THE OMAHA BATL.Y Blffi WEDNESDAT , INFAHCl ! 10 , 1807. * noon recess , aprco'ng to take up the bill agali Immediately after dinner. After recess the ecnato went Into commit t99 of the whole to resume consideration o senate file No. 352 , a bill Introduced by Mr Uundas of Nctnaha to provide for the afi keeping of public funds belonging to thi state , In the hands of the elate treasurer o other state cfflcer * . Under the provision o the bill the State Board ot Public Lands am Buildings la directed to construct In tin ctato houno a flro and burglar proof vault protected by electrical apparatus nnd watch v tnen. After the vault Is constrtisted tin treasurer Is required to keep all stale fundi deposited In It. The bill wns drawn by Lieu tenant Governor Harris. Mr. Caldwell of Nuckolls brought the bll iboforo the committee for discussion by mov Ins that when the commute rise It report thi till back to" the ecnato with the recotntncmla tlon that It bo Indefinitely postponed. Ho sale he did not deslro to apeak al length ag.tlns the measure , but would merely enter hli protest against the passage of the act. Hi Bald that In his opinion the bill was rni which would have been all right had It bcei passed fifteen years ago. To pasa It At Mil ; tlmo would be to bring upon the state thi 1 greatest disaster that over happened to It | It would bankrupt every bank In tha ftt > l ( and bring Irretrievable ruin upon the people Mr. Qoudrlng opposed the bill , and pointed f out many defects. Ono of the strongest ob jections to his mind was the provision whlcli placed the state funds In a vault , to which the members of the Hoard ot Public Land : nnd Buildings had equal access with the citato trasurer. rilOTKCTION AGAINST PUBLIC THIEVES Mr. Haller made a vigorous defense ot the bill. Ho said the tlmo had come In the history ot the state ) when some law should bo passed that would defend the taxpayers from thieves and embezzlers. Every prop erty owner who took money to the count ) treasurer to pay taxes did so with the ab- noluto conviction that the money would be stolen , Ofllclal bonds , ho declared , were farcical , because every state and count ) treasurer gave bonds as worthless as straw. Under the laws of the state every man or n treasurer's bonds put his property out ol his own name at the flrst sign ot danger The state treasury was bankrupt today. The Btato Itself had excited the distrust ol every Investor In the cast. He thought the lime had coino to get back to first principle * and ho was therefore strongly In .favor ol -ctio bill under discussion' . Mr. Howcll thought the bill was Introduce ! In good faith , but ho was opposed tp It. , Tin state had lost no money by reason of thi fallure > of banks , but because ot the ells honesty of the ntato officials. Mr. Farrell of Merrlck said lie did not wanl to vote against the bill , but that ho wa ! not yet prepared to vote tor It. The genera Idea of the bill , he thought , was all right but there were crudities about It that won objectionable to him. Mr. Uumlas agreed with the senator Iron Merrlck. Ho thought the bill should bo fur ther discussed and amended. Ho thcrefort * offered an amendment that the commlttei ' ' " report progress and ask leave to sit again Air. Johnson of Clay opposed any furthoi discussion and thought the bill should b < disposed of at onco. Mr. Watson of Sallno said the first thin ; that ought to bo done was to repeal tin state depository law , and that It that law had been repealed four years ago the state would be $2,000,000 ahead at the presonl tlmo. As far as the bill under discussion was concerned ho thought that little tlmo shoule bo wasted for there was no likelihood tha' ' the state would have any money to put It a vault for three of four years to come. The dl.ictiEsIon was ended by the adoptlot of a motion to continue the consideration o the bill Thursday morning nt 10 o'clock. Thi committee then rcae only to resit again aftei reporting. The balances of the afternoon was spent ti consideration of the new penitentiary bill and when the committee rose It recom mended the bill for passage , and the scnati adjourned. HOUSE COvTTllS MUCH GHOUM1 AVIdc HaiiKro of I.CKlxIntloii During the Day. LINCOLN , March 9i ( Special. ) On the opening , of the session this morning , the forty-seventh day , Hull moved that the liouso gp lulb/ccunrnltteo 'of the whole to consider bllls qn the ! general flic. This pre vailed and Gayl6rd was Invited to the chair. House roil No. 267 , by Gaffln , was first considered. The bill Is for an act to pro hibit corporations frc-ni contributing money to Inlluenco or control elections. The bill wag recommended to pass. Senate file No. 102 , by Graham , la for an net to dcflno a legal newspaper. Following Is the bill : Section 1. That no newspaper shall be considered a. lejjal nuvyspaper for the pub lication of legal nnd other olliclal notices unless the same shall have ti bonn ( idc circulation of at least 2JO copies weekly and bo printed wholly or In part In an olllcc maintained at the place or publication. Sec. 2. That section 31)72 ) of the Compiled Statutes of the state oC Nebraska for the year 1S)5 ! ) bo and the same la hereby' re pealed. Jenkins moved that the bill bo recom mended to pans. Casebeer ol .Gago moved an amendment that It be Indefinitely post poned. Cuaebcer said he spoke In favor of legitimate newspapers , Under the proposed law any jljncrow sheet could be passed oft as a newspaper , and the bulk of-tho composi tion might bo done In some "p.atent lusldcn" ofllco away from the real place of publica tion. The L'ill ' opened a wlJo Held for fraud , Clark of Lancaster read the provisions of the old law , us It now stands , which con- , , , cluslvoly proved , ho said , that no Injustice * ' was done In that law to the bona fide pub lishers of bona fldo newspapers. It' provides that a legal newspaper Is ono that has been Issued regularly for fifty-two weeks , nut this does not apply to counties In which 'not nioro than ono paper Is published , or 'In counties where none Is Issued , It simply protected the man who had built up a legiti mate paper. OPINIONS OF EXPERTS. Grosvenor of Hamilton opposed Clark. He said ho was surprised that a member of the republican party , which was In favor of a high protective tariff , should refuse a llttlo pro tection to the Infant "Industry of newripapcrs. Sholdan of Dawqs , a newspaper publisher himself , said there wcro two strong and well defined sides to the question , nnd ho was undecided as to which was the stronger. On the wholeho thought that a certain number of months , say three or six , might ba made npccwsary to a , legal paper , but ho was of opinion that fifty-two wi-oks was too long. The true test of a legal newspaper should bo Its quality and circulation. Woostcr moved an amendment that a "bona fldo" subscriber should bo ono who had paid his subscription a year In advance. ' Eager had another amendment to the ef fect that a paper should not lose Its legal status , provided It did not miss more than Rlx Issues u year In Its publication. Both these amendments went by the board , and were voted down. Webb had another bill on the Hamo subject. Eastman wanted the bill under consideration killed and NVobb'u acted upon In the future.

This Is known as the "graduated fee bill , " and Increases the fees of both the auditor's and secrotarj of state's olllccs. The object of the measure Is to make than * offices self-supporting. The bill passed with the emergency clause bj 84 to 1 , Sutton of Pawnee saying ho was opposed to discriminating against corpo rations which desired to reorganize them selves. Senate file No. 102 , the bill defining o legal newspaper , and which was dlscussod .this mornlijg In committee of the whole was called up and put upon Its passage The bill failed to pass with the cmergencj obtuse , receiving but Gl votes to 33 agalnat It was then put upon Its passage wlthoul the emergency clause and failed to pass by a vole of 47 to 31. House roll No. 142 , by Hull , provides foi an act to regulate the manufacture and sail of vinegar , to prevent deception and fraui therein , .and to provide penalties for vlolatloi of the act. The bill was passed by a veto o 79 to 3. Kouso of Hall sent up a bill for 521.71 traveling expenses and per diem In vlsltlnf state Institutions. This was In accord.inci with a resolution passed early In the sesslor that all Mils for such expenses be audltot and paid on on .order by the house. Sodornm raised the point of order that the constitu tlon was very strict upon the matter of pay ment of members , and that they could no' ' draw more than $5 per diem tor sixty days Wheolcr of Furnas aslccd House If he die not think the other committees In session Ir Lincoln during that tlmo were entitled tc extra pay. House replied that he thoughl they were. Homer of Dawson took Issue or this point. He cyposcd the bill. Jenklni favored It. Ho aald the tlmo spent by Roust was during an adjournment of the house , am that , as a business transaction , It was nc more than right that members ot the house doing extra work should receive extra pay Considerable opprsltlon was manifested te payment of the bill , nnd In the midst of tin discussion the previous question waa sprung debate was shut off , and roll call detnander on the payment of Rouse's bill for $21.75 Payment of the bill was refused by a vote of 56 to 26 , and forty-five minutes of time hac been consumed. Robertson of Holt then moved that the bli : bo allowed with the exception of the $2 ( .per diem Item. This would'-leave the expenses - penses $1.75. house wanted to withdraw the whole bill , but the speaker said he couK not do so. The bill , ho said , was the propertj of the house , .and It could do whit it pleased with it. but upon a showing made by Rouse he decided to allow the b'll ' to be returned _ to mm , ' The use of representative hall for the Union Veteran League on the evening ol March 12 , was granted to that' organization , IN COMMITTEE OK THE WHOLE. The house then went Into committee ol the whole with Rouse In the chair. Con- sidoratlon of liouso roll No. 2GD was resumed at the point where It had been left at the noon hour. McCrackeu of Franklin moved . , the c ° n n > lttco rcao It report the bill for Indefinite postponement. Zlmmer- vman of York moved an amendment recom mending the bill for passage. This latter was decided out of order , and the question recurred on the motion of Mr. McCrackon. Thla was lost. Loomls of Duller moved that the bill be referred back to the committee for amend ment. The motion was carried. House roll No. 353 , by Whce'.or , provides for the payment by counties of the premium on bonds of county treasurers where such bonds are executed by a surety company authorized by tho'lawn of Nebraska to ex ecute such bonds. Tt Is provided that such premium shall not exceed one-half of 1 per cent per annum of the penalty stated in the bond. This is ono of a series of bills on the same lino. It elicited a prolonged discussion. Yclser bitterly opposed the bill. His principal reason for th.'a course was tliat the bill proposed to Introduce into the state a new system of Insurance. Clark nt Lane-as ter said , In reply to this , that an Individual bond wca almost valueless. On the other hand a surety company was In the business to make money , The moment a eurcty com pany defaulted In the payment of ono of Its policies that moment It becrimo bank rupt and Its po'wer to maku money ceased. The surety companies , ho said , wfitehed carefully the condition of county treasuries. They did so In Lancrster county , where the treasurer was under a surety company's bond , Individual bondsmen never walked Into a treasurer's olllce and demandcel to look at his books. If a treasurer defaulted they followed htm all over the earth so Ioig as ho was above cround. Pollard said that ho desired to advance a fo\v reasons In favor of the bill. The fact was that all county and state treasurers were dependent upon the bankers and moneyH ! men of the counties and stato. Then the first thing a treasurer knew he was In the > hands of his bondsmen and they demanded the custody of the state and county funds In their banks , Mr. Pollard directed attention to the fact that a largo portion of the bondsmen of ex-Stato Treasurer Dartley were on the bond of the present state treas ure , Mcfccrve. Ho said there weru men there qualifying for $900,000 who were not worth $200,000. Ho sold hov was glad Mr. Meservo was In the room , as he desired to attack no man behind bis back , The bill waa recommended to pass , House roll No. 351 , 'by Wheeler , providing for the payment of premiums on the guaranty bond of state treasurers was also recommended to pass. The committee then took up house rolls Noa , 301 to 320 Inclusive , by Rich , and all bearing upon the question of guaranty se curities for treasurers and other ofllcials. On motion It was decided to read them by titles and recommend them for passage In o bunch. The only one on which there was a break was the ono providing that saloon lte pcrs might give a guaranty bond company's security , This , however , was recommended for passage after eorao dis cussion. The committee rose and reported. Ilefore the report was adopted the house adjourned until 10 a. m. tomorrow. DUXUDIS 1'I.AUU IS r\TKHiSTKI ) .

Oreonlee e this city , toelay went before the commlesln engaged In recounting the vote on the auieni1 Client relating to the Increase of judge : nnd urged fho board ot canvassers to allot them to have a representative present to wll ness the canvassing of iho vote. Mr. Lamberfson e ld that there were enl two republltans upon the board ; that tt wa customary where a canvass was made t votes to allow representatives from clthe yarty tu watch the- count of the vote. Th statutes in some Instances especially r * quired the canvass to bo public. The ques tlon whether the constitutional amend ment was carried was of vital concern to al the people of the state. According to th canvass ot the boards ot several countle and 'tho state board It had failed to carr by 30,000 votes , and It this commission afte the canvaea by the boards of several countle and the state board should declare that 30 , 000 moro votes had been returned for I than had been returned by the other boards It would excite wide comment unless all par tics were satisfied that the recount and can yass ot the volts waS fairly conducted. Mr. Bowlby of Saline county asked whetho such representative , If admitted , would exer else the right to object to the counting o any particular ballot If be thought it wa ! wrongfully counted , or whether he wlshee such representative to simply witness thi count , Mr * 'LaiTibcrtson said , that In hli opinion , the representative appointed by thi republicans or on bohalD of nny other part ] should have the risht to object to what hi believed to bo an error In thecount. . Mr. Hawlby said that would Interfere will the count of the vote and with the performance anco of the duties of the board of canvasser ! and would obstruct nnd delay the announce ment of the result. Mr. Lambcrtson then asked It they wouli allow some person to watch the count of UK vote without objection. Mr. Bowlby said he would not favor that , for the reason thai such person , If not eatlMled with the vote would go out nnd state his objections to the press and the people without having made any objection before the board. OPINION OF MR. PORTER. Secretary of State Porter paid , that the re publicans had two members on the board and that they were competent to protect the Interests of the republicans , as they had D check on the count. Mr. Oberfeliler of Sidney said that he was appointed ; ijs , a democrat and without liavlnt sought the appointment. Ho \ ould not con KHU to an , > c.nei beirg present , because I1 v , ould prrticaljy bo a confession that th' board w snot < , con-.ieti.lnt to count the vote wltlcut assistance. Mr. Lambcrtsqn said , "Are you a gold dem ocrat , or a ryajj democrat ? " Mr. Oberfeldei said there was no other democracy than the Bryan dempcr cy , and ho was a Bryan dem ' ocrat. Mr. La'mjbertson said , "Then you are In reality , a , populist , and your statemenl sustains my assertion that Including the secretary - rotary of state ; there are flvopdpulUt mem bers of this board to two republicans , anc ! therefore wo ar 5Esklnguiothlng unreasonable for ; another , rcprnsontatlvo of the republicans to watch tlwj proceedings of tbp board.

Mr. Hedlund eald that he. thought that th ? governor should decide the ejucvsflon whether any one should be appointed. Art1 : ' Lambert- son said that the ' governor having appointed the board , his 'duty .was done , and It was the duty of the board ot canvassers to make the appointment or reject it. The chairman ol the board sad | that.two or three applications of the kind made by Mr. Lambertson had been made by others on behalf of the repub licans and rejected , and ho was In favor ol rejecting this 'application. Before making a dual decision , at the suggestion of the boare ] Mr. Lambcrtson and Mr. Greenlee withdrew. Subsequently the board decided not to com ply with the request ol Mr. Lambortson untl of other rcpub Iqans. Messrs. Lambe'rtson and Greenleo later called on the "pbvqrnor and asked him whether ho would not advise the board to allow a representative of the republican party to be present and witness the count. The governor said that ho ba/1 no authority In the matter , that his. duty was done when the board was .appointed and they had full control. Mr. Lamberteon said afterwards that the board , while It pretended to be a nonpar- tlsan commission , was In fact a partisan commission. Tho- law gives full power to the majority. Flvo members of the board were either populists or Rryan democrats ; all these five members voted for Neville and Klrkpatrlck for supreme judges on a fusion ticket. "If there had been any pretense of fair ness , " continued Mrl Lambertson , "at least three members" the commission should have been republicans. Moro than that the republicans should have been asked to choose their representative. Chairman PaH sent a list of twenty prominent republicans to tha governor and asked him to appoint the members of the board from that list. The governor refused to appoint any one of thorn. The refusal of the govenor to ap point men recommended by Chairman Post , the refusal of the board to announce the result of the canvass from day to day , the refusal of the board to allow newspaper reporters to be present and publish the proceedings of the board , and the refusal to allow the republicans to have a repre sentative present to witness the count U sure to create an Unfavorable Impression. It after these refusals of the board and governor the result declared by the -board aball exceed ( ho result previously declared by 30,000 vofW , tjib correctness and fairness of the canviss''a/o sure to be challenged. I may eay tfiaL , the manner In which- the recanvass and''recount . ' Is being conducted Is wholly unsatlsfafctpry 'to ' the republicans. " ' GARBLED , fg'pUNTINO IN NANCE.

I.OXOTV Committee IleeojiiinctiilN More Poiver for Attorney General. CHICAGO , March 9. A special to the Times-Herald from New York eays : The Loxow Investigating committee hold a long session yesterday and finally adopted the re port as drawn by Senator Lexow. The re port attacks trusts In vigorous language , pointing out their evils and dangers , but It reaches the conclusion that under decisions of the courts no new laws can bo passed to curtail the powers of combinations of capital without conflicting with the clauses of the federal legislation which declare the rights of property and of contract. Therefore the committee , strongly as It feels the need of further restriction , Is forced to content Itself with the recommendation that the powers of the attorney general bo enlarged so as to give him greater opportunities to discover whether the existing law forbidding combina tions In restraint of trade Is being vle/ated. The Inability of small producers to compete with such combinations as the Sugar trust Is instanced as one of the most objectionable results of consolidation of Interest. The ovaslon ot taxes , tbo watering of capital stock and the manipulation of trust stock In Wall street are alluded to. Senator MeCarron , ono of the minority members of the committee , will make a re port dissenting from Senator Lexow's treat ment of the testimony relating1 to the Sugar : rust. The report , which contains ( something moro than 10,000 words , will bo submitted U : ho legislature today and ordered printed. KrrorM lit Olllelnl Ileiiort. LEXINGTON , Neb. , March 8. To the Kd Itor of The Bee : I have a copy of the firs biennial report of the State Board of Irri gation prepared by Secretary W. II. Akcrs fUter looking through It carefully , I have concluded that much of the $12,500 appro iirlated to meet the expense of the state Irri gation ofllco has been wasted in salaries of ; otally Inexperienced officers , whose bene- It to the Irrigation Interests has been very slight. The first seventy pages read more Ike a real estate boom circular than a iclentlflc report. It Is full of mlEstatemcntH , I'hcn comes an article by Secretary W. R. \kcrs , entitled "Duty of Water , " which ihowH the writer knew very llttlo about the luty and less about the measurement of vater. On page 138 , table 19 , Is given what s supposed to bo flow In cubic feet and itatutory Inches of water through an open- ng of ( six Inches in height under four Inches iressuro from top of orifices , neither of vhlch Is correct. But taking the cubic feet > er second as correct , then the Inches docs lot correspond , Tnko six Inches In height inder four-Inch pressure and four feet In cngth , it gives 7.3CO cubic feet per second , ir 288 statutory Inches. The given cubic cet per second would equal about 3G8 stat- itory Inches , as a cubic foot per second quals about fifty of our statutory Inches. : ho whole table Is entirely unreliable , 'ablo 20 , on water measurements , Is llttlo bet- er. Table 21 Is probably taken from the re- iort of some engineer , as It Is nearer correct , Vith the exception of some stream measuro- ncnts made by 0. II. P. Stout and Adam ) obson and the list of applications for , -ater , the report Is worthless for Infornm- Ion , as It does not contain facts and Is full f mlsstntements , which U likely to have a ad effect with persona who do not under tone ! Irrigation or water measurements , and r'ould lead to ( serious error. These reports hould be ) sent to the waste basket , and coin- etent men employed or the law creating he offices repealed and stop tbo expense. k report by competent men Is much needed nd would do much good , but this ono la seless.
