tath came In for a Bhare of consideraflon In
the aenato today. } ar1y In the daT Mr.
hcrrnan aucceeded In having the filled
cheese bill taken up. whereupon Mr. Dubola
- Offered an amendment adding 7 centa per
barrel to the tax on beer. The aenator aald
1.1 amendment waa Intended to test the sincerity -
cerity of senators who expressed the patriotic
deaire to aid the treasury by raising more
revenue. Mr. Sherman oppoJcd the amend.
: nnt as a sidlIful means to defeat the chcese
bill. Ills motion to table the Dubols amendment -
ment was detested-yeas , 25 ; nays , 30. On
' \ the question of adcptIng the amendment , the
debate became general , Senators Mills and
Gray supporting and Nelson0 Aldrich and
'IIas opposing it.
The bill and the pending beer amendment
were displaced at 2 oclock by the bond
biii which was advocated by Mr. Pritchard.
republican of North Carolina , and opposed
by Mr. Lindsay , ileinocrat of Kentucky. A
lull wn passed to pension at $75 a month

time United States senator from Alabama.
Mr. Thnrton , in 'view of his departtwe ,
owing to sickness lb his family , defined his
posItion on a number of important pending
sneacures , viz : Favorable to the election of
senators by the People. to the bill amending
the law for punlahment for contempt of
A court , to the filled cheese bill , and opposed
to the bill prohibiting the issue of bonds.
' . As to the last measure Mr. Thuraton was
not opposed to the principle of the bill ,
which he might approve at another time , but
he felt it was too late In the session to
withhold from the administration the meana
of avoiding a monetary crisIs.
DUIJOIS' TAX Of 13EER.
As soon as the filled cheeie bill was taken
VP , Mr. Dubois , republican of Idaho , offered
an amendment to the chece bill placing an
additional tax of 75 cents per barrel on beer ,
ortor and ale. In suiporting the amend-
znent , Mr. Dubois said it offered an opportunity -
tunity to Mr. Sherman to execute the
atrlotio purposes he bad recently expressed
without resorting to the Dingley tariff bill ,
an "unjust , unsatisfactory , sectional bill
. which cannot pass the senate. " That bill
.was a "trap , tranaparent and unfair. " This
beer amendment would yield $2OOO.OOO additional -
ditional revenue , Mr. Dubois said. Senators
could accept this or else "quit posing before
the country as the only patriots. "
Mr. Sherman , republican of Ohio , replied
briefly , urging that this was a move to
cripple the cheexe bill , which was in no
aense a general revenue bill. Thirty millions
of revenue already was raised from "that
.
.very Useful and comfortable drink , " and
ho ( Sherman ) thought the consumers of beer
paid about enough. lie moved to table the
beer amendment. which motion was defeated

FOR AND AGAINST TrIE TAX.
' I The refusal to table created something of
a stir through the senate.
ir. Vilas opposed the amendment , saying
the tax on beer fell on the consumer and the
' vage.earnlng workers.
Mr. Dubois said cenators declaimed for
snore revenue and yet opposed a move to
raise rov.nue. lie denied that tb'e would
place a great burden on the consumer of
beer. Doer wca cheap , two glasses for 5
cents. and the price would not rse.
Mr. Mills , democrat of Texas , supported the
' 4 1 beer amendment and pointed out that the
I OpfOsltiOn came from senators who supported
' ' ( a greater tax on choose , an article of food
\ used by the poor.
' Mr. Aldrich , republican of Rhode Island ,
expresord gratification that the democratic
' party had , by the vote just given , placed itself -
self on record In favor of a high beer tax.
It had been generally suppo.sed that the
brewers of the country supported the democratic -
cratic party , not by their votes , but in a
more substantial way , and in return for this
belp the party offered a heavy beer tax.
Me. Nelson , republican of Minnt'aota , deprecated -
rocated the move to inject the tariff or all.
ver questions Into this niertoriua bill against
Zrauduien cheese.
Mr. Gray , democrat of Delaware , ad ! the
cheese bill was confessedly not to raise
revenue ; that the beer amendment was most
opportune to make the bill what it purported
to be-a revenue meaure.
At 1 o'clock the cieeso bill. with the beer
amendment pending , was laid aeido , Mr.
Sherman announcng that ho would call it
up as soon as the bond bill was dlspeeod of.

nsat Thou Irlfts Into h'olltiii
Until Protests Are Ilniseil
Agninst lhliia ,
WASHINGTON , May 2G.-The house today ,
by a vote of 165 to 69. passed the bill for the
repeal of section 61 of the present tariff
law , provIding for a rebate on alcohol used in
the arts or medicinal compounds. An amend-
meat was attached to the bill providing for a
joint commission to consist ot , three members
from each house to examine and report on
all questions relating to free alcohol at the
next session , The opposition to the mneas-
nra came almost entirely from eastern and
New England states. An analysis of the
vote shows that. fifty-six democrats , 104 republicans -
publicans and five popullats voted for the
bill , had sixty republicans and nine democrats
against the bill. The senate amendments to
the genea1 deficiency ( except the French
spohiation claims and claims under the 130w-
man acti , werq disagreed to , and the bill
sent to conference. Mr. Dolliver , republican
of Iowa , a member of the ways and means
comrmlttee , spoke in favor of the alcohol bill.
lie ridiculed the idea of attempting republican -
lican legislation against the opposition of
the "Inert , populistic mass in the senate"
and the "inert , free trade mass in the white
house. "
Mr. Dolliver then drifted into politics , and
paid his respects to ox-Governor Horace
Boles of Iowa , who , he raid , looking In
vain through the dust and cobwebs of a
country law office for a republican nomhna.
tion , joined the anti-prohibition element in
Iowa and carrie'I the democratic party to
victory. With cutting satire lie described
Mr. l3oks a' tiring of the contemplation of
the legal 'status of the town pump , and turn-
log his attention to broader fields. lie told
of a dinner at tue New York Reform club
in 1891 , at which Cleveland , Carlisle and
Boles were present , and at which Boles dc-
livered a high tribute to the prosperity of
the country under tIme McKinley law. He
eulogized the splendid leadership of Reed ,
McKinley , l3iaine and Harrison , undr which
the McKinley law had been enacted , and
described the misrepresentation of that law
which had overthrown the splendid republican
phalanx. and bad given congroes over to the
'widest ! assortment of political freaks that
ever added to the gayety of nations. " lie
went on to describe how Mr. Boles bad once
again "shifted his horizon , " and now sought ,
'with some local success. " to restore the
irosperity of a republican administration , by
advocating the "unlimited manufacture of
50-cent dollars. "
The republican side displayed a good deal
of indecision during the delivery of Mr. fbI.
liver's remarks , but Mr. McMiiiin , democrat
of Tennessee , angrily protested against consuming -
suming the brief time for debate with a
political harangue and Mr. Knox , republIcan
of Massachusetts. joined in the protest.
Mr. I3artlett , democrat of New York , and
Mr. Colson of Kentucky , opposed and Mr.
McMiiiin advocated the alcohol bill. The tat.
ter denied that the proposed legislation was
in the interest of the whisky trust.
Mr. Dingiey , chairman of the ways and
means committee , closed the debate in favor
of the measure. There were , be said , three
facta to be borne in mind : First , this was
not a tariff bill , It was simply an internal
revenue bill ; second , with claims against the
government piling up , good administration
demanded its repeal , arid third , the present
provision was absolutely unworkable.
fly 112 to S the house accepted the corn-
promise amendment agreed on by friends
and opponents of the bill , providing for
the appointment of a eommltteo to examine
all questions relating to free alcohol and report -
port to congress next December and , as
amended , the alcohol bill was . passed , 165
to 69. - -
Another partial report on thq Indian
appropriation bill , which left only the ques-
Uon of the sectaria0 schools and the old
settlers claims still in dispute , was adopted.
At 5:45 : p. m. the house adjourned.

ROAD fltCEitS GETTING IN TRill.
Con the Seen DniI Now Out Ofl tlit'
Io.he Strtet Course ,
The atpirant3 for Decoration day road
race honors can now be seen every day in
training on the Dodge street course. Some of
them tAke their pra.tico spins in the morning -
ing and others in the afternoon and even-
lng. The course is an ideal one for a road
race. The surface of the macadam is
smooth , contains but one turn and that not
a dangerous one , and with the exception of
one railroad track there is nothing which
could be culled an obstruction. This railroad -
road crossing is planked in such a manner
as to render it as little inconvenient as
possible. There is suflicient of down hill
and level road to afford opportunity to display -
play the speed of the riders and hills enough
to climb to test their wind and endurance.
In a jaunt over the course yesterday many
of the riders were found barth at their training -
ing and speed enough was sown to demon-
strata that the winner will hare ample
reason to congratulate himself on his sue-
cess.
In cycling circle , it is rumored there are
some hitherto unknown men who are very
likely to give the old-timers the. hot end
of a very hot argument. There are rumors
of fast time made over the course by several -
eral of the candidates , but these , like trial
heats of race horseS can always be taken
with a grain of alfowance It is pretty
safe to Sn ) ' , however , that the scratch men
will not hay back this year waiting for the
other fellow to set pa l and let a handicap
man win time prize."without a struggle.
They have learned alesson and all who ax-
pect to be put on.scxatch yow they will
ride it out from the crack of the pistol and
if a handicap man 'wjns time prize this
year he will have to 'dde hard and be a
whole lot bettor than.tbo handicappers gave
him credit for.

LINCOLN , May 26.-Speciai.-The ( ) cadets
of the University of Nebraska are very much
disgruntled against a recent dec aba of the
faculty against their going into camp this
year. Several indignation meetings have been
held , and the end is not yet , It Is asserted
that the attitude of tIme faculty originates in
the fact that on Saturday night last there
was a somewhat riotous d'poitiOn imtanl-
fasted among some of the companies conipet-
lug for the prizes offered for superior drilling -
ing , which disturbance led to the arrest of
000 of ( 'he c'Idets. The ground selected for
the encampment Is at Nebraska City , and the
faculty Is fearful of similar exploits among
( lie young men It they are allowed to go
into camp near that city. Some of ( ho boys
declare they will go into camp anyway. The
Pershing Rifles have extended a cordial Invitation -
tation to the cadets to participate , and it Is
freely claimed that the invitation will be
accepted.
Governor Holcomb today sent commissions
to Miiton 13. Deck of Bennett , recently ap-
ponted ! surgeon of the Firat regrnent ! , Nc-
braska National Guards , and to MaurIce A.
heaver , appointed surgeon of the Sccond
regiment. Both have the rank of captain.
Adjutant General flarry has aent"-to each
company in the guards 200 rounds of bionIc
cartridges to be used on Decoration day.
For several weeks Lincoln people have
been annoyed by potty thieving , Including
chickens , clothing and small articles left
lying around the house. Today the police
raidct 'a camp of tramps near Twenty-
seventh and U streets , capturing four and
chasing another out of sight. Officer flout-
zahn fired several shots at hi retceatlng
form , but so far as learned none of thorn
took effect , The four landed at ( be station
are a tough looking lot. One of them , Delaney -
laney , alias McVoy , alias Smith , is supposed -
posed to be the man who lately broke into
the residence of H. M. Scott.
The city council has given notice that
after July 1 no more bilis will be paid for
the maintenance of the Lincoln police force ,
It is expected that property owners along
the beats of the patrol will pay all expenses -
penses in ( ho future.
Under instructions of the court the hood
perjury case this afternoon passed into
history , the jury bringing in a verdict of
acquittal. The defense hind entered a tie.
murrer to the evidence against hood and
Judge Hall sustained it and ordered the
jury to acquit.
The jury in the case brought by Oliver
& Lansing against It. H. Moore to recover
on a $500 subscription to the building Cf
the Lansing theater , today returned a ver-
duct in favor of the plaintiffs for $500 and
Interest from 1891 , the full amount claimed.
Brad D. Slaughter , receiver of the Lin-
coIn street railway , has asked the district
court to remove the case recently brought
by the city to foreclose on the road for
delinquent taxes to the federal court. He
says that is the proper tribunal to fix the
priority of liens.
