During the hearing C. V. MeConoughy, an elevator man of Holdrcge, esked Senator Brady why It was the farmers, needed spe cial legislation to enable them to engage in tills business, and why they did not go Into It as the elevator man did, without any special laws. "Simply because we can't," was the sen ator's retort. "Out at my Jown, Albion, the farmers have a corporation with J 10.000 capital, and they asked bolh the Union Farlfle and the Elkhorn for the privilege of building as elevator on their right-of-way. They were refused, absolutely. Each railroad tald there were elevators enough at , Albion. So we decided to contest the case and hence the introduction ot senate file 102." Why Telephone Rates are High. , President Yost . of the Nebraska Tele phone company was here tonight to appesr before the special committee appointed by the senate to investigate telephone rates. As two members of the special committee were on the Joint railroad committee, the meeting was postponed until 9 o'clock Tuesday morning. Mr. Yost remained over 'to attend. "I will cneerfully appear before the com mittee," said Mr. Yost, "and answer all the questions I can. I presume the mem bers will question me on overcharges. There Is one thing the public does not take into consideration In discussing telephone rates, and that Is this: In Omaha, for Instance, we are putting In a new switchboard at a 'cost of $124,000, the old one cost us $65,000. 'We tried to sell It and the best price wo , could get was $5,000. a loss of $60,000. Ia a few years we will have to put In another new board and the one we are buying now will go like the first one. - We are com- ' telled, however, to pui In expensive ap paratus to meet tha demands of our patrons. This Is one reason tho rates are high In Omaha." ' The deficiency committee met tonight and pasted on the penitentiary' claims, amount ing to about $3,000. ( Judicial Apportionment BUI..' .

Numerous change are made throughout the varlou districts, a may be seen from sa review ot the list of district published In the senate routine. The proposition to abolish the office ot commissioner of labor wasubniltted to the legislature today by a. Joint resolution In troduced In the senate by Jennings 0 Thayer. The resolution Is said to have a considerable backlog, but it is doubted If It will be able to muster enough strength to carry it through. The appropriation askd tor. from this legislature to defray the expense of this office for the next two year 1 somethlrj over $10,000, and the desire to abolish the- office arises, It la understood, from the disposition ot certain members to cut oft every possible expense of stite government. , Jennlng'. resolution provides for the ap pointment by the legislature, of a commls. ion to conduct a thorough Investigation Into the affair of and pertaining to-the Labor bureau and report to the legislature. Upon this report the legislature will be expected to decide whether .Nebraska hould continue tn maintenance ot this office or not. - Tsrra Dews Boiler Maker. H.

' Last week a delegation of machinists and boiler maker waited on .the committee on cities and towns In the house, of which Gilbert, the author of the bill, Is chairman, and endeavored to have the bill amended, but failed. Today William Brlttan, rep resenting these crafts, came to Lincoln from Omaha, but failed to get a hearing before the committee, as that body will not meet until tomorrow. Mr. Brlttan met Mr. Gilbert, however. "Mr. Gilbert told me plainly he would listen to no compromise, and that if he could help it the bill would cat be amended," said Mr. Brlttan. v. "We have little hopes of getting anything from this committee," said. Mr. Brittan, "but we have great hopes of defeating the bill when It cornea up In the house. We have talked with a large number of mem bers who are strongly opposed to It. The bill ought to be fought persistently by every fair-minded man, for it Is nothing but class legislation." The bill Is said to have some political color. The machinists and boiler makers In Omaha, who have not, by the way, proven a very tractable set In recent political cam paign, had control of the office of boiler inspector there, at least they have been able to keep a member of their crafts In that position for a score of years or more. This office -would be merged Into the new state Institution if this bill passed.

(From a Start Correspondent.) , LINCOLN, Feb. 16. (Special Telegram.) The request of the office of the labor com missioner for an appropriation, ot $10,430 with which to conduct the affairs of the office for the ne.rt two years will likely re sult in an effort to abolish the office. While very little talk has been Indulged In by the senators so far the following reso lution, introduced by Jennings of Thayer, is creating some discussion: Whereas, There is now, and haa been for sixteen years last past, what is known as the office of commissioner of labor in this state; and Whereas, There la now op file with the committee on llnance, ways and means of the senate, a request or an appropriation of $10,430 for the maintenance of said offlce for the next btennlum; and Whereas, After a hasty Investigation by some ot the members of said committee into the management of said office an to the amount of money expended and re sults derived therefrom, the information obtained is far from satisfactory: and Whereas. Doubt ha been expressed by senators and others of the expediency of appropriating money for the further main tenance of eald offlce; therefore be It Resolved, That a committee of three be appointed to Investigate the management of the office of said commissioner of lubor and to report Ita findings to the senate within ten days.

ROUTINE HOUSE PROCEEDINGS Grraar mil to liaise standard of t'onnty Superintendent Makes Progress. (From a StaT Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Feb. 16 (Special.) On con vening for the week at 2 o'clock this after noon the house renewed consideration of H. R. 143, by Gregg of Wayne, providing that no one shall be eligible to hold the office of county superintendent of schools who does not hold a first grade teacher's certificate. The bill was Under debate Sat urday, but not disposed of. Gregg moved that his bill be engrossed for the third reading. Douglas of Rock opposed the bill, arguing that ' many ot the counties in the weatern part-of the state were without first grade certificate teachers and that therefore, if this bill was passed, It' would Impose the' necessity of Import log. persons for county superin tendent. Bartow of Valley thought this was an argument for the bill. Spurlock of Cees made a forcible speech In favor of the bill, urging the importance of rais ing the educational standard. - Gregg's motion finally carried by a vote of BO to 25. These bills were patscd: H. R. 279, by Good of Nemaha Appro priating $10,000 from the unexpended board and clothing fund of the Norfolk asylum to the maintenance of patients removed from that to the Lincoln asylum. H.

House committees reported favorably on the bill to require mutual insurance com panics to create reserve fund, for the erection of a twine plant at the peniten tiary, to allow no exemptions from labor wages for doctor bills. The resolution for a constitutional amendment to allow county superintendent to hold more than two term was killed by adoption ot committee report.

I 0UPL1NG BILL PASSES House Enacts Law to Secure Greater Safety of Hallway Employe. CURRENCY MEASURE GIVEN PREFERENCE For Remainder of elon Conference Report, Appropriation and Other Privileged Matter Can Alone Elbow Fonler Troposal Ont. WASHINGTON. Feb. 1. The house dis posed of a number of bills today under suspension of the rules, defeating two. The most Important measure passed was the senate bill to amend the railroad safety appliance law. A special order was adopted which practically will make the Fowler currency bill a continuing order for the remainder of th session, though it will not Interfere with conference report, appropriation bill and other privileged matter. ...... Mr. Kern (111.) attempted as a priv ileged matter to call up a resolution call ing upon the secretary of war to Investi gate the allegation that the East St. Louis Bridge and - Construction . company had formed a pool with a competitive corpora tion. The speaker ruled that the resolu tion wa not privileged. Automatic t'oopler Imposed. This being committee suspension day, Mr. Wanger (Pa.) then 'moved the passage, under suspension ot the rules, ot the sen ate bill to compel common carriers to equip their car with automatic couplers. Mr. Wanger explained that th bill would compel the railroads to equip with couplers tenders which had been held not to be car and would also require a more gen eral use of airbrakes. Mr. Ryan (N. Y.) said he favored all the amendments "proposed in the bill to the safety appliance law save an amend ment inserted by the house committee, which would give the Interstate Commerce commission power to reduce the minimum number of cars to be equipped with power brake below B0 per cent. He protested that this amendment should not be adopted and asked unanimous consent for a sepa rate vote upon It. Mr. Wanger, however, objected. Mr. Orosvenor (O.) explained that a misunderstanding existed among the mem ber of labor organizations relative to the parliamentary status of the bill. Although strongly opposed' to the amendment re ferred to by Mr. Ryan, they preferred to have the bill passed with this amend ment than to have it fall. Mr. Dalzell (Pa.) bore out what Mr. Grosvenor had said. In hi whole legisla tive experience he had never been so be set by telegrams, petitions and resolutions relative to a measure and yet the bl'l bad never been before the rules commit tee. Acting for the committee on rule, he then Introduced a special order- to give the Fowler currency bill the same priv ilege accorded bills reported from commit tees having leave to report at any time. Mr. Hepburn (Ja.) ' asked it the effeut of the rule would not be to make it a con tinuing- order for. the -remainder of -the session and virtually shut out everything which was .not -privileged. Mr. Dalzell absented to this, but said the question of (consideration could be raised at any time: The rule; was- adopted, 128 to 92. Dills werai passed undorKUBpenalon of the rules to. iuitborlze , the president to appoint and retire George A Detechmendy as captain el infantry; to extend for three year the time for making final proof of the Colorado County Cc-Oprrattve colony; to Issue a patent to certain .lands to Buf falo, Wyo., and to extend the coal land law to the district ot Alaska. At 5:65 the house adjourned. MORGAN REPLIES TO REYES Say Colombian Minister Obtained Garbled Report of Confiden tial Speech. . 1 WASHINGTON, Feb. 16. There- was nt debate on the statehood bill In the senate today. The Indian appropriation bill and the Philippine currency bill both were passed. Mr. Vest (Mo.), while the Indian bill wa up, called attention to a point of order which had been made against one of Its provlslons-on the ground that It was new legislation. - The senate, be said, had passed tha Philippine government bill as a rider to .the army appropriation bill, and yet ruled other provisions out. . Ail rule, he said,' were violated when a majority was fn favor of any measure. Mr Morgan (Ala.) spoke on a question of privilege, regarding the dispatch signed by the Colombian, minister to Mexico, In which Senor Reyes took exception to the statement made by Mr. Morgan that a Colombian president had sold out and abdi cated for $1,000,000. Mr. Morgan declared that the senate had been betrayed by the publication ot a speech delivered In executive session and that Senor Reyes had violated a principle of diplomacy when he obtained Informa tion surreptitiously from persons false to their trust. The District nf Columbia annroDriatlon lll was sent to conference, Messrs. Allison (la.), Quay (Pa ) and, Cockrell (Mo.) being named conferee. Mr. Quay offered a resolution, which went over under the rule, declaring It to be the sense of the senate that a date and hour prior to March 2 should be fixed for a, final vote upon the statehood bill. A resolution was agreed to calling on the president for 'Information regarding the present, statu of th Isle ot Pines and what government Is exercising author ity and control In said Island; what In struction, If any, regarding said Island were given at the time when the military occupation ot Cuba by the VnlttJ State was terminated and what action, if any, has been taken for the protection of the Inter est of citizen of the United 8tate who have purchased property and settled in, the Isle Of Pines. Mr. Lodge (Mass.) then called up the Philippines currency bill. The amendment offered by Mr. Patterson (Colo.) .some days ago providing for a conference between gold and silver standard countries to fix a commercial exchange, was agreed to without division. . Consideration ot the Indian appropriation bill was then reaumed. The committee amendments were agreed to, as were several other ot an unim portant nature. The bill wa about to be passed, when Mr. Vest (Mo.) called Mr. Jones' (Ark.) at tention to a point of order which had been made last Saturday against a provision having tor its purpose the withholding ot ration from Indian children who do not attend schools, because It wa general leg islation In an appropriation bill. He said It seemed that the senate did whatever it wanted to where there wa a majority that disrgerded it rule. He referred to to placing ot the Philip pine measure' on the army appropriation bill and ald it was the moat extraordinary provision on th stattte of th L'nlted States. The commissioner of Indian affairs had undertaken to starve th Indian, In viola tion of solemn treaties, and th attornay I general had usialned him. President Roosevelt, tn his "Life of Benton," had ald the Indians had been treated with great Justice. "I do not agree with the presi dent," said he. "I think they have been shamefully robbed." The bill was then passed. The statehood bill then was taken up. Mr. Morgsn '(Ala.), as a question of privil ege, had read the telegram from the Co lombian minister to Mexico. He declared that If anything wss cald by hlra It wa In secret seoslon of the senate. "Senor Reyes," Be added, "seems to be determined on the success of the Panama scheme." A his statements did not appear in the public record of the senate, the statement was false or surreptitiously obtained. He then spoke of "leaks" in the senate. For yesrs he had witnessed the abuse of sena tors by eavesdropping, or betrayed by per sons who hsd been accorded the right of being prsent at executive sessions, and he had long since caused to expect anything. It was a cowardly form of calling a senator to account for remark or statements made In confidence. The evil seems to be with out remedy, and the only safety wss In open sessions. "I did not say," he continued, "at any time that the president had received $1,000,000 as pay for resigning. I iald that after he received $1,000,000 tn April, 1900, be retired to his home ant) the vice presi dent was substituted In his place." Reverting to the subject of giving out information concerning executive sessions, Mr. Morgan said: "It Is only a repetition of the crime that have been committed' by senators heretofore." At 4:10 the senate went Into executive esslon and at 4:40 adjourned. DEATH RECORD. Denla J. Sweenle. CHICAOO, Feb. 16. Denis J.
