BBB.J When Chaplain Snyder approached
the thronoof dlvlno grace after the opening
of the Bonato this morning ho thanked God
for the harmony , pure patriotism and wis
dom of this state and this legislature , and
that the present session had not been dis
graced by the scenes of turmoil and con
fusion which had prevailed In other states.
The Journal was.then read In Its entlrctly
despite n motion from Senator Everett to
suspend further reading. Dysart was the
objecting senator , and his reason bocuino ap
parent when , nt the close , ho objected to the
approval of the Journal. Ho based his ob
jection uwn the ground that the action of the
senate last Tuesday by which the general
appropriation bill was taken from the com
mittee on ways and means and placed on
general file to bo considered In committee of
the whole next Tuesday evening was not in
accordance with the rules. Ho raised two
points of order at the time which were do-
elded adversely by the president. Ho
brought them up again this morning and np-
itculed from the ruling of the chair.
Senator Moore demanded a call of the
house. The doors were locked but a few
moments , however , when the call was sus
pended and Mattes moved that the appeal
bo laid on the table. The motion prevailed ,
Dysart nlono voting against It.
Senator .McCarty from the committee re
ported that senate files 0 , 40 , 41 , 43 and 55
had been correctly engrossed and were ready
for the final uctloa of the senate.

"Senate fllo No. 0 , by Packwood , requlrlnf
railroads touching at common points to bulk
transfer switches , was taken up.
Graham objected to the passage of the bill
and wanted It sent back to the committee on
railroads. Ho asserted that ho had been in
formed by ono of the secretaries of the State
Board of Transportation that in all cases
whore transfer switches have been found
necessary they have been ordered by the
board , lie did not believe the railroad com
mlttco had properly considered the matter
This statement brought Senator Mullen
chalrmanjof the railroad committee , to his
feet. Ho denied the imputation that his
committee had not given the bill proper con
slderatlon. In response to a query from
Senator Graham ho said that ho had not
asked the railroad commission. Ho wouldn'
nsk the commission's opinion on any rallroat
Further discussion on the bill was shut oft
by the discovery that the amendments made
in the committee of the whole last Tuosda ;
bad not yet como from the printer. Tin
president decided that the bill was no
properly before the senate , and H was
passed until a later date.

cities-having n population of 10,000 and over

with Senator Harris In the chair.
Senate fllo No. 6'J , by Dysart , providing
that at all cities and towns In the state

L Senator Mattes brought matters to a focus
py moving that when the committee rise It
recommend that the bill bo Indefinitely post-
Dys'art offered n substitute to the effect
that the bill be recommended for passogo.
In .support of the substitute the author of
the bill stated that he had ox peotod consid
erable opposition to the measure , especially
* rom.repre cntatlw of Omaha and Lincoln.
As far as the former city wm concerned , ho
aid , It would bo nn easy matter for the sev
eral lines of railroads centering In that city
o run tholr passenger trains around to the
oot of Farnntn street on the freight car
racks and erect the union depot nt that
wlnt. Ho wouldn't Insist upon expensive
Icpots , ho B.nld , and ho would bo just as well
satisfied with n depot costing 1,000 as with
otirt Costing ft.000,000.
'
Mattes said that If the' bill passed ho
vouldnlso offer n bill requiring all store-
tcopers to place tholr stocks ot goods in n
common store , so that customers would not
bo compelled to run around over town in
search of anything they might want.

Senate fllo No. 112 , by Moore , providing

Aiill-PlnkertoiiUm Illncunscd ,
For two hours the senators wrestled with
he bill offered by Campbell to abolish the
Plnkorton bystem In this state. The bill
was objected to by n number of the senators
on the republican side , not for the reason , as
.hoy all explained , that they were opposed
to nn nntl-Plnkorton bill , but they were
against the bill ns It stood , They desired to
amend It so that n sheriff or other pcuco oftl-
: cr could call upon any bystander to assist
ilm In nn emergency without Incurring the
Isk of being fined an excessive amount , or
mprisonod. The independents who chain-
iloned the bill evidently took objections
; o the form of the bill and some rather lurid
speeches were mado. on their side of the
chamber In the two hours.
Finally ntn:4 : , " > the committee rose without
reaching any adjustment of the difficulties
tKitween the two parties. The senate ad-
lourned Just In time to allow the members to
jet to their hotels for supper , and both sides
ire preparing themselves for u final bout
over the bill to-morrow.

LINCOLN , Neb. , Fob.1J3. [ Special to THE
BEB. ] Forty-four now bills were Introduced

duo thd state from the defunct Capital Na
tional bank and appropriating $3,000 to defray -
fray all necessary expenses.
Kruse's Joint resolution proclaiming the

whole , with Locknor in the chair , and after
a long discussion reported for indefinite
postponement No. 78 , Lulknrt'sblll providing
for a commission to revise the laws , and pro-
pa ro a civil , criminal and political code.
An adjournment was taken until U o'clock ,
many of the members going out to the Homo

Womnn'H Itlght to Voto.
At the afternoon session the house went
into committee of the whole , with Porter in
the chair , immediately after roll call and
took up the consideration of house roll No.
! 312 , Lingenfelter's bill conferring full suf-
frugo upon women. It brought on a spli Itcd
debate that was listened to with keen relish
and enjoyment by the crowded lobby and
galleries.
The Introducer of the bill declared that
the women of the country wanted to vote ,
but his statement was immediately called in
question by Carpenter , who said that the
purest , noblest and best women in the coun
try did not want to vote , were opposed to
the granting of municipal suffrage and
would not go to the polls In the event that
such a bill was passed.
Smith of Holt , Higglns and Woods favored
the measure , but Horst Jumped Into the ring
against it.
Higglns raised the point of order that
Horst was not competent \ talk on the sub
ject , as ho was a bachelor , but the chair
overruled the objection on the ground that
there wns no means of knowing how long the
gentleman would remain a bachelor.
Horst held that the section of the consti
tution referring to "malo'persons"aselectors
would render such n law unconstitutional.
Ho was backed up by "Uncle Barney"
Johnston of Ncmaha , who held that if it was
desired to pass such a bill the constitution
should first bo amended and then legislation
enacted accordingly. Bcal , Robinson and
Ford talked in favor of the bill , and Suter
arrayed himself with the opposition.
Dobson and Folton talked long and earn
estly of the inherent rights of all , and the
special privilege clause of the Independent
testament. Fclton told how much better
prepared women were to vote than the for
eign scum that was allowed to take out pa
pers after being In this country but. thirty
days.
Defended the Immigrants.
Goldsmith entered a protest against the
casting of any moro aspersions on the for
eigners who had como to this country and
become citizens.
It required u division to settle the matter
when the vote was taken on the motion to
recommend the bill for passage. The mo
tion was defeated by a vote of iS ! to 40 , but ,
in order to prolong the fun , or rather to reserve -
servo a little of it for another occasion , it
was announced that the motion had prevailed -
vailed by n vote of 44 to 89.
The house then toolc up No. 100 , Kessler's
bill conferring municipal sutfrapo on women ,
and it was recommended for Indefinite post
ponement by a vote of 37 to 80.
No. 50 , Berry's bill amending the questions
to bo asked by assessors , was recommended
for passage. No. 100 , Stevens' bill designat
ing taxable property , was next taken up.
The bill was discussed for ah hour and a
half , and was then recommended for Indefi
nite postponement by ti vote of 80 to 85.
When the report was submitted , a little
later , It was rejected , and the bill was re
committed , despite the efforts of Stevens ,
who said that ho was satisfied that it was
doomed to an Ignominious death , and all ho
wanted was to see It decently Interred.
Higglns' bill , providing for an additional
judge in the Twelfth Judicial district , was
recommended for passage after being so
amended as to call upon the governor to fill
the place Immediately pending the next gen
eral election.
I'ecullnr Vote on th Itnport.
The report on the universal suffrage bill
brought on n skirmish , and the motion to
adopt the report resulted In the tie vote of
40 to 40 , but It was announced that it had
carried by a vote of 45 to ! 13. The members
have no hopes of carrying It when It is put
upon its passage , but they are hustling for
votes , and offering trades where they cannot
got them otherwise. There Is little proba
bility that it will pass the house , and. none
whatever that It , will got through the senate.
The report on the municipal suffrage bill
was rejected and the bill ordered engrossed
for passago. -
Tbe house then adjourned until 10 o'clock
tomorrow morning.

Itlckott'H Civil ItlRhts Hill.
LINCOLN , Nob. , Fob. 23. [ Special to THE
BKE. ] Many pcoplo in Omaha will bo Inter
ested in the fact that the now civil rights
hill passed the senate today. The bill' was
introduced in the house by Dr. Rickotts , the
well known colored member from Douglas
county and In the senate by Senator Mporo ,
at the former's request. The bill includes
restaurants in the list of public places at
which no distinction can bo made In regard
to color. iTho main feature of the bill ,
however , lies in the fact that any
violation of the law may bo brought
to the attention of the police
court instead of the Justices court under the
old law , and that the penalty proscribed Is a
tine not to exceed $100 Instead of line and
Imprisonment. The bill will. It Is believed
by its author , very materially assist In the
enforcement of the law and at the same
tlmo create n bettor feeling between the
races. Omaha is the only city In the state
affected by the provisions of the bill.

tor DUlnyVrpteit View , of
A telegram from Sioux City published yes
terday announced with a great flourish of
trumpets that the Great Northern and Sioux
City & Northern had Issued a Joint rate cir
cular announcing that the rate on shingles ,
lunihcr , logs and similar commodities from
north Pacific coast points to Omaha hnd
Sioux City would hereafter bo 55 cents per
hundred pounds. The dispatch went on to
say that this rate was put In a few months
ago , hut was withdrawn because the roads
had to divide the rate with the
Canadian Pacific , the Great Northern not
yet being completed to the coast. "Tho rate
proving unrcmuneralivo It was -withdrawn
to the great disappointment of the Mis
souri river cities. Now , as soon as this coast
line Is done , Mr. Hill puts In the r.ito , which
Is an Important reduction from those that
have been In force. It has been the pro
nounced policy of the Hill system to
encourage the shipment of west
ern lumber to this .section , and the
business has grown 'in the last two
years to bo an Important one. Although the
rates are higher th.in from the pineries of
Minnesota and Wisconsin the cost of produc
tion is less In the fat- west and with the as
sistance of such encouragement as that ex
tended by Mr. Hill the western lumbermen
promise to secure n largo trade In thl sec
tlon. "
When Mr. A. II. Merchant , assistant gen
eral freight agent of the Elkhorn , was shown
the telegram ho pronounced the news as ' 'all
rot , " the rate said to have been made by the
Great Northern and the Sioux City & North-
urn being in effect more than a year.
"Until recently. " said Mr. Merchant ,
"tho Great Northern has not
been in a position to got much
business traversing a territory where little
business originates , but now that it has
Homo In competition with the Northern Pa
cific and Union Pacific It has to hustle for all
the business it gets from the Pacific coast
country. In fact , there are more railroads to
bundle the business than there Is business ,
which makes the competition keen. But the
assertion that the two roads above men
tioned had put In this rate is all bosh , as It
was in effect a year or moro aeo , and only
applies to shingles , the other commodities
not being Included in the tariff.
"Some time , ago 1 road In Tun BEE
that the Great Northern was casting Its
eyes toward Omaha and contemplated build
ing from Yank ton down through Nebraska
to this city. The truth of the matter Is that
the Great Northern has been In Omaha fora
long time , traffic arrangements with the
Sioux City & Northern and the latter's con
nection with tno ElUhorn giving the Great
Northern access totlio ; Nebraska metropolis.
The Sioux City fa Northern joins the
Great Northern \ \ Garrotson \ and this
gives the Nonthcrn road an outlet -
lot to the riverA towns. Wo have
brought lots of lumbar and shingles through
from the Great Noutttoru and wo liavo Issued
any number of tariff isheets with lake points
and the sound country included showing
that the Great Northern was a competitor
for business. .litnvHUI is a shrewd railroad
man , hut ho is not'coming to Omaha as long
as ho can secure the present trafllo arrange
ments , which arec.very much less than
if ho had hls-f > own line direct
from Yankton ton Omaha. Then again ,
the distance ibto > South Dakota

President Parsons' letter of resignation
roads thus :
"Several months ago representations were
made to me that a controlling interest In the
stock of this company , .had been acquired by
parties who desired tojissumo the manage
ment of the road , My personal preference
at that tltno was , If suoh representations
could have been verified , ' to retire from the
charge of the road , but it seemed to mo my
duty to remain throughout the year ,
to return the property to the stock
holders who had intrusted it to
the present management and permit the
selection of a succeeding one to develop upon
them. Hcccnt developments have been such
us to convince mo that by so doing the in
terests of the company have in no way been
prejudiced. In view of the approaching
annual meeting , It seemed proper to now
make known my Intention of retiring from
the management and I herewith tender my
resignation as presld&nt of the Now York

effect March 14 , 1893. "

WASIIINOTOX , I ) . C. , Fob. 3.1. The Pnnnnih-
Pacific Mail Investigation was resumed to
day and the Pacific Mall end of the Investi
gation was taken up. Mr. I/ccds , who was
formerly traffic manager for the Gould
roads , but who now Is a representative of
; ho Merchants Traffic association of Cali
fornia , which proposes to put on n line of
steamers in opposition to the Pacific
Mall company , testified that there
! iad been n compact between the
transcontinental railroads and the
Pacific Mull company. The railroads paid
the Pacific Mall a subsidy and reserved the
right to say what classes of freight the steam
ships should carry and also the fixed rates.
The amount of freight the Pacific Mall com
pany mlcht carry monthly was also strictly
limited. Witness understood that the Pacific
Mail company was a government subsidized
line and that the roads In the Transconti
nental association had received government
aid. It was through their secret agreement
they sought to prevent the pcoplo from
getting the benollt of full competition.
Mr. Leeds said that he had made a calcula
tion of the burdens paid by the pcoplo of Cal
ifornia for transportation within the state
only , The gross annual earnings of the
Southern Pacific liailroad company Mono In
the state of California amounted to J.TO.OOO.-
000 , or fJO per head of the population.
Freight rates in California should be de
creased 33 per cent , or $7C > 00,000 annually
over the Southern Pacific. For carrying
freight from San Francisco to Fresno , 200
miles , 75 cents per 100 pounds was charged ,
which would carry the same freight from
Now Yorlc to Wichita , ICan. No other coun
try than California could stand such rates.
13. E. Oppcnhcim , secretary-treasurer of
the Panama road , was examined. Ho said
the reason the Panama Railway company
did not rciow Its contract with the Pacific
Mall company was because the railroad com
pany wished to gain Us Independence. Ho
further said that in the negotiations for n
now contract with the Pacific Mail his com
pany Insisted on making rates , but the non-
renewal was the result of actions of C. P.
Huntington in the matter.
General John Newton , president of the
company. corroborUed the testimony of Mr.
Oppcnhctui , and the committee adjourned.

TO ADVERTISE'OMAHA. .
Council Will Appropriate 810,000 If the
Ic'opfo Approve.
There was not a very liberal turnout of
citizens last evening at the meeting of the
council , and it looked as If a damper had
been put upon the proposition to advertise
Omaha at the World's fair. These present ,
however , were enthusiastic supporters of
the proposition , and several red hot speeches
were made In favor of the idea. The coun-
cllmcn maintained silence until the citizens
had expressed themselves , and then they
turned , to and In a practlo.il manner ex
pressed themselves.
D J. Donahue , the president of the Ne
braska Development company , detailed the
plan for advertising the city , and thought
that about $10,000 would bo required to carry
the project through.
In response to requests Colonel Chase ,
President Gibbon of the Board of Trade ,
Thomas Kilpatrlck. J. G. Gilmore , Mr. Hayden -
den , Mr. Hunt and W. F. Lorenzou expressed
tholr views , as did Mayor Bomis. Without
exception the gentlemen were in favor of
the project and believed that the council
should appropriate the necessary money.
They believed that the city would never
again have the opport/unity to be advertised
in n manner that would bear such excellent
results.
Mrs. Brlggs , the Nebraska member of the
national Iraard of lady managers , was pres
ent and addressed the council in response to
the request ot several members. She told of
the progress of the work and what was expected -
pected of Omaha by the members from other
cities and states. She urged the necessity of
taking the nroposcd step , which will rebound
to the credit of the city.
City Attorney Council said that the coun
cil ahad no legal authority to appropriate
money for the purpose , although ho believed
the project was a good ono.
The councllmcn took a hand In the discus
sion , and while ( hey realized that they had
not the legal power to appropriate the funds ,
Mr. Munro , Mr. Jacobscn , Mr. Ilascalt , Mr.
Elsasser and Mr. Wheeler were disposed to
vote the money and take the consequences ,
The other members were favorable to the
project and were willing to vote for the ap
propriation as soon as they were satisfied
that puhllo opinion was with them.
The following resolution was offered by
Mr. Wheeler and adopted , Mr. Bruner being
the only member voting In the negative :
Ito.solvcd , That It is the unanimous opinion
of the city council that tliu proposition sub
mitted by Mr. O'Donuhuo , president of the
Nobrasku Davulopmnnt cum puny , who pro
poses to exhibit the food products of Nebraska
in the Nebraska state building upon the
World's fnlr grounds at Chicago during the
coming I'oluiiiblun exhibition , Is n good and
foaslblo way In which to properly advertlsu
the city ami state , and the council bavufull
confliiunro In the honesty and Integrity of the
promoters of this enterprise , anil that the
members ot the city council will cheerfully
vote funds to aid In paying the necessary expenses -
ponses of tlm work , provided the tiuntlmcnt of
the citizens of Omaha shall be expressed In
favor of such an expenditure not exceeding
810.000. .
The matter will bo taken upfor final action
Tuesday ovoulng and will bo tho'llrst order
of business transacted.
The finance committee was Instructed to
look'lnto the proposed plan of the Nebraska

nance that was recently Introduced.

AH Negotiation * llotwccn the 1'URllUt *
ituletl : In llurinlcus Talk.
Nnw YOUK , Fob. 23.-Chnrloy Mitchell has
made n public declaration that ho will not
meet William A. Brady , Corbott's manager ,
In Canada , Saturday , to sign articles , de
spite the fact ho gave his word that ho
would. This afternoon ho said ho uow
wants the $10,000 stake money deposited in
Now Orleans.
Before Mitchell loft the Gcdnoy house this
afternoon ho Issued n letter In which ho says
In substance that ho came to this country for
no other purpose than to fight Corbott. In
order to complete arrangements for the light
ho has conceded point after jwlnt to Corbott ,
simply to convince the public that ho was
anxious to light. After conceding prac
tically everything ho says the police
threatened arrest if the deposit of $10,000 Is
made or the articles signed. Mitchell says
he Is not anxious to be sacrificed upon the
law's altar for violation of statutes against
pugilistic cncounter.s. Ho remanks that
there was no objection to prize fighting until
ho cnmo to this country , and 116 proposes
that Corbett meet him somewhere , where
articles may bo signed without transgressing
the laws. To this end ho suggests
New Orleans. The statement that Mitchell
desires the inonoy posted In New Orleans
has caused consternation among' the man
agers of the Coney Island Athletic club , as It
virtually means that Mitchell wants to light
In Louisiana and not In the north. It Is said
that Corbett will Insist upon lighting before
the Coney Island Athletic club , so it h most
likely the match will fall through.
Brady , It is said , will drop Mitchell and
make a match with Peter Jackson on Mon
day. Brady and Mitchell met tonight and
the meeting resulted In the proposed trip to
Canada being abandoned and the match
being virtually declared off. Mitchell will
go to New Orleans with Jim Hall and second
him in his lljrht on March 8 with Bob Fitz-
slmmons. If Corbott desires to oiwm negotia
tions there It is all right , Mitchell says ; if
ho docs not. ho will return to England.
NIAOAUA FALLS , Ont. , Fob. 23. There Is no
truth in the report that the chief of the On
tario police has received "instructions to ar
rest or in any way Interfere with the Mitch-
ell-Corbott party when they como hero to
sign articles for their fight. The town coun
cil at a meeting last Monday night unani
mously decided not to interfere with the
fighters on their arrival , and the mayor says
ho will not rebel against the action taken by
the local authorities.

EPISCOPAL MISSION BEGUN
Opening Discourse of Algernon S. Orap-
ecy ,
%
SKETCH OF AN INTERESTING PERSONALITY
Sermon onVhnt Shall It rrollt n Mnu
If llo ( lulu the Whole World
n ml l.oiii III * Own
8oul. "
Probably the most eloqtnnt priest of the
Episcopal church heard in Omaha for years
inaugurated n ton dujs' mission at Trinity
cathedral last evening , the beautiful uhurch
being crowded to Its fullostcapaclty. to hoar
this man who comes as a herald of the true
faith.
Algernon S. Crapsoy Is In many senses
remarkable man. Ho has the face of a soldier
and never was there n more humbler soldier
of the cross than Is the mlssloner at Trinity.
Looked nt full face he Is not * unlike the pic
tures of NaHleon | , hut without the "Little
Corporal's" asccrbtty or hauteur. On the
contrary , his face beams with good nature ,
with sunshine , and his voice is like the soft
ened cadences of a sacred cantata , yet
withal It sometimes takes on the tones of
the sub-bass In nn oivan , and thrills with
just as much power.
Judged from his work of lust evening , Mr.
Crapsoy would seem to bo a born mlsslonor ,
for never have the Episcopal church pcoplo
Of this city seen so many innovations along
the line of accepted church ritualism. Not
content with preaching from the pulpit , he
talked from the chancel and pleaded from a
chair near the chan.'el rail. Dividing his
sermon Into parts , ho broke Its continuity
with prayer and song , and yet with the
power ho so well knows how to uo ho gath
ered the threads dropped in the course of the
discourse and weavcd them Into garments of
rich texture. Sitting In a reverential posi
tion near the chancel steps , talking of the
beauty and sublimity of the soul and of Its
mission , ho seemed like nn Instructor of old ,
at whoso feet the wise men sat and gathered
wisdom from his teachings ,
The JINMon
Rev. Paul Matthews , head of the associate
mission , read the service while Rev. Mr.
Crapsoy read the lessons , The hymn "My
Faith Looks Up to Theo" was then sung ,
after which the mlsslonor said a prayer and
Invoked the divine Trinity. Ho then as
cended the pulpit and announced his text :
St. Matthew xvl. , 2U , "What shall It profit a
man if ho gain the whole world and lose his
own soul ! "
"These words of our Lord and Saviour ,
Jesus Christ , " said the speaker , "aro most
familiar to our ears , for they have been
preached until they seem to have been worn
threadbare. Our very familiarity with them
seems to have taken away from them much
that would otherwise bo regarded as
startling. In explaining the words one
naturally recalls that our blessed Lord spako
by hyperbole to best reflect His meaning ,
just as speakers of today do to make their
meaning moro clear , and still clothe their
thoughts in beauty of imagery. But , not
withstanding that preachers would have
you bcllovo that these words must be taken
with a grain of thought. I will , by the grace
from God. show you that these words are
to bo taken literally , that they are not
words of madness , nor visionary In their
nature , but full of truth and of sublimity as
well. "
The preacher then defined what a humtu
soul was , remarking that at first sight a
soul seemed to bo a very little thing , there
are so many of us. Mr. Crapsoy then
defined the soul as that vital living thing
which Is ourselves , and went on to say that
it had many marvelous faculties , that of
memory being most predominant , by which
wo preserve our Identity through all the
years of our llfo. Everything that comes to
our eyes or ears Is hero stored up In that
wonderful storehouse.
Mull a I'rno Auiit | <
But , said the mtssloncr , joined to tlm moir-
ory is that great quality of judgment mult *
Ing our lives ruled by immutable laws and
not by haphazard as some people would havci
us bcllovo. Ho then passed to n considera
tion of the emotional faculties , telling of the
beauty of love , of the wickedness of hatred
and spoke eloquently of the love between
husband and wife , brothers and frlcndjand
the bate between brother mid brother. He
drew beautiful pictures of life and the de
pendence of it all upon God , showing by argu
ment upon argument that the words of
Christ were to bo taken in their literal char
acter. The vice of profanity , of vanity and
covetousness , the swelling tumors of prldo
and importance were denominated as
diseases of the flesh which could only bo
alleviated by the All Wise Physician work
ing through the soul.
In closing ho asked all the pcoplo to go
ho TIC and without arguing the question wltli
their neighbors , go into thair closets and sci-
whether they were ullllctcd with tht
diseases enumerated.
Services will bo nold at the cathedral as
