PASSED BY A CLOSE VOTE. The Submissionists Scoro a Victory in the Senate. A LONG AND DESPERATE FIGHT nds in Their Measure Barely ry Major- i=Pool ‘Which Becuring the Nocess. ity— Keckley's Ar ing Bl Senate. L.ixcouy, Neb, Jan, 25.—[Special to The Bex.)--Several importaut bills went through on final passage this morning without de: bate Ths Keckley bill, a8 amended by Church Flowe, passed unanimously. It raises the limit of damages for a person kilied by the nogligence of an emploger from 5,000 to 5,000 There was no vote nst the N amendment bill, which provides that when a vote be taken on a proposition for a constitu tional convention it be at @ special clection fu August, Senator Norval has introduced another bill for an amendment, the purpose of which is that the vote on all amendments to the constitution be taken at special elec tions in August. The object of these meas ures is to take constitutional measures outof the complicated issues of general clections, and submit them at & time when they will stand alone and recelve more careful con- eration, wond delayed the fate of his bill for an elective railroad commission by having it sent back to the engrossing clerk to have al- leged errors corrected, The Cornell bill, which proposes an amend- ment to permit the investment of the state permanent school fund in registered school district bonds, was passed. After going to #0 the house it was recallod on motiou of Bonator Nesbitt, who thinks he has discov- ered & dofect in it. Tae senate went into committee of tho waole and spent the restof the morning on the {cokley anti-pooling bill. The —contest izam over o committee amendment offered by Chuirman Nesbitt. The first scction mukes it unlawful for any person, firm, asso ciation or corporation dealing i a natural product to cowbine or pool to raise the prico of such product. The amendwent was framed to include any person ‘engaged in any kind of laber, profession or occupation,” Senator Conner made the specch of the morning, 1t was short but comprehensive and weighted with judicial directness of statement. *Labor is seldom pooled,” he b gan. *“The pooling of 1ubor is never gene or univer “The pools formed by capi are general and universal. This measure may not accomplish much, but it is the asser- tion of a correct principle. Nebraska should also be in harmony with the other states and with the nationat government, which are as- merting the right to correct the abuses of capital. Nothing serious and widespread is to be apprehiended from pooled lubor. But there is dunger from pooled capital. Capital is tho net carnings from lavor. It does not need to be fed, or clothed, or warmed, or houscd. It is powerful and able to take care of itself. It is no argument to say that men have pooled thicir labor against railroads, In the strike of lust year, for example, it was only against ono roud and lasted for'a com- paratively short time. BBut we know that capital i not casily overthrown. We know theve is no danger of lawyers pooling in soli Jeague against their clients. We know that capital does do it_and is seizing upon every industry. Probably the cattle industry of te west is paralyzed because organ fzed capital is trying . to control ft. 1 admit that® “the strike on the B. & M. was pooled labor. What effect did it havel It involved only the one railroad, and’did notcause any general or lasting ivjury. 1take it that labor nover can combine and bo generally effective throughout the country, because it must be fed and_clothed and housed. Strikes ure Jocal, and they must inevitably come to an end, because laboring men and their familie: must live. The tendency of pooled capital is to swrengthen and augment itself uuless con- trolled by law. It will never starve out or freeze out.” Nesbitt, in support of the amendment, said ho feared the words “‘dealing in any natural product’’ might include farmers, and if the ill covers them, he believed it only fair to dnclude laboring men too. Keekloy aceused Nesbitt of pettifogging. Pope called attention to the fact that the furmer was a producer, and could hardly be clussed us o dealer. Beardsley said he had yet too learn of a pool amony farmers, They have to worlk too Jidustriously for a liviag to have Umo to get up pools. The farmer sells on the market as de finds it. He cannot control it, and he nover tries to. Norval expressed the opinion that the law against rmilroad pooling had been beneficial, and he wanted it extended to other corpora tions. Lindsay objected to the bill because it might reach the farmersof his scction who wre forming associations to build grain ele- vators. Ransom thought that if farmers engaged in the elevator business they should be treated as elevator men. He belioved loboring men should have the right to withhold their sor- vices if they caunot get what they think their services are worth. This bill is in- tended to reach the combinations of rich en to raise the pricc of the necessities of ife. The lawyers douw't need regulation. Their poverty regulates them., |(Laughter.] Howe said iie liked the bill. ‘It is a step in the right direction. If anything it doesn't go far enough. 1t ought to take in the banks, 1 want to ston pooling by law,” he said. 1 want to see competition.” I believe that u man who has no capital but his labor should have the right to give or withhold it. If while engaged in strikes he destroys prop- erty thero will be laws to reach such cascs, Capital will protect itself. Labor should hiave the right to protect itself, Noon had arrived and the senate adjourned without taking a vote. It is evident from the debate that the ameudment will be de eated, AFTERNOOX SESSION. Spectators began gathering in the senate chamber at 1 o'clock in anticipation of the debate on submission. At the hour of con- vening the gallery and lobbies were over- flowing, and fully a third of the onlookers ‘were ladies. Wolbach opened the ball by a motion to sdjourn, but it was not promptly sceonded, sud tho chair recognized Lindsay, who auoved that the senate go into a committee of tho whole. Carricd, Senutor Taggurl was called to the chair. Paulsen offered the following as an amend- ment to follow section 1: “‘Provided, however, that for taking, dam- nging, destroying or rendering worth lews, any real or personul property situated within this state by or through the operation or euforcemeat of the foregoing provision, the state of Nebraska shall make ensation to the owner or owners of roperty, and such compensation may be recovered by such owner or ownors against the state of Nebraska in any court of competent jurisdiction.” ‘The amendment was not debated and was defeated by a standing vote of 11 to 10, Lindsay moved that the comuittee report the bill to the senate with a recommendation for passage, Senator Nesbitt was the first speaker to atlack the problem. He spoke of the ad- wvance of order and sobrioty under the Slo- cumb law, and admitted "that the leading pavers of the state were all agaiust submis sion, but he said bis district asked for the wcasure and he folv bound to vote for it, 1A )plllllv.lj’ mator Paulsen road a speech in opposi tion, His argument was that the measure ‘was unjust because it will deprive the people personal rights and destroy n large snount of property; that it will destroy u home market for a large amount of grain; that it will rob Omaha of an i ncome of §250,- 000 & year; that it will depress the value of property; that it will deprive thousands of the means of a livelihood, He conciuded With a review of the situation in lowa to -h’}w that prohibition is a failure. ‘here were calls of ‘question,” and with- out further debate Lindsay's motion to rec ommend the bill's passage was adopted by a standing vote of 21 to 10, The avvouace- aent was Yoem Wwith applause. ‘When the lieutenant governor had re- Bumcd his seat and the report of the coiunit- el - tee of the whole had been read, Lindsay move its adoption Ransom moved to indefinitely postpone, but was defaated by the following vote: Ayes—Dern, Tjains, Maher, Paulsen, | ton, Polk, Pope, Hansom, Raymond, Wol bach—10, Nays ~All other senat 23, Lindsay’s motion to adopt the report was arried by a viva voce vote. The te then took a five minute recess aud the crowd immediately gathered in groups to “talk it over. When the senate reconvened the spectators began leaving and the solons settled down to the regular routine, The committes on engrossed bills immedi ately returned the Lindsay submission bill approved as “0, K." Out of pique for o similar action on his elective railroad commission Measure, prob. bly, Raymond moved to have the bill sent back to the committae of the whole.

Ho Lixcors, Nob,, Jan, 23.—[Special to Tis Ber.|—Hall presented a_potition from the citizons of Lancaster m favor of the submis- sion of a prohibitory amendment. A large number of bills were reported back by the standing committees. The following were recommended for passage: House roll 2), Corvin's bill to increase the pay of jurors from £2 to & por day. House roll 16, Hungate's bill for the pro- toction of stable keepers, House roll 184, o bill to adjust division fonces, House roll 134, Dompster's bill making owners of dogs lidble for thewr aepredations stock.

House roll 200, Weber's bill to compel railroads to list their property for taxation, House roll 66, a bill allowing the defendant to keep possession of the property in dispute in roplevin suits by giving bonds. Among the few bills introduced to-day was onc by McBride, which provides that foreign insurance companies shall ‘pay a special tax for tho support of the fire ucpartment in towns and cities, The house spent & large part of the morn- ing session in committee of the whole consid- ering house roll 95, a bill repealing tho sce- tions of the statute providing for the suspen- sion of the herd law. The discussion de- veloped a wide diversity of opinion. silchrist, in expiaining the bill, said that if A law it would be impossible to one to fonce their lauds as @ pro- tection against stock, Keiper vigorously opposed the measure, and favored the law just as it is, allowing cach county to settle the question’ for itself. “The committee arcse while the question as pending, and adjourned until 2 p. m. AFTERNOUN SESSION. Bills were introduced as follows: By Dempster—To authorize the governor to apnoint a state geologist. 1y Robb —To authorize colleges to appoint asuitable person to collect specimens of birds for the use of the same. The house went into committee of the yholo and tooks up bils on the gencral calon- ar, “The bill to repeal tho sections of the . stat- ute authorizing the suspension of the herd luw was passed over. The bill making the county surveyor cus- todian of the field plats and inaps of originat surveys was killed by striking out the enact- ing clause. House roll 42, the mechanics lien law, was recommended for passage. e a3 The House Radicals. LixcoL, Neb.. Jan. 25.—[Special to Tar 'he radical submissionists in the house have decided to adopt a rule or policy in order to force the amendment through the house. A secret caucus was held last even- ing in which they endeavored to get a major- ity to agree to “tie up” all_legislation until prohibition is submtted, The appropriation bills especially are to be “pigeon-holed,” and all special bilis in_ which doubtful members are interested will be held back until thoy vote for submission. Can this policy be carried out? is the query every one asks, . From forty-five to forty- seven votes may be safely counted to sustain this policy. The other side is also combining, and with the aid of Speaker Watson they arc quite likely to succeed. The radical course of the more extreme submissionists is being condemned on every hand. It is quite prob- able that the doubtful members will stand on their manhood and_refuse to be bulldozed intogyoting against the wishes of their con- stituents. House Roll 246, LixcoLy, Neb., Jan. 25.—[Special to Tia Ber,|—This is one of the most important bills before the legislature. It is the Major's bill, repealing the law passed at the last ses- sion, extending the state prison contract to Stout and Mosher for ten years from October next. The following is the substunce of the law which the bill repeals ; Chapter 86, Sec. 1, That the contract; leas- ing to W. H, B. Stout, the penitentiary, grounds and convict labor of the state, exe: cuted on the 224 day of September, 1377, and which has been by said Stout assigned and transferred to C.'W. Mosher, bo and_tho same is hereby granted for the period of ten years, from the 1st day of October, 1889, to said C. W. Mosher, subject to all the condi- tions and provisions contained in said origi- al_contruct, Provided, That said Mosher shail receive 40 cents per day in cash for cach convict in fuil for his compensation under said contract. Provided, further, That upon the taking effect of this act the said Mosher shall enter into a bond with the state of Nebraska in the penal sum of §100,000, with good and suf- sient sureties, conditioned upon the faithful performance of his contract, and the com- missioner of public lands and buildings shall enter u statement on said. Provided, further, That under this exten- sion the convicts shall not be employed in the manufacture of cigars, brick, the cutting of stone, except such as may ho' required in improvements and repairs at the penitentiary and the erection of buildings and walls for the guards, and offices, nor shall any conyiet bo omployed upon any other public building. The provisions of the act shall in no wise impair or invalidate any contract now ex- isting. A lively time may be expected when this Dill comes up in” committee of the whole. One thing at least is sure: The penitentiary contract us curried ou in this state will get thorough airing, The School Fund Men Lixcorx, Neb, Jan. 25.-—[Special to Tur Ber, |—Senator Corvell's bill for the sub- mission of an amendment to section 9, articlo 8, of the constitution, was vigorously opposed yosterday by Ransom, Norval and others, but it passed the seuate this morning with- out debate by a vote of 24 to 6. Following 18 the text of the amendmen t: “All funds belonging to the state for edu- cationul purposes, the " intercst und 1ncome whorcof only are'to be used, shal be deemed trust funds beld by the state, and the state shall supply all losses thereof that may in any mavner acerue, 8o ¢ tho same shall remain forever inviolato and undiminished ; and shall not be invested or loaned except on United States or state securities, or regis- tered connty bouds of this state, or registered hool district bonds of this state.

TLaxcorN, Neb, Jan. 25.—|Special to Tur Ber. | —“What is the situation of the Omaha election contest!” was asked a member of the house committee which is investigating the matter. Helis a man of avility and poi; and gave a calm, comprehensive view of the situation. “We have gonc over the Omaha deposi- tions and opened two of the ballot boxes, with results already noticed in Tue Ber. We offered to hear further oral testimony, but neither side had anything new to present, and we have closed the door. The testimony of some grand jurars was offered, but it was barred as secondary and second-hand. We have notified both sitting and contesting members that we will listen to arguments pro and con at a meeting to be held after the house session this afternoon. If we have time we will open the ballot boxes and exam- ine their contents. We had hoped to be able to roport Saturday, but may not until Mon- day or Tues ““1t has been the policy of the democrats to delay our work as much as possible. In the first place, County Clerk Roche sent the boxes without koys. He 1s a man of enough intelligence to know we necded keys, and his neglect must have been intentional. IFurthermore, Chairman Cady wrote him for the keys, but he has paid no attention to that letter. Tho spealker, by direction of the house this morning, ordered Mr. Roche to forward the keys and a copy of the official canvass, If he refuses to heed that com mand, our only recourse is a mandamu: ‘The democratic members of the committee have sought delay by insisting on a re- canvass of tho whole of Douglas county. They offer no reason except thut they ‘would like to know.’ *As to final action all 18 uncertainty, I have heard it said that if the votes of the two precincts we have canvassed be thrown out it will unseat three members, but we have no official canvass and can make no computation. The irregularities of the elec- tion were flagrant, and under the law and the precedents the ballots should not be counted. As a member of the committee I have no idea of its final action, oune _way or tho other, and I regard it as avout a8 inscrutable as the unreported verdict of apetitjury. To a lawyer, orone who has come much in con- tact with the law, smull irregularities are a gross, fatal defect. The courts would so hold in this case, butour committee will probably be subjected to the arguments of shrewd, plausible attorneys. Some of our members ave farmers, who may regard tho forms of an election as technicalitics U ought not to be hlll(]lnq if violated through ignorance or mistake. That will probably be the line of argument on one side. I would not venture an opinion on the result.” To Amend the Constitution.

The specches began with Lord Mayor Whitehead proposing the usual toasts for the royal family. After the toasts were drunk he spoke a few zood words for the house of lords and_commons, but_carefully avoide political allusious. Ion. Leonard Cour responded for the commons and_Lord Hazel bury responded for the lords. Then came a song by the quartette. Whitehead proposed the health of Phelps amid loud and prolongedcheers. Whitehead said tho high esteem in which Phelps was held by the British nation was most sutisfac tory and certainly helped Ameriea to clo: friendship with England. There have been misunderstandings, but the hearts of both nations still beat true. England will do he best to maintam fricndly relations. In caso of future trouble they will appeal to the sense of right in a christian-like spirit af brothers. Phelps’ conduct in ofticial and pri- vate life had won many friends i England. When Phelps arose to reply the cheers con- tinued several minutes and were a prolonged ovation. He briefly sketched his experience in England and dwelt on the evidonc of friendly relations between the United ates and Great Britain, and said that with England’s greatness upparent on every side, he felt flattered at the array of shining lights in government, nce, art, religion and literature around him. He would be a poor American who did not say that America owed its greatest debt to England for htera- ture, art and science. Tremendous appiause and cheers followed, and again cheers re-cchoed when he said: “A man who makes no mistakes makes nothing.” He did not know who would bo his successor. He was not in a position to state, but was cortain that he would bo an American gentleman. [More cheers.] There were many ways of saying good by and farewell, but it was hard to part from so many fricnds. He was sorry to say good by, yet glad to take home to America so many kind remembrances, Speeches followed from Lord Roseberr Chief Justice Coleridge, tho lord bigh chan- cellor, and Sir Charles ‘Tupper of Canada. All were complimentary and kindly. All the morning papers devote long editori- als to Phelps. The Standard, in concluding u long, hostile leader, says: “We have nothing to say that can be dis- agreeable to Mr. Phelps personaliy, but the recent action of the United States govern ment does seem to us to render the eoter- taimment of last evening to the United \tes minister inopportune, if not in- decorous.” The Times says “The God speed that we deserve to give Mr.and Mrs, Phelps on their departure from this country is not a piece of formal diplomatie courtesy, but inter- change of familiar kindness among kinsmen of which no one else can be reasonably jeal- ous. If he carries away with him a goodly company of happy menories, he leaves s many behind him with all those who have known him here, and we are prepared to welcome his successor as he was weleomed himself before he v known to us other- wise than as the representative of the United tates.” The queen has invited Mr. and Mrs. Phelps to dine with her on Monday and » in at the palace over night. Mrs. Phelps gave her last reception here yesterday. i ik 1Y The Samoan Muddle, Beiiy, Jan. 25.—Tho National Zeitung, referring to the action of the senatorial com- mittee at Washington on the Samoan affair, says that measures for the protection of the autonomy of the Samoan islands are super fluous because 1t is not threatened by any one, The sole intere rica consists in not allowing the good relations with Ger. many to be jeopardized by a few intriguing adventurers, The Vossische Zeitung, criticizing the ar- gument in the Cologne Cazette of yoesterday, held that it wonid be a mistake to attach no importance to the measures taken by President Cleveland merely because he is to be shortly succeeded by Haurrison. It points out that the authority for dealing with foreign affairs rests with the committee of the senate, and warns the semi-ofticial press that it would be unwise to try to appease the German public ith fullacious ilinsions.
