How PowrllViis Killed.
It Is Intimated that the Investigation thnt
will bo mndo Into the death of Convict
Powell tit the penitentiary will develop
the fact thnt ho did not commit suicide ,
but thnt ho wns strangled to duath
while undergoing punishment. Ills bunds
wcro handcuffed together buhlnd his back ,
nnd n cord attached to the cuffs drew them
up nearly to his shoulders. The cord then
mnde n loop nround his node In such shape
that If the muscles of the nrins wcro re
laxed and the hands lowered strangulation
would bo the inevitable result.
The evidence at the Iniuest | was to the
effect that ho bnd been In this position for
several hours , nnd Representative
Hums was evidently satisfied that the
jlenth of the convict was not duo to
his own volition , ns ho declared In
advocating the passage of his resolution
that ho wanted the legislature to say
whether or not a convict's llfo was any the
less dear to him than thnt of a person out-
nldo the wnlls of the penitentiary , nnd
whether or not the criminal forfeited
nil consideration as a human being
when the big Iron gates closed behind htm.
Ho called attention to tlio fact thnt innocent
persons wore sometimes convicted , nnd ho
did not want the stain of criminal Indiffer
ence to attach to the legislature when It was
ntatod that such a condition of affairs was
allowed to exist in the state penitentiary.

LINCOLN , Nob. , Jan. 14. [ Special to Tnu
BEB. ] Ninety-three members answered roll
call in the house this morning. No sooner
had the clerk begun the reading of the Jour
nal than Horst moved to dispense with that
formality.
Barry Insisted on the reading and It had
to go on.
At the close the reason of Barry's interest
was manifest , for ho moved to expunge the
portion relating to the Joint convention in so
far us It referred to the lieutenant governor
as the presiding officer.
Casper labored hard for several minutes to
convince the gentleman from Greeloy that
the -ituntlon had no special significance , as
the matter was not settled , and the fight
had merely been hold In abeycnco for the
tlmo being in order to canvass the returns ,
and It woidd como up later for definite
action.
As soon as Barry was satisfied that the Independent -
dependent cause would not bo prejudiced by
having the records as they % \cre , ho with
drew his motion to expunge , saying that all
ho wanted was to have a protest entered
nnd sco it answered from the other side.
Kloko was excused , with the statement
thnt Withnell had paired with him on all
political or lighting questions.
The secretary of state brought In the
papers nnd evidence in the contest cases , but
they wei-o returned to his custody to remain
until called for.
Rhodes introduced a resolution providing
that the house refused to recognize any rules
of 1891 or I Mill to govern joint sessions , as
none hud been adopted two years ago.
Casper piotestud against the consideration
of this question at this time , holding that all
"rassels" should lomo up at a tlmo when the
members felt moro like It , and the rcsolutloi :
was withdrawn.
AVIII Not Ask Hustings to Help.
On Woods' motion to take up the resolutions
tabled yesterday and consider them hi their
onlcr , Kockloy called up the ono introduce/
by him , requesting the attorney general to
assist In the prosecution of the parties now
under Indictment in connection with the
asylum UOals. ' '
Casper had ono objection to the adoptloi
of the resolution , nnd that was because i
hud been whispered nround the state house
thnt one of the members of the state board
had escaped Indictment by only two votes
nnd ho did not think that the nttornej
general would want to take part In the case
under those circumstance.- an unjust sus
picion might attach to him in case nothing
came of the prosecution.
. , This was news to Kecklov and ho with
1 drew the resolution , but gave notice that ot
Monday ho would introduce another provid
ing for n rigid Investigation of all the state
institutions.
Burns sent up n resolution calling for an
investigation Into the methods of punishment
mont employed at the penitentiary , demand
ing an inquiry Into the situation that led tc
the death of Convict Powell. It called fo
ono member of eacli party , and an amend
inent was tacked on providing that the com
mlttoo shoftld bo a sub-committee of th
standing committee on penitentiary , ii
which shape it was adopted.
Barry's resolution providing that no bill
for supplies should ho allowed unless sucl
supplies were furnished on a requisltto
from the clerk and with the price attached
was adopted.
Griffith sent up a resolution demandln
the chairman of each committee to rcpor
dally the names of all bills in his hands , an
the reason why the report on it was no
ready.
Howe insisted that it was impracticable
nnd the mover said ho was a now member
but understood that a great many bills hat
boon carried around indefinitely nnd never
reported on , and the resolution was aimed
ut tbut pernicious method of defeating a
bill.
bill.IIowo
IIowo Insisted that whenever the members
wcro satisfied thut this was the case they
could demand a report , and the resolution
was withdrawn.
Kynrr Alli-r tlio Khli.
Kyner had a kick comlngon the pages , and
ho wanted the speaker to make them sit
still in their chairs , quit chewing gum and
require them to otherwise deport them
selves so that the members who wore so .
seated that they had to look at the pages all
the tlmo would not bo driven crazy by their
antics.
Howe defended the kids , and they escaped
with their hair.
Griffith's resolution requiring the chair
men of committees to notify the mover of a
bill when It was to como up before the com
mittee , mot with the approbation of u ma i-
jority of the members. .
Scholp's motion to have 1,000 pamphlets ,
containing the two messages of the gover
nors , printed , brought on n discussion.
Porter insisted that they had already been
lu'.d all over the state and the weeklies
would have reproduced them before the
pamphlets could bo gotten before the people ,
and they would then bo stale news and
would not bo read.
IIowo stood up for precedent and urged
that It would not do to bo without the mes
sages to exchange with other states , which
always wanted a copy in thuir libraries ,
i Scholp suggested that It might bo well to
print a few hundred in the German and
Scandinavian languages , and thnt brought
Barry to his feet with a motion to print a
few hundred moro In the Irish language.
English will bo good enough , however , and
the number will bo just 1,000 , and no moro.
They Will Not Snlmcrlbe.
The newspaper question was again brought
up by Kloko. who moved that each member
bo allowed six dully papers , or their equiva L-
lent in weeklies.
ICeckloy raised the point thnt It was not
In the province of the house to appropriate
money for such a purpose , and when the
chair sustained him the members made up
their minds thnt they would have to buy
their own papers.
Porter cited the gentleman from York to
precedent , and the latter replied that ho
was always opposed to precedent If it was
vicious ,
Barry moved the appointment of E. J.
Carpenter as third assistant clerk , but under
the rules U had to go to the committee on
employes.
Stevens at once moved to Instruct the com-
tnltteo to report favorably , and that brought
Casper to lib feet In a hurry. *
I "I'm getting all-tired tlrod , " said the gcn-
Uouiuu from Butler , "of this Infernal custom

Boal of Cuiitor Introduced a resolution
scoring the two Lincoln iwiimni tl. : t nro at
war with organlwut labor nnd extending
sympathy to the striking printers.
llr. ItlckrtU llcnrd I'rom.
Keckloy's motion to tnblo prevailed.
Ulckvtts Of Douglas In explaining his vote
said that horse sense had IHJCII eulogized
several tttno * during the opening days of the
session , nnd ho had wntihod Its development
with Interest. He wnsopjiospd to playing to
the grand' stand r.nd hoped the members
would vote their convictions and not lot
themselves bo Influenced by probable oiloot.
He thought the house should not take sides
In this matter until the members knnw the
situation better , and could tell who was In
thn right and who in the wrong.
Crane revived the attorney general chest
nut and Stevens protested against stealing
glory from the proper prosecutor or
shouldering responsibility u | > on General
Hastings that he did not deserve.
Burns claims that the prosecuting at
torney wanted the proper assistance. Ho
thought the state should do nil It could to
unearth the stealings if any there were , nnd
If not the stnto board should be publicly
vindicated and exonerated.
Cr.ino said Ills object was to benefit the
attorney general , as aspersions had been
east upon him and the other members of the
board a short time before , and a similar resolution
elution had boon withdrawn.
Horst Insisted that it would do no good to
have Hastings assist in the prosecution , as
the defendants wore his fri'-nds. and other
parlies who might be Implicated wore mem
bers of the same board to which ho belonged ,
and it was too much to expect that he would
be very anxious to secure tbelr conviction.
SiiHprclcilVhltoTiitth ,
Felton of Nuekolls cast a dynamite bomb
Into the middle of the house by saying that
It looked to him like the beginning of a
whitewash , and ho thought It rather early
in the session to begin any such business as
that. He thought it strange that the Lan
caster delegation should bo so eager to
admit that there was no legal ability in
their county , nnd should want the attorney
general deputized to assist in tlie trial of this
case.
"Couldn't the attorney general use his po
sition as assistant prosecutor in this case to
defend himself ; " asked Stevens.
"Most certainly ho could , " was the reply.
McKesson said ho was not in favor of the
proposition , nnd wanted the gentleman from
Knuckolls to take back what ho had said
about the Lancaster delegation.
Felton merely said that ho was sorry if ho
had hurt the feelings of any member of that
delegation , and the action to table earriutl
once more ,
An effort to adjourn until Monday failed ,
and after the speaker announced thnt ho
would make public the standing committees
in the afternoon , an adjournment was taken
until 2 o'clock.
JiiK lllllft.
Seventy-two members answered to roll
call when the house assembled after recess.
The speaker called ICeckley to the chair and
retired to his room to once more wrestle with
the make-up of the standing committees.
The chair announced that the next in order
of regular business would bo the introduc
tion of bills. The scene which followed was
an amusing ono. A score or more members
wore on their feet frantically waving
bundles of manuscript above their heads.
Many were afr.iid to risk their pot measures
in the hands of the pages and carried them
to the clerk's desk themselves. Among
them was Nowberry , who dumped In front
of the chief clerk n roll of manuscript as big
around as a waste basket , and every ono
smiled , for they all guessed the nature of the
bill. All were anxious to have the dis
tinction of Introducing house roll No. 1
Finally after the confusion had in n measure
subsided Church Howe arose and deliber
ately called for recognition by the chair.
When ho had secured it. ho stated that ho
desired to introduce a bill. In this manner
the gentleman from Nemaha became the
father of house roll No. 1.

After the committees had been announced
the speaker stated that it would bo
necessary to appoint several additional
clerks , as the introduction of so many bills
required additional foolp to take care of
them.
G. R. Carpenter was nominated and
elected as third assistant'clerk.
Nominations wore then made for ono or
two other clerkships , when Porter raised
the point of order that it was Improper and
unfair to proceed with the election of com
mittee clerks when so many friends of the
ovoral candidates were absent.
Schappol moved that from this tlmo for
ward the speaker bo authorized to appoint
all employes recommended by the committee
on cmploycs.provlding that no employe should
bo npKlnted | until his services weronbso
lutely necessary.
IIowo favored the motion In vigorous
language , but Insisted that no clerk should
bo appointed until his services wcro neces
sary.
Stevens of Ftinms asked Howe if he would
take the same position if ho was speaker
and the republicans had control of the house.
Howe raised a laugh by retorting that ho
had never been speaker , and therefore could
not toll.
Ir\'in of Platte rebuked IIowo forgetting
up and "howling about n matter thnt had al
ready been settled , " and motion prevailed.
The speaker then announced the following
appointments : S. E. Johnson , messenger
for chief clerk ; G. L. Butler , bill clerk.
Van Duyn then moved an adjournment un
til 2 o'clock Monday afternoon. MeVoy
amended so ns to make It 10 o'clock Monday
and the motion us amended was carried.

Torniu , Kan. , Jan. 14. The crisis in the
cglslatlve conflict that has been waging be
tween the republicans and populists since
the day the legislature assembled has tidily
; > eon reached.
The poptilUt house has been recognized by
jolh the governor and thu senate , nnd the
[ Kiptillst state government is In a position
.o turn the republicans out. The only way
.0 pass thin crisis without serious trouble
nnd possible bloodshed Is the acceptance by
> otli sides of some compromise measure , and
that now seems the remotest possibility.
The only step wanting to bring the situa-
lon to a crisis was the recognition of the
: > opulist house by the sairito. Amid an ex
citing debate In the latter body today the
recognition was extended.
The state of feeling on the house side of
the capital may bo understood by the re
marks made by both speakers when the
action of the senate whs announced.
Mr. Douglass , the republican spanker , said
the principle of self-government was on trial
now ns It was ye-.irs ago and It would tri
umph now as it did then.
Mr. Dmismorosald the populist house bad
been legally organized and recognized and
that no power on earth save the sword could
dissolve It.
Despite this bitterness of feeling attempts
are being made by the leaders of cjich side
to bring about acompromise. . Both bouses
adjourned to 4 o'clock Monday afternoon in
order to Rive ample time for the conduct of
the negotiations. The governor has delayed
the transmission of his message for the same
purpose.
I'mcopilliiR * 111 tlio Scimto.
The senate reeognl/cd the populist wing
of the bouse of representatives today after a
long , lively and at times exciting debate.
The matter 01 recognition catno up when the
lieutenant governor laid before the senate
the house concur.cut resolution providing
fora joint committee to w.iit on the gov-
uinnr and inform him that both houses were
organized and ready for business.
The three fusion democrats , Messrs.
O'Drynn , Dillard and Taylor , led the .fight ,
against the adoption of tlio resolution.
Aided by thn republicans they filibustered
most of the day and it was 3 o'clock before
the voting began. The resolution was
adopted by a vote of 22 to 18.
The republic-nil member * filed a joint protest
against this action and the three fuslonists
Hied their individual protests. The senate

\Vnriii Tlinps In tlio House.
The two houses spent the time of their
sessions today waiting for action by the sen
ate upon the proposition to recognize the
populist houso. The time dragged wearily
along until II o'olixSlc , when the senate's chief
clerk appaared oil the lloor , and in a mes
sage from the presiding olllcer of the senate
informed Populist Speaker Dunsmore of the
recognition of hijyiouso.
The populists cficerod , but Republican
Speaker Douglass rapped for order , nnd
with nn earnestness that compelled the at
tention of even the populists said , address-
ng the republican house :
"Gentlemen of-Uib-house , allow yourselves
no uneasiness. The Almighty has wisely re
served the powcnUof creation , to Himself
alone. All the lia 3)rs on earth , senators
nnd governors iqxflfidcil , cannot make sixty-
three mcmout i6f fifty-eight men , nnd in
ovcry fret ) , representative foody'in tlio world
the majority governs. The principle of self-
government is on trial in Kansas today as It
once was years ago. B'jHt triumphed then
and it will triumph no1.- , The friends of the
constitution and the laws will soon stand a ?
ono man HI Kansas , regardless nf party. Thu
constitutional house of representatives with
sixty-seven lawful members Is here and
ready for business and hero it will remain
unterrlllcd nnd unawed. What is the further
pleasure of the house ? "
On the Other IIiilul.
Populist Speaker Dunsmoro was on his
feet Immediately after Mr. Douglass closed
speaking. He suld the struggle for the
mastery of the house had finally ended. The
governor and senate had nowlioth recognized
the populist house. That body was the
legally constituted house of representatives
and no power on earth save the sword could
dissolve it.
Hisses from the galleries and the repub
lican house greeted this utterance , but they
wcro soon drowned > ln populist cheers. Con
tinuing , Mr. Dunsmoro said :
"Before me are representatives of two
classes , farmers who follow the plow , and
railroad attorneys. This body over which I
preside nas now been recognized by the sen-
nto and governor. Whether wo are right
the people must Judge. All the competition ,
all the boodlelsm , all the general cusscdness i
of the republican party will not change the ,
situation one iota. The legality of organiza
tion aside , when wo adjourn until next
week I earnestly hope some scheme may bo
devised to adjust our dltllcultics , and in set-
tline them the interests of Dunsmoro need
not bo considered one minute. "
By mutual agreement both houses ad
journed until 4 p. in. Monday.
Just before adjournment the house mem
bers of the committee appointed to Inform
the governor that the legislature was ready
for business announced that the committee
had had an audience with the governor , and
thnt he had informed them that he would
transmit his message next Tuesday.
I'lUloii I ) < > cliircil Oir.
Not the least of the results of the split
house Is the dissolution of the compact foo-
tween the democrats and populists. Fusion
has been declared off.
Jerry Simpson notified Chairman Jones of
the democratic state central committee that
the partnership heretofore existing between
the populists and democrats had been dis
solved. The two had a lively interview.
"Wo want nothing more to do with your
crowd , " said Simpson.
"Wo are quite ready to quit yoj , " replied
Jones.
Then Simpson said that the two parties
had to dissolve partnership some time , and
it might as well comn now as any time.
"Two years from now , " ho said , "wo will
lick both the old phi-ties. "

The populist logtslaturo had no sooner
gained recognition Jlwu it began to sue for a
compromise. Th first resolution it adopted
was one providing that everybody except
members should uo ivmoved from the house
and galleries Moiidfty" and the members of
the rival houses should attempt to como to
some understanding. There are many rea
sons why the populist legislature wants an
amicable settlement ,
The legislators fear thnt the United States
senate will not recognize a senator elected
through n house organization of only fifty-
eight uncontested members five less than a
quorum. In order to make its quorum the
populist speaker has had the clerk road
the names of twenty republican members
present but not voting under the Speaker
Reed decisions of the lust national houso.
Moreover there Is danger of the appropria
tion bills all being tied up by legal jion-css.
Public sentiment outside the jxipulist ranks
is against them. All the state officers have
attempted to procure peace. The action of
the three populist-democratic senators today
In opposing the concurrent resolution recog
nizing the populist house has warned the
leaders thut disintegration is liable to fol
low.

lInt.r.NA , Mont. , Jan. 14. The first week of
the balloting for Montana's United States
senator closes without advantage to any
candidate. Today's vote brought into the
field a dark horse in the person of Timothy
K. Collins of Great Falls , democracy's re
cently defeated candidate for governor.
It is now generally believed that Clnrlfo
cannot bo ducted , as the Dixon vote , which
is controlled by Mntvus Daly. Is standing
out solid against tlio greatest pressure.
Should Clarke's forces waver It Is expected
the larger portion would go to Hauser.
Either Hauser o r Collins would probably
carry the full strength of the democrats In
the legislature , and with one populist could
bo elected. Populist Beceher voted for Col
lins today , but it la a question whether the
latter can hold him. The other two popu
lists still stay by their party's candidate ,
Mulvlllo , while Siunders ; holds the full re
publican strength. No change in the situa
tion Is expected before Tuesday or Wednes
day.
