Siowly and laboriously a narrow lane was made through the dense throng, and President Harrison, stopping at frequent intervals toallow those ahead of him to force their way, marched entirely around the immense court and partly back again 10 the upper room.

How the New Administration Is Re- garded Across the Water, LoxpoN, March 4.—The Morning Post mays: “President Hgrrison's inaugural address 18 marked by a commendable ab- sence of bombast, and if this marks the fu- ture tone of the national policy another el ment iu the concord of the world will have been secured The Daily News says: “Gold had a more decisive influence on the late eclection than on any that ‘has gone before. The rich on both sides virtu- ally buy places in the adwministration by liberal donations to the campaign funds It is a form of purchuse systom which bodes no good to the state, and shows that civil service reform niust begin at the very apex of the pyramid. President Harrison's in- augural address is remarkable for its nu- merous foreign .allusions. The union mny refuse to grow in territory, but cannot refuse to grow in interests. The creation of the navy is evidently due to other considerations than the necessity for reducing the surplus, The world may soon have to reckon with a new naval power. There are more disguict- ing signs for those who care to find them in the curious interchange of views on commer- cial union betw Canada and Awmerica than in the fisheries question.” The London Times doubts whether Presi- dent Harrison's proposed new departure re- 1ative to naturalization laws would be advan- tageous either for America or for the rest of the world, Blaine's forcign policy, it say8, appears prominently in the address. The geucral assertion regarding coaling stations and harbors is probabably intended to cover both Samoa and the Canadian fisheries. In the depart- ment of finunce the Times thinks President Harrison’s idens are very clear, The Daily Telogaaph says: “The fact that Mr. Harrison is 8o well disposed to deal with forcien affairs in a calm and equitable spirit will be remarked with satisfaction.” The Standard says: “The message, on the whole, is disappointing. It was certainly not written to please Anglo-Saxcns on this side of the Atlaatic.” All'the unionist dailies make a voint of Harrison's references to law and order us a lesson to England on the Irish question. Cleveland's Courtesy to the Pross. GENERALOFFICE OF THE ASSOCIATED PRESS, New Yonk, March 4.—The retirement of Mr. Cleveland from the presidency affords a fitting opportunity for the Associated press to muke some recognition of the uniform courtesy with which its representatives have been received at the white house and the in- telligent interest that has been exhibited in placivg at its service promptly and without the annoyance that %o often accompanies ofticiul acts, everyuhing that might properly be given to the public. While the Associated press has always been on pleasant terms with the occupants of the white house, the fact that the press was the sorvant of the people, and the proper medium through which to reach them, was never so clearly understood before the adwministration of President Oleveland, The experience of Colonel Lumbnt us 8 jousnalist was un- doubtedly useful in_establishing such scnsi- bie and practicable relations with the A: ciated press at the very beginning of that ad- ministration.

The members of the cabinet were with him most of the e. A vast amount of business was accomplisned.

Va., March 4.—At noon to-day General Goff, republican candidato for governor, and claimant of the oftice, took the oath in one of tho rocwns of the state house set apart for the use of the governor.

TEN AMENDMENTSARE PROPOSED One of the Most Important Being That Providing for the {(nvest- ment of the Permanent School Fund. Looking to Revision. LixcoLs, Neb,, March 4.—|Spooial to Tnr Bee.]—The state constitution has been the object of attack often of the 453 bills ro- duced in the lower house. The “‘grasshop- per eonstitution” does not seem to suit the fastidions lawmakers of theso opulent times, and they propose to revise 1t in the following particulars: House roll No. 1, by Dempster, is the well known submission amendment, by which it was proposed to “forever prohibit the manu- facture, sale and keeping for sale of intox cating liquor as 8 beverage.” This bill was supplanted by senate file 81, the Lindsay vill, and will be allowed to dica natural death. House roll No. 11, by Corbin, was almost identical with th pster bill mentioned above, and will share the same fate. In house roll 131, Morrissey endeavored to checkmate the prohibitiouists at their own game, By the provisions of this bill the question, “shail the liquor traftic be forever reculated in this state according to the pro- visions of the present law known as the Slo- cumb law (" is to be submitted to a popular vote, This measure has been consigned to a state of “innocuous desuetude” by the pass- age of the dual submission bill. House roll 137 is the Corbin amendment, proposiug to 8o change the constitution that the permanent school fund may be invested in registered school district bonds. It is the intention of the author to provide for the loaniug of these funds to needy school dis- tricts 4t 7 per cent interest to " build school bouses and for other purposes. This amend- ment has been favorably considered in the house, but a powerful lobby, represeuting the banikers and money loaners who now have the free use of hundreds of thousands of dollars of school money, is on hand and will persistently endeavor to pigeon-hole the measure. Its fate at present is decidedly un- certai, Mr. Cushing of Douglas has come to the conclusion that the judiciary of the state is under-paid, and in house roll 281 proposes to submit to the electors a proposition to raise the salaries of the judges of the supreme court from $2,500 to $5,000, and of district judges from §2,500 to 3,500 per annum. This bill has been acted on favorably by the committee on constitutional amendinents, During the session of the legislature Mr. Rayner, of Cheyenne, has observed that the work of the supreme court is getting sadly behind, and bas come to tho conclusion that an increase of the working force of the court is absolutely necessary to manage and di pose of the constantly increasing business, He has therefore introduced house roll ), which provides for the submission of an amendment to the constitation raising _the number of judges from three to five. This Dill 1s now in tae hands of the judiciary com- miltee, Mr, George M. O'Brian, of Douglas, pro- poses an important change in the constitu- tiou in house roll 418. The_ bili provides for the submission of an amendment to article 7, reading as follow: ‘very person of the age of twenty-one or upwards, who is a citi- zen of the United States, and who shall have resided in the state one year and in the county, precinct or ward, for the time pro- vided by law, shall be an elector.” This bill has not been considered yet and the mem- bers of the committee on constitutional amendments are nou-committal us to the merits or demerits of this measure. In Louse roll 48, Mr. Rayuer cowes to the front with another bill, by which he pro- poses to change the form of submitting an amendrient to the constitution. The reading of the section he proposes o change is now very cumbersome and contradictary, Mr.. Rayuer suggests that_instead of containing’ bota afirmative and negative forms, the ticket shall simply read, “For the proposed amendment,” leaving the elector who does not wish to' vote “Yes” to simply scratch the sentence out or crase the word *“For” and write Against,” Mr. Cady thinks he has found a soiution of the railroad probtem. The present law em- powers the commissions to fix rates, and in house roll 458 proposes to submit an amend- ment 10 the electors vroviding that the raj way commission shall consist of three per- sons,who shall each receive a salary of $3,000 per annum, and who shall be elected by the people, one each year. My, Coleman, of Antelope, has introduced a similar bill, with the exception that it does not fix the salary. This bill has not yet been acted on by the committee, but some of the committee are favorabic to one or the other of the last two amendments. Both of these bills are yet in the hands of the committee. An Important Measure. Laxcory, Neb., March 4.—[Special to Tie BEee.]—One of the most importaut measures to come before the senate is the joint resolu- tion, alveady passed by the house, for a con- stitutional amendment authorizing the state treasurer to invest the permancnt school fund in the registered bonds of school dis- tricts, At present the treasurer is limited to United States, state and county securities. The books of the state treasurer show a large balance constantly on hand for years past, which, 1t is asserted, has been depos- ited in Lincoln banks without bringing any revenue to the state. The balances at scui- annual dates for three years past will give au idea of the condition of things, On January 1, 1286, it was, in round num- bers, §61,000; July 1, $200,000; January 1, 1887, $255,000; July 1, $440,000; January 1, 1388, £541,000; July 1, $416,000. 1t will be noticed that most of the balance has becn investoed since last July, but au ex- amination of the books will show that the ter part of it has been disposed of since nber 1, 1855, when the balance on hand was §270,000. It is insinuated that this speedy reauction of the money in the treasury was made in anticipation of - the move now being made in the legislature to open a new avenue of investment, It was hoped, by wiping out the surplus, o do away with the stringeut argument for the proposed amendment, and the state treusurer is under 8us- picion of being hand in glove with the ring that has senemed to keep big volumes on hand in the state funds for the benefit of certain Lincoln bankers, One of the sample transactions is that of November 15, 1858, when the state sent to the eastern money leuders and bought Ne- braska county ponds to the amount of $30,000, They were paying 8 per cent inter- est. The eastern capitulists would not sell without a consideration, and the state offi- cers conld not pay & premium. These gentle- men solved the difficulty without trouble. The eastern holders were allowed w cut off and pocket interest coupons to the amount of 3 per cont for the whole period during the life of the bonds, The stute will only re- ceive 5 per cent intercst. The state treasurer has successfully re- duced the surplus, but there promises o be au enOFMOus Income in this permunent school fund within the next fow years, The report of the commissioner of public Jands and buildings shows that on November 380, 1558, that there were due the state on school Lands sold (nod payable to this fund), very nearly #4,000,000. A bill passed the senate extendini: the time of payment Litl 1900, buy it was kitled in the house. The objoct was 1 Jieep the notes eutstauding bocause they paying the siate 6 per oent interest. The ument agaist it in the house was that the owners of these lunds ave taxed only for their interest in thens as shown by their pay- ments. Insome parts of the state these lauds have udvanced i value to #25 or even 30 per ucre, while the holder may heve paid 10 wore than #2 10 85 0n the purchuse price. As 5001 as they are wholly pald for these land will be asscssed the same as other sim Alax property, but o extend the ume for nukt:: deferred payments would rob the state of mony thousand dollavs in taxes. “Phis point was uot brought out in the sen- ate's discussiou of the bill, and the friends of the measure i that body wc- 0@ heartily in the action of the house in eating the bill. Of course all of the $3,000,0% is not com- ing in at once, but a large part of it is liable to immediate collection, At the oftice of the laud comuissioner it is stated that paywents to the smount of $500,000 to §1,000,000 are past duc. The, payment has not beon en- foread because:it was believed this logisla ture would pasw ameasure of relief. These past duc notes are paying intorest, but new that the legislature has refused to extend them they will be vollected and turned into the perminent wohool fund, The provability is that before the pext session of the legisia iure thore will basfully 81,600,000 due. The l;‘m;(l show this state of facts on November 80, 1558 3 Of the moneyofithis fund there were in- vested in Unitad Btates and state securitics, and registered gounty bonds, the aggrogate sum of $1,800,000, which will havo to be re- invested from time to time. The was a bal- ance in the troasury of $¢70,000, There is due on deferred payments for sehiool lands £4,000,000 0f which nearly or quite $1,000.000 18 liable to immediate collection. Thore are 05,000 acres of kohool lunds that have not et been leased or sold. Thore are 1,427,000 Acres under leaso aud liable In timo- to be hie friends of the state treasurer account for the large balances in years past with the stateinent that it has been difficult to get the prescribed secnritics; and yot, in the face of the millions to come into the permanent schiool fund, they opposo the propoaition to make the bonds of ‘the school districts of Nebraska have no available for investmont, and they substitute to offer, Tho Itegents Alarmed. LINCOLN, March 4.—(Special to Tue Bee.] ~The regents of the state university are alarmed and pleading for mercy, They have been supporters of Prof. Billings, but now are willing to sucrifice him to save their ap- propriation. An officer of the university who is on the floor of the legislature daily in the interest of that inatitution, has suggested that the proper method to reach Billings, is by resolution. He has given it out that the regents would be guided by a request from tho iegislaturo for the removal of Billings, “onty don't eripple the stute university by cutting down its appropriation.” The sentiment of the senate is clearly against tho protessor, but his porsuasive in- Huence is getting in its work in the house, The feeiing of the senators is not so much against the innoculation theory or the work of experimenting us it is against Dillings per- sonally. Ho is regarded as a_quarrclsome, jealous, cranky egotist who is setting the various state departments ut swords' points and bringing disrepute upon the state. It is argued that there are other scientists as capable as Billings, ‘others who can push the hog cholera theory 10 its conclusion as weil as he, and who will attend to their legiti- mate duty without abusing other stale de- partments or firing hot shot into_republican candidates, Prof, Billings admits that he has mado a mistake in these respects, but the confession comes late. He says he ' has frequent offers of morc remuncrative po- sitions, claims to have refused a 5,000 place last weck, but he announces that being in a fight he will sec it through if 1t takes a head, officially, The proposition to establish an_ independ- ent agricultural college comes late in the ion. There has been no preceding agi- on, and there may be o wuch inertia and too little time to give the proposition even careful consideration. It will bring the under discussion, however, and may ad uitimately to a caroful study of the sii- uation before taking action upon so import- ant a proposition. For the Benefit of Teachers, , Neb,; March 4.—|Special to Tuz —Senator Roche says his bill for regis- tering the orders of school districts is for the benefit of teachers {h country schools. “There are mady school districts in the populatéd , parts of Nebruska too Poor to pay their! teachers properly,” he cx- plains, “‘and the latter have to take orders on the treasurer. These orders may be out fora year before there are funds for their payment, and themghe teacher conducting the school at the' time may step in and take all the money, while tho order of the year before goes unpaid! The result is a great hardship to the country.school tea of the undertainty of pay ve a big. discoiint, oft igh as cent, to get their orders cashed The object of the' bill is this: The distr: troasurer must ioep a register of the orders | issued, and they must be paid in rotation'as issuca. When funds ave received he must send notice by wail to' the holders of orders entitled to payment. By this means bankers and others who buy these orders will bp enabled to calcuiate on the time of payment and the discount will be greatly reduccd.” The Charter in Peril. LixcoLy, Neb., March 4.—|Special to Tae Bee.]—The efforts of interested partiés to secure a moditication by the senate of the Omaba charter bill, in respect to the street paving clause, if successful, will almost cer- tainly defeat the me; Should the bill be sent back to the house the Douglas county delegation will be divided, and therc is a powerful combination on the floor of the house who are determined not to allow the il to take up any more time, If they get a suspicion that the bill' has been tampered with in the interest of corporations, they will kill it. Some of the members of the Douglas delegation who favored giving the street car companies 4o years exemption {rom paving, now say that the senate must put the bifl through just as it came from the house, or Omaha will not get a new charter. It is understood that the senators from Douy- las have agreed o several changes suggestod by special interests, aand, as one member ex- pressed it, “Unless the schemes of these designing parties are frustrated the peoplo of Omaha won't know the bill when 1t passcs the scnate.” The State Printing Bill, Lixcovy, Neb., March 4..—|Speecial to Tu g Bee, he bill for a state printer is doubr- ful of passage. Even if uot vigorously op- posed it proposcs an important change likely to provoke a long discussion and comes late in the session. The committees, however, are at work remodeling the bill to meet ob. jections. The senate sub-committee hayo re- auced the price of compositi from 65 w 60 cents and base the rate of pressworlk on sixteen-page instead of eight-page forms. The last legislature appropriated 15,000 for printing and up November 30 #45,11% had n spent. .

The first proceeding was an aflempy to straighten out the tangled record. of Saturday's adjourn- ment. Certaln sonators wanted to put President Church Howp on rocord as declar- ing the motion fur'a recess lost when it actually had iftecn ayes to nine nays. Howe defended bimself with the statement tuat the secretary gave him the vote as eleven to eleven, and that it was uot his business to g0 over the socretary’s poll list. Ho also assertod that on account of the numerous motions and the several changos, he had sug gested at the Ume that the vote be taken u nd time, which was a fact, but the sug- gestion was not acted on. Secretary Seeley oxplained thut in making the changes in ths tally sheet the result became mixed.

C., March 4, This was the centennial inauguration, but apart from its historic significance it has beon the most noteworthy inauguration in the history of the last hall century. For though the inaugurations of provious presi dents were attended occasionally by unpleas ant weather, yet there has never boen, within tue memory of any living man, 8 day when all tho elements seemod to couspire to make the weather all that is unendurable, and never has the loyal enthusissm of tae people risen s) far superior to all obstacles as to day. The weathor necessarily dotracted from the brilliancy and beauty and the elit ter of the military display. The drams were mufiled in rubber, and the music at times sounded hollow. The men wore bundled up in their overcoats, and looked jaded and worn WasHiNeTON Buneavu Tar Ovana Bre, } Wasnisor from their weary iramp through the slush, But all were animated by the same spirit of loyalty and devotion to the now chief magistrate, and the ploasentest foature of it all is that this loyalty 1s wholly devoid of any paitisan spirit. There was no trace of partisan spirit in all of the nundreds of thousands who thronged the streots to-duy. Democrats and republicans though they have been, to-day they were all Americans, shout - ingout the glad welcome to the new presi - dent. Mr. Harrison’s demeanor has been such as to win him the warmest words on all sides, Diguified and self-possossed. he yet showed at ull times that he was fully conscious of the importance of the great dramaof which he was the contral figure, He felt an honest pride in the enthusiasm showed for him ull along the line and his ex- pressive features portrayed his pleasure. His ride from the capitol to the white house was a continuous ovation; and evea the silent and defeated man who rode beside him smiled at times at some little token of popular favor. As he returned from the stana where he had taken the onth of oftice president, that had made him ho stopped in the corridors and ted both friends and strangers d forward to congratulato him. was blocked at times, aud several of the senators found it necessary to form them- selves into a body guard to protect him from tho onsluughts of the zealous admirers, and as he returned from the vice president's chamber, to take his place in the parade, his carriage was surrounded. Although tho rain beat in his face, he waited until he had shaken hands with all who managed to p forward. His kindliness and courtesy to-day at this first public appearance made a most favorable imvrossion, aud there is every prospect that there will be established be- tween Mr. Harrison and the people of Wash- ington that warm bond of personal love and sympathy that has been 50 notorwously absent during the last four years. MRS, HARRINOY. 0 many people who crowd galleries to-day, und to nearly all who stood around the platform, the face of Mrs. Hurri son was familiar. When she entered the senate chamber shie was recognized at_once, and a burst of applause greetcad her. Natur- ally she absorbed the atteution of all, and it was some few moments before the people uintily dressed ladies who her “danghter and her To them, 100, there was a greeting given. All restraint van ished, however, when the ladies adjourned, with all the senate, to the platform to wit- 1 the scoate the taking of the oath. Many who from rposition could not see Mrs. Harrison, rewarded themselves by watching every smile that_ flitted across the faces of the presidential ladies as they foilowad the cor monies. Their appearance on the platform was @ pleasant surprise, for it had been generally feared that the ram would have detained thom, and indeed iv had been hinted at first that they would not be present at the capitol at all. ~ After the cere- monies re over they re-entered their car- riuges, The crowd, which had lost sight of them for a brief moment, immediately recog- nized them again, and_when the earriages drove off no smull portion of tue assembled crowd deserted the parade, which was just then begzinning o move, and ran after the carriages for blocks in the hope of catchiug a P of Mrs. Harrison. In ail the vast con- course of people that were vacked into the senate galleries to-day, like so many sar- dines, one pew presented a great gaping void. It was the pew reserved by courie for the departing president. Not a single mewber or fricud of the president’s family was present. It had been observed that pos- sibly Mrs. Cleveland would attend, and thero was a rumor to that effect this morning, but it proved otherwise.
