( Special Telegram ) - Krnator Ransom continued his remarks In the cenatc thin morning on bis motion to Indefinitely postpone the Spencer resolution relative. ' to the payment of the beet sugar bounty. Whrn the senate adjourned yester day Mr. Random was In the middle of his reply lo a question from Senator Conaway of York. The senator from York had nokcdi "If jou ate opposed to the taxation of the people for the payment of a bounty on beet sugar , how can you defend your demand fern n tax upon the whole people for an exposi tion , which will benefit the people of Omaha nlonc ? " Continuing his remarks from yesterday , Senator Ransom said In part : "The sugar bounty Is a private Interest. The exposition Is a public Interest. Every person owning property In the state hftx nn Interest In the exposition. It had to be located somewhere , nnd the Tran.stu'fislsslppl ' congresa decided to locate It In Nebraska. It had to bo loiatcd In some city , and where. 1 may ask , could It bo better located than In Omaha , the metropolis of the state ? The exposition did not originate In the mind of the senator from York. It was conceived In the mind of the greatest leader the American people ever had. That malt was piesldent of the Trans- mlsslFslppI congress , and It was by his elo quence that tbe delegates In that congress from rvrry slate west of the Ml'sUslppI river were induced to endorse the exposition Idea. That limn was William J. Brjan. "Now , I my It In our duty , since this great public enterprise lias boon Inaugurated an enterprise which will advertlsa Ne braska to the union and to the whole world U Is our duty , I icpcat to lend to It hearty support. I Inslrt that I should not be threat ened with the tcnator's opposition to the exposition became I do not favor a sugar bounty This l not my exposition. It la not ft populist exposition. It Is an enter prise , backed by the people of Nebraska nnd of the transinlo'lffslppl region. The bill for its support Is not to bo logrolled through this semte , and It Its fate depends upon my own treachery to the people who demand the repeal of the sugar bounty , then I will Bay that the exposition will have to take Its chances. "Tho exposition ought to stand on Its own merits , nnd If It so stands , H will rise. Tin. beet Migar bounty must also stand on Itc merits , and If tt so stands It will fall. " h At the close of Senator Hansom's remarks the previous question was ordered and the yeas and-naji. were called on the motion tc Indefinitely postpone the Spencer resolution The motion was adopted by a strict partj vote- Most of the republican senators made verbal explanations of their vote , stating thai they did not believe the resolution In any way pledged the senate to the support ol the beet sugar bounty. SI'ENCEU HAS AN EXPLANATION. Senator Spencci sent to the desk and hail read an explanation of his vote which pio- vokcd a lively exchange of courtesies be tween himself and the senators from Doug las county. The explanation was as fallows' "I deslro to say In explanation of my vote that as the mov r of this resolution , I had no aim or desire to commit this body to any future policy or to bins It on any proposed measure. The object of the resolution Is clear. Theie Is no hidden sting or con cealed venom In Its construction. Its adop tion means this : That It Is tbo sense of a majority of this body that our honorable Senator , William V. Allen , Is a broadminded - minded , level-headed , public-spirited Ne- brnskan , one who is willing to throw aside petty party prejudices foi the good of the commonwealth ho represents. Its adoption Is also an assertion by the majority of the body that It believes In a state's Integrity , not by proclaiming It throughout the state from political stumps , but by their official nets lo Inculcate the political doctrlnea which they have piofesbed. I can see no reason why any demociat or populist bhould oppose Its adoption. I do see bonic cxeusc for the acts of the able senator who moved for Its Indefinite postponement. He Is neither a republican , democrat or populist Ho Is n political what-Is-lt. Ho owes alle giance to no particular party and possibly professes no political creed Ills motives uro thcicfoie best known to himself. I be- lluvu that the passage of this resolution In Its present form would not only tend to enhance the credit ol the state , but would ilsn , In a mcasme , corroborate the recently published Interview with our governor. The question of the perpetuation of the sugar bounty Is not a part of this resolution. That Is n separate and distinct question which hns been used as an argument to defeat this motion. I say , If you are sincere In what you have politically taught , adopt this resolution If not , kill It and bury" It so deep as to forever conceal , If possible , your political sophistry. " Before the reading of the explanation was completed Senator Howcll sprang to his feet nnd with some asperity In his voice , de nounced the author and moved that that part of the explanation referring to Senator Ransom bo stricken from tbo records. Senator Spencer Insisted that ho meant no discourtesy to the senator from Douglai Senator Ransom stated with no little heat In the Inflection of his voice that as far as his motives were concerned , they were his own and could not be called In question by any man. Ho declared that ho had been cloctcil by the people ot Douglas county in the face of the most determined opposi tion over met by a candidate. In conclusion ho asserted that If Senator Spencer held the views expressed In his written explana tion ho had no right to a scat In the senate. That part of the senator's explanation which reflected upon Senator Ransom was by vote stricken from the record. ENDORSES ALLEN'S Sl'EECH. Senator Fcltz of Keith then offered the following resolution : Whereas , There nppeared In the prebs dls. jmtehes , on November 21 , liiHt , u ropoitcd Bpevnli delivered In lioston by Senator Honi of MiiSMiiuluiHUttH , reflecting on the credit , Htnmllng nnd honor of Ni'briiHka , unii Implying ( but the lesult of the Into elec tion In this suite was the result of u crazy attempt nt revolution , nnd u passionate criiHiulo of dishonor , nnd Whereas , Tin.genuinetit therein oxprehscd VVUH only u lelteratlon of the sentiment oxpioHBoil by the republican press of thU Btatc , nnd U'hereiiH , In nnavvcr to paid speech oui honorable guimtor , William V.

WORK ON THE GENERAL KILE. The ccnato then went Into committee of the whole for the consideration of bills on general file , with Senator Kcltr In ( ho chair. The first bill taken up was senate file No. 0. Introduced early In the session by Mr. Murphy of Gage. It makes a indlcal change In the matter of summoning Juries for dis trict courts. Instead of uummonlng the Jury for the first day of the term , as , under the present sjstem , tbe law proposed by Senator Murphy provides that the Judge may fix a certain day of the term for the summoning of the Jury. The bill Is urged by a largo number of the district Judges of the state. The committee voted to recommend the bill for passage. The committee then took up senate file No. 4G , to require street railway companies to vestibule their cars. Senator Ransom of Omaha , the author of the bill , spoke vig orously In favor of the measure. He stated that the president of the Omaha Street Rail way company had been In Lincoln to tell the senators that the motormcn and conduc tors of the Omaha lines were opposed to the bill. Senator Ransom denied this fact. The sentiment of the committee evidently favored the passage of the bill and a motion to rise and report with the recommendation that It pass was cirrlod. After recess the senate Immediately went Into committee of the whole with Senator Beal In the chair. Concurrent resolution No 1 , offered by Senator Dearlng of Cas , directIng - Ing the attorney general to Institute legal proceedings ti > enforce the statutes against the elevator trusts. The resolution cites that there Is In Nebraska nn association or com bination of persons organized for the purpose of controlling the prices of grain ; that the combination extends over the entire state , and that the owners or losses of elevators must agree to a common price to bo pild for grain of all kinds before they can secure sites for their elevators. The committee recommended the resolution for passage. Senate file No. 13 , introduced by Senator Ransom of Omaha , was , after a brief de bate , recommendeJ for passage. It reduces the salaries of the county commissioners of Douglas and Lancaster counties from ? 1SOO per annum to $1,500. Senate file No. 14 , also by Mr. Ransom , was , after a long discussion , recommended for passage. This Is the bill which narrowlj escaped defeat the other clay. It reduces the number of county commissioners In Douglas county from live to three. When tbe bill was up for passage the other day , twenty- two senators voted against It and Senator Ransom only saved It by having It recom mitted. The only objection expressed waste to the feature of the bill requiring the elec tion of the commissioners by the voters of the county at largo Instead of by districts. The provision was changed , and tbo bill again placed on general file. Senator How ell opposed In a brief talk the proposal to elect the commlssloneis by districts , but did not press the point. Senator Talbot of Lancaster , after a protracted discussion , succeeded In getting an amendment making an exception In favor of his county. As the bill now stands , commissioners of every county In the state , except Lancaster , are to bo elected by districts. The bill was recommended for pas age. ' The committee listened to the reading of senate file No. 52 , by Mr. Dsarlng of Cass relating to the road law , but rose without action. The senate then adjourned until 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. I'OIMII.ISTS Sl'AR VOIl POSITION. MiiJorKy lJo < ltr < - n Vote < m the II1I1 to Hccoiiiit Aiiiviiilniont VotrH. LINCOLN , Jan. 29. { Special ) The sparring for position today between the ma- Joilty and mlnoilty elements of the houao v/ns Interesting and at times dramatic. The sport began when Clark of Lancaster callcd ( for the report of the committee on engrossed and enrolled bills. This brought Severe of Otoo to his feet with the long-lost document Piovldltig for a recount of the votes cast on the amendments. The report read to the effect that the bill had been found properly engrossed and enrolled. But Hull waa In the house. Ho Immediately protested , and said Severe was mistaken. There was a smail error 'In the figures , lie explained that a figure G had been written 3 The house fought over the ground far nearly two hours , and the bill was finally sent back to the committee' of the whole for correction It is generally understood that the bill has been entirely rewritten under the direction of Judge Maxwell , and will reippear en tirely transformed fiom the printed copy now In the hands ot the members. Clark of Itlchardion made a great fight against the ether Clark of Lancaster , on the letter's chlckon bill and practically snatched victory from defeat. DELAY BEGINS EARLY. Ninety-seven members answered to roll call this morning but three of the list being absent. The gavel of Speaker Gaflln fell at 10:1C. : There had been eonslderablo caucuss- Ing among the members and apparent In decision as to what was to he the aider of business for the morning session. An at tempt was made to dispense with reading the Journal , but It failed. U bcemed as though tlmo had lost Its value and was a drug on the market. Following the tedious reading of the Jour nal , Mr , Sheldon , at 11:10 : , moved that the house go Into committee of the whole to consider bills on general file and the mo tion prevailed. Bernard ( jot the floor , and wanted to know If tbo bill clerks were on strike. He com- plalnuil that no bill llo ) was on his desk , and this was found to bo the case with others. The pages were sent scurrying up stairs after them , anil Chief Clerk Kagcr announced as first on ( ho general flic house roll No. 99. This Is a measure to punish chicken stealing , and making the offense a felony , and punishable as grand larceny. There was developed a strong op position to tills' bill , and Roddy of Otoo de nounced It In vigorous terms. An attempt was made to amend by Inserting cats dops , ducks , gcebo , turkeys and other animals. After considerable Joking and hilarity , ev' . dently for the purpose of killing time , the bill , as amended , was recommended for passage , House roll No , 02 , which was next consid ered , 1s by Rich of Douglas and provides for the publication of applications for liquor licenses In any newspaper of general cir culation published In the county wherein ( ho Application is made , Debate on the measure continued until the noon hour when the house rose , and without adopting the report of the committee the house took a rece.ss until 2 p. in , At 215 p. in. the hausa reconvened. Fol lowing roll call Clark of Lancaster rose to a question of order. Ho desired to ) > o In formed If the speaker would rule that { he adjournment of the house before the report of the committee of the whole suspended that report. The speaker replied that It did not , and that the report would now be In order. When the motion to adopt the report of the committee ot the whole was made Clark of Richardson moved an amend ment that the report be not adopted. In explanation of his vote Kermnv of Adams said that ho owned chickens , but U every one of the-in should bo taken In one night ho would hosltftto A long while brforo sending the man who stele them to the penitentiary. He believed the penalty too severe for the crime. Clark of lllchard- con tald that It the bill became n law tt would causa dissensions In neighborhoods anil pave the way for a long list of simitar measures which would put petty offenders In state's prison. The vote on Clark's amendment that the report bo not adopted wns by ayes and nave and resulted 51 to 41 In favor of the amendment. The report as amended by Clark was then adopted , BRINGS OUT THE RECOUNT BILL. Speaker Gaflln then announced bills on third reading. Clark of Lancaster then de manded that a report bo had from the com- mlttco on enrolled and engrossed bills , Clerk Eager read the report to the effect thftt house roll No. G , which provides for a recount ot the vote on the constitutional amendments , had been found correctly en grossed and enrolled. After this was read Hull ot llarlan Interposed with the state- wen that Severe , chairman of the committee , was mistaken , nnd that there were mistakes In the bill. He wanted to send It back for cuircctlon. Jenkins Interposed an objection that It was two late In tbo day. Ho moved that the chief clerk1 ba Instructed to correct all cirors. Hull Insisted that the clerk had no power to do BO. Clark ot Lancaster raised the point that If this be true , there was no power to pass the hill , and that It was therefore a dead letter. Rule 47 In house rules provides that when a bill has reached third reading and has been engrossed and enrolled It can not then be recommitted. Jcnklna again Insisted on his point that no power but that of the house , Instructing Us clerk , could correct this bill. He begged the members to act like men and face the question from a business point ot view. Speaker Gntllu then made his ruling. He said that when he had met with the commit. tec on rules this question had come up. He had then stated that only when a mistake had been discovered at a certain time should a bill , which had reached third reading , be committed for specific correction. He cald ho should rule so In the present Instance. Pollard of Cass then got the floor and made a stirring speech. He said It had come to a point when the woodchucks should como out ot the brush. There was politics In this thing , and it was high time to set tle It. Clark of Lancaster then moved that the bill bo Immediately recommitted for amend ment nt once. Hull raised the point that the motion was out of order and that the bill must be re committed to the committee of the whole for amendment. The point of order was declared well taken. The question was on the motion and the ajes and najs were demanded : The vote In detail : Cox. Absent and not voting : GraniMaff , f-clirnm , \Vlcbc-S. Mitchell. Tnslor. JENKINS BEATEN AGAIN. Then Jenkins moved that the house go Into committee of the whole for the specific purpose of correcting house roll No. G. He said that this motion was In the Intercsi of business. Hull protested that there wore other bills that might be taken up , and everybody laughed. Sheldon -was alert nnd quick to gain his legs. Ho moved as an amendment that the house proceed with the regular order. The motion was declared out of order and the ayes and nays demanded on Jenkins' mo tion. This was defeated by a vote of 62 to 32. 32.The majority and minority reports of the committee on privileges and elections were then piesented and read. On completion of the reading of the two reports Hull moved thai as they were now before the house they be made a special order for tomorrow at 10 30 a. m. House of Hall seconded the motion and It was car ried without dissent. The following reports from special com mittees were ordered to tha general file- House roll No. 62 , providing for the man agement of secret benevolent societies. House roll No. 37 , relating to ditches and highways. The following bills wcro Indefinitely post poned : House roll No. 86 , providing for In vestment' of funds of life and accident In surance companies ; house roll No. 22 , pro viding for reduction In fees and salaries of county officials ; house loll No. 127 , pro viding for a state sugar beet factory ; house roll No. 34 , providing for the maintenance of farmers' Institutes. House roll No. 174 , creating a public library committee , and providing for a sys tem of tiavellng libraries was recommended for passage , as was the substitute for No 117 , providing for the temporary Issue of nonlnterest bearing warrants upon the state treasury. The house then adjourned until 10 a. ra. tomorrow. OIIj l.VSI'KCTOIl niMIISTOVS IICI'OUT. IVni-k of < In- OlllriIn IK-diil nnil Itrc- niiniiiliilloiiH fniIniproA CIIKMII. LINCOLN , Jan. 29.

LINCOLN , Jan. 29. ( Sprclal Tele gram. ) Treasurer Mescrvo Mia1 : ! boon In charge of state flnnncos foVthreo weeks , and general fund warrants' have risen three points. There Is every pros pect that the certificates of state Indebtedness will float at par within a few \\ceks. T\\o dajs before ho retired from omco ex-Treasurer IJarley called In $300,000 In outstanding warrants , despite the fact that the money to cash them was locked dp In the depository banks , from which , It was loudly proclaimed , It could not bo drawn without precipitating a panic. Treasurer Meservo has cashed about $125,000 of the total amount called In by his predecessor , and sees his way clear to making another call within a few days. The next call will probably bo for $50,000 , although It may bo somewhat larger. Treasurer Mescrvo has adopted n radical policy , the stringency In the money situation being duly considered , and will reduce the floating Indebtedness as rapidly as possible. Ex-Treasurer Hartley continues to turn over the pumancnt school funds In dally In stallments , and while the amount still In his hands Is large , It Is being steadily reduced. The Hoard of nducatlonal Lands and Funds has as yet taken no definite step for the Investment , either permanent or temporary , of this fund. The last Investment was made on January 4 , thrco days before the Inaugu ration of the new administration. On that day the Saunders county refunding bonds vvcro purchased to the face value of ? 100- 000. These bond- were paid for by Treasurer Hartley by n draft on New York , drawn by one of the larger banking Institutions In the state. About one-half of the county treasurers have made their annual settlement with the state treasurer since January 10. They have until Febn.aiy 10 to complete their settle ments. Neither Douglas nor Lancaster coun ties have settled as yet. The settlement of the treasurers of these two big counties will greatly relieve the treasury situation In fact , the etoto Is already out of deep water and Is wading toward shore Instead o ; swimming. State warrants on the general fund ore today quoted at 9S cents. Three vveeki ago they were at 95 ) .i ni5YMAY M3Ki > LOOKING i.vro.

( Special Tele gram. ) There Is the promise ot the biggest kind of a sensation In legislative circles over the rumored attempt of Bomo agents of the lobby to hold up several of the big Omaha corporations.

According to the same report these self-constituted guardians of the corporation Interests dfcsert that they dictated the appointment of the committees In both houses and can control the action of these committees In such n way that the bills can be smothered in tile pigeonholes that have sheltered similar bills In previous sessions. 3 The bill affecting the Qinaha Street Hall way company , which requires that company to vestibule Its cars , is Senate file No 4C It was introduce , ! by SenHlor'prank Hansom and was referred to the laborcpmmlttee , ol which ho Is chairman. > < It1 is , ono of the two bills on general ( lie , having been reported from the committee with thorrecommondation that It piss.

LINCOLN , Jan. 29 ( Special Telegram ) - Senator How ell's charter is now before the Omaha public , and Its authors invite all per sons Interested to visit Lincoln at any time In the near future for the purpose of exami ning It from all points of view. Senator How ell said this morning that ho had not as yet fixed any particular date for a charter hearing. He will , however , consult freely with any persons who may wish to urge objections to any of Us fpaturcH. Ho has already consented to a few changes , but he declines to change any of th < j important features. The strongest objection so far urged against the charter Is the provision Getting the municipal election In April Instead ot November. This change will necessarily legislate the present i ester of city olllclals out of ofllce , and every coi'ncllmin Li fight ing the propcsltlon. Senator Howcll declines emphatically to recede from the position ho has taken with reference to the spring election. Ho sajs that If the opponents of the April election wish to light ho will meet them on the floor of the senate and allow the charter to stand or fall , as a party measure. Up to the present writing no one haj appeared In Lincoln to object to the engineer- In ? and public works features of the charter. The main fight is , us already elated , on the political features , Many city councilman from Omaha have filed their objection to the proposition to cut tlicln terms of office eight months short , and the contest seems to cen ter around this point.

I'roiinKiilN for Soldier1 Homo nt Mil- fnril Conflict T\lih AKrccnicnt. QltAND ISLAND , Jan. 29. ( Special. ) The matter of Soldlero' homo legislation Is being quite freely discussed here , and It la be ginning to bo felt that there Is a disposition In certain quarters not to keep faith with the city of Grand Island , which at the tlmo of the location of the Soldiers' homo In tbla city gave a whole secHon of land , with the distinct understanding that It was to bo made the exclusive homo for the veterans In this stato. It Is understood that quite an active lobby Is at work at the capital In the Interest of the Mtlford scheme , and that Its breath Is not at all unlikely to burst a few of the numerous reform air castles that have so proudly been reared. While any statement relative to the merits or demerits of such legislation coming from Grand Island will perhaps bo charged with emanating from an Interested source , It jet remains the absolute truth that there has at no tlmo been Just excuse for establishing another home for soldiers In this state. And the failure of the populist reform legisla ture to abolish that homo will debar It from the right ever to claim that economy Is one of Its slogans. The past few jears have driven many veterans to the homo who would otherwise mover have entered Its pro tective' portals , and the number ot Inmates Is now large , compared to what It In nil probability will be as soon as the times and conditions Improve. And even should such Improvement not arrive , there Is room In the homo In this city for the comfortable hous ing of at least 125 more veterans The num ber of Inmates at the present tlmo Is 2GG. It lo understood that theie are about twenty- five at the Mllford home. These and at least a hundred more can bo taken excellent care of hero for less than It will take to keep them In clothing and food at Mllford. Were the furniture IH the Mllford home to be put In the empty or nearly empty rooms nt the homo In this city , and an appropriation made for as much more as can be comfort ably placed , It Is absolutely safe to say that not one applicant In the next two > ears would have to bo turned away on account of no room , and that there would bo not the least crowding. It will certainly be a new thing In the history of the states If Ne braska shall decide to maintain two homes when PJCI ! states as Ohio , with from 1,200 to l.SOO Inmates , has only one. It has been suggested here , that should the legislature decide to violate the agree ment with Grand Island , by voting to create the useless expenditure necessary for the maintenance of the Mllford branch , the pay ment of salaries of the officers and em ployes , and in part for the support of the Inmates , a bill will be Introduced asking for a refunding of the amount put up by thU < city for the homo located here. The management of the Soldiers' home has completed harvesting Ice. This vcar , for the first time , this was done from the lake ot the grounds of the homo site , where a fins little lake has been built. The Ice Is not only of an excellent quality , but a con- slderablo amount has thus been saved , an heretofore the Ice had always to bo hauled for a distance of several miles. .i. Lni'SA's suicinn.
