THE INSANE ASYLUM LiNcorw, January 29.— One of the things that is among the possibilities at the capical is a thorcugh investiga- tlon {nto the manner of conducting the state ssylum for the insane., I:is un, derstood that a resolution will be in- troduced into the senate at an early day looking toward this end. Some of the members of the house are also disposed to find fault with Speaker Humphrey for appoinung so many persons to draw pay, who have virtu. ally no labor to perform outside of signing the pay roll. TOWNS AT RAILROAD CROSSINGS, A large number of Nemaha county citizens are here watching the progress of asenate bill which provides that when railroads (oross each other a de- pot shall be maintained. This bill tioularly interests the citizens of emaha for the reason that in that county they have a crossing of this kind where no depot is kept up, and Church Howe's town, which is located some two or three miles from that point, would suffer if the people were accommodated to that extent. The bill is now before the senate judiclary committee and whether it is reported favorably or not the Indications are that 1t will pass. Senator Fisher from Nemaha is strongly in favor of the bill, Lot 8o much on account of ite local significance as because of its general utility, and there are very few men in the state who will disagree with him on this point. PROGRESS OF LFGISLATION. Those who pretend to know tell us that notwithstanding the senatorial conteat this Jegislature is making rapid progress, The commitiees are all at work and the prospect is that they will pass laws enough even if they are not all of the right kind. Railroad legislation is the only class that is slow in coming to the front, but this s ex- plained because of the change of front necessitated by tho opinion of the su- preme court on the railroad commis- slon question. BABBATH QUIET. Yesterday Lincoln hotels reminded _one of a summer resort in. winter time. Everybody, members, lobbyists and all went home or to Omaha and the senatorial buzzing and scheming was entirely suspended. Of the very few who remained many of them weat to church, just to eee how it would sound to hear somethi: g besides the plannlog aud figuring that goes to make a United States senator. There is a varlety of oplnion among even republicans over the re- sult of the republican caucus. Some seem to think that a nomination will be made during the next twenty-four hours and some are of the opinion that they will be found balloting a week hence, while still another class think it not at all improbable that they will break up in a row. The Millard men are confident of success. They claim to have a aum- ber of votes placed around on different candidates who will take advantsge of the secret ballot and come to him when their votes will nominate. On the other hand, the anti-Millard folks expect to forma ring inside of a ring and unite upon one of the other can- didates as a last resort. If anyone is nominated to-night, which is not at all probable, it will be Millard. THE NEW REGENT, Governor Dawes has at last found a man to take the piace made vacant by Mr. Powers in the board of regents, The person selected Is Mr. Julius F, Merritt, of Antelope county, a farmer of good ability aud highly respected where he is known. He is 53 years old and kas beon a resident of the state for over twenty years, Is a graduate of the New York normal school at Albany, and has been a practical teacher for twenty five years, He Is a brother of Gon, E A Merritt, late collector of the port ¢f New York Oity, the man who took the place made vacant when Chester A, Arthur was forced to stand aside. The ap- pointment of Mr. Merrltt is looked upon as a good one by the sensible people of the state and friends of the university, not on account of his personal beauty, but for his good sense and practical ldeas. His com- mission was made ount and presented to him to.day. ————t—— Judgment Net Aside, Special Dispatch to Tux Bue, WasHINGTON, January 20,—The supreme court, on motlon of the Un fon Pacific rallway company, set aside the judgment entered by defanlt In favor of the Credit Motilier of Amer. iea in October last, 3 e Destructive Storm in Denver.

The senate appropriations commit- tee complotod the army bill to-day, adding $800,000 to tho amount ap propriated by the housn bill, The doors opened shortly after 12 when consideration of the tariff bill was resumed, On motlon of Senator Allisen the rate on stecl not specially enumerated was changed from three cents per ound to thirty per cent. advalorem, he daty on nickel ore In any form was reduced from twenty cents per pound to fifteen, The plrngn h embracing zine be- ing reached, Benator Vest declared that while he belleved in tarlff for rey- enue, he also belleved that Inside the limits of the tariff for revenue protec. tion Iucldental to every tarlff should be given Infant Industries. This he regarded as democratic dootrine. The zine production was an infant in- dustry, ia which the people of his state were largel in- terestod He would therefore doall in his power to secure for it such protection within the limits indi- oated. He would not blame any other senator for dolng likewlse for the industrios of his a‘ate. Senator Conger welcomed Nenator Vest to the ranks of those who fay- ored protection of Amerioan industry.

Among the ter was onoe by Belmont (N. Y.) from the forelgn atfairs, belng his own minority opinion regarding the joint resolution rocently reported to the by the committee, providing, oonditionally, for the termination ot the treaty between the United States the Hawaiian government. Belmont takes the ground that there are grave objections to the Interfer- enoe of congress with the treaty mak- ing power, He reviews the prooceed- ings b fore the house committee, show- ing the evils complained of in conneo- tlon with the treaty are not due to its defect but to the fact that consular and customs officers administering law have been incumpetent to corrupt. He says the evidence goes to show that under this treaty there has been per- petrated one of the most colossal frauds t the revenue of the United tates government, In conclusion Belmont submitted a resolution authorizing the president to Institute an immediate inquiry re- coting the alleged frauds and report the result to cougress, He suggests that a notice to King Hawailanist re- speoting the wish of the United States to terminate the treaty be withheld till the president responds to the reso- lution of inquirys, 1At 12:10 the house, in committee of ‘whole, resumed consideration of the tariff bill. The section giving the t power to declare inoperative section prohibiting the importa- of neat cattle was amended to that the president may declare prohibition provisions inoperative during his u[:,l-unn. The section which provides that nc vatehes or of watoh movements which simul the name or trade mark of any domestlo manufactory, shall be admitted to entry unless the domestic manufacturer is an importer, was extended to all other articles. Mr. White, (Ky. ), offered an amend- ment providing that upon re-mporta- tlon of articles once the growth, prod- act or manufacture of the United States upon which no internal tax has been assessed or pald, there shall be lovied, collected and paid a duaty double (instead of equal as provided by the bili) to the tax imposed by the internal revenue laws upon such arti- cles, He sald the provision of the bill was an attempt which went far to convince him that there seemed to be some sort of understanding between some speclal tariff men and some special whisky men, which was doing no benefit to this country and a good deal less to the republican party. The bonded extension bill has been slip- ped through the house in a method which was {ufamous, Mr. Butterworth sald he represent- ed In part with other gentlemen the interest which pald into the treasury one hundred million dollars, which was now absolutely prostrated. []Savaul Republicans: “‘Good, good,”] You did not say ‘‘good, ’ retorted Mr. But- terworth, when It pald your soldiers while they fought your battles. You did not say ‘‘good” when it put the bandages around your wounded sold- fers. Youdid not say ‘‘good” when it paid the pensions of widows and or- phans, I have boea earnest in help- ing the industries of New Ealand and Peansylvania, but our bankers, our boaras of trade, our chambers of com- merce, our merchants, our groocers have asked this house for three hours’ oconsideration ¢f a bill for the relief of the distilling industry. We cannot have one hour Mr, White—When did they ask for three hoursi They slipped the bill through under suspension of the rules, without debate, and without my being ablé to get the yeas and nays. The Ohalr—The gentleman s not in order, Butterworth—He hardly ever is. 1 want the house at a very early day to consider the claima of a great industry, which is now prostrated and which, if relief is not granted, will probably In its own destruction drag down many protected industries. Mr, Roed (Me,) said he had heard three times before precisely this dis- course about the danger which was to come from refusing distilleys’ demands. If they were successful this time he would expeol to hear it just once more; chat was on a demand to repeal the whisky tax, [Applause on tho re- publican side. | Mr. Jackson submitted that as long as the house recognized whisky as roperty burdened with tax three Eundmd per cent, of its actual valuo, it was not only fair but wise to treat whinky interest with common decency, He was opposed to abollshing the tax on whisky and tobacco, but he would have congress deal falrly by them to enable them to pay the tax. He pra— QA ) 190 would have free salt, free sugar, free toa, and free coffee, Instead of free coffee only. (Applause on the demo- oratio slde).
