belling at once an opinion from the supreme
court determining whether the concurrent
resolution needed the signature of the gov
ernor to make tbo proceedings of the Joint
convention valid. If the court de
cides thnt signature to bo necessarv , the
independents , or ouougu of them to swell the
opposition lo n majority , will vote to have the
resolution go _ through the proper routine to
come boforo'tho governor.
Considerable bitterness was developed In
, trying to settle who was to blame for
tho. failure to present the resolution
to Lieutenant Governor Mnjors for
his sign uturo. Senator" Bock and others In
sinuated that it had been spirited out of the
senate without their knowledge. The action
of the independents In preventing the resolu
tion from going to Majors and Doyd is largely
a matter of prldo. As ono of iho
loaders said tonight , " 'Wo voted in
the other Joint convention not to recognize
Boyd. wo are on record to that effect , and
wo have got to bo consistent. Mnjors is also
a do facto officer , and to bo thoroughly con
sistent wo should not recognize him. "
The republican contcstces and their attor
neys held a conference tonight to consider
the rules the independents propose trying lo
force upon the convention. The contestees
will propose lo moot the independents in a
spirit of comproinito. They will offer to re
consider that part of Swltzlor'a resolution
elution which prevents cither house
from meeting separately , nnd will pave
theway to have the concurrent
resolution go properly to Major's and then to
Boyd. They will ask to have the night ses
sion omitted , Out have the afternoon session
extended to 0 o'clock ' instead. They want all
the evidence read. They will bo willing
to dispense with arguments nnd will
propose that no attorneys bo allowed
oa the fioor the contcstces consider the vote
to take a recess nn evidence that there are
enough fair mlndod Independents to try the
case justly , nnd they nro ready to
go ahead wlttt it. But they want
the Jury to nnvo all the ovl-
denco nud determine for itself -what
is immaterial , instead of letting pettifogging
lawyers doeldo that. Ono of the Inde
pendent rules permits the contcstco to offer
cross-examinations , but not until hours
after the reading of the direct testimony that
they nro intended to rebut. This rulotho
contostccs will light to the bitter end.

LINCOLN , Nob. , Jan. 20 , [ Special to TUB
Br.s.J The independents were surprised to
find la this morning's BKE a forecast of their
purpose In the conduct of the contest , as
agreed on in their caucus last night , and that
forecast is shown to have been substantially
correct by their action in the Joint conven
tion. "When Speaker Elder appointed a com-
mlttco to formulate rules for the convention
the whole atlalr hnd been cut and dried.
The rules to bo reported by the com
mittee bad been prepared nnd already
determined on by the independents ,
and the appointment of the committee was a
pretense of fairness.Vhcn tbo committee
went into session the Independents presented
a sot of typo-written rules filling two or
three pages. Sonalor Van Ilouscn ( dorn ) re

Will "Work for Woman
Lixcoi.x , Nob. , Jan. 20. [ Special lo THE
DKIS.I Deacon Hardy , Iho well known pro-
hlblllonlsl , feels very much discouraged over
the future prospects.of his party and of stat
utory prohibition. In conversation with a
UEH reporter today bo expressed himself in
the following language :
"We have Riven up all hopes of securing
statutory prohibition from this legislature ,
and will make no attempt lo press such a
measure. Wo have decidsd to concentrate
nil our energies in favor of the bill grant ing
municipal suffrage to women. Wo aroRoing
to moss our forces and work the Independ
ents. Mrs. Helen M. Gougur is coming hero
a Aveelc from Tuesday nnd stay with
the legislature until iho malter is decided.
Wo don't expect any help from the demo
crats , and not much from the republicans ,
but it won't ' hurt the independent party any
to pass this measure. This will bo the enter
ing wcdgo towards securing full suffrage for
women , and when this is once accomplished ,
wo can carry prohibition. "
When asked about the future prospects of
the prohibition party , ho said :
"Wo made a mistake in our last campaign.
Wo ounhttohnve fought forourticUct llrst.
and the amendment , afterwards. If wo had
not made ourselves so prominent tbo amend
ment would have received more votes. But
Ibcn wo are not dead. AVe are going lo keep

to TUB Buc. ] The call of the house was
made at the afternoon session , which resulted
in the sergeaut-at-arms bringing In the ab
sent members who constituted tbo elections
committee and pleaded an excuse
on account of committee work. A
tcccss of twenty minutes being taken
to give the committee time to complete its re
port , upon reassembling the republicans ,
with the assistance of the independents , were
nblo to secure a vote on senator which re
sulted In Moody M : Prcstonv3 ; Melville , ! ;
Glfford , i ; Elliott , 1 ; Harden , 22 ;

Campbell , 1 ; Dye , 1 ; Tripp , 10. The first
five candidates were republicans , Speaker
Sownrd vollng for Congressman Gilford.
The next six were independents nnd show
their vollng strength. The Tripp vote repre
sents democratic votes. The result was as
expected and according to figures which last
night's caucusses made reasonably certain.
Immediately after the vote the combine
called up the report of the elections commit
tee nnd by a viva voice vote carried Its re-
pott against the seating of Sol Starr , Iho
contestant for McLcods seat from Lawrence
county. The report on live other contcsianls
from Lawrence county then came up , nnd
there were majority and minority reports.
The republicans filibustered for a llmo for
Hie proper of consideration of tbo t\vo re
ports and were finally successful lu adjourn
ing to 10 o'clock tomorrow morning.
There are those who think that this , not
withstanding the largo majority that the
combine has , indicates that the sitting
inombers from Lawrence counly will not bo
unseated. They say that there is a wheel
within n wheel. The lenders of the Inde
pendents and democrats , bucked by all their
members on Ino elections committee , say
that the case of the five contesting
membcis Is Just and that Ihoy
will bo seated , although Moody
'
may yet poll a full republican voto. It i's
ditUcultto sea how ho can sccuro enough
others to elect him.
In the sennto the Joint resolution for the
enlargement of Fort Mcado passed. The

AHANSAS HAUHOK , Tex. , Jan. 20. [ Special
Telegram to TUB DEE. ] The c6mmlsslon ap
pointed by the government to select n loca
tion for a government dry dock ? arrived hero
in a special car Friday evening and took
their departure this morning. Two days
were spent in making' an examin
ation of the mainland inside of Ar-
ansns Pass , the double track rail
road being built from this city to deep
water , also tbo wjatcrs in Aransas Harbor.
The fact thai Aransns Harbor is tbo most
securely landlocked of any on the Texas
coast , with four miles of dockage on water
ihat will float the largest gunboats made ; it
being the nearest United States harbor to
Mexico , the Central nnd South American
stales and Its connection with ttio main
land by a double track railroad , In connection
with other natural ndvantaccs , lends our
people to bollovo that wo will draw tbo prize.
While the members of the commission wet o
non-committal it Is entirely safe to predict
that the location of the silo lies between New
Orleans and Aransas Harbor , with the
natural advantages In favor of the latter
placo.

ground that ho WIIB out of order.
Then Mr. Mills strode down the nlslo , Blink
ing his list at the speaker , nnd poured out
volumes of denunciation , accusing him of
practicing fraud on the house. The demo
crats cheered , hut the speaker Impertubiibly
honllnucd counting nnd announced the mo
tion carried.
The vcas and nays were demanded by the
democrats and ordered , and as the clcrit pro
ceeded with the roll-call Mr. Mills continued
his denunciation. Itoferring to Mr. JlclCln-
ley ho snld : "Wo did not expect the Konlle-
man from Ohio to lend himself to such a pro
ceeding , for wo believed him nn honorable
gentleman , and wo know ho ( indicating the
speaker ) was not. "
After sotno further debate Mr. Kerr of
Iowa said : "Such proceedings as these nro
treasonable and they nro headed by a mim
who helped treason before. "
Air. JVillls replied : ' 'You arc n traitor
yourself to the constitution ana laws. You
nro trying to surround the ballot box with
bayonets nnd deprive the people ot the right
of representation. "
This was greeted with enthusiastic demo
cratic applause , whllo the republicans de
parted to the bar of the house and announced
thulr disapproval by lusty hisses , i'amlo-
monlutn prevailed' and affairs llnully
approached so near a personal
rupture that the speaker was
obliged to call upon tno serpoant-at-nrms for
assistance. That ofllcer , bearing his mace In
front of him. induced Air. Mills to take his
scat. The Journal was approved 144 to 10.1
and the house \vont Into the committee ol

after the morning' ' business was disposed of ,
Mr. Aldrich moved that the senate proceed
to the consideration' of the resolution to
change the rules , \yhlch was agreed to.
Mr. Harris rose to n question of order and
said that the notice given did not call atten
tion to" that part ot nn.v ' rule proposed to bo
modltled , but simply 16ft , the chair and eacn
senator to find it out fft himself. He argued
that the motion was not. sufficiently specific.
The discussion was proceeding when at 3
o'clock the elections bill came up and Mr.
Gcorgo took the floor to continue his speech.
After ho had spoken three hours and a half
Mr. Uutlcr ( with n view to giving him a
rest ) , asked him to yield the floor

Mr. Qeorgo assented , but after the secretary

that the chapter was not the 0110 ha meant ,
and ho said ho would rend it himself.
Before ho began Mr. Morgan claimed the
floor on the election bill , but iho vice presi
dent said ho bad Mr. Aldrleh's name next on
the list.
Mr. Morgan protested against this parcel-
lug out of the floor.
The latter ngnin offered to yield to Mr.
Butler , but Mr. Hoar objected , stating that
under such an arrangement n senator might
hold the floor for a whole session.
The vice president announced that the
senator from Mississippi was entitled. to the
floor , and after a long argument at to yield
ing the vice president said : "Tho chair Is of
the opinion that a senator entitled to the floor
cannot transfer the right to any other sen
ator. "
Mr. George took the floor nnd , picking up a
pile of manuscript , began to read n ulssor-
union upon the origin &nd history of African
slavery in the United States. After some
time ho complained of weariness and asked
whether Butler might read for him so that
ho could rest. Mr. Aldrich objected , and
Mr. George resumed. After ten minutes
more rending Mr. Aldrich asked If Mr.
George would yield for a motion to take up
the resolution referring to cloturo. Mr.
George , with an air of weariness , said ho. be
lieved ho would. Mr. Aldrich then
moved that the senate proceed to
the consideration of the resolution ,
and after much further discussion the vice
president nut the question. There was a
response of ayes followed by one of noes , and
the vice president said the ayes rppcared
to Imvo it.
Then Mr. Morean pressed his claim for
recognition and Messrs. Butler nnd Hansom
insisted on knowing bow Mr. George was
loft by the agreement.
A long parllamontry struggle ensued ,
which was finally terminated on a motion
by Mr. Aldrich that the sonata adjourn.
The vice president put the question nnd de
clared the senate adjourned ,
After the vice president left the chair Mr ,
Ransom declared emphatically to the secre
tary that the result of the vote on taking
up the resolution had , not been declared by
the vice president. . Others argued that ft
was , but Mr. Hadgcei may bring up the

CHICAGO , Jan , i0. ! The Chicago gas trust
has decided to surrender its charter and wind
up business ns soon ns pf"ilblc. This wns
decided upon at a recent meeting of the
directors , but Is Just made public. The anti
trust laws , us expounded in the recent de
cision of the Illinois supreme court , showed
that the trust could not legally hold stock ot
its constituent companies , and the directors
were probably further spurred to action
by the recent announcement of Attorney
General Hunt thnt bo would bopln quo war-
runto proceedings. President Hillings says
an effort will be made to orpuil/o a now cor
poration In n form which will comply with
iho law. The dclalls are not yet mapped out.
Iu regard to thoolTect the dissolving of the
trust would have on the stock bo thought It
could not bo hurt any. As It is based on the
properties of the different companies In the
trust , any dissolution of the form of the trust
will not affect it. In Iho plan of rcotganlza-
llsn It is understood that the individual com
panies will retain tho'r ' ideutity.
