No Minimum Unto No Clmrtor , This morning when the report came up Habcock moved that It bo adopted and the charter advanced to third reading. This motions aroused the Independents , and In an excited manner Dysnrt took the floor and uncovered the plans of the populists. Ho Btatcd that the maximum rate bill had been jrnsscd by the house and was ready to come to the senate. The Indeiwndents had no ob jections to the Omaha charter , but they would insist that after the charter measure the maximum rate bill should be considered Jf OHO was to be advanced to third reading without action of the commltteo oS the whole the other should Mo treated in the same way. IJo claimed that , although Omaha was a big town , the Interests of Nebraska were greater than these of Omaha. The Independents had tle-cidcd to hold up the charter until the re- imbliinns agreed to assist them in placing the maximum rate bill on its third reading. U'hey had the strength to do this , because it would takoa two-thirds vote to take a bill | from Us place on the general file. 7 Httitnpcd tin ) DOUR ! " * SnimtiirM. The discussion which followed was lengthy nnd animated. Tno two senators from Doug las county were confronted with n responsi bility they had not expected to bo called .Upon to assume , and both maelo strenuous Ir.fforts to secure favorable ) action on the charter without expressing their intentions in regard to the maximum freight rate bill. ' Lobeck made an earnest appeal to the In dependents to treat Omaha with justice nnd fairness. Ho asserted that he was will- Jug to do what wns right on the railroad bill nnd asserted that ho was ready to vote on Jhat bill. Ho insisted that the Independents ntuncl up to the raclc and do their duty , as lie was willing to do his. Babeoek explained that the failure of the thartcr would work an Irreparable Injury to the city of Omaha. Its failure would put a htop to all works of improvement.

The nrgu- incnts of the two Douglas county senators Jiael a toiling effect on the minds of the inde pendent senators. Johnson said that ho had icen promised by republican senators that the independents should receive fair treat ment when they wanted it to advance the jiiaxlmum rate bill. Gray was still inclined to hold out. Ho also read an editorial from .tTim BUB of this morning in which republican senators were admonished to do their duty I nud assist in the passage of the maximum freight rate bill. i Advanced to Third ltriullll . r Finally , at a few minutes before noon , a Vote was reached.

[ Corrcsiuindenco of Tun BIH. : ] If Melrosu abbey , the Mecca of all American tourists in Scotland , furnishes examples of , art nearly as bewitching as the most delicate expressions of nature Itself , Dry burgh abbey , but four miles distant down the Tweed , holds and fascinates the wan derer with a far more tender and subtle charm. The founding of Dryburgh is of remoter antiquity than even that of the original Culdeu house of Old Mclroso. Before the advent of Christian mission aries the place was resorted to by the Drulels for the celebration of their mystic rites as D.iraqhbrauch or burgh , "tho bank-cluster of sacred oaks , " Dryburgh's Celtic name , im plies. Modan , a Culdeo presbyter , set up the first Christian establishment of Dry- burgh In-GSa. For C3S years thereafter Its history is insignificant. The monks from Alnwick , under the patronage of Sir Hugh do Morvillo , constable of Scotland under King David I. , founded hero a Promonstrn- tentian-abbey of spIendlcV dimensions. This was burned along with Melrose abbey by Edward II. and restored by aid granted by King Kobcrt tlu Bruce. Twice , in 1:135 : and 1R.M , it was pillaged and devastated by the English. The reforma tion ot doughty John Knox sixteen years later did the rest. The ruins of Dryburgh abbey show that the walls of the completed edifice stood on different levels , and that the structure illustrated at least four different styles of architecture. This is seen in the massive Koman arch with its ample , square sides ; the deep splayed and always impres sive Saxon arch , anel the early English pointed arch. The church was originally in the form of a cross with short transepts , nnd a small but exquisitely decorated choir , while the } interior was divided by light and graceful colonnades into u central space and side aisles. Of the transepts a portion of but one , the north , called St. Mary's aisle , is still stand ing ; but there is a no more beautiful speci men of the early Gothic to bo found in Scotland than in this , the solemn and se cluded burial place of Scotia's greatest mins trel , the noble author of "Wavcrloy. " Ttio chapter house , a tiny chapel of St. Modan anel a Norman arch which formed the western doorway are yet standing. A stately yew , over 800 years old , casts its somber shade upon the lawn , opposite where once the abbots sat at their casements to mock the huge pllo of stone as it crumbles into the earth. You feel more than you can see at Dry burgh. The whole place is instinct with re pose. The horizon is close , not a half-mile mile away in any direction. It is fringed with the boughs and verdure of sheltering trees , save where , far to the south , the weird Eildon hills of wizard renown peer down from nbovo their cloud-mists into the sunny copse. The Tweed , moving in silence for miles above , circling hero sweeps wide anel grandly over gleaming shallows and sings its endless song just at the end of the olden abbey grounds. You come to the place through a hushed and silent avenue , ankle elecp in the spring time with hawthorn blossoms white us snow. In the graying days their place is filled by the browns anel puces of rustling drift from the beech , elm anel sycamore. Only the lodge-keeper's habitation reminds of earthly activities. Nature alone holds sway. Bloom and birds , grasses and vines , odor and song , russet walls and emerald masses of moss , oriels of ivy , fillets of vines , pointed arches of roses , towers of trees leaping from the old walls themselves , reach the cyo and sense tciieterly , slumbcrously , pulsing with hush and bairn. Melrose oxalts. Dryburgh soothes. The entire spot is ruin merged into Elysium , hal lowed by ono humble grave. And so sweet and hushed is all that oven your reverence for the ever silent disappears ; for you feel that your mighty friend lies hero as on the bosom of the land ho so loved anel Immortal ized and that Scott only sleeps while sweetly all nature songs to him are sung. The cafes and fondas ( or eating houses , for the latter are equally resorted to ) are the resting places of the gay city of Havana. Their number anel patronage are remarkable. They are all wide open to the street , the year round. One fancies they are almost a part of it , as frequently more titan one-half the cafe is underneath long , wide , huge-pillared porticos. Hero chattering crowds by day ami brilliant crowds by night under the Hare of lamps In great , century-old metal frames , never cease cigarette smoking , gin and wino drinking ; although all. liquors , however frequently ordered , are "used In sparing quantities. And between the shrill cries of the dulceros or confection peddlers , the hoarse importunities of the lottery ticket mobs , the over minor music of the wandering street minstrels and the number less sounds of n mtirvelously gay but never brutal and more than half oriental city life , the "click , click , click i" of the universal and novcr silent dominoes upon the marble tables , come to you as an understood staccato of myrioels of unseen castinots. If your own wanderings overload you to Gibraltar , to Barcelona or to Marseilles upon the Mediterranean coast , do not fail to engage passage in ono of the pretty steam ers which ply between this city and the slumberous port of Palma in the little Span ish isle of Mujorica. It is qunintur than Spain , more Moorish than Algiers , and its pleasant folk are the most hospitable in all the world. A visit to its half ruined ancient monastery of Valdemusa and the wild anel marvelous north coast scenery are alone worth a trip to tliu island. With as magnificent and far more classic surroundings as these of A'allombrosa in Italy , a mountain chasm is bridged by the ancient pile in so extraordinary and pictur esque a way as to seem at a distance like a gray old cloud-kissed nest that has for ages defied decay and the battling of the aerial tempots there. But the gray of real decay is upon all things ut Valdemusa ; In the gray old church and endless cells and cloisters ; in the gray old houses that nestle along the mountain side beneath it ; and in the gray olel folk that haunt the spot like wraiths of these who once were there. An indescribable sadness lingers about this splendid Majoricaii rolio of monkish times and days. The rich of Palma come hero in summer and live a gay mock-conventual life. Ge-orgo Sand , half u century ago , passed the most dolorous winter of her life within thcso walls.- With her was Chopin , Perhaps within thr.so very cloisters was born the wild and inexpressible melancholy of the melodic creations of the master's later life. To mo Valdemusa will remain more a memory of these two strange , sad souls , than merely a crumbling , deserted and majestic monastic relic upon the island mountains. I have passed the greater portion of the last seven years among the peasantry of Europe ) . Not only has tills association been with the lowly upon the road bcsldo their shrine's ; at public fountains where the backbreaking - breaking loads tire drawn ; among the men and maid servants of great hotels and llttlo inns ; with the veriest clods in fields and vineyards ; among the shepherds of the mountains and plains : and with this manner of folk from the cabins of Shetland to the huts of Apulia Into which shines the sun from across the Ionian sea ; nnd I think that the honest thing to bosald about thcso people Is Unit there is general content among them. It is dlltlcult for Americans to understand this , for it is inconceivable to us how wo could bo thus contented. When you got close to the European peasant you will find that it Is equally as difficult for nlm to con- I'i'iyo of any other condition than that iu which he exists. To illustrate. In any half hour's rldo by rail through Bavarian valleys you are certain to whiz. past some pretty nold-lano and see a Bavarian peasant driving a cart to which nro a llttlo holfor and a coarse woman. As they stop near your pass ing train , you will notice that the holfor Is the only animal chafing under Its yoke , for the woman looks up and smiles anel the mitlo removes his pipe for a hearty laugh. 1 hey nro simple , childish folk , ono and till , content In their severe labor ; satisfied with their , to us , nlgguidly recompense ; lovinis ViVryeaLrth th ° ydiK with unutterable ! affectionj huppy in the fe > v holiday * the year brings about ; iatlcnt under the tithing of king and church whllo proud that the ono protcctHand the other shrives : and nulte radiant , nt the end , to Iny aside th3 working clothe- the sodden days behind for the promised finery of the eternal holiday be yond. Nowhere else in Kuropo can be seen such n variety and wealth of roadside shrines as In Austrian Gallela. In the B.tXH ) or ! ) , ( KX ) miles of its great stone roads a huge wooden or stone crucifix , or a tiny brick orstonoshrlnc , may bo found on the average nt the distance of every half an English mllo. Most of the crucillxcs nro of wood hewn out of beech or oaken logs , Whether ot wood or stone , as if from some great burden , everyone loansnml this very leaning lends a strangely sugges tive sadness and loneliness to the landscape. They nro most frequent in districts near est the Carpathians which form the Hun garian boundary. The UUthenlan peasants being of Husslan stock tire all Greek Catho lics , and the 1'ollsh Qalacians tire without exception Komnti Catholics. They are equally pious , and you can novcr pass crucifix or shrine without witnessing a group of botli in rapt devotion , many of whom tire grovel ing prostrate upon the earth before the sacred reminders of Calvary. At Whitsun tide ono will see crowds of these simple and pious devotees crawling upon all fours , whllo trailing huge wooden crosses from their necks and shoulders , around every roadside shrine in all Galfelu. After one gets over the first Hush of re bellious resentment tit the system , there Is a good deal of grim humor to bo got out of ton- : tlnontul railway travel. You will find the same lltllo carriages as in England , compris ing from four to six compartments , each holding eight people in the first and second , and ten persons In the third class compart ments. In Bavaria thuro are os'en fourth class cars , or carriage's , principally for use In time of war. They are all marked : "To contain ten horses or thirty-six men. " Except in Franco , Italy and Spain , the service is iibonl equal lo that In England. Ono has personally to see his luggage in tlur luggage van , and not only give trinkgeld or pourboir to have it labeled but to have it put on board. While the monarch of the train , the guard , cannot lake money for a faro , ho would accept a bribe from anybody for any service ; and oven an olllcerof the line thinks it quite the proper thing to pay tribute to the guard , should ho de'siro to occupy tin en tire compartment. The guarel bribery is universal. I recently saw a train of thirteen carriages capable of accommodating 450 people move out cf Co logne with but thirty-sovrn passengers , who had in this manner purchased almost exclu sive compartment accommodations , upwards of 100 persons ha vine been left behind at the station. The most serious opposition to the general introduction of modern sleeping couches for night service comes from these bribers and bribed. A live-mark or a five- franc piece , or less , slipped into the hand of a night train's guard will secure an entire compartment , or an entire side of ono , for your individual use , and is far preferable tea a berth in the vile litllo four-compartment sleeping coach which has lately crept into service , where the guard , conductor and porter in one insists at all hours of tbo night on your purchase of bad viands and worse wines. In Germany will be found the most grotesque ofliclallsm , but the best coaches and the prettiest railway stations in all the world. The government wholly conducts all German railway lines. Every employe , even the waiters at the station dining rooms , 1ms been a German soldier and the entire regime is military. Each stallon has a captain in a red cap and gorgeous uniform. The station guards and porters are also uni formed , with dark blue caps. When a train halts the captain and his station guards will bo founel drawn up in line in front of the main entrance. The train guard alights and salutes the station captain , who with his men return this salute , when the loading and unloading of luggage is begun. As far as" convenience of arrangement , cleanliness and comfort nro concerned , the German railway station is immeasurably superior to the olel board hovels called depots along most American lines. They are invariably models of neatness , tidiness and comfort. They tire not infrequently the prettiest structures to bo seen during an entire day's travel. They always have a lovely bit of lawn about thbm , In which are often fountains'llowers and tidy hedges. Many are covered by ivy or creeping and flowering vines. Flowers in windows and in lawn plats are always in view of the tired passengers. And nearly all are supplied with chimes of bells ; not clanging , jangling , wrangling bells , but voicoful , melodic bolls , which when the train guard has taken a whistle from his belt , blown upon it thrice aud again saluted the station master and men seem to say as you move away : Well good by 1 Then good by 1 Friends good by ! In Iho brief trip across Cuba by rail the traveler is furnished abundant material for observation and reflection. Wherever your train may halt , In pours n dismal troop of beggars , lottery ticket sellers , dulceros , with all manner of sickening sweets of which the Cuban ladies buy freely and eat vera iously , and peddlers of glow worms anel beetles , guava , green cocoanuts and Jrosh cheese similar to the German scheorkaso. If ono alights for refreshment another savage herd of "eros" with all sorts of edibles and rofescas are to bo battled with ; and if a meal at n cafe is taken you are uu- blushlngly charged with from $1 to § 3 in gold. But all these annoyances are as naught when ono considers the glorious tropical panorama provided in this trip across the island. The loneliness of the northern coastwise country disappears on leaving Matan/as and of u sudden your train is whirling through a veritable nature's garden. Great orange groves are as common as pine woods InMaine. . Vast pineapple plantations fill the space between. Hero the view sweeps across river , valley and vast reaches of cane grounds , the .last -cutllngs being hurried to the massive and groaning machinery with the splendid villas behind , the whole surrounded by" stately cocoa trees and the lordly palm. There , for miles , stretches another valley , a plain of puce anel yellow where the ' 'last cut" of tobacco Is being piled by the operarios upon the cujes or curing racks , or carried from these before the dew falls at li o'clock ; to the great casas do tubacis , where are other noble houses , palms and fruits and flowers untenable. Hero and there are ranches and herds like the shining-horned hosts of Camaguuy , with mounted vanqueros and monteros and their wonderful dogs , in pic turesque groups , with the great palmotto- pallisadod corralles for the uround-ups" and again by these porticoed houses and qulntas , like palaces. Upon every stream , at the mouth of flower- embedded canons , or sot like brofrn gypsies upon mountain side , are the poor guajlros' palm-thatched cabins. And everywhere are such luxuriance in soil and forest- , vine aud llower , that when you reach the splendid city of Cienfuegos as the shadows . fall , and the moonbeams begin lo dunce upon Us matchless bay , ono fools as though Iho day had been a vision of some dreamland isle where Iho weird in men and Iho glowing in nature have blended in magical spell with indescribable bloom and song.

The coffers of the United States mint hold the largest amount of bar sliver over stored in ono mint in the United Stales. The quantity of 101- 000,000 ounces , or fully enough with the usual alloy to make no less than 150,000,000 silver dollars. The vaultago of Iho mint is said to bo unexcclcd in this country , yet the steel-walled treasury holders are filled to oversowing and the bullion Is being reeplved .from the government nt the rate of fl,800',000 ounces a month. Besides tills amount there ) are in the separate vaults < flO,0x > , ( XX ) in coined silver. The seal on the door has not been broken for two years. All the avail able storage having been utilized , It has been found necessary to have another stpol lined vault constructeel for the solo purpose of storing the bullion. The now vault is about ten feet from the lloor to the celling , about eight feet wldo and thirty- llvo feet long. It wns completed yesterday , and it will bo Illleu on Monday with silver plied clear up to the ceiling. This now storage vault will contain about 20XXKX ( ) ) ounces , and nt the rate It is coming in It will bo filled within loss than six months. The construction of another of these Immcnso slorago places for sllvpc Is.n necessity if the purchase of silver continues. This condition of affairs is far beyond all precedent In the history of the mini. 1'ro- vlous lo 18UO it was a rare event to have stored within the walls of the mlutmoro than a muglo 1,000,000 ounces of bullion. SCHOOL JANITORS ESCAPE H : , i t f rt > f Another Effort to' Hoduco Their Salaries Wns Throttled. MR. BURGESS SPRUNG A LITTLE SCHEME Hut It Did Not HV rk Appraprlntlntift for Grading ninl Nnw School Another Ulnceiftftlon or the r t'jiUulnit. The Hoard of Education seems to bo In a pcweillar box. It has been conccedcd by nearly alt tbo members that the present schedule of Janitors * salaries Is extravagant In ocomparlson with that paid for similar services in other cities of similar size , nnct yet about half the members of the board seem to bo afraid to mike : nu aggressive move in the direction of reduction. Alter ( i sort of monkey anil parrot time over the matter for half an hour last night the whole business was postponed until the next regular meeting. Vice President Akin presided , and Senator W. N. Habcock was present for the llrsttimo since the legislature began the present ses sion. sion.Mr. Mr. Klgutter 'presented some estimates on the school houses in course of construction. Ho said the contractors building the Saratoga school were ontitle.l to a payment of S707 , and the ran- tractors putting up the West Omaha build ing were entitled to $ } , W . Ho offered a resolution that these amounts bo allowed , which was adopted. Mr. Smyth of the committee on Judic iary submitted a report upon the request of the c ity council calling for the re funding of n part of the expressmen's license funds onaccount of a change in the ordinance reducing the license. It was the opinion of the Judiciary exmimlt- tee that the ( ward had no legal right to divert the funds arising from expressmen's licenses for the purpose of paying back a part of the funds collected immediately prior to the passage of the ordinance reducing the annual license from $10 to $5. The matter was laid over. Now School liullillngii , Mr. Elirutter of the committee on build ings and property recommended that the grading of the Hickory site bo let to F. G. Jaeltson & Bros , at llj.f cents per cubio yard. The grading will cost about $2,585 , us there arc 3,000 cubic yards of earth to bo removed to get them down to grade. One of the deepest cuts in Omaha is that on Sixth street where it crosses Hickory , and the Hicliory school is Iscated at the intersection of these two streets. The report of the com mittee was adopted. The committee also recommended that the old buildings be removed and that the archi tect be instructed to ilraw plans for an eight-room building on the Hickory street site. Adopted. The board decided to purchase two lots diagonally across the street from the present Long school site nt' 0,000. Upon these lots the now Long school .will . bo erected. The architect WHS instructed to prepare plans and specilicrttitfus for the now Ixmg school house , which Will bo an eight-room building. I The committee on .buildings and property recommended that the contractors on the Central school be' , , given permission to sub stitute the best quality of Lake Superior brown stone for the Colorado sand stone for the reason that tHe Colorado sand stone cannot be procure ) ] without considerable de lay. The recommendation was adopted. Tlio board then took another twist at the rules which havo'ba'cn ' ' in half-baked , a - con dition for a month ormore. The section pertaining to Janitors' salaries came in for a full Sh.ai'0 of discussion. Dlsousslli tjaiillors1 Sillurliis. Mr. Burgess , chairman of the committee on rules , read a proposed schedule which lie said had boon suUlCftUcet by-Mr. FJguttor. Mr. nurgoaa did riqt submit this schedule as a report or a recommendation from the committee. Ho said ho was opposed to this schedule. , but in ordey to got it before the board lie moved its adoption. Mr. Smyth called Mr. Burgess down by asking him why he submitted a schedule that not of the committee's was a part re port. "As I understand it , " said Mr. Smyth , "tho chairman of the committee on rules is now supposed to bo reading a report of his committee , and if this schedule is not a part of the report then ho iias no right to present it at this time , " It really looked as though Mr. Burgess was desirous of dragging in the now schedule simply to get it killed off. The president held that Mr. Smith's ob jection was well taken. If It were not a part of the committee's report the chairman certainly had no right to present it while reading the report. Dr. Duryca said the proposed schedule had novcr been before the committee on rules and it could not , therefore , bo a part of the committee's report. Sly Mr. HurgcsH Has Another. Seeing that ho could not got the Elgutter schedule oeforo the hoard to bo slaughtered , Mr. Burgess withdrew his motion and said his report was ended. Ho then offered a resolution to adopt another schedule of Janitors' sal aries , which ho read. He said it would save about $5,000 , as against the present. It was a split between the old schedule and that proposed by Mr. Elgutter , for the latter would save about ? 9,000 per annum. A pretty light was sprung right hero. Five members of the board seemed to bo in favor of the Burgess schedule , and live were op posed to passing upon the matter without further consideration. It was moved to refer the proposed schedule to the committee on rules. This was opposed by the friends of the Burgess schedule. They wanted the matter settled then and there. Mr. Smyth hold that under the rules the mattcrmustlayoveratleasttwoweeks. The motion to refer failed , and after some fur ther discussion President Akin declared ttie resolution introduced by Mr. Burguss out of order. The board adjourned with the wage ques tion still hanging in the balance , and the Janitors arc therefore still on the anxious seat. AUK llKlllXn TIIK JUItH.

"I am not opposed to cleaning the alloys by any means , but t protest against putting the entire force of the street commissioner at this work while the main streets are in the disgraceful condition that they are at present.

The water and mud on the south end of the Tenth street viaduct make it almost impos sible for a man to get to the cable or motor cars without having to walk half way tbo length of the viaduct. The mud has not been cleaned from the viaduct all winter , although I have called the attention of the authorities , from the mayor down , to the matter more than once.
