TinO OlSrATTA TATLT ) BEJST ; TTTUKSDAY 1807 Deposition , rolltlcally , ho did not bellevi the republicans could manipulate the enter prlso to their advantage. Mr. Stcbblns ah that the went had not forgotten the glf of $250,000 two years BRO. Now there wen many poor people In Omaha who neede < work. The exposition would assist them The people of hU county up In the sani hills were willing to help Omaha at tlil time. Jones of OBRO tM ho was not In favo of postponing the bill , hut It should be go out of the way somehow. It was bloeltlm the business of the house. Ills constituent In Gage county were In favor of an appro jirlatlon. When Jones sat down there were sovera calls of "question , " but BaRcr of Seward got the floor. Ho dwelt long on the fac that while railroads and other corporation could put tip the prlco of their tickets freight schedules and commodities when the ; eo desired the PDOP or the rich farmer wa obliged to take for his products whatcvc lie could get. Ho hauled his stuff to towi and asked the question , "What will you glvi for It ? " WOOSTKIl OPENS HIMSELF. At the conclusion of Kagor's address Wooalcr moved up In front of the clerk' desk , carrying a 'bundle of hooka tinder lit arm. Ho lho > n proceeded to whoop thing tip. Ho said , wlille admitting that the ex position would build up Omaha , the bulldln ; up of Omaha would pull down other cltle In the state. Lately It had come to hi knowledge that the railroads of NebrnsUi were Against the exposition , The reason fo this was plain. There would bo an attemp made to reduce passenscr trafllo to 1 cent < mile. The roads could not afford to do bust neat on thla basis. The building up o Omaha must bo done at the expense of th railroads and every merchant In the Intcrlo of the state. Wooster struck a nnng when ho opcnci out on Hull. Hull in chairman of the com inlltco on Investigation of tbo treasury Wooster Insinuated that a report of the coin mltteo had been held back on account o this exposition bill. Hull called him dowi find denied It. Wooster equivocated , am said ho had 'not referred to Hull's committee but to another one. Wheeler of Pumas arose and ald ho was chairman of the othe committee and ho denied paint blank th assertions of Wooster. The latter was li a hole. Ho attempted to extricate hi nisei by defiantly reiterating his charges. Work Ing himself Into a white heat Wooster de clared that the proposition to hold n fal In Omaha wats a blow at labor. All wage would go down In the face of compctltloi and great suffering would cnauo on accouu of the exposition. UCCAUSL- the commlttc at Omaha had prepared the original bill , tn members were ridiculed. Itccause its pro visions had not met with Wooster's approva they were charged with deceit. The substl tuto offered by Speaker Gaflln had been prepared pared by Judge C. II. Scott and ConKrcasmai Stark , both frco silver republicans. This wafer for the purpose of catching cmckors. Rvery thing had been done In nil underhanded manner nor , and all for the purpose of deception. ON CONSTITUTIONAL GROUNDS. Again , there was no warrant in the con stltutlon for this measure. He defied an lawyer on the floor to show that the mone ; could bo given to Omaha constitutional ! ) All other appropriation hills had been heli up In order that the members of the houii might violate their oaths and defy the ccnsll tutlon. "It wo vote for this bill , " ho shouted "thoro should bo extrn cells and extra suit of stripes made ready for ua out at the stat penitentiary. " The speaker then made some statement to the effect that the appropriations am claims bills would overrun the amount tha could bo constitutionally levied. Member of both the finance , ways and means aui claims committees called Wooster down 01 his extravagant assertions and practlcall Hooded him. Then the antagonist of the ex position raised the question of mooting th funding bonds * duo April 1 , 1897. Aecnrdlu ; to his story the state treasurer had Infonnci him that the money was , as shown by th books In his otllco , In the state depositor hanks. Uut there was no record that th money was there. LOOKS FOR INFORMATION. Sheldon of Dawcs had questioned th otatamiints of Wooster concerning the aii propriatlons to bo made by the committees Woosler then sent douyi by n page a ques tlon to Treasurer 'Masorvo ' asking him t atato whether or not'there was actually an money 'in ' the depository banks. When th page reappeared the treasurer appeared t liavo Ignored this question , but sent bac a statement that the probable amount tha would be appropriated by the finance , way nnd means committee WAS $1,250,000 , and b the claims committee $100,000 , a total o $1,050,000. This Incited Wooster to remari that the answer was entirely unsatisfactory1 AVooster then bscamo defiant. He charge that. If the amendment of Wlnsjow to in definitely postpone the bill was voted down it would bo. Impossible to fix up the amcndei exposition bill eo that It could be actci upon within t'io three days' time allowei for the Introduction of new bills. While Wooster was In the midst of hi flow of rhetoric , Clark of Lancaster movei that the committee rise , report progress am ask leave to sit again. Pollard wanted to amend to meet thl evening at 7:30. : Clark said aa but few days remained fo the Introduction of bills , It was necessar ; that the commltccs had some opportunity ti meet. Speaker Gaflln said that It would bo ; coed Idea to meet tonight and allow Wooste to "run down. " Wooster flow Into a passion at this am roasted the speaker , saying that when In was out of tlio speaker's chair lie had m moro rights than any other member and hi ropollcd any such personalities as had beci inado by the speaker. Opponents of tbli bill , ho said , had been insulted nnd gaggci on the floor long enough. Ho Old not pro pose to stand it. Pollard's amendment wts lost by a voti of 49 to 39. Clark's original motion wai then lost by a vote of 40 to 38 , ; nd Woostci had the floor. WOULD HOLD UP ALL HILLS. Then ho made a startllnc announcement It was this : That ho proposed to hold thli bill up until It was too late , to introduci the appropriation bills , lint ho had a prop osltlon to make. Ho was willing to have th < bill referred back to the committee , li Before Retiringo. . . take Ayer'a Pills , and you will Bleep better and wake iu better condition for the day's work. Ayer's Cathartic Pills have 110 equal as a pleasant and effect ual remedy for constipation , biliousness , sick headache , and all liver troubles. They arc sugar-coated , and so perfectly prepared , that they cure with out the annoyances experienced ! u the use of so many of the pills on the market. Ask your druggist for Aycr's Cathartic Pills. When other pills won't hftlp you , Ayer's is * . THE PILL THAT WILL. the house would agree to take up the bll next Wednesday he would consent to alloi the house tn go on and transact business For the present ho would yield the floor. Yclscr of Douglas challenged Wooster' proposition on the constitutionality of th bill , Ho said It was perfectly lawful aci constitutional. There were bills pending , h said , taring express , telegraph and tele phone companies which would bring In niucl more than the J200.000 asked by 'tho ' bill. The question was then tipon Wlnslow' motion to Indefinitely postpone. H was dc featcd by a vote of C3 to 1C. U'oostcr moved that the bill be rccom milled to the committee from which It came and made another speech , He said It wa addressed mainly to the reporters. If h understood the Intent of the majority , the ; proposed to hold up all other Icglnlatlo ! until this bill was carried. They cxhlbltci nn Inclination to sacrifice the Interests o the wards and people of the state In be half of the exposition bill. He said he wa willing to modify his demand from Wcdnes day to Monday next for the consideration o It. Ho believed the opponents of the bll would stand by him. Jenkins of Jefferson , one of the oppon cuts , said ho was a fiee lance and wouli outer Into no agreement wllh Woostcr 01 anything. This was a decided snub to Woos ter and he did not eccm to relish It. Spcakc GafTln then proceeded to cinch Woostcr b ; suggesting that the house could cave th time that Woostcr was trying to waste b : taking a recess from day to day instead o adjouni'lng. Iy ) this means the plot o Wooster could bo tolled. IN A PARLIAMENTARY WAR. Smith of Douglas was heartily In favo of the suggestion made by Speaker aaflln The question should be mot and met now. Oaylord , who had been mute all the after noon , now accused Smith of having cauan all the delay , and a wordy war ensued. Clarl renewed hlii motion to rlso and report prog rcss. Pollard moved an amendment to main the hour 7:30 : this ovinilng. Pollard wa downed by a point of order that the questloi h-d. . oncohcen voted cown. Question recil 101 on Clark's motion to rise. This was do featcd by a vote of fifty-five against It. The question was now on Woostcr's mo tlon to recommit the bill for amendment This was defeated by a vote of Ilftytw against it. Clark of Rlchardaon then moved that th committee rlso and ask leave to sit thl evening at 7:30 : for consideration of Hi bill. The motion was lost by a vote of 1 to 39. Clark then moved to rlso and sit again a 10 a. m. tomorrow with tfio bill a specla order. Jenkins said the motion was cow ardly. Chairman Utirtiott declared the mo tlon carried , and the committee rose an > reported. Cronk of Valley moved that the report b not concurred In , but that the house com : > ack this evening at 7:30 : and fight It oul This wns amended , making the hour 9 iin tomorrow and was defeated. Roll call wo demanded on the mot'lui ' to non-concur litho the report , but to meet at 7:30 this evening and it prevailed by a vote of 50 to 47. I was now G:30 : p. m. , and the house took i recess until 7:20 : p. in. this evening. OFFERING AMENDMENTS. Speaker Gaflln called the evening scssloi together at 8:15 : , three-quarters of an hou behind time. Including those nbsent'on com mltteo work , eighty-seven answered to rol call. Speaker Gaflln said the hour had ar rived to go Into committee of the whole o : the special order. Pollard moved to Instruc the committee to limit speeches to twcnt ; minutes. Phelps' motion to table was lost Pollard's motion prevailed and the nous wont Into committee of the whole , will BurkeU In the chair. Jenkins moved the adoption of an amend ment to ssctlon 2 of Gamn's substitute bill that six of the directors named In the sub stltute bill be drawn from the ranks o organized labor. This was ruled out of or dur and Gaflln again presented his substl tuto bill , and then Jenkins renewed hi ; amendment. Considerable jangling occurrei over the fact that damn's substitute hai not been printed , until Gaffln explained tha his bill wns simply an amendment to tin original bill which was printed nnd , ln tin meir.hera' flies. The question was on Jen kins' amendment , and ho got the floor am made a speech In support of it. Clark of Richardson opposed the amend ment. lie thought three members of organ i..cd labor enough. Clark of Lancaster took the opposite view He believed the organized labor of Nebrash should have strength enough on the dlrcc tory to phut out labor competition froi other states. Jenkins' amendment was lost , and Sutto niovil an amendment that the govcrno should appoint six instead of twelve dlrcc tor.3 , one from each congressional dlstrlcl which prevailed. Wlmbcrley of Lancaster moved an amend ment that no mcmbor of this leglslatur bo named as one of the directors. Th amendment carrUO. Zimmerman moved an amendment tha the Board of Public Lands and Dulldlng bo named Instead of six directors to maki the conslracts and carry on the work. Speaker Gaflln opposed this. The burdci cf the cry of the board for fifteen years hai been that It had too much work of this klm to attend to. Zimmerman's amcndmen went by the board and Wlebo of Hall movci to make Its pay $100 per month Insteai of ? 50. This was lost. Casebecr of Gage moved that the director ! bo compelled to give a bond of $10,000 eacl for the faithful performance of their duty Speaker Gallln explained that further read Ing of the bill would disclose that a died on the directors was laid In the lands of tin governor , Casebecr's motion was lost by i vote of 35 to 24. CUTS DOWN THE AMOUNT. Thu reading of section 4 , naming $200,001 as the amount of the appropriation , broughi twenty men to their feet with amendment ! In their hands and shouting "Mr. Chair' man. " Hillings of Keya Paha was recog' nlzcd. Ills amendment was to mnke tin appropriation $100,000 , Yolscr asked If any other amendment ! bad been sent up naming other amounts Ho was answered in the affirmative. Then ho said that all rules of parliamentary usage demanded that the amendment favoring tin largest sum bo acted upon Unit. Chairman llurkctt said that the amend ment would not bo entertained. Speak1 ? ! naffla asked unanimous consent to pcrmll the largest amount to be voted on first \Vocsti-r objected. Ho wanted Hilling amendment voted on first , and If It carried let that fix the amount of the bill. If II should be defeated , ho wanted that to IK taken aa killing tliu bill , This waa an un fair proposition , und ho was told so in plain terms by Ye1s er. A long wrnnglo occurred over this , ami vVonster , who had objected to Gaflln'0 BUR- srotlon , withdrew his objection , with the .mdarf binding that $25,000 drops bo had until i certain amount was carried. Hut Hillings Insisted that ns ho had accidentally got Ills amendment in first. It should first bo voted on. Ths chair held that Hillings' unendmont was In order , and called for a , 'oto on tha $100,000 amount. Hut ho quail- led thlo by stating thnt all the amendments jfferod slinuld be voted on. The vote on nllllngs' amendment cajrled iy 71 ayes. Hillings then moved that the : ommlttco rlso and report progress , The notion was lost. CILLINO OI--P OTHIJK AMENDMENTS.

Tills amendment was defeated , Tbo ipponcnts of tbo bill , having failed , became ibstructlonlsts. They wcro full of schemes or safeguarding the money. Gayloril was me , JcnUlnp another and Woosler a third , cnklns accused Homer of being a lain con- ert. Horner declared that a falsehood , i'bcro was great confusion , but Chairman lurkett succeeded at last In securing order.

It was adopted Thu billvf 3 finally completed , bul Wooster oroso to a final question of prlvl- lego. He repeated his charge made carllei in the day that one night he occupied tht same room with Horner of Dawson and or that occasion the latter stated that ho ( Her ncr ) was opposed to the exposition bill. Hcrner denounced the statement as nn nn qualified falsehood nnd turning to Woostci bo said with emphasis as ho shouted : "I * that plain enough ? " "No , " replied Wooster. "Well , " said Horner , "you are n. liar. " The hous9 waa in an uproar , Wooutei caked the chairman If a member could cal another a liar. The chair asked the gentle men to refrain from personalities.

The real Interest of the morning session commenced when Mr. Oshorn of Pawnee , chairman of the railroad committee , reported several bllln for Indefinite postponement , Ono was Mr. 'leal's measure requiring rail roads to reduce passenger furcs to 2 cents pet mile.
