The presiding ofilccr of the senate had Just left his private room to take his scat In the chair , and seeing the senator from Nuckolls nt his desk walked around that way to sco If lie couldn't smooth over the ill feeling caused by the occurrcnc'j of yesterday afternoon.

"I thought you wcro a gentleman , " re- mariccd Majors. "I am , " retorted Dysart , "but you are not. and that Is why 1 decline to have anything to do with you. " "I see by Tun HEB that you Intended to lilt mo yesterday , " said Majors , taking anew now tack. "It was probably a fake. " "No , it was not a fake , " replied the sena tor from Nuckolls.

Majors declared that ho had never been pulled out yet and was not any slouch when it came to a free-for-all scrap. Dysart intimated that ho was a few pump kins himself at that kind of business. He. said that ho was W ) years old and had been in half a dozen as husky fracases as over bloomed on earth and ho had yet to receive his llrst licking. "Why , d you , " lie added , "If you try anything of that kind you will bo knocKcd out of that chair if I have to do it myself. " The talk was heard by several persons Rtandlng near the gate , although it was not loud cnoueli to attract the attention of all In the senate chamber. The lieutenant governor found that for once his little scheme of abusing opposition senators from the chair and tticn smoothing It over- privately did not work. IN TIIK SKXATI ! .

Today's proceedings In the senate had but little Interest for the visitor , and Iho deliberations - liberations wcro painfully sedate as com pared with thooxciting and turbulent scenes of yesterday afternoon. As soon as the read ing of the journal had bcqti completed , a largo batch of committee reports were placed in the secretary's hands. Something of a debate occurred over the recommendation of the committee on constitutional amendments that snnato flics Nos. 182 and 141 ! , both look ing to the election of Uuited States senators by a direct vote of Iho people , bo advanced to third reading. Senator Tofft opposed the report. Ho failed to understand , ho said , why so many of the senators assumed that the people wcro demanding the election of United States senators by u direct vote. The present system had given to the United States a body of men who had no superior on earth. Ho did not believe that the nomi nation of United States senators by. political conventions would bo good policy. Senator Corroll replied to Teftt's remarks with considerable sitirit. Senators Darner and Stewart also spoke In favor of the report , and when tno debates closed the recommendation of the committee was adopted. riiHhliiR Tholr III1U Forward. Reports were then received from standing committees on a largo number of bills. When senate file No. 143 was reported , Senator Campbell moved as an amendment that the bill bo ordered engrossed for a third reading.

The senate took a recess until after din ner and the work of advancing bills on the third reading was renewed with Increased vigor. For an hour or so It looked as if there was to bo little left of the general lilo and that the engrossing clerks wcro to be swamped with an. accumulation of busi ness. Undid I In Work. Finally at 4 o'clock Senator Dale shut olT the flood of amendments by moving the pre vious question. Then the senate in a moment undid all the work of the whole day's session by rejecting in a lump the amcn 'iicnt orig inally mudo by Senator Campbell In the fora- noon , and this action carried down with it all the amendments lo the amendment. Senator Dale then moved that the senate po Into committee of the whole lo con sider the World's fair bill with the express agreement that house roll No. 113 wns not to lose Us place.

The special order occupied the attenlion of the house for an hour and a half. Some amendments were offered , but before the consideration of the bill was completed ihe committee rose to receive the report of the committee on cities and towns.

From the indications at the beginning of the roll call Iho chances that the bill would receive a dozen votes were decidedly slim , but when it was completed and several members who thouula it was defeated any way had changed their votes , It showed up with llfty-two votes , or o.io moro than the number necessary to pass it. Considerable was said during the roll call about the fact tnat the bill did not make an exception In the case of iivo stock shippers , and when they realised that it had passed they at once moved lo re commit it for that correction. Some of these who hud voted for it were mad enough to get out of it in that way , and it was so or dered without the vole being announced. Fclton , In explaining his vote , said that ho pledged himself before being elected not to accept n pass or ho would have probably done so. Inasmuch as railroad mau-igcrs had teslillcd that between one-fifth and one- tenth of their passenger business was dead head , he thought the bill was all right , and ho voted for it. Newborry offered in explanation of his vote that it was duo to railroads to pass the bill , to offset the maximum rate bill by cutting off tno lot of deadheads whom the roads were carrying free. Sodorman likewise insisted that it was doing the roads a kindness lo pass thu bill. Woods insisted on knowing before bo cast his vote whether or not there was an emer gency clause to the bill , and when assured that there was not , voted for it amid shouts of laughter. Casper voted for It because ho had been to democratic conventions which were run by men who went there on passes , and us ho objected lo having that kind of cattle dic tate the politics of the convcntlonsho wauled to see a change. Burns insisted that ono man who shipped was just as much entitled lo a pass as an other , and ho was opposed to the bill. Ho was questioned by Elder as to who were carrying passes , and replied that ho wits and didn't earo who know it. Ho then wanted to know of Klder whether the gentleman from Clay had a pass , and the latier replied with a great deal of energy , " 1 want to say lo Iho gentleman that I hai'nt got no passes on no railroads. " This negatlve-afllrmatlvo denial of iho Im- pututloti was balled by the house with a shout of applause. Iliiw They Voted.

Thntvns to establish nnil maintain the largest nitd the most complete retail dry goods house west of Chicngo. The object tins been stondlly kept In view , nml today the nnino of N. U. Knlconer him become - como a household word , not only In this city , but throughout the whole of Nobmakn ami western Town us well. His reputation has been established , and the house hna few rivals. Long years npo Falconer's spring openings bccamo fmuous , as they drew out the people and guru thum correct Ideas of the latest styles lu the fashion centers on both sides of the ocean. From the time when ho tlrst camu to this city ho made It a point to Intro duce the Paris and Ix > ndon styles at the same tlmo that they were Introduced In Now ork and lioston. This fact having become well known , his 'Openings have always been regarded as the society events of the season. Yesterday It was announced in TUB UKB that the Falconer opening wound take place last nielil , and notwithstanding the dis- asreesiblo condition of the weather the Itn- menso store was crowded almost as soon as the doors were thrown open at a few min utes after 7 o'clock. It wns a pretty sight that met the gaze of the thousands , and , us ono stood In the front door of the great dry goods house and looked down through the croat rooms , what might have been imagined a vision of fairy land was presented. Hut a trip through the store and a Journey ninonir the costly wares and fabrics was convinc ing evidence that it was not fairy land , but u store that was a pride to any city In the laud. Taking a trip down the right hand side of the room one saw the silk and dress goods department , which is complete in every de tail , and for the especial benefit of the ladies it is only necessary to say that there they can llml everything that is needed for their comfort and equipment. There are silks in all of the latest shades and qualities , wash silks and stripes being the most desirable , while among the novelties crystal cords. Canton crepes , scroll and ornamental designs , printed and twilled Indlns , splash designs in all colors are very swell and the latest things out. The black with white dots and delicate little moss roses Is in the market fern n big run and Is popular for evening and .street wear , while the two-shade silk is going to bo Just the thing for parties. An other color that Falconer shows is the "emi nence , " a beautiful cat dinal supposed to cor respond with the color of the robes of the pope at Homo. While this color applies to the silk , It runs through all of the dress goods and also extends to gloves , wraps and hats. hats.Kight hero It is only proper to say that Falconer carries the best styles and the largest stock of silks west of Chicago. The glove department occupies a quiet little noolc near the silk department and is as complete as it can bo made. For the ex clusive bcnellt of the ladies it can bo said that the correct styles this season will bo eminence , brown , light lavender and pearl , though brown and black will still bo in favor. Beyond the silks and looking through a perfect bower of roses , hyacinths and potted plants , which lent their fragrance to the atmosphere , ono siw : the lace department , complete in every detail , comprising every thing from the cheapest to that made by hand and costing * 12 , " > per yard. Then there were ribbons ribbons enough to reach around the world and back again , while a little farther down the store were the domestics and cheaper dress goods for house and afternoon wear. The hosiery department came in for its share of inspection by thofaironcs who have an eye to quality and style. Whiloit may bo u delicate subject to sp ak of , it is a fact Just the same , that the correct thing in hosi ery is onyx dye , a coal black , though the eminence will Hud favor in fashionable cir cle's. While passing the hose the linen de partment should not bo overlooked , as Fal coner has the linen trade of the state. Being a Scotchman himself , Mr. Falconer knows where to go when ho buys his linens , and that he may get the best and give his cus tomers the beneilts ho buys from the Scotch and Irish manufacturers , taking the products direct from the looms of the old world , While there arc many things on the llrst iloor for the ladles , the men have not been neglected , as the furnishing department contains all the articles of gents' wearing apparel , with the exception of clothing , hats , caps and shoes. By keeping the best goods in this line and by selling them at low prices , Mr. Falconer has become the leader in gents' furnishing goods. leaving the lower floor and going up ono flight , there is n continuous surprise , for in the cloak department alone there seems to bo enough garments to clothe the town. Hero again ono finds the styles of Paris , Berlin and London , including every thing from the common street Jacket to the buttcrily capo- ' trimmed with Grecian grlmp and tinsel. The most fashionable ones are in light colors wit.i pearl buttons as largo as saucers. The tailor made suits nro various in style , though the most aristocratic are crinoline skirts with boleno waists , slightly Spanish , thougl the serpentine waist , which folds over the front of the bust and fastens in the bauk with un oxquislto little sailor knot , is cred ited wltn being the correct thing. Another suit that will bo worn by the swell girls is the Gordon sash suit with the Katon Jacket , and the World's fair suit will niuko a hard run for second place. This suit has a skirt and waist , the latter being sleeveless and having the appearance of being a capo. In coats the Parisian fan capo coat with puffed sleeves and tight waist is considered very swell. In hats there was displayed a line ranging in prices from $1.50 to J05. For party wear the Empire poke of the vintage of 10HU takes the load , while n carriage hat trimmed iti lowclcd lace will bo ono of the favorites. The English turban and the sailor will continue to bo the favorites for street wear , all of which are displayed in an endless profusion. The drapery and furnishing departments last night attracted the attention of the thousands , and It was with awe that they ga/od upon the Irish point lace curtains costing from $10 to $1BO per pair. Leaving these they turned tholr attention to the tapestry and upholstering departments , where they saw portieres arid silk curtains costing from $10 to $ . " 0 , depending upon the quality. There were the rugs , Persian and Oriental , that covered the floors llko ii-hcavy coating of velvet. Over these and through the great store under the glare of the elec tric lights the throng wandered until nearly midnight before thu last person had de parted. The ono opinion prevailed , and that was that N. B. Falconer was a royal entertainer , this opinion being formed by the fact thai ho or some of his pleasant clerks were always on hand to furnish information and answer the numor6us questions that were continu ally propounded.

The railroad officials have made every arrangement for my comfort , and although I suppos" I shall bo a bit tired at the end of nineteen davs ear riding , I am sure therripprience will be , on the whole , a plo.isant one. "There is one Impression I should llko to correct. 1 shall not have a private car , for that iiPa measure would defeat the purpose for which I ntn undertaking the trip. 1 want to show how comfortable , convenient and safe travel on the ordinary coach is for everyday travelers. So I shall journey llko everybody else in a palace car. only ono sect - t on of which Is reserved for mv use. It is quito true , however , that I shall not bo obliged to set foot on ground from the tlmo I leave Chicago until I return to it. So perfect are the arrangements at the various Junc tions that I need not go outside of the station to pass from ono train to another. "I shall take along two bags a big ono and a little ono. A soft felt hat will make my head comfortable and I may take an extra frock to wear Sun-lays. 1 shall p.iss the lirst Sunday in Portland and the second lu the City of Mexico. If It is bright and sun shiny I may want to gi-t rid of travel stain and see sights. I shall travel in the dress I have on. 1 had another made expressly for the journey , but it wasn't successful , so I shall cling to old clothes. " Miss Doollttlo's old clothes arc a pleasing variety. She is a lull , slender young womaii with brown hair , briirhl brown eves , and a ready smile that revc.ils glistening wlilto teeth.
