WASHINGTON , D. C. , Jan. 10. Tlio senate llnanco committee today began an informal discussion of the sliver question that indi cated thoroughly the bent of the committee and the outcome of the proposed repeal of the silver purchase law , commonly known as the Sherman act of IS'JO. The members present wcro Senators McPlierson , Harris and Vance of the democratic side , and Sen ators Sherman , Mori-ill and Allison of the republican aide. A regular meeting of the committee will bo called for a day later in the week , when the McPhcrson rcsolutio n trill ho called up for serious consideration. It developed that there was not perfect nanlmlty among the republicans regarding lie strategetic inovo of yesterday on the art of Mr. Aldrich. Mr. Sherman , who is ildor in i > olnt of service , and the senior of Ir. Aldrich as a member of the finance com- iltteo , it Is understood , was opposed to such ggrcsslvo action on the part of younger nembers , and the rather sensational move id not meet with his most hearty approval , lenator Sherman Is , however , in favor of , hc repeal of the law which boars his name , nd has so expressed himself on the floor of he senate. ling Senator Morrlll'H Support. Senator Merrill , the venerable chairman f the llnanco committee , is also in earnest In supporting any proposition that will tend , o remove the danger of frco coinage and ivill alsofavor * the repeal , while the standing f Mr. Allison on the money question is too , vcll known to need explanation. Party lines lave been obliterated In the discussion of this matter , and the attack indulged in by tlio senators > vhowere at this meeting showed that the proposition was 'being con sidered upon the broad basis of statesman ship , rather than the narrow plan of party policy or political expediency. It was freely asserted In the committee room that the Sherman act was what the democratic party in-its platform called it. a "makeshift1 but , the republicans pointed to the fact that such a measure , or some thing akin to it , was absolutely necessary to prevent the free coinage act at the time the Sherman act was passed , or , at least , to pre vent legislation that vras'fur more pcrn'.cious in its effect upon the country than that which became a part of the law of the land. Air. Teller's declaration that this congress would never pass the bill , and that it could not by any possibility work its way through the senate , is construed by the friends of the measure to be n throat on the part of Mr. Toiler that ho will hamper the measure and use all his powers to consume the remaining forty days of this session in opposing the consideration of the bill , and to resort , if need bo , to llllibustering. The Slicrmnn Act In the House. Representative Gate of Arkansas has prepared - pared the report of the majority to accom pany the Sherman silver bullion purchase repeal bill agreed upon by the house com mittee on banking and currency yesterday. It asserts tluit the circulation will bo in creased between $15,000,01)0 ) und $10,000,000 by the first section of the bill , which pro vides that national banks may issue bills to the par value of bonds deposited. The committee mitteo submits its repeal of the bullion pur chase clause of the Sherman act with no other comments than that the experience- the past two years has demonstrated that the policy entered upon at the time of its passage has failed to afford substantial ben efit to any one , nnd that its continuance is a menace to the prosperity of the country , Tlio committee realize that it.s proposition will stop the increase of the cir culating medium by tlio issue of treasury notes in the purchase of silver , but the first section of the bill furnishes u largo increase of circulation and which. In its opinion , h much safer and more- likely to supply the needs of the country at largo. The commit- tco also bollovti that the cessation of all silver purchases by this government will not merely efficiently aid in the effort tc reach an international agreement fixing the ratio between gold and silver for colnagt purjwses throughout the civilized world , bul that such legislation as it proposes is a prerequisite requisite to reaching an international ngreo incut. Uolnagu iirsilvor liullloii. With respect to the Cato amendment pro vldlng for the coinage of the silver bullloi now in the treasury into dollars , the rcpori says this will also furnish a considerable incrcnso to- the circulating medium of tlu country. There were on December ill , 18JJ In the treasury ! U,0ilra : ) standard allvei dollars , coined out of bullion purclmsoi under tho" Sherman act. None of them dollars have ovur been issued.

TOIT.KA , ICas. , Jan. 10. The light for United States senator Is fairly on. That which has IM > CII expected ami 'foreshadowed In these dispatches for the past month h.ii occurred. A most grave situation confronts the Kansas legislature. Amid the most in tense excitement and the greatest uproar , two separate organizations were perfected In the house today. The clash occurred at the rcry oulset. The populists objected to the certified roll and the republicans proceeded to act as independ ents. Neither side paid the aUgliest heed to the proceedings or protests of the other. The two houses wcro both organized at the Hamc time and the same place , and are both In session in representative hall at SU : ! ) o'clock this evening. Behind the speaker's desk'sit two speakers. Two secretaries occupy the secretary's desk , and two sergcants-nt-arms wifh two corps of assistants attempting to matntilln order with indifferent succcs . During the organization of the two houses the members resolved themselves Into u howling mob , and a con flict between the opposing forces seemed for a time Unavoidable. The republican house organized with the follon'lbg officers : Speaker , George Ii. Douglass ; speaker pro tern , E. W. Koch ; chief clerk' , frank U Brown ; scrgcant-nt-ai-msC. C. Clovenger. The populist house organized with these officers : Speaker , J. M. Dunsmore ; speaker pro tern , H. II. Scmplo ; chief clerk , Ben C. Kieh ; scrgeant-nt-arms , Ren F. Dick. HnJoj'P'l hy the Demon-ills. During tlio turmoil and excitement attend ing the organization of the two houses the democrats held aloof and enjoyed the fun without being responsible fon. any of the trouble. Tlio bouse is comiiosod of 123.members. Of those sixty-three or a majority of ono Hold certificates of election from the state board of canvassers. These slxty-threo members participated in the organization of the re publican liouso , and the republicans for this reason claim their organization to bo ttie legal and the only legal ono. The populists number fifty-seven and arc therefore In the minority. They claim that those members whose seats are contested have no right to participate in the preliminary proceedings or to pass upon their own < iuuliticutious. Thus they chiinxthat the republican's organization is illegal and that their's is the legally con stituted house. The republicans organized with a majority and will doubtless be upheld by the courts if tlio matter over goes so far. They will maintain their organization and hope to tire iut the populists , who will doubtless bo anx- ous to proceed to the election of a senator , ; tate printer and the enactment of legisla- , ion which is possible with the aid of tlio > opulist majority in the senate. Tlio session is limited by statute to fifty days , and tlio republicans say they will hold the fort all hat time if necessary to carry their point. Would > 'ot Hrcogulzo IClthcr. The governor has as yet recognized neither iiouse. Ho received the committee from t > oth bouses , but informed them that he itid no communication to transmit to tlic body ivhich sent them to him. He will doubtless recognize the populist house ; and will order the adjutant general to assist the sergeant- at-nnns in maintaining order. That necos- iarily Implies the removal of the republicans rom the representative hall. They say hey will not resist the state militia and will withdraw quietly to another hall , .vhero . they will maintain their organization , 'o the matter stands. It all came about in this way. Tlio mem bers had assembled quietly and at 1UO : o'clock Secretary of State Osborue ascended he rostrum and rnpped for order. Ho an nounced that ho was required to appear bo- 'Oro the body assembled before him ( ho ro- rraincd from calling it the house ) and laying jeforo it the list of members us certified to by the secretary of state. Ho diih not come before the body in the capacity of ti tempo rary presiding officer or chairman , mat simply in the capacity of secretary of state rfnd cus todian of the rolls. Ho asked what AVUS the pleasure of the assemblage. Then arose a discussion as to what names the roll should contain , whether these of the members whose seats were contested should bo read and whether such members should be permitted to vote on temporary organiza tion. Upon the decision of this question of course depended everything involving the temporary organization uncl ultimately the permanent organization uud control of the houso. And the Trouble Commoueod. The discussion was proceeding quietly and in order , Mr. Douglass leading for the repub licans and Mr. Dunsmoro for tlio populists. Suddenly the secretary of state deserted the chair and announced that ho would retain the roll in his possession until such time as ho was informed that there was u house before - fore whom lie could lay it. Immediately u hubub arose rivaling the cqnfusion of tongues at Babel. Every mem ber and spectator was on ills feet , shouting , gesticulating and yelling suggestions in all directions. From the mass of struggling men on tlio populist side It. II. Scmplo was lighting his way toward the rostrum , cheered on o.v his companions. From a similar muss on the republican side , J. 1C , Cubblson was being sent through tlio lino. The republicans , under the leadership of George Ij. Douglass , were in the meantime electing Mr. Cubblson temporary "speaker. The motion was put and carried , amid the greatest excitement , while Cubblson was still lighting his way to the front. The pop ulists failed to take similar action with reference to Mr. Scmplo. Cnbbloon reached the rostrum first , and seized the gavel and chair ivhllo Semplo was still struggling through the excited men on the Hope. The republicans sot up a cheer which nuulo the old state house fairly vibrato. ConTuslon Worse Confounded , They wcro In the height of their enthu siasm when Semplo finally gained tlio ros trum ; then it was the populist's time to cheer. Cubbison had been provided with n plain wooden mallet for n gavulHo at once commenced pounding the speaker's desk with might and main , attempting-to rcdueo the populists toorder. . The hjibub und tiiibcl of voices continued and Increased , but Mr. Cubblson did not wait for order , A roll of the members-elect had boon prepared and certified to oy the retiring republican secre tary of state , and Mr. Gubblsou laid It before - fore the republican sido. The republicans rosocnmasso while Thomas V. Balu , 'aiiotary ; publlo of Topoku , administered the oath. Tlio oath was administered to the officers by Supreme Court Commissioner Strong , This was all accomplished before tlio ponu- ists could barely draw breath und long before - fore they had thought of effective organiza tion. Jerry Simpson was on the lloor on the populist side and , passing all the word tc stand firm. Ho reached Dunsmoro on the floor of the house as to the proper method oj proceeding. They wcro very slow in get ting down to business , however , oven under Jerry Slmiwn's whip , und just as thoj elected tholr speaker , the republicans began the introduction of bills. Their otMcors wore finally elected and qualified by taking the otith. This was ull accomplished amid the greatest uproar , and It was impossible tc distinguish ono voice ubovo another , the only clear sounds arising out of the genera : turmoil being those of the rival gavels in tlu hands of the rival speakers , Pcmonal Kiicountori Xnrrowljr Averted. Several personal encounters seemed Imml ncnt white the rival organizations wen being effected , but were happily avoided The most serious trouble took place abou the middle of the room , when Mr. Whlttlng ton of Lincoln attempted to gain the re-cog nltlou of Speaker Douglass. Speaker Dunsmoro ruled that Whlttliigtoi wus out of order and ordered the populls scrgeant-at-arms to seat bin. . As the sergeant approached Mr ; Whltting ton n rush wn.i hi.vlo In thfit direction by members of bottn'Mdrg. Mr. Whlttlngton struck down thrnrm of the aorgpnnl nnd n llttlo riot seemrdvrtbout to tnko place , when Mr. WhlttlngUiiinvortcd it by taklnir his scat. Then thu > Viubub began lo subside nnd gradually niuictcd down , good humor taking the pliuiMtf violent partisan feelltnr. It was then 8 iIV ) o'clock nnd during the ro- maludcr of the tiny no further excitement nrose. - . The only nppronch toward excitement was the enthusiasm following the announcement of the i > opullsU-f muiUtoo to notify the gov ernor that the house had boon organized nnd wus ready to , Vtft'qivc communications from him , nnd tlmtUif , ) committee had been re ceived by the governor. This announcement was received wltlL prolonged cheers by the populists. Ainttew then settled down again. iK > th sides resting on their arms nnd ready to meet any move of their opponents. An attempt was made to secure the ad journment of both houses until 10 o'clock to morrow without prejudice to either house , but at 8 o'clock the populists had not con sented to the I'rrparril for u l.oujj Slogr. The members prcp.ired themselves for a long siege , which both parties seemed to an ticipate. They gathered In knots about the floor , dlsctmhig the situation , and now and then formed foraging parties to prey upon the supply of sandwiches of their respective opponents. TliiMi the excitement of the afternoon was transferred Into a frolic and Hits best of good humor prevailed. As supper time arrived members began to wonder tiow they were going to got any thing to eat. No ono dared leave the house for fear that their presence might bo needed in the event of some expected move. , The local lodge of the citizens' alliance finally solved the problem. The Indies of the lodge opened a llttlo restaurant In ono of tlio ixxmis on the populist side and served two doughnuts , a cracker , one plcco of checso , an apple nud cup of coffee for a quarter. This varied the monotony of the late afternoon hours. During the weary hours of the evening the tedium was enlivened occasionally by the introduction of resolutions and ono tiling anil another on the republican sido. There was a resolution of sympathy with Mr. Bluinc , and another pro vided for n committee to Inform Jerry Simp son that this was the Kansas legislature and not tlio federal house of representatives , and that the latter body earnestly desired his at tention thero. This latter resolution caused much merriment on the republican side , but called forth groans from the populists. In the Stntn Scnnto. At noon Secretary of State Osborno rapped the senate to order and swore in the members-elect. The organization was effected without a clash of the opposing forces , the populists having n majority of llvo with two democrats acting with them on all questions excepting the electing of a senator. Lieutenant Governor Daniels took the chair nnd W. T. Brown of Kingmnu was chosen secretary and David Shull of Osage county , scrgeant-at-arms , The senate after sending a committee to the house and governor to give notice of their organization , adjourned until 10 o'clock tomorrow morning.

The ceremonies began at 2 o'clock. After the oath of ofllco had been administered Mr. Waite was introduced by Governor Iloutt , after which the now executive delivered his address. The governor recommends stringent rail road legislation , and urges that the accept ance of a pass by a state official maybe made a penral offense. Ho favors the ceding of arid hinds to the state ; objects to the leasing of convict labor , except when in the employ of the stato. On tlio labor question ho recommends that strikes bo made illegal , and that n compulsory arbitration law bo en acted. Capital punishment is objected to , life imprisonment being suggested as a sub- slitute. Tlio Australian ballot system is de clared corrupt and needs modification. Frco coinage of silver Is ciTdorsed , as is an addi tional appropriation for the World's lair. In closing , the governor recommends that the United States government issue no bonds to provide for the construction of tlio Nicaragua canal , and also that tlm bonds tor the pur- chuso of gold bo discontinued.

ON THE OTHER HAND [ COXTINVKt ) FltOM HIUT PAOr. . ] allowed to run over the appointed time , l e- fore the house was called to order this afternoon , after the three days' recess. IJIghty-elght members answered to their names and two moro came in liter nnd re quested to bo marked present. Tlio speaker stated that he hod consulted with the Board of Public lymds nnd IJuild- Ingn , and the houo had boon promised si bill room on-thnt floor. Ho said further that ho did not earn for a messenger , although 0110 had been allowed him by the house , but ho would like a private p\go ; and would take one from these appointed for duty on the Hour , and would appoint another In the place of the one so removes ! If there was no ob jection. Secretary Wilson of the senate appeared and informed the house that the senate hul : appointed n committee to confer with n simi lar tmo from the house relative to tlxlng a time for u canvass of the returns. The speaker called attention to the fact that several things left In the hull during the day recesses had dlsippoaroU nnd sug gested that a day watchman should boap-- pointed. Hy motion of Mason of Douglas ho was Instructed to make the appointment. llrnnl from tinSnmtc. . The speaker announced that the same com mittee that had been previously appointed to consult with the senate committee would be continued , and Howe , Uasper nnd Porter went out to see what could bo done In that direction while the house took a recess , pending their return. The committee appeared at 3tO : ; nnd announced thatI o'clock was tlio hour agreed upon for the canvass "of the votes and further recommended that the two bodies meet again at 10:30 : tomorrow to listen to the message of the governor and the inaugural address of the governor-elect. Tlio report was ndontod , and anothcrre- cess was declared until the hour mimed for for the joint session. On again nipping for order at that hour , the speaker stated that ho had been in formed that the senate was about to adjourn until tomorrow. Casper said he thought it wan about ttmo for this boys' play to cctiso. Twice had the house extended this courtesy to the senate and twice had the liouso been ignored by that body. Ho had something against Its going any further , but ho would puss no fur ther strictures until ho knew definitely as to that action of the senate in the matter. Stevens demanded tli.it the vote by which the report of the committee was adopted bo re-considered. Howe favored letting the record stand as it was , and allow the responsibility to rest with the other end of the house and Slovens agreed that this was the better plan. ConKltlcrliiR thn Ktilr.i. McKesson moved to adjourn until 10 o'clock tomorrow the hour to which the senate had adjourned , but the motion was defeated. The house then procccdo dto take U ) ) the report of the committee on rules whereit left off Friday , adopted it with out discussion except the section relative to the admission of persons to the floor of the house. Mcivesson opposed any change , but Stevens insisted that n change was de manded. He- said that the house was an ofllco for the transaction of business of the state , ami if one taxpayer was shut out all should be shut out , and if his neighbor was denied admittance the neighbor of every other member should bo denied entrance. Oakley suggested that the amendment of the gentleman from Furnns , providing for admission of the members and officers of both houses and state ofllcers , did not provide for the judiciary , and asked whether it was in advertent or not. Stevens demanded to know what right the Judiciary had on the floor of the house , when they were not sent for , to which Oakley re plied that the judiciary was a co-ordinato branch of the state government , and had as much right on the floor of the house as the house had in the supreme court room when court was in session. Stevens insisted that the change was de signed to shut out lobbyists of whatsoever creed or sex' , and that the popular will of the state demanded that the floor of the house be cleared qf their presence. GcttiiiKTiinglrd Up. Lingenfelter offered an amendment re stricting the pereons to bo admitted , outside - side of these who have a right there under the statutct of the families of the members , out Burns of Lancaster wouldn't have it that way. He did not want any privileges for his family that did not also belong to the families of his constituents , and was certain that' this would bo class legislation. Stevens discovered about this time that the change did not provide for the admission of the representatives of the press , to which Oakley replied that the houbo could not keep them out if it wanted to. Inspired by a recollection of the decision in the Clay county case , Elder wanted the 'thing changed so us to allow the supreme court to como in on the front lloor , and then Porter discovered that the report of the committee had not been rightly read , as it provided for all these tilings and left tlic power of ad mitting anybody else with the speaker or the house. That settled Stevens , who claimed that all ho was contending for waste to preserve his right to kick and prevent the closing uj ) of the avenue of appeal from the decision of the speaker in these matters of application for such privileges. Jensen did not like the looks of the propo sition nnd , stating that ho always had been able to walk right in whether be was a member or not , said that it would bo the same this year , no matter what -notion was taken by the house. Ho moved to lay the whole thing on the table , but was over whelmingly defeated by a vote of 00 to 27. Couldn't Set tin tlm Question. Porter offered a substitute to the effect that no person shall bo allowed on the lloor of the house except the members and the ofllcers of tlio two houses , state officers and judicial , and such other persons as may bo permitted by tlio speaker or house , to which Howe added a clause prohibiting statu officers from lobbying on the floor. Sutcr of Antclopo endeavored to maka a speech in favor of excluding everybody from the lloor , and it hail Its effect. Tliu effect was a general determination to listen to no moro speeches , nnd as soon as Mr. Sutor dropped into his seat thcro was a wild chorus of yells for the question. It was put and carried , nnd tlio house gladly adjourned until tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock. I.ITTMS J.i : < ! ISIATIO.V.

[ Special Telegram to TUB Hun. ] The house this morning pro ceeded to the consideration of newly intro duced bills , but no action of importance was taken. Slowness In printing is seriously handicapping tlio committees and it is not likely tlmt any legislation of Interest will occur for a week. Two years ago the legls- laturo , composed largely of Independents , pledged t/o. reduce expenses. They bowed away appropriations and lopped off not only several onlccs , but a great portion of the rovcnuo generally demanded by the state institutions , and the consequence was that these institutions wcro moro or less cramped and much injured. This year there is a general disposition to bo moro liberal nnd them } s every probability that the appro priations will exceed these of last year by at Joust $100,000. Tlio last legislature made short work of the commissioner of immigration. There is very llttlo doubt that this ofllco will bo ro- stored. The Hluck Hills. Sioux Falls , Aber deen and other growing und ambitious sec lions demand It , ami troy will undoubtedly pin thcnr wish. The Ynnklon Insane nsy him Is crowded , and Urgently requires addi tional room.

Such a law In case of a ear famine lllio that exist ing last fall would bo ruinous. It Is under stood that a still more powerful lobby will roach the city In a few days and make mat ters lively for the nnti-cor | > oralion erowd. Oakcs presented n bill in the house per mitting taxpayers to pay half their taxes In February nnd the other half In September nnd making the date on which the county treasurer Is directed to collect delinquent tax October Instead of July as at present. I'Yrgnson of the Hills wanted city treasurers inside general tax collectors. Smith asked that all disabled pel-sous be relieved from paying poll tax. Umibard put in a bill extending the time when taxes become a Hen on real estate from November to December. Patterson proiwsed that laud sold for taxes shall b * sold in sep.n-.ito parcels Instead of In bulk as now. In the senate Mr. No why Introduced a bill providing for the establishment of an asylum for Idiots at 1'arker. This is the fourth bill for new institutions.

Both committees nro unquali fiedly in favorof grant ing Ute request , and Ilia senate committee , headed hy Sol tit art- , will re | > orl tlio bill invorably tomorrow. There is llttlo doubt that it will pass the senate , but It Is iiiicrully l > oliovcd that It will strllca n snag as soon as It reaches the bouse.

Sparring ItoiitH at the Athletic Club That Kvrryboily Kujnyril. It was the unanimous opinion of the crowd that witnessed the entertainment at the Omaha Athletic club last night that the event was the best over pulled of ! m this neck of timber. The club rooms were well filled with a representative aggregation of local business and professional men and they were treated to two of tne prettiest set- tos that lovers of athletics could possibly do- siro. siro.The The curtain lifter was a four-round bout between a couglo of local light weights who gave an exhibition that in itself was worth moro than the price of admission. There was but ono clinch in the four rounds and tlio mittens wcro kept playing jump-up mazourkas on the anatomy of tlio contest ants in a manner that made the most cold blooded In the crowd wild with enthusiasm , The star event of the evening was the nish contest , between Jack Gorman of San Francisco and Joe McElroy of Newark , N. J , Through a misunderstanding Gorman en tered the ring fully ten pounds hc.iviur than ills plucky opponent , but that did not prevent - vent him from being dofcated after ciglit rounds of as lively sparring as anyone could wish to see. In the first round Gorman planted his loft several times in tlio Newark boy's fiieo , und received a couple of still punches in return. Gormun forced the work , and was met with straight loft bund Jabs in the mouth which bertiino moro effective with ovcry round. The three succeeding rounds were largely in Mclilroy's favor , and hii was picked for n winner. In tlio fifth ho planted several moro of these loft handed punches in Gor man's teeth , and the latter began to show symptoms of that tired feeling.
