CHICAGO , March 21. )
Senator Taylor , the absconding member of
tlio Nebraska legislature whoso conduct dur
ing the deadlock among the solona of the sen
ate has been conspicuous , graced the city
of Chicago vyith his presence Sunday and
Monday and was a guest at Burlto's hotel ,
where the Nebraska statesman dlplonutlo-
nlly registered hinm-lf under the alias of
"William Martin" of Red Oak , la. Ho was
accompanied DySothT. Cole of Omaha ,
With the greatest dlfUculty Senator Taylor
was Induced to grant nn interview to THE
Bnn representative. Ho looked careworn
nnd haggard , nnd spoke nervously In a petu
lant tone , saying :
"I opposed the maximum rate bill because
I thought by so doing that \vasbest furtherIng -
Ing Iho Interests of my Immediate
constituency and of those of Ne
braska at largo who demanded
It. Believing that the desired defeat of the
bill could not bo accomplished without a
deadlock , I decided to alsont myself from
tbo legislature nnd leave the state entirely.
Accordingly , I pursued that course , but the
sensational reports published that I took a
special train me all contemptible lies.
"As to other reports circulated broadcast
about my movements at Coimcil Bluffs and
the alleged attempt to ktdnnp me , all lhat is
the most absurd rubbish. As a mutter of
fact , at the time all that \vsia supposed to betaking
taking place , I was here at this hotel In
Chicago , having left Council Bluffs Saturday
night and reached hero about 2 o'clock Sun
day morning. "
Taylor expressed Intense disgust at having
been located here by Tnc BIE and
after unbosoming hlnwolf as above refused
to say anything further , nnd seizing his
satchel hurried down stairs and Jumped Into
rt cab , saying ai he was being rapidly driven
awny that he was going to catch the Uoc : <
Island train , hut \vould not give his destina
tion. Ho said ho would return hero Thurs <
Cay.All
All this , however , was probably a strategic
movement , intended to cludo the reporter ,
for the latter was informed at Iho hole ! oftico
n few moments later that the much-wanted
Nebraska man had not paid his bill and had
left his valuables in the hotel safe.
The senator said Iho newspapers bad trr.
durcd bin , and villlilcu him.
Sotti Ole was very solicitous aoout hla
friend , "Mr. Martin. "
Ir. Cole , when asked as to the whereabouts
of his friend Mr. Taylor , today , profe sca ig
norance. He thought ho had Rene to DCS
Moines on thoKocl ; Island train last night ,
andthouKht probably ho would coon to Lin
coin , now that the cruel war was over.
- "If ho Is in 101 vn I ought to got n uoto from
him , " said Mr , Cole naively , "and if he has
loft I ought to got a lolcBi-uin from him. "
Mr. Cole thinks ho will remain here for
few days ana then return to Lincoln.

Within n few days the secretary of ngrlcui
uro will promulgate the regulations which
ore to govern the shipment of dressed meats
o European ports under the new meat In-
poclion law. Secretary Husk today refused
oglvoout for publication Iho details of the
nstructlons to agents of the department who
? lll bo charged with the duty of making the
nspoctlons , but ho said that all meats dcs-
Inod for German ports especially will bo
objected to a microscopic test , t > uch
as the German government requires.
When the United States takes such
trccnntlons as this to insure the healthful-
icss other meat products it will scarcely do
or any foreign government to refuse to lift
ho embargo on account of any alleged fcarof
mpurlty. Should Germany continuo to reuse -
use admission to American dressed beef nnd
iork after the Inspection laws have been
bus fully enforced it will place that country
n the attitude of enmity towards the food
irodurts of the United States. Secretary
Jusk has already demonstrated what course
10 will advlso in such a contingency , and It
s understood that In the correspondence be-
, ween Secretary Illaino niul Minister Phclps.
recently referred to in these dispatches , the
department advised Mr , Phelps that the
microscopic tests were to bo made , and inti
mated to him that unless they were looked
upon as satisfactory by the imperial govern
ment the United States will regard the con
tinued refusal of Germany as prompted by
infriendlinoss on the part of that country ,
that in that contingency the president will
feel called upon to impose discriminating
duties upon all German products. The im
ports to Germany before the embargo was
imposed fell below $12,000,000 , in vnluo an
nually. It is fair to assume that the German
authorities will not take the risk ot closing
the ports of the United Stales to the millions
of dollars ivorth of goods which the country
annually buys from the subjects of the
Kaiser.
The matter has been frequently dlsuusscd
in the cabinet meetings of lute , and it scorns
to be the unanimous opinion of the members
that the most stringcul measures will bo nec
essary In cao Germany refuses lo rellovothe
American meat product of the present unjust
discrimlnntlSns. If , as Is probable , the embargo
barge Is lifted it Is likely that the result will
bo to stimulate the meat industry of this
country to an extent never before reached.

War Department investigating the
Feeling Among tlic Indians.
WASHINGTON' , March 24. The war depart
ment is taking advantage of the cessation of
hostilities nmougtho Indians of Dakota and
has been engaged in gathering authentic in
formation as to Iho probabilities of another
outbreak this spring. Careful investigation
has been made by the ofllcors serving as
agents at tbo Pine Kidga nnd Koaebud agen
cies , and their reports are not altogether re
assuring. In substance these ofllcers assert
that there need or need not bo trouble , Just
as the government desires. An outbreak
can bo prevented , or , on the other hand , very'
lltlle will fan Iho slumbering feelings of the
aborigines Into a fierce tlnmo. That is to say
the whole case rests upon the care exorcised
In distributing the appropriations. If the
Indians got promptly all thut is duo them
and there Is not too much haggling , thcro
will bo peace. Hut the moment the govern
ment attempts to pinch the Dakota tribes Iho
hitherto friendly Indians , who do not
feel very complacent over their
late Irip lo Washington , will , It is
predicted surely revolt. . These Indians
are at present in the majority in the two Da-
kolas , as most of Iho hostile chiefs have been
taken by nn Indian show fora European trip
and the ; remaining hostiles are thus short of
leaders. They realize perfectly xvell that the
chiefs are not hold as hostages , but have
gone as a matter of enterprise , and so they
would not bo necessarily dotercd from an
outbreak through fcarof retaliation on their
fellows. Thcso absent chlofs , however , are
perhaps the worst fighters of the nation.
A gentleman In this city has a letler from
a friend at Pine llldge , saying in effect that
there is a great deal of dissatisfaction among
the Indians as a result of the late war trou
bles. Many of them have lost much stock
and tbo means for sustaining it , and in some
cases houses were destroyed. If the govern
ment fulfills its promises and agreements to
the Indian , however , and a sufticlent number
of troopi oo kept at the r.goncy the writer
thinks tlio Indians can bo held In check and
another outbreak averted.

came near adding nnothcr victim yesterday

LINCOLNNob. . , March 21. [ Special to THIS
Bur. . ] Senate fllo Xo. 110 , comprising the
amendments to the Omaha charter , was
called up on third reading. Alter lihad boca
read for a few moments Senator Dysnrt ot
NuckolU anne and moved that the bill bo
recommitted to the committee of Iho % vliolo
for amendment. If this motion should bo
carried It meant that the bill would never bo
resurrected. The senators saw that it
also ni'-ant a long discussion on
a subject on which most of them
had already made up their minds. As ucoii-
scqucnco some of them loft tnelr seats and
returned only In tlmo to voto. But the mo
tion did not prevail and the bill was passed
by a handsome vote.
Senator Swltzlor said ho hoped the sennto
would nol recommit the bill. It hrut been
left before the committee for flvo or six
ucoks , nnd , in fact , had boon allowed to re
main there almost too long , solely that nil t no
objections that could bo urged against it
might there bo made. To recommit the bill
at this lale day would bo to kill it. That the
senate might bo informed as to the
nature of the amendments \\lilch had
boon suggested , ho would synopslzo
the bill. It provided that the
mayor should become a member of the Uro
nnd police commission nnd , llko the other
members , bo entitled to vote ; for Iho crea
tion of the olllces of assistant city attorney
and city prosecutor ; for n sanitary depart
ment to tnkj euro of the health of the city ;
for the Issuing of paving bonds which had
not been allowed before , and which would beef
of inestimable vnluo to poor people who could
not at mice pay for the grading of their
streets ; for the increasing of the powers of
the park commission and the issuance of
bonds for park purposes. An erroneous im
pression had gone abroad that this charter
gave to the mayor and council the right to
i < iuo thcso bonds. That was a mistake.
On pasro 8 the amend ments pro
vided that no bonds could bo issued
without the consent of Iho pcoplo by n two-
thirds voto. This provision was more striu
gent than the present ono , which required"
majority of only one-half. The charter also in
creased Iho rniio of bonded indeblcdnessfrom
10 lo V % per cent , This would enable the
carrying on of a great amount of public im
provements which would give employment tea
a largo number of pcoplo now not engaged.
It also provided for sprinkling districts ; for
tno increased valuation of the property ; fqr
the paving of the city treasurer a salary , de
positing tbo city fuuus In a bank and turning
the Interest thereon into the city treasury. '
Tuo authority of the board of pub
lic works was enlarged , the salary of
the mayor Wu increased from . ' ,1500
to ? 3,100 , Iho increase being In return for his
services as a member of the lire and police
commission. Tliero was no change , as had
been urged , regarding the city assessors ,
'
That was provided In a separate bill , und h'o
\vns willing , if the senators so decided , to
make the ofticc elective instead of appointive ,
The Impression which prevailed , that the ap
pointment of the lire and police commissioners
was placed with the mayor and council , was
erroneous. It still ronuinedwllh the gover
nor , for the purpose of taking the inattor out
nf the saloon in politics.
Senator Uysart then i-cltorntcd what ho
hud said several weeks botoro on the sub-
Jei-t , that notwithstanding the alleged objec
tion nf Iho senators from Douglas ho had a
right to speak for the people of Omaha ; that
thrco parties had called on him urging ob
jections to the charter , and that ho thought
they should bo given some consideration ;
thai thcro wore &V ) working mcu behind him
represented by petition , who asked him lo
speak for the bill and have It amended ; that
the Independent party should bo represented
In theflroand police commission ,
Senator Switzlcr then paid his respects to
Henry Ehrcupfort , the mnn who had given
Senator Dysurt his petition. Ttint docu *
meiH was gotten up by Kbronpfort , the as
sessor of the First ward , and the parties
whoso names it contained did not intend to
protest against the passage of tlio charter ,
Thcro were about ono hundred and ninety-
six names on the list , and Bhmipfort bad
worked four weeks , mid. yet , in a city of
140,000 inhabitants , he could get 110 more *
names , This , in itself , was ono of the strong
est argument ? In favor of the bill. The
list comprised very largely only per
sonal friends of Urn assessor aud resi
dent * in the First ward. The anmo
assessor came hero every morning riding on
n piss and went home at night riding on a
pajss , and ho slnvolv wanted to knock out
these bills , so that no might be able to retain
his Job. This same assessor couM tuko hli
trim on the cars , going as fur as the coast
nud solely bccmrio ho wus the assessor of the
road which contained nonily nil the railroad
property.
Senator Christoflerson said that If the
amendment regarding the membership on the
board of police cominUhlon should ba
adopted It would not accomplish llu purpose ,
lie then quoted tholaxv to show that there
shall not bo more than t\vo of the samn po
litical party on the hoard of ilro and police
commissioners , and that the body was not
largo enough to ennhlo every party
to be represented. Ho was in favor
of giving to the western rountlps
whatever they needed , if it were a normal
sohool on every hill for the gentleman's ' own
bendlt. Referring- Ehrcnpfort. ho said
lhat thut gontlcman had told him that If the
emergency rlauso were removed from the
bill , ho would abandon his lobby work and
go home. Instead , however , of doing so
after the senator hud _ promised that
the objectionable feature would bo elim
inated , Khrcnpfort remained around and his
lobbying was most unremitting , There was
something more than Iho letial salary at-
luched to the postlion of wurd assessor to
enable a nan to keep up this lobbying. Ho
had be-on told that this same Khrenpfort had
assessed ut f 1WO ! the great plant of the elec
tric light works worth a least f.100,000.
Senator Dysart spoke ncaln In the strain
that had characterized his lirst speech , and
in rambling off on a list , showing some of
Khrcnpfort's assessments and how just they
were , was ordered by the chair [ Senator
Mattes ] to confine himself to the subject
under discussion.
Senator ChrUtoffcrson replied to him and
finally a vote was reached on the question to
recommit ,
