LINCOLN , Nob. , April 4. [ Special Tele
gram toTinllii ; : : . ] The closing hours of n
legislative session nro usually marked by
revelry mill a general "hurrah , boys. " The
grinding out of bills has ceased some time be
fore , iiinl while the luglslatlvo body Is wait
ing for thorn to bo engrossed that the presid
ing ofllccr may sign them in the presence ot
his organization , there arc Intervals In which
no business can bo transacted. Hellovcd of
the responsibility that has rested on the.tn
for three months , the members Indulge In
bursts of boyish playfulness , anil tholr
capers always attract a big audience of spec
tators.
When the house convened at 8 o'clock to
night the gallery , lobbies and aislei were full
of expectant onlookers. The lloor was
littered with discarded newspapers , aban
doned bills and gay public documents.
Waste baskets wore being heaped with bill
files , Ink bottles and cuspidors to spend the
remainder of their useful careers in orna
menting city ofllces unit county farm houses.
Speaker Kldcr , conscious of his utter in
ability to manage the helm , put Church
Howe lu the chair , without even calling the
house to order. The Independents , who
have not succeeded In enacting any of the
Important measures domnndi'd by their plat
form Imvo been hanging their last hope
on the Khtimwny bill. They made ono brief ,
spasmodic effort this afternoon to put it up ,
but were circumvented by the opposition
with the rule requiting a two-thirds vote to
take up a measure out of its regular order.
At the llrst opportunity tonlcht Shrador
'moved to go Into committed of the whole to
'consider the usury bill , and after some fili
bustering It was curried. Font , Dronnun and
Brccn of Omaha voted with the independ
ents , having promised to do so ia return for
the withdrawal of the Independent opposition
to the Omaha charter. A number ofother
members paid off similar debts in like man
ner , and fahrader's motion received tw votes
against III nays.
McKesson of Lancaster was called to the
chair.
Cornish took the floor and began a long
speech , apparently to kill tlmo. , . There were
numerous Interruptions , to which ho "rritv.'e '
witty' retorts , sending the willing crowd Into
laughing spasms , and an Intermittent IIro of
paper wads added to the prevailing hilarity.
At 1) ) o'clock the ofllclnl timepiece was
turned back two hours , and the assemblage ,
catching the subtle suggestion that Cornish
had been talking all night , gave him a round
of laughing raillery.
Dobson of Flllmoro , the old mnn eloquent ,
took tha lloor and scared Cornish and his nr-
Knmonts In a ( light ot brilliant oratory , but
the crowd was In no mood for eloquence , and
When ono of his denunciations was capped by
Crumb with a fervent "amen , " the assem
blage indulged In another rollicking roar.
Watson pointed out several fatal defects
and perpetrated clover witticisms on the op
position , Referring to the legislative man
ual , ho snul Ford was put down as a capital-
* lnt. "You " ho said "
, , turning to Ford , "aro
the only aristocrat among us. " [ "Laughter. ]
Font No , sir ; 1 didn't write that.
Watson If you are not a capitalist , what
In ( lod's name are you ! [ Laughter. ]
Ford I have been a working man all my
life. [ A general roar , ]
Watson ( turning to Dobson ) And hero Is
another gentleman from England who is
Dobson ( interrupting and shouting ex
cltcdly iimid a great hubbub ) I'm not
nshnmcd of my nativity , and I'm as loyal
an American as you.
Watson It is always the pig under the
gate that squeals. ( Shouts of approval. ]
Dobson- Yes I'm squealing for order.
Watson Hero uro Johnny Dull and Paddv
Mick telling us how to make laws for Ameri
cans. Hero wo have tbo mtisloof the Irish
harp and English unicorn mingling in this
legislative hall.
Watson's remarks wore evidently a bit of
peed miturud raillery , which convulsed the
auditors.
Ford , Dobson and Brcnnan sprang to their
feet to make excited disclaimers , but they
otlly helped the crowd to drown their re
marks.
At 10:110 : the bill was recommended for
passage anil Howe resumed the chair.
The conference committee on the general
appropriation bill made Its report , and It was
adopted. The usury bill was then put on Us
passage.
It received 17 votes against 27 negative. This
measure , falling four votes short of a consti
tutional mujnrltv , the Independents'last hope
of a usury bill wont glimmering.
White , Oakley and Shrador wore ap
pointed a coimnlttoa to notify the governor
that the hnuso was about to adjourn. Pend
ing the report of a conference committee , the
bouse passed Senator Starbnck's bill prohib
iting the selling or giving of firearms to the
Indians.
The committee reported that the governor
hud no communication to make , and brought
his thanks for the courtesy shown him by the
house.
Speaker Elder took the chnlr for n few
minutes , but the crowd , bound on throwing
papers aim books and muzzling tholr neigh
bors with wiuto baskets , got away and'
Church Howe was again called to the chair
to restore order. That pontlcnnui scored a
scrgonnt-nt-nrms for Ind.ilglui ; In boy plav
and ordered him to quit or leave the half.
[ Shouts of laughter. ]
While waiting for several bills to bo re
turned for the presiding oflleor's signature ,
the speaker was called to his desk. Hepro-
sontatlvo Watson presented him with an
artificial arm. on behalf of the housd , Rep
resentative McKesson presented him , for
Mrs. Kid or , n line , handsoinclv framed
crayon of the spcnkar. The recipient made n
feeling acknowledgment and was warmly
applauded.
Chief Clerk Erie Johnson and Acting
Speaker Howe were remembered with com
plimentary resolutions.

LINCOLN , Nob. , April 4 , [ Special Tele
gram to TUB UKE. ] Tbo house refused to
sanction the Increase of salary of the gov
ernor's private secretary , and the senate re-
reded from Its amcnament to the appropria
tion bill made yesterday , The house also re
fused to concur In a number of amendments
to the appropriation bill , for the support of
state Institutions , and the senate submitted
amendments providing for deficiencies which
were allowed.
A number of senators were misting from
tholr scats , when the evening session began ,
And Senator Swltzlrr moved a call of the
iyuso. The Intention was to so-
euro the presence of the absentees
during the presentation of a beau
tiful gold wntrh to President Majors ,
The arraignment of the missing ones and the
serio-comic method of excusing them , nil
kinds of parliamentary motions being made ,
afforded some entertainment to the members.
Senator Swltzlcr then rose to n question of
privilege , and In an eloquent speech , In Which
he referred to the distillled and nblo manner
in which President Majors had presided over
the senate , presented him with an elegant
gold wnlch , The president was taken by
surprise , and feelingly accepted the present
and returned thanks to the donors.
AtlliV ! p. m , President Majors appointed
Senators PoyntiT , Shutaway anil Swltzlcr a
committee to wait on Governor Itoyd to
ascertain If ho had any communication which
he wished to semi to the senate.
The committee returned later and raid his
excellency had nothlngto communicate to the
body.
On motion of Senator Day , Senator Wilson
was allowed $7fi for attorneys' fees in his
election contest.

Devastating the Senate Chamber.
LINCOLN' , Neb. , April 4. Special to TIIC
This morning the Joint committee on
lliml adjournment 01 the house and senate
reported lu favor of bringing the session to a
close at 10 o'clock tonight. The report was
adopted.
Tills report would liavo been made earlier ,
bad it not been understood that the repre
sentative and senatorial apportionment bill
was to bo passed. This morning , however , it
was discovered that the bill gave satisfaction"
to but few of the senators and Accordingly
the latter decided to kill IU This thov did
late. The body was then ready to go home.
Senators began to pack up the legislative
Hies they have thumbed the past three
months , and to clean out the desks which ,
perhaps , slinll know them no more , lioxes
were brought from the cellar , the uttle and
the stores In town and filled with circulars ,
letters , state publications and congressional
documents which huvo accumulated during
the session. Cuspidors , very fancy ones ,
too , by the way , were .wrapped up
carefully and deposited In paper nests as
souvenirs of legislative expectations. The
paper bas'tots which have been kicked and
battered and , at times , sent Hying through
the air with truck of n lighter description
and conlldcd to committee clerks with in
structions to see them safely on board the
train. Ono of thefo baskets , containing four
porcelain cuspidors , wds obligingly bundled
up by a distinguished gentleman who ,
this morning , returned homo after hav
ing received a certain appointment.
Ho had consented to act us porter for several
legislators , though some people who saw him
with ids load thought he was providing .for
himself.
Photographs which , for the past week Imvo
mndo tholr appearance nt intervals , today
circulated most freely , the members exchang
ing them with warm expressions of friend
ship and hopes of again meeting one another
this side of the grave.
The lobby was almost deserted , only a few
of the worker * making their appearance.
Those represented Important * interests , and
reared that bills calculated to Injure them
might oven at the last moment bo rushed
through the body.
This was a precaution which , howeverwas
not Justified. The members were tired and
only too glaa to get home.
There wore only two absentees at the af
ternoon session , .Messrs , Shea and Taylor.
The Termer unfortunately has boon absent
nearly all the session , and bis absence has
been n source of regret to many of the mem
bers who felt that ho could huvo been of n
gr < * at deal of service had It not been for his
unfortunate. Illness , The absence of the
other senator was not greatly felt.

KcdlBcovcreil.
SAN FitAXcisro , April -I. Recent mineral
discoveries in that part of Nye county , Ne
vada , known as Death valley have aroused
great excitement on the i'acitle slopo. As
already fully described In Tan Bun it is
claimed that the famous Uroyfoglo mine ,
which was lostyearsago , has been ro-Iocated.
Whether it Is this old legendary mine that
has neon struck apaln , or an entirely now
find that has heen made has provoked much
discussion in mining elrclos. It will take
some tlmo evidently to settle the merits of
the new discoveries , and the contradictory
reports which appear from time to tlmo are
not calculated to help the matter. So far no
Investigation of the original statements 1ms
been made which would justify an opinion on
the subject ono way or the other , while the
fact that the district includes the location of
the celebrated lost mine known as the Hroy-
foglo hlghtcns public interest in the solution
of the question involved.
KXIT.UTS INVESTIOATE.
A report which was circulated hero that
Ich ore had been discovered In the Death
alloy country took several parties into the
leld. Some started out well equipped for
.11 . expedition through the district and a pro
onped stay , while othow simply made
lying trip of It , to take in the outlook at a
glance nnd with as much speed as possible.
The latter party has returned and made a ro-
> ort. Among the names mentioned are those
f Callahnn , until recently superintendent of
.ho Diamond U mine of Nevada ! Irwln , well
nowu in connection with Iho Uodlo
: atnp , and BrIUen , nn old-time suporiu
ondont of the Andes inluo. Those
neil made the trip In less than thirteen
days , which , as It takes olRht days to drive
0 the camp ana return to Oa gett , the u car
; st railroad point , and thirty-six hours each
, vay going and coming from'thls city , did not
eave them many hours within which to pros
pect the now mid so as to bo able to report
authoritatively on the subject. They nro all
reliable ' , clear-headed and thoroughly non-
s'clcntious men , and , as such , what they say
must carry weight among mining men , who
know them , If not personally , at least by
reputation. Mr. Irwln said that the country
had not yet boon prospected sufficiently to
enable any one toforin any correct idea of the
value of the discovery. The whole matter
simmered down to a question of development
work , with a coed prospect to start upon. In
conclusion Mr. Irwln remarked , "I have no
doubt there will bo a camp there. "
WIHT THE i > iscoviiir.n : SAYS.
In an Interview with George Montgomery ,
the original ( liscovercrof the mineral which Is
attracting so much attention , ho "said : "I
loft San Andreas , Cahweras county , Col , ,
last September on a prospecting tour through
the Death valley district , talting with mo a
complete outfit with a packtraln and twenty-
four animals. I entered Nevada south of the
Carson and struck off towards Walker lake.
After leaving Hawthorne I loft the railroad
ut Soda springs and moved west until I
struck the Firebug mountains. Hero I began
prospecting , and took In the whole country
with poor success until I reached Timber
mountains , as they are known by the people
ple thoro. Sometimes they are called the
Charleston mountains. Hero I went through
n strip of country titty miles cast end west
nnd 150 miles In length , north ana south. In
tlio northward trip 1 found little worth men
tioning , und did not meet with anything to
locate Until January 9.
"I found some ROOJ cropptngs flvo miles
west of north end of Charleston mountains ,
from which I got some coarse gold , A nugget
was broken Irom the quartz at ono point ,
which yas worth from $5 to fi. ( The next
day I broke out some more rock and took out
about 10 iu coarse sold. I tnon located the
inluo. For some days after I prospected In
the neighborhood mid found spnio silver ere ,
assays from which , made by ITalkcnau in
San Francisco ran 111.80 ounces to the ton.
That was a fair average of the ere
as I took It out at that tlmo. contem
plating shipping it for reduction. The
whole canm was then moved to Grapevine
spring on the west sldo of the mountain , and
systematic prospecting was carried on for
some tlmo in the .surrounding country. Asa
result I niiido several other locations , ono of
which was silver and the rest gold-bearing
veins.
rnosi'KCTOus IN LUCIC.
"Boforo leaving the camp I directed others
to veins ana they located on them. From
some of these I have since heard that they
opened out well In coarse gold. The Yotint
HrotH'ors made one ot the locations , and t
had a letter last week In which they said
that they had just taken out f . ' .Tin one shot.
1 have not made any attempt to boom this
district slnco niv arrival nnd I do not wish to
bo held responsible by men whe start out ox-
peeling to And gold hanging on K reason ooit.
I am satisfied myself In respect to the district :
1 have located property to suit myself und
propose to solve the question of its value to
my own satisfaction , it is quite true that
the camp Is still only a prospect , nnd that it
will take time und money to open It up. lint
at the same tlmo It Is what will bo very gen
erally admitted a very good prospect. "
In conclusion Montgomery remarked that
It was unintentional on his part that so much
publicity hod been given the matter. Any
one who wished information on the subject
from him always got It without any attempt
at exaggeration. The mines , ho claims , nro
In the sumo bolt as the old Uroyfoglo mine ,
hut ho docs not flatter himself that ho has
been fortunate enough to locate the long lost
bonanza , Other experts who started to In
vestigate the district are now on tholr way
to the c.unp and a nnmuor of surveyors have
left Dacgctt. Men in churgo of the expedi
tion are well known and competent Nevada
miners , fully equipped for a prolonged stay
hi the camp.
JJt'snAUMEIt'8 OI.II MINE.
Concerning the recent discovery of what is
bcllovod to be the celebrated Dreyfoglo. it
would appear altogether probable that this is
the same mine that was discovered over
forty years ago by Louis Musbaumer , now
oefeascd , an old n'nd respected citizen of Ala-
modu county , and for years a resident ol the
Mvcrinoro valley , says the Chronicle.
In thosprlngof ISlSNusbauinerloft Now
Jersey hound for the coast. When ho reached
Salt Lake the train of pralrlo schooners was
120 In number. Their progress was
necessarily low , nnd Nusbaumcr and
six other adventuresome young men
determines to push on to the coast.
Quo of the party , named Smith ,
declared that ho bad made the journey befora
by a short southern route , and offered to loud
them to the promised laud. Tboy abandoned
the wagons anJ , driving some cattle with
them , commenced their fatal Journey across
the alkali plains. It turned out that cither
Smith's story was false or ho had forgotten
Ids bearings , for they soon lost their way and
did not follow any doflulto tfall. Their cat
tle died for want of wntor , and then tholr
horses were also loft to bldach their bones
upon Iho arid , burning , sandy plains of Utah
and Nevada.
Abandoning everything but their guns the
men struggled on to their Inovltnblo doom.
Finding a spring only at rare intervals , and
helng unable to carry nny quanlty of water ,
aid not daring to stop , they were soon In a
terrible condition from thirst and lack of
nourishment. Ono by one the weaker of the
little hr.nd dropped to the ground never to
arise nsnln , nnd wore left to their fate.
In his lifetime M. Nusbaumcr often related
with great feeling the pathetic nnd heart-
rendering Incident * of his awful journoy.
When n mnn foil ho know It was for the last
time , and these who thus perished mot tholr
end llko men. Oiico ono of the party ,
' oing unable to arise , was loft to die ,

tulo. Hut he was dead , and the ground
round him was torn up In his agonizing
truggles.
(1OI.1I l > A/t.nr ! ! > TIlBtll ETE ? .
At last nil had succumbed tn their hard-
lips hut Nusbaumcr and ono companion.
f\\\lo \ \ wandorlni ? about Death valley scarcely
nowlng or caring where they were polifg ,
.nd berne filonir by their remarkable vitality
jid pluck , they discovered a phenomenally
Ich gold mino. It was a ledge , Nushaatncr

ronplngs of rich quartz glistened brightly In
ho sun , and it was tho.ihinlng mctnl that
" rstcaiiRht their weary eves.
They broke oft some rich specimens with
liulr knives and continued their journey over
ho vnllov , subsequently coming to n spring
n the western hills about thirty miles from
vhcro they had found the golu. Thov hero
estodnnd eventually shuck the Williams
anchand behold the flrsthumaii face besides
hose of their Ill-fated companion * since they
lad loft the train. Iu due time they reached
heir destination , hut Nusbaumer and his
iravo comrade never made an attempt to find
.ho mine In the search for which so many
ave since lost their lives. They took what
earlngs they could , the , principal point of
ocation being the little spring In the hills

Ives.

Cable Special to TUB I3r.K.l Sir Clinrles
Dllko is beginning to weigh llko a nlgbtniaro
on the Olndstonlan leader. Having shattered
the Irish alliance in defense of domestic pur
ity , how are they to glvo n cerliilcato of good
moral character to tne Dllho family and the
rest of the harem I Dllko has retried his own
casein a private court and brought in unani
mously a verdict of not guilty. This U in
every way picasimtor than coing Into tbo
witness box on a regular trial and submitting
to cross examination. Dllko declined that or
deal , but his pamphlet has now been sent to
every member of parliament alleging his
complete Innocence. Again the question
arises , wtiat will Gladstone do , having or
dered Parnoll Into retirement for an offense
far loss gross , will the good old mnn
receive UllKo with open nnnsj It is under
stood that Ho has been sounded on tbo sub'
Jcct and came to tbe conclusion not to Inter
fere In any way with Dllko's candidature for
parliament. Ho holds that ho has no right
to dictate to the constituency a choice of
member , hut will not consent to resume any
relations with DilKe , regarding hi ? pamphlet
ns no answer to the verdict of the sworn Jury
approved by Justice iiunner. Most of Dilko's
parliamentary friends look upon his attempt
to force his way buck with disapproval , The
house of commons Is not puritanical hut will
not stand the presence of a man practically
convicted of ngrnvo offense In a court oflaw.
I remember Dllko's efforts to hol'd
his ground in the parliament of 18S3. Ho
cano : every day but was cut dead
by his fellow members. When ho took bis
seat a place soon cleared on each side , aud
In the division , lobbies and smoking roqms
ho stood an Isolated llguro. At last ho had
to give up and so it would bo again.
Meanwhile Parnoll is being mashed by the
Catholic cleriry , and the Sligo election was a
fatal blow. The boast of the antl-Pnrncllltcs
that ho cannot carry a single seat in all Ire
land seems likely to bo Justified by events.
The priests have got him la their power and
mean to crush him.
Ddring the remainder of the present par
liament Parnell may worry and annoy bis
former followers hut his teeth nro broken.
The McCartbyltes are highly Jubilant today
and Gladstone is in much better spirits.
Much Interest is being shown in tbo at
tempts of Horatio Bottomhy to get elected to
parliament in spite of bis dubious record In
connection with various public companies
which turned out disas.rously for the un
lucky shareholders. Ono of Uottomby's
schemes was to buy up a lot of rotten Anglo-
American continental papers at rubbish
prices , palm them oft upon British green
horns for 90,000 , , and with 10,000 of work
ing capital , ho then calculated that Gnllg-
nani's Messenger , already moribund , could
earn Interest on thocntlrosum. The scheme
utterly collapsed , the company is in the
hands of n receiver , wretched
Galignani chocked Into debts , and
the shareholders are furious , hut Uottomby )
with the spoils ia his pocket , coolly offers
himself for parliament. A formidable attack
has been opened upon him from several
quarters , from which the plamtlvo moans of
Ualignaul are not likely to deliver him at

I , IfeTJ , till now to obtain nn apology and re
dress and compensation for the outrage of
thumbserowms and false imprisonment I suf
fered at the hands of the Italian police near

did the Italian government , Its people or
