to ascertain what the republicans would do
cldo to do This was , In fact , the Intentions
of the republicans nnd they drifted to the
usual meeting place after supper , fully
expecting thai another conference would beheld
hold , but ftor Informally talking over the
situation with each other In the rotunda , the
idea seemed to prevail thai a conference
was not necessary al this tlmo nnd the mem
bers gradually drifted away again , whllo the
Independents gravitated back to the Undcll
Allen U Strong.
That the sltuallon Is precarious as viewed
from the republic n standpoint , admits of no
dispute. Tlio Independents have In Judge
Allen a candidate who will receive their
solid support nnd the cloven democrats who
voted for him today can piobably bo de
pended iiioii | to do ns well by him
on Monday as they did on the last
billet taken His not probiblo that the
five democrats who held out todiy w III go to
him on Monday , jet It is by no means Impos
sible thai ono of Ihcm might Jlcld to the
powerful pressure that Is being brought to
bear , In which case the icpubllcans
would bo fotced to demand a call of the
house.

They stand in need of twelve democratic
votes , whllo Clarke is awa\ , but would need
thirteen if howero In his soit This Is why
they have been so anxious for the past two
dajs to have him excused As It now Is , If
they secure their slxtj-six votes the proba
bilities are that the republicans would de
mand a call of the house , vv hlch would block
further proceedings until Clarke could bo
brought hcie , nnd which would at
the same time put them lo Iho
necessity of scaring up another
voto. It was stated jestcrday that
Senator Clarke was i.ipidly convalescing ,
but the Information is given out tonight that
ho has suddenlv become a very sick man
again , and that his presence hero , during the
earlier ilhjs of Iho week at least is entirely
out of the question In view of the slgnlll-
canco of this state of affairs there is llttlo
doubt that the Independents will make a
vlgorots effort on Monday either lo excuse
the sick man or repeal the rule which pro-
v ides for u call of the house.
AIIJ thing Mil } Happen.
The danger in the situation lies in the fact
that the opposition is so near the jumping
off place that accidents aio oxticmcly liable
to happen , and all the moro so because of
the great number of prominent boosters on
the other side w ho are trj Ing to crowd the
lomnlnlng vote over into the pool
Several of the supposed leaders of
Nebraska democracy who are anxious to
curry favor with tno coining national admin
istration are fully convinced that llio raosl
offcclual waj of doing so would bo to assist
in perfecting a successful combination that
would prevent the rotuin of a icpubltc.in to
the United Statcssenatc I3v-GovcinorBojd
Is ono of these who may bo classed In
this category and ho Is aided and abetted in
his undci taking by Judge Chailes Ogclen of
Omaha , who has been his light bower for
Bomo years past. It is stated on good
authority thai it was Judge Opden who sent
llio telegrams" to Now York , which called
forth telegraphic Instructions this morning
to every democratic member of the legisla
ture.

Shortly after 9 o'clock each of the bourbon

The vvajs and means committee did not es

Griffith moved to raise the appropilation

Sodcrman said the supeuntcndcut nlvvajs
nsked tin eo times as much mono } as they
actually needed.
Casper quoted the prices on husk mat
tresses , sheets and comforters and asserted
that the appiopriation of $3,000 would fur
nish 500 now beds , or two beds for every in-
nmto
131dcr offered an amendment to the amend
ment , making the amount $2,000. Both
amendments weto lost.
Some Interesting Convcrimtloit.
Griffith then offered an amendment raising
the appropriation for board and clothing from
$07,000 to 75,000. Ho quoted from the re
port of the supeiintendent to show that the
average of boat ding patients was 1 bj per
week , and that two yeais ago there weie 103
patients in the institution , whereas at the
picsent tlmo there were 300.
Schelp attacked the figures quoted and de
clared that theyvvcio inconcct , and this
bi ought forth the retort from Burns that the
figures vv ere made by good democratic au
thority.
Then the house Jumped onto the amend
ment In a dozen places at onco. Dobson de
clared that the patients could bo kept for
less than $ -1 03 per week.
"Yes , If jou run the asylum like the tobcls

The amendment was lost Then the house
took up the appropriation for the Hospital
for the Insane at Norfolk. The only man
who had an amendment was Luikart , who
wanted $500 additional to start a lawn and
plant shade trees Ho did not got It , in splto
of the fact that Elder declared It the duty of
the independents to make two blades of
grass where but ono glow before Ho wanted
to stand up for Nebraska , if it did cost the
state $ .100 to laiso grass on a sand hill.
Dobson raised a 1 High by declaring tint

talked over when the session adjourned Fil-
day evening When Picsident Thompson
rappea for older at 10 o'clock every delegate
was ptcscnt , and the South Omaha exchange
was well eiowded with visitors Delegates
from Chicago , Poor ! i and Sioux City occu
pied the light side of the hall , these from
Kansas City , St I uis and South Omaha

ordei of business the delegates oppressed
thrlr thanks to the icpresuntatlv oof the B

The c\chinRC then took up the discussion
on lumpy Jaw cattle nnd Fiank Cooper
of Kansas Cltj spoke at some length on the
question it was a cnmullcatod one , In
his opinion , and it often biought about
conflicts with city nuthoilties The
true solution of the question would bo
to have an inspector at each scale ,
w ho should bo Invested with city authority
as well as that of the exchange , which would
have the effect of making a dcllnlto settle
ment betw ecu bu.or . and seller Also to cdu-
cato the people ns to what "lumpy law"
really is , to the end that owners of block be
not lobbed because of false notions or ig
norance ns to what is healthj food These ,
in his opinion , were the two questions to bo
settled

A number of delegates took part in the
discussion , all favoiing radical changes
in the manner of inspection Mr
Hogeis of Kansas Cit\ wanted a mil-
foim uiodo of inspection which would
enable western j arils to send a ceitillcate of
inspection with cattle forw aided to Chicago
or other maikets futthor east , so that cattle
foi wauled as sound cannot "be. subjected to
condemnation a week later , thus dclaving

and the question was called for , but Wood of

tagious lln called attention to ono noted
case in particular of a cow w Ith u lump as
big as a vv oodcn bucket , w liich has been with

Inoculating them. Colonel Savage made
an earnest plea for some action which would
induce the appointment of inspectors who
understand their business and who would
not simply try to make a shovvine of
earning their salaries. The question was
finally put and can led to lefer the question
to the executive committee.
The question of opening the Cherokee
stiip and other Indian lands to settlement
resulted in n committee of three , consisting
of J. H. Stoller , C. G. Bridgeford and M P.
Buel to draft n resolution expressing the
views of the meeting and report as soon us
possible.
Pny for Dead Animals.
The question of prK es paid for dead ani
mals by rendering companies brought out a
lively discussion , as it is ono of the most
v excel questions at all stock yards.
H B Stcck of Chicago , was called upon to
open the discussion , but declined on the
ground that he was elected to do duty at the
banquet nnd not to pass upon dead animals.
Messrs Nash of Chicago , Cooper of Kan
sas City , and Tarablyn of Chicago , tackled
the question nnd succeeded In having it re-
fcried to the executive committee

CiiEvnsNE , Wjo , Feb.1 The senatorial
situation tonight is still complicated nnd the
outcome is uncertain. The almost solid v oto
of the democrats today for A. L Now failed
to mlng the populists to his support , and as
no candidate can bo elected without their
votes , New's chances aie consldcied to bo
gone. I3.U ly this morning the Now forces
sue cccded in getting Hussoll , the republican
member fiom Umta countv , to leave the
citj , so that but twenty-four votes vvero
necessary to elect , but this move did not benefit -
fit him any , ns the populists voted solidly
for William Blown , their own candidate
Thocouibo of the democrats will now bo to
put up each day one of their men nnd give
him a united vote until a nimo Is i cached
acceptable to the populists One of the
inanj' rumois regarding the situation is that
the only democrat whom the populists will
vote for is John Chailes Thompson , who has
not been an avowed candidate and who has
leceivcd but ono democratic vote to the
present time
The rejection of Hussell causes great un
easiness among the republicans , especially
as one or twoof the xcpubllcans nio said to
bo willing to absent themselves in order to
elect a democrat

Wows are weak Instruments with which
to depict the aw fulness of absolute poverty
In winter time It must bu seen , at least , to
bo fully comprehended. Object lessons of
the most stilklng character mabo taken
thcso bitter cold nights at Hescuo hall , for-
meily known ns the Peoples theater , on
lower Douglas street , where humlieds of the
homeless and shiftless specimens of the race
gather for phjsical protection and moral ic-
fotmation
Shortly after 8 o'clock last evening a re
porter for Tin : BPE dropped Into the hill
and took a scat In the midst of as tough and
wietchod si looking lot of inun as could bo
gathcte-d up in n daj's seuch about the
town The lolhjlons meeting of the evening
was in piORIess Uov A W. Claik , sectetaty
and general stipeiintondent of the Kcscue
Itall association , was addressing the congre
gation Thoto weio fully UOO people in
the house , many ot whom were respect
able and humane folks who had
gone to the hall to lend a
helping hand After the talk of twenty min
utes. In which the secictary took occasion to
present the redeeming power of practical
Chilstlinity , the congregation sing "Wash
Mo and 1 Shall bo Whiter than Snow. " In
the mind of a casual observer theioniosea
doubt as to the possibility of ono washing
being sufllcient to make some of the men
piescnt resemble "tho beautiful" to anj
gieat or striking extent , and the spiritual
meaning of the song had to bo held Hi inly
In mind to keep b ick a smile. And after all
w hv should ono smllo nt the wretchedness
of his fellow men , oven though It bo of their
own choosing t
Onii Woman's Timely lnirr.
When the song was finished there came a
season of testimonials A dozen or moro of
those leceiitlvioformed told of their clown
fall , of their wandetings over the fneo of the
eat th , living upon husks , ho.j fodder , as it
were , and of their loformition since coming
to Hescuo hall A series of foi vent prajers
followed Thej' weto ptajcrs that c.imo
from earnest heai ts. prayers that pricked
the fountains of soriovv and biought showers
of sjmpithj1 fiom the ejes of those who
undcistood them In the midst of thlssei on
of devotion and of pleading for meicy and
help fiom the thrmio of grace , a woman

She ploadcl for the iccieant fathcis
under the sound of her volco who
had loft wives and families to the merciless
caio of the cold world and h id gene nwav to
become the companion of tramps and drunk-
aids and thieves ' 1 he heart of the suppli-
cater seemed to tiomblo In unison with her
lips , and as the icporter , almost ashmicd to
lift his eves upon the scene at such a time ,
looked about the loom ho observed a scoio of
inlddlc-ugcd men bowing tear washed faces
toward the floor One old , gtay halted man
in the audience seemed especially moved in
this icspcct Kneeling in the aisle with
his chin testing on his lough and diitj hand ,
ho gazed through falling tcais at
the seit opi > osito to him But he
did not see the objects bcfote him Ilo was
looking inwaid , bickward nt tho'daikund
grained spots" In his career
Doubtless ho could see the little family i
cliclofiom which ho had wandcied Ho
could see the wan face of that loving w ifo he
had so cruelly forsaken. Ho could hear the
pitiful ci.v of his children as they pleaded
w itli a ho'pless mother for food and clothing ,
and then his wretched ejcs' turned inward
again upon his own black and dastardly
caieer. I3veiy lineament of his face seemed
to say , "Iho way of the transgicssor is

TrhiR to Mrxlio Their Sins.
When the prayer was ended the secretary
asked all who wanted to begin lifo over nnd
m iko men of themselves to como foi ward
nnd take the front row of seats
A score of sin-scoiched men
arose and accepted the invitation
The gray haired man in the aisle was
among the number Several fervcut prav ers
wcio offered for those who had resolved to
make ono moic hcioic effort to become men
The secrotaij' promised that the association
would help them along as othcis had been
helped , and when the meeting came to a
close there were many in the house , who had
gene there simply to get in out of the biting
cold , who wore a serious nnd Him icsolvo
upon their haggard faces They had faced
about and would try once moio to reflect the
Imago of their Maker , although , like coins
