Ho thanked God , however , that there Imd been onoutfh mem bers to keep it down to tr > 0XK ( ) . Ho wished tlmt it hail lcun cut n prosit deal more. Ho was satisfied that the result would have hcen the sumo if the commission had been Klvon fTiOO.OOO and tlio state would still have had nothing to show for It. Ho declared that the time for preparing for a creditable exhibit had been frittered away , and that It was now too late to hope to do anything In that lint ! . Ho realized that it was sad com mentary on the state of Nebraska , which de served something much better. Kelton. likewise.- , took 1111 the cudgels against the commission and declared that ho was opposed to voting another cent for this commission to handle. Ho bcllovnd that if the whole matter was taken away and placed in the hands of ono man to bo up- pointed by the governor , something might yet be done. Tun l.utn to Do .liij-tliliiB. Howe ropllud that thj governor had al ready considered that matter , and had con sulted with ox-flovernor Pumas , who was ono of the best men In the state to take charge of a matter of that kind , ami ho had 'said that it was everlastingly too late. Nebraska would havn to bo misrepresented at the World's fair In spite of anything that could bo done. Sutcr declared Hint It was out of the ques tion to think of allowing the commission any more , but said that the stockmen would still endeavor to make a showing. The bill was about to bo re-committed 'when Oakloy iniulo a pica to wait and sec if something could not bo done and it was ro-commlttcd to the committee. , Htiirtnl by U'litson. It was then (1 ( o'clock and the house was ready to adjourn when Watson sprung a resolution elution that caused n deal of trouble and kept the body in the liveliest kind of activity until nearly 10 o'clock. The resolution staled : " , , Whereas , Tim majority of the senatorial In- vestlKiitlngPOiiimlttiM ) hud declined to allow Judge Thurnton lo upnuur buforu It after ho hail been besmirched , and cross-uxainlnod witnesses who testified against lilm , anil Whereas. The chairman was In favor of Kranllrnr. thereiiuest . , , Ki'solved , Thai the house sustain the chair man and ( ? rant Mr. Tliurslon Ihu dvslred por- mlsslon. Dual Immediately moved to adjourn , but it was defeated on roll call and the light was on. on.I'ortcr declared that the mutter might lust as well bo settled now as in the morn ing , ami Sodcrman said ho was not afraid to meet Thurston before the committee. If Thurston thought the boodle hat ilttcd his head ho might put It on. and ho was in favor of letting him Into the committee as soon as ho wanted to como. Purely rnrllnmrntnry. Barry at once raised the point of order that the matter had not como properly before the house , as the committee liad not re ported and the house did not know that any request had been made or refused. IIo ro- lused to yield the floor to Howe , who was anxious to talk on the matter , and a parlia mentary wrangle ensued between the pair , during which Howe not in what ho wanted ta say under the gulso of questions to his opponent. This continued until Barry re fused to answer any more questions. The chair finally sustained the point of order , and Watson Immediately appealed. The appeal carried and the decision of the chair was sot asldo. More parliamentary skirmishing ensued , fluring which Watson moved the previous question , and It was recognised by the chair. Rhodes moved to adjourn , and demanded a call of the houso. Watson raised the point that n call of the house was not In order under the previous question and demanded an immediate ruling. ( iillln In rl < no Ouirters. ; Twenty members wore at once clamoring for recognition and the chair was compelled to call upon the snrgi int-at-arms to clear the floor and scat every member before ho could make himself heard. Rhodes demanded that no ruling bo given " * untll the great chandelier was lighted , so that ho coulil read from the rules and en lighten the speaker. 'Ho was allowed to go to the desk and convey Ills information , after which the chair ruled that ho would entertain the motion to adjourn and also a call of the houso. Watson and Howe appealed. Barry warned the republican leaders that the saino tactics might bo employed against ' them 'soino day , and 'that they would then liavo to take their medicine. "Suftlelcnt unto the day is the evil thereof , " quoted the gentleman from No- miilia , and the chair then recognized Porter , who expressed the belief that ovcry member wanted to bo fair. ' The chair don't to " seem want to , re torted Watson , who immediately renewed nls demand for a ruling. The chair Intimated that tlio gentleman tfrom Otoo aspired to rule nil questions , to which Watson replied , "No , I want you to rule and rule promptly and fairly , " lluil n Cull of the IlmiKo. Porter argued that it would bo a dangerous precedent to establish to allow a minority to overturn the rules and carry a point against n smaller minority mid dctiv them the right of u call of the house. Howe made a speech and asked for a rul ing as to the situation. The ohuh began his reply by stating that ho wanted to bo fair , to which Howe nodded u vigorous assent and said , "I bcliovo it , I buliovo It. " But when the chair in the next breath held the call of the house In order , Howe throw up both hands and exclaimed , "Great God , what a ruling , what a record this house will have. " Watson attempted to ask a question , when. Stevens rose to n point of order , and before ho could state it , Watson , who was vigor ously roasting the speaker whenever the op portunity offered , declared , "There is plenty of opportunity for thorn on these rulings.1 The clerk was ordered to call the roll on the call of the house and eighty-four mem bers responded. Jensen at once moved to dispense with further proceedings under the call , but before putting the motion the chair Bta cd that it would tnko flfty-onoto ralso thn call-of the houso. Watson again appealed. Took n Wlmck ut Thurston. Slovens availed himself of a momentary lull to correct what ho declared to bo a wrong impression. IIo said that Thurston could como before the house and plead his case even though denied before the committee , nnd could got full Justice without persisting la his present course , which was disgracing him before the whole state , as ho was trying to get before the committee simply to petti fog and befuddle witnesses , The committee would allow him to come as a witness to sot himself right , but not as a lawyer to conduct the examination. . Despite vigorous protests the chair main tained that llfty-ono votes would bo neces sary to sustain an : ip | > eil ; in this case , as it Tt'ould reverse the action of the houso. The appeal was put and it carried bv a vote of1(5 ( .o ! RI , but the chair declared that It had not received the necessary votes and was lost. Tired of rutting Appnnla. Watson once moro entered an appeal and called for the yeas and nays , but the speaker for the llrst tlmo since ho has been the pre siding oulccr of the body showed that the supply of "cheerfulness" with which ho hud promised on the day of his election to put appeals was exhausted. Sutton insisted that if the speaker per- slslod in maintaining that position the cor- iterations could buy anil hide away a couple of members at any tlmo , thus blocking legis lation , and that the house would have to re main In session until doomsday. "That's about the slzo of it , " laconically relorted the speaker. Howe concluded that it was about tlmo to adopt now tactics nnd staled that in order to snow that the members of the republican jido desire to bo fair they would consent to huvo the resolution so amended as to em power the investigating committee to um < 3 > loy an nttorney at the expense of the state , to offset Thurston's legal ability. Tin proposition was received with shouts of up provul from all parts of the house , and Wat' uon moved that further proceedings undci the call bo dispensed with. Vnllejr County' * denim. There was a chorus of seconds , but tin Irrepressible" Rhodes was again on his feel with another point of order , which was ai poorly founded ns were the general run o hl objections. Ho was mot by a storm o : protest * , but , nothing daunted , this ox iKjunilcr of the constitution mlsed his voici Into a ihriuk and excitedly Insisted that hi : point bo heard before the motion to suspont the cull was put to the homo. It was to tin effect that during n call of thn house no mo tliin could bo entertained. What' * thntl" yelled the house In unison 'f ' ton t wo put a motion to suspend the call of the houio"demanded ! several. 1 .No , not wen to suspend a call of the houso. " retorted the Valley county states man , nnd tbun pandemonium broke loose again. In the midst of the general confusion Koyes sprung to his feet and demanded , "Is It possible that Valley county has sent n man down hero who claims to know moro than the other ninety-nlno members of this house put together ! " The sally was greeted with shouts of laughter which merged Into a howl and roar when Howe solemnly asked , "Mr. Speaker , do I understand that Vnlloy county Is repre sented in this house ! " "You fellows who find out before you got through me , " yelled Rhodes , who , white with rage , wildly waved n copy of the constitution In one hand nnd Cuslilng's manual In the other in the direction of his Intensely tickled opponents from Sarpy and Ncmaha. Sunpriiilcit the Call. Whpn quiet was in a measure restored the speaker held that Rhodes' point of order was not well taken , and the roll call was ordered on the motion lo suspend further call. Many of the Independents voted with the republicans nnd the motion carried by a vote of 07 to 11) ) . It was then "o'clock nnd the doors were thrown open. Tlio question recurred on the motion to adjourn , which had been inter rupted after the previous question had been demanded. The house , by n vote of 49 to ! J8 , refused to adjourn , after which Beal's mo tion lo lay the resolution on the tnblo was voted down with a largo chorus of ayes. Will l.ct Thiirstim Como On. Then , after three hours of continuous wrangling , parliamentary spurring and fili bustering , the previous question was put nnd , with but ono dissenting vote , the house decided that the main question should bo submitted. The resolution as amended by Howe was thun read , hut Iwforo u vote could bo taken Harry nearly precipitated another riot by In sisting that the phraseology of the resolu tion bo changed so that it would cast no aspersions upon the good intentions of the committee. Horst backed him up by declaring that unless the author of the resolution would consent to a change ho would ralso a row which would keep the house in session until daylight. McKesson read from the stenographic re port of tho.proceed Ings of the committee to show that a majority had denied Thurston's request as alleged , and Barry was then satisfied. The resolution was then adopted by n viva voce vote , and shortly before 10 o'clock the house adjourned. IJurnor's Iliinlc llonil Hill Tnkus Up Much Tlini ! In Commitoo ! , LINCOLN , Neb. , Fob. 20. [ Special to TUB BEE. ] All of the senators were in their places this afternoon except Clarke and Lobeok , and after the preliminary and devo tional exercises the general order of business was tnkcu up. From the committee on engrossed and en rolled bills Senator McCarty reported that house lllcs Nos. JT ! ) and 11 had been correctly engrossed. Senator Johnson from the cominltlco on miscellaneous subjects reported house roll I\"o. 11 , prohibiting the employment of I'lnkcrtons , with the recommendation that it do pass. The bill went to the general file. Senator Darner from the committee on internal improvements reported back senate file No. 11) ) , with the recommendation that it be placed on general file. This is Darner's rrigation bill , and next to the Clarke maxi mum rate bill is the longest of the session. Senator Dale wanted to know what had become of his bill. Ho said ho didn't ro- noinbcr what it was about nor what its number w.is , but ho introduced it early in the session and it hadn't been hoard from since. As no one seemed to know any moro ibout , the missing bill than the senator who ntroduccd it , the matter proceeded no farther. Senator Darner then called up his resolu tion ofPrlduy , to the. following effect : Whereas , It has officially como to the notlco of this body , through thu lugal opinion of the attorney Kcnural submitted to this body , that Hie retiring stulo treasurer Is liable on Ills Imml for tlio state funds which wore on du- jioslt at tlio Capital National bank ut the tliim of the failure of said bank ; and. Whereas , The Interest of the Mala .demands that islops should bo taken to enforce tlio re covery of the funds doposlted-wlth the Capital National bank , In order that the state may not sutler loss ; therefore , bo It llesolved. the house concurring. That the attorney genurnl bo and Is hereby instructed to Immediately commence proceedings against tint retiring state treasurer and his bondsmen for thu recovery of Main funds so deposited by htm In thu Capital National bunk. IUcui > slii | ; tha Id-solution. Senator Graham wanted the resolution re ferred to some one of the regular standing committees and made a motion to that effect. In explaining his motion ho said that ho hardly thought It proper for the senate to take n step in this direction without giving the matter some serious consideration. Two state officials , the attorney generM and the secretary of statn had recommended action against ox-Treasurer Hill and his bondsmen. Those same officials had also approved the bond by which Treasurer Bartloy had des ignated the Capital National bank as ono of the state depositories. It seemed to him , ho said , that the senate should not be In too much of a hurry to adopt the suggestion. He further stated that Treasurer Bartloy had carried in his pocket for two weeks a stalo- munt showing the exact amounts of state money deposited in different banks , nnd if ho had hud any dcsiro to examine into the condition of the Capital National bank ho had plenty of tlmo to make a thorough in vestigation. Notwithstanding this fact , and his knowledge that nearly ! 00,000 of the state's money was in thai bank , ho elected to make the Capital National bank ono of the state depositories. Ho believed the senate should try to find out which of the treasurers bonds was liable before it went any farther. Senator D.trncr stated that ho had no ob Jcction to Iho resolullon being referred lo a committee and would only stipulate that there should bo no unnecessary delay. Ho believed the resolution would facilitate mat ters and help unravel the complications. Senator Pope said that the question was whether It required a resolution of the sen ate to compel the attorney general to do his duty. Ho considered the resolution an unin tentional slap at the attorney general. Ho believed that the attorney general would adopt the right course at the proper time , but that ho would of necessity bo compelled to await the report of the receiver and the examiner before ho could know oniclally just what the amount of the shortage was. When these reports wnro made ho believed the attorney general would move at once and in the right direction. The motion to refer the resolution to a standing committee was curried without further debate and Iho president directed Its reference lo the committee on judiciary. Now 1II1U Drought In. The following bills were Introduced nnd road lor the first time ; By Everett To . --reasonable maximum rates uixm the transportation of live stock , grain , lumber , lime and salt , making an average - ago reduction of 20 per cent in present rates.

Senalo fllo No. 83 , by Thomson , was rcac the third time and passed. It provides tha but ono-Hfth of the road- tax collected it counties under the township organization law shall remain lu the hands of tlio road over seers , the other four-fifths to go into thi township treasury for the benefit of all Uu. roads in the township. Senate lllo No. 14 , by Moore , was also road the third time and passed. It provides that f any tiorson shall purposely , or In the per- ) otration or attempt to perpetrate any rape , irson , robbery or burglary , or by administer- ng poison , kill another , or If any iwrson by villful anil corrupt perlury shall purposely iroeure the conviction and execution of niiy nnocent person , every person so offending shall bo deemed guilty of murder in the first legrco nnd upon conviction shall sufferdeath or imprisonment for Ufa in tha discretion Of ho Jury. The senate then went Into committee of ho whole to consider bills on the general file , with Senator Gray In the chair. Darner's hill , No. 18 , remilrlng nil banks of leiwslt to give bonds to the county boards for the benefit of the depositors , came up fern n lively discussion , In which consldorablo ccllng was engendered. Senator TeiTt moved that when the com- nltteo rlso It report ttio bill with the recom- ncndallon that it bo Indefinitely postponed. Senator Darner met the motion with an amendment that the committee recommend hat the bill puss. Ilinvlt AllVcU the Itnnkn. Senator Daiuer went over the arguments n support of his bill that he made last Thursday. Ho referred to the great number of bank failures and said that the most dole- ill circumstance in connection with nil of .hem . Is that the poor people are always af- eclcd Iho most , and claimed that it was as ust , right and lawful that the state should eiuior Iho same protection to private deposi tors in bunks that it necks to give the state , Senator Moore made an extended argu- nent against the bill , In which he pointed out the fact that if it became a law it would compel all the savings bunks of Omaha and Lincoln to go out of business. Ho further contended that the bill would have a ten- leney lo Injure slate bunks and give na- .ioui.l banks the ascendency. Senator Pope called attention to the fact that the bill provided no manner in which depositors in broken bunks could secure the nonoy recovered by the stulo on the bond of , hc defunct bunks. Darner admitted the force of the argument and undertook to remedy the matlcr by an amendment , but t fulled to receive a second. Senator Tefft replied to the arguments made by Darner in a humorous speech and wound up by declaring the bill impractica ble. ble.Tho senate then , by a vote of 17 to C , in definitely postponed the bill. The commltleo then took up and consid ered successively senate files Nos. 42 , IKI , 00 , 44 , 77 , 40 and 10. All were recommended for passage. The committee then rose and senator Pope ! > y common consent Introduced senate file No. 112 , to establish a state banking board. Unrnor lloosii't l.lko Morton. Senator Pope offered the following resolu tion : Whereas , The president-elect of the United Status has 5,0011 lit to select for a member of ils cabinet one of the most distinguished oltl- MIS of this .stallanil Wlici-eas , ,1.

Senator Darner objected to the rcsolttllon and further consideration went over until tomorrow.

[ Special Tele gram to Tun BEE. ] The counting of the bal lots cast at the last election for the two con stitutional amendments is progressing with a rapidity that insures the completion of the work within the tlmo speci fied oy the act which authorized the recount. Thirteen clerks are employed , nnd they arc divided into two sections , one of which reads the vote and the other tallies the result. Today the clerks counted the ballots of Douglas and two smaller counties , ! K,000 ) in all and discovered a difference of about 1,000 in all in favor of the amend ments. Friends of the recount bellovo to night that the amendment relating to the investment of permanent school funds will bo found to have carried , and they claim the railroad commission amendment is likely to curry also , although the chances are not so greatly in its favor. It will take a gain of about 7,000 votes to overcome the votes against the amendments. The returns from Dawes county wore found to bo incomplete , as the county clerk , through some inadvert ence , burned a portion of the ballots , No estimate can bo made of Ihoso destroyed.

Quito a crowd of curious people attended the session of the lire and police commission ers last evening , no doubt expecting to hear a discussion of iho petition rofcrrhij : to saloons nnd gambling houses , which w.is re ferred to the hoard by the council. After the routine business had been dis posed of the resolution of Mr. Hasoall , passed at the last mucthn , ' of iho council , was read , and thus the petition was brought to the notifu of Iho board. Mr. Gilbert moved Hint n copy of the document bo referred to Chltff Scavey , along with Instructions to comply with the ro- < iulremeuts of the law. As no one offered to second the motion Chief Seuvoy laid before thu board a roll of manuscript , saying : "I have a report to make , and some slule- mcnls to back It up. " The chief's report was taken up and read. Chief Hoavey'H Saloon StulUtlc * , "Your honorable body Issued licenses to W saloons for iho year IBM. lo 24'J saloons in 18W. During IS'J'J ' Iho police ami clti/.ens complained of twcnty-nlno saloonkeepers for violating Iho laws , and the city prosecutor filed no complaints. Consequently no war rants were issued. "In ISUS lifly-lhreo saloonkeepers were arrested for violations of Iho llnuor law. These cases were all dismissed but ten , which were taken to Iho district court. "A statement herewith shows that saloons are always kept open on Sunday as follows : On account , of having restaurants , 12 ; on account of having boarding houses , fi ; on account of having billiard and pool tables , 10. "There are hotels that are licensed to sell intoxicating li juors in this city , and I have reason to believe that there never has been a Sabbath day since Iho passage of Iho Slucuni law hut that some person connected with every hotel in Omaha has violated that law. law."There "There are 154 wine rooms and eighty -six saloons In this city. tir ; Kooim. "After the law went Into effect , June , 18SO , making it a felony for 'every person who shall play at any game whatever , for any sum of money or other property of value , ' the police arrested and locked up gamblers , from the wealthiest down to the 'tin horn , ' rich and poor , citizens of all classes , as fol lows : 1H83 , i ; ISS'J , ! IV ; 1S1W , 81 ; 1801 , ! BO ; IblU , 107 ; total. 848. Of thl.s number three were found guilty and paid a line of $100 , while all the rest wore discharged , ' 1 have caused the police to break down doors live inches thick and hutlcr down hrick wullsa score of times during'my admin istration and arrest twenty to forty men of u night. I have hud as much ns $4,000 worth of gambling fixtures in my odlco for nlno months ut u time. "All cases against gamblers were prose cuted by Iho stale , as it was held that the city ordinance was faulty. "Cily ordinance No. JiOTO was passed May 28. IS'Ji , and after Iho passage several gam bling houses were opened and Ihe managers came lo the police court and paid a line of 150 every month since they opened. Klcht gambling houses arc now running , which pay Jl/J'-O Into the police court. "Slnco the opcliing I have hud my captains and sergeanls visit them and make a weekly report as to the manner in which they are conducted. There has been less complaint nguinst gambling since lust Juno thun any time slnco 1 have been in olHcc. No drunk enness , no disorderly conduct , no gambling on Sunday , no minors , drunks or vagrants are allowed in any of those houses. "While I am opposed to gambling in anv form , I have to say that from a police staim- jioint. there is less to complain of against gamblers and gambling houses the way they have been conducted the lust nlno months than previous lo that tiny ) , when gambling was going oa in club rooms , hotels and other places behind closed doors. "When a warrant was issued for the ar rest of gamblers they frequently found it out before the police arrived , and then all evidence of gambling was out of sight. As no money was furnished mo for this kind of dolcctive work , and us the complaining wit ness had committed as much of a crime as the fellow who had fleeced htm , ho would not swear in court against himself. I men tion these facts lo show how easy and how unfair it is for people to ccnsuro the police for not doing their duty when we are handi capped in so many ways. "Seven policy shops pay $297.50 Into the police fund every month. The Hurnt District. "There are twenty-two houses of prostitu tion and two assignation houses , whoso in- mnlcs number VJ3. These houses , with the exception of two or three , ure all located in what is known as the "burnt district , " the boundary lines of which were established in n wrillen order Issued to mo by ox-Mayor Brontch , September 29 , 18S3 , and are as fol lows : East of Tenth street from Capitol avenue south , and east of Twelfth street be tween Capitol avenue and Chicago streets. Section 44 of chapter xlli. , Council's com piled city ordinances , makes it the duty of the chief of police to report lo Iho police Judge in writing on the first day of every month the names of all keepers or tnmalcs of houses of ill-fame nnd Iho names of all prostitutes in the city , and directs that I make a complaint against and cause the ar rest of all such without delay. "Tho police judge usually gives these women until the loth of iho month to como lo court , plead guilty and pay their fines , which are as follows : Assignation house keepers , $45 per month ; landladies , $10 ; all others , J8. Those who do not pay their fines by the 10th of the month are arrested during Iho night time bv Iho police , and Iho Judge fines or imprisons them for violating Iho law , the same as oilier criminals. "I have visited pollco stations during the last fifteen years in n largo number of the principal cllies of Iho United Stales and other countries , and from what I learned and saw I believe that prostitution is more thoroughly under the surveillance and con trol of the police department of Omaha than any city near the si/.o of Omaha 1 have ever visited. I bellovo that the system of conviction and line as practice1 ! in our police court , together with our patrol wagon serv ice , is the best method und most effectual discipline that can bo enforced for the gov ernment of prostitutes. < * * * * "It Is my humble opinion that the efforts of no body of men or women can effectually stump out the crime of prostitution , and if 1 am correct , I have to say that the mayor , the pollco Judge and police by enforcing the law is the best and only way to govern and conlrol the crlmo of prostltullon In mclro- polllan cities. " A Tilt with Mcavrjr. Mr. Gilbert road the old ordinance which declared gambling to bo a misdemeanor and punishable by a n fine oC # 23. The amended ordinance classed gambling places ns dis orderly houses und a line of from $ T to & ! 00 was attached. This was a more severe law than the onu which was amended. Mr. Gilbert then said that Chief Seavoy could enforce the law and close every gambling house in town , and lie referred lethe the big raid of the gamblers on the night of March 21 , 18S1 , when something like 200 people - plo were arrested for gambling. After that gumblng was at a stand still. The chief called his attention to the largo number of small resorts or "holes in the wall , " where people were continually being fleeced. Mr. Gilbert retorted that Soavoy could en. force the law regarding prostitutes. Chief Seavoy said : "I do. " "No , you don't , " was Mr. Gilbert's answer. "You could arrest a prostitute every day or every hour and make them leave town. " "Well , I nm not going to do It , " said the chief very emphatically. "I am governed by the law and by this board. " Then Mr. Gilbert cooled down and art- milled that the board was as much at fault as the | K > lIce , "I urn uwaro , " ho said , "that this board has not done its duty. " "I nm glad to hear you say that , " remarked Omaha's chief of pollco , "for it looks us if you want to throw all the blanio on me. " "Such a petition as this , signed by so many respectable people , ought to have some attention paid to U , " said Mr Gilbert , ami the chief remarked that ho would en force the laws If ho could got a prosecutor that would prosecute. The other vominls * sloners said not a word during this collomry. 1 hen Chief Soavey said that ho had Understood - . stood that the amended ordinance had been passed for the relief of the gamblers be cause the treasury needed money. Mr. Smith admitted that was the way ho understood It nnd said that ho did not think tun pollco were to blame for enforcing the ordinance ns it was intended. Ho w.n , however - over , In favor of keeping every saloon closed tight on Sunday , nnd ho dldnU think It ex pedient to arrest and line the prostitutes every day , as It would drive the scourge all over the city. Action Deferred. Commissioner Hartman closed the discussion - sion by saying lhat ho thought the laws ought to bo enforced , but a gro.it many things had to ho taken Into consideration , and as the board were all working In the ln terc.st of iho cll.v ho moved that the mutter lay over ono week.
