time. Thctp representatives were : Sena *
tors Holbrook , Noycs and Crow , and Hrp *
rcientotlvefl Haller , Uurns , Harkion and
Homo. The election ot senator In 1895 ,
however , was a very tame affair , Mr. Thurs-
ton having- opponents In his own party ,
eo that the present experience Is entirely
different.
Two republican members of the legisla
ture were members ot the legislature ot 1S93
nd look part In the memorable contest
which resulted In the election of Senator
Allen. These Uo are Representatives Hal-
ler and Hums. Or. Holler started by voting
for Lorenzo Croun o and continued voting
for him steadily until the last two or three
ballots , when he cast his vote for the nomi
nees of the republican caucus , Thurston and
Paddock. Representative Hums began voting
ing In 1S03 for Secretary of State John C.
Allen. He went down the list , changing
from day to day to R. E. Moore of Lincoln ,
Church Howe , the Ncmaha county statesman -
man ; Attorney General George H. Hastings
and finally A. S. Paddock , and John M.
Thurston.
Senator Holderman Is another republican
legislator who has gone through the mill ot
a ncnatorlal contest , but his experience was
had back In 1877. At that tlmo Senator
Haldorman was counted among the sup
porters of Judge Clinton Brlggs of Omaha
and ho finally voted for Alvln Saunders
when the republican vote was consolidated
upon him after a caucus.
It will bo readily seen from this that any
attempt to forecast the position of members
by their votes In previous senatorial con
tests Is entirely out of the question.
< luo tlon of C'nncnN I'roorrtnre.
Although the day upon which the ballot
ing for United States senator must begin
is less than a week off , there Is no serious
talk omong republicans of a caucus before
the balloting starts. The general feeling , ns
has been reported , Is against an early cau
cus , but some Interest la manifested In the
question of caucus procedure.
In the different caucuses that have so fat
been held to determine the house and
senate organization the votes have nil been
taken by ballot. At the first house caucus
In which the speakcrshlp flght figured most
prominently the question was presented
whether the vote should bo by ballot or by
roll call and was determined In favor of the
former method. In the senate caucus which
agreed- upon the different committee chair
manships some complaint was made that
the fight over the head of the judiciary com
mittee might have resulted differently had
the senators voting been compelled to go
on record as to their choice.
It Is stated on reliable authority , that In
the republican caucuses of two years age
the votes were all taken by roll call , nnd
that no attempt was made to secure secret
ballots upon any proposition. The question
of an open vote or a secret ballot Is likely
to become one of the Important factors In
the senatorial contest before It Is com
pleted ,
State University Wont * .
The legislative committee appointed by the
university Board of Regents , which has beer
In session hero for several days working
upon measures In the Interest of the uni
versity , completed Its labors today. The uni
versity people have decided to change their
demands and to consolidate all the unlver-
elty bills Into one. At the last meeting
of the Board of Regents It was agreed te
present to the legislature requests for ap
propriations not only out of the'unlversltj '
fund , but also out of the general fund , and
an additional request for a three-slxtecntti
mill levy to form a special building fund
The legislative committee has agreed to asl
that Instead ot the usual three-eighths mill
levy for university purposes , the levy be
Increased by the present legislature to 1
mill , and that the appropriations for build
ings , maintenance , salaries and all othei
purposes come but ot\ the university fu $
thus augmented. The finance' report of tht
university has appeared from the press
while the regents' report Is still delayed.

Ashby-Chlttcnden contest papers from Gag

fact that Chlttenden was already a merabt

MIMKHOUS HANGERS-ON FOR JOB * ,
Eagerly Avrnltlnir the Itcport of the
Makeup of thc List.
LINCOLN , Jan. 11. ( Special. ) Expectant
applicants for minor places on the senate
pay roll were numerous when the body con
vened this morning , but the majority were
not prepared to announce the completion ol
the list. Chaplain Grossmen Invoked divine
blessing in a patriotic strain and asked thc
guidance of Providence for our beloved
president.
Owing to the decision of the special senate
committee that all bills should bo read ID
fill ! on three separate days to conform tc
constitutional requirements , the Journal was
corrected to show that bills 1 to 0 , read
yesterday , were on their first reading In
stead of second and their reference to com
mittees rescinded. It was adopted nnd Lieu
tenant Governor Gilbert caused some laugh
ter by naylng : "I am. glad I shall get an
other opportunity to refer these bills tc
committees. I think senate file No. 1 al
cast should be referred to the committee ermines
mines and mining. As senate file No. 1 IE
Senator Frout's bill , to prevent the names
of nominees by one or more parties from ap
pearing more than once on the ofllclal bal-
ot , and the mining committee Is composei
entirely of fualonlsts , the force of the Joki
Is apparent and indicates the lleutcnan
governor's desire to eoo the bill burled.
After the reading of bills on first and sec'
and reading , which took considerable time
a committee of three , consisting of Prou
of Gage , Holbrook of Dodge nnd Miller ol
Buffalo * was appointed to arrange for com
mittee rooms and bill rooms.

Zing the secretary of the senate to draw

II. R. 172 , by Prince Joint resolution pro
posing to amend section 1 ot article xv , ol
: he constitution.
H. R. 137 , by Pollard , Is , with some modi
fications , a copy of the revenue bill that
was under consideration during the session
of 1S97. Being asked to explain some ol
the salient features of the bill this after
noon , Mr. Pollard said : "The main objecl
sought In my revenue bill Is to bring nil
the property of the state within reach ol
the assessor. Under the present law , the
farmer is tbe only person that always has
nil ot his property taxed. If my bill Is en
acted Into law men who have their holdings
wrapped up In securities , franchises and cor
porate stock will be compelled to bear theh
Just share of taxation. All property will
bo assessed at its actual cash value , and e
penalty is affixed for failure to assess thc
property nt Its actual value.
"To compel the holders ot securities
franchises nnd stocks to pay their share ol
the taxes the bill requires county clerks tc
make a list of all these classes of propert )
on file in bis office and furnish the satm
to Hie assessors of the various precincts In
terested prior to the time of commencing thi
work of assessment. ,
' 'Another feature of the bill relates to the
powers of the county boards ot equalization
allowing them to raise or lower the valua >
tlon of property on their own motion , In'
stead ot waiting for complaint to be made
County treasurers are made liable on thcli
bonds for the collection of taxes In all cases
unless they can show that in case of defaul
there is no property in sight.
"The Interest on property sold for taxes
Is reduced from 20 to 15 per cent , require !
the recording of tax deeds the same as othe-i
deeds and makes the title absolute in thc
purchescr after the expiration of < three-yean
and three months. Thc bill provides thai
where property has been offered for salt
for taxes for three successive years wlthou
bidders the county attorney Is required t <
put the property up at auction and sell t <
tbe highest' ' bidder. "
Mr. Pollard said that the bill had alread ;
been endorsed by the State Association o
County Commissioners arid through this as
ocUVoh-a1 ! ! the. nfombers df ffta'tc ' lglatun
were-being requested to support the'ibUl. , i
H. R. > lf > 4 , , by ( .Weaver , Is an amendmen
to the ballot'law , leaving the separate col
umns and party emblems the same as a
present , but does away with the circle a
the top , whereby the voter Is now pnablei
to vote the straight ticket by making i
single cross. '
Upon being' interviewed as to this * bill to
day Mr. Weaver said : "I am in favor 'of ' 'ai
educational ballot. The voter should maki
a cross after the name of each candidate h
desires to vote for. In this respect ou
first Australian ballot was all right and
would not object to a re-enactment' th
same law. "
M. R. 158 , introduced by Rouse by re
quest , provides for the establishment ot 11
brarles in country school districts nnd li
village districts not already supplied wltl
libraries. To meet the expense It la pro
posed to levy a tax ot one-tenth of 1 mill
Should the bill become a law It would al

STIRS UP THE FRENCHMEN
Mi De Beanrepnira Issues a 8 nsationa
Address to the Deputies ,
HE THROWS OUT A SOP TO THE ARMV
Uc-ninnO.il ( lint the Urcrfnn Cn c Hi
Ilcmnvcd from thc Court of Cni-
tloa nnil a Judicial Inquiry
Itmtllutcd.
PARIS , Jan , 11. M , Qucsnay do Bcaure-
palre , whose resignation of the presidency
ot the civil section ot the cotirt of cassa
tion Is regarded by Impartial observers as
the most dangerous development ot the
Dreyfus affair thus far , today furnished tc
the newspapers the most Inflammatory pro-
1 nounccmcnt ho has yet made. . It Is In thc
nature of a proclamation and Is entitled
"An Appeal to the Deputies , " whom he
j caHs on vehemently to remove the Drey
fus case from the hands ot the criminal
chamber of the court. The proclamation
concludes as follows :
"Order a real and solemn Inquiry whlct
shell penetrate right Into the vlacra ol
thia tortuous examination. If tbero an
guilty men In the bosom of the criminal
chamber authorize the executive power t <
remove them , so that our maglstry ma )
gain Its ancient prestige. Remove the cast
from the criminal chamber tomorrow. Or
der an Immediate judicial Inquiry. You cat
ascuredly take other measures , as you bavi
to accept advice from no one and your de
cisions will be welcomed with the confi <
dence duo those who safeguard the Frcnct
cause.
"I hope to play the modest role of thosi
sentries who In the olden days elgnalci
from the battlements the approach of thc
enemy and after sounding the alarm left II
for chiefs of the city to arm themselves li
behalf ot the commonweal. City fathers
forgive the abruptness of my appeal. It Is
due to the emotion which agitates me. Ii
you do not cut the gordlan knot at once 1
tremble for my country.
"My grief IB great to see the maglstracj
to which I have so long belonged com
promised , but I console myself with thi
thought that It will emerge purified fron
the crisis. My grief Is great at seeing fivi
or six magistrates BO forgetful ot our tra
ditions as to declare themselves the adver
saries of the army. Of course the Dreyfus'
lies maintain that they are nod attacking
the army while- they attack Us chiefs. Thesi
madmen think when they tell the soldier ;
today that their chiefs are unworthy te
command , that the spirit ot discipline am
confidence which constitutes the groatcs
source of military strength Is not being
undermined.
"You will reply that what they call thi
'einemy' Is the sword of France the pool
officers whose uniform la the garb ot sacrl <
flee , who work devotedly for the loftlesl
aim which exists , preparing to die ; whi
tomorrow , If the cannon roar , wllf shec
their blood for those who slander. I salutt
them with admiration.
Army IB Worthy Ilespect.
"I say to the soldiers that the natlona' '
army Is worthy ot respect from the htghes
to the lowest rank and If I have been abli
to aid In avenging the Insult to which H
has been subject I shall not regret havlnf
paid so dearly lor my Independence.
"Deputies , listen 'to the voice of a goot
citizen ! "
This appeal is a palpable appeal for thi
support of the army. But M. de Beaure
palro , who shot up like a skyrocket as thi
most tremendous sensation of the Dreyfui
affair , now seems falling like a rocket fron
bis press eminence as a leader of the ant !
Dreylifedrds and'the 'posslble herc-ol.ti coup
The best observers of .public opinion de
clare that the impression created by hi :
first remarkable denunciation of the court o
cassation has been succeeded by a skeptl
clam regarding his motives and the valui
of his revelations.
Many , If not most Frenchmen , estlmati
him as a politician who had found the bend
too prosaic for a man long accustomed to th <
excitement of party strife and who though
he had found an opportunity to make him'
self the leader of a popular movement.
The charges he brings today against thi
court of cassation add nothing of consequence
quence to yesterday's indictment except ac
cusatlons that M. Loew had conference !
outside the court room with Colonel Pic
quart's advocate and friend , Mattre Lelblols
and that Councillor Dumas conferred outsldi
th court room with friends and relatives o
Droyfus.
M. Mazeau. first president of the court
expresses the opinion that It would be un >
fair to the criminal chamber to wlthdrav
the case , and recommends that the crlmlna
chamber should act as judge of Institution
drawing a report on the case to be sub
mltted to the full tribunal , over which M
Mazeau would preside.
The criminal chamber is continuing thi
Investigation. M. Palelogue , a wltnesi
from the foreign office who has been severa
days under examination , says the judges op
pearod greatly excited on the day of M. d <
Beaurepalre's'resignation. .
Two fresh chapters in the affair will bi
opened In a few days. The first is the trla
of Urbaln Gohler ( or his alleged Insults ti
the French army In his book , "The Arm :
Against the Nation. " M. Gohler will cal
400 witnesses and Insist upon threshing ou
again the whole Madagascar campaign.
The second chapter will be the libel sul
against Joseph Reinech , editor of La Re
publlque Francalse and deputy for the dls
trict of Deign , who Is charged by the wldov
of the late Colonel Henry with having In
sulted his memory by suggesting In La Re <
publlquo Francalse that Henry was the rea
traitor.
The Relnach prosecution seems to be th <
last card of the antl-Dreyfusards. If thli
and the scandal of De Beaurepalre's rente
nation fall to stop revision then nothing will
be left them except an appeal to force.

the consumption of meat per head bad In
creased. Continuing , the minister of the In
lerlor said the chancellor and the federal
governments were In every way prepared tc
fully attend to the Interests of the consum
ers. The question was whether the resi
dents ot the cities should have cheapei
meat or the rural community suffer Incalcu
lable and lasting Injury. So long as It wai
not proved that the food of the people was
affected the government would defend the
interest of the rural minority. This declaration -
ration was greeted with cheers.

meeting of the Union bank ot London today
Mr. Schuestcr , the governor , In the course

made Itself felt on this side , and for the
first time he believed It might be said that
It was not Europe that had financed the
United States , but New York \that had
financed Europe. During tbo last few

I chose must not bo lost sight of.

of Situation nt Manila.
MADRID , Jan. 11. General Rlos , the Span-
Iflh commander , cables from Manila reiterat
ing the assertion that the situation In thc
Philippine Islands Is most grave. The rebel's ,
It appears , are concentrating In the neigh
borhood of Manila with the Intention of at
tacking that place. Great preparations are
being made for the defense of the city. The
Spanish general also asserts that the natives
of the Vlsayas have again refused to permit
the Americans to land , threatening to resist
by tone * If on attempt Is made to do so.
The Americans , therefore , according to den-
oral Rlos , have abandoned the Idea ot dis
embarking and he confirms a previous state
ment to the effect that they are unwilling to
bombard Hello , "because the European
houses are stocked with petroleum , with the
view of being set alight by the American
shells. "
General Rlos alleges that the rebels are
determined to fight the Americana before re
inforcements arrive from the United States.
In conclusion , General Rlos says "General
Aguinaldo's proclamation has produced Im
mense enthusiasm among the rebels. "
