he said. ' .
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. (

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. ,

Last week a delegation of machinists and

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

"We have little hopes of getting anything
from this committee," said. Mr. Brittan,

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.

state Institution if this bill passed. The
machinists and boiler makers claim that

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.

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. R. 175, by Burgess of Lancaster-

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

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.

Lower Home.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON. Feb. 16. (Special Tele
gram.) The senate today completed con
sideration of the Indian appropriation bill
and passed It. In the main It passed the
senate a it came to that body from the
house. The Indian agents at Winnebago
and Santee agencies are legislated out of
existence and hereafter these agencies will
be presided over by bonded school superin
tendents. The paragraph providing an
appropriation of $10,000 for maintenance of
a warehouse at Omaha for the receipt,
storage and shipment of goods for the In
dian service was retained in the bill. The
bill also carries an appropriation of $6,000
for a new water plant at the Genoa In
dian school.
Senator Millard secured the adoption of
an amendment to the Indian bill providing
for the 'payment of $397,984 to such Indians
of the Omaha tribe as reside in Nebraska.
This sum is to be distributed pro rata
among those over 21 years of age who may
be found competent and capable of manag
ing their own affairs.
Senator Millard fday recommended C.
K. Oleson to be postmaster at Newman

Confer on Land Bill.
Represntatlv Lacey, chairman of the
committee on public lands, and his col
leagues, -Mondell (Wyo.) and " Jones
"(Wash.), ere tonight Invited to conference
with President Roosevelt upon pending
land legislation. One of the bill to be
discussed. It is understood, Is the senate
bill already paased by that body, providing
tor the protection of wild animals, birds
and fish In forest reserve of the United
States. This measure is one of President
Rdosevelt's pet hobbles. It appear that
while It has passed the senate consider
able opposition has developed against It
In the house. The opposition In the house
Is because under its provisions it would
suspend tho operation of state laws for the
protection of game insofar as forest re
serves are concerned and give the govern
ment entire control ot the protection of
game animals, birds and ' fishes found
within forest reserves. It 1 feared that
such division of authority might serve to
practically nullify state game law In
many states.
Senator Dietrich today endorsed Repre
sentative Hlnahaw' recommendation and
requested the appointment of Mrs. Francis
J. Horhara to be postmaster at Adams,
