MILLS PLEADS FOR CUBA Senator from Texas Urges Eccognition of Bolllgoronts. DENOUNCES PRESIDENT CLEVELAND B e 1 < H CoiiteiiiiliioiiNly | of Cnntcllur , , AVej'ler anil of SlKiior CrlNpI Allen ( if XHtniHkn. SajM n For \VonlN. WASHINGTON , Jon. 11. The chief event toilny In thu senate session was nn Impas- ttloncd speech by Mr. Mills of Texas , In favor ot a resolution Introduced by him to declare thu recognition of a foreign government a congressional prerogative and to recognize tlio Independence ot Cuba and appropriate $10,000 for the salary of ix minister. In ( .up- port of tlio first proposition the senator quoted a long line of precedents , and , speak ing on the latter question , ho strongly de- noiincoJ the administration , charging It with favoritism toward Spain. Ho spoke con temptuously of Castcllar und Wcylcr and of Slgnor Crlspl , because of his declaration that Kuropo could not look without concern upon the pretensions of the United States. The Cuban question was the mercantile spirit of the nation against Its honor , ho declared. There was an Informal decision by several BcnatorB , and Mr , Bacon of Georgia gave notice of a speech tomorrow. After a little preliminary business today , Mr. Mills called up the resolution Introduced by htm that the determination ot the ux- pcdlcVcy of recognizing the belligerency of a foreign government belongs to congress , and when congress so determines , the executive should act In harmony with the legislative department of the government ; also recog nizing the Independence- the republic of Cuba , and appropriating $10,000 for the ex penses of a diplomatic representative , and proceeded address the sonata upon It. Mr. Mills began by saying that the secre tary of state had challenged thu authority of congress to recognize the Independence ot a foreign state , and that a bill passed over the veto of the president would be of no effect. "I propose to meet that statement , " he announced. "Tho authority of congress In this matter has never been challenged but onco. Then the challenger was signally rebuked " buked , and 1 have no doubt he will bo now. Ho did not know where- the secretary of state found his authority. A government must exist bcforo It could bo recognized , forte to recognize It a diplomatic officer must bo Bent to It. Congress must create the olllcc , had solo power to create an olllce , and must do so before the president could send an ambassador to a government. "This Is a most remarkable statement , " commented Mr. Mills , upon Secretary Olnoy'u declaration , from which ho quoted. "Tho respect that 1 have for the secretary of state mid the high olllce he holdx. and for his chief and the high olllee ho holds , Is all that re strains mo from saylni ; more. He has his duty and I have mine ; the president must not say to the United States 'This Is none of your business. ' " Mr. Mills read from President Monroe's message of March , 1S22 , relating to the recog nition of South American republics In revo lution against Spain. Monroe , ho said , had recognized that both branches of the govern ment had n duty Imposed upon them In the recognition ot foreign governments , and that there must bo co-operation. Monroe had not eald ; "I have sent an ambassador , " but "If congress should concur" In his views , ho would recognize the now governments. How , In the face ot precedent , ho Inquired , could the president of the United States and the secretary of state stand before the people of the United States and say that they had thu solo power to recognize a foreign govern ment with which they were to have com mercial relations ? HK CITES PRECEDENTS. Mr. Mills recited as precedents the cases of several South American republics and the Btato of Texas , "whoso servant , " he said , "I have the honor to be. " Mr. Mills said that he would not speak of the propriety of a secretary of state discuss ing In public a measure on which congress was to pass , and predicting disaster If It became a law. In paying a tribute to Mr. Monroe , he said : "This was a man on whose xhonlders boards of trade and stock ex changes never put their shackles. " It was Fomcthlug strange at this late day. In the closing hours of the nineteenth century , that thu president had discovered that ho alone - of foreign had power over the recognition- governments and set at defiance a resolution of congress , even should It bo passed by n two-thirds majority. "If such an occasion arises , this govern ment will not bo wanting In power to carry Into effect the acts entrusted to It by the con stitution. " ho said. The methods of the recognition of Hungary , Liberia and llaytl wcra canvassed , and then Mr. Mills recalled a dispatch written by Secretary Scward In 1SG1 to the United States minister to Franco regarding the recognition ot the Maxlmllllan monarchy In Mexico. Even In this dispatch Secretary Scward had spoken ot a resolution paused by the house declaring against the recognition of the monarchy In Mexico , had eald that recognition was an executive tune- tlon , and that , unless the house resolution should be passed by both houses and signed by the president , or passed by both houses over his veto , the president would not at present change the government's present policy. Thereupon the foreign relations com mittee had reported a resolution expressing surprise that the president had seen fit to apprise a foreign government of a difference between branches of this government , a sub stitute for this resolution In nearly Identical terms had been adopted by a unanimous vote and Senator Morrlll and another , afterwards president of tlio United States , had been among thoao vo'tlng for Its adoption. \Ylion ciich a declaration had been made In tlmo of war by secretary ot state so highly honored as Mr. Seward and a presi dent so dear to the people as Mr. Lincoln , said Mr , Mills , the congress had denounced It and It would have no better fata now. It was only when thcro was no doubt of the propriety of the course to bo taken that the president could properly recognize a new government ; In such a case as tlio over throw' of a dynasty. When the president took such a step of his own motion he ns- mimed that the factH were no plain that congrras would support him. Congress hav ing power for the recognition of a state , ought elio not now to recognize the Independence of the republic of Cuba ? QUOTES SENATOR MONEY. Ho quoted from nn Interview with Sen- Btor-olcct Money on Cuba to chow the power nnd functions of the Cuban Insurgents. The neutrality lawn of the United Sutra had been so administered as to win the friend ship of Spain. "I don't envy the president his endorsements , " remarked Mr. Mills , "his tributes from Castcllar and Weylor. " lie arsued that selling arms and ammunition to the Insurgents was not a violation of In ternational law and that the administra tion had violated the spirit of neutrality by going to great lengths In warning Spain of proponed movements of the Insurgents. \\auliliiKton had warned the country against partialities toward foreign nations , yet the whole course of this administration had been to strengthen the power of Spain and help her put down the Insurrection. The president In hU mrxoago had said that there vrn no call for recounting the belligerency of the Cubans. HP did not know where tin * president obtained this remarkable In formation not from the people of the United States. "PonUbly ho received It from boards of trade. " Mr. Mills eald ho had received letters from mitny distinguished men Implorlni ; him to do * . ' nothing toward recognition because they 1 wcru Importing nnd exporting with Cuba nml Inquiring , "What have wo to do with Cuba ? " "It U the mercantile nplrlt of this na tion ngUnst ; Its honor , " lie declared , In cidentally he mild : "An asHJUsIn nits on the throne ot Spain. " and continued ; "We ewe no duties to Jespotn ; we owe no duties to Spain except under the treaties she haa persistently refused to obey. " Quoting the president's message that the United Stales looked with wonder and ad miration upon the Immense armament be ing sent to Cuba , ho exclaimed : "What , we , a people whose liberty was bought by our fathers' blood ? Tor one , I repudiate the statement. I look with horror and Indigna tion on It and If I had the power he has I would call on congress to give me author ity to send American fleets to Havana and reduce those forts to ashes If our people held there were not released. " WAHMS UP A BIT. "Would to God wo had one hour of Com modore Ingraham or Franklin Pierce In these days , " he exclaimed. Ho cared nothing about the courts of Spain or any other courts on earth. If ho thought American citizens were not given a fair trial , nnd If ho was In power , he would make the atmosphere of Madrid smell ot sulphur for a month. 'Hut ' for the boards o ( trade , stock exchanges and commercial gamblers , It might be possible for this gov ernment to show some virility. And now congress' was threatened with the tremendous power ot Italy. Slgnor Crlspl said that European nations could not look without concern upon the pretentlons ot the United States. "And who Is Slgnor Crlspl ? " Mr. Mllle asked. "There was n day , " ho began , and gave a rhetorical description of Italy's past glories , ending : "And the symbol of the power ol Italy today Is n monkey and organ grinder. If she desires to form an unholy alliance let her como on with her monkeys and organ grinders and hot tomalcs , and by the red blade of war wo will offer her a warm re ception. " After Mr. Mills had concluded the senate drifted Into n discussion of the constitu tional question of the rights of recognition , In which Messrs. Hale of Maine , Allen ol Nebraska , Hoar of Massachusetts , Chllton of Texas , and Morgan of Alabama took part. Mr. Halo held recognition to be exclusively a presidential power. Mr. Hoar believed the congress had the power Incidental to the regulating of commerce and war-making clauses , and raised the question what would ho done If congress should command the recognition of Cuba , and Spain should on the day after adjournment conquer Cuba ? Mr. Morgan , referring to Secretary Olncy's citation of his statement In an old speech that recognition was a presidential duty , said It was such merely ex-olllclo. MISCELLANEOUS I1USINESS. During the early part of the session Mr. Perkins , republican of California , had read to the senate a telegraphic copy of the reso lutions adopted by the California legislature protesting against the passage of the Powers funding bill. Some resolutions affecting- Inauguration preparations were Introduced. A resolution was Introduced by Mr. Allen directing the secretary of the navy to Inform the senate whether Isaac Walker & Sons , contractors of Philadelphia , arid P. J. Carlln of Brooklyn , engaged In repairing the naval hospital In Brooklyn , were violating the eight-hour law by compelling their men to work nine hours a day for the wages paid by private parties for eight hours' work. Mr. Chandler Interrupted In the matter with n technical question , whereupon Mr. Allen said : "The senator Is throwing a spear at a gnat. " "The senator should not call himself n gnat , " said Mr. Chandler. Continuing , Mr. Allen remarked that he conceded that the senator from New Hamp shire had been a good secretary of the navy. "I concede that myself , " remarked Mr. Chandler. After sonic further talk the resolution went over nnd Mr. Proctor of Vermont took the floor on a speech extending' the term of president to six years and members ot the house to three years. Mr. Pcttlgrew of South' Dakota gave notice of his Intention to call up tomorrow the house bill for free homesteads In Oklahoma. The senate , at1:20 : p. m. , went lno ex- ecutlvo session , and at G:50 : p. m. adjourned. TMtlC .SHTTI.KS Til 13 UISTUIIIIANCK. Oroek ami Itoiiiiiii CnlliolleN In n FlBliI nt .IcriiNnlein.

( Copyright , 1607 , tiy Press 1'ulilWilns Company. ) MADRID. Spain ( Via Bayonne , France ) , Jan. II. ( New Yorki World Cablegram Spe cial Telegram. ) The Spanish government lite courteously given the American government to understand , I learn , that It Is disposed to give attention to the observations whlcli Washington has unoindally made to Madrid , concerning the Porto Hlco reforms already decreed , nnd those contemplated tor Cuba. But It haa firmly let It be known that Spain alone must bo the judge of the moment for carrying out rcforrr.a , and of the extent of self-government compatible with the condi tion ot the colonies and with the Imperial Interests. The Madrid government considers It abso lutely Impossible to enter upon any formal or official engagement with the United States about Its colonial policy , though It Is per fectly willing to glvo every informal , unolll- clnl assurance of Its sincere Intention to seize the first favorable opportunity to Is-nic de crees , establishing administrative reforms and tariff reform In Cuba , ca far ca poc.ilulc within the limits of the law voted by the Spanish Cortes. The state of public sentiment In Spain obligee the government to conduct all nego tiations with the United States with great caution and reserve. Tlio Spanish mlnia- lers express the hope that President Cleve land and Secretary Olney will take Into due cor.dlderatlon the dllllcultlcs of the situation. The Spanish government expects no rcilst- anco from the Cuban royalist party or from General Weyler when the moment comcn for the firat Installment of Cuban reforms. Gen eral Weylcr hat ; recently declared that ho will obey the ordcro of tlie homo government , though he would prefer to postpone until the close of the war reforms which he consid ers unnecciuary now. The Intention of the Madrid government Is to put the Cuban reforms la force before Pivaldent-elect McKlnley takes olllce. If In the meantime General Weylcr can suffl- clently clear Havana and Matanzcs provlncco to enable the cabinet to Gay that the Im provement In the military and political situa tion justifies another onward step In the path OL concessions , spontaneously decred by the Spanish executive. The Irritation against America has per ceptibly nubslded. though the prcsij suapccta that much la passing behind the scenes. ARTHUR E. HOUGHTON. coxsri , < ; K.\iit.\i.

A dispatch to the Herald from Madrid says : The popular Impatience with the government because of the failure to suppress the rebellion In Cuba and the Philippine Islands Is dally Increas ing. Thousands of the young men of Spam have been sent to Cuba , where they have mot their death from disease or from the hardships of the campaign. Their families believe they would yet be nllve were It not for the prccrastlnating policy of Captain General Weyler , who , despite his promises to put down the Insurrection , has apparently accomplished little , whllo his unaccllmatcd troops have been dying by scores or hundreds. The leaders of both the conservative and liberal parties are distrusted and the political outlook Is chaotic. Rumors of n change In the ministry are frequently put Into circula tion and as frequently denied , but In the present temper of "Hie people the succession of the liberals would not banish the dis trust which prevails everywhere. The future la looked forward to with much anxiety. Order KKdilillKlicil lit IlKIlH. CONSTANTINOPLE Jan. 11.

Ono of the last points to be decided was that King Oscar ot Sweden and Nor way Is to act as the arbitrator In case the ethers fall to agree on the final mc-mber ot the court. The acceptance of the king and the final agreement on that detail was not cabled to Washington until late Saturday , and oven then ofto small detail remained to receive the approval of the forclsn office. At 11:20 : this morning n cablegram from Lord Salisbury removed the last objection and left the way clear for the formal exe cution of the Instrument. Immediately on receiving the cable- from Loid Sallslury , Sir Julian Paunccfotc. ac companied by Lord Gough , first secretary of the embassy , proceeded to the State de partment. They were met In the secretary'a private office by Mr. Olney nnd his private secretary , .Mr. Blaudford , and Mr. Crldler , who , is chief ot the bureau of diplomatic corresportienco , hns charge of the drafting of treaties. There were few formalities , as the signatures were but the culmination of a negotiation covering many weeks , during which a complete understanding had been reached on every phase of the subject. U wc3 felt , however , that the moment was an eventful one. The diplomatic bureau had prepared two copies of the document. They were not In any oenae ornate. The artlclca of agree ment were engrossed In a fair hand on the almplc red-margined parchment paper ordi narily used for treaties by the State de partment. These copies were laid upon the secretary's desk , nnd then occurred n very necessary formality. The British ambassa dor produced a formidable looking document signed by Lord Salisbury , certifying that ho ( the ambntwador ) wto authorized to slsu for the Brltlah government n treaty bearing on the subject specified. Secretary Olney re plied by showing a letter from President Cleveland , delegating to him authority to sign the proposed convention. Having thus satisfied themselves that everything was be ing conducted In a regular order , the prln- c'pa's proceeded to the slgnrturc of the dupli cate treaties. PAUNCEFOTE SIGNS FIRST. Sir Julian Paunccfoto had the honor of- .signing flrsl. Secretary Oliioy handed him. tho'pett nn'd ho signed one-copy 'InMWrftlrsb place , Secretnry Olnoy Immediately placing his signature after that of the ambassador. This will be known as the British copy and It will never leave the possession of that government. Taking up the other copy. Secretary Olney signed It first and Sir Julian Pnunccfotu signed after him. This Is the United States copy , and likewise will remain In the possession of our government. After this has been passed upon a copy will bo made of our original and this will bo used lu the final exchange of ratifications later on. Then both of the copies were scaled with red wax. Secretary Olney Im pressed his private seal , a simple monogram , "R. 0. , " and Sir Julian used his family crest , a lion , and then the ceremonies were completed. The pn us d was a simple broad-pointed steel stub In a red and black hard rubber holder , but It will be treasured by the owner , .Mr. Blandford. Following this there was nn exchange of courte&'ics between Mr. Olney and Sir Julian , each expressing Ills deep sense of gratifica tion that a labor which had presented ap parently Insurmountable obstacles had been concluded In a way to glvo promise of far- reaching results. The meeting was brief and on the retirement cf Sir Julian and Lord Goug-h Mr. Olney at once took the signed treaty to the white houss for the preparation of President. Cleveland's message transmit ting 'It to the senate. It was understood dur ing the morning Ihat this transmission would b > made at once In order that every execu tive function connected with the treaty dhould bo completed at the earliest possible moment. Under tluso circumstances tlio treaty and the president's message were re ceived by the senate today. TREATY OUTLINED. Twelve articles constituting the treaty deal with the subjects which arc to be sub mitted to arbitration and the manner In which the court of arbitration Is to bo con stituted. The language used In embracing subjects bcforo the court has been cheucn with the greatest care , the purpose being to make the terms so comprehensive that no question can arlso In the ordinary dealings between the governments which will cause a resort to war. The article which makes an exception In case of an Insult to the na tional luuor was ale ? carefully framed that ordinary questions which to some ex tent Involve a natlon'a honor could not bo brought within It. In short , the terms of the twelve articles are believed by Mr. Olney and Sir Julian to cover every usual con tingency by which a difference could arise between the United States and Great Britain. Throughout the negotiations the desire ot the secretary and the ambassador was to make the language so broad that when n controversy arose It would bo accompanied by the Inevitable knowledge on both sides of the water that arbitration , not war , would result. The selection of King Oscar as final arbi trator adds another responsibility to that monarch , as ho has heretofore been chnsen In connection with the Venezuelan boundary question. Ills selection closed ono of the moat troublesome features of the negotia tions. Thcro had been no difficulty In arrang ing that each country should bo represented by three arbitrators of eminence In IU Judi cial branches. The question then arose as to how a final decision could bo reached with the court equally divided. Lord Salisbury felt that the distinguished character.of the men constituting the court would asauro free dom from national prejudice , Mr. Olney .de sired to remove every possibility of a dead lock by having a final arbitrator who could , In case of n tie , cast the concluding vote , Tills raised a further quojtlnn as to the nationality of the final arbitrator. It waa felt that In'Juatlco ho could not bo an Amer ican or art Engllahman , whllo It was full to Im equally desirous that such an harmonious agreement between , the two English-speaking nations should nut look to a foreigner for Us final determination. Finally , however , rather than open the po Mblllty of a tlo and the failure of arbitration , King Oscar was agreed upoi , In case the others did not agree In choosing a final arbitrator. By tlidi ineni'i not only Is arbitration secured , hut arbitration which would bo effective and final. ' The period of flvo years was fixed as the limit of the treaty as a means of observing thu effectlvenei'S of the treaty , the Inten tion being to make the treaty permanent If ( ho five yearn brine the good results con templated. Auldn from the agreement made today , It In felt to offer a plan of arbitra tion as a r'tbutltuto for war , which will at tract the attention of European powers gen erally nnd mayBHVto n further extension ot the plan. The consutuuiAi Bf the Venezuelan and general arbitraljK-Wrecinent la considered In official and iiKgBttlc circles ns a most eventful achleviM H The scene of the general arbltratHMteaty lias been made very wide , the pi B being to have It cover all the- subjects M B usually arise to dis turb the rclattoaHj KWcen countries. As a rule , the details j H > allc9 aiv ahrouded In the greatest my fflbnt In thU ease , the Associated tTfiv-JpHB given such complete and exclusive hflHUwtlun us to the exact details of both of the agreements that the public has been fully Infonncd , and It Is un necessary to repeat them. Aside from the consummation of the agree ments , It hns been an Interesting feature that all the negotiations were carried on In Wash ington , both the Venezuelan and general ar bitration treaties being signed here. It hns been largely a work between Mr. Olney and Sir Julian Pauncefoto , although the latter was at all time In close communication with the British foreign office. Sir Julian handled the matter In a way which would have been Impossible If he had not felt n deep personal Interest In the successful conclusion ot the negotiations. When they halted for n time , and seemed In danger of failure through mis understanding of detail , the ambassador went to London , where extended conferences were had with Lord Salisbury , the result being that Sir Julian returned and conducted the negotiations to the successful end now se- curoJ. Peroons Intimately familiar with every detail cf the negotiations say that the par- tics were Inspired at all times with the purpose of bringing the two great English bpeaklng people together. With that end In view , there was an absence of shnr fencing Incident to lesser accomplishments of diplomacy. The thing to be done rather than the manner of Its performance was never lost sight of. The Joining hands of the- two nations , It Is stated , la felt to tran scend cny petty consideration of the skill of the negotiators In galiilnR n point of nd- vnntnge. vnntnge.PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE. The following Is the text of the presi dent's meraage , transmitting the gcnernl arbitration treaty : To the Semite : I transmit herewith n treuty for the arbitration of all mntiers In difference between the 1'iilted Stnte-n nnd Great Britain. The- provisions of the treaty nrc the result of long and pntlent deliberation and represent ronecsslons mnile by uach party for the sake of naree- iiu-nt upon the Kcnoral scheme. Though the result reached may not meet the vlewn of the advocates of lmiiin. < : ate , unlimited and Irrevocable arbitration of all Inler- natlonnl controversies , It Is mvertheless confidently bollcyed that the treaty can not fall to be everywhere recognized as making a long step In the rl ht direction and as embodying a practical working plan by which disputes between the two countries will reach a pe t-iTUl adjustment as a mutter of course ami In ordinary routine. In the Initiation of such an Important movement It must b' exnete 1 that FOTIC of Its features will assume n tentative char acter looking to a further advance , and yet It Is apparent tin treaty which has been formulatfd not only makes war be tween the parties to It a remote possibility but precludes those fears and rumors of war which of themselves ton often assume the proportions of n national dlnastcr. It Is eminently flttliis as well as fortunate that the attempt to accomplish results so beneficent should be Initiated by kin dred peoples , speaking the satnitoiimie and joined together liy all the ties of com mon traditions , common Institutions and common aspirations. The experiment of HulunlttliiR civilized methods for brute force as the- means of settling International questions of right will thus be tried under the happiest auspices. Its HUCCCSS ought not to be doubtful , and me fact that Its ultimate ensuing benefits arc not likely to be limited to the two countj-leM Imme diately concerned should cause It to be promoted all the more eagerly. The ex- junjUtt.get.AntliUu ; . Icnaou .fuculplieil by the successful 'operation of this treaty nre sum to be felt and taken to heart sooner or later by other nations , nnd will thus mark the he-glnnlng of a new epoch In civilization. Profoundly Impressed ns I am. therefore , by the promise of traiiFcencant oed which this treaty a ft or.In I do not lieHltnte to accompany Its transmission with an ex pression of my earnest hope that It may commend Itself to the favorable considera tion of the senate.

It la expected that the final draft of the treaty be tween Venezuela and Great Britain for the submission of the Venezuelan bound ary dispute to arbitration will be made some tlmo this month , and mailed promptly to Caracas. The general outlines of the treaty have been agreed upon and outlined to the satisfaction of the United States , Great Britain and Venezuela , and have been evi denced In an agreement between the two nations first named , but It was necessary to elaborate tliCiio In a general treaty be tween Great Britain nnd Venezuela. Progress la making on these detail , and an Important stop has been gained In the formal assent of King1 Oscar of Sweden to act as the final arbitrator In this as well as In the general arbitration court. The principal efforts of Sir Julian Paunco- fete and Scnor Andrade are now directed toward the completion of the treaty In season to admit of Its being laid before the Vene zuelan congress as fioon as it convenes. Under conditions this date would bo February 20 , but It Is as good as Ecttled that Presi dent Crcspo. taking advantage of the law which permits the legal sixty days scrslon to bo extended twenty days , will advance the date of meeting by that number of days , and the congress will assemble Feb ruary 1. In this cape. If the treaty Is to bo submitted at the opening of the session , It must bo dispatched from Washington not much later than the 20th hut. , tx > that only ten days are available to close up the nego tiation ? . Just what point.- ] remain to bo adjusted cannot be learned at pret-cnt , but It Is known they do not touch questions of vital Im portance , but relate to details , Important , hut not likely to give rise to serious controversy. It can bo stated , for one thing , that Vene zuela has accepted thut provision of the agreement between the United States and Great Britain which leaves to tlioyo two countries the selection of the arbitrators. Some difficulty wao expected lo be encoun tered on HiU point , but apparently Vene zuela Is content to rest her caeo In the hands of the United States , leaving It to the dis cretion of the United Stntes supreme court to name cither citizens of the United States or Venezuela , or even of n third country , as the arbitrators. It In po.lblc that fonio un derstanding on tlil.i point has already been reached between Scnar Andrade nnd Secre tary Olney , but It Is not poniiblo to eon- firm this view , though It gains color from the frequent conference ! ) , even as late as to day , between the fcccretary , Chief Justice Fuller and Mr. Storraw , attorney for the Venezuelan government. The Intervention of the United States to idjuBt the dispute has had one result not Foreseen nor contemplated nt the time , viz : The drawing closer together of the two -reat representatives of thu Kngllah-tipcaking standing effected In conx > inuur.cii of their races.

LINCOLN , Jan. 11. ( Special Telegram. ) The real legislative session commenced thla afternoon and the members of both housc are practically ready to takeup the bual- neos which brought them to the capital city. Speaker Gallln announced his standing com mittees of the house this afternoon. Douglas county seems to have fared very well In the general dk'trlhutlon. Itlcli heads the eutlro list ns chnliman of the Judiciary committee , whllo Messrs. Felkcr nnd Crow of Omnha nrc atao associated with him. Curtis of South Omaha Is chairman of the committee - too on corporation ! * . Dudley Smith Is nt the head of the committee on cities and towns , to which the Omaha charter will bo re ferred. Naturally , Llddcll Is chairman ot the labor committee. Felkcr will presldo over the committee on banks and currency. The republican members from Douglas county are given places on many of the meat Important committees. The only republican In thu house to be given a chairmanship Is Charles Waltc ot Lancaster , who heads the committee en mluea and minerals. The senate committees will not bo an- nouii'vd until tomonow morning. The propcG.il to seat two additional judgca upon the supreme bench Is now before the legislature In definite form. Bills were liii- trodticcd today , In the IIOUHC by Representa tive Hull of Hnrlnn and In the senate by Mr. Dcurlng of Cnss , providing for n recount of nil the votea cast for the nmeiidiucntu and for senators and representatives. The bill was prepared at n corfcrence of popu list and fiee ullver democratic leaders ami la distinctive ! } a caucus measure. It provides that a con mission of five members of the legislature shall be appointed , two by the president of the- senate and three by the speaker of the house * . Upon tlilj commis sion will devolve the duty of recounting : the ballots. All county clerks are directed to forward the poll books and ballots be fore January ! ! l , and the bill provides that the ballots shall be counted and the result reported to the governor on or bcforo Febru ary 15. The lenders In till ? movement be lieve that the amendment providing for two additional judgea on the Huprc'mo bench was carried by n mnjorlty of nil those voting for senators and ropreaentatlvca. They also believe that a recount of the voteu will show that the amendments providing for an elec tive railroad commission and for thu Invest ment of the permanent school fund in gen eral fund warrants have also enrrlcil. PLANS OF THE HOL'SK. Today the house cut out n largo amount of work for the coming sirslon. There waa nn earnest appeal for recognition when Speaker Gafiln announced that next In or der would he the Introduction of bills on first reading. Following this was then In troduced some of the most radical measured that will be brought before the house thla winter. The Omaha stock yards , the sugar bounty , salaries of officers of state Institu tions , the state depository law , the present high school .law , , and hat ) a dozen other statutes were" each attacked , and will , ; In sequence be. given to the present legislature to wrestle with. The free sliver republicans arc by no means satisfied with their positions on the atandlng committees. Tlu-Ir complaints to night are louder than tho.se of the demo crats. Perhaps the appointment of ICdsou Rich to the chairmanship of the committee on judiciary has mollified the democrats tea a degree , but free silver ropubllcars nro sadly disgruntled. There were no new appointments to posi tions In the house announced today , al though It U known that quite a number will be added to the working farce , and many applicants are on the anxious seat. After adjournment 'lie unuso committee on supplies paid a visit to the- basement of the capltol. Here A. C. Wright , who has been In charge of them since tlio adjourn ment of the legislature of lS9r , showed them some $1SOO worth of supplies left over from the last session. The house and senate will not have to buy any pencils. Ink , pens or enrolling paper. It also transpired that Secretary of State Piper had expended the $500 allowed by law for Immediate supplies In copies of revised ( statutes for each mem ber of the house nnd senate , nnd also for envelopes nnd writing paper. This will bo reported by the committee tomorrow. The result of the meeting of the Bryan presidential electors to.lay. In the governor's office , Is not without political significance. It la understood that OrlofV. . Palm of Lin coln could have been named as the delegate to carry the vote to Wellington. However , as Mr. Palm Is a thrifty young man of ex ceedingly acute business Ideas , he decided to accept a 11,000 clcrkehlp In the state audi tor's office In place of the ephemeral honor of carrying a vote to Washington. It Is said that In ease of c deadlock .Governor Hclcomb would have appointed Palm ns the mcpsenger. The new State Banking board held Its first meeting tonight In the olllcc ot State Treasurer Mcpcrvc. There were pres ent Treasurer Mcscrve , Attorney General Smyth and State Auditor Cornell. The fol lowing were named as bank examiners : G. A. Lulkhart of Norfolk , S. A. Reynolds. Henbcn Llpp and John F. Coad , jr. , of Omaha. Dr. Hall of Mead wa. % nnmcd as secretary of the Banking buanl , to succeed , Klchard H. Townloy. The clerkof tlio board , to succeed Mr. Simmons , was not named at this meeting. It Is understood : that Mr. Simmons will n main for n time , or at least until the annual report cf the board Is complete. ] , nt which he Is now nt work. There Is fald to bo no little disappointment ou the part of democrat. ! at the political complexion of tlio now net of examiners , it was understood that If the democrat/ ) re leased the Buperlnteiidoncy of the Kearney Industrial School for Boys to the populUts that Attorney General Sm > tli , In behalf ot the democrats , should name all four of the examiners. An the list was inado up this evening , hut two dumocratu uro named. It. W , Chamberlain of Tocnrnseh and Sam uel Whiting ot Lincoln , were the choice oC the democrats. The board hafl yet to name two county treasury examiner ? . Ono of these will bo i populist and the other n democrat. The populist candidates include VOBH of Platts- inquth , Kummlns of Lincoln , Archard of Vorlc and Kvcrlnglmm of Omaha , whllo among the democratic aspirants nrc Chamberlain of 1'ecuniEch , Davla of Beatrice , OllclirUt of Nebraska City , and HCCHO of Norfolk. There Is nothing now In relation to the transfer of state treasury funite. Treasurer Mescrvo utalcd tonight that satisfactory progress wuu being made. _ _ _ _ _ _ IICUJ.HU ( JHT.H Wlilif.
