Ail Iruun-Tw alsea Kay, and $1.00, entire session broke loose, the morning session of this last day of the legislature was little different In the senate from other sessions. During a call of the house Inci dent to the discussion Independent tele phone men thronged the senate chamber and flocked around the members, pleading with them to save the bill from the grasp of the sifting committee, ' and they kept It up until Sheldon of Casa finally moved that lobbyists be excluded from the floor of the senate. The big fight came when Gibson, chair man of the committee, reported back the bill from the senate, with amendments adopted by the committee. Other then to move the adoption of the Committee amend ments Gibson made ho motion, which of course would have placed the bill on gen eral file. Tha amendments provided that any tele phone eomiAiny ' should have the right to compel one or more companies to exchange messages with It, even though there were two systems In the town and that In send ing messages It would be necessary for the companies to turn the message over to the other at the point nearest the point where the message wus started. Mockett moved that the bill be made a special order for 11 o'clock, together with amendments. Wall at once objected to this for the reason that the amendments had not been printed. "It Is not right to seek the con sideration of this bill before the amend ments are before the senate." "There Is no well founded reason for con sidering this bill before the amendments are printed. We always have the amend ments printed, so why not these?" Wall concluded. "My purpose in this motion Is to have the bill considered," hotly retorted Mockett. "If we wait for these amendments -the bill will be killed. At 12 this legislature ad journs and there will be no time to get these amendments back from the printer now." i "The printers have three days In which to deliver the amendments," chimed In Sheldon, "and it stands to reason they will not be back by the time we adjourn." The vote to make the bill a special order for 11 o'clock was taken and the motion was lost. ' ' "I move this bill be made a special order for 11:15 o'clock," shouted Mockett, when the announcement was made. "You are Just killing this bill In the com mittee," yelled Dlmery. "Let us have It out for discussion In the committee of tha whole." "I heartily endorse what the senator has said," said Sheldon. "If you are going to kill the bill do It after a fair discussion. Don't kill it this way." Cady said he was opposed to the bill but that he would vote for It to come up for discussion. Mockett demanded a, rOIl call and this was the result: -Yes Hallar, Harah, Hughes. Jeunlnfa, . Jonas, Lararty, Brthtol, nreaaa, Cady. Dimary, Kpparaoa, Good, No rn.i. Oltnoo, Oltnn. omign. uoulcl.

Peterson was absent when the voting be gan and at the competition of the roll call the vote stood 16 to 14 In favor of the mo tion. Instantly a call of the house was de manded and then was when the lobby got busy Importuning members to vote In the affirmative. The sergeant-at-arms reported that he could not locate Peterson and an attempt was made, though it failed, to raise yie call. The sergeant-at-arms was then Instructed to hunt until he did find the absent member. Presently Peterson came in and promptly voted no, .thus killing the motion, there falling to be 17 votes cast in the affirmative. ' The first thing on the program thia morn ing was the passing of the Omaha charter bill with the senate amendments. No votes were cast against the bill, Thomas being absent owing to an operation upon his eye which he underwent last night. The flag which files over the senate end of the capltol will be presented to the Grand Army of the Republic post at Ran dolph. Harsh moved that It be donated to the Kearney Normal school, but upon an amendment by Haller It was given to the Grand Army poet. - H. R. 327 ,the bill to give fees to district clerks, was advanced to third reading. The bill was indefinitely postponed yesterday, but the vote was reconsidered this morn ing. On motion of Fries, all bills not on the sifting committee's file, carrying appropria tions or on third reading, were Indefinitely postponed. The senate wound up a wild day in a wrangle over who should compile the Jour nals and prepare the copy for the session laws. Epperson moved that the Job be given Secretary Wheeler and that he be paid $1,200 for the work. Gibson, in a speech eulogistic of Assistant Secretary Oreevy. moved an amendment that Wheeler and Oreevy be given the Job and that tha pay be $4 a day for every day actually em ployed, not to exceed $1,000. After much wrangling. In which It was brought out that Wheeler and Greevy were not getting along very harmoniously, the work was given to Wheeler, and ha will receive $4 a day, not to exceed $1,000, The senate then took a recess for a few minutes, which meant until $:S0 Friday.

(Speclal.)-Senator Thomas spent the last day of the session nursing a bad eye. For several days the member has been troubling him consider ably snd last night, through the medium of a specialist, he found that he was suffer- InT from the effects of a long-named ulcer, which was Just Incubating. He had the offending thing cut out and as a result spent a sleepless night and a very bad day, When Senator Fries made his motion this afternoon to Indefinitely postpone all bills not on the sifting file, bills not carrying appropriations and bl'le not on third read Ing, the effect was like a dull thud, though It carried almost unanimously. Among those bills which met such an untimely end were the fraternal congress bill, the Fish back telephone bill, over which a hard fight occurred this morning; the Dodge railroad and commerce bill, the Muxen fire and police board bill and the Kyd elevator bill. This last bill was recognized by the sifting committee as a most dangerous measure. One "member of the sifting com mittee, to whom Kyd had applied for help In lifting the bill, said It would sew up the farmers so tight that It would be Im possible for them to bunch up and haul their hogs to town together. But these were not the only measures killed by any means. The famous "antl-hoochie koochle" bill, fathered by the Lancaster delegation (though each member tried to lay It on the other), will be found among the dead. A shiver went over the members when It was killed. No state printing for Nebraska Just now. Succinctly stated this Is the report of the special committee on this subject appointed in the house. Gerdes of Richardson was chairman of the committee. His report states that the committee found after some Investigation that the state could not do Its own printing as cheaply as It could hire It done and that therefore It would not be the bept business stroke to appro priate money or take steps toward the establishment of this plant. The commit tee stated, however, that It did not have time to investigate the matter to the ex tent of looking Into the results achieved by those states having state printing plants. Ths report was adopted. Governor Mickey threw a bomb into the center of activities of many legislators to day when he caused it to be known that probably he would veto H. R. 306, by Zue low of Colfax. This bill passed the house and senate by large margins. It was sup ported not only actively by leading mem bers, but by many outsiders In . various counties where It was demanded. Repre sentative Zuelow has made the fight of his legislative career for the bill and he has not yet quit. In fact, he has injected new energy Into the fight since the gov ernor's position has become known. He has, with the aid of friends, been Indus triously circulating a petition In the senate and house for the passage of the bill over the governor's veto and the Indications are a majority of the membership will sign this petition. Governor Mickey Informed Mr. Zuelow late this afternoon that he could not give him a definite answer as to what his action on this bill will be until tomorrow morning. If Mr. Zuelow loses ths fight It will be after he has exhausted his last resource. The bill provides that where a bridge of 600 feet or more Is now standing In any county in the state that upon Its being conveyed to the state It shall then be the duty of the state to maintain such one bridge In each county thereafter. This Is left, however, entirely with the discretion of the Board of Public Lands and Build ings, so mat it aoes not make it com pulsory. The Idea Is to aid counties whose bridge funds are nut adequate. For "Matt" Greevy, assistant secretary of the senate, the most exciting and auspicious moment of the session was that when he marched up the aisle of the house and read to that body the formal announcement that the senate had passed the Omaha charter bill with certain amendments. As he crossed the threshold of the house Greevy observed to an Omaha compatriot who was standing near -the door, "Get out of the way. I have the charter with me." And It was all In earnest with Greevy, too. Never did man feel the weight of his grave responsibility more than did this faithful officer Just at this time. To him no measure has been- before either house which was fraught with more serious interest than this one. Tha three companion bills to the charter managed to get on the general file In the senate when a large number of other bills went over the transom. These were the bills, respectively, to consolidate the county and city assessors' and treasurers' offices and constitute the office of county comp troller, who shall be ex-oftlcio comptroller of Omaha. The vote by which the charter amend ments were concurred In by the house was 67 to 12. The bill goes to the governor with the emergency clause. The old flag which has floated over rep resentative hall throughout the session will be donated to the Peru Normal school, to float over the chapel there. Scllley of Dodge made the motion which brought about tblo piece of beneficence. Canadian Homeaeekera Wrecked.

The ler has been carpeted and . decorated and numerous arches have been reeted In the streets along the route of. the procession. The Moorish and German flags are displayed everywhere The garrison, newly uni formed, today rehearsed Its part in the re ception under Kald Sir Harry MacLean. The natives are very enthusiastic over the reception to be given the German emperor. Emperor William will land at 8 a. m. and will be received at the mole by Admiral Malek, a Moorish deputation, representa tives of the diplomatic corps and members of the German colony. His majesty will then proceed to the, palace, which has been placed at his disposal by the sultan After a few minutes' rest he will drive to the Marshan plateau,, where tea In the oMorlsh fashion will be served In a tent sent by the sultan, and Abdel Malik will read a letter from the sultan bidding the emperor formal welcome, and present the sultan s gifts, which include a number of fine Arabian horses. This ceremony will be followed by a military fantasia and march past by the garrison of Tangier. Reception at Legation. At the conclusion of this portion of the reception the emperor will proceed to the German legation, there to receive members of the diplomatic corps and the German colony. From the windows of the lega tion he will witness a powder play by del egations of Interior tribes. After luncheon at the legation his majesty will embark and continue his voyage to Gibraltar. The city is full of visitors tonight and presents a picturesque appearance. Many foreigners are here and berbers belonging to neighboring tribes are arriving In large numbers. France Takea Matter Calmly. PARIS, March 30. Chancellor von Bue- low's speech In the Reichstag yesterday on the subject of Morocco has not pro voked any commotion here. The officials, press and public dlBcuss the matter calmly and it was not mentioned In either branch of Parliament today. A semi-official state ment in the Temps says: If Germany makes known her noint of view through the usual diplomatic channel It will be assured a satisfactory answer. There is no thought of the question getting beyond diplomatic limits, although the prominence Germany is giving to her Mo roccan policy arouses resentment In some quarters. Dispatches from Tangier give elaborate details of the preparations being made for the reception of Emperor William, who Is expected there tomorrow. The sultan of Morocco has sent - a special embassy to Tangier to present Arab horses to the em peror. Great interest attaches to the ex pected arrival at Tangier of Ralsoull, the brigand chief who captured Ion Perdicaris and Cromwell Varley and who will lead the native cavalcade. - Colds Caste Sore Throat.

Every drop of blood, every bone, nerve and tissue In the body can be renewed In but one way, and that is, from wholesome food properl; digested. There Is no other way and the Idea that a medicine In itself can purify the Jslood or supply new tissues and strong nerves is ridiculous and on a par with the fol-de-rol that dyspepsia or Indigestion la t germ disease, or that other fallacy, that a weak stomach which refuses to digest food can be made to do so by Irritating and Inflaming the Dowels xj pills and cathartics. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets cure Indiges tion, sour stomsch, gas and bloating after meals, because they furnish the digestive principles which weak stomachs lack, and, unless the deficiency of pepsin and diastase Is supplied, it is useless to attempt to curs stomach trouble by the use of -"tonics," pills" and "cathartics" which have abso lutely no digestive power, snd their only ef fect Is to give a temporary stimulation. one grain of the active principle in Stu art s Dyspepsia taoiets will digest 3.wu grains of meat, eggs and similar loods, and experiments have shown that they will do this In a glass oottle at proper temperature but of course are much more effective In the stomach. There Is prolably no remedy so univer sally used as Stuart's Tablets be. cause it is not only the sick and ailing, but well people wtfo use them at every meal to Insure perfect digestion and assim ilation of food, people who enjoy fair healtth take Stu art's Tablets as regularly as they take their meals, because they want to keep well prevention is better than cure, and Stu art's Dyspepsia Tablets do both; they prevent Indigestion and they remove It where It exists. The regular use of one or two of them after meals will demonstrate their merit and efficiency better than any other argument. THOUSANDS FOR THE OPERA (Continued from First Page.)

Omaha, Neb., March 30, 1916. U A. WELSH, Local Forecaster, Weather Bureau, finely balanced mind. He is complete master of his organ, and his singing Is a study in relative values. Above all, he Is dramatic, though his tones have the lyric quality. His great opportunity comes In the fourth act, which he has restored to Its old place cf honor. In this scene ot the tomb Caruso displayed to the full the ex quisite golden quality of his voice. The last part of the aria, sung softly, was in describably lovely. The final climax as he kills himself was heroic In Its impresslve- Dess. In person Caruso is not attractive. He has not the romantic presence or the poetic quality supposed to be the inseparable ad Juncta of a great popular tenor, but his singing makes up for all. Sembrlch! How is it possible to describe the crystalline purity and sweetness of her voice, and the warmth of her temperament. She has everything voice, temperament and graclousness of personality, that Is as much a gift as her voice. II was she who gave the sign for the repetition of the sex tette, after thunderous appreciation from the audience. When have we heard such an Interpretation of this great composition? Caruso's voice was at its best and Sem brlch rose to a fine dramatic height. No wonder the house cheered and Insisted upon hearing It again. Sembrlch sang the Cavltina In the first act with exquisite feeling, and some of her electric quality. She and the audience were in complete sympathy very early in the evening. She reached the climax of her powers In her singing of the "mad scene," which was remarkable In every way. What a combination! Caruso and Sem brlch! Such a one cannot happen many times in a century. The audience last night certainly appreciated its privilege. The orchestra, under the direction of Mr. Arturo Vlgna, did highly satisfactory work. The scenic effects were good, but nat urally a bit stiff and stilted. The chorus did some fair singing and a good bit of standing around. The other members of the cast were satisfactory. It was pleasant both to hear and see Miss Bauermelster. It Is to be hoped that she will not retire for many years to come. Herr Stengel was down In the audience watching his wife's success with his usual enthusiasm and earnestness. Apropos the old story of his nose, Mme.

DIFFERENCES OVER EQl IPMET Manager of Opera Company Objecta to Contract of Agent. When the scenery and other stage equip ment was being removed from the Audi torium last night some questions arqse as to the ownership of some ropes and electrlo light globes, and for a time the discussion became very animated between Manager Goerlltz of the opera company and Presi dent Nash of the Auditorium. It required only a few words to dispose of these ques tions, but the discussion took on additional features, in which Manager Goerllts dis closed the fact that some of his expecta tions had not been realised, one of them being that after he had agreed that all ex penses connected with the constructing of the stage arrangements In excess of 11,000 should be borne by the opera company, Mr. Nash had declined to change the contract In tho Interests of Mr, Goerlltz. Mr. Goer lltz admitted the terms of the contract and that the Auditorium company was only abiding by Its agreed upon rights, but he wanted to have the terms changed.

During his forthcoming inspection of the Siberian railroad Minister of Railroads Hllkoff proposes tp make an exhaustive In quiry Into the possibility of organizing a big system of transport along the rivers. Russians Watch Washington. 1 p. m. There was no further peace news today. All eyes are centered on Washing ton and Paris, where developments are anticipated. The Washington dispatches are scanned with especial eagerness. The reports of President Roosevelt's conferences with Minister Takahlra and Ambassadors Jusserand and Von Speck Stenburg, In spite of official denials, are believed In diplomatic circles here to relate to the opening of negotiations. The foreign office continues to maintain that Russia has taken no official step, which certainly Is literally true. There Is an Important admission. however, that Ambassador Jusserand upon his own responsibility may have given President Roosevelt the French Idea of Russia's position. The French embassy also Insists that It has no knowledge of what move, If any, has been made. The attitude of all the parties concerned, however. Is only regarded as natural at such a delicate stage when the negotiations have not actually begun. Csar Not Ready for Peace. 11:25 p. m. Members of the war party, who are at daggers' points with the friends of peace, are Industriously insinuating that If Russian diplomacy is doing anything In the dlrecton of peace It Is without Imperial sanction and Is in reality only an unofficial endeavor to Induce Japan to agree to ne gotiate on' the lines of no cession of terri tory and no indemnity, and to enable the advocates of peace to point out to the em peror that peace Is possible without na tional humiliation. To show that the em peror Is still recalcitrant on the question of ending the war, they are spreading a story to the effect that when Foreign Minister Lamsdorff, In advocating the advisability of peace, drew the gloomiest picture of the situation In the near east, his majesty be came angry and lost patience. The perseverance with which these stories are repeated Indicates beyond doubt that they are circulated with a deliberate pur pose. Incite Fear of Japanese. MOGHILEV, Russia, March 30. Procla mations have been scattered broadcast here calling on the people to support the existing order to escape a second Mongolian yoke, the Japanese being described as worse than the- locusts of Egypt. It Is added that once they establish themselves In Asia they will not only possess Manchuria and Coreo, but will swarm over and drive out the Russians from Siberia. Would Let Belligerents Alone. BERLIN, March 30. The suggestion that an international congress might be called to arrange the Russian-Japanese terms of peace find no favor at the Foreign office here, where a full settlement between the belligerents, without the Interference of others powers, Is much preferred. An In ternational congress would mean a de rangement of the present equilibrium of Interests because those undertaking to settle peace would seek advantages for themselves as a proper brokerage on the transaction. The strongest obstacle against peace appears to be the Influence of the Russisn military body, which still stands resolutely for a continuance of the war. Fate of Two Merchantmen. TOKIO. March 80 The stesmer Industry, whose nationality has not been ascertained, was seized by tns Japanese on March 2X. It wss presumably bound for Vladivostok.
