LINCOLN , Neb. , March I. [ Special Telegram -
gram to TUB Hin. ] The usually scilnto nnd
dignified scnato threw off Its courtly demeanor
meaner for OHCO this evening and indulged
in a free-for-all parliamentary scrapping
match , The struggle arose over an effort hy
the independent senators to prevent the con
sideration of the general appropriation bill
in committee of the whole , to which the rep
resentatives of the various state Institutions
had been invited for the purpose of speaking
in regard to the needs of tho. sovcr.il estab
lishments. The Independent senators had
protested agains * , allowing these gentlemen
to appear , claiming that the standing rules
' of the senate prohibited them. A point of
order raised on Monday to the effect that It
1 would require a two-thirds vote to change
the rules was overruled by the president.
Trouble from the I'lrnt Jump ,
Thollght commenced tonlu'ht as soon as
the senate . was called to order. When a
motion was made to go Into committee of
the whole Stewart called for the read
ing of n number of bills which had been read
by their titles this afternoon. The chair do-
cfdcd that the bills could bo properly read to
morrow.
Senator TcfTt moved thai the scnato go
into committee of the whole. On this the
yeas and nays were demanded.
Before the result was announced Dale de
manded a call of the house. The doors were
locked and the sergeant-at-arms sent after
Senator Grey , who was the only absentee.
At the end of ten minutes the ofllccr brought
in the senator. As soon as further proceed
ings under the call were , dispensed with
Stewart moved to adjourn. The chair ruled
the motion out of order for the reason that a
roll call was pending.
On the motion to go into committee of the
whole Dysart changed his vote to aye and
i before ho could move a reconsideration the
-i..Vikr..iad called Senator Mattes to the chair.
'Then the Independents began to filibuster
nnd for au hour they prevented the effecting
of the purpose for which the evening session
had been called.
With .Mattes In Command.
Stewart , Dysart and Dale led the fight.
Stewart's motion that the committee rlso
was not agreed to and loud calls for a divi
sion wore ignored by the chairman.
Innumerable appeals were taken from the
decisions of Chairman Mattes and ho put
them in a manner that tickled the crowd 1m-
' mensely. "All who favor sustaining the dc-
i clslon of the chair say aye. " A chorus of
I ayes would iloat upon the smoko-tainted
| atmosphere and the opposition vote would
( then bo called for in this manner : "All
[ those opposed say no. The chair is sus-
[ tallied. "
Tno independents would catch their
[ breaths and fall back helplessly in their
' chairs , overcome by the superb presiding
genius of the senator from Otoo. Of course
they protested and waxed indignant , but
that was all the good it did. Senator Stew
art 'said ho favored putting on hats and
( ' -walking out , to which Senator North re
plied , "Oo ahead , there is no string tied to
you. " No ono walked out.
Dlil for Inurt.
Senator Dysart had a grievance. Before
the body went into committee of the whole
lie appealed from a decision of the president ,
but the lieutenant governor sat down on
> him and told him that his point was raised
i too late , out that it would properly come on
! ' _ ' again later in committee of the whole.
Dysart waited his time , and when the same
matter came up in the committee raised a
'point of order. Chairman Mattes proinptl.v
ruled It out of order. T.io senator from
i Nuckolls protested , saying that ho had been
promised that the point should bo consid
ered in committee , and that when lie ap
pealed before he was told that ho came too
lato. Ho wanted to know why this was
thnsly.
"Tnat was another chairman , " coolly re
plied Mattes , wlillo the tickled galleries :
cacchlnatcd excessively.
Dysart's chair caught him before ho fell to
the floor.
finally llfiiril the Cull.
The Independents were In a minority , but
nftcr a long , persistent light they carried
their point. They Insisted that In order
that the proceedings might bo perfectly reg
ular the committed should rise and the sen
ate take a recess In order to allow the gon-
tleuien to speak. The republicans gave In
at the end of an hour , only because they
saw that they would bo able to make no pro
gress unless they did give in. Motions ,
jwlnts of order , questions of privilege and all
, other parliamentary weapons of a minority
crowned after each other with monotonous
regularity until the republicans and demo
crats capitulated as gracefully as possible.
The committee rose ami thu scnato took a
recess for ono hour. Superintendent John-
BOH of the Hastings Insane asylum and
Olllosplo of the Institute for the Deaf and
Dumb , Chancellor Canlleld of the State uni
versity , Superintendent Malhlleu of the
Kearney Industrial school appeared for their
respective Institutions , and at the close of
their remarks the meeting adjourned.
.Mujor Douncil 111 * .111111 ,
The lieutenant governor tore another leaf
from Church Howe's cabbage this afternoon
when the scnato refused anP
to confirm the ap
pointment of the latter as a member of the
( State Kducational board. It Is stated that
the reason that the senators refused to ati
con i-
firm was that tho.v fcured that such action
would bo unconstitutional and In violation of
their oaths of onlco. Inasmuch , however , as
this was the point raised by Majors against
Howe when the matter was first talked > stf
it Is not dlnicult to attribute the opposition
to the proper source. Further than thls.lt
is a well known fact that the same objec
tion was raised against '
Howe's
con-
Urination on former occasions inns
, when ho was
appointed to the same i > obltion and under
the same circumstances
by other
governors
rs ,
and the [ mint was not hold to bo of sulllcicnt
forcer or significance to prevent the conllrma-
ta -
tion , The attorney general was called il n
to pass Uion | the
question two years ago ,
( n't ' submitted a written opinion to the ef
fect that the law did not touch the case ofIn
controversy This year an opinion to the
feumo.effect was secured from ex-Attorney
oy
General Lease , uud extra Judicial opinions of
the same tenor were given by members of
the supreme bench. They all went for
naught because the other Ncinnha states
man was in the Held with his coat off work
ing for the dcfe.it of Howe , and it must bo
natd that ho was successful In bringing his
game to bag. The question that several
| K > litIcIans are trying to solve is how Majors
managed to uul such a pull on the republican
ucnators and a good sllco of the opposition
to boot.
I'romlftci for tin ; I'citiirr ,
Howe toolc his defeat considerably to
heart , not because ho cared for tlio place ,
but because ho had been knocked out by his
old time enemy. Ho swallowed his chagrin
tis best he could , nnd Intimated that from
this time henceforth and forever there
would bo h 1 to pay In Nonwha. Ho attrib
utes his defeat to Majors , nnd says that "If
Tom wants it that way he can bo accommo
dated. "
It Is conceded that Howe has been the
best friend that the Peru Normal school
ever had , and ho showed his friendship a
few days ago when the appropriation bill
was before the house. The appropria
tion for every other state institution was
cut , but Howe managed to have the commit
tee make an exception in the case of this In
stitution , and It went through the committee
of the whole and was afterward passed.
Speil : < i-r O.iMlii Xot lloprlul.
Speaker Gaflln suld tonight that ho was
certain that a maximum rate bill would re
ceive from sixty-live to sixty-eight votes in
the house , enough to pass it with an cmerai
gency clause , but that It would bo killed In
the senate. Ho also said that ho was satis-
lied that tlio stock yards bill , which has albe
ready passed the house , would bo Aaujjh *
tercil in the senate , and that very few bills
would bo able to successfully run the gaunth
lot of the august body at the other end of the
houso. He expressed the opinion that the
meeting of the railroad committee this afterot
noon to give an audience to the railroad oflltl
clals was wholly uncalled for , and should not
have been allowed , and further .stilted that
the only result of these- meetings would bo
to give certain members , who wanted to vote
for the railroads and could not find an excc
ctiso for so doing , a reason to allege to their
constituents in justification of their course.
lloimil to Down Ilowo.
The action of the senate In refusing to con
firm tlio appointment of Howe is the leading
subject of discussion at the several political
headquarters tonight. The action Is all the
more a surprise for the reason that last
night it was considered certain the nomina
tion would bo confirmed.
The scnato went Into executive session Im
mediately after lielnsf called to order this
afternoon and a vote was not reached until
an hour later. A discussion of the matter
was entirely along constitutional lines ,
nnd so far as the debate was
concerned , there was not the
slightest reference to any personal objection
to Howe's confirmation. The only matter
of difference- was the constitutional point of
law Involved. H was held by a large major
ity of the republican senators that Howe's
appointment was clearly in direct conflict
with the provisions of the constitution.
Senator Teift combated this view of
the case with all the force of a well
trained mind , but the conviction had ob
tained too great a hold upon the minds of
his fellow senators to allow it to be shaken.
IiiilpponiltMits Not Vindictive.
On the Inpepcndcnt side of the chamber
the opposition was not so marked. Several
of the senators held the same view ns a ma
jority of the republicans and three of them
voted against the confirmation. Senator
Harris voted against the confirmation of all
the members of the board appointed by the
governor for the reason , as ho explained ,
that ho believed the appointments should
not only bo taken entirely out of politics , but
that they should also bo given to practical
and experienced educators. The democrat ! "
senators refrained from voting on the ques
tion , rather preferring to lot thp republicans
settle their differences among themselves.
The vote in detail was as follows :
How Arc They Yotlni ; .
For confirmation : Campbell , Dale , Dar
ner , Dysart. Gray , Lobeck , Moon * , Mullen ,
Packwootl , Sanders , Tefft , Young 12.
Against continuation : Correll , ICgglcston ,

nominations of Elder , Ilowo and Dr. Houtz 3B

BBATIIICB , Nob. , Mirch 1. [ Spedil Tele
gram to TUB BKK.I Last night the city
council assembled in regular session with
Councilman Saunders , president , In the
chair. There are at present but six councilmen -
men In the city and it takes these six to
make a quorum. Under the now law all the
cotincllmen have Hied their bonds nnd quali
fied , except Saunders. Ho has , however ,
filed ' his b&nd , but Mayor Phillips has thus
far declined to approve of It.
While the meeting was in progress last
night Mayor Phillips put in an appearaneo
and demanded to know by what right Mr.
Saunders : sat In the council.
A spirited wordy contest at once began
between tne two and some vigorous language
was used. The mayor observed Dually If Mr.
Saunders ; would aslc him to approve his bond
ho < would do so. Saunders Indignantly de
clined to so humiliate himself and the council
ci adjourned. The question Is a peculiar
one. as , according to the mayor's position ,
the city council has not a legal quorum of
members and cannot consequently transact
any legal business , nor has any of the busi
ness transacted by the council since Feb
ruary ' - ! . " > been legal , because at that time the
constitutional limit for the members to
qualify by illln1. ? their bonds expired.
Mayor Phillips' friends claim that he can
hold : ' . ' over his olllco for another year , and
that the call made by the council on Satur
day last foi a city election Is null and void.
The matter will very likely bo carried to the
courts for final settlement.

llehiif Hun ? .
Ct.cAiuvATT.it , Neb. , March 1. [ Special
Telegram to THE Bni ; . ] This community
was the scc io today of a species of ruffian
ism not often excelled even in the west. P.
W. Hyatt employed a man on his farm about
a year ago. Ho says the man took ono of his
horses out of the stable without his permls-
sion and caused it to break its shoulder by
rough usage. In settling with the man ho
held back part of his wages on account of
the Injured horso. The man sued him , but
Hyatt got judgment for more than ho had rp-
tained out of his wages.
Today the hired man with ono of his
friends came to town , hunted Hyatt up and
tried to get into a light with him. Hyatt
stopped away from them and left town on
foot. As soon as the two men found ho had
left for homo they followed him on horseback
with a cowboy's lariat and revolvers. They
forced film to throw them his pockctbook.
They took out the money and threw it down
and ordcrod him to pick it up , Intending to
rope him while doing so.
Hyatt had nothing with which to defend
himself but a pockctknifo and had all ho
could do to keep the rope off.
Although both his antagonists were largo
men they sought to get the lariat around his
neck before they would approach him. They
drew guns and ordered him to lay his knlfo
down. Luckily for Hyatt some corn shelters
came in sight at this juncture and the
rufllans ran away. This is the second time
Hyatt has been forced to give up iiia money.
So far no arrests have been made.

D. C. , March 1.-Special [
Telegram to Tnr. BEE. ] The trl-color on-
ircles the wliito marble columns of every
iiiblio building in Washington. Bunting
ind the star spangled banner brighten the
gartshness of the yellow pine stands which
vlll on next Saturday support 5XOJ3 ) people
between whoso solid ranks will bo marched
ho triumphal procession which will escort
ho new president from the capital to the
vhlto houso. Until within a few days tlio
'ncadcs of the public buildings at tha mi-
lonal capltol have boon sombar with the
tmblcms of mourntn ? in commemoration of
he death of ex-President Hayes. Today
vith the aid of an Italian sky and an almost
April sunshine they have blossomed into a '
rrdlant uiticip.itlon of the great qu.ulrcn-
ilal spictaclo of a presidential inauguration.
'Jot ' only nro all the publlo buildings gay
vith the national Hag , but every private
mildlng nlon'j the line of march flaunts
muting from cornice and window.
A storm would bedraggle many of these
decorations and everybody In Washington Is
that Uncle Jerry Husk will maintain
'or the rest of the week the brlcht and
Kilmy weather of today. These decorations
ire in many Instances most elaborate nn.l
costly. Moreover , never before have there
jeen made such elaborate and thoughtful
irrangcmcnts for the comfortable neeommo-
lation of spectators who wish to view the
greatest parade In numbers that has ever
jcen reviewed by a president after ho has
taken his oath of oflice.
The local committees have established
mreaus of public comfort and the railroads
made special arrangements to handle
their local traflle at temporary stations , so
is to gh'Oj the Incoming thousands of pass
engers the unrestricted use of the regular
stations. Any arriving stranger who has
; iot already secured quarters will have no
llflloulty in finding prompt direction to n
lodging place or boarding house. What ho
will have to pay for his quarters is of course <
mother question , but it Is claimed by the
ocal committees that Washington was never
: > ofore so well prepared to receive a throng
of visitors and that there will bo no necessity
Tor the use ot billiard tables as beds or for
Homeless crowds to tramp about the streets
all night as was the case four years ago.
Just n I.lttlo Crowili-il Now.
Nevertheless the city Is already crowded.
The sidewalks are thronged with visitors
and at the regular public reception given by
the president today the vis'tors not only
crowded the spacious cast room , but formed
a line , which extended from the portico of
the white house to Pennsylvania avenue , a
[ itstanco of about a city block. This was the
last occasion upon which any private ; citizen
could exercise the opportunity of shaking
the hand of President Harrison. It was
noticeable that many of those passed In
swiftprocession before the president today
seized the opportunity of a second to shoot at
his ear a complimentary sentence.
The great event of tomorrow will bo the
arrival of the president-elect. The special
train bearing Air. Cleveland and his persona !
guests Is expected to reach Washing ton in
tiiiio for a late dinner. According to prece
dent President Harrison will , after Mr.
Cleveland's arrival , drive from the white
house to the Arlington hotel nnd there give
personal greeting to his successor and his
predecessor. Aside from this call it Is prob
able that Mr. Cleveland will try to avoid re
ceiving tomorrow night the throng of vis
itors who will undoubtedly besiege the approaches
preaches of his apartments at the Arling
ton. The rooms vcservca for the use of the
Cleveland family and their immediate party
have been most elaborately decorated by
Mr. Kosello and Manager Bennett.
On Friday President-elect Cleveland will
return the courtesy of President Harrison
by himself calling at the white house. With
this Interchange of formalities the personal
courtesies between outgoing and incoming
presidents usually end.
General Harrison , however , will exceed all
precedent by giving a private dinner party
at the white house oti Friday evening to Mr.
and Mrs. Cleveland and a few other guests.
This dinner Is strictly nonofllcial and en
tirely personal in its character. It is under
stood to be the result of certain private cor
respondence which has been exchanged be
tween the president and his successor , Mr.
Cleveland has been most generous and sym
pathetic In private communications to the
president concerning his domestic aflllctlons ,
and President Harrison has been naturally
responsive.
Four years ago , when General Harrison
succeeded Mr. Cleveland , the usual formal
courtesies between the two men were marked
by noticeable good feeling. Kadlcally and
conscientiously opposed to each other In
their theories of political economy , both
men have never neglected any opportunity
to express the highest regard ouch for the
other's personal character and every ono
will recall that In the history of American 3i 3i i
polities no two presidential campaigns were i
more free from attacks upon the candidates
than those of ISSd and IS'JA
Clovflunil'H Last Day at LnUmvoml.
LAKCWOOP , N. J. , March 1. Mr. Cleveland
had no callers of importance today , and his
last day in Lakewood was employed in pack
ing up his private papers , correspondence
and personal belongings.
The board walk in front of the cottage was
thronged with villagers and hotel guests ,
who svcro taking their last look at the
' little white house" and watching for an op
portunity to see any member of the presi'
dent-elect's family. Everything was put in
readiness today for their departure.
The Cleveland family will leave the Clove

_ train is expected at/11 :45. :

NEW YOIIK , March 1. For the second time
.11 thrco weeks Isador Wormser of the
brokers firm of I. & S. Wormser got into n
row on the lloor of the Stock exchange with
disastrous results to his facial appearance.
Mr. Wormser's trouble was due to his per
sistence in forcing his way througlr the
[ lending crowd , which proceeding caused
iiim to step upon the pet corn of Broker C.
E. Chapman , a Heading specialist , and inci-
den'.ally hurt the hitter's feelings. Mr.
Chapman Is fin years old , but full of ginger ,
and he promptly objected to Mr. Wormsor's
attempt to "bear" .tho "corn" market.
The delighted by-standcrs egged him on
with such remarks as "Give it to him I'1
"Hit him in the eyol" "Smash htm in the
nose I" "and similar warlike exhortations ,
whereupon Isador pushed his fist into close
juxtaposition with Chapman's features. It
was a fatal move for Isudor's beauty. Chap
man countered with his left nnd landed
heavily on Wormser's right optic , which
almost Instantly assumed n beautiful
cereulean tint , with an increasing tendency
to prow darker.
By this time the excitement was intense
and the on-looking brokers were betting on
the result and hoping that It would bo a
finish light. But they were doomed lo disap
pointment. Broker Bass of the firm of
llolston & Bass , at the risk of getting him
self disliked by everybody , separated the
combatants , and Mr. Wormser withdrew to
the lavatory to bathe his distorted and
swollen optic.
The probability of Mr. Chapman's suspen
sion afforded little satisfaction to the specta
tors , who passed informal resolutions of
regret that the bellgerants were not allowed
to light itout.

to build a competing road. San Francisco
capitalists wcro interested in tlio scheme ,
which was to build from San Francisco to
Nevada to connect with a line to bo built by
Salt Lake City , thus connecting ivith the

abandoning the project Is the opposition of
the Merchants Tr.iftlc association to the pas
sage of a bill in the legislature allowing the
consolidation of a California road with a road
In another state , the claim being that sueh a
law would allow the Southern Pacific , which it
was lighting , to consolidate its local lines
