[ Special Telegram to Tnr.Br.K. ] "No perceptible change in tlio condition of any of the patient * , " was the bulletin give.i out by the political doctor at midnight. There was another slight influx of boom promoters this evening , but" tlio rotundas presented a less lively appearance than for hpverai nights past. Ono reason was the presence of Henry Wattorson , who delivered his lecture tonight on "Money and Morals" at the Lansing. When the distinguished Kentuckian left the Lincoln ho took the lobby and several of the legislators with him , and it was estimated that fully one- third of the audience of l,80i ) that was pres ent at the theater was made up of the legis lative contingent. The usual sights were seen around the hotel after the lecture ; the intensity of Mon day's and Tuesday's notes was lacking. No material change is looked for in tomorrow's ballot , although Majors may decide that it is t'.tno to take his strength out of tlio Tliurston camp. It Is understood on the In- aldo that Majors has seven votes that will uncover for Tliurston and stay thcro until the strength of the latter becomes too threatening , when the plan of the lieutenant governor Is to pull them out in a bunch and kill at once the chances of the Omaha candi date. llonnit lo Oust the ( trpnldloiun. The information comes tonight that the fate of the republican contingent in the house from Douglas county is scaled. The report of thu committee will bo submitted Monday or early Tuesday morning , and will bo in fuvor of ousting all of them. The com. mlttco has listened to Clio reading of about 600 of the X ) pages of evidence , and ono of the members remarked tonight : "There is no necessity of going any further , for our minds are inadu up. " The committee will , however , make a pre tense of continuing its work solely'to give It nn appearance of decency , and the at- tornoj swill bo given an opportunity to say what is weighing on their minds , but unless something unexpected happens the report Is practically agreed upon. Certain it Is that the report will precipitate the liveliest light that has como beforu the house. Internet of the ImU'pcndcnts. The question has been asked , "What rea son have the independents for desiring to turn out these republicans ! " Tlio answer is to bo found in the scna torial situation. The Independents have become come convinced that it is thu intention o the corporations to do all In their power to make Crounso ticnator in order to get bin out of the gubernatorial chair , and put in his place tliclr preferred candidate the present lieutenant governor. The populists are determined to prevent this , as they see in It the certain destruction of al that they have hope to achieve. They have made up their minds that the only hope that Is left them is to keep Crounso hrtho executive tivo office , and they will assist in ousting the seven Douglas county republicans In the house ns a means to that end. There has been a great deal of talk in favor of allowing the colored representative , Dr. Hickotts , to remain , but even this is not cprtain in view of what the independcnts'aro disposed to ro gnrd as a very critical situation. The contest cases in the senate have no been taken up as yet , but the feeling is there , and It could not bo disguised , oven i nn attempt was made to hldo It. Senator on the < Jnl Vlyr. Senator Paddock Is coming nearer uccom pllshlng the difficult feat of being in n do/ei places at once than any of the other cand ! dates. Ilo Is Vrofesscdly happy , and claim the earth and the fullness thereof. The onli thing that has happened to disturb his out I ward calm is the re | > ort that ho luu I negotiated a IX,000 ) loan on his Omahi i property , as ho needed the money to help along Ills senatorial campaign , ilo waxed 1 Indignant when ho hoard it , and deprecated 1 u dipping into private affairs that would not f bo thought of under other circumstances. i In speaking of the affair , he said : "A few years ago I built a block lu Omaha ou lots that I had owned twenty years at a ! cost of about * Tr.,000. 1 also built at Hoat- I rlco n block , hotel , opera house and nlno 1 stores , which cost mo ubout SlTO.OiK ) .

When a man stands up for Nebraska , as 1 have done , by borrowing money to make valuable Im provements ; * ns I have done in.this case , he Is at least entitled to protection from the charge of making a now loan on hot lor terms to renew an old one , because ho needs the money to corrupt the members of the legis lature for any purpose \vliutovcr , " Hurrying Up Appropriation ) ! . The hoitso committee on tlnanco , ways and means met at 8 o'clock this afternoon and remained in session for thrco hours , transacting - acting more business than was ever disposed of before by a similar committee In the same time in the history of Nebraska legislatures , Appropriations for the ntato insti tutions and various branches ol the state government occupied the larger part of the session and more than hall of the appropriations wt-ro agreed upon. The trouble has been heretofore that appropvln- Moils wore kept luck until the lust wcok ol th"-vision , thus giving the senate hut i Mwt llmo to consider them and compolllii ; the house to concur in thu scr.ato'8 notion ! however oxtr.ivng.ini. tli > < action of the won ate may have been.

It Is stated tonight that the senate com- ilttcoon privileges and elections is partic ularly desirous of lifting the scalp of Senator Clarke , but feel less bloodthirsty in the case ) f Senator Ixjbcck. It Is said to be figuring in how it may scctiro the ousting of the ' ( inner and at the trimc time offer a reasona- > Ie excuse for allowing the latter to retain its seat. Several of Iho constituents of Theodore imlth , float representative of Johnson nnd Nemaha counties , are in the city and have taken a position astride the neck of that cglslator during the past twenty-four hours tecause of his failure to comply with his in structions. As Is well known , the Nemaha lelcgatlon was Instructed for Howe for senator , but Smith took it upon himself to ast hl.-i vote for that other Nemaha states- nan who hails from Peru. He was repeat edly urged by some of tlio members of the instructing committee to carry out its bo- icst , hut ho Informed them that ho had ntich different arrangements. Ho subse quently stated that ho voted for Majors be cause tlio latter had promised the appoint- nent of ono Flanagan of Tecutusch , Smith's preferred candidate , for the office of oil in spector. The obstreperous representative lason this account been dubbed "Flanagan Smith. " ICronoiny Depend * on thn Alan. It is to be feared that a number of the lemocratlc and independent members df the senate are talking through the roofs of their lints when they profess to bo in favor of economy. Sevcr.il of them have made a great ado over the small expenditures that were calculated lo benefit the republican members , while they have unblushlngly re corded themselves In favor of other matters Intended for lliu exclusive benefit of the in dependents. For instance , a great fuss was made by some of the independents over the matter of supplying each mcuibar of the sen ate with copies of daily newspapers. Yet today when it was proposed to place a do'ii committee clerks on the payroll , without reference to the fact that their services were not likely to bo needed until some time hud elapsed , most of the independent members took the attitude of opposing the economy advocated by Sena tor Tefft. The matter will b3 disposed of tomrrow , and the independent senators will have an opportunity to go on record for or against tlio reform. The point to the whole matter lies In the fact that the s'jperlluous clerks will all bo independent strikers. Some of the commit tees which the Independents are determined to supply with clerks for the entire session are not likely to hold more than linlf a dozen meetings. A clerk would bo an obvious in- cumbiiince , but so long as the clerk votes the independent ticket and denounces the extravagance of republican officials they must bo taken care of tit the expense of the people uf the .state. o HKXK.U'11 CltVKf 11'llHKr.S.

A stop was made nt Hate's cafe , whcro supper was had. and to lengthen iho period of enjoyment a round-about return course was taken. They worn singing merrily when they approached the Lonsdalo cross ing on the Worcester division of the Con- I rolldatcd road. A high stone wall shuts off I the view of the railway at tills grade. When the party arrived at the crossing the headlight of an engine was within twenty-live feet of them. This was an engine drawing the freight from Worcester , and it was running at eighteen milc.s an hour. Uoforo tlio party could reali/.u tholr terrible peril tlio cngino was upon them.

He left Columbus for Cleveland Thursday morning , whcro ho visited the university with reference to securing an instructor to take charge of manual training in the State university. Ho remained In Cleveland with his son Webb and left Saturday afternoon for Fremont. Ho was striven in a close carriage - riago to the union depot , whcro his son joined him , and immediately after entering the carriage ho complained of n cold nnd nskcd for stimulants. Ho went into a waiting room where stimulants were given him. These so relieved him that he insisted on returning to the train , saying ho was nil right. "I would rather dlo In Spiegel Grove , " ho said , "than llvo anywhere else. " After his return to the car ho was seized with violent pains In the chest , which lasted until after his rottiQi homo. Ho was treated for nnginn pcctoris , but while relieved of dis tress Ills heart never recovered its vigor , nnd life was suddenly terminated by paralysis of the heart. While lying in his own room he frequently referred to n visit made to his wlfo's grave made on the preceding Sunday , and spoke of the quiet beauty of the snow- covered scene. Ho said he almost wished ho was lying there by the sideof his wife. It wns all most peaceful , "And yet1 ho said , " 1 nm not unhappy. My life Is an exceptionally happy one.

The senators who came early to the capitol this morning conferred together and decided that the sen ate should adjourn Immediately after read ing the journal , as n token of respect for the deceased. Senator Sherman was perhaps more in timately associated with ex-President Ilnyes than nny other 'senator , nnd , as n member of his cabinet , , was officially asso ciated with his administration. Ho was deeply moved , and , ufter-tho senate had ad journed nt his own potion , he said : " 1 know him as well , perhaps , as any ono man can know another.

Advocate General Hau , at the Panama trial , continued his address today against the accused directors of the Panama canal enterprise. He said that the defendants could riot llhd shelter' under 'the law of prescription , ns the offenses charged had been committed within the past thrco years , although originating earlier. Tlio issue of the lottery was a swindle , the re ports published contained Inaccurate figures intended to mislead the public , and fraudu lent underwriting syndicates were formed , for all of which Ferdinand do Lesseps and the others accused were equally responsible. Eiffel was tin accomplice in the frauds , ho receiving money well knowing that it was part of the proceeds of the swindle. The advocate general , continuing , said that the hand of the defendants was manl- fesj through the maneuver to which they re sorted. Botli Ferdinand and Charles de Lcsseps had inado a tour through the provinces with the object of reviving the ardor of the subscribers to the Panama en terprise , and with that purpose they made statements full of lying promises to their hearers. Eiffel , through breaches of trust , had obtained nearly ! 2. > ,000,000 francs. Eiffel's contract with tlio Panama company hud been absolutely valueless so far as any results in work were concerned. Since that contract Eiffel had executed scarcely any portion of the work ; ho had supplied hardly any material ; ho had simply embezzled the company's funds. In conclusion , tlio advo cate general demanded sovcro punishment for the men , who , in order to attract capi tal , had recourse to every kind of tricks and fraud. A flno would not bo sufficient pun ishment ; Justice demanded that such crimes should bo severely 'repressed. rarlliimontary Imiulry. The first witness before the parliamentary commission of inquiry today was M. Stepheno a clerk in the service of Baron do Uclnach's partner , M. Proppcr. He said that Baron do Uclnach had left him a list of the persons compromised in the distribution of Panama money. Among tlio names on the list wcro Doves , Grevy , Hoche , Du Guo , do la Foucan- nie. , Kouvier , Floquot , Proust , Konault , Iiirbe , Bernl and Thovcnet. Several of the names were repeated on the list , ns the men Indicated had received Panama money more than OIICP. The whole listcontnined the nnmcs of more than lOOdoputies who had been bene ficiaries of the Panama fund. The sums paid these men varlnd between 1,000 , U.OOO and il.OOO francs each. M. Stephono said ho gave the list to M. Clcmenceau , who ho thought could make the best use of it. Considerable questioning by Chairman Urisson elicited many additional facts which went to show that , M. Stepheno had in his possession a list similar to the ono photographed for M. Andrieux. M. Stophcno was requested to wait in the , com mittee room while M. Clemonccau was being summoned from the Chamber. Five minutes later Clemencoau arrived with the messenger who hud been sent to him with n request that ho appear nt unco bo fore the commis sion to answer to some testimony given concerning - corning him. Chairman Brlsson repeated briefly what Ai. Stepheno said. M. Clomenceau denied emphatically that ho had over received a list of compromised deputies from anybody. Ho had not oven heard of such a list from Baron dii Reinach or anybody else connected with him in business. M. Stophtiiio was then recalled nnd re peated his former testimony without varia tion , directly contradicting everything that M. Clcmenceau had said. The Dobats says tlio police have found BOO chocks paid by AJ Arton , the Panama lobby ist nnd agent of Baron do Helnach , and en dorsed by conspicuous men. It is .supposed that most of these checks were drawn in favor of the fourteen deputies , among whom M. Audrieux said Arton was commissioned to spend J.itSO.OOO francs.
