The senate then took up bills on third reading. The secretary was engaged on the general appropriation bill when the senate took a recess until a o'clock. The entire afternoon was given up to tlio passage of bills. Appropriation Hill 1'nssod u Ainondcd. The reading of the general appropriation bill was completed shortly before ! i o'clock , nnd It was then placed on its llnal passage. The independents who , iu the committee of the whole , had opposed the amendments in creasing the appropriations for the several state institutions , voted solidly against the bill , and as several friends of the amended bill wore present it had iv narrow escape from defeat. As U was the measure had but sixteen votes when tlio roll call was com pleted , ono less than the required majority. A call of the house brought in several of the 'absentees. ' The bill then received nineteen votes. As it failed to receive the necessary two-thirds majority to give the emergency clause ofToet it was declared passed wltliout that clause and sent back to iho house. Senate file ( U was passed. It was intro dnced by Pack wood and authorizes school districts having less than ? T > , ( )01) ) ) of assessed valuation to levy a higher rate of tax for school purposes , Stewart's bill , No. 80 , to provide for the payment of u bounty for the destruction of wild animals , was read the third time am passed. Among the other bills passed during the afternoon were senate Hies 2tiO , 78 , 237 and house rolls 101 and 123. llrnnclit on n Doxillork , At 5 o'clock Senator Everett brought on a deadlock which lasted until 70 : ! ! before the senate could agree upon the terms of ad Journment. Kvcrott's motion was to Hi effect that the senate should take a recess until 10 o'clock tomorrow. Senator McDonald , by unanimous consent , was given permission to offer a report from the committee appointed to confer with a mmilar committee from the house as to fix ing n day for llnal adjournment. Ho re ported that the two committees had been unable to agree , but the sonata committee recommended that a llnal adjournment betaken taken Saturday next at noon , the house con curring. The report was not adopted , Senators Clarke , Kvorott , Halo and Thomson voting with the Independents to lay it on the table. Senator Mattes then moved to adjourn. The ayes and nays were called for and his motion was defeated. Then the senators on the republican side of the chamber began to filibuster over the matter of taking n recess till 10 o'clock to morrow morning. \Vliy They Wraujjleil. The friends of the maximum freight bill insisted upon the recess for the reason that they would then bo able to continue the order of bills on third reading as soon us the sonata convened in iho morning , and in this way all the bills ahead of the rate bill would be disposed of and the- way cleared for the placing of that bill on Its final pas- aago. The opponents of the bill fought fern n simple adjournment , which would enable them to take up the regular order In the morning. Liy this plan they would be able to delay action on the rate bill for several days U they felt so disposed , Krory parliamentary weapon known to the skillful and experienced filibuster was called Into requisition nnd the senate was held In session for tvro hours and a half , neither side yielding an Inch In the entire struRBlo. The principal tactics used were the roll calls on the motion * to excuse mem ber * from voting. Sample ol th Itoll C IU. A roll ial : ! would bo ordered ou a motion to exeusn some senator from voting nnd during the roll call some otlvfr senator would ask to bo excused. A now roll call \vns nt once ordered , but before It could bo completed another senator would nrofer a similar request. And so It went. The last roll call recurred on thn motion to excuse Pojw from voting on the motion to excuse Graham from voting on the motion to excuse Kggleston from voting on the motion to excuse POIKJ from voting on the motion to oxcu. o North from voting on the motion to adjourn. On this motion six separate roll calls were nec essary nnd tbo.v were Interrupted by several roll calls on motions to reconsider nnd two or three calls of the house.- It U'lll C'omn Up to Toiluy. Finally at 7flO : a compromise was effected. The Independents together with their faith ful allies , Clarke , Everett , Halo and Thom son , agreed to adjournment and on thn other hand the republicans who have been making the light gave their word that Iho order of bills on third reading should be taken up tomorrow at 11 o'clock. The senate then adjourned. IN TIM : iiotisi : . Clnlim Appropriation mid 1'arkwocid'ii Swltrli Hill * IMMi-d tvllli Oilier * . Lisroi.x , Neb. , Mwh 2 : ) .

The noon recess was then declared. Slntu Depository Illll riinnoil. When the house convened after recess the order of bills on third reading was continued. The llrst bill taken up was house roll No. 10 , by Lynch This bill makes several Im portant amendments to the state depository act passed by the legislature two years ago. Under 11 strict construction of the provisions of the present law , banks cannot ba com pelled to pay Interest on any state funds which may happen to bo in tlio hands of county treasurers and deposited under the act. Lynch , D.ivlos and LlngcnfeHor spoke upon the merits of the bill. It received fifty- four votes on the first roll call , not enough to carry it with the emergency clause. The roll was called again and the bill passed wittiout the omergeney clause. Tlio house then took up senate file No. 104 , a bill in which the people of Omaha are par ticularly interested. It was introduced in thesoii'ito by Babcoek. and is entitled. "An Act to Promote the Development of Water Power for Manufacturing jind Other Indus trial Purposjs. " It received the necessary constitutional majority. AHUM lllld Mown KngitKud. An incident bordering upon the sensa tional occurred during the consideration of the next bill on third reading. The bill was house roll No. 24li , and was introduced bv Ames. It provides that , within three months after it becomes a law , all re ceptacles for carbonic acid gas or other sub stances of that nature shall bo provided with u safety valve to prevent oxf loslon. In explaining his vote against the bill , Howe stated that ho believed that the bill was introduced for the benellt of the com pany which holds the patent on the safety valve contemplated by the measure. Ho stated further that he had been shown the device since the session commenced. " Ames was standing in the center aisle some eight or ten feet behind Howe. Ho Hushed angrily at IIowo's remarks and said something which caused the Ncmaha gen tleman to swing around in his chair us rap dly as a well developed case of inflamma tory rheumatism would permit. He repeated to Ames the assertion ho had Just made on the floor of the house. ' \ou don't know what you are talking about , " was Ames' retort. "I don't , oh ? " responded Hqwo. "Well , I do know what I am talking about , and if you think I don't I'll < como closer , " : ind hastily grabbing his crutches the temporarily disabled statesman from Ncmaha made in the direction of tlio llttlo member from Douglas. They continued their conversation In excited tones and for a moment it looked as if the entente cordial was to bo fractured right there. Tlio speaker rapped loudly for order and an assistant Eorgeant-at-arms thrust imself between the two gentlemen. The incident ended in a poncr.il laugh in which the disputants joined. Mutual explanation followed and peace was restored between Ncmaha and Doucrlas. The bill received enough votes to make It law as far as the house Is concerned. 1'iirlcwiiod's Switch Illll Carries. Senate lllo No. 0 , by Packwo'od , was then placed on its final passage. This is the bill requiring the construction of transfer switches at all points touched by two or more railroads. Many of the members who voted against the bill gave as a reason that It required railroads to transfer freight from ono road to another without compensa tion. Notwithstanding the objections , the bill received u constitutional majority. Senate lllo 2.VJ , which provides that the state shall carry its own insurance on the capltol building , was placed on its final passage - sago , but it failed to receive the necessary majority and didn't pass. Wiistotl 111.'I Watson then precipitated n discussion which was the only enlivening feature of the iiftcrnoon. Ho moved that the vote by which senate lllo Iso. 10 hud been indelliiltely postponed bo reconsidered. The speaker held that the motion was in order and that 11 fly-one voles would recon sider. Llngcnfclter took exception to the ruling of tlio uhatr and ho was backed up by Uhodcs , both of the gentlemen claiming that under the rules It would require a two-thirds majority to reconsider the voto. The speaker defended his rullnc by stating that the two- thirds rule had been changed early In the session. Harry amended Watson's motion by another bill , which has been Indefinitely postponed , and ICeCkloy followed suit. Others offered similar amendments and the speaker was finally compelled to rule that but ono bill would bo considered at a timo. The discussion brought half of the mem bers of the house to their feet and was only ended by the adoption of a motion to ad journ. CONTRACTOR SQUIRES TALKS.

Squires , agent for the Barber Asphalt company , was * aaked what ho had to say in reply to Alvin Hcnsol's charge of attempting doodling ho was not inclined at llrst to unbosom himself. After intimating that bit. Hcnse ! hud tried to bleed him , tailing , had squealed , Mr. Squires loosened up and said : "I am Inclined to think the fellow was tryIng - Ing to work me. The facts in the case will probably bo made plain when the committee begins iho investigation. 1 will say that .10 member of the committee over approached mo with any suggestion as to how I should proceed to got the council to pay us for tlio work wo had done.

The city owes us nearly MO.OOO now. and there Is hardly a cent In the pav ing fund with which to pay It. Wlron our Just claims are hung up this way for a long time some smart Alee thinks ho sees a chance to make something out of us. nnd ho cpraes In with a proposition to lobby the claim through for a certain aum. As a rule , I think the members of the committee and the councilmen as a whole know nothing nlwut tlio proposed schema.

The board held another meeting last night nnd kicked over the traces by deciding that a bidder need only put up a $1,000 check. The board argued that this would allow small contractors to bid and would promote competition.

Tho. uncertainty which prevails as to iho prbbablo futo of the Islands , so fur as thu question of annexation to the United Statcs.ls concerned , is having a depressing effect hero , not only on thd general trade , but on themorals , o'f the pco- plo , and a feeling of unrest has n risen which will require more- than empty conjecture * to still. Tlio inauguration of a now party , the Hawaiian Patriotic league , lust week , hav ing for Its object the avowed purpose of maintaining , as far as possible , the autonomy of the country , shows opposition to annexa tion grows With delay. The ofllccra and many members of the league were not at Hist strongly arrayed against the prospect of government from Washington , butdispatches received here tolling of apparent doubt ex isting In the minds of some of the people of the United States us to the Justness of ac cepting the proposals of the provisional gov ernment are having effect on the minds of the native Ilawailans , who nro naturally pi-one to change. AsKrrtlnns til thu Itoyiilltt * . loyalists openly state that the public sen timent 111 the United States is changing in their favor , through the representations of Neumann and Prince David , and they give out that the queen confidently expects in formation by tlio steamer Australia , arriv ing hero on the 2Jd : instant Unit her throne will bo restored to her , though possibly with the condition ? attached that the United States will declare a protectorate. Meetings of the Civil Rights , or "Hlaok Flag" league , us It is popularly tunned , and of the Patrio tic league and Native Sons of Hawaii are being reinforced bv meetings of those dis- satislled with the course pursued by the provisional government in making Its np- pointmcnts. Almost all of these meetings have been held in secret. Tlio Patriotic league has sent n delegation to the other islands" to oiiranizc branches there. One Pa triotic league is proposing to admit to work ing membership in the order till Hawaiian women over 'JO years of ago. The women of the islands are u factor in local polities and are pronounced royalists. Their Inlluenco on any proposed action is expected to count for a great deal. Disaffected militiamen , under the leader ship of certain prominent anleers , would like to see. if not u.sslst In sectirintr , : i change in the ministry and the prpiiosal of the liberal newspapers that the republic bo established for the interim that is popularly supposed will elapse between the present time and that ui which Iho United States shall have arrived at some conclusion respecting an nexation is meeting yith some favor. Ill-public ot IIiixvull. It is thought a .ihvprublo change could bo effected by a votO'tft'confidence in the cab inet , passed by the advisory council and ac companied by an act creating tlio republic of Hawaii. The native.Hawailans might cast a largo vote for HoherWWilcox for president , but It Is more probaWu that the \vhito poli ticians of the royalist party would use Wil- cox's express resolutions of friendship for Minister Slovens iis ui weapon against him and succeed in uviJrtiGg u ( complimentary na tive vote. In justjhojto tjie moderation and patience of the provwlonaj government , and " of the prominent iircu "of- the American or annexation party , Uffrust'-lx ) said , however , that they nro quic'Ui 'tiwaiUng tho.tiotjon of the United' States , mth faith in Us good in tentions .and ) with ijo doubt as to Jhc satis factory-conclusion of Ihe Idbors of their commissioners at Washington. The steamer Mmtoway arrived from San FranciKco March 10 , and brought among her passengers 'W. G. Wilder , one of the Hawaiian commissioners. Mr. Wilder , in convcrsation'with the Associated Press cor- respondeit ( , said : "I received a'dispatch from Commissioner Thurston the day the steamer loft San Francisco intimating that ho was satisiled that the treaty would pass at the extra session. I thlnlc ono thing is certain. It will bo either annexation or nothing. Talk of u protectorate is non sense. " There is a movement on foot to form an as sociation at Honolulu among all the friends of annexation. .List's are being circulated about town and a largo minitor of the sup porters of the provisional government have signified their willingness tojoin the society. - inuonico. One of the most important changes which lias occurred since tliq provisional govern ment assumed power > is the resignation of P. C. Jones , minister of finance , which was announced last evening , March 15. Minister Jones has been subjected to considerable criticism , owing to appointments made to the departments under his charge , but his honesty and capability are unquestioned. The condition of his health , however , is the cause assigned for his resignation. Tnc ox- eeutlvo council has Chosen T. C. Porter to succeed Jonos. Porter is a supporter of both provisional government and of annexation. It is rumored that the attorney general , Smith , also contemplates resigning. The plea of Sir lid win Arnold for a Japan ese protectorate over Hawaii has again failed atlention to a danger which a few shrewd observers ha'Vo foreseen. Colonel Ash ford , who is u power not to bo despised , is satisfied that the officers of the war ship Nanlwa would have made an effort to annex or establish a protectorate in the Islands had they not been forestalled by Minister Stevens. Colonel Ashford is bitterly opposed to the disfranchlsoment of tlio Japanese , but is Just as firm a believer that the islands should bo Immediately Joined to the United States if tlio rights of Hawaiians were maintained. General A. S. Hartwell also holds that if the United States.wlthdraws her protection it will t'orco the islands cither Into the hands of England or Japan. On a popular vote , says ho , the 12,003 to 10,000 Japanese hero would go far toward carrying the islands for their own country. Designs of Ir < irrlit I'owura. Chief Justice Judge also thinks that there are designs upon the islands. Ho instanced the fact that the captain of the Naniwa had called upon the provifctynal government , and said it was probable that if the United States abandoned its protectorate the Japan ese would consider that no government ex isted In the islands and would raise their flag. The Japanes'o govHrnmcnt ofllelals are understood to bo printing through the re munerative labors of rbcir subjects hero and another thousand of them hnvo left Japan for Hawaii. The British minister , Woilohouso , U on friendly terms witli'JIftp.inoso commissioners. in conversation witli-mnn of unimpeachable Integrity Friday last , Wodohouso satQ : "Tho ling of the United { tyUcs will have to coma down and the Boston troops bo removed , " adding that a coinin slonor would bo sent hero from the Unitftd. , > tates to investigate the situation. Cartttui other remarks of the British minister have given offense to the Americans hero. | . TlilrtjrXvr'u'VnlUor .
