"What does the Union Pactflo think of
tie ew revenue bill?" was asked an at
tache of that corporation.
"'Well, while I would not care to give an
expression for the Union Pacific, I would
aay that as for my part I Olnk the bill Is
ail right. And I believe It Is meeting with
general approval."
It Is said that the measure meets the
approval alio of John'N. Baldwin's attor
ney and chief lobbyists for the Union ' Pa
cific. 'Mr. Baldwla Is out of the city at
jTesent. He- has not, ID fact, been at his
elegant' headquarters here since about the
time that the bill was said' to have been
.radically completed so far as the actual
work f' deciding upon- Its essential com
loaent' parts "was concerned. During the

It ,1s not quite -true, however, that the
bill neets wth general approval. A prom
inent gentleman from Beatrice says of it:
."The Nil will be disappointing to the
people at large, I am afraid, tor It does
not deal 'With the railroad taxation ques
tion as It should. ' One of the main needs
of a revised revenue law was to provide a
mora equitable, method of taxing, railroads
to make them come up (n.'thelr returns, to
the state, nut the bill. I am afraid, falls
la this essential."
U is not believed the bill will be intro

' Gilbert's Bill Killed.
The house committee on cities and towns,
of which Gilbert of Douglas Is chairman,
today recommended for Indefinite postpone
ment H. R. 237, which waa Introduced by
Gilbert, and la which tlja engineers and engine-makers
felt a deep Interest. The bill
provided for the appointment of a board
of. boiler and engine Inspeotors to be con
stituted of stationary engineers. It was
bitterly opposed by, machinists and boiler
makers aa class legislation, since It pro
hlblted tie appointment of any man from
ellfrer of these crafta U membership on the
board, The machinists and, boiler makers
were .not desirous of killing, ibitt amending
the bill, so as to give them the same rights
as .'enjoyed by the stationary engineers.
Ther i wanted to substitute the word, "me

the co-operation of locomotive engineers.

ilIKOQDN.- Feb.- 18.-(Special.) A lively
time was had In the senate this morning
over H. R. X2. providing for a live-year con
tract if e mads 'for the purchase of text
books to" bo furnished pupils free of costs.
The. bill makes-it obligatory on the school
districts of the state to furnish the free
text books; Hall of Douglas . moved. i to
amead, that Instead of making it obligatory
on the Omaha school, the board be given
authority to purchase. Senator Hall argued
tbstllo some of tkfl srhcolt In Omaha it
was not necessary to have free books, while
In others It waa. so that the question should
u ivri lo iac nisvreuoa oi me ooara.
Deaa of 'Pfcejp announced In aoswer to
Mr. Hall: "We have given Omaha nearly
everything It wants. arid are willing to, ex
cept this and H. R. 171."
William Peitoa waa conspicuous In the
lobby .jthls afternoon and called forth sev
eral, of .the senators, for . quiet confabs.
Those who talked with him said they did
not know what his business here was, but
It is presumed that Mr. Faxton wants to
get off that Bartley bond.

many were there whose presence was not
Justifiable.
Rouse of Hall moved that the report be
rejected, and made a forcible speech In sup
port of his motion.
Sweezy of Adams and Wilson of Paw
nee Bpoke In support of the Rouse motion.
Their argument was that It would be ex
tremely unwlso to amalgamate tUcse two
Institutions. Dr. Wilson brought out the
point that the age limit of the Inmates of
both institutions was below that of discre
tion, and urged that the state could not
afford, though encumbered by a tremendous
public debt, to close the Geneva school.
Perry of Furnas moved to table the com
mittee report, and this motion was car
ried. Objerta to Items in Bill.
The report of the committee on accounts
and expenditures made the previous day
was then taken up.
Sweezy moved that two Items In the bill
approved by the committee be stricken out.
These items were $450 for blue books fur
nished by the State Journal company. and
$437.50 for bill files furnished by Harry
Porter. Sweezy claimed that, In the first
place, the contracts for these supplies ought
to be made by the house Instead of the sec
retary of state. He disputed the fairness
and Justice of both bills, and declared -as
to the files that, while they cost the house
$1.75' each, they were worth not more than
30 cents. .
McCIay of Lancaster argued In favor of
the bills being allowed, saying that the
Journal company had stated to the com
mittee that money was lost In printing
these blue books.
Nelson of Douglas took up the cudgel
against allowing th-j bills, nnd Insisted that
the blue books contained a great deal of
old matter and very little new, and were
not worth $3 each.
Seara brought out the point that any
such contract made for the legislature by
the secretary of state .waa of questionable
legality. "
AicvJiay wanted to strike out or tbe re
port the Item for files. Sweezy wanted the
house to reject the committee's report and
then deal with th two Items, allowing as
much as It decided fair. KcClay called
for a division of the question. Sweexy then
renewed his motion that the report as to
these two items be rejected, and moved the
adoption of the balance of the report. Both
motions carried.
Sweezy then reported that the revenue
bill had been completed. Invited the mem
bers of the regular revenue committee to
meet and confer on the bill with the spe
cial joint committee to get the bill reaJy
for introduction. To this end he moved the
house adjourn until 2 p. m. Thursday, and
the motion was carried at I o'clock.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 18. The house to
day by a majority of 2 to 1 rejected the
conference report on the army appropria
tion bill because of Its provisions for the
retirement of civil war officers at an ad
vanced grade, and permitting officer to de
posit money with the government at 3 per
cent Interest. The hous ' etaphatlcally
voted against both proposltiona and sent
the bill back to conference.
The proceedings on the conference report
were enlivened by' a sharp personal clash
between Mr. Hull (la.) and Mr. Slaydeh
(Tex.). The remainder of the day was de
voted to the naval bill. Slow progress wss
made, only twenty pages being covered.
Bill Is' Sot Repealed.
The speaker announced that the commit
tee on rules .had considered tbe question
asked yesterday by Mr. Cooper (Tex.) con
cerning a bill passed Monday, which be
thought technically repealed the river and
harbor bill and had found . that th as
sumption was Incorrect.
Mr. Hull (Ia.) then called up the confer
ence report on the army appropriation bill.
Mr. Hay- (Va.), one of the conferee
strenuously opposed the adoption of the
bill, because ot the provisions for the re
tirement of army officer who served in the
civil war and'permlttlLg army officers to
deposit their money with th government
at 8 per cent Interest.
Mr, Hay expressed the opinion that tbe
latter provision would establish a danger
ous precedent; that It would lead to the
granting of the same privilege to naval
officers and might be extended to civil em
ployea of the government. He character
Ized It "paternalism run mad."
Mr. Slayden (Tex.) charged Mr. Hull with
bad faith In not giving tbe house a chance
tor a vote on the deposit amendment.- He
said Mr. Hull bad promised such a vote.
"I deslr to aay," Interposed Mr. Hull,
"that that statement la not true."
"The gentleman'a courtesy." retorted Mr.
Slayden, "Is equal to his veracity. It la
cheap form of argument which permits th
gentleman to indulge In the expression he
has used and only the fact that I am at the
bar of the house restrains me from reply
ing to his blackguardism aa It' deserves,"
This aroused the bouse and Mr. Mann
(111.) undertook to rebuke Mr. Slayden. He
said be was surprised that Mr. Slayden
ahould use an expression '.'far worse" than
that employed by Mr. Hull.
"The gentleman'a idea of good manners
does not especially .commend itself to
me," replied Mr. Slayden.- -
He then quoted from the record to show
that Mr. Hull had virtually pledged the
house an opportunity to vote on this prop
osition. Mr. Stevens (Minn.) moved the adoption
of the conference report. .
-Object to Senate Proeedare.
Mr. Cannon protested against the .man
ner in which appropriation bflla were
loaded by the ' senate with all aorta, of
legislative provisions that . were not In
order In the house.' The practice', he de
clared, not only demoralized appropria
tion"1 billsT but would breed ' scandal and
deserted crltfelsmV" ' ' " '1 '" ' ' '
"In the house," said he, "we legislate
under rules. In another body (the senate)
they legislate under ' unanimous consent.
Gentlemen know' what that means."
Mr. Richardson (Tenn.) In opposing the
conference report, declared that whether
he had sought to do so or nof Mr. Hull bad
misled the house.
Mr. Hull concluded the debate, defending
his position and claiming to be merely
carrying out Instructions. Personally, he
would have preferred to have allowed the
house to pass upon the amendments sep
arately. (
The conference report was voted down,
33 to 69.
The house by specific vota Insisted upon
Its disagreement to the retirement and
officers deposit amendments. The bill was
sent back to conference and tbe ho:' - '
aunied consideration of the naval appro
priation bill.
An appropriation of $100,000 for expense
incident to the occupation of the new
naval atatton which the government la to
acquire from Cuba was placed In ths bill
at the request of the Navy department.
Mr. Gaines (Tenn.) took advantage of
the Item Increasing tbe Unit of cost of the
new naval academy to $1,000,000 to com
ment on the fact that the Increase waa de.
manded on account of the higher cost of
material and labor, and offered an amend
ment to admit free of duty materials for
the buildings at th naval academy. The
amendment waa ruled out on a point ot
order. " 1
The committee rose and at 5 the house
adjourned.

resolution, he Insisted, called on the senate
praCllcallj to closure thos who happened
to b conscientiously opposed to the omni

Mr. . .Teller (Colo.) . agreed with Mr.
Spooner and believed In maintaining free
discussion. .
Mr. Piatt (Conn ) said that be illd not
believe in absolute untrammeled debate
when It reaches thiv point of obstruction.
JUr. Lodg (Mass.) said a majority In the
senate always obtained a vote when It wss
a rsal majority, which must be something
more than numerical.
Mr. MeComas (Md ) offered a substitute
for the resolution, which wss a ropy of an
amendment to the rules of the senate
offered by Mr. . Piatt (Conn ) some time ago,
and providing for a limited closure.
Mr. Dubois (Idaho), answering partlcu-
lary Mr. Lodge, declared that If a majority
of the senat thought It for the beet Inter
ests of the country to pasa a bill they ought
tq be allowed to vote and not be compelled
to belong to the. majority party. "Other
wise," said he, "the minority might Just as
