government s course had been known at
the beginning , the army would not bo at

Still , ho did not bellovo American troops

cent uprising. He opposed the Indefinite
postponement , ncxcrthcless
Miller of Huffalo praised the nax'al victory
of Dewey at Manila , but was sorry the
American fleet did not at once sail for San
Tranclsco after the victory. Ho had con-
lldenco In the administration at Washing
ton , but feared the lobby that surrounded
the president. Ho scored Dr Nightengale ,
who delivered the charter day address last
night , for dragging Wendell Phillips out of
his grave and making him an cxpanlonlst.
"If the senator from Dawcs wishes to
niiiko n speech , I would say the galleries
are filling up , " remarked the president , as
Senator Miller closed.
"I thank the presiding olllcer for his
courtesy , " replied Senator Reynolds , "but
I do not care to talk at this time. "
This colloquy brought forth applause.
Sohaal of Sarpy offered a substitute that
the committee's report he not concurred in
and the resolution placed In general file.
Roll call was demanded. The amendment
was pronounced "hopelessly lost" by the
chair , txvelve senators voting In the nfflr-
matlvo and twenty-one In the negative a
straight party xoto. The motion to post
pone then prevailed.
9 , V. 10 , a joint resolution , was reported
for passage. Us provisions aio as folloxvs :
Hither branch of the legislature May pro
pose amendments to this constitution and If
the same bo agreed to by three-fifths of the

actments , was also repoited for Indefinite
postponement by the committee on constitu
tional amendments and federal relations.
Senator Schaal said the chairman of the
committee had promised to notify him wlicn
this resolution was considered. Ho offered
an amendment that the bill be placed on
general file. Chairman Crow of the commit
tee said the president had publicly an-
nouocod the meeting of this committee and
he presumed that was sufficient.
The amendment was lost and the resolu
tion Indefinitely postponed.
Sexoral now bills were Introduced :
S. P. 2 , Senator Trout's bill to amend the
blanket ballot laxv of the state , was placed
upon Its third reading and passage. The
bill was passed by a party vote. When Pres

substitute title :
"A bill for an act to provide for defraud
ing political parties of ttielr just rights , to
discourage the formation of new parties , to

to proxldo for the distribution of the patron
age at public expense and to relegate the
corporation 'bird of prey' emblem to first
place on the ballot and to repeal nil acts
and parts of acts Inconsistent with this act. "
The motion was defeated and the title
agreed to as originally drawn. After the
joint assembly the senate took a recess till
3 o'clock.
When the afternoon session began S. r.
lit , relating to assessors' fees , xxas indefi
nitely postponed ; H. R. 94 was also killed ,

itig part in the primary elections of the

ties having a population of less than 100,000 ,
unless the committee or goxernlng authority

visions hereof , "
The amendment \\nn adopted. Senator
Van Dusen afterward offered a substitute
to Senator Talbot's amendment striking out
the phrase "eo far as registration Is con-
corned. " It was ml opt oil The tltlo was
then amended to make It an original act

passage. Ho spoke in favor of the bill.
Ho said It would keep democrats from
xotlng nt republican primaries and xlcc
xorsa It would favor purer primaries and
remoxe primaries from party machinery
control. It xx no along the line of good
coxernment and would secure the right of
naming official nominations to the majority
of the voters In each party. He said ho
had known Council Illuffs graders to vote

Miller of Buffalo did not xvant tooto

LINCOLN , Feb. 16 ( Special. ) A bill In
troduced In the house today brings the re
minder that charter day exercises of the
university conducted for the edification of
the leglslatlxo members arc proxlng pecu
liarly unfortunate. Two years ago xxhllo
the calsts were firing A satuto nt the close
of the afternoon cxerclso some of the car
tridge packing1 material from ono of the guns
struck Mrs. Lucius LJvwson In the eye , de
stroying the sight. The legislature by spe
cial net appropriated $1,000 for her relief.
Yesterday , belug the second annlxertary of
this accident , xxhllo the athletic class was
giving an exhibition at the gymnasium , A.
D. Smith fell and badly fractured his ankle.
Today Rcpresentntlxo Jones of Gage county
introduced n bill calling for an appropria
tion of $500 for the relief of the young
man , the bill reciting that the exorcises
were being conducted "for the benefit ot the
members of the Nebraska legislature. "
There Is still some agitation going on
ns to the proposed reduction of the salary
of the governor's prlxate secretary , the
general salary hill having placed it at $1,500
per year. Of late years the salary has boeu ,
nt the rate of $2,000 per year , being the
same pay ns that recelxed by the attorney
general , secretary of state , commissioner
und superintendent.
The territorial statute fixed the salary of
the private secretary at $1,500 nnd It seems
that this provision has never been repealed.
Fifteen years ago the private secretary got
$1,600 , n fo\\ years later it was raised to
$1,700 nnd In 1801 there ixas n further In
crease to $2,000 per year. The legislature of
1897 first recommended a reduction of $1,800 ,
but In committee of the xvholo the pay xxas
put back to the original figure.
It Is said that the inclination to keep the
secretary's salary up to a fairly high flguro
has always been ibecause of the Influence
the secretary had In the final disposition
of bills sent to the governor and members
with fnvorlto bills have usually deemed It
politic course to xoto for a liberal salary

The Kearney Uetorm school muddle came
to n dennlte settlement today by the ap
pointment of John C. Sprecher ns superin
tendent and J. N. Campbell ns nBntstnnt.
The new officers proceeded nt once to Kcnr-
noy and their administration commences to
morrow mornlnc. That this action was to
be taken has been known for some time , It
being a question only of how long the
friends' ' of Hoxlo could delay the mattor.
Sprecher and Campbell innko a combination
that la generally acceptable to the fusion
leaders.
Hoxlo AVIII > ut Yield.
KCAHNCY , Neb. , Fob. 18. ( Special Tele
gram ) The State Industrial school has a
double-headed management. The newly np-
pointed superintendent , John 0. Sprcchor ,
accompanied by ex-Senator J. N. Campbell
of Fullerton ns assistant superintendent and
0. C Carrlg of Platte Center us bookkeeper ,
went out to the school this morning to as
sume their duties. Mr. Hoxlo was down in
Kearney , but on his return Mr. Sprcchor
presented his commission from Oovornor
Poyntcr nnd asked that the Institution bo
turned oxer to htm as the legally qualified
superintendent.
There was no handshaking reception and
the temperature of last Sunday was warm
compared with the greeting ho received.
Superintendent Hoxlo Informed him that ho
would give his decision later on and paid
no further attention to him. Ho was not
asked to dinner , but one of the employes
took compassion on the party and fed thorn.
After dinner Mr. Sprechor requested an
answer , when ho was Informed that the in
stitution would not bo turned ovor.
What course Mr. Sprocher will pursue has
not been made public. He Insists that ha
Is the rightful superintendent. He has tele
phoned the governor for Instructions and
is waiting bis orders. It is not learned
which of the two officials the subordinate
officers and employes will obey.
Mr. Hoxle claims that the goxcrnor has
no right to remove him , except for cause ,
and will not give up the position until
charges are preferred and substantiated.

of the mourning that ha fallen on the re
public. The government depends on your
active vigilance at this painful juncture. "
It xvas not until 1 o'clock that the nexvs
began to bo known to the general public In
Paris. From this time began a continuous
arrival of public men. Strict ordirs xxere Is
sued and only members of the cabinet xxero
admitted to the Elysec.
The president of the council and minister
of the interior , M. Dupuy , has requested nil
prefects and sub-prefects not to leave their
posts and directed all those who arc absent
to return immediately.
IllH LllHt IJIIJ- .
Nothing could have given the idea of approaching
preaching death. UD till the very last M.
Fauro Indulged In his customary habits of
work and even in his equcstrlal rides. Ho
ate xx ell nnd slept regularly. Nevertheless ,
several times f oc ntly , ho had been heard
to exclaim : "How xxeak my lungs are" nnd
"I can scarcely stand , " or to make some
such remark.
He left his study about the usual hour , at
7 o'clock , last evening ( Wednesday ) , telling
the chief of his stables that ho xvould ride
on horseback from 7 to 7 30 on the following
morning ( Thursday ) . He then retired to
his prixato apartment , dined with his family ,
xvent to bed at 10 o'clock , got up this morn
ing at C o'clock and informed him that ha
xxould not ride.
M. Lo Gall , on learning of this , hurried
to the president , whom ho found In his
dressing room.
M. Fauro said : "I don't feel 111 , but I
prefer to abstain from fatiguing exercise
today. " Otherwise the president xvorked as
usual nnd read the official documents , dis
patches and newspapers , as was his cus
tom , In order to prepare himself to proldo
at the council , which assembled at 9 a. m.
M. Fauro presided with his usual ability
nnd upon their taking leave the ministers
could not have Imagined that they were
pressing his hand for the last time. Ho
took bis luncheon as usual , at noon , re
turned to his study at 2 and spent the after
noon seated In a faxorite aimchalr by the
fire , conversing with M. Lo Gall , who , about
C o'clock , asked permission to depart. At 6
p. m. Le Gall returned , immediately re
porting himself to the president ,
v , ho xvas then signing decrees pre
sented by General Dallalod , ac
cording to his dally custom. The , work of
signing was then about over and soon ended.
General Dallalod had been gone but a few
minutes xvhen the president called M. Lo
Gall , saying : "Come quickly , I feel 111 , "
CnllH Jor HIM Wife and Children.
Dr. Humbert on arriving gave ether In
halation. The president was apparently
axvaro of the seriousness of the attack , for
ho murmured : "Jo me sens partlr. Je suls
pordu , blen perdu" ( I feel my senses falling
me. I am gone , all gone ) , and he expressed
a desire to sco his wife and children.
When Mmo. Faurd and Mile. Lucio Faure
entered the room the president exclaimed :
"Jo suls boln soffrant ; Jo suit perdu" ( I am
Buffering greatly ; I am lost ) .
Meanwhile M. Faure remained on the bofa ,
repeating that he had no Illusions us to tbo
Issue of the seizure. His xvlfe came to him
and bo hade her an affectionate farewell , it
was a touching scene. He thanked her for
the affection and devotion she had constantly
shown him , end then ho bade farexvell to his
daughters , the doctors and his personal at
tendants , thanking all for their care and
devotion and asking them to pardon any
hasty words be might ever have uttered ,
Until a late hour the crowds remained In
front of the Elyseo , On the boulevards the
greatest emotion was displayed , All street
xenders ceased their sales end hurried off to
await special editions of the papers glxlng
details.
1'nrUlanu Hlinokril.
Many of the papers are already out at this
hour 1 o'clock Friday morning with brief
details of the death. Parisians heard the

Francois Felix Faure , sixth president of
the third republic ot France , xxni born
January 20 , 1S41 , in Paris , and was the son
ot a cabinet maker He was educated at
n prlxntc commercial school nnd then sent
to England for two years to Icnrn the
language nnd to become acquainted with
Kngllsh methods ot business. On his re
turn to Trance he went to Ambolso and
mastered the business of 11 currier. When
quite young he mnirlcd the daughter ot M.
Dclluot , nil attorney nt Ambolso. Almost
Immediately nftorward ho settled nt Havio
ns n commission merchant and ho became a
lending shopowncr.
The better to fit himself for the discharge
of his new public duties , he practiced public
speaking by lecturing on history In an oxen-
Ing class for ndttlts.
He became president of the Havre Cham *
bor of Commerce nnd during the Franco-
Prussian xvnr hold the olllco of deputy
mayor of the city. In these troirtolotis tlnios
ho was also cnptnln of the 'Mobiles ' of the
Solne-Inferloure , In which capacity ho took
part In the skirmishes near Havre , being
recommended by Admiral Mouchey for the
legion of honor. Ho greatly distinguished
himself by the promptness ixlth xvhich , nt
the head \olunteer firemen organized by
himself , ho extinguished the conflagrations
started nt Havre by the communards. In
doing this ho xxas slightly txoundod by a
shell.
During the war Gambctta sent him to
England to buy arms for the Frnnco-
Tlrours and iMabllcs. Ho was doprlxed of
his deputy mayoralty by the Droglteta In
1874 , but ho compensated himself for the
loss ot office by devoting Increased atten
tion to proxldcnt , educational and chari
table Institutions.
In I'nbllc Kcr lee.
In August , 1881 , he offered himself ns a
republican candidate for Parliament in the
Third district of Havre nnd was elected.
He xx ns appointed under secretary ot state
for the colonies In the Gamhetta administra
tion formed In November of that year and
hold the snmo olllco In the mlnlsterles of
M. Jules Ferry (1883) ( ) , iM. Drlsson (1885) ( )
and M. Tirard (1887) ( ) .
In May , 1891 , he hecnmo minister of
marine In M. Dupuy's cabinet nnd was
a-ppolnted vice president of the Chamber ot
Deputies , a position to which ho was sox-
cral times elected. Naturally his business
position made htm nn authority on shipping ,
commercial and colonial questions and dur
ing these years bo compiled a xaluable xsork
on the "Comparative Dudgets of European
States. "
On the retirement of IM. Cablmlr Perlor ,
xvho resigned the presidency January 16 ,
1895 , he was chosen president by 430 votes ,
08 against 361 given to Henri Drlsson , the
election taking place January 17 , ISO. .
All who came In contact xvlth him have
described him as extremely winning In
character , as well as In appearance. His
presence xxas finer than that of any of
his predecessors In the presidency of the
third republic. Dlack eyebrows and mous-
tncho contrasted xvlth snowy , close cut hall ,
his features were finely shaped , the flguro
tall and well knit , the eyes xxere set and
serious.
In 1897 M. Faure xxent to St. Petersburg
to return the visit of Emperor Nicholas
and whtlo there the definite announcement
of the treaty of alliance between France
and Russia was made. He filled many im
portant public offices but In the midst of
almost general corruption he passed un
scathed1. 'T
Inferential * ; Pornonnllty.
M. Felix Faure had a most Interestine
personality. He xvas a self-mado man , to
what extent may bo judged by this little
anecdote ot his boyhood xxhlch his friends
tell :
Ono cold xvlnter evening in the yeur 1851
a email family xvns gathered around the
domestic fltcslde. The xvind xxhlstled bit
terly outside , snow coxered the streets ,
times xvcrc hard and this little family xxas
not rich. The father had just glxen the
mother his xxeek's waees and before this
very modest sum she shook her head sadly ,
seeking In xnln to hide her tears
"What Is the matter , mother ? " asked a
boy of 13 , as he embraced the despondent
woman. "My dear boy , " I nm sad because
we are poor , for , despite all the courage
of your father , what ho earns hardly sup
plies our needs. "
Thereupon the braxo little follow ex
claimed : "Mother , do not bo discouraged ,
I , too , am going to xxork. " Ho raised him
self on hie toefl proudly as ho added : "I
am already grown , I am strong nnd you
shall see I also xvlll bring money hero for
you and for all of us. "
M. Fauro's father xxas a weaver and the
late president xvas born In Paris January
31 , 1841 , The boy kept his word to bis
mother , for he entered ns apprentice Into
a tannery. The beginning xvas difficult , but
by force of work and perseverance he suc
ceeded In aiding his family. Little by little
ho saved some money and , confident In his
star , loft for Havre , xxhere ho first under
took a small business
Success recompensed hlo labor and his busi
ness had rapidly extended xxhcn the xxar of
1S70 broke out. Felix Fnuro was then old to
the mayor of the county scat of the Sclno-
Inferlouro , but ho did not hesitate and , care
less of his personal Interests , abandoned his
business and enlisted in a battalion of the
Mobiles of Normandy ,
Won lleiioun In Wiir.
He was noted for different nets of bravery
nnd soon arrived at the grade of major. It
was then that he succeeded In bringing re
inforcements from Havro to aid Pailn , then
In the mldnt of the troubles of the com
mune , while his brilliant conduct nn the
battlefields brought him tbo cross of chev
alier of the Legion of Honor.
The xxnr over ho returned to xxork und ,
as he grew to be ono of the xxcnlthlest
nrmorors of Havre , his political fortune In
creased also Ho became member , then
president , of the Chamber of Commerce of
Havre and , as ho was a republican , In 1874
M , De Droglle took from him his functions
of major's nld.
Returned to prixato life the generous and
dexoted nature of this child of the people
was not satisfied. Ho wanted to bo useful
and consecrated himself nctlxely to worKs
of phllanthrophy , of mutual aid and to In
struction In 1881 ho defeated the con
servative candidate and came up to Paris i
to represent the Third conscription of
Havro In the Chamber of Deputies Ho
took his place among the republican union
and became ono of the mo t nctlxc mem
bers of parliament. As a mnn of xxorth , he
nltrncted the attention of Gambottn and nt
the time of the formation of the "grand
ministry" wns called on to occupy the
functions of under secretary of state In the
department of commerce nnd the colonies
The 24th of September , 18S1. In the last
Ferry cabinet , he ngnln occupied the snmo
functions , where liu xxn replaced the Cth
