The Militia Bill Neb., March 5. —[Spoc! Lrscor 1to Tre Bee.|—The appropriation bills came up as a special order this mornmg. The contingent expenses for the governor's office were passed with very littie opposition, but when the appropriation for the ofice of the adju- tant general was reached it provoked a storm Fieldgrove of Buffalo gained the floor ana moved to adopt the repor Cameron of Washington moved to strike out the item of $40,000 for the support of the militia. The wotion was seconded by Everntt of Burt. Bortis moved to reduce the item to $20,000, which was further amended by Cady by ad- ding the words, “in lieu of all other appro- priations." Coleman of Antelope, chairman of the committee on militia, defended the original bill. He referred to the militia of other states, ana made the statement that it was the well-drilied militia of the south that came near defeating the union armies. Hall asked Coleman if the Georgia militia had been_ vreseat at the “battle of Wahoo, " which side would have whipped! [Laugl ter. (,ulul_v thought that if the bill was cut down at all the whole thing should be wiped out. Caldwell said there is a strong seatiment in the state against a large appropriation for the support of the militia, and also a senti- meut in favor of keeping up some semblance of a military organizition. He thought the monthly drill might be dispensed with, but the annual reunion should be kept up. Christy, of C was not in favor of spending the peopie’s money needlessly, but thought the amendment of his colle: Mr. Bortis, to make the appropriation $20,- 000, should prevail. Corbin thought the state was now on a peace footing, and did not need any standing army pensioned on the tax pay Speaker Watson defended the militia. He said that a well trained militia was the safe- guard of the state; that in every case of pub- lic disorder the people instinctively turned to the militia for protection against mob vio- lence. Nebraska, he continued, can afford 10 keep abreast of her sister states in this matter, He referred to the Pittsburg riots in 1575 as an instance where the militia were found almost indispensable. White asked if 1t was not true that the militia had to be locked up in the round house until released by the national troops. Watson thought this might have been the case, but the Nebraska mlitia are made of better metal. In closing, he denounced the scheme to do away with the militia as a dem- ocratic ery, championed by such reformers as J. Sterling Morton and Van Wyck of Otoe, and about the only argument the dem- ocrats hud during the campaign, Majors of Nemaha failed to sce the need of i state of a done ayers, groaning under teling the actions of tiiis body with a lively interest. ~The question is, shall wo continue the extrava- gance inaugurated two years ago, or shall we make an effort to relieve the people from the burdens of taxation. Baker made a strong plea in favor of the appropriation, and in’ the course of s re- marks referred to Majors' congressional record, and declared that no man could vose as an innocent man who had attemped to se- oure a seat in congress through fraud, per- jury and forgery. He also referred to Ma- jors in no complinientary terms, as the head of the so-called granger combination. Several members endeavored to interrupt the speaker, but Majors asked that Baker be allowed to finish his tirade. ~When he sat down Mujorsarose in an agitated manner and read a rule of the house forbid- ding members from calling each other Ly name and from impugning their motives. e asked mo protection for himself from the house, either physically otherwise. *“The gentleman from Jefferson warned me,” continued Majors, ‘‘when the Dill to appropriate§20,000 to send him on a junketing trip to Washington went down to its death, that he had it in for me, and now the attack has come. It is not an attack on me, but on thut huge class (farmers) of mew- bers with whom I presume to act. An exciting colloquy then followed. Baker vehcmently denied that he had threatened Majors and stated that “the as- sertion of the gentleman 1s absolutely false.” Majors advanced toward him, and shouted : , Mr. Baker. You told me right there (indicating a position near Baker's seat) that you had it in for m The chairman rapped for order, and Baker still attempted to speak. Finally Fieldgrove's voice was heard, and the gentleman from Buffulo being recognized by the chair, said: *‘I now arise for informa- ion.

Piscicultural Matters, LixcoLw, Neb., March 5.—[Special to Tz Ber.)—Fish Commissioner Lew May, of Fremont, has come down to see if his appro- priation is hatehing properly. He asked for §16,000 for two years. That includes $1,500 for 4 new building at the South Bend hatch- ery and §2,000 for a car for carrying fish. “With a car of our own we can great many more fish,” he explaius, “and with better results, mot to mention the greater ease of handling them and the relief of not having to bother and depend on bag- gagemen, We could probably get free trans- portation, because we always do in the bag- gage car, The railroad companies and the baggugemen have been very generous in that respect, he other §12,500 is for the neces- heip and othor expenses of conducting the hatchery and planting the fish., The commissionér gets no salaries. The only states that allow their fish comwissioners a sulary are Maryland and Iowa, and these states show about the poorest results, 0.

But Tne Bk correspondent took his word for it. Five years ago the commission re- ceived from the government 145 carp. No record was kept of the first ye: product. In 1880, 5,000 voung carp were distributed, in 1887, 12,000 and in 1888, 34,000, all from the litlle stock furnished by the government. M. E.

LixcoLy, Neb., March 5. —|Special to Tae Ber.|--Now that it has secured a favorable report from the labor committee, Senator Connor's arbitration bill is tikely to hold a couspicuous place tu the consideration off the senate. It provides for the legal adjustment of con- troversies between euployers aud employes when there arc not less than twenty-five of the latter. 1f a majority of the employes in a departmont become dissatisfied with _the torms or-conditions under which they work or pronosed chan, in wages, they may give a_written notice to their employer. If the latter cannot adjust the difference otherwise he may choose to arbitrate it. In that case each side will appoint an arbitrator, who shall choose a third. The question at issue must be submitted in wrting and concisely, and the decision will be confined to the points 0 submitted. The arbitrators may adminis- ter ouths, either side may appear by coun- sel and the arguments may be written or oral, The finding of the arbitrators shall be reduced to writing, which shall be open to public inspection and a copy shall be served upon each of the parties to the dispute or their reprosentatives, and said decision shall take effect from the date of the finding unl some other time is fixed thercin and ba bind- ing for six months, or until cither party has given the other notice in writing of his inten- tion not to be bound by the same at the ex piration of sixty days from the date of said notice. The costs of arbitration are to be fixed and paid as previously agreed on by the parties to it, and in the absence of such ment, arato be paid as the arbitrators v decide. It will be observed that arbitration is not compulsory, and the gnding of such tribunal may be declared off at theend of two months. The Normal School Me; res Lixcors, March 5.—[Special to Tue Ben.] —The case with which the Neligh uormal school bill slipped through the senate would indicato that the friends of the numercus bills in the house were not shrewd in select- ing to shoot their bills into tho east end of the state nouse. Senator Roche's bill was one of the last in but is alrea on its wa, down the long corridor toward the house. When introduced Senator Roche found only three or four senators in favor of it, but it passed without debate or flurry of any kind. It provides that Neligh shall donate to the state the Gates coliege property, valued at #40,000. There is evidence at hand of a scheme in the house to pass three normal school bills, and the plan is to divide the spoils, two schools for tne house aud one tor the scnate, This is a picnic for Neligh, as its bill is the ounly one introduced in the upper house. The present normal school is in southeastern Ne- braska. Neligh would accommodate north- eastern Nebraska and all that norttiern strip bordering on the Elkhorn railroad. Under the scheme the other two schools would be contendod for by southern, western and southwestern Nebr a. It is not probs lowever, that any of the bills will pass. ‘There are sixteen claim- ants for normal school plums, - and each one is likely to fight every other one unless compromise is made on some other appropria- tion. Some of the approiriations bad not been reached in the house committee, and there is a general, determined struggle to grab all. g, Olmstead Subsided. LiNooLN, Neb.,, March 5.—[Special to T BEE.|—The scenes in the house, as the ses- sion nears its close, are becoming decidedly animated. The railroad cappers are being “snaked out™ and compelled to reveal them- selves, This morning, when tho bill pro: ing for the reassessment of certain railroad lands in Greeley, Valley, Howard and other counties was up for consideration, Olmstead moved that the bill be referred back to the committee of the whole. Cady said this on meant further delay, and charged Olmstead with resorting to underhand tactics to deteat the bill. He said the whole matter had been thoroughly can- vassed, and the bill had been on the general file for Why not fizht the oattle openly ¢ not urge some valid reas for your course in this matter? Olmstead arose, advanced two seats to- wards Cady, and with a_tragic air pounded the seats, and in a defiant manner said: *1 hurl back the insinuation that 1 am not act- ing in good faith, into the teeth of the gentle- man from Hoy and stamp it as fais toto.” Cady sn answered: ‘“‘Yes, in toto. Well, that's Latin, and you may under- stand 1t, but we common people are not sup posed to know what it means.” Olmstead subsided, and the bill went through with a sweeping majority. Ay A Resolution of Coanfidence. LixcoLy, Neb,, March b.—{Special to Trne Beg.]—On motion of Baker the following resolution was adopted in the house this morning: Whereas, It has pieased a kind Providence and the wisdom of a great people, to return to power the republican party of the United States, Therefore, Be it resolved, That we recog- nize in the executive head of the United States of America, ability, honesty and integrity; and be it Resolved, That we congratulate his ex- cellency, Henjamin Harrison, in attaining g.p_uiglmsn position in the gift of man, and e it Resolved, That the life, public and private, of Benjan Harrison has been such, as to title hun to the name of “A typical Amer- an,” and a worthy example to be imitated Il men; and be it Resolved, That we heartily endorse the principle of government expréssed in the in- fiuguml address of our great president; and Tt Resolved, That we have an abiding con- fidence in the wisdom and honesty of the in- coming administration to protect the homes, labor and industries of our country, and so administer the law, as to insure **A free bal- lot and an honest count,” and win the admir- ation of all sections of this nation. el Getting More Than They Want. LixcoLy, Neb,, March 5.—[Special to Tue Bee.)—The large appropriations for inci- dental expenses for the various state depart- ments, recommended by the committees on fingnce and ways and means, are provoking much comment in the house. In many cases the amounts allowed even excead the liberal estimates of the parties on whom the ple: ant duty of spending the money will devoly For instance, the adjutant general asked for express charges, telegraph and telephone cnses, $400,” and was allowed $500. The commissioner of labor asked $300 for postuge and gets & and for *books, blanks and printing”’ 8350, and was allowed $1,000; for travehing expenses he wants only $100, and the item is raised to $1,200. The telegraph, telephone and express charges for this ofico are estimated at $150, and #3500 is allowed In the estimate of expenses of the se tary of state is the item of §0 for repairs. In the printed bill it is raised to $500, and thus it goes ull through the list. The committee will bave no little dificulty in explaining these matters to those members, and their name is legion, who propose to keep a sharp eye on the state treasury. Charter Amendments. LiscoLy, Neb., Mar al to Tie Bek,|—While the Omaha charter was under discussion in the house Messrs. Broatch, Wheeler, Davis, Chaffee, Bedford and F'red W. Gray came down. One of them, thought to have been Giray, induced Representative Olmstead to offer an amendment to the sec- tion prescribing the duties of the board of public works. Said amendment provides that the board shall superintend all public works except_the supervision of the con- struction of city halls, market houses, jails or other public buildings. 4 Other amendments made on the floor raise the salaries of the comptroller, police judgo and assistant city attorney and make the winimum population for a metropolitan city 80,000, The bill is engrossed for third read- ing and to be amended before leaving the house must be recommitted. Kavor the Fence Bill, , Neb., March 5.—[Special Tele- gram to Tus Bee.)—The senate committee will report favorabiy on the bill allowing the owner of land along a raiwoad w build a fence and collect of the raiiroad if the latter fail to fence after having six months notice from such owner.

AFTERNOON SESSIC A baro majority was present when the gavel fell. ‘The senate went into committes of the whole, and the first bill to como up was MeMillan's _house roll, familiarly known as the South Omaha charter. It provides for the incorporation of pluces of 8,000 to 25,000 a8 cities of the first class. Senator I'unck, of Beatrice, moved to lay the bill aside until Senator Walbach, of Grare Island, should be present that the, mizht agree upon a nopulation limt, as the citios as well as South Omaha are concerned. Other sen thought these gentlemen should have presented their desires to the committee in cities and town Funck' motion was defeated and on motion of Sel tor Ruvmond the readiug of the bill was d pensed with and it was recommended fo without further ado. The bill has ty pages, and the senate thought lifo too rt, as one member expressed it, to dissect such a measure after having passed the threshing machine of the house. Another bill for the suppression of bucket shops came up and was strangled with noat- i aispateh by a vote of 14 to 8. 's amendment to the revenue law was approved. It directs the state board o f equalization to examine and compure the various county assessments and then make a just and equitable apportionment of the ag- greeate amount of state tax to be raised by each county. The bill is intended to correct the irregularities of the present per centage system, under which the countics with a low assessed valuation escape paying a fair share of the state taxes. ‘The resolution for a constitutional amend- ment increasing the supreme court to five mumbers was recommended for passage. The following bills were killea: Legalizing defective land titles when have gone unquestioned; another requi clerks of district courts to write up and read {hvir Journals daily, apd an anti-bucket shop bill. A, In adopting the report of the committee of the whole the friends of the last bill tried desperately to savé it by various moticn: but were 1 to 3 votes i’ the minority. A fourth anti-bucket £hop is on file. Houke.

Cady opposed thé inotion. Ho could nos see why this motion should be made except to delay the bilt. ‘Thomas also opposed the motion, and said the judiciary committee had considered the bill and both sides had been heard, and ex- borted the friends of the meuasure W vote down all dilatory motions. Olmstend’s motion was lost, and the bill re rommended for passage. McBride moved that the general appropri- at'on bilis be now considered. The following items for the expenses of the executive wer aliowed : For postage, $100; books, blanks and printing, $300; stationavy, #0; telegraph, telephons and express, $100; furnituro and repai Bouse rent, $2,000; contingent fund, 0. Delanoy moved to strike out the item for house rent, but iv was lost, The appropriation for the support of the adjutant general’s oftice was taken up, Cameron moved to strike out the item of $40,000 for support of the state militia. Bortis moved to make the amount £20,000, and Caldwell §5,000. Both amendments were lost, and the motion to strike out car- ried by a vote of 44 to 40. Ly, Neb,, March 5.—|Spacial to Tuz The consideration of the appropria- tion bill was resumed. Christy, of Clay, moved to insert the amount, $20,100, for support of the state mulitia for the coming bennial period. Hall wanted to know what they would do with the extra 2100, Carlin and Majors opposed the bill, and Delaney could not see the return the tax payers would veceive from this expenditure. Ballard thought that something should be allowed, or the money aiready expended wouid be a dead loss. Spec avor of the measure, Matt opposed the amendment, and could not. see why the democrats should be drageed into the discussion, The ques- tion of party should have nothing t» do with the matter. The amendment was adopted by a vote of 44 to 40. Phe question of paying a tax of 2 cents per pound on all sugar made from cane or plants grown in Nebraska came up asa special order ‘Wilcox explained the workings of the sugar industry in Kansas under a similar law. Heo thought that this encouragement would build up a great sugar producing business in this state. Robb said he did not want to antagonize ths bill, but the sugar ndustry was the best protected of all wndustries now and the sugar trust the most oppressive, Caldwell favorea the bill and referred to the bounties offered by F'rance and Germany in bullding the sugay interests in those coun- tries. ‘Fhe Cady bill, authorizing the payment of a hounty of 14 cent per pound, was amended by increasing the amount to 1 cent per pound und recommen c}!or passage.
