TOIT.KA , ICnn. , Jan. 12. The members of
the dual house were nil promptly In their
scats at 0 o'clock , but no pretense of trans
acting any business was made. No agree
ment having been reached by the Joint peace
committee , each house maintained Its or
ganization , The usual motion to adjourn
and meet ngaln in order to make a legislative
day was adopted by lx > th sides , but beyond
that nothing was done In the early hours of
the day and the members killed time ns best
they could pending a further conference of
the committee.
The tbreo democrats who yesterday de
If. cided to afllllntc with the republicans on the
question of organIzatlon broke the monotony
nt 3 o'clock by announcing tholr decision
publicly. The republicans had worked
themselves Into a pretended squabble over
the reading of their journal in order lo have
a roll call to give the democrats an oppor
tunity to proclaim tholr position. As their
names were called Messrs , Chambers ,
i Mcaghcr and Koscnthal , the democrats , arose
from their scats In turn and stated that they
believed the republican hotiso to bo the le
gally constituted one and had therefore de
cided to participate in the proceedings of
that organization.
Ohrori'd th Action of tlin Democrats.
This action by the democrats was received
with loud cheers'by the republicans. The
populists pretended to make light of It , but
their leaders were evidently greatly dis
turbed. The addition of the three democrats
to the republican membership gives tno re
publican house sixty-seven members , a ma
jority of live , composed of ono republican ,
ono Independent ( Wilson ) , ami tlio three
democrats.
The excitement caused by the action of the
democrats soon subsided and the monotony
of waiting for further developments was re
sumed.
Soon it was announced on the populist
nldo that the senate and the governor would
shortly recognize the populist houso. Mem
bers on both sides waited impatiently for
such action. It had been agreed that the
Kcuato should recognize the populist house
by resolution and the governor should recog
nize it by addressing n communication to the
speaker. The plan miscarried. The senate
adjourned without taking the agreed action.
Before the governor could bo informed of
that fact , however , his communication was
on its way to the house. When the populist
Bcnrcant-at-arms , Chase , was called to the
door to receive the governor's messenger ,
and as Secretary Close was recognized , the
populists arose nnd began cheering , Popu
list Speaker Ounsmoro rapped for order and
i-estorcd quiet , the republicans making no
demonstration.
Secretary Close called out : "Mr. Speaker
Diinsinorol" This oflleinl recognition gave
the populist side another opportunity to
cheer. Women shook their handkerchiefs in
the air and thu members climbed into their
scats and waved their hats.
il by Governor I.tnvrllliiR.
There were cat calls from the republican
nldo as the populist chief clerk read the fol
lowing :
To J. M. DtiNSMom : . Speaker of the Hotiso of
Hepresontallves : In , answer lo your com
munication > > eitt mo January in , 1893notify

business , I ( leslro lo say that 1 will communi

L. I ) . I/KWKI.I.IMIGovernor.
The populists again cheered , but Repub
lican Speaker Douglass rapped for order and
said :
"Tho legally organized house of repre
sentatives will come to order. "
Some minor resolutions were then offered
on the republican side and the roll was or
dered on ono of them. The call showed that
sixty-seven members answered to their
names.
The excitement occasioned by the recogni
tion of the populist house by the governor ,
continued for some time , the populists cheer
ing exultantly over their apparent victory
and the republicans taunting them with the
failure of the senate to carry out the program
of recognition. After a half hour of excite
ment things quieted down again. Tholcadcrs
got together nnd agreed to adjourn both
houses , without prejudicing the position of
cither , until 0 o'clock tomorrow morning. In
accordance with this agreement both houses
adjourned at 8 o'clock to tno hour named.

Toi'BKi , Knn. , Jan. 12. While all parties
were striving to bring ubout a peaceful solu
tion to the legislative problem today , a few
hot-headed populists were distributing in
the two houses copies of the resolutions
adopted at last nlcrht's populist mass niccT-
ing. These resolutions were signed Dy the
committee appointed at tlio meeting for that
purpose , and which had been adopted with
out anybody kniwlng Just what they con
tained , the confusion having made theit
reading Inaudible. The resolutions were in
cendiary in character. After stating the
populist claims in supgtort of their posjtionHu
the house squabble , the resolutions continue :

.Moving ttllli Caution.
Toi-BKA , Kan. , Jan. 12 , The senate did
practically nothing today. An attempt was
made by the moro radical members to force
t n recognition of the house , but It failed. All
tlio morning nnd a greater portion of tin
afternoon was spent In waiting for u ropori
> from the committee appointed to Inquire
p- into the organisation of the two houses
1 * That committee was at work nil day. All
o'clock the populist senators , impatient n
the long delay , voted in caucus to dlscluirgi
the committee. A recess had been taken t <
permit the holdingof caucus. When tin
senate reassembled motion was made ti

that effect , The motion aroused an uni
mated discussion. During the debate thi
uows came from the house that the thre

There is some friction between the World's

ate. The appropriation committee thinks
the bill appropriating money for the exhibit
should come before It for consideration , but
the World's fair committee think its recom

Cnr.YKXsn , Wyo. , Jan. 12. [ Special Tele
gram to THE BEE. ] Now's boom Is busted.
Since the close of the national and state
campaign Chairman New lias industriously
been manipulating the wires in order to
sceuro the United States scnatorship. At
one time his candidacy was regarded as
formidable and with a democratic and
populist majority he was regarded as the
strongest man in the race. This period is
now passed and Mr. New.'s apparent
strength is gone.
New was the last official appointed by
Cleveland and held over under 'Harrison by
lavish promises to support republicans. By
an accident he was made chairman of the
democratic state central committee. The
'campaign ' was fought on lines opposed by
him and at one time when fusion appeared a
mistake ho washed his hands of the wnole
business , The campaign was principally on
the Invasion issue , which ho also opposed.
Ho then began to sigh for the lleshpots of
the senate.
Promises were made to everybody who
had Influence with the representatives-elect
and to the legislators themselves. At least
seven men have been promised the United
States marshalship , four candidates for
United States attorney have his undivided
support and two timoer inspectors. These
facts have been discovered and the
result is that Mr. New is a beaten man.
The strength ho had is now divided among
various candidates of whom the chiefs arc
Ilolliday , Baxter , Beck and Corn. Senator
Warren is working quietly for re-election as
is also Hichurds , who hopes to get a popu
list or two In addition to the full republicai
vote , which would elect him. The senate is
adjourned to next Monday , so a vote cannel
bo fixed before that time.

Semite ISrCiurs to Adopt the HOURO Aim-nil-
uirnt to Joint Solution llnlrs.
LINCOLN' , Neb. , Jan , IS. [ Special Telegram
to TUB Bnu. ] After the senate had been
called to order at lOilO this morning and
Chaplain Snyder had delivered his initia
tory prayer , the now members settled
themselves comfortably in their chairs
to enjoy the reading of the Journal. After
the reading had proceeded about twenty
minutes Mattes undertook to shut it off , but
Correll and Tofft explained that they had
corrections to make and the reading pro
ceeded to its finish.
After the Journal had been duly corrected
Babeock presented the report of the
committee on.employes as follows :
For night watchman , John Kucera ; pages ,
James ( Jrant. Pierre Munn , Herman Thellan ,
I' . Swlgart , Halllo Ducker , Joseph Meagher
and Ira Kiminer.
Senator North introduced a resolution ,
which was carried , directingithe sergeant-nt-
arms to take charge of the senate employes.
McCarty of Howard wanted the lieutenant
governor to administer the oath to the em
ployes , but when that ofllcial stated that ho
had no power to administer oaths the motion
was withdrawn.
The resolution providing for the appoint
ment of a committee of three to receive bids
for supplies to bo furnished the senate ,
laid over yesterday under the
rules , was taken up and discussed
at length. Stewart of Sioux , who fathered
the resolution , demanded it on the ground
that It did not conflict with the prerogatives
of the secretary of state. Neither did it
clash with the resolution' adopted yesterday
directing the secretary of state to furnish
supplies upon requisition on the secretary of
the senate.
Tcfft renewed his objection to the
resolution and argued against it at length.
He took the position that it lay with the
regular standing committee on accounts and
expenditures to seu that prices charged for
supplies were not exorbitant. He did not
believe that the statute conferred upon the
senate power to receive bids for supplies or to
direct the secretary of state to receive such
bids. Ho thought perhaps It was a mutter
for legislative enactment.
Dy.snrt Di'Tiuuls Himself.
Stewart again came to the defense
of his pet resolution , but Darner opposed -
posed it and that settled it. The
final motion to adopt was put to the
.senate , and the yeas and nays demanded.
The roll call proceeded and when Senator
Dysart's name was reached ho arose to n
question of privilege. Ho desired to state
again his reasons for not voting , and said :
"I acknowledge that 1 am placed
in a peculiar situation in this body. In the
first place , I am a member of this senate
as an independent. In the second place , 1
have been stabbed in the face and in the
back by members of my party through the
newspapers of this stato. I desire that mj
position bo fully understood by the people ol
the state , and , in order that my oxplunatior
may be more fully comprehended , I desire

Tried to Shut it Off.
Senator North was quick to sco the drll
of matters and kindly came to th
assistance of his independent ullie :
who were rapidly falling into th
pit so cleverly dug by Dysart , b
endeavoring to shut off the reading , but th
chairman decided that the senator froi
Nuckolls county had the rlghtto have th
manifesto included in his personal explain
tlon.

At the conclusion of the reading Sei
ator Dysart asked to bo excused froi
voting on the adoption of the resolution , In
Senator Stewart objected. Senator Dysai
stated that ho had been excused from votln
until the permanent organization of tli
senate had been effected and ho claimed tin
the senate was not permanently organize
until after the votes had been canvassed , i
at least until the rules of the government <

Matters Thut Fill thu Intrmtlccg Between
tlio Ailjoiiriimeiilft.
LINCOLNNeb. . , Jan. 1'J. [ Special to THE
BEE.J The cheerful serenity which charac
terized the conduct , of the independents in
the senate has received a rude shock by the
action of the five democratic senators in voting
ing with the republicans this forenoon on
two important matters which the populists
had set their hearts upon. There are indi
cations that the combination which was
formed with so loud n flourish of trumpets
two nights ago has already began to
crumble , and that within a day or so the in
dependents will once more find themselves
In the minority. They were especially
anxious to adopt tne new rule governing
joint conventions of the two houses so that
tno speaker of the house would preside. This
was with them a party measure. They intro
duced the resolution ycsterdy afternoon , and
on objection of Senator Moore to Us considera
tion It went over for ono day under the rules.
This morning when it was brought up In
regular order four of the democrats voted
against it , Thomson excusing himself from
voting for the reason thut he was a member
of the committee that had adopted the re
port and recommended it to the senate. This
afternoon Senator Mattes offered a resolu
tion to the effect that tlio joint rules of the
session of IB'.H should govern the present ses
sion , and upon this proposition the demo
crats voted solidly with the republicans.
Upon the adoption of the resolution relative
to senate supplies , another pet project of the
independents , the democrats voted with thu
republicans with the exception of North.
Lobeck voted with the independents , and
thus the resolution was adopted.
Tliotio Asylum Indictments.

PiiH.vnnt.pHtA , Pn. , Jan. 12. The seven
teenth annual session of the American
Academy of Political and Social Science
convened this afterneon in the largo hall of
the Drexel Institute. The president of the
academy , Prof. IJdmund J. James of the
Wharton School of KInnnco nnd ticonomy
was In the chair. Heprescntatlve bankers
of Philadelphia , New York nnd IJaltliiHiro
occupied seats on the stage. The toplo of
the evening was "National vs State Hanks
of Issue. "
Papers had been submitted to the academy
on this subject by Hon. Horace While , editor
of the New York Kvcning Post ; by Hon. W.
U Trenholm of New York , ex-comptroller of
the currency ; by Mr. llarter of Ohio , and
by Hon. A. S. Hepburn , present comptroller
of the currency.
The discussion had a signllcauce ! beyond
that of an ncadeinte dobatc. Mr. Hepburn
represents Mr. Harrison's administration ,
and the three others .are known to be
friendly to Mr. Cleveland.
Mr. IVhllii'x Ki'inurks.
Mr. White gave a sketch of the good and
bad systems ot hanking that existed before
the war. In the former category were the
early state banks , the governing principle of
which was that the bank's assets should re
deem the circulating notes. This was , in the
speaker's opinion , the true theory of bank
ing.The
The bad systems that existed before the
war were the free banks , especially those
formed on the plan of issuing notes on secur
ities lodged with a publlo officer. The free
bank system was a stop backward , in the
evolution of banking , bccauso it absorbed the
bank's capital before its doors were open for
business.
Mr. White thought that the system of
banking on bonded security was destined to
perish soon , because all the securities ( It to
bo used for this purpose were fast disap
pearing. The national bank note system
could be preserved and Improved , however ,
by a very slight change in the present law ,
viz. , out of the present tax on bank notes ,
constitute a safety fund , to be lodged in the
treasury , the amount of it to bo computed by
actuaries , taking the national bank mortal
ity of the past twenty-live years as a basis.
"Let. the government continue. , aa now , " ho
said , "to bo responsible for the notes and
continue to hold , as now , a llrst lien on the as
sets and on tliopcrsanalliabilityofthoshare-
holders for its own protection ; all the other
parts of the national bank law to stand as
now. Whenever the safety fund reaches
the ascertained amount , let the participating
banks withdraw their bonds and sell them
if they choose. This plan would dispense
with the craving for silver currency , be
cause it would furnish all the circulating
notes needed , but it would dispense with the
need of state bank notes , because every
facility for sound banking that a state could
possibly grant would bo granted by the na
tional government. "
IMr. Ilnrtcr'H I'lun.
Hon. D. M. Hartcr of Ohio , using as a text
"American Banking and the Money Supply
of the Future , " laid down conditions , the
adoption of which were , in his opinion , es
sential to insure a successful linancial future
for the United States. The result was that
gold must continue to be , as it is now , the
solo standard of value in the United States
and that bimetallism can only bo maintained
by limiting the coinage of the other metal
( silver ) as we do now. The silly waste and
general insanity which marked the govern
ment purchases of pig silver must never be
repeated. The second was that the
government must stop the issue of
legal tender paper , retire It in the
best manner , und at as early a
date as can properly bo done , "all the paper
it has out nnd thereafter confine itself to
collecting taxes , disbursing the proceeds and
keep its hands off the money market. With
the government simply coining freely nil
gold and restricting the coinage of the baser
metuls , like silver , nickel and copper , every
other form of inouev would be promptly re
deemable or convert iblo into gold , and the
volume under any good banking system
would always bo within the business of the
national need.
Mr. Harter then discussed the bill intro
duced in congress and proceeded to answer
all the objections made to it and to the bank
ing system which would follow the passage.
This portion of his address , said the speaker ,
cleared up every objection made to date.
Under such a law we would never have too
little or too much money In the United
States ; it would always be promptly redeem
able in gold , and , therefore , equal to it , and
its flexibility and elasticity would marvelously -
ously assist business. Ho pictured the busi
ness of the United States free from con
gressional control , which would follow the
adoption of the system , and said that while
it very properly provided for state banking ,
the banking of the future would , In the
nature pf the case , bo very largely done
under national banks and by banks and
bankers not issuing notes.
State nnd National Dank Circulation.
A paper was submitted by Hon. A. S. Hep
burn , comptroller of the currency , on the
subject of "State and National Bank Circu
lation. " In substance it was ns follows :
"Tho constitution prohibits the states
from coining money or making anything ex
cept gold and silver legal tender. State
bank bills could not become legal tender ,
neither nro national bank bills. In times ol
prosperity state bank bills would clrculatt
freely , but In times of stringency they would
return to the banks for redemption , and thoj
would have to ho redeemed in leual tendei
money provided by congress. The const !
tutlon provides that congress must provide
all the money that possesses full dobl
paying power. Uy every consideration
of sound business principles il
should provide all the money the country
requires , if state bank notes are allowed to
circulate their acceptance becomes a nccos
slty. While the wealthy might provide
themselves with means of discriminating
against the notes of weak banks , to the uv
crago laboring man a bank note dctcctoi
would bo as inexplicable as the blnomia
thcoron. State bank circulation loses It !
money power in a crisis ; instead of payliif
debts il comes forward itself to be paid am
so adds to thu danger. There IH no mon
fallacious theory today than that wo oai
have good local currency. While a nott
might pass at par In Kansas and at u dls
count in Pennsylvania , Its purchasing powci
would bo equal in both places. The ills
count In Pennsylvania would bo equalled b ;
a corresponding Increase of the cost price ii

Privileges of Ciinnilliin KnllrnuiN.
AVASHixovrox , D. C. , Jan. li ! . The president
is still giving close consideration to the sub
ject of freights brought over the Canadian
Pacific railroad. Two new points were dis
covered today : That the original law
spoellled that the consular system was to be
applied to freights which were the products ,
of contiguous foreign countries only , and
that under the Canadian law the consular
officers guilty of frauds in United Slates
revenues are not amenable to arrest as long
us they remain in Canada. A large bulk of
the freights handled by the Canadian Paeillc
railroad , and which comb into this country
under consular seal arc the products of
other foreign countries , notably Japan and
China. Did this class of freight not en joy
the privilege of the consular.seal system ,
they would enter this country at an Ameri
can port and be transported by American
railroads. These two new imints are con
sidered important as giving the president
power , if he chooses to exercise it , of sus
pending the operation of the consular seal
system , without any action by congress.
