of one-fourth of 1 per cent on the part of
banks to secure depositors , bo ordered to
the gcucial III e , Jenkins' motion that the
bill bo laid oji the table was defeated. The
iiucatlon then recurred on tlic original mo
tion , On this Jcnklnu demanded a roll call ,

62 to 35 anil Jenkins moved that the bill
be Indefinitely pchtponcd. Tills motion pre
vailed by 45 tc | 32 , and the bill was Indefin
itely postponed.
* A number of ccnuto flics were then read
for the first time. Including the stock yards

jtio house go Into committee ot the whole
to consider bills on general Hie. He asked
unanimous consent to present u report ot
Jlio committee on rules before going into
coramllteB of the whole. Several objections
wcro made and the report was withheld.
Velscr attempted by u certain parliamentary
uubtcrfugo to get Ills resolution condemning
tlio Omaba city council before the bouse ,
but objections were raised and sustained
by the speaker. Then ho spoke to the mo
tlon to go Into committee of the whole , and
swung around again to the city council of
Omaha , and was choked off by objections
The house again tried to go Into committee
of the whole to consider the general appro
prlatlon bills , but could" not do BO by a vote
of 43 nays , 35 ayes , and the speaker an
nounced bills on third reading as the reg
ular order. This brought up house roll No.
131 , by Hlch , providing for the sale upon
execution of stock In Corporations and In
terests In companies Incorporated , and des
ignating the manner of levy under execution
and writs of attachment. The bill passed
with the emergency clause by a vote of

ing what Khali bo a legal tender for cur
rency In the slatu of Nebraska , and provid
ing that it shall be gold coin and standard
silver dollars of the United States of stand
ard weight and fineness , was papsd by 01
tn 25. The ostensible object ot this measure -
uro Is to prevent the making ot gold con
tracts. Wooster demanded a call of the
liouso on his bill , as It had been amended to
Include an emergency clause. During this
considerable disorder prevailed. Yelbor sent
up a "Josh" resolution , which was read , to
erect a bulletin board over the speaker's desk
on which to record the rounds of the forth
coming fight at Carson City. Clark of Rlcli-
nrdson moved an amendment that It also

ber. On motion of Wooster further pro

Uuesl was granted.
The house then took a recess until 2 p , in.
On the opening of the afternoon session
Kolster moved that when the house ad
journed It bo until 2 p. m. , Monday.
Wooster favored this , hut Yeissr oppcued It
on the ground that the city council ot Omaha
had passed an ordinance granting n million
dollar franchise and , although It would bo
vcto2d by the mayor , It the council held
another meeting It would override that veto.
He wanted the Inltlaturo and referendum
bill passed at once to meet this emergency ,
For this reason ho opposed the adjournment.
Ho wanted a resolution read , but waa ruled
out of order. Ho was told , however , that
ho could state the contents of the resolution ,
Jenkins raised the point of order that the
gentleman had apoken twice on the motion ,
but was not sustained by Hich , speaker pro
tern.

Then Yelser iroved that the Omaha char
ter bo made a special order for tomorrow at
10 a. m. Tlie motion to adjourn until Mon
day at 2 o'clock was lost by a large ma
jority , and without action on YeUer's motion
to make the Omaha chatter a special order-
the speaker announced bills ou third read.

search for absentees. He appeared before
the bar of the house- with Burkett , Stebblns
nud Morrison , On motion , the gentlemen
were excused and roll call proceeded. Th
bill failed to carry by a vote o' ; CO to 40.
An attempt was made to take another vote ,

number necessary to pass it , It could not be
again put on passage. Sheldon appealed from
the decision of the chair , nnd the chair was

SUIT PENDING AGAINST IT DISMISSED
I
New Jersey Court DeclilcH n Corpora
tion HUH the IllKht to Sell to
Whom It Plcnscn mill ou Such
TcriiiH tin It SL-CH Fit.
TRENTON , N. J. , March 12. Vice Chan
cellor Reed this morning filed with the clerk
ot the court of chancery his decision , dis
missing the bill brought against the Ameri
can Tobacco company. The suit was brought
jointly In the name of the attorney general
and Wilson Bros. , tobacco dealers of New
York , for the purpose of restraining the
Tobacco trust from transacting Its business
ind from conducting the business In a manner
prejudicial to the complainants and Injurious
to the people of the state of Now Jersey.
The opinion is a voluminous one and Vice
Chancellor Reed makes comparison as to
what would bo the rights of an Individual
xnd of a corporation undei- the same condl-
Llon. Ho says that it would not bo thought
} f to go Into court to restrain an individual
'rom exercising the right of selling to whom
ie pleased and he argues that a corporation
lad the same right In this respect as an
ndlvldual. Ho says it Is perfectly obvious
n this case that upon the assumption that
: ho American Tobacco company Is a legally
> rganlzed corporation there Is not the least
; round for Imputing to It conduct since Its
irganlzntlon of an ultra vires character.
The question as to whether the corporation
s legally organized la ono the vlco chan-
'ellor holds which should determined by
i court of law under quo warranto proceed-
nga.
The syllabus of the opinion Is as follows :
1. A court of equity does not possess
ho power to restrain a cuiporntion organ-
zed under tbe forms or laws from per-
ormlnjr nets within Its corporate power ,
nerely because some of the steps tnkcn In
irgixnlzlng the corporation may hive : been
rregulur , or becuuso tbo purpose of the
ncorporntors may have been to establish 11
nonopoly.
2. Under these conditions quo wnrranto
3 tlio appropriate proceeding to challenge
ho right of the corporation to exercise its
rnnchlse.
3. A trading1 or manufacturing corpora-
Ion , until Its charter Is annulled by such
iroceedlngfl lit law , 1ms the snmo authority
s nn Individual trader or manufacturer to
c'll or coMHlKii Its KooclB , to select ItH
clllng1 agents nnd to lmpo.su conditions OH
o whom U shall and the terms upon which
L will sell ,

CHICAGO , March 12. The Post's Washing
ton special says : Secretary of State Sherman
Is said to bo contemplating negotiations for
a treaty with the live states composing the
Greater Central America Republic
along the lines of the celebrated
Frellnghuyeen-Zavala treaty , which In
effect established an American pro-
tcctorato over Nicaragua and committed the
government In the construction ot the water-
way. This treaty was pending when Mr.
Cleveland went Into the white house twelve
years ago. About the first thing the latter
did was to withdraw the agreement between
the two countries , his ground for so doing
being that the treaty , If carried into effect ,
would bo n perpetual menace to the na
tion's peace and would provoke endless com
plications with other countries. It is now
said to be Secretary Sherman's purposeto
resurrect the Frellnghuy.jen-Zavala treaty
and frame a new agreement embodying many
of Its salient features.
