Senator Poyntcr resumed his soafon the
floor and the president nsccinlod to the chair.
The report of tl > o coinmltteo of the whole
was made through the chulrman , Senator
Poyntcr.
Senator Swltzlcr moved that the report of
the committee of the whole bo adopted. Car
ried.
ried.Tho
The resolution was ngaln read and the
chair announced that the same having been
read a third tlmo , the question was should
the bill now pass.
The yeas and nays were demanded.
Senator Collins explained tils voto. The
constitution provided that all bills nhould bo
Bent to the governor for Ids signature ;
that that ofllcinl had live days for the exclu
sive purpose of considering those bills before
returning thuin to the legislature , in the or
dinary course of business , .sufllcicnt tlmo
would not ho allowed him In which to con
sider this bill and return it either with or
without bis approval , Hence lin could not
net on this measure In the tlmo which oh-
Valued before the date set for the
bearing of the contest. If ho
should return the resolution without
bis Rignnturo on the day after the date set
for the hearing of the contest , it would bo-
comoaltuv. The state would then have n
law on Its statute books providing for a con
test , wBen no such contest could take place.
The senator was unwilling to throw away an
opportunity to hoar n contest which had been
considered advisable. If the independents
did an ) thing of the Itind they would not only
go into the hole but would also draw the hole
in after them. Thobest way to do was to
vote down the resolution and begin do novo.
The roll call was ordered , After It hud
bee" made , nnd before tbo result ivas an
nounced , Senator 1'oyntor moved that the
resolution be recommitted to the committee
of the whole.
SonatdrSwItzlor raised the point of order
that no business could bo transacted before
the result of tbo vote was announced.
The chair considered tbo point for a few
moments , the while burying himself In the
blue boolc containing the rules of the senate.
Ilo nt length asked the secretary to
rule sr.
The secretary road
a vote was declared , bo recom-
Senator Swltzlor again rose to hLs fccfc and
stated that the chair had overlooked the fact
that the rule contemplated n resolution
originating in tno senate. The rule did not
cover the point In controversy. The resolu
tion under consideration had originated In
the lion so.
The chair again deliberated. Ho read the
rule again nnd decided that in the absence of
n rule hoarlnir directly on thn case ho would
hold that the ruling already given would
stand , and that ho would entertain Senator
Povntcr's motion.
Senator ICeiper rose to a point of order.
The rule in question required the motion to
recommit to ho made before the declaring
of the vote on the resolution. The declara
tion of the voto. It was true , hnd not been
made , but the vote hnd actually been com
pleted , which was In effect a declaration.
The chair would not recede from his posi
tion.
tion.Senator
Senator Poyntor said tbo reason ho had
moved to recommit was because the senate
did not have time to nmond the resolution
nnd send It to the governor In time to have It
signed before the tlmo sot for the contest.
If the resolution should pass as It then stood
It would deny rights to men who had
sought this contest and who were entitled
to a hearing. These men hud spent their
money in this matter and thpy ought not to
have spent It in vain , If the senate refused
to hoar the case It would act Justns n court of
Justice would In saying after having ; read the
papers , "You have no case , " and ttum take
anil throw the papers out of court. There was
no justice In such n move. The senate know
nothing about this cose save what it had
read in the papers. That was not testimony.
They did not luiow what ovhlonco these con-
testces'hnd. It was through an unforeseen
nccfilcnt that they did not have time at this
Into hour to set the matter right.
Senator Swltzleroskcd that the chair do-
cluro tbo result of the voto.
Senator ICeiper said ho wanted to know if
tlio senator ( Poynter ) was so anxious to have
the resolution recommitted for Improvement
why ho had not so moved when tbo resolu
tion was before tbo committee on the
jvholo.
Senator Poyntor said tbo reason bo had
not.douo so wns because nt the time hewas
In the chair and could not preside and mnko
a motion nt the same time.
The imlepontlqnt lobbyists wno were cx-
poricneirg some of the paugs of misery made
an attempt to tot un u laugh at tho' expense
of Senator ICeiper , but were knocked out by
the lalter'8 hasty reply to Senator Poynter.
In substnnco the reply was that If the son-
ntor from Boone wanted a rwoniuiUtnicnt
very badly ho could easily have retired from
the chair . nnd called- some other
person to preside. Ho had seen such .a
thing done several times. If these
people bad IMJOII victims of an unforscon ac
cident it wns their own fault , nnd they
should bear the consequences of the slip.
Senator Collins suld ho was In favor of do-
elding the contest on Its merits. That was
why ho contended the contest should bo car-
rloa out strlutly under the requirements of
tbo constitution. That wns why 1m was now
In favor of voting down the measure- , Intro
ducing another do novo which would bo de
prived of verbiage. The fact tlmt the senate
had taken a vote upon the matter coald bo
taken as evidence in the court.
Senator ICggloston 01 Lancaster , who had
said nothirtg during the debate , niovca that
the juotlqu to recommit ho laid on the table.
The yeas nnd nays ivoro railed for , nnd
while the veto was bulug taken Senator
Uyaart explained his vote , Some of the
members of the senate , ho sutd. wore great
constitutional lawyers , in the earlier part
of tne session there was scarcely anything
thai could 'bo done , because It was nearly all
unconstitutional. Now If thov wished to lay
claim to he leaders on n constitutional basis ,
why didn't they stand by the constitu
tion. Ho didn't bc'ilovo all tnat Is
said by those who are talking-
nbout the constitution. What they really
wanted to do wns to evade the constitution.
The Bonuti ! ought to hear the coutewt because
U hnd been begun In a legal manner , and bo-
cnusolt h.-ul licon supported by tbo people.
Ho believed that any man. on the lloor or the
Bonulo who would vote to knocic out the reso
lution would stand condemned by his con
stituents. Ilo wanted the men who were
leading to have more than n technicality to
rbungo their minds ou the subject.
Senator Uaudall of Pbelps sild that the
resolution who mi Important ono to them.
The demands of those who nslted for the con
test were Just. Tboy were Just under the
constitution , ncil the senate should nnswcr
the demands. Ho voted no.
The roll call proceeded , nnd when Tfiylor's '
imino was reached that gentleman was not In
hh cnt ,
Senator Htevcni moved n call of the house.
Senator Hwltrlor raised the point of order
that no business wa < allowable uow snvo the
continuance ot the call ,
Tbo vote to lay on the table wns finally
, and carried , ns follows :
Yens llrown , ChrlstolTerson , Collins ,
Kgglciton , Kelpor , Mattes , Moore , Schram.
Hhuimvoy. Switzler , Thomas , Turner , Van
HOUI.CII , Woods-ll. '
Nays Coulter , Day. Dysart , Hill , Mich-
cner , 1'oyntcr , lindal ! ! , Sanders , Smith ,
Stevens , Warren , Williams fJ.
Senator Swltzlor then called upon the chair
to announce the vote , which had not been an
nounced , on the motion that the resolution
pa-ss.
Senator Poynter moved ngaln to recommit
the resolution.
Scnatot Switzler Insisted upon his right to
bo heard after having been recognized by the
chair , and ngaln asked for the vote which
had nut ( icon announced.
The chair said that the motion mndo
by the senator from Uoono was ono
that ho could entertain without
failing to respect the rights of the senator
from Douglas , Ho had n.'i.'ognt/.cd the latter ,
hut tlmt did not Interfere with his listening
to the gentleman from Uoone for n moment.
He then snld that the vote on [ lie passage of
the resolution was II to U.
Senator Switzler Inoved to ndtourn.

Senator Williams of Johnson We nro some

our men went hack on tin. They have no , ex

guarantee n iniui that ho shall at least have a

our men hero will bring the Question up
ngaln , If we cannot secure n hearing we
will at least put our people on their record ,
Senator Poynter Kvcn If I boliovoi there
wns nothing in tlfo contest I would have no
right to do anything to prevent its taking
place. The constitution says that the eon-
to.it shall take place , and tlmt , is enough for
mo. Mr. Collins says that the resolution
.should bo brought up again. 1 don't know
whether ho would bring It up or not. I have
not made up my mind as to what I shall do in
the matter ,
Alodlo find ) blames the republicans , nnd

LINCOLN , Nob. , Fob. 11. [ Special Tele
gram to TUB Bnn.1 Tonight the dissatis
faction of the Independents over their defeat
led to the criticism of absent senators , as
well as of thosowlio had voted with the Boyd
men. As a consequence , it is now stated on
the authority of some of tlio sorer alliance
people that another contest resolution
wilt bo Introduced , probably tomorrow , The
resolution will origlnuto In the senate and bo
aimed so as to give Senators Horn , Stnrbucif ,
Koontz and Wilson , who were either absent
or paired , n chance to show their hands inoro
satisfactorily than they have thus far shown
them. It Is also stated that the measure will
read hko this : *

Tbo republican executive olllccn , It U said ,
nro to ho excluded . from the contest ,
with the hope of securing the
votes of republican senators and
representatives for the passage of the reso
lution. It is held that the manner In which
it Is suggested to frame the proposed resolu
tion deprives It of the appearance of n con
current measure , thus doing away with the
triple renalng In each house and enabling It
to bo passed immediately.

Korcul < u U.
LINCOLN , Nob. , Fob. 11. [ Special to THE
BKU. ] When bills on general llio In the sen
ate were announced , concurrent resolution
No. 2 was ilrst. This resolution was read.
It petitions the United States government to
.foreclose the mortgage upon tbo Union Pa-
clllo railroad.
Senator Coulter moved thnt when the com
mittee of tbo whole rose It report the hill
b ack .with the recommendation that it do
pass. .
Senator Moore said there wns a bill on the
subject ns that contained hi tbo resolu
tion before congress at tbo present limo and
ho was lacking lu Information ns to how the
resolution under consideration would affect
thnt bill nnd hoped somu senator would en
lighten him. 'i'ho senator hold in bis hand a
newspaper clipping which ho said was a
copy of the bill now in congress.
Senator Swltzlcr said that if tbo gentleman
would hand him the clipping bo would give
the Information desired. He said that the
bill before congress did not contem
plate foreclosing the mortgage of the
of the government upon the property of the
Union Pncllic , simply because the latter had
defaulted. It proposed to let the time ulapso
and then take possession , buying up the
bonds of the company and paying the out
standing Indebtedness of the road. The
mortgage did not become duo until 18J5 und
IS'.K ) nnd It was not pertinent now to make u
move to foreclose. Uutlier a resolution should
bo framed which should bo in accordance
with the hill now before congress.
Senator ICeipor said it would bo bettor to
pans the resolution , even in the light of what
hnd been said against it. The Union Pueillo
hail not compiled with the terms of Its con
tracts or Its grants , The senate ought to take
action on the Ml bloc t because of the manner
In which the road had violated every obliga
tion. Senator Hoar had said that from the
time of its inception every step had boun
attonod with fraud und that ho hud
semi htgh-inlndod Judges driven from
the courts by the threat of Impeachment.
The road had justified tbo statement that it
had been conceived la fraud and ruUod in
pcrhdy. It had mortgaged I Us lands , and
whllo the settlers of the state , sufferers from
grasshoppers and tire , wow compelled to pay
their taxes , the Union Pncltlu escaped pay
ment of its taxes , by tbo clului tlmt the tltlo
was not vested in it , uud the supreme court
of the United States had stood by It , If the
title to those lands wns not In the company ,
how could the company mortgage them. The
United States'said they should pay taxes U
thuy surveyed their lamlc , aud they escaped
tbo taxes and had all along been escaping
them. Tbo resolution under consideration
would hurt no ono , even it it should bo
passed.
Senator Mattes noted that the resolution
wns not printed and in the Illos of tbo mum-
bora , and ho was opposed to further consid
eration of the matter.
Sen ntor Swltzlor snld the IntercsU of the
United SUtcs would bo Impaired If the bill
now before congress should bo passed ,
Senator ICeiper wanted to know If Jho con
dition of the Toad had not been getting worse
nii't the audacity of tbo management greater
than over bcforo.
The senator from Douglas admitted the
truth of all the senator from 1'lorco hnd snld ,
notwithstanding tlmt tin ) resolution would ba
a detriment to the United Stales.
Senator Mattes npnin objected to the con-
slilarallon of tno resolution.
Senator Moore said hortld not wish-to ap
pear as n champion of thu Union Pad lie. Ilu
had no doubt that a great dent of wrong had
been perpetrated. ' Ho wanted to protect , the
ntelllgonco of thi ) aetmto. If tbo su-
iromo court hail decided that the tnort-
; ago of the Union Piiclfli ) could note

onlemplatcd had expired , to pnis the reo-
utlon would bo to show tlmt the senate did
ot know what the ; rights of the Un ito
States woro. Ilo wanted something to bo

clined to RVO ! any answer to the F. M. B. A.

member responded to the roll call.and the lirst
ballot showed no change , from Iho votes of
yesterday : PalmerlUl , ; Otflesby , 100 : Stclle , ! ! .
Two more ballots were taken with the same
result , but on the seventy-seventh ballot the
republicans voted for Cicero J. Liudlov. Tbo
Inrmcrs refused to change from Steilo nnd

When the Joint assembly reconvened this

at the meeting of the steering com-

is now very feeble among both sections of the

tion complain that Pnrntll is constantly niter-
ing and raising his conditions. Two points ou
which Parnell takes exception to tlio charac
ter of the assurance given by the liberal lead
ers nro , it Is said , the land question and the
Imperial veto. It Is now generally be
lieved that the negotiations will end
in a failure , nnd that tbo rupture
in tlio Irish party will continue during the
remainder of this narlimncnt. It Is Intended
to hold a meeting "of the McCarthy sociten
today. McCarthy will then make n state
ment on the position of affairs and give his
story of the negotiations on which ho and his
colleagues have been ongnsrcd. It will bo for
the meeting to decldo whether any further
efforts nro to bo madq to effect a reunion of
the partv , but a number of McCarthy's ' fol
lowers are In favor of at once breaking off
negotiations with Parnell.
It is stated that , oven in case Parnell
should resign the leadership of the Irish
party for the present In parliament , bo wil
consider himself frco to prosecute his cam
palgn In Ircliml and to act Independently on
Irish questions in the huuso of commons.
After the general election ho would claim the
