of tlio old snylng that "Chickens eomo homo

Mr. Ualley of Texas , otio of the youngest
members of the house , lias prominently co-no
to the fore recently by tits aUUudo of objectIng -
Ing to the passage of any measure. unless
there Is a voting ( juoruui. Ills position ,
though a sound one , li a vary unpopular ono
nnd when ho called up a bill of a local chitr-
aoter the opportunity to bolst Dim by his
own petard was not lost.
Mr. Uhlpmnn of Michigan was the en-
clnoernnd ho r.o worked his otiRtnc that the
bill , though It was finally pasted , was passed
without a quorum votluc. Then the nouso
otnbarkod uooti the sea of naval expenditure.
Tlio voyage was a smooth ono until the prop
osition for n now cruiser was signalled ,
Then the engines wore stopped , while. Mr.
Holman could explain why tbo now vessel
\viw not legitimately upon tuo ocean. It was
believed , however , by Me rs , Herbert. ' Bou-
tollo and Dlnplev that there win nothing
piratical about the craft which was sighted ,
but tbo consultation nmonc the navigators
was sufllcioutly long to delay the bark of
legislation for several hours.
Captain Shivcly gnvo his casting vote In

Boutcllo , bclloving that the house was nhlo
to cope with two moro battleships wblch
would cost $1,000,000 each , suggested that
the ono nlroudy sighted should bo so ruin-
forced , lint pending the decision on this
point , the onicots concluded that they would
have another consultation.
IloLmmi , As Usual , Object * .
After routine business the house went into
committee ol tbo whole on the navnl appro
priation bill pending the question of u point
of order ngainsui clause Appropriating f-io'J.-
OOU towards the construction of a dry dock
at Algiers , La.
The point of order was sustained , but It
was stricken out of the bill.
Then Mr. Holmun raised a point of order
against the clause authorizing the president
to liavo constructed by contract mi armed
cruiser of about S.OOU tons displacement of
the typo of the Now Yorit to cost , exclusive
of nrmor , not moro than S.3,300,000.
Mr. Buutollo and Air. Dingloy uf Maine and
Mr. Herbert of Alabama argued that the
point was not well taken , aud cited decis
ions by Speaker Carlisle and Chairmen Mc-
Creary , wellborn ana Buttorworth on tbo
same point , in which tnoy hold such a nolnt
could not bo sustained. It hud been held ,
thov contonded.for Uvolvoyears , thatnpropo-
stttou In increase the navy was n continuation
of existing work and was'thoroforo in order.
Overruled the 1'nlnt of Order.
After debate the chair delivered his decis
ion. Ho said that If the question wore an
original ono ho would be Inclined to recard
the point as well taken under the provisions
of rule 31. Out us analogous questions had
been decided in former congresses the chnir
was constrained to overrule the point of
order.
Mr. Holman then moved to strike out the
appropriation for the new cruiser.
Mr. Boutello moved to amend tbo para
graph for the increase of the navv by pro
viding for two fast sea-going coast line bat
tleships of a disDlaoomcnt of about 10,000
tons , at a cost not exceeding $1,000,000 each.
Pending action tbo committee rose and tbo

WASHINGTON- . C. , April 13. Mr. Dolph ,
from the committee on foreign relations , re
ported back house bill for the absolute pro
hibition of the coming of the Chinese Into

sented and as it was different from what ho
had understood it would bo , ho desired that

fore the Dill should bo taken up , so bo might
present his own views and those of the pno-
plo of the coast on the subject. Mr. Felton
recognized tno great importation of legisla
tion on the subject , and for the continuation
of the present laws , but ho had not the re
motest idea that if the report of the com
mittee on foreign relations as agreed to and
tbo senate substituta passed , it would bo
overheard of again during this session.
Mr. Teller said that he did not wish the
discussion to proceed on the supposition that
the oxhtintt law would expire a * suggested

NEBRASKA GRAIN BIKN.
Mooting In SCSH'OII for Organizing n Stuto
AHsocIutlon ,
Nearly 200 grain men of the state wo in
the city yesterday for the purpose of or
ganizing a State Grain Men's ' association ,
and at 2 o'clock a mooting ofthe deal
ers in cereals was called at the Chamber of
Commerce.
Much Interest is token in the organization ,
as it will bo similar to that of the Manufac
turers or Lumbermen's ' associations , both of
which have proven to DO beneficial to tnoso
branches of business.
The interests of the grain men of the
state , says F. C. Swartz of tbo grain firm of
Fowler & Swartz , are identified with those
of the manufacturers and lumbermen. Ho
believes that by forming a grain association
nnd having general meetings once or twice
a year at some central point at
which questions of general intnreU to tbo
trade can tie discussed , will brine
about a better understanding of methods and
aUo put tbo grain men in a position to further
their own interests to a much greater degree
than when acting Independent of each other.
Mr. Swartz has boon assiduously at work
the past week in getting the grain men inter
ested iu tbo project of establishing tbo pro
posed association. Ho says It will bo no
trust nor any concerted action to regulate
the price of grain , but simply for mutual
protection In making prompt deliveries of
grain , | and also to creuto a moro fraternal
feeling among tbo grain dealers.
All Wanted to Orgnnlio.
The mooting was called to order by P. C.
Swartz , who briefly stated the object of the
absoinblaue as above lot forth. Frederick
Harris of Lincoln was chosen temporary
chairman and Mr. Swartz secretary.
Joioph A. Connor uald that tbo tlmo had
arrived when such an organization us pro
posed was necessary. He thought the grain
men would bo annihilated unless they did
something soon to protect their own Inter
ests , Ho was u protectionist , and believed
that the grain men tmqvild in some way bo
protected , but bordld not favor a
pool by organizing , the grain inter
ests. Ho thought tbo scalper , or
brokers who did a "bi < oem and shovel" busi
ness In buying on tracks should bo boy
cotted as well as thosQ eastern dealers who
traded with them. Ho wanted to see owners
of elevators and warehouses unite and bo tioJ
with ironclad bands so that the scalpers and
Chicago brokers could , bo controlled. Mr.
Connor then moved t ha1 , Abe association bo
organized. , , ,7 ,
Some ono aslcod for the reading of the con
stitution ana by-laws ? Hi it bad previously
been announced that'tooy had been prepared.
The secretary read tllem and they wore ra
tion provides that tho'lmmo ' of tbo organiza
tion shall bo the Nebraska Uraln Men's ' as
sociation. The affair * , of the association are
to bo controlled by a board of nine directors ,
including a president , vice president , secre
tary and treasurer.
Dirrurcd on 'jorcnil i'olnti.
While the committee of 11 vo was at work
Tovisiug the constitution and by-laws , a general -
oral discussion was bad in regard to tbo bene
fits that the members thought they would
receive. Some wore of the opinion that the
Omaha grain men had an axa to grind , but
Mr. Fowler soon disabused their minds of
such a movement. All ( iomod to want to
organize as u unit , but tbo question of olo-
valor rates nnd consignments catno up. It
was finally agreed that organization was
necessary and to boycott the scalpers.
When the committee returned to make its
report on tbo constitution tbero was a wrnn-
Rle on the very first clause , which defined
the eligibility of members. Tbo clause did
not exclude the brokers. So mo wanted to
get them into tbo association so tlmt they
rould ho bandied and others desired to bat'
them. No member * \vcro wanted In the . &
soolatlon unless they wera owners of cither
elevators or warehouses. Tbo clause WM
then adopted , excluding brokers.
Then came n fight on the Initiation fee of
member * . The committee fixed the nd-
mission fee nt lift and assessed each member
$15 a year for current expenses. This was
strenuously opposed , as most of the members
thought $10 was sufficient for the initia
tion fee , nnd nn assessment pro rata
on each elevator when necessary to make any
deficiency good , Then Mr. Fowler thought
that a man controlling more than ono ole
valor , nnd being assessed for each ono ,
should have as many voles us ho has olc-
vntors. This did not meet with approval.
A committee of five , composed of 11. O.
Harbor , U. M. .laqucs , W. II. Foremen , Mr.
McAllister and L , A. Duff was appointed on
permanent organization , nnd Instructed to
report on the eligibility ot members at 7:30 :
o'clock , to which time nn adjournment was
taken ,
Orgnnlrnl and Olllcorrd.
When the evening session reconvened the
committee reported favorably upon the
names of the grain men owning and operat
ing elevators nnd warehouses within the
atato.
The following officers ol the association
were then ok'ctod to complete the organiza
tion : President , Charles II. Fowler , Omaha ;
