"I have my reasons to believe that life Insurance Is ths most monumental rraua ever perpetrated upon the human race," said Mr. Windham In the course or his re marks. Hs said he would not take time to state his reasons and added that every man ought to hold life insurance for his family's protection. Me favored the 80 per cent proposition, believing it safer than a mere majority or 100 per cent. Hs said neither officers nor members should be given the advantage over the other, and, as he thought, would be the case If the government wss vested in either a majority or 100 per cent of the membership. Wilson of Pawnee and Barnes of Doug las supported the original bill. Jones of Polk favored 100 per cent, which was the only true basis of a representative form of government. He thought the 80 per cent proposition would hava suited old King George, but not the people of the United States. Jones flung at Windham the question: ' '"If you 'Really want the officers to control, why don't you tome out from under cover?"" With some feeling Windham replied: - "I thought I had coma out Jrom under cover, and 1 will say that '80 percent would enable the policy holders to aontrol with more surety and facility than 100 per cent." "Do you want the polloy holders to con trol?" asked Jones. '. .."fee. sir, 1 do." replied Windham.. .... . ''Burns of .

During the course of his -remarks be provoked Jones of Polk to ask:- "Do you believe in compromising; a prin ciple?" r ' "I do so long as human nature is in Its present state of evolution. It Is only the radical and theorist who" believes other wise." '.' A political tinge was then given to Mr. Dodge's remarks. He biassed Jpnes with his party (populist) as a theorist and rad ical, and said the minority was a party of promise and obstruction, " that advocated purity and reform when not In power, and gave neither when in power. BurgesS of ISncaeter pleaded for the) 80 per cent basis as the -most representative form of government. ; ' . . ' ' Jones then rose and said:-' ' ' "I want to reply ta Just one question raised by the gentleman from Douglas (Dodge.) I protest against, dragging this question Into politics, but If he has a chip on his shoulder" and feels able to defend the republican parly I will accept his chal lenge, but this Is neither the time nor place for that." . , ... McMullen In closing the deA&Ae upbraided Dodge for advocating conservatism and compromise "when he introduced one of the most radical measures before this leg Islature."

At 11:60 the committee of the whole arose and reported progress on the bill. When the house reconvened at t p. m.' in' com mittee of the whole It resumed discussion Of the bill. ' Clarke got in an amendment "to make the per cent' basis 85. " Dodge offered an amendment to strike out the provision exempting fraternal in surance orders from taxation. . Hs cited ths paying building property of the Wood men of the World -In Omaha as proof of the unfairness of - such exemption. He urged that to exempt such property was radically unjust to other property owners. Clarke and Andersen supported the amendment. Wilson of Pawnee urged that ths com panies should be exempt under ths classi fication of charitable Institutions.- Coats of Holt asked Wilson if be also proposed to exempt co-operative elevator companies. , , ; v Wilson contended a tax " of this -kind would increase the assessment of the' policy holders, most of them' poor working people, that much. Andersen disputed this point. Douglas thought the provision would not statu) the test of the constitution. He thought these institutions oould not possi bly be classed as charitable Instltutlona Dodge's amendment wss carried. On motion of Burns st 4:30 p. m. ths bill was ordered engrossed for third read ing. The house at 4:88 adjourned. DOISGg OP , THH;; LEGISLATORS Meveaaeat ta Have -OssakV' Charter BIH AaaeadeeV ; .

Into ths Omaha charter bill ths provision to compel tba street railway company to pass between its tracks snd eigbteen Inches on either side and it is not Improbable the movement will be successful. The question of extension o contracts for electric light and gas is also under serious discussion and a proposition has been made to the delegation to have the council advertise for bids for light in stead of a majority of the council extending a centraet. This also may be Injected into ths charter. Senator Harsh, who. voted against 8. F. 88, the Qlffln Irrigation bill, takes excep tions to the statements In several newspa pers thst he went back on his promise to Senator Olffln and thus caused the death of ths bill. To a Bee reporter this morning Senator Harsh said he had not told Senator Olffln that hs would vote for the bill. "I was opposed to the bill," he said, "be cause I did not believe it was right for any company to take over the projects or property of a private individual and use the same for ths same purpose. Had the bill provided that the state could take over this property It might have had some Jus ties In it. I told Senator Qlffln that I would help him get his bill on general file and through the committee of the whole, but I never told him that I would vote for tba bill." The Harsh elevator bill, which was rec ommended for passage yesterday, did not carry with It an amendment to compel rail roads to run a sidetrack to elevators erected off the right-of-way. This amend ment was moved, but was lost. Tha bill as It now stands compels railroads to grant a site on the right-of-way for the erection of elevators to have a capacity of 15,000 bushels and to -compel the railroads to furnish cars to Independent shippers Just ths same as to the larger elevator Interests. This 1 the main object of the bill, to stop discrimination between shippers in regard to cars furnished. Cedar county cltlsens come to the front this morning with a peUtlon to the senate to pass H.

WASHINGTON, March 15.-Republlcan leaders of ths senate are all at sea re specting the sctlon sdvlsable to take In regard to the Santo - Domingo treaty, Recognising that the democrats control more than one-third of the votes and that two-thirds are required to ratify the con ventlon, the sentiment of the republican leaders is that the treaty should be with drawn by the president. On this subject the senate and the president do not agree, and the idea prevails that after one or two days more of Inconsequential discussion the special session of the senate will be allowed to adjourn without date and the treaty lapse. But this plan Is not popular in the senate and a way to avoid It la being sor.ht. Talk of Commission. One alternative which In the discussion concerning it was termed merely an excuse for inaction. Is that Senator Cullom, chairman of the committee on foreign re lations, should offer a resolution directing the president to appoint a commission to make an investigation of the Santo Do mingo debt and other questions Involved In the protocol. This plan was sgreed on tentatively ss the program most desirable under existing conditions, especially as It Is believed that such a resolution could be adopted without debate. No decision was reaohed which may not be changed, how ever, and other plans have been suggested or are brewing. May Get Aid from Democrats. Senator Newlands offered a resolution calling on the president to forward to the senate certain Information believed to be In possession of the State department In relation to the Santo Dominican affairs. The resolution was not seriously considered at the time and Mr, Newlands speech ad vocating adoption received scant attention Later In the day It was whispered that If the resolution were adopted and the democrats felt that If all the Information obtainable would be given three or four democratic votes might result. This would ratify the treaty. The minority party, on the other hand, took the position that no Information could be forthcoming which would change the principle Involved In the treaty and that It Is Idle for the republicans to hope for aid from that side. The resolu- tlon nevertheless remains undisposed of and there wss talk among republican lead ers late In the day of adopting it and put ting it to a test as a vote getter. Among those who talked for the treaty were Senators Spooner, Heyburn, Plstt of Connecticut and Fulton, while those op posed to it were Senators MoCleary, Mor gan, Culberson, Newlands, Mallery, Clay and Bailey.
