Mr, Butler put on his resolntion on papers and stamps, and placed the number at six esch. By a vote cf 24 to 9 the resolution was laid on the tuble. A proposed amendment to the con- stitation relating to rallroads was read the firat time, Sovoral bills, to amecrd existing statutes, wero read, to which more space will be devoted when they come ap for eonsideration. On returning from the joint con- venticn a discuoelon aroes on the qaestion of adj urnment. Some were w favor of acjourning until Monday 1n #pite of the resolution to meot in jolut convention. Brown, of Lancas- ter, resisted acjournment on the groand that whatever thetr opinjon on the law, it is safer to oboy the com- mon interpretation, and give no cauze to call tn question the validity « f cheir astion, A motion was made yesterday to adjourn till Monday, snd was ruled out of order and the chair was eus- tained. To-day the motivn was re- peated, and a longand warm dispute arose as to the right of the chair to rule such a motion out of order. What motive leads to these vexatious motions ia nct apparent, but it gave Senators Brown and Kinecald a good opportunity to sustain the law of congress, the ordi- nary laws of public bodies and the rules of order which govern the sen- ate. Mr. Kincaid made a good point, that whatever importance members might attach to the rules of order of the senate, they wera but temporsry and subsidiary—the law of the state, and the law of congress was supremo and enduring and controlled their ac- tion absolutely in this respect. Tae decizion of the chair was suatainad bya vote «f 22to 11, and tho senate ad- jourced to meet at 3 o'clock, SENATE- ~ATTERNOON SENSION, Lincowny, January 25.—On motion of Mr, McShane, senate bill No, 1 was taken up and read a third time and passed. The joiut resolution and memorial tn the legislatures «f the states of Kansae and Colorad) and to the ecn- gress of the United States, in favor of railrosd legislation, being Nos, 3, 4 and 7 of the senate file, wore read a third time and paszed, Oa motion the senate went into committee of the whole, with Brown, of Lancaster, in the chair. Senate file No. 8 waa thentaken up, commencing with section 8 Brown, of Douglae, moved that sec- tion 8 providing for a commission, ba stricken out. Mr, Dech moved that when the committee arise, the indefinite post- ponemont of the bill should be rec- ommended. Brown, of Douglas, rustatned his motion, by a refirence to the fict that an cplnion had been obtained feom the cupreme court of this state, that the creatlon of such a commission as 1s contemplated by the bill, is un- constitutional. Mr. Butler hoped noither motion would prevail. He denied the charge that it was a railroad bill. No ratl- road man had ever seen it before its presentation to the senate. As to the opinion ¢f the supreme court, he did not eare for it more than for the opin- ion cf a justics of the peace in the re- motest part of the state. He had been attacked by.an anti-monopoly paper, but he did not intend to spend any more tlme in noticing such per- sons. He had framed his bill on the Illinois plan, and had preparod some amondments in view of the recent de cision cf the rupreme court, Mr, Schoenhcit thought if they had to dispense with the ccmmissloner system, all their leglslation on rail roads would prove a farce. He thought the action of the house in atking for an opinion on this subject, without the action of the senate, very irregn- lar, to say the least of it. He could eee nothing unconstitutional in such a commission, for his part. A flippant dismissal of the matter, in his opinion, would be wrong, Brown of Laic ater invited Brown of Clay to the chair, while he gave hia views upon the question before the senate. He thought before postpon- ing thls matter, or rcforring the bill back to the committee, it was proper to know the amecdrients prepared by the author in order to meet the opin- ion of the supreme court, As to the constitutionality of a commission, he had not had time to look intothe queetion, but he had high respect for the gentlemen composing that court and their opinion, They had been selected by the poople to fi!l the places they held, so it was of no use to talk of treating their decision as of no account. Mr, Harrison was tn favor of hav- ing the decision of the court before the eenate, instead of trastlng to strect rumors; ; Mr. Conuor was opposed to the re- commitment of the bill. It must finally come to the senate, aud it was now here and might be dispoeed of, Mr. Soweis thought it would be right, at any rate, to listen to the amendments prepared by the author in view of the receut actlon of the courts Brown, of Douslas, then withdrew his moti in order that the amend- ments might bo read, Tho first amendment makes it the daty of the secretary cf state, state treasnrer and attorney genoral to act us commieston- ers. amendaent wos approvad, An smondment to section 10 was then ffered by N ler for the appoint- £ n Boer f 83,000 por ¢ m McShave wantcd the ap ment of a seoratary to be the ¢ | vent action of the serato ir jolat convent This pr sl me the views of members pe y and the ainendment was so amended and poe The r ocommit the bill to the coram sds was then moved and carried, and when the committes rose the recommendation was made and adopted, HOUSE PROCEEDINGS, The comwittee on ,mrollment and engrossed bills reported back house iry of the board at a roll No. 10, engrossed, Committee on Desf and Damb and Tosano asylum reported back house roll No. 37, recommending its pasge, Committeo on agriculture reported back houee roll No. 14, recommending its passage, also No. 45, recommend- ing that it do not pass Oa motion the bill was recommitted; also No. 49, rccommending that it do not pass.

Kennard has with the state of Nebracka relative to tho c lection of certain money from the weneral government, for which service | Governor Farnas agreed to give the isaid Kennard fifty per cent of ail money collected, {I\vum Field ard Whedon defended the contract and N :ttlston and Howard of Clay, and Hall aod Wolgh of Cass and others, were opposed to the contract sud in favor of a law which should ropeal 1t. The bill was recommended for passage and placed ¢n general file, House roil No. 29 also came befors the committee of the whola and c-n- sumed considerabletime. Robberts and Jensen, of Butler county, opposed it on the ground that it would legalize hundreds of thoussnds of deliars o worthless bonds iasued by Batler ard other counties of the state. Mr Wolph, of Cass, also took a hand and declared that if this bill should become a law, hundreds of thousands of dollars of worthleas paper, which has been d:elered good for nothing by thec-urt years ago, would be resurreoted, and the children «f honest tax payers in many counties wounld have to go bare footed. Mz, Haven, of Bettilo, op posed the bill in nounmensured terms, He said his oounty had $30,000 in worthless bridge bonds hangii g over it, and he felt natisfied that tue bill wouald compel their payment, when they could be collected in no other 3, 40 and 44 correctly ay. Mr. Savage, cf Cuater, also opposed the biil, on the giound that one of the counties of his district (Sherman) had a large amount cf the same claea in the hands of sharks. Mr. Robberts moved that when the cominittee arise 1t report the bill back, recommending that the enacting clause be stricken out, This motion was agreed to, The following is tho section of the bill which created the trouble: Src. 4. All bouds beretofore voted and. issued by any precinct, township or town (‘ess than a city of the second clasr) to aid in the construction of any of the works of internal improvement enumerated in sec. tion 1 of this act, sre hereby declared to be legal and valid, and a lein upon all the taxable property in such precite', town- ship or town, notwithstanding any defect or irrezularity in the eubmission of the que:tion to a vote of the psople, or in tho aking of the vote, or,in ths execution of euch Londs, and notwithstanding the ssme may not have been voted upon, exeouted or issued in conformity to law, all such honds shell haye the sawe valldity and binding forca s if they had beon legally authorized, voted upon &nd executed.

Cricaco, Junuary 26 —A Washing- ton epecial says tho lmpression is go ing abroad that Claus Spreckels, the Sin Francigco sugar king, if ho can- nol prevent the abrogation of the Ha. walian troaty, intends to make the of- fort to huve the Hawalian islands an- nexed to the United States, In 1875, when tho Hawailan troaty was nego. tiated, this project was urged with a groat deal ot forco. Spreckels, if ob- Jections are urged on the part of Ha- waiians, has means in his power to re- movo the objections, He oould wiih advantage to his own interest, pausion the royal tamily, His resouroes are euch that he could readily aftord to pay the king far more than the reve- nues of the {slands yield him. Qaite a number f senators wore asked to- day what thelr individual views were with regard to the annexation scheme, and what kind of recoption such a scheme would meet ot the hands of the American people, Senator Ingalls said that ho was in favor of annexation, but not in that directlon, Hoe thought the United States ought to extend from the north pole to the point where the canal, which {s to unite the two oceans, is to be. He did not belleve, however, in reaching out after colonies in the At- lontic or Pacific ocean. In fact he did not waunt any colonies. Senhtor Kellegg did not balleve there was much in the clause of Sprockels’ talk about annexatiop. He did not think Hawaii would be any benefii to the United Statea in any way. Senator Jonns was opposed to an- nexation for tha reason that it would interfere with our sagarindustry in Louisiana The same argument, ho sald, was used to bring about the ab- rogation of the Louisiana treaty, that was annexation, Sonator Logan eald he did not favor it, and did not belteve the American would, Mr, Maxey baid that, independently ol commercial reasons, the Hawailan Islands would be a valuable acquisi- tlon from a political atandpoint. They are, ho mald, on the shortest route be- tween this country and China and Ja- pav, and on the shortes route by way of the Suez caual between Earcps and east and the Pacific coast. 1In case of war, the islands would bo invaluable a8 a naval etation, He sald, while he bate to b o'clock to-day, but accepted tho smendment of Mr, Randall ex- tending the time until to-morrow at b.

House then again went into commlttoe of the whole, The day was spent in general de- hate on the tariff bill. Me. Randolph Tucker, of the ways and means com- mitter, savagely attacked the bill and charged the committes with being in- adequate to the tesk of framing a proper bill, denounced the tariff com. mission, criticised the sugar schedule, sintiog the redaction of dnties on re- fining sugars was at least 40 por cent, bat the duty on all sugars that went ¢onuaplicn was positively pro- hibitory, He chorast d s:1ch legie- lation as viclous aud unjust, as it Iald the wholo agrien'tnre interests under contiibution to o fsw manufacturers, Mr. Kaeson dolivered a strong apecch in favor of & rpasdy passage of the present protceive bill, Mees-s. McLane, Kelly, Springer and Mills (Pexas) epoke ou the bill, Mcr. Miiis denied tho power of con- grens to levy tariff for rovenus, Mz Springer irquircd whether the committeo on ways and means had di- minished the rate of decrease as com- pared wich the present tariff and that proposed hy thi taviff comminsion. Mr. McKinley replied there had been a decreaso from the recommen dations of the commission, Mr. Morrison stated the decrenso amouated to romo 8,070 030 under sag-r and §4 000,000 andor tin plate. Me.
