( Special. ) In the house this morning Thompson of Mcrrlck offered a resolution that the bill flics now on hand be discarded and some others morn suitable be ordered In their place. The dis cussion that followed brought out the ex planation "that the bills In the flics now on the members' desks tear out If the ( lie Is opened up and the binding Is such th.it part ot the bills cannot be read. The chair made the statement that a .con tract had been made by the secretary of state with tbo company that had heretofore furnished files for the legislature and that this contract had been canceled' to make possible * the purchase of the present flics. He said an exchange could he made , a small amount to be'allowed for those on hand. A motion to refer the whole mutter to the committee on printing was defeated and later.a motion Instructing the committee to make ( lie.exchange was adopted. The regulation flics that are now'to ho purchased cost about $2 apiece. The secre tary of state canceled the contract with the manufacturers i month or so ago In order to buy some cheaper ones from a popo- cratlc printing establishment In Lincoln. After recess the house went Into commit * tee of the. whole , with Thompson of Mer- rick In the chair , to consider bills on gen eral nic. H. 11. 22 , making a minor change In the statute relating to guardians and wards ; II , U. z , making a cor rection In the same chapter and II. n. 31 , amending chapter dell of the criminal cede were recommended for pas sage.

The house commttteo on privileges held a meeting this afternoon and listened to the reading of > the 250 pages constituting the rec ord of the Flllmore county contest case. This related to the proceedings and evidence brought out nt the hearing In Geneva In December. The reading of this evidence de veloped the fact that Judge Sklpton , the man who Is now holding back it ho ballots , was the oRlclal who appointed the election officials In the county and who so arranged ' It that there was a fusion majority on every I board. It also showed that when Sklpton | > \as on the witness stand on the 19th ho admitted - mittod that the supervision contest in the three precincts could not come up for a long time and that In the Interim "tho Lord , knows what would become of the ballots. " Attorneys 13d Smith of Omaha and Ster ling and Wilson of Geneva were present to day representing the contestces , while Stoane , Bareby and Dennis Thorpe ot Geneva represented the contestants. The attorneys | for the contestees when reqursted to do so refused to asked Judge Sklpton to deliver up the ballots. In the meantime the two men whose scata are being contested claim to bo anxious to have the ballots delivered up. The committee will rtnume Its sitting tomorrow morning and it Is said that the count cf the ballots now on hand will be started during the day. The house committee on nuance , ways and means held a meeting tonight and called upon the state officials to give personal testimony as to tbo clerical force In their offices.

The fact that the hill , was pushed through the senate so early in i the seailon nnd imoneil by a pnrtlpan vote has naturally aroused some antagonism among the house member * and there Is al ready ft move on foot to array the entlro fusion force against It In the house. Sonic of the republican members alto declare- their opposition ( o the measure. The bill changes existing laws In the matter of requiring a bond In foreclosure cases alter judgment or decree. The objectionable clause In the hill Is contained In the parenthetical part of the third paragraph. This part of the bill reads as follows : Third When the judgment , decree or order directs the sali > or delivery of the pos session of real estate , ihe bond shall be In such' sum as the court , or Judge thereof In vacation , shall prescribe , conditioned that the appellanj or appellants \ylll prosecute imch appeal without delay and will not dur ing the pendency of such appeal commit or suffer to bo committed any waste upon such real estate ( and If the Judgment bo af firmed he will pay the value of the use and occupation of the property from the date of the undertaking until the delivery ot the possession pursuant to the judgment and all costs ) . oTHE SBXATK.

The only members absent at roll call were How ard of Hamilton and Farrell of Mcrrlck. Proceedings dragged while the senate waited for the noon hour to ballot on sen ator for the sixth time. The following new bills were Introduced : S. F. 108 Dy Newell : An act entitled "An act to amend section 3 , chapter xtl of the Compiled Statutes of Nebraska ot 1897. entitled Chattel Mortgages. " S.

Under bills on third reading H. n. 113 , to appropriate $90,000 for payment of the sal aries of members and employes of the legis lature , was read. Without waiting to vote on this bill the secretary proceeded to read H. H. 121 , to appropriate 40,000 for Inci dental expenses , until stopped by Talbot of Lancaster , who said under .the constitution the vote must be taken Immediately after the third reading to be legal. The president thought the senator from Lancaster was taking a serious view of the matter. "I do , " replied Senator Talbot. "It Is se rious to me , ae it Is where I get my pay and I want the bill properly passed. " Consequently the bill was placed upon Ita passage and received thirty-one affirmative votes. The president declared the bill passed with the emergency clause , II. R. 121 was then read and passed by unanimous vote and the Journey of the two appropriation bills through the legislature was completed. After the joint session the senate took a recess till 3 o'clock. The senate reconvened at 3:15 : o'clock. When petitions were called for a long pe- tltton was presented by Reynolds of Dawes asking eupport for the bill before congress for equal suffrage. S. F. 52 , with slight amendments , was placed on general flic. S. F. 29 was also placed on general flic. The following bill was Introduced : 'B. ' P..202 By Hocke : To amend section 18 of article 111 , chapter xvllL Compiled' ' Statutes of Nebraska of , 1807. \ Upon motion of Currle of Ouster , T. H. Leslie was named as clerk of the judiciary , committee. Miss M. R. Emerson , stenog rapher , and Gcorgo B. Presser , engrossing cleric. Upon motion of Talbot of Lancaster tbe printing committee will have 250 1899 blue books printed , the committee to decide upoa the copy for the same , and to give the president and each senator flve copies each. The senate then went Into committee of the wholn with Prout of Gage In the chair. S. F. 12 , by Miller of Buffalo , was again conildered. The bill provides against plat- tine encumbered lands Into city , town or vil lage lots. Upon motion of Miller of Buffalo the committee agreed to report the bill back to the senate with a recommendation that It uass. S. F. 11 , by Fowler of Flllmore , provid ing a county treasurer's seal , was passed for the present. S. F. 16. by Prout ot Gage , was next con sidered. It provides that county boards shall pay all costs In cases ot misdemeanor as well as felony , when the county attorney approves the same. The bill was held for further discussion. S. F. 24. to amend procedure In jury trials , hy Talbot of Lancaster , was tbe next bill on general file. Amendments reported by the committee not having been printed thU bill was also postponed till a later sitting. S. F. 27. by Talbot of Lancaster , next received the senate's attention. Senator Talbot said the object of the bill was to make tt obligatory upon courts to ask juries to ( return verdicts passing upon questions of fact , in writing. He thought It would pre vent "dracnet" verdicts and cause Juries to arrive ut conclusions of fact more nearly In their verdict. Ho moved that the bill be reported back with a recommendation that H oacs. Hannibal of Howard thought the present law living this In the discretion of the court was all right. Van Dusen thought there * was no urgent necessity for this recommendation and that the people were not demanding it. He thought the 'bill was In the interests of defendants In 'personal Injury suits. . He said Ksnaaa was tne only state having a law of this kind , but we do not want to follow Kansas , even' though the latter has been redeemed. Talbot or Lancaster said the republicans of this state tiled hard last fall 'to redeem Nebraska , as Kansas had been redeemed and would naro accomplished the redemption had Douglas county done Its duty like Lan caster. Gag * and other counties. He thought all parties should have equal protection under tne law. it was not a law for partic ular litigants. If the Jury will nnd the facts tbo law can easily be applied. Hannibal of Howard still stood up for the judrvs and Bald they never refused to sub- mil queations to the jury In tils county. He said courts bad no more rights now than necoMary. Van Uusen of Douglas believed juries would be contused by"a : list ot question * . Would they Know the effects under the lew ot the ansrs ? , He did not believe In taking this discretion from the Impartial court and placing It In the hantls of a partial lawyer. No good reason 'for ihc change had been given. He moved as an amendment that the bill be reported back , with a recommendation that It be Indefi nitely postponed. Talbot of Lancaster said we were pro gressing and were the Ideas of the senator from Douglas carried Into effect we would atlll be driving ox teams Instead ot riding on electric c.in. Rurrlo of Custer said country judges were just as fair and impartial as city judges. H * oUo thought juries might be confused by fpeclal findings and conflict with th * general verdict. Senator's Van Duten's amendment pre vailed and the bill will be Indefinitely post poned. Senate File No. 28. by Fowler of Gage. repealing the low providing for attachment ' In Justice court cases , was favorably reported upon hy the committee of the whole.

( Special. ) Ono of the greatest Improvements noticed In the pros- nt session U In the handling of the crowds of people nlwajs swarming about the halls and corridors. In years past there was little - tlCO < attempt at police control and the upper corridors were always full of men , hoys nnd girls and questionable characters from the : lty. The dark corners made favorite meet ing plr.ccs nnd the long und crooked pas- eago to the top of the dome was turced Into vcrtt.tblo bawdy house , giving rlso to In numerable scandals. Girls from 12 to 20 years of age , who were supposed to be In school , spent hours at a time In the upper part of tbe capital building and the location and evil associations led to the ruin of hun dreds of glrU. Sc\oral tlmrs attempts were made to rem edy this condition by placing a day watch man In the upper halls clothed with author ity to shut up the door leading to the dome. But In each case some young man with u political pull as bis only recommendation was appointed to the place and he soon be came worse than the other hangers on. The position gave him the opportunity to turn tbe dome of the building Into an lu-slgnatlon house , levylug tribute on those who were temporarily given possession of the key to the door. The knowledge of this condition of affairs at previous sessions led to a meeting of the committee on employes of the house the first week of the prctent session and Speaker Clark called for some measure ol reform that would drive the lewd characters out of the upper part of the building. The reault of the mooting wns the appointment of u custodian who was 'to ' have absolute control of the upper halls. The man selected -was a man of family , an old soldier and ot good Btandlng and unimpeachable character. He has taken charge of the work and the result Is apparent to all. The dome Is kept locked up , the lewd characters arc scut away and the school girl contingent la umaller than over before. SIGHTSEERS'j ARROW ESCAPE Ice IlrlilK ? nt MfiKiira IlrenkN Akily with Several People Afloat on It. NIAGARA FALLS , N. Y. , Jnn. 23.Vhllo nearly ono hundred persons were on the great Ice bridge In the gorge' of the Niagara river the try mass was broken loose from the banks at either end. There were thou sands of Sunday sightseers In the parks and upon the upper steel arch enjoying the beauty of the crystal-llko structure. They heard the cracking of the Ice and saw the great mass as It was moved by the swift cur rent of the river , and hundreds shouted warning to those on thebridge. . Some of these venturesome persons had only gone n short distance from the rlvci hank , while others were ouIn the center of the bridge and were crossing the river. Those near the end soon found safety , but further out to ward the center were a number of small boys. . . Deforo they were fairly started for . the . ehore the great bridge was loosened from Its fastenings. Then 'l became a race for life , but the youngsters , amid wild shouts , finally reached the shore. It was then seen that all except three persons had reached _ places ; of safety. Ono was a man not far out from the Jcw .York ' side. The others were a man and a woman , who were fleeing across the Ice toward the Canadian side. ' The man near the Now York shore kept his courage well. His eyes were directed toward the steel arch , under which ho would pass , If the lee continued to move down the river. Onward It went and just as he reached ths brldgo he leaped from the Ice and caught the arch as It rises not far out from the abut ment. The man and woman reached the Canadian shore. The Ice Is piled In a g rcat mass about the abutment of the upper steel arch , and It Is rumored that the structure has been Injured , but this cannot bo verified. The steamer docks on each sldo of the river have been wrecked and the Ice has piled close to the Inclined railway building In the gorge so that It Is In danger. HEATHENISM STILL LINGERS _ Shinto mill Iluildlilxt I'rlent Ply Their Crnft with Snccenn In the Inland of Hnwnll. I3OSTON , Jan. 23. The American board of commissioners for foreign missions has just received nn Interesting report on the present condition of the Hawaiian Islands. The report Is from Rev. J. LeadliiRham. After stating that Intoxication is ruining scores and hundreds of the natives , Mr. Leadlngham says : Heathenism la also a foe which Christianity must still encounter here. Besides the lingering remnants of Hawaiian heathenism Is that which U Im ported from China and Japan. Shinto and Duildhlst priests arc active In support of their faith among the Japanese laborers In some places In the Islands. On a recent trip to the Island of Hawaii * Mr. Lcaderlngham saw on one side of the road a building in front of which were some peculiarly shaped banners attached to tall poles. A pathway leading to the building through the steep bank by the roadside and the banks on either sldo of this pathway wore stuck full of short pieces of bamboo attached to which were strips of papers covered with Japanese characters. The building was a. Shinto shrine and the strips of paper on the sides of the pathway were prayers. Here was real heathenism from Japan. U Is no common sight to BOO a hack loaded with Chinamen , and having with thorn a nicely roasted pig , on the way to the cemetery to pay their homage to their dead ancestors.

It Is reported from Ashevllle that nothing has been done about tbo mat ter and It Is doubtful If anything will be done by the state. It Is not believed that rulllam has any of the money he Is alleged r. to have etolcn and therefore bringing him c back to Ashevllle would' ' be a useless ex- . pense.
