atcd , to be made one of the standing com1
tnlttccR. Upon objection being made by
Wheeler of Furnas , Mr. Prince said that
there would probably bo a greater amount
of deficiencies come before this hotua than
ever before and ho believed It desirable to
have this tmatter taken In charge by a
special commlttco and the responsibility be
placed where it properly belonged , with the
present state administration ,
Gnw-enor of Hamilton took up the cudgel
for the minority party. He Bald the re
sponsibility of the legislation would rest
with the. republican majority. Ho did not
believe that the deficiency claims would bo
larger than usual and the committee on
claims ought to take carp of-them. Tha
motion of the gentleman from Hall wa
characterized as an attempt to play to the
galleries.
Uurns of Lancaster spoke In favor-of al
lowing the committee on claims and the
matter being near coming to a vote , Grosi
% enor demanded a roll call.
At this point Haller ot Washington raised
the point of order that under the rules
temporarily adopted no new standing com
mittees could be created.
It is understood that back of this Incident
Is a general sentiment among the repub
lican members that the deficiency ap-
proprlatlona for the state offices and state
Institutions should bo embodied In a special
bill , where they will stand out as a plain reminder -
minder of the hoists of economy recently
made by the fusion administration.
Only a small amount of routine business
was transacted In the senate today. The
usual tlrno will bo required to take care
of the preliminaries , and the flrst of next
week will BOO the upper house fully ready
for business. The .Inauguration of the state
officers and the preaentatlon of the last
message of Governor Holcomb will be ihe
main features ot tomorrow's session.
The services of a timekeeper for senate
employes will not be required this year. In
considering the matter ot employes , the
senators decided the secretary could do that
work very easily , and have added that to hla
duties. The employes will also have the fact
Impressed upon them from the start that
for once at least a public place Is not to
be considered as a private snap , as em
ployes during this session will receive pay
only for time actually employed , nnd will
not therefore draw double pay for half worlt.
The number of pages employed today was
four only. It more are actually needed
they will bo added later.
During the first two days ot the session
the twelve senators representing the fusionIsts -
Ists might well be termed the "silent minor
ity , " as they have scracoly been heard from
during that time. The acts ot the republican
caucus were endorsed yesterday and today
by a "yea" vote , and accepted without
comment , aside from the few remarks of
Senator Farrell of Merrlck yesterday. The
20 cents a day voted for stamps will hardly
bo sufficient to meet the "official" require
ments , but the senators are not showing
any disposition to dive very deeply Into tb
public pockdt for "current expenses. "
The adjournment till tomorrow morning
was for the purpose of giving the senate
committee on committees an opportunity to
do some work on the makeup of the com
mittees. Their first sceslon waa held Hits
afternoon. There Is considerable good-
natured strife among the senators for the
chairmanships ot the leading committees.

LINCOLN , Jan. 4. ( Special. ) After the

Adams , Lane of Lancaster and Tanner of
Nance. A committee consisting of Thomp
son of Merrlck , Caller of Washington nnd
Grosvenor" 'Hamilton Was appolhtc'd' to
wait uponthp ggyernor and notify hjm that
the house was In * , session and ready fbr/com-
*
munlcnJioiis from him.
On motion of Wheeler of Furnas the
pcakcr was voted the privilege of appoint
ing a private secretary and a page to bo of
MB onn selection.
At tills point in the proceedings the
senators appeared and the two houses went
into joint session to canvass the returns.
Lieutenant Governor Harris called the Joint
session to order nd'.rcad the provision tn
the constitution foe the canvass of the vote
on state olllcers. Speaker Clark read a
communication from Secretary of State Per
ter. which was simply a tender of the ab
stract of th'o vote cast At the last election.
Assistant Clerk Gllmoro began the reading
of the tabulated void .by counties , but did
not proceed far until' Representative Prince
of Halt moved that the detailed canvass be
dispensed with nnd ( otals only read. Ills'
motion , was adopted nnd much time saved
thereby.
, Speaker Clark then proclaimed the results
of the canvass and declared he officers duly
elected. Upon motion of Senator Noycs of
Douglas the Joint convention , adjourned un
til 2 o'clock tomorrow to hear the governor's
message nnd Inaugurate the now , officers.
Prince of Hall , offered a resolution pro
vldliiK for the cfeallon of a standing com
mittee to toke charge of the deficiency ap
propriations. In support of this he said It
was necessary to keep r these deficiency
claims separate from other claims aild place
the jcsp9iislblllty of the deficiencies on the
present stnto administration. ' c <
Wheeler of Pumas'- and Gro'svonor of
Hamilton , both fustonlsts , spoke against the
adoption of the resolution. They saw fn It
an attempt to make campaign thunder and
each thought the regular committee on
claims ought to do the work. In this latter
they weip supported tty Burns of Lancaster.
Pollard of Cass spoke In favor of the reso
lution , "deprecating al the -name time the
political ) turn that had boon Riven tothe
matter. ) Qrosxmor dinlanded a roll call am !

MILFORD , Neb. , Jan.l54. To' the Editor
of The Bee : .In your Jssuo of D'ecember 23.
1898r appears a commynfc tlop derogatory to
my personal character and Injurious to me
AS a practical engneer'andf | > atlempts to
prove th& charge of Tny'"tlbulous ) turn" by
saying that I have a brother whoU\cngaged
In the , sa'loon business. AB well'say I have
a brother In the milk business ; hence , that
said brother milked the town pump and con
trolled Uhe chalk market , and I was re
sponsible for the , whole business.
With your permission 1 desire tomakoa _
plain matter of fact statement that I can
substantiate If necessary. I am a licensed
engineer and understand my business In all
Its details.
On January 10 , 1898 , I was appointed and
took charge of the engine at the Industrial
Homo at Mllford , Neb. The condition In
which I found the- engine , bolters , etc. , Is
not a question Involved In this pontroversy ,
If wo may dignify an uncalled for attack on
private character by such tltlCi-vl am un
justly assailed and misrepresented In the
article referred to abo\e.
In regard to my "bibulous turn , " I am
within the bounds ; of truth when I assert
that a half-dozen times during the year will
more than represent the number of times I
have been In mjr .brother's or any saloon
and then only on > 'u41ne93 with my brother.
I may have takqn .dUrljig that time an oc
casional glass of befir. bjft never td the ex
tent of lntoxlcailcn'v I" never Indulge In
anything that Intoxicates during the hours
while on duty and never to the extent of In
ebriation. Being without.'help , alone , In
charge of engine - boilers , dynamo , etc. ,
with the lives ofalJhe | people of the In
stitution In my hands , you at once readily
see the opportunity. for such Indulgence Is
(
meager Indeed. _ i "
In summing up this matter from start to
finish one must conclude that prejudice or
personal dislike -irvitio ( foundation and sole
reason for my removal.'If It wore true that
I had at any "time during the time of my
employment atth'e."honie boon Intoxicated
or under the lutlueuco "of Intoxicants , or
had In any manner b on derelict In my
duties , this defense/ would never have been
" '
made , >
I thln ] < the prohibition element only In
jures Its cause by tacking war against those
who" happen , to have relative's engaged In a
legal and , legitimate' business. Oiir statutes
recognlze.tho business and provide , penalties
, fnr violations of the law and If my brother
has violated the law he , not I , la.amenable
to the violated law.
Lot Justice bo done. Let the Appointing
power of Nebraska avoid the appointment
of .narrow-mtndej and egotistical people as
superintendents of our public Institutions ,
and much cause of complaint will be re-
moVbd. Yours very truly , M. T. OTTO.

BEFORE WAR INQUIRY BOARD
Major HnrrlMon of Ninth Volunteer
Infantry Tell * "HI * Experience
with IlofrlKernteil Meat.
WASHINGTON" , Jan. 4. Major Harrison ,
Ninth volunteer Infantry , whose icglmont
was raised near New Orleans and Is now in
service at Santiago , testified before the War
Investigating commission 'today ' concerning
commissary * stores , saying those In the
United States were ) the best that could be
bought in the open market. The refriger
ated beef sent from thtq country , he aald ,
was excellent. He had had much experience
with refrigerated meat , and he said that
while there was some disposition on the part
of the regimental cooks to cavil at the ap
pearance of the meat it was In reality quite
Eood. _ ,
Ho explained that the sudden change of
temperature on removing the meat from the
refrigerator ships produced what le known
as a "beard , " a greenish growth that had
to bo scraped off. When this was done the
meat beneath was perfectly good. It was
Issued to the men with excellent results and
benefited the sick materially. The chief
trouble came when the change was made to
hoof cattle sent from -Porto Rico. This beef
Major Harrison kllled > himself and person
ally superintended Its.dressing and cooling.
"But it would not.cool In that climate , "
ho said , very , emphatically.
"Tho moat never lost its animal heat , and
with its use our-ietcknesB Increased 10 per
cent. In a countryrwhere our dead putrlfled
in six hours ycuwlU.en3lly ; understand that
meat killed and pjeposgd to the atmospheric
changes , with. , coagulated Mood and the at
tacks ot flies , , wJHiM9H.mucho | ( } ! > ner.Our
board of survey bMjno jvork to , do except
condemning kn'dljbufulng .this lodally .killed
Veef. " ' r- „ ; 3
'Of the caixned , be'ef Major Harrison spoke
with equal' emphasis , saying It was fully as
good as .the refrigerator beet aud , none of it
had to bo cqndemned. .
General Beaver asked If a refrigerating
plant was established there whether Cuban
beef jCould .be killed'on the ground and ren
dered fit for use by , the men. Witness said
he thought this would not be desirable , as
the Cuban cattle , while line looking , fur
nished the coarsest" and most stringy beef
ho had ever seen. Witness said ho was
thoroughly familiar with the processes ot
I refrigerating and butchering meat and he
was willing to state positively that there
wore no chemicals used In any ot the Amer-
leanjjeet that passed under his obsenatlon.
On the contrary , be Bald , there was no chem
ical preparation that could be used on the
meat with advantage to the- packers and
without ruining their product before they
could get It to the army. He regarded It
s highly Improbable ) that anything of the
sort had been attempted. Recurring to the
hoof-killed beef at Santiago , witness said
the surgeons tn charge attributed the 10 per
cent Increase In Intestinal sickness to the
use of the fresh-killed beef. There waa
a , proportionate decrease in sickness when
the regiment returned to refrigerated beef.
Major Harrison said he had no complaint
to make as to medical supplies or attend-

WASHINGTON , Jan. 4. Hon. O. E.
Roberts , the director of the mint , has re
ceived from the officials and agents of the
bureau the preliminary estimates upon the
production of gold in the several producing
states and territories of the United States
for the calendar year 1898. These estimates ,
although subject to revision , are deemed to
be approximately correct. Nearly all of the
states show an Increased production. Col-
orado maintains and Increases Its lead by a
larger addition to Its product than In any
previous year. The production of California
was considerably reduced by prevailing
drouth , which affected the output of the
placers , but the Increase from lode mining
has slightly more than offset this reduction.

ST. LOUIS , Jan. 4. The United States
court of appralb In the cn e of the American
Water Works Company of lllllnols against
the Farmers' Loan and Trust company , the
former being the appellants , affirmed the
finding of the lower courts. The defendants
brought suit to foreclose a mortgngc on a
wntur works plant at Omaha , and n decree
was gl\cn in th district court of Nebraska
ordering the foreclosure and sale of the
mortgaged property and tlo ) distribution of
the proceeds among the mortgage bond
holders. An appear was taken March 1C ,
1S95 , and the decree was affirmed.
After the return of the case to the lower
court a solo was made of the mortgaged
property May 20 , 189C. The property was
sold to the Farmers' Loan and Trust com
pany as trustee for certain mortgage bond
holders who held bonds to the amount of
$3,534,000. The propelty was sold for $4,009-
COO , Jl 10,535 less than the total mortgage
Indebtedness. The appellants filed excep
tions nnd made three motions to vacate the
sale and the order for the execution of the
deed , alleging that the purchasers' bid had
not been duly performed.
This case was taken to the court of appeal
by the American Water Works company ,
which had taken exceptions to the master's
report In the lower court , nnd had also al
leged that the Farmers' Loan and Trust
company hnd not made Its bid good. On both
of these points the United States circuit
court decided favorably to the Farmers'
Loan and Trust company , and the court of
appeals has affirmed those decisions , and con
firms the sale of the property to that com
pany.

Is there- any analogy In taking In these
Isolated groups of Islands with 10,000,000

commerce , but In doing it through those
channels that will best elevate and promote
the dignity and honor of our American

Congressman De Armond of Missouri said :
"I cannot see how any good Is to come to user
or to the people of the country If It Is to
