tenting. Way of Platte waxed eloquent
hea a. motion made to defer the dis
cussion of the bill for two week, and Inrl
fsntally care bis views of what would hap
pen to the revenue bill that la In course
of construction." "I want this constitutional
convention called,1' he aald, "as soon
possible, the constitution amended and then
revenue bill enacted that will conform
to It. I understand the revenue committee
I -preparing to deluge us with a bill of
200 panes and that It expects us to pa.s It.
We will never do It. In the world. What
the committee ahould have done was to
have nade four or Ave amendment to the
present law that would have given tempor
ary relief and then, after the present con
stitution had been amended to suit present
conditions, an entire new revenue law, con
forming to It, should be Adopted. "
' Balk Sale Bill t niter Fire.
Most of the day In the senate was taken
up as a committee of the whole In discuss
ing the bulk law; providing that no retail
merchant should be allowed to sell hie
stock, entire or In part, outside of the
regular trade routine, without first having
notified bis creditor and filing a list of
creditors with the county clerk. The bill
was amended and discussed so much that
It waa finally aent bark to the committee,
which was Instructed to patch on the
amendments and again bring It forth. Hall
of Douglas took a prominent part In trying
to pass the bill god Wall of Sherman took
in equally prominent stand for Its rejec
tion. A majority of those who opposed the
bill expressed the opinion that It was an
Instrument for the benefit of the whole
saler. Senator Hasty, who haa a habit while' not
speaking of spreading out over everything
In hi neighborhood, not excepting Mere
dith's desk behind his own, and who' while
speaking has a habit of looking Into the
northeast corner of the gallerr with bis
back to the entire west side of 'he house
nd majority of the east aide, was called
down today by Hedge. of Adama, a west
alder. Hasty was reading a few section
of the constitution for, the edification of
those senators who were paying attention,
and In his usual way. was reading with his
back to the west side.
' "Mr. ' President," warmly Interrupted
Relator Hedge, "I object to the senator
trntng his back on the west' side of the
,94use." Hasty hastily faced about. "I ob
ject to .his facing the cast side with bis
back," Said Warner. Just a Hasty Was
about to succumb to hi confusion, Presi
dent Harrison came to bla relief by saying,
"The senator's back look good to the
chair," ' and the senator from Furnas at
once backed np and got a fresh start.

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. Feb. 1L (Special.) A peti
tion "from toe Nebraska Federation of
Women's Clubs, praying for the passage of
a purl food law, was Introduced by Gregg
of Wayne and referred to the committee
on commerce.
A petition was Introduced by Thompson
of Merftck and referred to the judiciary
committee. It was from Central City and
asked for the passage of the juvenile court
law.
H. R. lit, by Oregg, requiring district

Anderson of Kearney, at the afternoon

to authorise and empower board of county
commissioners or 'supervisor to make coo-
tracts for tbet construction -snd repair of
' 'bridges,, to buy material and . employ the
necessary help to construct or repair the
bridges.
Sear offered an amendment empowering
th county board to proceed with the con
struct ion or repair of any bridge without
advertising: where the cost I to fee lea
than HEM. '''
It wa qotlceable that'Dougla and Lan
caater county men were opposed to consld
erlng the bill out-of Us .regular order. Their
chief objection was tilt;; the bill did not
offer favorable condition for competition
fn the matter of bidding for contract for
this work. Spurlock of Cass argued that
It waa the specific purpose of the bill to
make competition Impossible. Mr. Spur
lock further declared-that the bill was cal
ciliated to prevent monopoly by Iron trust
firms in supplying materia,! for Iron bridges.
while McClay of, Lancaster feared that
without amendment, the bill would make
possible precisely this contingency.
McAllister of Deuel thought,, the bill
placed" temptation before county commls
loner In conferring upon them the power
to let contract without full publication,
He thought the present law, with the Bears
amsndment, would be all right.
After consuming until 1:30 In debate, the
.house voted progress on the bill. .

jected.

drawn.

vision for the control of the consular serv
ice along the lines laid down In the re
cently negotiated Spanish treaty.

cedure proposed by the treaty non-Ameri
can.

the decision of the- chair was not chal
lenged.

up the day. after tomorrow, after, the con
clusion ot routine morning business, to
executive work and no objection waa made.
It Is Senator Cullom' intention to take

Hold Courta-Mnrtinl Illegal.

cision of far-reaching importance to naval
establishments.
If sustained by the United State su
pr?me court, to whtck an appeal ha been
taken, the decision will affect every court
martial tried during forty years In which
the sentence Involved a loss of pay.
The case decided wa that of John Smith
fireman, who was convicted of refusing
to obey a proper order from hi superior
officer and sentenced to one year's impris
onment with loss of pay.
The court gave judgment In hi favor for
the full amount of pay claimed, amount
Ing to about $376. The decision was based
on the broad ground that the accused had
not been furnlshrd with a copy of the
charges and specifications on which he wa
to be tried, "at tho time he wa put un
der arrest," according to the requirement
ot the naval regulations.

Construction Corp 1 Crippled.
. The naval construction corps ha been
still further crippled by tbe breaking down
of Constructor Zahm, in charge of Impor
tant work at the nary yard. Mare Island,
California, and the resignation . of , Con
structor ' John G." Lawresey,' superintendent
of the government work at the Union Iron
works, San Francisco. No action has. been
taken on the latter's resignation and- ha
may be induced to "remain In the service.
Constructor Zahm has been granted leave
ot absence for three months to enable
him to recruit hia health.
The shortage of offlcors is Shown- by
ths fact that vacancies now exist at-the
head of the construction departments ot
the navy yards at Boeton, San - Francisco
and Puget sound, with no officers available
for assignments to those stations.

South street and In the heart of the busi
ness section, at 2:30 this morning, com
pletely gutted that building, spread to the
Central tilock. leaving that structure a
wreck, and did other ' damage that' will
bring the total loss close to the half-mil

The fire was one of the 'fiercest In the
history of the city, and consumed the de
stroyed buildings with remarkable rapid
ity. Several lodgers on the top floor of the
Atlas block had miraculous escape ' from
death. The Are started In the basement
