Most of n was consnmed in committee of ole, discussing Cornell’s bill for acon stitutional amendment authorizing the in vestuient of the state's pormanent school fund in district school bonds “This bill had been passed once and was re- eailed from the house on the statement of Benator Nesvitt that it contained a clause in conflict with the constitution, The clause in question isu proviso that tho per capita tax be pledged for the seourity of the district bonds. In other words, if & school district fail to pay the intorest or principal of uay o f its bouds which the state may buy, the state may reimburse itself from the per capita fund due the district, Senator Nosbitt held that the per capita S-m.m not be diverted in that way, b 50 the constitution had set it aside for the gupport of the schools. He argued that it should go to the maintenance of wachers and other running expenscs. Scnator Lindsay held that buildings were neces to the conduct and support of Behools, but the proviso was stricken ont. Senator Nesbitt opposed to the vill in its amended form on the ground that school dis- trict bonds were a arag on the market and unsafe us an investment. They will not be taken by private speculators except at a dis- count, le said, and this bill is an attompt 1o unload them upon the stute aud cast the mouey in the permanent school fund to the four winds. Senator Cornell spoke at length in defense of his measure. He quotod from a Kansas document w drove that a similar system in that state Lad been eminently satisfactory He quoted from a Nebraska report to sho that for a long period last vear there had been nearly $500,000 of the permanent school - fund in the Lands of the state teasurer. The state reaped no benefit from it, but the trea: urer probably received a bonus from the banks that had his deposits. There are $3,000,000 worth of school lands unde= con- tract of sale, he said, and that money will soon bo coming into’ the permanent fand. “This bill is intended to open an avenue of in- stead of letting big sums lie in the banks ithout producing anything for the state. The commitice recommended the bill for assage. Also a bill by Senator Pope, mak- ng it possible for an individual to recove lamages from a county if he suffer injuries reunson of a highway or a bridge being out of repair. Senator Conner this morning introduced Pill under the provisions of which the proper state ofticers must make special efforts to keep the permanent school funds invested by advertising for bonds, etc. Sonator Jewett introduced a bill to pro- hibit aliens from owning or acquiring laud 1 Nebraska. It is more liberal than the Jaw now in the books, and the senator may offer an amendment allowing alien capital- ists to lvest iu city property. APTERNOON SESSION. The senate immediately weut into comnmit- too of the whole and took up Sutherlund’s bill granting woman suffrage in municipal eloctions. Scnator Paulsen said lie thought women had better attend to their household duties and let politics alone; it was bad cnough for men to mix in the mess. He moved to post- , pone tho bill indefinitely, which was done athout further ado by a vote of 16 to 12, ‘The next measure taken up was KRobin- son’s bill for the samo purpose excent that it pplied only to sccond ciass cities and illages, Senator Howe moved an amendment to olude metropolitan and first class cits Senator Hansom objected that the Omaba harter could not be amended by a general w of this kind. . ‘The amendment, was lost and the bill was Indefinitoly postponed.

The passaze of this bill would expressly repeal of the power delegated to the railroad commission, and do the people of Nebraska want to do this! For one, he was opposed to any such scheme, Hall defended the bill at lenth, and cited fucts and figures to sustain his position.

'he bill applies only to Om izes the police comunissione cent from the pay of each mem- ber of the police force, such de- ductions to go into a fund to be “‘used ex- clusively to relieve mwembers of tho force when sici or aisabled from the performance of duty, for funeral expenses, relief of their familics in case of death, or for pensions when honorably retired.” The following moneys ulso go into the fund: All fines im- posed on members of the force for violating the rules of the depurtment, one-fourth of all rewards paid to wmembers 'of the force unless exempl by the board, and all mou- cys from the sule of unclaimed’ property the hands of the chief of police or the police judge. The city treasurer is to keop the fund subject to the commissioners, who uct as trustees. The police force will make rules and rogulations for tho disbursement of the fund, subject to the approval of tho commissioners, Thoy will also elect a board of soven directors in April of cach year, who must issue orders on the fund.

LixcoLy, Nob,, Feb. 12.—(Special to Tas Ber. | —Representative Dunn, of Saline, has introduced a bill authorizing the governor to grant an honorable discharge to Company C of the First rogiment of the cavalry militia. This regiment was organized in September, 1504, shortly after the Indian outbreak. The rogiment first marched to Fort Kearney, and then returncd to Little Blue station, about seventy-five miles oast of Kearney, whero they acted as scouts and guards for the over. land travel. On January 9, hearing that about three thousand Indians were encamped on the headwaters of the Republicans, they broke cawp and marched up_the Platto past Fort Kearney to Cottonwood Springs, now Fort McPherson. From this point they crossed over onto the Republican and fol- Jowed that stream almost up to the Colorado line, The Indians hurriedly broke camp and hastenod away. and the army of 1,000 men had nothing to do but to march back again. This they proceeded to do, but the weather was v cold, and as they did not havo single tent in the party their sufferings were fearsul, At length they r ed home and were disbanded, but never formally dis chargod from the sofvice of the state.” Mr, Dunin_ was a member of Company C, and now, being in @ position to do 8o, “makes a motion’” for his own discharge from the service of the state.

A girl who trans- ferred her affections from her fiance to the wctor at a performance of *Antony and Cleopatra™ asserted that Bellew was not married and never had been. The young muu was not very well in- formed concerning the history of this particular Antony, but his jealousy made him assert that he w a thor oughly wedded mau.

SOME INTERESTING DOCUMENTS Alleged to Have Been Recelved—The Witness From Amorioa Admit- ted as Evidence by the Court. Le Caron's Testimony Ended. Loxvoy, Feb, 12 —The cross examination of Le Caron, tho witness for the Times, was concluded on the resumption of the sitting of the Parnell commission to-day. He said he had visited Kurope five times since 1861, somo times in a professional capacity and some times unprofessionally, Witness said be delivered sealed packagos from Devoy and O'Leary to Egan in Paris in 1881 and acknowledged that the security of the seals alone provented him from open- g the packages, He again saw Bgan in America in 1858, Later Kgan introduced him to Parnell in the lobby of the house of com mons, He conversed with Parnell. The most important part of Parnell's conversa- tion concerned his views ns & revolutionist, He declared that he did not see why an_in- surrection should not bo successful. Wit- ness had heard this before from Egan, but coming from Parnell it startled him, Le Caron told of receiving two photo- eraphs from Parnell at different times, both signed in person by the great leader. 'Egan gave him his photograph, which was signed ‘‘Best regards,” in Paris in 1871, Egan also eave him the photograph of a leading mem- ber of the league, which was similarly signed. Le Caron said that the convention unanimously agreed to carry on the war- fare. The “V. C."” comprised the dynamite party, apart from the O’Donovan Rossa party. A secret orgunization was first con- od in 1869, The “V. C.” dated from 1872, tossa was expelled from the organization for insubordination. The connection be- tween the supreme council and the “V. C. was raptured at the Boston convention in 1884, each organization claiming the legitimate body. arnell requested the witness to write to Devoy, Sul- livan, Hines and Carroll Since his examination the witness has received from America one of Devoy's original letters, It was dated “Office of James Reynolds, 41 Orange street, New Haven, J ane 24, 1881, The letter was admitted as evidence, Tt vend in part: I received yesterday a short note from K. (meaning Egan), strongly urg- ing me to come over, but cannot uaderstand why until I get your explanation. I should like to come if I could spare the time, and if iy visit would produce the effect anticipated, But I fear it uld not. I could not speak for anybody. None of us can guarantee anything for those who are on the otherside who are hostile, but who, I feel certain, do not represent the opinion of the home organization. There can be no chance thero until there is a change of persons, which is sure to come in time. All I could do would be to tell E. and P, (meaning Parnell) on my own re, spousiblity what will satisfy our friends and make proposals. Parnell and his friends seem to understand the dissatisfaction here. It 1s caused not vy their action in Ireland, but by the action theyallow their friends to take here in their-name. Options differ little on essential poiuts, but we cannot tolerate the kind of thing begun in Buffalo.” La Caron said that, “‘that kind of thing begun in Buffalo,!’ related to the action of Parnell’s friends in altempting at an open convention to depose, disorganize and dis- cupt the revolutionay organization. Wit- ness identified an alleged speech by Parnell referring to the latter's determination to “sever the lastlink binding Ireland and England.” This ended the examination of the witness and the court adjourned ;e COUNCIL BLUFFS WINS.

Miss Isavella Anderson and those who as- sisted her in the entertainment given before the Young Men’s Christian association and their frionds last night must have felt flat- tered by the large audience thut grectod them. kvery one of the five hundred scats was filled and all the standing room availa- ble was occupied. The entertainment given last evening was the inaugural of & series of lectures, reading and concerts contemplated by the association, and if those that follow prove as intoresting us the one last night, they will be a sourco oy much pleasure to the members of the assoct ation and thewr friends. Miss Anderson came from Detroit, Mich., two months ago to take charge of the asso. ciation’s department of elocution and the la- dies' class in gymuastics, As an clocutionist she comoines the ability to correctly inter- pret the characters she essays to represent, with a well modulated voice and a pleasing appearance. Last night she completely charmed her audicnce, rendering patheti, humorous and tragic selections with equal perfection.

Woman Goes Out Fora me and Gets It Yesterday a young woman who clerks in this city went across the river with two Council Bluffs gamblers. Perhaps she did not know the sort of company she was keep- ing, and she receives the benefit of the doubt by having her name suppressed. The gamblers induced hexr to drink some- thing. It may have been wine or it may have been beer, but at any rate she became decidedly muddled. Having produced this condition, the designing gamblers triea to persuade their foolish victim to enter a dis- reputable house with them. Hut sho had some sense left. Her befuddled intellect taught her to _draw the line right at this point. She made an outcry and the rascals fled. The police appeared upon the scene, and finding nothing buv an intoxicated female, took her to the station. She was delayod here for a time, but as she rallicd from” her dazed state’she told her story. She was then removed toa hotel, whera doubtless this morning finds her nurs: ing a big head and a load of remorsc. Cheaper Gas Demande Last night an ordinance, which will be thoroughly apprectated by the householders and at the same time be objected to by the Omaha Gas company, was introduced. It fixes the price of the water-gas furnished to consumers at #1 per 1,000 instead of present, but it provides that those who do not settie up within ten duys from the pre sentation of their bills, shall pay an addi- tional 25 cents per 1,00 feet.

BISMARCK IS BREAKING DOWN His Iron Constitution Undermined By Diseaso, TOTTERING UNDER A HEAVY LOAD A Complication of Disorders Unfits Him For Work and Renders His Tempor the Roverso of Angelic. The Prince Chancellor. Bruity, Feb, 12.—Prince Bismarck’s at- tack of neuralgin is complicated with rhou matism, want of appetite and insomnia, His visits to the reichstag are marked with fro quent outvursts of passion and other ovi dences of extromo irritability, Apart from his morbid physical condition, purty intrigues, aiming to stop his influence with the cm peror, worry the hancellor mor than ‘ever. Connt Von Waldorsee, wh the ultra-conservatives hope to_sce succecd Bismarck, scorod against the chancellor by gotting the emperor to assent to the stopping of the netion against the Kreuze Zeitung. Court report says that when Bismarck woent to the Schloss to protest that the action must proceed he was kept waiting a quarter of an hour in tho ante-chamber, and that in a fit of violent rage he told the chamberlain that the delay was an intentional insult, and that the “emperor, hearing tho broil, left his room hurriedly, apologized 1o the chan- cellor, succeeded “in calming him, and ob- tained Dis nssent to the abandonment of the prosccution. Bismarek, if in sound health, would probably care lit{le for the enmity of the ultra-conservatives. Herr Liebkuecht will introduce in tho reichstag o resoiution condemning mutila- tion in the postofiice of the number of the Contemporary Review containg the article on “Bismarck Dynasty.”” He will insist that, as the action has not” been interdicted, the action of the authorities in excising it' was illegal, He intends to make the incident a pivot for debate on Bismarckian despotism.
