When the independents were clamoring for recognition and the lieutenant governor 'deliberately overlooked them to recognize 'Watson ' , n mighty protest went up from the independents , but their roar of angry remonstrance - monstrance immediately changed to a laugh of derision when the chair announced : "Ho ipatient , gentlemen , the chair will treat you 'all ' fairly. " "This looks like it , " was the retort that nroso from several parts of the house , but the chair did not turn a hair. It was the program mapped out by the republican leaders to force three ballots , though even In that event no election was expected today. It would merely have 'thrown ' down the bars for extra ballots to- , inorrow , when the great struggle was to 'Imvo been mi'do. The game was blocked by Wurdlaw , the lloat representative from Sallno. und ( iago , who was at this time representing the Paddock end of the light. Ono thing Is certain , and that Is Mr. Ward- law did it with his llttlo vote. IN TIIK HKNATK. Very Husy ny Spent hy the Ilonorablo f Ilody III I.oKlslntliiK. LINCOLN , Neb. , Fob. a. [ Special toTnr.

K"or the first time In the session the Doug las county contests ctuno up for serious con sideration , and a long and somewhat ani mated disousslon took place ever the follow ing resolutions. Introduced yesterday hy Senator Habcock , and laid over under the rules : Wlion-as , On thonlitday of January , 1R93 , thn fi'iiato of the slntoof Nobranka piissod a resolution authorizing thi > committee on priv ileges and elections to compel the production of persons and papurs before them to nsnl.sl In ( lutt'rmlnliig the election contests in Douglas county ; and , Whisrens , ! ' . J. Sarkutt , county clerk of said Douglas county In pursuance of a siibpa-im served upon him , bus appeared before your committee and has with him the ballots ami ] KI | | hooks ; unil , Whereas , Your committee would respect fully ask that this body tuki ; such action us Is necessary to authorlsulil county clerk < > f Douglas county to turn the samu over to the proper person. Your conimlllce would theru- fore report that It has found the proci't'dlngi to be : t I'lrst That the Honatn authorize thn county clerk to turn over ( ho ballots und poll books to Iho presiding olllcer of the senate , and that thereupon the ballots shall lie op MUM ! by snid presldlnitolllccf In the mi'sonre of the senate. Second -Thai upon the ballots being opened , the M'tinte can ihun turn said ballots over to the chairman of the committee on privileges und elections. Your committee has found the. above pro ceedings to ! > < In arcoidance with the require ments of tin ) statutes. The discussion arose over an amendment offered yesterday by Senator TelTt providing that the ballots bo counted in the presence of the senate. This morning Tcfl't moved that all that part of Senator HabcocU's re- ] > ort relative to the course of procedure in regard to the disposition of the ballots be stiicken out , but an objection being made ho withdrew his motion and insisted upon the consideration of his amendment yesterday that the ballots bo counted In open session. D.ilo wanted to know how long It would take the senate to count the ballots und Cor- i ell nearly Jolted the life out of the amend ment by saying that there were 211,000 bal lots , each filty-two Inches long , nil neatly folded up and stitched with thread. Darner thought the work could be better done by Iho committee on privileges and elections. At the proper time ho would move for the enlargement of that committee for the reason that at the present time but two parties weiv represented on that com mittee , und he thought that the Injection of a little of the populist faith in the delibera tions of the committee would secure fairness und insure an unprejudiced report. Senator Habcock practically settled the adoption of the amendment by saying that , as chairman of the committee on privileges and elections lie hoped it would bo ngrccdito. He believed that the ballots should bo counted in open session. Senator Graham wanted to know if , in the papers already before the committee , It had been alleged that there had not been a fair count. Senator Habcock replied in the af firmative. Then Graham threw a dash of cold water on the amendment by asserting that It would bo a long and tedious Job for the senate to listen to the counting of 23,000 ballots. Kven after the votes had been counted the senate would not Do able to form aij unbiased judg ment unless it heard the evidence read. Senator Pope was emphatic in his opinion that the ballots should bo counted in open session. If fraud had been alleged there was no other way out of it. The senate must count the ballots. After further discussion the amendment was agreed to and then the report as amended was adopted. The examination of the poll books and ballots was made a special order for Tuesday , February 7 , at 2 : 0 p. m. Iliick to MlacrllitucoiiA Items. By resolution of Senator Bubcock F. J. Sackett , clerk of Douglas county , was directed to turn over the poll books and ballots to the secretary of thfc. senate. Senator Darner offered a resolution pro viding for the appointment of a standing committee on Insurance , to consist of Sena tors Stewart , Dale , Hale , Gray und Mc- Donuld. TelTt moved to strike out that part of the resolution designating the members of the committee. Egglcston's motion to lay the whole matter on the table shut off dis cussion and was agreed to. Senator Harris then offered a resolution to tho.nnVct Mat Senator Churko be excused on , account of sickness. Tbo resolution brought forth a storm of protests from both demo crats and republicans. Harris explained that his object was simply 0:10 of courtesy ; but that particular kind of courtesy didn't go with the other side , and the resolution was voted down with u vigor that startled the statesman from Ncinahu. The following bills were Introduced and read for the first time : By Gray To regulate saloons. By Pope To prohibit the sale of oleomar garine. By Pope To prohibit the sale of impure drugs and foods. By Pope To prohibit certain persons from climbing on railroad trains while in motion. Senate files MO to Ki'J inclusive were read the second time , after which the senate ad journed to go Into joint convention on the election of a United States senator. After the Joint convention the senate adjourned. IN TIIK HUUSi : . Appropriation ! ) fur tlin Support of State In. Htltutloim Liberally Cut. LINCOLN , Neb. , Fob. a. [ Special to THE BEE. ] The house gave Us attention at this morning's session Ip bills on third reading and passed house rolls Nos. 41 , 20 , 50 , 70 and 20. A recess was then taiten until time for the joint convention. The appropriation bill for state institutions was the special order taken up by the house at the afternoon session , Jensen was called to the chair to preside over the deliberations of the committee of the whole. Several of the members opposed taking up the appropriation Dill at this time , as none of the reports wore ready and the members could not uct Intelligently , i Woods opposed postponement. Ho knew that it was the belief of more than half the people In Lincoln that the house was "get ting feeler and feeler every day , " and he coincided In that opinion. A motion to postpone for a week was lost by un overwhelming vote , nnd the discussion of the bill was declared to bo In order. The governor's office was the first to receive at tention. Gerdcs moved to strike out the $2,000 ap propriation for house rent. Casper defended it , as the state did not provide an executive mansion. The amend ment was lost und the report of the commit tee was adopted , cutting down the amount asked for from f 1,000 to 2,800. The adjutant's ofllco was cut from fOOO , as asked , to MM ) according to the bill. The commissioner of labor was cut by the bill to f 1,000 , whereas 4,100 was nsked. The bill gave the secretary of state -2S50 , Insteaaof thofl , 100 asked for. Casper com plimented Secretary Allen for cutting his estimate to a comparatively low figure. The bill cut the auditor from 1,000 to $3.VKX ) . Traveling and Incidental expenses were cut from all the bills. Kcyes asked how they were to travel. Casper replied that they all hud passes , and that the old legislators ought to know It from their own experience. Ko.ves then wanted to know what would bo the result after the passage of the anti- pass bill that was in the hands of a com mittee. . Howe replied that Ho would pay the railroad - . road fare of all state ofilrt-M after the legis lature passed that bill. Not an independent asked the gentleman from Ncmaha to sign a contract to that effect. The treasurer was given $000 Instead of the 1-UX ) asked for. Other Ui'i-p Slushes. The bill further provides for the cutting of the appropriation for the ofllco for the super intendent of public Instruction from ? lf > , - 'JT.'i , us recommended , to f5,02 , > . Attorney general , from $2,700 to 1900. A vigorous fight was made to Increase the postage allowance of this office from $200 to JlOO , and later to 500 , but without success.

State library from $7 , )0 ) to M.llX ) . I'nri'ly I'rrmiiiul. The big fight came on the appropriation for the normal schools at Pom , which was ffi. ! )0 ) Instead of the $11.'too asked for. Sheridan engineered the battle , and claimed that this was the only appropriation that did not show a material reduction from that of two years ago. Ho charged that It was duo to the fact that the school was lo cated In Ncmaha county , and ho was opposed to discriminating in favor of any ono institu tion. He offered amendments cutting every Item in the appropriation. Howe combated the idea , and stated that the appropriation of two years ago was much lower , comparatively , for this Institu tion than any of the others , and that the fig ures proposed by the committee this year were still as low In proportion ns those of any other of the state Institutions. Ho had the committee with him , and all of the amendments were defeated. Ilitil run with Ames. The provisions of the bill so far ns read were adopted and the committee rose to re port progress and ask leave to sit again. Ames was called to the chair , and although It was the desire of all the members to ad journ Immediately , It being nearly 0 o'clock , they could not resist thu temptation to take advantage of the inexperience of the speaker pro tern , and for ten minutes they gave him a touch of parliumcnlurv high life. Motions , amendments und substitutes were piled upon him without regard to sense or order and rulings were demanded on nil points that fertile imagination could conceive. Ames stood it until the real moaning of the situa tion dawned upon him and then summarily declared the house adjourned. His fellow members from Douglas county were the leaders of the onslaught made upon him and he took It as good naturcdly us did the mem bers on the floor. roi.ici : Am : NOT rin.\sii > . Kynpr's l.i'Klsliitlvo Hill Allertliig Metro politan I'ollei ) Krinriieil Upon ll re. Mr , Kyner's bill rclattvo to the metropol itan police force is meeting with u reception from Omaha onieerstliat is decidedly frigid. The bill is to comeTjoTore the legislature and it proposes raising salaries of patrolmen tenet not less than $75 nor more than § 8. ) per month. Officers' salaries are not affected. To offset this it nnolislics court fees for policemen attending trials. At present patrolmen receive $75. ser geants 85 ami captains $100 per month. While there is no denying that the police are a unit in tno desire for better salaries , many of them make considerably more out of their court fees than the proposed raise would give thorn. A very largo proportion of the men protest against the bill which , wliilo purporting to bo an increase in pay , lias exactly the opiwslto effect. Ono of Iho oldest officers on the force said in speaking of the bill that if it was brought before the legislature it would bo the worst thing that could happen , as it would effect a practical reduction in the salaries of three-fourths of the officers und at the sumo time have a tendency to militate against the efficiency of the force. The abolishment of court fees would remove ono of the incen tives to energeticpursuitof criminals. Another feature of the proimsod bill Is that all officers shall receive full pay when laid off on account of sickness or injury. It is claimed that tills measure would encour age officers to be ill on the slighcusolest ox und some of the drones would lay off a good deal of the time unnecessarily and receive the same pay as men who worked faithfully the year round. It is understood that ono or two of the officers who have fathered the proposed bill have gene to Lincoln to en deavor to secure Us support by the Douglas county delegation on the supposition that it reflects the sentiment of the entire police department. FnOUltAM IN KANSAS. Uepubllotin and Populist Houses Divide the Time. TOPEICA , Kan. , Fob. 3. All hope of settling the muddle In the house bus been abandoned and the two organizations have settled down , quit quarreling nnd agreed to divide the time on the llopr from now to the close of the session. The republicans meet in the fore noon and the populists in the afternoon. The populists will follow the regular forms of legislation hereafter and the bills will bo passed without regard to the republicans. Only such bills as cannot immediately be attacked in the supreme court will be passed , and at the close of the sessions appropria tions for the expenses of the legislature and the state government and the state institutions will bo adopted. Then they will adjourn and lot the republicans do their worst. Should the supreme court declare the laws of the populists to bo void and the governor call an extra session of the legisla ture , the populist house will come back just the same and go through the form of ro- passing the same laws. Of course , u tangle in the affairs of the state will result und it will continue until after the next general election in 18U4 , when a now house will bo chosen. The populists profess ( o have no fears of the result of the election. They do not believe that the re publicans will dare to attack the populist laws and thus tlo up the state government. They bollovo too , that public policy would compel the Wuprouio court to recognlzo the populist house as a de facto house and sus tain its laws. Itl.'SUll.niSSIOX IIKFKATKU. No Hope. Tor the Kcpeal of Prohibition In South Dultotii lit Present. Pirnmn , S. D. , Feb. S. [ Special Telegram to Tin : BEE. ] It Is generally admitted now that the resubmission light is over and both sides are settling down to business. An inspoo lion of the vote reveals that the north two- thirds of the stuto voted against the south third und the Black Hills. The former sec tion cast only seven resubmission votes and the latter only six for prohibition. The de feated resubmlsslonists are very angry and some members are talking wildly about or- ganlicd opposition to measures supported by the northern part of the state. It is the general opinion that no business of im portance will bo transacted for several days until the wounds opened by the fight have healed. The committee to investigate Brookings college this morning dispatched U. N. Craw ford with subpo nus to bring hero all parties interested in the scandal. The committee tills afternoon ashed the senate for permis sion to go to Breakings. Great efforts are being made to hush the matter up , but there is no question that a searching inquiry will be made. The World's fair question was the special order of business in the house today , but was postponed till Wednesday next to avoid the resubmission row. : < iiitu.Ht. CIIE.YENNE , Wyo. , Poh. 8.
