LaNncowy, February 19.--The logis- lature is completely demoralized. The soenes enacted i the capitol to-night are simply indescribable, The disor- der in the house during the night sos- sion would disgrace the lowest dive in Omaha, Kor ¢wo long hours a perfect Babel roigned. Members and lobby- ista were pelting each othvr with paper wada, hurling all sorta of miasiles through tho house, while bills were being read and voted on, and the cli- max wak capped about 11 p. m., when Mr, Hcward, of Clay, moved an ad- journment, and a perfect rhower of paper wads and booka was hurled at him, andfinally some hoodlum clapped a paper backot over Howard's heed and SMOTHERED HIS VOICE. Such sn exhibition of indece: Nebreaka legielature, It is a buring disgraco tiat veflec's, to use a mild phrase, the utmost disoredit on Speaker Hamphrey, who is in bonor | and daty bouud to msintain order and enforce decornm while the house is in session, This oconduct was just what might be expected from & body that has given over to jobbery and reckless raids on the state treasury, ‘The questionable mesus by which the capitol bill was to be lobbied throngh the house bears its Bodom apple frait 10 a long list of bogus olaime and ex- travegant« appropriations, . Every “scheme for plunder and every extrav- agant appropriation has been TIED UP THE CAPITOL BILL becomes part of the general grab Pearman’s bogus §3,000 claim for pro- tended services rendered in defending the territory against Indien ‘raids twenty years sgo, passed the houee this afternoon. That was followed by the passige of a bill sppropriating $76,000 for the new building and fic- tures at the Kearney reform ashool. It is currently given out that this se cures Senator Conuor's vote for the capitol bill. It is incredible that Gan Conuor could compromise himself by such a trade. The senate gellerios were densoly crowded with spectators and the senato floor PACKED WITH LOBBYISTS . to-pighs during the debate on the cap- {tal sppropriation bill. The msjority report, signed by Senator Howell, of York, recommended the bill with smendments that reduced the special levy from one mill to thres.quarters of onemill. Senator Reynolds presented a minority répflrt, giving reasons why the bill should not pass. He cited the fact that the state ia overburdened with tax; that the constitutioual limir of debt ie already overreached by more ‘than $260,000; that e state stil owes $30,000 for the wilogs to the capital on which it peys interest and lastly he protestod agaicst the bill on the ground of the borgaine that had becn made in re ceiving its passage in the houso and that at least one merbar is believed to have been bribed. A YERY ANGRY DISOUSSION arose over these reports, Reynolds at one time charged that an attempt to intimidate a member of the senate by threats was made by a prominent Lin- coln merchont. Brown, of Lancaster, demanded the name of the senator and the language of the merchaut. Rey- nolds said, ‘‘A leadivg merchant of your city, whose name I can give at any time, threatened that I should be defeated for reelection 1f 1 dared to vote for this appropriation.” Mr, Oanfield Interposed and said: *‘I have been notified I NEYER SHOULD BE REELECTED if I dared to vote against it, but I am bound to come back, all the same, The debate continned mors than an hour. Messrs. Dach, Brown, of Dongles, McShane and’ Reynold op- posing while Brown, of Lanocaster chiet spokesman waa secouded by Butler and Brown, of Clay. Half 8 dozen votes were taken on the motlon to indefinitely postpone, tc lgont the minc rity report and adjourn. Finally Howell's majority report with amendments was adopted and the bill referred to the general file, where it will come up sgein for debate to-mor- row, THE MOST EXCITING SCENE took place on the final pasesge of the y was | ) was uover before perpstrated in any | J rallrond bill “ecommended by the house commi'fee.
