The Omaha Oharter Unanimously Passes the Senate—The Batler Claim—Leglsiative Procecdings and State Houso Gossip. Raiding the Treasury. LrxcoLy, Neb,, March 15.—[Special to Tre Bre. |—The raid boing made on the state troasury is terrific in force and appalling in magnitude, and the action of the legislature up tosthis time gives little promise of su cossful resistance to the onslaught. The de- feat of ex-Governor Butler's claim is thus far the only ray of hope, but even that is not wholly encouraging, for 1t was evident that it would have passed the houso had a vote been reached several hours earlier. The gov- nor's mossage mado the statement that the estimates for the ensuing two years exceeded the appropriations of 1557 by $346,000. It is notorions that many of the amounts in the appropriation bills are larger than the ro- quisitions made on the governor, and the allowances of two years awo will foot up a round $1,000,000, making a grand total of over 3,000,000, Onc'of the boldest and most un- culled for raids is in the linc of salaries for deputies, cle und otker —minor em- ployes of stato oficors and institutions. There is hardly o person in a state ofiice whose salary 4s not fixed by the constitution that is not after a raise, and the list is in- creased by twenty-five new persons.

LaxcoLy, Neb,, March —| Spocial to Tae Bee.|--Senator Keckley's resolution com- itting the senate against fixing a date for final adjournment until after the receipt of the appropriation bills, raised something of ® commotion 1n that body. Senator Howe thought the resolution a re- flection on the committee, He felt that there ought to be no action on it until after the committee reported. Keckley asked if a time had been agreed on by the jomt committee. Ransom answered that the committee had fixed on 12 o'clock of Saturday night, March 5, but that no report had been made. Kecklay—Weeks ago this senate sent a re- spectful request to lave the appropriation bilis sent over here by February 15, to give us time for careful consideration, but there ace many persons interested in having them put through with u rush and we haven't got them yet. This is not a time or place to be too tender of the feelings of men. Those who have been here before know that these bills are likely to come over here about next Thursday and will be reached about 10 o'clock Saturday night, Howe—I want to get at the same result as the senator from York. We only differ as . to methods. Is it best to say to the house: You have only so many more days loft, or shall wo by adopting this resolution say, you bave lots of time! If we agree on an early day for adjournment and then find we need more time, I dbelieve this senato has the sand to reconsider its voto and stay until it can finish these bills. If there are jovs in them they will ve held back as long as possible. I am with Mr. Keckley for scrutinizing every bill, but 1 believe my plan better than a dilly-dally policy, Connor—"The appropriation bills are the most important measures boefore this logis Juture. We ought to have tima to consider them with care, and in my opinion the reso lution is emineatly proper. Sutherland—In times pust the appropria tion bills have been held back in the house 80 long that they come up in the senate at Bor 4 o'clock in the morning, I will not be o party to any such schome at this session. Ransom-—1I do not think that Senator Keck- ley means eny reflection on the committ ‘e planned to accomplish the same thing he is after. It is probable thut the house - tended to send the appropriation bills to the Benato 50 as to allow us time to read them on three separate days. 1T am willing to do any thing to make the hou send these bills here. Iam ready to stop considering houwe bills, 1t will not be done until the senate shows a disnosition to assert its right to a are in that legislation. 1f the resolution will accomplish its design [ am ready to vote for it. The committee had an understand wvuder which the senate und the house w to be led to believe that adjournment had béen agreed on for @ week from - Saturday night, but I was going to withhold my repc until the senate at least should see the titles or the bills. Keokloy—We know how it was two years . 11 “n date for adjourning is fixed mem- bers will make their plans to leave, and the feeling for udjournment will be too strong to Tosist. Ransom—1 feel as Senator Keckley does, hat we should have move time, but his reso ution has frustrated my plan, Now that it 35 made puolic it falls to the ground. he resolution has a tail added by Senator Hurd 10 save the feelings of the committee, sud was passed without further opposition. The Butler Olai ! LaxcoLw, Neb,, March 15. peclal to Tue Bree.)—The fight ovar the Batler claim was one of the wiost hotly contested parliamen fary battles ever witnessed in the annals of Nobraska. The friends of the measure ral- Blod thelr forces and a packed lobby, filled Jargely by men who anticipated a ‘“divy.” Jent its presence and encouragement Lo the goutemplated raid on the state treasury. When the house was called w order Cady the issue squarely by moving to indefinitely postpone the bill, and when this motion was lost by a vote of 20 veas to 41 nays, Butler's friends were greatly encouraged and with supreme confidence in the result Rhodes moved to fix the figure at £80,078.34. This dose was too strong for Corbin, Dempster and their followers, Who honestly thought the state owed Butler something, and they united with Cady and defeated this motion by a decisive vote. Hall thought he saw a way out of the dilemma, and moved that the governor be directed to doed back to Butlor tho 840 acres of land the state stili holds. This compromise would have been aceepted by the friends of Butior had_it not been demonstrated that as the lands were now a part of tue permancnt school fund, a cloar title could not be con- veyed. Gilehrist now thought h to settle tho matter, and moved that the gov- ernor_be allowed ' the sum of $:,500, the appraised value of the lands in question. The test vote was taken on this question, and the roll call resulted as follows : Yeas —Abrahamson, Baker, Bailey, Bal- lard, Berry, Bohacck, Burnham, Caldwell, Coleman_of Polk, Coilins, Deniman, Demp- ster, Dickinson, Diller, Dunn, Fenton, Ful- ler, Gilchrist, Hall, Hanthorn, Hill of Gage, Kelper, e, Ley, McMillan, McNickle, Meeker, O'Brien,’ Olmstead, O'Sullivan, Rhodes, Robb, Sargent, Westover, White- noad, Whitford, Williams, Mr. Speaker—83.

LiNcoLy, Neb., March 15.—|Special to Tae Bee.|—Both houses are overrun with a swarm of obtrusive, noisy lobbyists and sight-scers. They crowd upon the floor and se a babel and a confusion that are dis- graceful and would not be tolerated for a day in any legislature east of Nebraska. The mob fill the aisles, confiscate the members’ seats if momentarily vacated, and pass the presiding officer’s desk without so much as & respectful duck of the head. Half the time it is impossible for members to hear each others speeches, and there is constant pounding of the gavel, but with very little effect. In the house Representative Berlin put through u resolution excluding outsiders from the floor, but after two or three days it was as bad u ever. The horde found friends among the members, who furnishedjthem with passes. ‘I'ne doorkeeper has a string tied to the door und lolls in an easy o s business now is to watch for the flash of ss and then pull the string, . therland has several times demanded the enforcement of the rule excluding outsiders from the floor. Until to-day it has happened that the senate was in committec of the whole, and the un perienced chairman forgot to issue the order or did it so weakly that_ it got lost before reaching the sérgeant-at-arms. This morn- ing Lieutenant Governor Meikeljohn was ap- pealed to. He ordered the floor cleared in an unmistakable tone and suspended pro- ceedings during its execution, The exodus was something surprismg in 1ts numbers, Certain senators purpose keeping the iron railing between themselves and the horde for the remainder of tho session, but may forget themselves, Liter—This afternoon Lieutenant Gov- crnor Meikeljohn interrupted the proceed- ings of the committee of the whole to an- nounce that the rule would be enforced from this time on. ‘The senate had been in- duigent in the past. he said, but the point of order raised by Senator Sutheriand left him no alternative, Unless the senate should suspend the rule he would have to enforce i On motion of Senator Church Howe so much of the ryle was suspended as will admit the familics of the senators to the floor. Ao Important Bill, LiNcoLN, Neb, March 15.—(Special to Tue Bre, |—Following is the text of the im- portant bill urged by the Rock Island, re- commended by the governor, fathered by Senator Nesbitt and passed by the senate with an emergency clause: Section 1.

Lixcowy, Neb., March 15.—|Special Tele- gram to Tue Bee.]—There is considerable excitement in legislative circles over the dis- covery of the fact that & bill introduced in the house by Baker, and passed by that body to-day, changes tho law in regard to gamb- ling, which was enacted two years ago, so that the penalty of the offense is reduced from a felony to a mere misdemeanor. The Dill passed under a misapprehension by a strong majority, only two votes being cast against it. A strong effort will be made to beat it in the senate or induce the governor to veto the measure if it passes the senate. Palmer Declines, Lixcory, Neb., March 15.—[Spezial Tole- gram to Tug Bee])—Captain Palmer, of Plattsmouth, received notice to-day that the cbraska congressional deicgation has 1 to support him for the Dresden con- agl sulship.

Laxcory, Neb., March 15.—|Spoocial to Tre Bee.]—A call of the scnate this morning caught Senators Howe and Ransom absent. When arraigned the senate indulged ina little sport at their expense. Howe was condemned to talke his seat and practice on a lezible signature. Ransom said he had been over to the house to hasten the appropriation bills. He was excused with a vote of thanls. The scnators are taking steps to make a proper recognition of Senator Church Howe's generous hospitality. The employes of tho senato also have designs on the gratitude of several oflicers of that body. “Can we down any of these appropria- tions" asked one member who has no axe to grind of another to-day. “Well,” was _tho reply, “we will probably knock out Tom Kennard's claim for £11,000 and defeat_ the sillkc station scheme and may possibly down oue of the twenty or oo noruial " school bills.”” Hon.

P S An Bighteon-Yoear-Old Girl Takes a Spoofit) of Morphine, AND NOW HOVERS AT THE BORDER It is Presumieh That She Had a Quarrel With Her Lover and Oourtpd’ the Grave to Get Even. A Foolish Girl. Emma Boottger, an cighteen-year-old girl, who resides with her parents at 1517 Cuming street, attempted suicide last night at 11 o'clock by taking a teaspoonful of morphine. The dose was eighteen grains, and two grains of the drug is sufiicient to throw one into the depths of the unknown. ‘Emma was in love, Her affections woere bestowed upon a B, & M. locomotive fireman named Jack Lowry, who boarded near the Boettger residence on Cuming stroet. It is presumed that they had some kind of a quarrel, and Emma, to end her troubles, thought she would be relieved by applying the deaaly drug to her stomach. Where or how she gov the poison is not known. When sho swallowed the morphine she was at her home, but when it began to_take effect she rushed down to Spafford’s drug store, at the corner of Sixteenth and Webster streets, and she told, in an excited way, & physician that she had tried to com mit suicide, The doctor, who, inciaentall was in the store, immediately pumped her stomach and admimstered restor After this the victim was walked along Six- teenth street by Policeman Kissane and a block watchman until midnight. She was taken into the New York chop house No. 2, at 414 North Sixteenth street, and coffee was poured into her. Several physicians were at work until 3 or 4 o’clock _this morn- ing with an electric battery and other re- storatives trying to save hor. At 2 o'clock her parents were notied of Emma's rash act and her father Fred Boettger, an aged German, and a laborer in the smelt- ing works, appeared on the scene. He was almosy overcome With grief, and after look- ing at his uncoescious daughter for a mo- ment, left the chop house without saying a word. While the battery was being applied to Smma, she would exclaim every few min- utes as she rolled her eyes around: “Where's Jack?" Her recovery at 3 o'clock this moruing was vory doubtful, the ph cians stating that her condition was quite dangerous. At a late hour this mornin sont to arrest the man Lowry, it bemg al- leged that he knows mora about the 50 than appears on the surface. He is believed to know either where or how the girl got the poison, or to have been instrumental n pro- curing it. oMcers we IO LA To break the smallest thread weakens the rope.

Pr11sBURG, Pa., - March 15.—A spagial from Wooster, O., teils of a remarkable re- covery from an attack of hydrophobia. The aflicted person was the eieven-year-old son of Jucob Barkley, a well-to-do farmer. Eight years ago the boy was bitten by a dog which later manifested signs of madness and was killed. Nothing serious was thought of the boy's injuries and the wound soon healed up. Six weeks ago young Barkley came home from school and comvlained of feeling un- well. Hydrophobia in its most violent fort soon developed. The attending physicians looked upon the rabie poison as a self-limit- ing infection, and set about to bridge the case over the active period of poison. Large doses of aconite were given to blunt the scnsuary nerves of the throat, hydrate of chloral to obviate restlessness and pro- duce sleep, and salyclate of soda to counteract rabie poison'if it depended upon ferment for its action. The paroxysms grew is now two_weeks since he patient showed any signsof one. Physi- ciuns think compiete recovery certuin. e s The Troubles arve Now Settled. AusTiy, Nev.
