I.e Oppuira Rill.
l,e, lu opposing the bill, was the nxt
ejesker.
"The most o( Mr. UodRes argument I
founded upon nili presentation," he ns
strtd. He then gave his rclew of the hiMory
of the water work uml what brought about
this water board budnens. Iodgi had nc
rused the council of betraying' the city's
lnterata in wilfully neglecting to bfgtn
proceedings for the acquisition of the water
worki aa authorised In the contract with'
the city and the water company. Lee cor
rected t h la statement and Informed the
house of the facts, that it waa because
of an adverse decision of the City attorney
that the council and mayor did not pro
ceed. "I am aorry this young man haa de
scended to the low level of peraonal abuae,"
exclaimed Lee, taking heed of Dodge'a
falae insinuations that because the water
worka company had offlcea in The Bee
building Mr. Rosewaier was actuated
against this bill.
"That charge or Insinuation la unfair,
ungentlemanly and dishonest," declared
Lee. "If there la an unpurchaaable man
In the state of Nebraska that man is Ed
ward Roaewater." . .
Turning to Dodge, he declared, with
vehemence;
"I challenge you, sin, to suataln the ugly
charge you have made."
Dodge waa paleand silent, except to ask
If the water company waa not paying a
certain amount of rent.
"I don't care what amount of rent it
paya; it haa no contract with Mr. Roae
water. He positively refused to make out a
lease for the rooms the water company
occupies, because he waa not anxious about
ita retaining the quarters. I know that,
air, to be a positive fact."
Riddle Dodge'a Argument.
One of the moat grotesque features of
Dodge's speech wna his rending of certain
charges against the water company In
politics In the Omaha Daily Newa of No
vember 8, the organ of the Fontanelle
club and the Howell faction.
"I am surprised," aald Lee, "that my in
telligent young friend would drag Into hla
argument anything which a yellow journal
might say. Is that the kind of testimony
to submit to this legislature?"
"You've heard much from Mr. Dodge
about the uprising of the people of Omaha
for Mr. Howell," said Lee, "but I want to
tell you the people don't need to rise up
for that man, for be Is always on the go
for himself."
Lee gave an Interesting explanation, In
reply to Dodge, of Howell's bolting the
regular republican ticket in the last fall
campaign and going over to Join, handa with
the democrats in order to foist himself
upon the people. .
Lee made a moat forceful argument
against the propriety of .passing this bill.
Impressing upon the house the fsct that
, while Omaha haa had a water board for a
period of nearly two years, It does not
possess a water system of Its own and
probably will not for a number of years,
until the matter can be fought out In the
courts. He urged upon the house the plea
that the water board now waa an expensive
sinecure, wheh the people do not want to
maintain.
Attltaoa of Others.
Andersen, speaking for the bill, read a
comparative statement of water rents to
show Omaha was charged too much.
Barnes effectively met thla argument by
showing that while in soma cases Omaha
was paying higher rents than other cities,
at the same time Omaha's water came
from the muddy Missouri river and conse
quently the cost of clarification was corre
spondingly higher. .Nevertheless he de
clared for municipal ownership of the plant
under proper proceedings, but not those
provided In the Howell act.
Clarke, the ugh talking but for a brief
period, waa impressive in defending the
bill. It waa plain to be seen, though, from
Clarke's speech, aa well as from those of
Dodge and Andersen, that it bad been
agreed to make the main argument on the
falso doctrine that "The' main question is
shall we or Shall we not own and operate
our water works?" There Is no doubt but
thut the hoUHa was deluded, as it was ex
pected by the Howell forces, by this pre
tense. Clarke said one of the best fea
tures of the water board proposition was
that It vested absolute control of the water
system In the board, taking It out of the
hands of the mayor and council, and added:
"The personnel of that water 'board Is
better thau the' best city council Omaha
ever had."
Uirnes, Dodge a,nd Lea engaged In brief
spats and then Burna of Lancaster took
the floor to say ' he thought aa long aa
Omaha had' not been able to settle thla
matter within its own councils and the
Oman delegation could not agree, the

SENATE! EXPECTS A WARM TIME
Moekett's Divorce BUI Likely to Pro.
Toka It.
(From a Staff Correspondent.) '
LINCOLN. Jan. il (Special.) Members
of the senate anticipate a rra debate to
morrow morning, when the Mockett di
vorce bill is up for discussion. It has been
made a special order for 11 o'clock and the
probabilities are the galleries ' will be
crowded. The Judiciary committee Is a
unit in opposing the bill and as the mem
bers of this committee are all strong on
the floor they will wage a big fight.
Mockett is also a strong debater and has
prepared himself especially for this occa
sion. '
8. T. 122, by Epperson of Clay county, in
troduced today, provldea that the legis
lature shall canvaaa the vote on constitu
tional amendments and make legal this
practice of the legislature. The bill states
that when the legislature finds a majority
of the vote caat In favor of th amend
ments, It shall so certify . to the governor,
when the amendments shall become law.
The bill provides also for the canvass of
the vote on United States senators.
Representative Jones of Polk county, the
author of an amendatory act looking
toward the revision of the present revenue I
act, has this to say concerning his pro

"My bill, if enacted, will abolish the
county BHuessor and , deputy county as

haa not, In my judgment, proven satisfac
tory In the' rural and agricultural portions
of our state. It Is more expensive than
tho precinct or township assessor plan.
My bill provides for the election of a pre
cinct or township assessor for a term of
three years at a salary of 33 ier day for
the time necessarily employed. It further
provides y menns of a large number of
minor amendments for the eradication of
the words, county assessor from the pres
ent law and confers the principal duties
hitherto performed by the county aessesor
upon th? county clrk. My bill provides
a statutory schedule for tho listing of
property In lieu of one prepared by the
state board. It provides for the assess
ment of grain brokers and elevator com
panies not only upon the little tangible
proorty which they porsft. but provides
as well fur a reasonable tax upon their
fianchine privileges under the laws of our
state. My Mil further provides for the
consideration of stocks and bonds and all
other evidences of ownership or control of
railroad companies to be used as a bnsia
for assessing the franchise or statutory
business privileges of said roads. It re
quires all persons, corpora turns, associa
tions and partnerships to sign and swear
to the Fame schedules and it further re
quires corporations and associations to
answer under oath all of the Interrogatories
hitherto submitted to the private cltixen
when listing bis property for taxation.
There are many, other Important features
of the bill, but I deem thete ihe more im
portant. I have been convinced that the
present law required careful analytical
study and reasonable and conservative
amendments. I have therefore had my
bill prepared along lines that In my judg
ment wlh suit the wishes of a vast ma
jority of the private taxpayers of the state
and will give them the assurance that our
scheme of taxation has not reached that
point where It is entirely beyond the touch
of our common citlsens.
CET ORDERS TO FIRE

workmen who would return to work, how
ever, patrols still encircled the "big Indus

In anticipation of riotous attacks. Governor
General Trepoff guaranteeing them against
pillage.
The full effect of the Trepoff-Kokosoff
proclamation has not yet developed, al
though early reports Indicate that some
of the men returned to work this morning.
Several of the smaller establishments are
reported to have resumed business short
handed. Knowledge of the existence of
the proclamation, however, was hot gen
eral among the workmen until they read
It on the bulletin boards, where many of
them angrily turned away, muttering re
fusals to listen to the government's prom
ises. Others appeared to hesitate regarding
what course to pursue.
The workmen appear to lack leadership.
If the authorities believe the majority of
the workmen would resume work the
strike movement will be -oroken and then
the only thing feared is a recrudesence of
bomb throwing. The government is also
encouraged by the comparative quiet at
Moscow yesterday and they hope no se
rious trouble will occur there.
1:10 p. m. At most of the mills and fac
tories where the men appeared for work
the employers decided not -to resume till
Monday. This la the case with the Rus
sian Westinghouse company, ' ,

Prefect Issncs Proclamation.
MOSCOW. Jan. 2.-The streeta this morn
ing are quiet. The newspapers with the ex
ception of three have reappeared.
A proclamation of the prefect of Moscow
has been posted a the street corners as
follows:
Under the Influence of the threats of evll
dlaposed persona a strike has broken out.
I therefore deem it my dutv to notify the
working population tnat energetic measures
have been taken for their protection against
agitators. Workmen wishing to resume
their occupations can do so without danger.
The day passed with complete quiet, the
strikers generally remaining quietly Indoors
and not visiting the heart of the city. The
Ivterskla and other thoroughfares have re
sumed their normal appearance. Several
mills are reported to have offered an In
crease of wages to their employes.
The Associated Press correspondent
visited tho industrial district today and
found that no factories were in operation
In the whole region south of the river, with
the exception of one large establishment,
which was amply guarded In order to pre
vent the intimidation of workmen but there
was no attempt at such Intjmldatlon.
Although the strike Is steadily spreading
the movement thus far has not been accom
panied by collisions of great gravity. To
day's events were restricted to minor skir
mishes on the northern and eastern out
skirts of the city, in which the troops suc
cessfully resisted all efforts of the crowds
to break through the cordon. No bloodshed
is reported.. Roth the . authorities and the
masters have shown admirable eoolrfess In
the face of the situation, the former avoid
ing provocation by studiously concealing
the troops and the latter by displaying a
readiness to meet the men's demands.
In the meantime the workmen nnd the
master are negotiating for a settlement of
their differences. Several firiryi already
have offered nn advance In wages which
would bring up the average earnings of
their workmen to 110 per month and loda;
biss. One firm has offered to knock off one
hour from ihe lgal working day of eleven
hours, but this is a burning question on
which the majority of the masters are tin-"
willing or unable to agree to concessions.
The Danilowsky Textile factory alone
rontlnues working. The district across the
Moskva river Is heavily guarded: the au
thorities remain confident and the police
patrols have been rednoed. The situation,
however, is none tho less Insecure, as It Is
a question whether the workfnen will re
main quiet.

LONDON, Jan. 27.-The Daily Telegraph s
St. Petersburg correspondent asserts that
General Kouropatkln has telegraphed to
the emperor that his offensive power Is
serelously hampered by the obstinate re
luctance of bia troops from the European
provinces to advance against the enemy.
Whilst the Cossacks and Siberians are full
of dash, the Europeans argue that now
that Port Arthur has surrendered there is
no object in continuing, the war.
The Daily Telegraph's Toklo correspon
dent says that Japan la maklrfg enormous
war preparations. Besides Immediately lay
ing down a battleship of 19,000 tons at Yuku-
euka, .and the contemplated building In
Japan of a 12,000 ton cruiser, large addi
tions to the torpedo and submarine flotillas
and two cruisers have already been started
building at Kure. All future ships will be
heavily armed but guns below the ten Inch
will be discarded.
The fifth army Is being organised under
command of Lieutenant General KaW
amura, the correspondent says, who Is call
ing out more reservists. Conscripts are
expected. All men under forty years of
age sre being drilled.
The blockading of Vladivostok Is immi
nent. A fleet of cruisers la leaving for the
south and Admirals Togo and. Kamlraura
will follow with battleships. Three cruisers
and several torpedo boat destroyers are In
the neighborhood of Borneo. A division of
troops has been landed in Formosa.
It is now evident .that the cruiser Taka
sago waa lost. The names of Its crew,
from the commander down are now offi
cially published as killed.
Negotiations continue for the purchase of
a Chilean cruiser. Fifteen new submarine
boats will be provided this year. Ten
recently arrived under control of Ameri
can Instructors. .
RUSSIA CANNONADING TERRIFIC
Wltaeases Testify Resrardlng tho
Trawler Incident In North Sea.
FA RIB, Jan. 26. The international com
mission to Inquire into the north sea in
cident resumed its sittings today with di
minished attendance and Interest owning
to th many fls.iermen witnesses repeating
practically the Wne story. Captain
W ilp'o j pf . theij-Awler Mlno described
the terrific cannonavre f the Russian war
shlpa. Twelve shots 'struck the Mlno, one
going through its galley and another cut
ting Its rigging.
Counsel for Russia, by cross-examination
of the witnesses, endeavored to establish
the fact that the weather was so foggy
and dark that the witnesses were unable
to tell whether Japanese torpedo boats
were present. Baron Taube, the Russian
judicial adviser, asked: .
"If the night waa dark and foggy It is
Impossible for you to affirm that no foreign
boats were among your fleet.
"I don't believe It. We certainly would
have seen them."
"Then you cannot affirm it positively?"
"I can only give my belief."
J. E. Hame, a sailor, also described the
violence of the cannonade. William Smith,
a wounded sailor of the trawler Crane,
told a moving story which produced an im
pression. He described the formidable ef
fect of the Russisn fire which killed the
captain of the Crane, tore off the mate's
hand, killed a sailor and Anally sank the
trawler after everyone on board except one
man had been killed or wounded. Admiral
Foumler (France) oompllmented Smith on
hla courageous attitude during th firing.
A witness named Green said that follow
ing the firing he temporarily mistook the
Crane for a torpedo, boat and so remarked
to the engineer of his vessel, but he soon
lotecfd his mistake. Coursel for Russia
asked how many others mistook the Crane
for a torpedo boat. The witness replied
that he alone made the mistake, being
blinded by the searohlights.
Smlrke, another witness, said he saw
another trawler attempting to cross the
Russian fire.
Smirke's companion said: "Look, its a
torpedo boat." Smlrke replied: "No, It's a
trawler." They went to the vessel's as
sistance and took the dead and dying from
ito, the trawler then sank.

while the second five-master and the four

WASHINGTON", Jan. 26. Tro cablegrams
were received over night at the State de
partment from Consul General Gudger
at Panama relative to the outbreak of yel
low fever on the United States steamer
Boston. Mr. Gudger says:
Boston arrived at Panama thla morning
from coast ports. Japanese mess man died
frotri yellow fever. Paymaster F. P. SHrk
ett. Lieutenant W. D. Leahy and Dr. Otto
Kohlhaee have mild cases.
Commander Nllea, commanding the Bos
ton, also has reported to the Navy depart
ment that yellow fever haa broke out
among the crew of that vessel.
Prompt action was taken by the navy
to deal with the yellow fever patients on
the Boston. Orders Were issued directing
that a doctor on the Isthmus be sent aboard
the vessel to take the place of Dr. Kohl
haee and Assistant SUrgeon Frank E. Mc
Cullough has been ordered to join the Bos
ton aa soon as It reaches the home coaat
on Its way to Fuget Bound to assist tne
ship's doctor. '
The news of yellow fever on the Boston
came as a great surprise to tne omciais
and It is believed by the bureau of medj
cine and surgery that the cases probably
were brought aboard by mosquitoes as the
greatest care Is exercised in preparing the
drinking water.
The Panama canal commission today re
ceived a delayed cablegram from Governor
Davis of the canal so tie, saying that as an
emergency measure, on account of the yel
low fever situation, he haa taken full con
trol of the sanitary work In Panama and
Colon. At the time the dispatch waa sent
no yellow fever cases were In the hospital,
but Governor Davis reports that one sus
pect waa taken to the hospital January 24
and seven cases ' and ' one death on the
United States steamship Boston has been
reported. Dr. H. R, Carter Is Investigating
the cases and conducting fumigating work
there.

delivered a brief address to President
Roosevelt, to which the president replied as
follows:
Bishoo Doane snd Gentlemen: It is a
verv great pleasure to meet you here. It Is
Impossible to overstate the Importance of
the cause you renresent. If the averaare
husband and wife fulfill their duties toward
one another and toward their children as
Christianity teaches them, then we may
rest absolutely assured that other problems
will solve themselves. While I do not know
exactly what It Is that you wish me to do, I
esn ssy In sdvance that so far as In me
lies, all will be done to co-operate with you
towsrd the end that you have In view. One
of the most Unpleasant and dangeroua fea
tures of our American life Is the diminish
ing birth fate and the loosening of the
marital ties among th o'd native American
families. It goes without saying that for
the race, aa for the Individual, no material
proeperltv. nonbusiness growth, ,no artlstln
or scientific development will count If the
race cOnrlte ulotde. Thero'ore. bishop. I
count myaeie fortunate 'n havl"g the ehsnca
to work with you In this matter of vital Im
portance to the national welfare.
