Bolldlmc. Corner Sixtetnti. and pougU Strt It Is a quetlon whether the measure will receive the executive approval. The bill I was made a special order fop 11 o'clock and It was after 4 before the vote was takn. Senator Cad y made the leading fight for' the bill and he was ably assisted ! by Fries of Valley. Morkett. Haller. Gib son, Whaley and Sheldon made speeches against the bill. In one of his speeches Morkett said: "I believe politics Is the Impetus that has pushed this bill along." In his concluding remarks, Senator Cady, In answer to this statement, said: "This bill should be looked upon as a political measure. Every good measure should, and the political party that passes a good measure will, -receive Its reward for It." At the afternoon session considerable of the. ground wlilch had been gone over at the morning session wss traveled again. Fries of VSlley, In an able speech for the bill, said It was the only favor left which ,th 'legislature could grant to the farmers. . He told how they had wanted to elect their own precinct assessors and how the legislature had denied them this. He explained that the bill provided for the expenditure of only $50,000, the remainder of the appropriation being used to buy ma terial which would always be on hand and worth the money. In defense of the bill, Senator Cady said, there was same objection to the state making a radical departure and going Into the manufacturing business, but Nebraska, he said, would by no means be a pioneer in the business. He gave the history of the installation of plants In various peni tentiaries and In - every instance, accord ing to the reports he had from these in stitutions,: the. movement had been a pro nounced success. Minnesota was the tlrst, having established its plant fourteen years ago. According to the reports from this Institution the Investment had paid 60 per cent' profit, and now In the fund created by the Income from the sale of twine was $600,000. The plant was now making the stats of Minnesota $40,000 a year, his re ports showed. .. Minnesota manufactures 11, 000,000 pounds of twine annually. Kansas, he said, was the next stats to get in line, and Its plant had been In operation for four years. In three years the profit to the stats Md. tieen $68,000 and the farmers had been ssved from 2 to 4 cents a pound on twine.. Nprth, Dakc-ta has plant, he said, that was paying the expense of the entire penitentiary; Missouri, had Just installed a plant and now Illinois was going to Install a-' plant. - . The faot. that. ths Binding Twins trust was. opposing Ve bill and' had opposed the Installation of plants In all the states, he said, should commend It to the legislature of Nebraska. : He sjppealed to tha members of the sen ate 'to, pass the bill in the Interest of ths agricultural classes. Legislation had been enacted, he said, In the Interest of cor porations, not especially for their benefit, hs said, but at least for their assistance In doing business, but this bill, he said, was ths only real legislation 'that had been attempted especially for the farmers. Sena tor Cady called attention to the number of letters the farmers had sent to the mem bers praying for the passage of the meas ure, and said that should appeal to the members. He explained that the original house bill had been amended so that 1200,- 000 bonds should be Issued, to-be bought by ths permanent school fund, which fact, he said, should silence ths opposition to the bill because of the state's financial con dition. These bonds, he said, were to draw 1 per cent Interest snd should run ten years, with option to buy them up within two years. . The Installation of ths binding twins plant, hs said, would not Interfere with the broom fsotory. Ths present con tract which the stats' has with the broom factory called for tha employment of 128 convicts, consequently there would be no lack ' of laborers to' run "both concerns. Senator tCsdy paid- a nice .tribute; to ths ability of Warden Beemcr and expressed regret 'that hs should oppose the bill.

Hs said he would be In favor of doing anything to help ths farmers that he could, being himself a farmer, but this bill was clearly contrary to the constitu tion. Haller vigorously opposed the bill, saying ths men who were to spend ths- money for the plant were not even required to give a bond. They would under this bill spend $300,000 of the state's money merely ss a side Issus. , Gibson of Douglas county made in effort which was successful In causing the in definite postponement Of H. R. 168, to license commission merchsnts and compel them to give a bond. Tha bill came up this morning and was reported to be In definitely postponed . becsuse of a speech Gibson made to the committee. - The Sheldon tolephone bill ss amended was reported for general file. The amend ments have been published in The Bee. These bills were psssed: H. R. 135 Appropriating $32,000 for the Peru normal school for a library. H. It. 1W Allowing Insurance companies to consolidate with the consent of the auditor. H. R. 1R9 Giving the light of eminent domain to the state university. H.

F. 27 Allowing the governor to ap point a member of the legislature to fill a vacancy during the session, wa recom mended for passage. Senator Glffin attempted to amend the house Irrigation bill, H. R'. 271. so as to give to the irrigation districts of the west the right of eminent domain, but the at tempt failed. The Thomas primary election bill, ap plying only to Douglas county, was passed. lege, declared that tha people would be fully represented In these three commis sioners. Douglas replied by saying that the peo ple would have greater representation In 133 men. or the legislature, than in three commissioners. "I am very much surprised snd not at sll In sympathy with the sentiments ex pressed by tha gentleman from Rook," said Windham of Cass. "He seems all of a sudden to be terribly concerned over the 'desr people.' . I thought this bill contem plated Just the relief the people demanded and needed. I don't take any stock In his argument. Tou leave this thing In ths hands of ths legislature and you simply Increase our susceptibilities of railroad in fluence." Jones of Polk delivered a fine, Ironical chide to Douglas, who "has so eloquently pleaded the cause of the common people." Jones endorsed what Windham had said. He wished the constituents of "the gentle man from Rock might be h?re and ses him pleading for the 'dear people." " Caesell of Otoe took Issue with Douglas on his theory of rights, of the people. s Douglas here arose to a question of per son aj privilege snd retorted to Jones' im plication of Insincerity and said he was Willing to face his people and stand upon his record. ' Perry of Furnas called sttentlon to the fact that yesterday Douglas opposed the commodity freight rate bill on the ground that the legislature was not able to fix rates and today Insists that the legislature Is the proper authority to fix the rates. Perry made a forcible speech for the bill. Foster of Douglas talked for the bill and urged that it be passed. The bill was then recommended for pass sge. H. R. 878, a Joint resolution, by Wind ham, for .a constitutional convention, was recommended for passsgs. The house adjourned for a recess at 6:15 and reconvened for the night session at 7:30. The entire time was spent in commit tee of the whole. Among other bills recom mended for passage was H. R. 346, by Lee of Douglas, consolidating the county end city treasuries of Omaha, making the county treasurer ex-offlclo treasurer of Omaha and the school district. MUST FALL BACK (Continued from First Page.) MORE RAILROAD BILLS IN HOl'lE Elective Commission Measure Recom mended for Passage. (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCON. March 23. (Special.) The popu larity of amending the constitution became apparent In the house this morning when H. R. 309, proposing an amendment so as to allow the Investment of the permanent school fund In city bonds, came up. On original roll call 'the bill undoubtedly was passed. Foster of Douglas Introduced the bill. When many members awoke to ths facts enough changed their votes to defeat the bill 32 to SO. Thess bills were psssed: H. R. 2M, byLahners of Thayer Amends the law relating to ths holding over of tenants and their failure to vacate. H. R. 828, by Gllem of Red Willow-En-abUng Rusaell F. Loomls to perfect his title to a quarter section uf land homesteaded In Red Willow county In 1872, H. R. 228, by Burgess of Lsncaster-The Lincoln city chsrter bill. . Clarke of Douglas opposed ths senate amendments to H. R. ICS, ths McMullen Christian sciencs bill, which exempts osteopaths from examination In materia medlca, practice of medicine and therapeu tics. He held thes amendments Imposed on Christian Scientists the duties from which they exempted osteopaths and there fore made the bill class legislation. An dersen of Douglas also spoke against the amendments. The amendments were con curred in by a vote of 62 to 40. A sharp contest ensued snd excitement prevailed until the last vote was called. The house then went Into committee of the whole to act on house rolls. H. Jfc. 282, by Hill of Hitchcock, Which originally provided for minimum number of trains and the regulation of running time, was recommended for passage after being so emasculated as to leave little of ths bill which might be regarded as of tmportanco and to destroy Its effect. At ths afternoon session H, R. 297, Dodge's Joint resolution to amend tha con stitution and create a railroad commis sion, was taken upv in. committee of ths whole. This bill provldss for an elective commission, but Mr. Dodge said, person ally, hs preferred an appointive board, He "bowed to the will . of ths majority of his friends," however, and provided In his bill for an elective board. -Mr. Dodge at length set forth ths virtues of his bill, advocating a commission as ths most dl reot and expedient way of properly ad Justing railroad rates. He said Nebraska la Just twenty-five years behind Iowa In railroad legislation; that Nebraska stands today where Iowa stood In 1674. v. Dodge moved the adoption of the com mittee amendments, first, - $o leave ths fixing of the commissioners' salaries to the legislature, and second, to pursue ths Perry plan of counting every vote cast for a candidate for commissioner, as a vots for ths proposed constitutional amendment. McMullen of Gage offered another amend ment fixing each commissioner's salary at $5,000 a year, ,' Dodge's bin .originally fixed tne salary at sz.ouu a yesr.: . Windham of Cass, and Wfibstsr of Paw nee opposed tha McMullen amendment on ths theory that It would tend to defeat ths bill, as ths voters wogld regard $5,000 too hlsh. Douglas of Rock proposed . that a .mini mum salary be fixed t the constitution at $3,000 and then let the legislature de termine on ths exact amount subsequently. Hs thought it wss not wise or possible to decide now what ths services of com missioners were worth, On the ground that his smsndment was not within tha Jurisdiction of the house, McMullen withdrew his amendment. Ths committee amendments were, then adopted. McClay of Lancaster opposed an smsnd ment to msks ths term of offtoe of esch commissioner six years Instead of three to bring the bill Into conformity with the biennial election bill that has passed the house. The amendment carried. Clarke of Douglas then offered ths Doug Iss suggestion ss sn amendment and it wss adopted. Perry of Furnas moved a reconsiders Hon of th vote by which ths Clsrks amend ment carried, and after much discussion Clarke withdrew his motion, leaving 'the salaries to bs fixed by the legislature as proposed by ths committee smendment After Dodge moved that ths bill, as amended, bs recommended for passage Douglas arose snd made a vigorous speech Sgalnst ths bill, his contention being that under this act the right or ths people ts regulate freight rates would bs taken from them and delegated to three men. Wilson, speaking to a question of prlvl of the guards were wounded with cobble stones. Captured Japanese report a terrible af fray In tha streets of Mukden on March 10, when a big detachment of Russians, the last to leave the city, were entrapped by Chinese bandits and a few Japanese sol diers, who closed tha city gates and blocked tha narrow streets. According to the re port, which is not confirmed, not a Rus sian escaped. Field Marshal Oyama has communicated to General Llnevitch the news that the entire Russian medical stuff, which re mained in Mukden after evacuation, is uninjured and well.

The ministers and supporters of ths court who advocate the submission ot speciflo proposals to Japan, as previously set forth in these dispatches, so as to ascertain whether an honorable basts of peace is possible, believe they have carried the day, and the Associated Press hears on high authority that an actual step Is imminent, if not already taken. Pressure Comes from Without. WASHINGTON. March 23.-The sudden growth of the sentiment In Russian official circles in favor of peace is not at all sur prising to the officials here because It is In line with the predictions of the American embassy in St. Petersburg when last heard from on this subject. In fact it was gath ered that the real obstacles In the way of beginning negotiations to this end was to bs found rather In the Jealousies of Euro pean powers outside of Russia than in the csar's own court. There have for soma time been substantial evidence that by the execution of quiet pressure from the out side upon the St. Petersburg government It might be InducSd to break the deadlock In the situation which results from the re luctance of each belligerent, a a matter of pride to making tha first overtures for peace. But Just at this point the efforts of the real friends of peace are said to have been negatived by the fear of some of the European powers that their interest might suffer in a settlement which they did not themselves arrange. There is reason to be lieve now, however, that the great finan cial Interests of London, Berlin and Paris looking to their own salvation and tha security of their enormous Russian loans, have risen above national lines and that to ths exertion of their powerful Influence Is due the present promise of peace in ths near future. McC'lernand Goes to the Front. WASHINGTON, March 23,-The State de partment today received a cablegram from Minister Orlsuom at Tokio stating that the Japanese government has responded favor ably to ths request of our War depart ment that Lieutenant Colonel Edwin J. McClemand, recently promoted from major, be allowed to replace as military observer with the Japanese army In -Manchuria, Colonel B. H. Crowder, who Is reported to .ha V8 been obliged by Illness to relinquish his auiy mere, .major u. u. uauiara. corps of engineers, has been designated to succeed Lieutenant Colonel McClernand on ths general staff. DISCUSS A DUTY ON COFFEE Necessity of Imreasing tbe Government'! Revenue Apparent MIGHT -HELP OUT ISLAND POSSESSIONS Secretary Shaw and Senate Allison Visit New Yerfc and Confer Re- Mere Revenue. (From a Staff Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, March 2J. (Special.) The proposition to restors ths customs duty on coffee continues to be liberally discussed st the capltol. Tbe fact that a duty on coffee of IV, cents per pot""1 w" levied in the first tariff act of 1789 and that It always paid a duty ranging from I to 6 cents a pound until exempted under a spe cial act of 1872, has been given as a reason why there should be no objection to a small duty on It now. In view of the ne cessity of raising mors revenue. Some of the democratic senators indtcats sympsthy with the proposition, probably because If coffee were rslsed In the United States at all it would be In the southern states. Louisiana and Texas hava been specially mentioned as having, lands sdapted to coffee culture. At. ths same time, ss a prominent democfatlo senator remarked today: "To advance the placing of a duty on an article which Is now cm the free list would be a departure from the tradi tional policy of the democratic party. All democrats are anxious snd willing to help the Filipinos and Porto Ricsns, but I would havs to consult with my colleagues as to the policy of the party before com mitting myself one way or the other." Senator' Bailey's View. Senator Balley'of Texas apparently thinks the republicans will be compelled to Im pose a duty on coffee whether they wish to do so or not. In discussing the subject today Senstor Bailey said: "Ths expendi tures of the government are certain to ex ceed Its revenue during ths next fiscal year, and congress at its next session will bs brought face to face With the necessity of reducing appropriations or increasing collections. Those who are familiar with the tremendous pressurs for sven larger appropriations than ars now provided un derstand the Impossibility of curtailing public expenditures; and It Is certain, therefore, that more money must be raised. More money cannot be raised by Increasing tariff duties, because they are already so high that to raise them would reduce Im portations and thus diminish ths revenue. No party In time of profound peace would dare to Impose stamp taxes, because they are vexations as well as burdensome; and the only thing left for a republican con gress Is to Impose taxes upon tea and coffee. They claimed much credit for the 'free breakfast table' of ths McKlnley bill; snd as the necessities of ths government have already required, them to subject sugar to a tax, so the Impending deficiency will require them to subject coffee and tea to a tax, and thus ths 'free breakfast table' of which they boasted will entirely disappear." In this connection It Is Interesting to note that during the pest seven months there he's been an Increase of over $30,000,000 In the ItriDorts of articles of food over the corresponding period of the last fiscal year, the greatest Increase . being $17,000,000 In coffee, due to the enormous Increase In consumption of more then 100,000,000 pounds psr year. "As sugar bears a duty on both raw and refined, why not coffee?" say ths advocates of ths proposition. ..... Allison Explains Action. 'Senator Allison wUJ leave hers In a few days for Iowa. The senator says that no action will be taken at present by the sen ate committee of flpance under the resolu tion passed Just before congress adjourned, authorizing an inquiry relative to customs, internal revenue and other matters relating to the finances of the government Senator Allison says that the resolution was pre sented by him at the request of Senator Aldrlch, chairman of the finance committee, and was passed In order that ths committee might havs authority to Inquire Into these several matters should it bs deemed expe dient. It . Is not Senator Allison's intention, as the second man on the finance committee, to call the committee together during the absence of Senator Aldrich, and he does not know ths Intention of Senator Aldrlch In ths matter. Senator Allison said that the finance committee of the senate would be very careful In taking any step relative to revenue matters, as the house Is charged with the duty of originating revenue legis lation, and it would bs Improper for the senate to take the Initiative In legislation affecting the revenue, Shaw Visits New York, NEW YORK, March 23,-Secretary Leslie M. Shaw of tbe Treasury department has Visited this city and, together with Senator Allison of Iowa, consulted with local In terests, It Is said, concerning proposals connected with suggested tariff revisions to be considered by a special session of congress In the fall. Senator Allison, whp Is ranking member of the senate finance committee in the ab sence abroad of the chairman. Senator Aldrlch, has been here since Monday con ferring with representatives of various traders as to possible effects of reductions In schedules affecting their products. While planning to leave the city, early today, he will return from time to tims during the next two months to meet other members of his commute and of the house committee on ways and means. Mean while members of ths committees will con sult interests In other cities and states in order to get a clear Idea as to the best method of solving the questions Involved. I Senator Allison would not discuss ths trades to bs affected, but it Is Intimated by the Herald that In order to make up the deficiency in revenue through reduction ot certain tariff schedules, several of ths least obnoxious of ths Internal revenue taxes Imposed during ths war with Spain will be revived.
