The question recurred on Pope's amend ment , but North Interposed an amendment , providing that senate Illo No. 17 bo also con- nldcrcd in committee of the whole. Senate Jllo No , 17 was one of the favorite bills of the Independents and they have vainly tried on several occasions to bring It up , but they wcro not at all anxious to consider it today.

Senator Moore demanded a call of the house and the roll call showed that all sena tors wcro present with the exception of Senator Thomson. A warrant was issued and placed in the hands of the scrgcant-at- nrins , but before ho left in quest of the ab sent senator the call was suspended and the senate went Into committee of the whole with Senator North in the chair. The clerk commenced to read the long bill nnd after he had proceeded ten or llftecn minutes Harris moved that the reading bo suspended.

On the vote the chair held that Mullen's amendment had carried. Senator Pope excitedly demanded that the vote bo taken over again. Chairman North ordered the vote taken again , nnd with a sheepish smile spreading over his countenance announced that the recount showed the amendment lost. The satisfaction on the republican ! side of the house was short'llvcd , for North was a mo ment later compelled to announce that Pope's motion that the committee rise had failed to carry. Snnator Lobcek's amendment was then agreed to , and the reading proceeded for another live minutes. Then Mattes tried his hand at dissolving the committee. Mullen followed him ur > with his former amendment. Mullen's amendment was lost by a vote of IB to 14.

This time the effort was a success. Hgglcston's con ference with Chairman North bore fruit , for Mullen's usual amendment was lost and the vote on Moore's motion resulted in a tie.

Lieutenant Governor Majors took the chair nnd then followed a scene which has never boon equalo d on the floor of the senate , and only equaled in the house by the exciting scenes two years ago. Senator Tofft moved that the report of the committee of the whole batidopted. Senator IXilo amended with a call of the house , but the lieutenant governor put Tout's motion to the senate. Tno nfllrma- Uvo vote had been taken whon.n dozen inde pendent senators sprang to their feet. Some of them demanded tlio yeas nnd nays on Tofft's motion , while others Insisted on a call of the huuso. Again the lieutenant governor ignored the demands for a call of the house and ordered the secretary to call the roll. The roll call proceeded , but the voice of the secretary as ho called the names of the senators was lost In the stentorian demands of Dale , Stewart , Mullen , O.vsurt and others for a call of the houso. Tlio confusion became so great that the secretary was obliged to suspend the roll call. Confusion Confouiiiloil.

Pounding vigorously on his desk with the gavel , Majors peremptorily ordered Dysart to sit down and bo In order. In an equally linn tone of voice ho ordered the secretary to proceed with the roll call. Kor a moment . quiet was partially restored and tno roll call was completed. Then and not until the re sult of the ballot had been placed In his hands did the lieutenant governor recognl/o Senator Dale's demand for a call of the houso. Senators Thomson nnd Clarke were the absentees , and as soon us the warrants for their attendance had been placed In the hands of the sergoant-at-arms the doors worn locked. This was at OiW o'clock. As the time wore away It became evident that the senate was destined to remain In session until Senator Thomson could be brought from Fremont , whither ho had been railed by the death of hit mother.

SUBURBAN LAMPS CONTRACT SUSTAINED .MuyorViintin City Hull I'OpnnliiR" Oprrn School deli City Hull ( JimrtcrH-Ntnv Impoctnn Street Clnin- Ing Ordered. A majority of the council decided nt the meeting last night that u test of the tire street lights furnished the city by the Thomson-Houston company is not desired , notwithstanding the universal demand for a substantiation of the oft repeated charges that the city Is paying for 2,000-candlo power lights when In fact tliu power will not reg ister to exceed one-half that. This was brought about by u proposition to provide the electrician with u photometer for the registering of the power of the arc lights. Chairman Edwards of the committee on gas and electric light offered a resolution Instructing the comptroller and electrician to purchase u list of Instruments needed , at a cost not to exceed $ tioo. : The photometer was not Included In the list , and when this fact was made known some of the councilmen - men were desirous of ascertaining why. They ascertained soon enough , and also found out that Mr. Wiley's Iriends In the council wcro as numerous as ever. Mr. Steel , who signed the report with Mr. Edwards , suggested that the "Nty already had a photometer , but lie neglected to men tion that It was not intended for reading arc lights and would register but a few candle power. Kxport ToHtlinony. Electrician Cowglll was called upon and said that the candle power of an arc light can only bo registered by a photometer and believed that was the only correct test. lid ward AVeston , the most eminent elec trician in this country , has said that such is the case and that the reading will como within 1 percent of accuracy. Mr. Munro wanted a photometer added to the list of instruments for the city elec trician and made a motion to that effect. Ho was seconded by Mr. Elsasser , Mr. Jaeobson , Mr. Specht and Mr. Brunei1 , all of whom be lieved that the testing of the arc lights was ono of the most important duties of the electrician. The opposition didn't want anything of the kind , and Mr. Steel offered a resolution that the different companies having photom eters bring thorn hero and. after a test has been mado. if they are found to read cor rectly the candle power of nn lire light , the city may purchase one. This proposition re ceived the support of Mr. Edwards , Mr. Wheeler and Mr. Howell. Mr. Munro suggested that the proposition was childlike. A photometer will cost about JlfiO , and to think that any company would bring ono to Omaha and run the chances of disposing of the instrument was foolish. It Is guaranteed to read accurately within 1 per cent , and an expert would place it in working order. After prolonged discussion the Steel reso lution was adopted by the following vote : Yeas. Hack , Edwards , Howell. Parlcor , Prince , Steel , Wheeler and Bechol 8 ; nays , Bruner , Elsasser , Jaeobson , MeAndrews , Munro , Specht and Thomas 7. Suburbs Will IInvo Light. The mayor sent in a veto of the contract with the Sun Vapor Street Light company , because it fails to provide for a proper test of tbo power of the lights , but the contract was sustained over the veto by a vote of 1U to 2. 2.Tho The following communication from the mayor was referred to the committee on public property and buildings with power to act : Afler the delay of more than a year there now oxlstrt a pro-pi'ft of Hie completion of the marble work In Ihu rotunda of tliu clly hall. With llin raining of sprln ; llio weather will probably bo snlllclently mild lojustify the [ admission of a little pure air at the front en trance , which so long has been disfigured with a roiixh board partition. I recommend thill without unnecessary delay thl < board part It lop bo removed anil the debris about the entrance and In the rotunda bo cleaned up and re moved. I alsosuggest : and recommend that a time bo llxed for a public opening of the city hall and all citizens bo Invited to hitch open ing , which I suggest should bo from H o'clock until 11 o'clock In the evening. I further xiig- ge.st ami recommend lhat nn the occasion of such opening the heads of the several depart ments and the olllclals of the city bo present diiriiiKsuch hours to receive and entertain visitors. In view of the fact that the elly hall Is the property of the citizens , for which llio taxpayers will be required to contrlbiilo about J500.000 , it would seem hut proper that some action .such as Is .suirscsted should bo taken. Miss C. Tcnnant Clary was granted the use of the large southwest room and the smaller ono adjoining on the north on the Ilfth floor of the city hall for the purpose of holding the Omaha Operatic festival school. The Board of Education was given the use of the largo southwest room on the Ilfth lloor of tlio city hall until Us new quarters are ready for occupancy. Inspectors of Public Works.
