WASHINGTON, .March 10. It appears
that tho trouble ut the naval observatory
Is not altogether of a personnl nature. It
Involves tho old question of whether tho

professional astronomer. The latter view
has been held by tho nstronomlcnl profes
sion ut large nnd nlso by such secretaries
as Secretary Trncy nnd Secretary Long.
This Is not founded upon tho llndlng nf
persons qualified In tho lino of the navy
or upon nny dibsatlsfurtion with the pres
ent incumbent, but upon tho fact that tho
frequent changes of duty to which navnl
officers nro subject ut short intervals pre
vents continuity of administration, nnd
nlso upon tho prluclplo that tho appoint
ment of superintendent should bo mndo
from perform lu or out of tho naval serv

LINCOLN, March 10. (Special Telegram.)
liny in the senatorial namo will bo ro-
sullied In joint session tomorrow, with tho
men on 1110 hoard In substantially tho sauio
positions us when adjournment wns taken
last week. Looking back over tho balloting
of the week just closed, qulto 11 chnngo lias
takeu placo lu tho general nltcumetit.
rho Thompson strength hns held Its own
so far. but has undergone 1101110 severe
pressure from tho outside, sllinulale.1 bv
tho notion of tho opposition In soiidlng 11
new bunch of votes on Mr. Hlnshaw as his
most lormldnblo South Platte competitor.
In conjunction with this movement tho
mills havo drawn a number ot votes uway
from Melklejohn. whoso prestlgo hns like
wise been Impaired by tho early announce
ment of his Impending retirement from his
position us nsslstnnt secretary of wnr. 1111
which his followers thought ho had 11 tcnillo
termiiintilo only nt his own option. Tho
other North lint to candidates havo prac
tically remained stationary, so far ns their
own strength is concerned. Tho return
of Senator Haldiige made Mr. Rosowaler'H
column stand at fifteen without tho two
compllmcntarles i-cnt from Lancaster In
tho beginning and withdrawn tho early
part of tho week. Tho death of Representa
tive Hiown is also an Incident In tho sen
atorial contest not to be overlooked, reduc
ing as It does the republican strength in
Joint session to soventy-ono. Mr. Drown
had been counted among tho supporters of
Governor Croimse, where his voto had been
recorded from tho first.
A'nlue of Hie ("11 110 ii-..
Tho usual gosBlp about retiring cundldutcs
nnd coups anil now caucuses has been In
free circulation, but always found to rest
on nothing moro substantial than regular
fakes of tho yellow Journal correspondent!).
Tho cniicus has been u dead letter slnco
tho ruling of tho speaker that Its de
cisions wero not binding ns long an less
than sixty-seven participated, because of
inability to get ti .quorum to attend under
those, conditions, A Its last- meeting tho
rmicn-. a.lJewVrul crrt until Tuesday night
when another nttempt will bo mndo to pu
the miic.'ilnery In repair and get It Into
working order. The general opinion Is that
It will bo far moro ensy lo restore tho
present raucus thnn to Instruct 11 no.v
one, becnuso tho men who walked out tho
first night could hardly bo Induced to sign
another call that did not bar Mr. Thomp
son, nnd without them It would bo Im
possible to get sixty-seven names at
tached, while n smaller number, would not
only bo Impotent to carry out Its decisions,
hut also tn exert nny claim upon tho alle
giance of the outsiders. At tho same tlmo
It must bo remembered that tho approach
of tho session's end Is bringing tho sen
atorial situation into a Hhurper focus, bo
caiifo evcryonn realizes tho Imperative ne
cessity of making a eholco rather than
lcavo the two scuts vucont.
Ilenult of Hie Coufereiiee,
National Committeeman Schneider, who
returned to tho state today, lia.s sent down
tho following written Htiitcmcnt with refer
ence to bis cniifcrenco with Senator Ilann.i

Referring to the numerous reports 1 Pl
at Ivo to tbo conference In Now York last

Heath nml Mr. Schneider, national coin
liiittceman thu latter reports that such
11 eiinferonoo was held hist Thursday, but
tho Individual candidacy of nh person wuh
considered. The national committee has
110 ileslro to, and will not, tnko any part
In thu ncuutotiiil matter which can bo used
In favor of nny 0110 candidate ns iitrnliipt
another. There was no agreement or oven
nuggoHtlnri or agreement upon any notion
looking to thu selection of any particular
person or persons.
Thu national committee very much de
sires tbo election of two good repuhileann

Mr. Schneider has gone to lily homo lu

From tho disposition shown by mombciH
who nro In tho city tonight It Is apparent
Hint tho romalplng dnyn of tho legislature
will ho tho busiest nf Iho session. After
tomorrow, tho llflleth day, thero will bo
only ten days for which tho members will
recelvo pay, and this fact, eouplod with
tho general desire of tho legislators to re
turn homo ns soon ns possible, will hasten
notion on urgent legislation nnd nt tho
snnio tlmo havo tho effect of shutting oft
unnecessary delay on matters nf minor Im
portance. Various propositions rrlntlvo to
tho tlmo of adjournment havo been ad
vanced, but havo received no ofllclal con
sideration, either In caucus or regular ses
sion. Tho moBt probubln program and tho
one which has been followed by former
ussemblles will bo for both blanches lo
appoint conference committees to determine
upon what day tho legislature hIiiiII end
Us session. Theso committees will soon
bo chosen and a report may bu expfted
by the end nf tho week. If only llvo day
uru added to the sixty requlrod by law tho
adjournment will bo In tho last threo days
of tho prcsont month.
SiriliiK' Commit loon Supreme,
Beginning with tomorrow only thnso bills
that aro recommended by tho sifting com

tho whole, except by suspension of thu

Tho apportionment bills will probably bu
