LINCOLN , Neb. , March 0. [ Special to THE
BKE. ] The feature of the opening hour of
the house this afternoon was the rejwrt of
the special committee appointed to Investi
gate the amount and condition of the state
funds dcWsItcd | In the defunct Capital Na
tional bank. The reix > rt was not complete
and the committee asked for further time.
The report Is as follows :
"Your special committee appointed to act
In conjunction with a similar committee ap
pointed by the senate to Invcstnrato the con
dition of state money dox | > slted In the Capi
tal National bank at Lincoln. Neb , reports
that after having the same under considera
tion for several weeks , handicapped by Its
duties as members of this house , also by ar
ranging for meetings with Its other commit
tee. has discovered a state of things which
fully warrants It In the belief that this com
mittee should bo continued indefinitely till
the work Is finished and also should have
power to send for persons and papers and
employ accountants and counsel , etc. , or
some other such committee with similar
powers should bo appointed.
"Ono thing Is clearly ascertained. That
Is , thoi stutn of Nebraska did through her
agents deposit at least SJaS.OOO or ! 10,000
in the Canital National bank of Lincoln
which cannot bo had , and to all human ap
pearances but llttlo If any of It will over bo
had unless vigorous measures are taken by
the state to recover the same. And your
committee further believes that some
.solvent party or parties are responsible and
can bo so held , although t-ho courts will have
to locate the responsibility.
"In this connection the committee calls
your attention to two hills introduced by tlie
chairman of this committee looking to this
end , as well as to investigate every state
institution in the state , a degree of looseness
everywhere having been developed to justify
such a move on the part of the
legislature. It also calls your atten
tion to memorandum taken from the bcoks
of the Capital National bank by Bank Ex
aminer Cirlfflth , which will give a clew to the
situation. Said papers are marked 'A , ' 'B1
and 'C' and are made a part of tills report.
"It Is proper to state that the senate .some
ten days or more ago discharged Its commit
tee , having appointed another committee for
such purposes. All of which is respectfully
submitted. "B. ,1. JOHNSON , Chairman ,

that It hold an evening session.
The motion was voted down. So was a
motion by Harris changing the hour of the

The senate then listened to the second

On thu Appropriation Hill.
The senate then went into committee of
the whole , with Harris in the chair on the
consideration of the general appropriation
bill. The first two items relating to the gov
ernor's olllco and the adjutant general were
left lust as they came from the tiouse. When
the item of the appropriation for the office of
the commissioner of labor was reached the
economists struck a snag. Tefft offered an
amendment , giving thcoftlco § 500 for trav
eling expenses , and it was adopted.
The committee then rose and tiio senate

Cuban Toiifjlin Miiku'an Attack on Auiorl-
rmi'l'miulo Hull 1'loycrs.
'
HAVANA , Mnivh ( > , A conflict occurred
yesterday at Aleaundaiw. which nearly re
sulted in serious injury to a number of
American young women. A party of Ameri
cans known as "The American Female Base
Ball club , " have been going about playing
against Cuban clubs. Yesterday the club
was playing at Alencuilarcz , their opponents
being the local club composed of young men.
The majority of the spectators wcro respect
able and well bohavedbut the attendance also
included a share of thu lowest dregs of soci
ety. These latter became irritated at the
playing of the American visitors , and some
of them claimed to bo convinced that It was
simply farcical and did not show professional
skill. They clamored for a return of their
money , and at length broke the seats and
sot fire to the fence around the play ground.
This caused general consternation among the
female players , who were gallantly de
fended by the young men of the Cuban club ,
and by the respectable majority of the spec
tators. Horrible confusion ensued , but the
police finally succeeded In dispersing the
mob nnd giving protection to the young
women ,

Ni\v : Oui.BA.N3 , La. , March C. After a
weary Journey of continuous riding , Inter
spersed with , numerous delays , the special
train conveying Jim Hall and his friends
reached this city .more than twelve hours be
hind the time scheduled , The boys are all
worn out. Hull , however , did not mind the
long journey the least particle , and ho rather
enjoyed the rest , spending most of his time
sleeping or stretched out upon his lounge ,
and ho claims to feel no bad elTccts of the
trip. All along thu line crowus of people
assembled at the stations and cheered Hall
to the echo and wished him good luck.
The Now York , Boston nnd other promi
nent sporting men who came on the Hull
train will back him to the full extent of
largo bank rolls they nro carrying with
them. Dick Koach put up several thousand
dollars on Hall before- leaving Now York ,
and he , Kelley and Caldwell took the long
Journey principally so as to roach a point
where there was plenty of Fitzsimmons
money and they could go the rest of their
money on Hall , who has many strong sup-
pbrtors among the betting men from the vi
cinity of Now York.
The betting today is 7 to 10 Gibbons ; 11 to
10 , Daly ; Hall , 17 to 20 ; Fitzsimmons , 11) )
to 20.
The Gibbons and Daly parties will arrive
tomorrow morning.

BAY ST. Lotm , La. , March ( > . The resi
dents of this section of the south are nearly
wild over the contest between Hall and Fitz
simmons. Most ail their sympathy and
money are for Fitzaimmons. Ho says that
there seems to bo some doubt about his hav
ing experienced men In his corner.
"I will have to do tho.fightlng , " ho says ,
"and no ono knows how to do it bolter than
myself. "
Ho was told that some people had an iuea
that ho could nht take punishment. To this
he , replied :
"There are a big lot of stiffs who think
that before a man can become a great ooxer
I ho must stand up and got beaten half to
' death. Now , my idea is to give and to get
away from punishment. I like to avoid anything -
thing like n good punch. Hull will got a lick
for every ono he gives. I am going to bo
with him at every stage of the game , and If
1 can help myself his gloves shall never bo
put on mo. "
Ho was asked today how he intended to
fight ; whether he would rush or make a
Corhctt nnd Mitchell affair by getting out
of the way In the first few rounds. Ho said
ho could not tell until ho got into the ring.

Tlin Dlirumtmi.
A largo number of people Interested In the
"purity" petition wcro present last night at
the meeting of the Board of Flro and Police
Commissioners to plead their case. Besides
the gentlemen there for this purpose there
wcro several saloonlsts , gamblers and repre
sentatives of the "burnt district" present ,
all Interested In the discussion and the de
cision.
The matter was brought before the hoard
by the reading by Clerk Brownlco of a com
munication signed by C. A. Starr. Charles
Bird , Kev. M. P. Hellings. P. L. Perino and
J. H. McCiilloch , In which the petitioners
prayed to be hoard before the board decided
what would bo done. Of course the request
was granted.
Judge McCulloch started In. Ho said ho
did not think that the committee which rep
resented the 4.000 signers of the petition
was asking ot the officers of the city except
what they had already agreed to do when
they took the oath of office , namely , to see
that the laws and ordinances were enforced.
"Two weeks ago , " said the Judge , "Chief
Seavoy presented a report hero which I must
say contained many startling facts. I be-
Hove It was a correct and honest report and
that the facts as stated dT > really exist. In
speaking about the lack of convictions in the
courts for violations of the Slocum law , the
chief blames the prosecutors to some extent
and certain other officers of the city who
are cither appointed by this board or by the
mayor. Wo believe thcso things can be
righted in a large measure.
Ilnvc Xot llccll I'lilrly Kpokitn.
"Gambltnt : can bo stopped and the saloons
closed on Sunday if the order is issued. I
am not familiar enough with the situation
to say whether the police can crush out
gambling or suppress the liquor truffle or
drive out prostitutes , hut they can at least
see that the laws are enforced to the best
of the ability of the officials. The
chief needs the support of the board and of
the mayor , and an order coming from such a
source would have a good moral effect.
These petitioners have been mistoprcscntod
by the press and those opposed to this mat
ter since the commencement of this move
ment. Wo have been reported as asking
that the jwlico drive the frail
women out of town. All wo
ask is the enforcement ol the laws. It may
be a hard matter to convict. If so , these
people who have signet1 tins petition have
asked something that is hard to do , but I
believe it can bo done. If Seavoy would
order the gambling houses closed it would bo
obeyed at once. If he can shut up the
licensed houses he ought to be able to shut
them up when not licensed. "
Judge McCulloch then told about Ills
standing at the corner of Fourteenth and
Douglas streets one evening for fifteen
minutes and in that length of time lie de-
cliiPHl that he saw fifty young men go up
into a gambling house near by and he juugcd
that fully twenty of that number were
minors.
Kev. W. 1' . Hellings then addressed the
commission.
As Dr. HollljigK VIoivH It.-
"It strikes me.1' ho said , "as pitiable in
the extreme if this board hesitates for ono
moment as to the. passing of the resolution
now before you. 'You are but'scrvautsof
the people , and not their masters , and we
ask you to pass the resolution and enforce
the laws we request. 1 repudiate the im
putation that wo are fanatics or that wo are
asking what is not right or impossible. It is
not a simple request , but a question of right.
Wo simply ask that the law be
enforced. You have no option. The law
stares you in the face , and you simply con
vict yourselves of dereliction to duty if you
do not follow it. Hesitation on the part of
this board will hurt the city more than any
thing else , or any remark that could bo muda
in any platform. Wo ought not to bo half as
much concerned about the reputation of a
city as the character of It. " Then Dr.
Hellings turned his attention for a few
moments to the press and the reporters. Ho
claimed that from its start his cause had
been misrepresented both in the news col
umns and editorially , and this bo declared
all wrong , because , as ho said , there had
been columns in the paper about the matter ,
but not ono word upholding or advocating
the reform which tie was working for.
During these long talks the members of
the board sat patiently and listened atten
tively. Mayor Bcmis arose and addressing
not only the gentlemen who had spoken , but
the entire committee , said :
Muyor lleinls Mildly I'rotcata.
"First , as regards Judge McCulloclrs state
ment about fifty young men going in a gamb
ling house In fifteen minutes. 1 can hardly
understand It. Wo get reports from our offi
cers about the places and they seldom report
more than fifty people in a house at onetime
time , and that is an exceptionally largo num
ber. Hov. Mr. Hellings calls our attention
to the fact that we arc servants and not
masters. No ono knows that better than I
do. I have worked hard and tried to do my
duty as chief executive of this city , and have
Its Interests at heart. 1 do not think like
B , Fay Mills said , that Omaha was the
wickedest city ho over saw. I have
been around considerable , and I think
Omaha is as well governed as any city iu the
world. "
Hero Judge McCulloch Interrupted and
asked to bo allowed to correct the mayor's
statement about Mr. Mills' remark , and ho
wanted the reporters to get it right and not
misquote him , he said. "I heard Mr. Mills
and he said that 'he had never been in a
place where vice flaunted itself so openly as
here. ' Let us take care of our morals as wo
do our money. "
Continuing the mayor said : "This board
is not afraid to meet any issue the people
may bring up. I will meet every issue like
n man , and am willing to back up with
money any move started to reform the un
fortunates. From what I have heard it
looks to mo as if this purity committee
wants to exterminate every saloon keeper ,
bartender , gambler and prostitute. I think
If you knew moro about this matter you
would bo moro lenient with the unfortunates.
Many of the women who lean lives of slmmo
have been driven to It by starvation wages.
Tlioso women have hearts and souls just as
big as some who live on the hill. I
don't bcliovo the preachers are 'really
nwako to the condition 6f these wome"n. A
young preacher will finish his college course
and the first thing ho generally does is to
cast about for a job with the largest salary
attached and uu aristocratic congregation
and thi'ii , iu many cases , they forgot the
slums.
Miulo n Squnri ) I'ropotltlou ,
"There are 4,000 names In your petition ,
and 1 would like to meet your committee
and talk the matter over and see what can
bo done. Perhaps you can show mo some
plan whereby wo can reform a largo percentage
centago of these fallen women. Instead of
having a ono-horso , weak preacher down in
that locality , you ought to got the biggest
man you can , put up a good building , and
minister to the physical as well as the
moral wants of the unfortunates. Will you
4HX ) people contribute f I or upwards to start
such a reformatory { 1ill head your list
with $1,000 , and later on when I am bctterablo
I will Klvo more. What I want Is something
practical. Wo have to go on a broad gauge ,
big-hearted plan and bo full of brotherly love
In'treating with these people. "
Tlio mayor then read some letters from
chiefs of police iu different cities on the so
cial ovll and saloons , in Milwaukee- sa
loon license costs $200 and at present there
1,575 saloons in operatkjn and , they run all
the time , day and night and Sunday. Dis
orderly houses run openly and are fined
monthly.
Hoy. Mr. Hclllngs replied to the mayor by
saying that he wanted to deny that the
church people wore trying to got away from
i the slum work.
I "Why not take the money they pay in
I fines and build the reformatory you talk
about. Instead of a < kln ? in Christians to pay
for It ! " asked the iHe.
lln Not ( | nut\rnl \ Mtipporl.
Thp discussion then became general amonir
the members of thu-bourd. Mr. Hartman
said hn had given the matter a great deal of
thought nnd had Hi I It ( M with business and
professional men and people who wcro heavy
taxpayers and they were all against the
movement. ni ii
"I am not ready t\i \ > \ \ ' said Mr. Hartman ,
"to fcnco this town In and turn It over to anyone
ono set of people ilid'g"lvo ( ' thorn the keys.
Evils existed before wowore born , and will
continue after wo are dead. I wish the
preachers would RT ( out and get nn
honest expression from business men and
taxpayers , people VvluVhoar the real burdens
of olty government , Gabbling behind closed
doors Is dangerousi'- ' people who employ
men who handle money say so , and so do the
managers of the surety companies who bond
mony of thcso men. Wo must look at this
matter from aibuslncss standpoint as well as
through the eyes of the church. I nm will
ing to assist In any reform that will do any
good. "
Messrs. Cohurii and Smith expressed
themselves In ntxiut the same language and
thought that In comparison with other cities
Omaha was well govcrencd and that the
vices were well regulated.
It was midnight when thu discussion
ended and the matter was laid over for ono
week.
Hev. Mr. Hellings expressed himself to the
effect that the board was only trying to

"Miss Holyctt" ut the Hoyil.
Boyd's now theater was filled last evening -
ing to hear nnd see Lottie Collins render her
own "Tu-ru-ru-Doom-de-ay. " There was an
other item on the program , called "Miss
Hclyett , " but Judging from tlio action of the
uudleneo this merely formed a sort of cur
tain-raiser and after-piece to the act of tlio
lively Lottie. Collins is quite a clover Lon
don music hall "serio-comic , " and on the
other side she used to rank near tlio top of
the "profession" in herdine. She takes her
"turn" in the second act of "Miss Helyett , "
making her appearance about half-past nine
o'clock. She comes on like a whirl wind , taking
the whole stage , her not inattractivo face
smiling amid a cloud of tumultuous crimson
draperies. A crimson skirt and waist , with
old gold facings , a line flaxen wig and a
rikishly demoralized Gainsborough hat.
shoes and stockings to match , make up her
costume. A hush , that to the ear differed
nothing from the sentient silence that at-
U'lidoa Moujoska's last scene in "Mary Stu
art" Saturday evening that the one should
bring to memory the other ! attended the
singing ( ! ) of the first vcrse.but when at the
close of the second verso and chorus she pro
ceeded to throw herself , extremities and
trunk at all angles , around the stage the ap
plause was deafening and eloquent of the
soul-stirring fact that Collins had come , been
seen and had conquered. A triple recall
was the result. How docs she do if ? She
cannot sing ; shodoes notdanco. Her method
lias nothing of the delicate indelicacy of the
Parisian cafe chantc sc , . , There is no real
humor in her constitution and her lines are
not witty. That eirprosMvo word "chic" is
the last word one could Use to characterize
her manner. Collins Is a healthy
looking English > woman , full of
animal spirits , 'and ' . her riotously
lusty abandon , vergjiig.ou the vinous in its
oxhileration , must Vo tlo secret of her pop
ularity. And then nho is a "craze , " for slio
is English , you know . ' '
Ono of the saddest things among the many
tristful things theatrical the critic en
counters in the cour'sp "of a season is to read
on a program the nmo : of David Bclasco as
the author or adapter of " 'Miss Helyott. "
The work from a dramatic view-point is un
speakably bad. Ho k'tyle.4 it ' ' .a comedy , with
music,1' a pleasing phrase ; but the work is
below the level of Hoyt.iind that the author
of "The Wife , " "ThoCharttyBall"and/'Tho
Ugly Duckling" should plac.o himself in a
position that forces unfavorable comparison
with oven the man who writes Ills name as
"author" under "Tlio Hole in the Ground"
Is sad indeed. Can it be that the laic Mr.
da Millo was the real working partner in
that always notable dramatic firm , Belasco
and do Millo { The music is Audran's ,
but there is llttlo in it to par
ticularly praise , and several of the best
numbers musically were badly abused by the
people who had care of them last evening.
Mr. Mark Smith is a rough and ready tenor
and sang his first song , "To Paint a Picture , "
with fair success , and In the suggestive
sketch duet , "That Dainty Silken Stocking , "
with Mr. March , In the second act , ono of the
"taking" features of tlio work , did excel
lently. The finale of the second act , too , is
a quite clever piece of concerted work.
In "Tho Ugly Duckling" Mrs , Ijcslle-Carter
two years ago surprised the critics and the
public by her excellent acting. The writer
saw her thirteenth performance "on any
stage , " and it modified several of his ideas
on histrionicartandthedlfllculties attending
its acquirement. In "Miss Holyctt" Mrs.
Loslio-Carter shows retrogression ; she Is
positively amateurish and weak. She
lias a pleasing soprano , but it is no
bettor than that of the1 hundreds of
girls who please their friends at pri
vate parties or rural church socials ,
and at the theater moro is demanded.
Charity forbids individual mention of the
company , though Mr. Herbert makes ns
much of the Quaker as the book allows htm
to. That admirnblo European institution ,
the hiss , is not in vogue iu Oma-lia , except
for the deep , double-dyed villain of melo
drama , when It Is complimentary , but It
might have been less embarrassing , nnd cer
tainly had full justification for being , than
the condemnatory silence that followed most
of the features of "Miss Helyott" last even
ing. ' _
At thu ninu. |
The now program which was presented at
Wonderland and Bijou theater ycstor-
promises to draw largo crowds during
the week. The drama , although an
old one , is oahvays plcaser. It Is
"Under the Gaslight , " and tells In n
realistic manner of the crimes of a great
city like New York. The first per
formance was very creditable , but for the
rest of the week an improvement may bo ex
pected. as first show invariably run 'n bit
ragged. The scenic effects are fine , noticeably -
ably tlio Now York dock scene , and the
lightning express scene , in which a train of
cars dashes arross the stage.
The specialty program also Is excellent. In
troducing Madeline and Wheeler , a clever
sketch team , in" songs , dances , etc. Smith
and Fuller are the hest inuslenl team who
have appeared In Omaha , and the great Bra
zil and Alton , the acrobats , in a phenomenal
brother act. Every Ihdy' visitor this week
receives a handsonun trlpplo-plated table

roll call of the senate shows forty-fourdcmo-

one independent and ono farmers alliance
and three vacancies. The vacancies are one
each 111 Montana , Washington and Wyoming.
Should republicans eventually fill all of these
vacancies , which can scarcely bo the case in
view of Uoekwlth's appointment in Wyoming ,
it would give them forty-one. Should the
third iiarty senators then all vote with the
republicans ( a most unlikely supposition )
the senate would still bo a tie , with Vice
President Stevenson homing the controlling
vote.

WASHINGTON , D. C. , March ( ! . Today in con
sidering thoease of Mr. Martin of Kansas , the
caucus of republican senators decided that
the question whether Mr. Martin's seat
should or should not be contested was ono
that must be decided by the republicans of
Kansas. If they insist upon an investigation
into the matter the republicans will conduct
such an inquiry in the senate ; but on the
other hand , if the members of the party in
Kansas are content , no other steps will betaken
taken in the senate.
It Is the general opinion that before the

full organization will be effected and the
