PLANNING TO DEFEAT HOUSE LEGISLATION tionnlo Will Dolnr to the I .ml nnil Then I'unli In the Appropriation for tlio.Secre taries Work In tlin Upper Home Much llchlml. LINCOLN. Nob. , March . [ Special to TUB JliJE.1Notwithstanding the action of the El house In cutting off the appropriation for the If secretaries of the State Board of Transpor tation , the secretaries have not given up hope and their actions lead to the belief that they nro perfectly satisfied with the out look. No ono believes that the railroads have any Idea of giving up cither the State Board of Transportation or the secretaries , and It is understood that there Is n pretty llttlo scheme on foot to defeat In the senate the bill repealing the law creating the board and at the last mlnuto to get In a provision to take the place of the stricken out clause relating to the secretaries. This will , of course , have to bo done late in the session , probably ono of the very last things , but that It In Intended no ono familiar with the tactics of the railroad machine will for a moment doubt. It Is because of this phase of the situation and several others of the same character that the speaker will have to bo on the alert during the last days of the session If the In terests of the people are to bo protected. Tb.it ofllcial will bo In a jwsltlon to do moro to upset the plans of thu lobby than almost anybody else , but it will require the utmost vigilance on his part to thwart .the schemes that will ho sought to bo practiced. The naming of a sifting committee ar'-J of a con ference committee will do\olvo upon him , nnd n man in thi.t place -.vlth a disposition and willingness to stand uji to the rack and bo counted will only sulllco to overturn the prearranged plan of the corporation man agers , ( iitllln Promlflrft Clone Scrutiny. Speaker GnfHn says that ho Is aware of the responsibility resting u ] > oii him , and being forewarned will take good care to bo forearmed aga.nst the surprise that , will bo auro to come on the last night or two of the session. He Is determined that the good work that the house has thus far accom plished shall not MO undone If it can possibly bo prevented , and while he Is not hopeful of any assistance from the senate in the day of legislation , ho lias made up his mind that the sonata shall not force a wholesale raise of appropriations by the aid of n house conference committee , aftdi the house has already declared for radical retrenchment along that line. It is stateu that ono thing that will bo de manded by the senate when the Newberry 1)111 goes before thht body will be that the Hoard of Transportation bo maintained. Speaker Gallln said that ho was certain the house would concede this point rather than liavo the bill defeated. Looking Into World's Fair Mutton. The senate committee on the World's fair [ is conducting a quiet investigation into the work ' of the state commission , and a report will'shortly bo submitted that will score the commissioners for acts that havn failed ; 10o impress the committee ns being the proper thing. The accounts of the commission nro being gone Into and the , difference of opinion that has existed for some time between Commissioner General Garneau and Secre tary Gale is bringing to light some trans actions that call for extended explanations . Among them is a freight voucher that Gale refused to issue a warrant on , hoUiing that the charge of $100 thereon was excessive. The drayngo charge on the gooas was only 2T cents , and the secretary held that the freight charges to Chicago on property that drayman would haul for U5 cents should not amount to $100. Ho further held that ho was Justified in refusing payment , as the railroad bill of lading was not attached , and demanded that it bo shown. No bill was forthcoming , and nothing , further was said about the matter. The drayage bill was in the handwriting of Commissioner Mobley and the freight bill was In the handwriting " i' , of the coinn * JHioncr general , and signed "Rv Mobley , The committee gives it out la that the Investigation will go to the in of the matter , and that the report will bo in strict accordance with the Ine facts elicited , re gardless of what Individual may be hurt euy the plain statement of tlio truth. Scnnto Auiiy lit-Iilutl. The house has passed its forty-sixth day , and will undoubtedly bo ready to adjourn before - fore the senate catches up , but this will JObo impossible , and there will bo some loud com plaining on the part of the members when they find themselves compelled to litho around the capltol day after day to give the senate a chance to got its In time. The upper house Is four days behind , and Instead of evincing a disposition to catch up is figuring on how best to fall oven further behind. There are junkets to bo taken and tours id.of infarmntion to bo made , if existing programs are carried out , and it Is dllllcult to see where they will como in without encroach ing on the regular worxing days. A junket to the World's fair grounds Is looked for ward to with pleasure by the senators , and n giddy whirl up to Hot Springs. S. D. , is also on the tapis. It may bo diflleuit for hood Oilnitfatcd to see Just what material good 4wld be accomplished by any of these jaunts , ftut it must bo remembered that the senate " "A an Influential body. It is believed that it can extend Its influence to the house by in direction If not directly. Wlmt Is Alinml At. It must bo understood that after a member r has lounged around hotel rotundas for llvo i or ten days after his pay ns a legislator has stopped ho becomes moro of an individual and less of a representative of the people , and some of the senators who are figuring fin the interests of the corporations are of the opinion that if they can hold tho-lcglslature in session long enough they will bo nbjo to force some of the refractory members of the lower house into a moro tractable frame > of mind. It is fondly hoped by thorn that mo members might then bo found who uld consent to have their hotel bills paid , indo that others would bo willing to concede u point for piosako of securing tin adjourn- , mcnt sine d'o. That the sweating process will bo employed before the end of the ses sion is ns certain us thu sixtieth day is lesto roll around. Heprcscutatlvo Casper said today that ho was certain that the session would be pro longed at least twelve or fifteen days beyond the time when pay would stop , us hu had : heard enough on that imint to convince him most thoroughly as lo railroad intentions. .Mujors ni 1111 Autocrat. The lieutenant governor has developed 1 a penchant forgetting into hot water with ' monotonous' regularity of late , und today made another move in that direction. He made an order in the senate expunging from the record the red hot speech of Senator Stewart , arraigning Majors as presi dent of thu senate and Sena ! tor Mattes as chairman of the commltteo of the whole , for unjust decision made during the discussion of the general appropriation bill. Ho ruled it out on the eround that it hi'd not been uont up in vritlng before being delivered. The facts uro that the independent senator had thu speech taken in shorthand at the time of the delivery , nnd at once asked its i In- corporation in thn Journal of the senate. Senator Mattes sent up his reply , roasting Stewart nnd the independents In writing , and the lieutenant governor availed himself of tils fact to exclude the speech of ono and admit the other , us the latter Erotccted him and tlio former admin- iterod a verbal flagellation that was annoying to his sensitive political cutlclo. It is because of this action that hu is being roundly denounced by all the inde- : I' * pendents tonight , for taking an unfair nil- vantage of the opx ] > sition , and ho is further charged with cowardIce , us the matter which was excluded was ] > ersonally objec tionable to-tho lieutenant governor , and itis alleged that ho took advantage of a tech nicality to protect his own oDlcial bacon. Another Pull Hi-fore Him. In this connection It may bo stated that there is good reason to believe that the lieutenant governor may soon awuko to nuts - other dis aj > olntiucut , mid that tlio smile of sclf-sumclnR victory that spread over his countenance a fovr ilays nifo when the son- nte refused to confirm the appointment of Church IIowo ns a member of the Stnto Board of Education of the Pom Normal school will fade from sight and glvo place to another of surprise and sorrow. A consultation of llvo of the loading attorneys of Omaha and Lincoln was hold hero last evening , nnd it was decided that thu appointments did not have to bo confirmed by the senate , ns the statute docs not specify anything of the kind. It Is stated that the governor discovered this toforo the scnato took action on the matter , arid sent up a communication withdrawing the names of all the parties , but the doors of the scnnto chamber were locked nt the time , ns the body was then in executive session consider ing the appointments , and the messenger was denied admission , Hnd No IllKlit In the Matter. It Is now given out that the senate has passed upon sever.'il appointments over which It probably had no Jurisdiction , anil that its i prerogative . . . . of _ confirmation . . . extends _ . _ 11 t r only to the headi of state institutions. Under this construction of the law the senate had no rights to pass upon the appointment of Dr. Holz , chaplain Howe , Steward Simpson or any members of the educational board , and It is stated that never before has the senate . had . . any np- . - - - - pointments of chaplain or physician under consideration. The attorney general agrees with the governor and other eminent law yers who have looked Into the mutter. That the governor has concluded to act In accordance with that decision Is shown by the fact that hu did not submit the appoint ment of Frank Hilton ns state oil Inspector , the commission being at once issued , and It Is stated that no more names will go in c * cept such as are specifically named" in the statutes. The gentleman from Nemaha was asked about this new phase of the situation this evening , but ho declined to bo interviewed on the subject. Ho said that nil ho knew about the matter was that he was appointed in April , IS'Jl , by Governor Boyd for n term of llvo years , ami ho was unaware that there was any provision in the statutes for his removal before the expiration of that time. Why Church Itowo Sinllt-n. Members of the legal frafernlty go so fai ns to say that no member can bo removed , oven by the appointing power , after the n ] > - imlntment has been made. They state that Governor Crounso really had no appoint ments to make this year for this place , as the three named by him were appointed by Governor 13oyd n year ago , and there were therefore no vacancies on the board to fill. The governor , as n matter of fact , did not make the appoint ments , as ho found them already made by his predecessor , and laboring under n mis apprehension as to their having to bo con firmed , sent them to the senate. It is stated that this is the situation that will turn vic tory into defeat for the lieutenant governor and vic-o versa for his legislative colleague from Ncmalia. IN Till ! NK.VATH.

After the journal had been read the lieutenant gov ernor directed the secretary to expunge from the record any explanations inado by sena tors which had not been offered in writing and lo observe this rule in making up the Journal in the future. After receiving a largo number of peti tions asking for the passage of a maximum rate law. the senate listened to reports from standing committees as follows : The committee on public printing pre sented two reports on senate fllo No. 109 , re quiring county printing to be let to the low est responsible bidder. The majority report recommended its indefinite postponement , while the minority report asked that the bill I , go to the general lllo. The latter report was adopted. Two reports came in on house roll No. 23. providing for the election of presidential electors ycongressional districts. The mi nority report sending the bill to the general lllo was adopted. Senate fllo No. 204 , by Sanders , to divide counties into senatorial and representative districts , was indefinitely postponed. House roll No. ! 3 , by Howe , prohibiting the undervaluation of property by assessors , vw sent to the general fllo. Senate fllo No. 105 , to enable women to vote for county superintendents , was indefinitely postponed.

Senate fllo No. 140 , by Halm , to provide erne cheaper text books , etc. , was placed on the general fllo , as was senate fllo No. 192 , by i Scott , to prohibit the selling of cigarettes containing opium or any other poisonous drug. The committee on Soldiers' homo presented its report , urging better sanitary arrange ; ments and several minor changes. The secretary retary was directed to have 200 copies of the Mine printed for the use of the senate. Senate fllo No. 131 , by Young , urovlding fora rcapportionment of the state into sena torial and representative districts was , after ; considerable discussion .indefinitely post poned by a vote of 18 to 12. stay The senate then adjourned until Monday ' at 10 o'clock.

[ Special to THE Ben. ] The members of the house were in a somewhat dilatory fraino of mind when they assembled this morning. The first thing they did after the chaplain had in- voiced a blessing on President Cleveland and the Incoming administration was to auopt a resolution to adjourn at noon until Monday at ii o'clock. Then they consented to have the reading of the journal dispensed with , and at once went into committee or the whole to consider bills on the general fllo. The flrst measure taken up was Oakley's bill , No. It'J. Jt brings express companies under the control of the State Board offer Transportation. It was recommended for passage and ordered engrossed. for third reading. The committee then took up the bill au thorizing the governor to appoint n commandant mandant of the Soldiers' homo at Grand Island. The bill was prepared and intro . duced by the committee on Soldiers' home in response to a request from the governor. As the statutes read at present the execu tive is not authorized to appoint such cunu ofllcer. The bill was recommended for pas- sago. Harry's bill , No. 50 , to amend the statutes regarding taxation , was discussed and rec ommended for passage. It adds to the items enumerated in the assessors' lists the item , "All indebtedness not secured by mortgage on real estate. " It was favorably reported and ordered engrossed for third reading. The next and last measure was Hlggins' bill to compel railroad companies to complete and operate fifty miles of their lines every two years after the expiration of three years from the date of their purchase of right of wily. It was favorably considered and recommended for engrossment. The committee then rose , and its report was adopted by the houso. Casper moved to reconsider the vote by which house roll No. ! HK > , providing for a llvo stock sanitary board , was indefinitely postponed yesterday. The motion was laid over until Monday , and the house adjourned. Dr. Cluck treats catarrh , Barker block.

D. , March 4. [ Special to Tan PBB . ] A day or two ago n gentleman of I'lciTO received the following letter from Governor Mcllctte : It think thU I * a fraud from beginning to end , nl"l I know It Is. I never authorized any or ganization of such force and the state Is under no obligation * , legal or moral , to pay. It la n Job and i ought to bo dropped. Yours truly , A. 0. Jlr.i.l.KTTK. This letter refers to the claim now pending - ing before the legislature for pay and ex penses ? of the hundred and odd men who went out from Hermosa In ISK ! ) to light the Indians during the Pine Hldgo troubles. A' the outbreak of the dlfllculty M. H. Day of Kapld City came to Picrro and laid the state of affairs before Go vernorMelietto. The Indians had risen and were threatening to lay 1 waste to. the country far and wide. They . had loft their reservation and were stealing ' , burning and murdering. There were no regular troops to defend the settlers. The Indians advanced to within twenty mile of Hermosa , and not only ran ofT thousands of dollars worth of cattle , but put lnj jeopardy < the lives of the people. The governor directed Mr. Day to go homo and organize n militia company and defend the people against the marauders , and at the same time ho commissioned Day colonel. Day went to Rapid City and tried to raise a troop there. Failing , ho went to Hermosa and neighboring towns , and in a short tltno had enrolled more than 100 men with horses. The state sent out guns and ammunition. Two MontliN In the .Service. The troops rode southward to the scene of the trouble and during the two months of service made their headquarters nt the ranches of Messrs. McLcod and Stantoii. But while these men thus sacrificed their time and rislccd their lives In the service of the state , the latter has never given them a cent. When Mr. Day began the organization of the company Governor Melletto wrote to him nnd told him to go ahead nnd use his best judgment as to all details. Holylng upon this , Day promised his men that they should bo paid and should have their support sup plied. But nothing has yet been done to ward the discharge of this promise. A bill was before the legislature appropri ating $15,000 for this purpose. It was to defeat this bill that the letter from Mellete was written. The appropria tions committee members were greatly sur prised to read it for they had before them a number of letters from Melleto to Day in the fullest manner authorizing him to do lust what lie did do and giving him full discre tion. There Is little doubt about the genuine ness of the letter , ns it is in the governor's well known hand. The matter has produced a sensation hero nnd has aroused the wrath of the members from the Hills , who are naturally interested iu seeing justice done their friends. Of Intercut to Cuttlo Owners , A very important decision has been made by the supreme court touching the cattle interests in the Black Hills. A man named Holcomb living in Pcnnington county had a ranch house in the same county nnd had nil his branding , rounding up and other ranch work done there , while his cattle grazed largely on the free range across in Eicbacli county. The Pennington assessors assessed these cattle and Holcomb appealed on the ground that the property belonged in 7Ao- bach and should bo taxed there. The court overruled the point on the ground that the home ranch being in Pennington and nil the ranch work being done there and the cattle being driven there at intervals they were properly taxed there. This decision docs not , however , imply thai cattle feeding altogether in the unorganized counties can bo taxed in the organized ones , as it has been construed by many. Some of the Siicct'ssful Hills. The governor has signed the following bills , which have consequently become laws Refunding Deaf Mute Bonds Mr. Ken nedy's bill , 130 , refunding $12,000 Deaf Mute school bonds ; 0 per cent bonds at 3)per cent. cent.Conditional Conditional Sales Mr. Dollard's bill , 140 providing that the title in conditional sales shall vest in the vcndeo as to third parties without notice , unless contract in writing bo filed with register of deeds.

I'lnni for Kxtrnnlun In Oinitliu An Odd KiiHtcTn School. The success of tlio kindergarten schools that have been opened in Omaha in connec tion with the public schools has been an en couragement to the Board of Education and to the superintendent to open others , and at the next meeting of the Board of Education Superintendent Fitzpatrick will recommend to the board that two moro kindergartens bo opened , ono at the L/eavcnworth and the other at the Castollar. Speaking of the matter yesterday Superintendent Fitzpatrick said : "Wo propose to proceed with this matter of establishing kindergarten schools Just as fast as the funds and the demands of the people will permit. Tlio aim will be to plant them llrst in those districts where they are most needed , that is , whcro the people are not in position to provide their children with the best facilities for their primary educa tion. I think the Loavcmvorth and the Gas- tcllar schools will rcacli a largo number of r this class of people and will bo appreciated. Wo must necessarily go a Httlo slow for the reason that kindergarten schools cost money. They can't bo run on pure air and sunshine , exactly. " Referring to the matter of schools In gen eral , the superintendent said ho was very much interested in a visit to tlio old Dwight school in Boston. "Thero is the most unique school in this country , " sild the superintendent , "so far as public schools are concerned. For forty-five j'cars the same man has been the principal of that school. Mr. J. F. Page is the man and ho is an ancient vellum , a typical school master of the old regime. The singular thing about it is that notwithstanding Ills old- fashioned methods ho has sent out from that school iporo bright and brainy men than any other public school of which I ha voany knowl edge. I visited the school in company with Mr. Govo , superintendent of the schools of Denver , and ho showed mo his own record in the Dwighc school made over forty years ago when ho was a Boston school boy. It is a boys school , for in Boston many of the pulllo schools are exclusively for either twys or girls. The same old rigid rules regarding discipline und recitations are In vogue in thu Dwight school that prevailed there forty years ago. Wo even found two boys up in the fourth story 'toeing n mark.1 Mr. Govo remarked that he had toed that identical crack a good many times during his career in the Dwight school. "That old schoolmaster has a way of in stilling into the boys that como under his jurisdiction a species of manliness and self- reliance that is seldom mot with In modern schools. Ho nec-us to violate every modern principle of the school management , and yet the results that he reaches are of the very highest order. I never saw a liner eighth grade class than that which I saw In Ills school. They were rugged manly Iwys who had reasons for everything they did , and wcra not afraid to speak right out when wn asked them questions that might well have caused older heads to hesitate. It is Indeed a marvelous school. There are over il.GOO graduates of the Dwight school scat tered over the country. ARRESTED A YOUNG DENTIST Dr. W. 0.
