Lrwcorx, Neb., March 20.—Special to Tre Brr.|—The manunar in which the state is be- ing bled by the leeches is illustrated by a case that has just come to light. Among tbe Dilis before the house is one to appropriate $14,265 to pay 136 persons for ammals killed by order of the live stock commission in the yoars 1385, 1550 and 1887;als0 soveral individ- ual claims of a similar character.

[Sigued.] M Boss Stont's Impudence. Lixcoux, Neb.,, March 20.—[Special Tele- gram to Tre Bxe.]—The senators who have pledged themselves to stand for retrench- ent arrived at an understanding in time to lefeat the Beatrice appropriation of $39,000 tols afternoon. It has been decided to sub- ect the Hastings appropriation of $30,400 to eroic surgery also, The Hastings hospital for the insane has one building and Norfolk hospital two new wings, making three buildings available for insane. When fur- nished they will relieve the Lincoln hospital, and the exorbitant demands of the latter ‘will be put under the knife when their turns como. The senators have no disposition to cripple those institutions, and such minor \n\fidhlg! or appliances as are absolutely in- dispensibie, will be put into the general ap- propriation bills. The action of the house in restoring Boss Btout's claim for 35,800 for interest on war- yunts, has arouséd intense indignation, and the opponents of this rank jobbery threaten to defeat the whole appropriation bill rather than pass this item. It now appears tha BStout had this claim in a bill by itself, and nsked Cady to introduce it, but he declined to have anything to do with it. Cady says the claim then was $52,600, ‘The bill disappeared, but the claim bobbed up in the finance committee as $35,800, and by some unknown hocus-pocus the committes put it fnto the general appropriation biil. The scheme Is a shrewd one. If approved in com- mittee of the whole it will require only a ajority of the members present to adopt ft‘m committee report. Thereisa big sized suspicion that quite a number of members are likely to be absent at that time if not checkmated, but the foes of this job will frustrate the scheme by a call of the house and @& vote that will put every member on record. Stout ‘was stationed out in the corridor during vhe ght and by a well regulated system sent for mewber after member. On their return from the interviews, those members were Btopped at regular distances by other lobby- ists with with seductive tales. This is but a sample of the disgraceful socenes being enacted here. The onslaught on the senate has already begun, prominent among the assailants being ex-Governor But- ler, but Senators Keckley and Sutherland, who are leading the repelling force, believe they can denen‘s on twenty or twenty-five votes to meet the assault with & solia front. Baker's Sharp Practice. LixcovLy, Neb., March 20.—{Special to Tae Bre.|—Baker's sharp practice while occu- pying the chair in committee of the whole to-day 18 & matter of much comment. Hall moyed to take up the maximum tarfl bill, which has been a speaial order in control of the author for several woeks, and Baker put the motion and while the ayes were much louder aud stronger than the noes, Baker arbitranily declared the motion lost. ~Loud calls for division were heard from a)l parts f the house even before the result was an- unced, but the chairman said it was too wo and refused to reverse his ruling. When tho house adjourned an excited crowd of farmers gathered around the member from Jefferson and expressed their opinion of his arbitrary action in most emphatic terms. Protection Against Boodlers, LaxcoLy, Neb., March 20.—| Speciul to Tz Brr.|—Members of the senate are taking heroic measures to protect themselves from being bored and trampled under foot by the hungry boodlers, Ono of thom has waraed the (oorkecper not to admit ex-Governor Butlek to the floor without permission of the president, on pain of losing his place. Tho rule will be enforced s to other hungry vandals. The Hustings Appropriation. LixcoLy, Neb., March 80.—[Special to Tas Bek.|—-Tho bill appropriating $31,400 for new buildings for the Hastings hospital for in- sane, was reported favorably by the scnate tanding committee out of courtesy to Sen- stor Hoover, but members of the committee acnr\'ad the right to oppose the bill on the loor, S te. L N, Neb., March 20.—[Spucial to Taz Enn.;- ho first effect of the senatorial cau- us in the lnterest of retrenchment was the defeat this morning of a bill passed by the house to allow the claim of Pawnee ocounty fur $170 for expenses in collocting cortain taxes, The several bills amendi the law verning counties under township organiza jon were passed, and the senate went into committee of the whole to consider the pro- Fw\l constitutional amendment permitting e investment of the state permanaent school uad in registered school district bonds. Cornell championed the measure and ated that within two years theve would be «ne ov school lands ayd payable to this fund about §2,000,000, The statc has found diffl- culty in pliciog these funds profitably in tho pant, and the proposition now is to open & new avenuo of inyestment. Nesbitt--1 would like to know how many trict school funds the gentleman from Terry is interested in. Couell—I am not interested in one iota, h'm-ll{ or indirectly, but I am interested in ho welfaro of the 00,000 school cbildren of Nebrasks. : Norval sald there was no wmoney in the fund, und there would econ be county beuds substitute and first class oities in the placo of regis- tered school district bonds, He assorted that for sale. Hs believed it Gnwiso to fritter away the school fund in insecure distriot bonds, Conell said the reason there was no money in the fund was because the state treasurer had gone east, bought up Nebraskn bonds and allowed the eastern holders to slip off interest taugwnu to the amount of 1, 2 or 8 per cent, which is now going into their pockets without a dollar invested. Nosbitt explained that the framers of the constitution aimed to limit the investment, of the scaool fund to such securities as would be safe. He believed it a wise policy, lm} he protested against the attempt to break down the safe- uards. These school district bonds are aing hawked about for purchasers, and aro being sold at 75 to 80 ceats on the dollar. ‘This measure soeks to hold up Nebraska by the throat and say it must take securities ‘which Wall street will not accept except at a heavy discount. Conner was a member of the constitutional convention and knew that only aftor a long struggle was it made possible to invest the school fund in county bonds. He asked if the state had ever losta_dollar invested in county bonds, He asked if any gentioman knew of a dollar lost by an investor in regis- tered school district bonds. He had been in- formed that the late state treasurer had ro- fused % buy county bonds on the plea that he could not pay the preminm asked. That treasurer, said the scnator, had the money in bank paying nim interest ond he walked out of ofice with $100,000. What is the object of registering school dis- trict funds! I8 it to give nuthoritative evi- dence that they have been issued in compli- ance with all the legal requirements? The speaker defied the opposition to point to a dollar doposited in registored school district bonds if properly issued. He challenged any member to show that a lobbyist has been urging the passage of this bill. On the other lind, lobbyists havo boen persistently asking for'tho defeat of this bill. Wall stroet prefers city bonds because thoy can bo bad in large blocks, but there is no class of bonds so_engorly sought by small dealers a8 these rogistered district bonds. Cornell denied that the school bonds of his district were being hawked about, and asserted that they could be sold at par. Nosbitt opposed an _amendment to the bonds of metropolitan an Omaha lobby had been urging the pas- sage of this bill, while a syndicate of Lincoln bond purchasers had pushed through the bill to change the law as to who shall issuo school bonds. The bill under consideration is to unload upon the state the private in- vestments of individuals. Nesbitt's amendment was lost by a tie vote, and an amendment by Conner was adopted barring school bonds issued prior to the passage of the act. The bill was recom- mended for passago by a vote of 14 to 12 AFTERNOON SESSION. ‘The senate passed the bill to lev the state printing on contract in job lots and went into committee of the whole. The first thing reached was the bill to appropriate 50,000 for land and new buildings for the Beatrico institution for feeble-minded children, Senator Keckley moved the indefinite postponement of the bill and asserted that the time had come to discriminate more care- fully in making appropriations for state in- stitutions. He would not favor a measure to cripple the institutions in their proper maintenance, but almost every institution comes to each successive legislature with a demand for new buildings, and it is time to call a halt. Here is a request for $17,000 for a 170 ficre farm. The children of Beatrice are not qualified to engage in farming, and it willbe a losing investment to buy high priced land to employ children. Senator Nesbitt took similar ground, say- ing that all these imbecile children needed was a place to make mud pies, and he fur- ther argued that when the parents of such children were able to provide for them they should not be made a burden upon the state. Senator Funck of Beatrice made a gal- lant fight for the bill, explaining the work and the needs of the institution, and was supported by Senator Lindsay. Senator Wolbach, of Grand Island, tried to delay conclusions by moving that action be postponed until the committee on finance should report the aggregate of the appropria- tion bill as directed by yesterday's resolu- tion. Senator Raymond, of Lincoln, who is chairman of that committee, promptly sec- onded the motion, but it was almost as promptly defeated.. Raymond then moved im Emendmunz to strike out the $17,000 for lan Senator Ransom said he was not surprised at Raymond’s course. It has got around to that time in the session when Lancaster has a hand in the basket and trying to pull out all she can. In addition to this $59,000 the- Beatrice institution asks for $38.000 for mai tenance, Here is an item of §2,000 for furni- ture, Why, the way things have been done that's not enough to make the acquaintance of the dealers. Tho amendment was voted down and the bill was indefinitely postponed by a vote of 21 ayes. Ransom then moved that fhe senate con- sider no more house rolls until the appropria- tions bills are all in. Lindsay raised the point of order that the committee of the whole could not take this action, and the chair sustaied t he point. Ransom appealed from the decision, declar- ing it an outrage in the senate, and a noisy squabble ensued between Ransom, Lindsay and Raymond, The chair's decision was re- versed. The senate wont into an acute spasm of filibustering, during which motions and points of order rained thick and fast without Teceiving attention from the chair. Raymond roso to a point of privilege and repelled the imputations cast upon his in- tegrity by Ransom when he insinuated Lan- caster county was trying to raid the state trensury. Ransom said he had been here before and had a right to say that Lancaster county filches more appropriations than any other county in the state. He said Raymond could take down his words if he pleased and try him before the bar of the senate. The geutlemen were rapped to order and cooled down. Ransom’s motion was defeated and the committee resumed 1ts work. The report of the committeo of the whole on the Beatrice appropriation was adopted and the bill killed by the following vote: Ayes—Beardsley, Burton, Conner,.Cornell, Dern, Gallogy, Hoover, Hurd, ljams, Jew- ett, Keckloy, Linn, Maher, Manning, Nes- bitt, Paulsen, Paxton, Polk, Pope, Ransom, Robiuson, Shauner, Sutherland, Taggart-— Nays—Fanck, Lindsay, Norval, Raymond, Roche, Wetherald, Wolback—8." Howe ab- sent, As a clincher, a mouon to reconsider the vote was tabled. Olmsted’s bill for the Australian election a;vl:!em was killed by a vote of 19 to 12, and the nalls in its coffin were also clinched. Nesbitt's jury bill for Omaha was favora- bly considered and 1s ready for passage, i ll,‘hu senate passed the following house ills : Prohibiting official ocourt reporters from practicing law; requiring the written con- sent of mortgagee to dispose of property under chattel mortgage; legalizing the State Dairymen's association, and appropriating $1,000 annually therefor. W House, Lixcovy, Neb., March 20.—([Special to Tig Bex.]—The morning session was largely con- sumed in discussing senate file 10, a bill to abolish the live stock commission. Amend- ments intended to retain the veterinary sur- goon, the clause relating to quarantine and live stock inspectors at stock yards, as now prescribed, were in the hanas of the printers and the bill was made a special order for the afteruoon. Tue following senate bills were passed without amendment ; Giviag the consent of the state to the pur- chase or condemnation by the Unltod States of such u biock of land in the city of Omaha as muy hereafter be selected by the eral government for the site of a pos and ‘court house. A bill by Liun providing for the taxing of slecping and dining cars, Au effort to bring up the Hall maximum tariff vill for discussion was defeated. AFTERNOON SESSION. Hall's waxtmum tariff bill was taken up in coinmittee of the whole. Hall moved an wmendment, empowering the railroad commission by a four-sifths vote 10 reise the ostablished rate whenever it is proven that the existing rato is not remun- erative to the rouds, but authorizing a mere majority 1o reduce the rate wheu found to be excessive or exorbitant. Tho smeadwent was adopted and the bill reported back with a recommendation that it do pass, Seaute file 10, the bili repealing the live stock ogmmission, was tuken up. An amendment by Corbln providing for re- taluing the slate veloriuary surgeon, the -papers yesterday that a party of Japs of quarantine feature and the olauge in the prosent law providing for live stock in- spoctors at stock yards, was under considera- tion, and after being amended in fow par- tionfars of no _special importance, was adopted and the bill as amended was ordered 1o a third reading. “GENTLEMEN, BE SEATED.

The report of the committee was adopted. The house again took up house rolls 458 and 434—the appropriation bills. Caldwell moved to insert the item of £35,784 for intorest on state warrants in the general appropriation bill in favor of Boss Stout, and a five hour debate ensued. Cady aenounced the scheme as the essence of dishonesty, and declared that he would vote against the entire appropriation bill if this item was included, and was answered by “Here, t00,” from all over the house, Scoville made a powerful and convincing speech against the motion. Caldwell and Baker defended the claim, Gilbert charged Baker with always being on the side of the lobby, and an exciting col- loquy ensued. he final vote resulted, yeas 48, nays 42, and the amendment carried. The opponents of tho megsure hope to he able to strike it out on a roll call to-morrow, and a stubborn fight 1s sure to follow. The issue is uncertain, but bound to be close. ‘The appropriation of $50,000 for the ex- ponses of the live stock agents was stricken outand $10,000 for expeases of the state veterinarian substituted.

Mayor Broatch has issued the following which is addrossed to Licenso Inspector Turnbull, and vhich is calculated to cover the liberal sale of whisky by druggists: “I am in receipt of complaints from saloon- keepers that somo druggis's aro selling liq- uors by the drink, and are not complying with the law. You will pleaso advise them that they were not liconsed as saloon-keep- ors, and that they will be required to comply with the following provisions, commencing with the first day of April, 1850." Sec. 26, Chapter 50 of the compiled stat- utes of Nobraska: ,Any druggist to whom a permit may be granted as contemplated in sections 24 and 25 of this act, shall keep in a ook, provided by him for 'that purpose, & rogistor of all liquors sold or_given away by him, which register shall show the dutes, kind, quantity, for what purpose and to whom such liquor was sold_or given away, which book shall be at all times open to the inspection of the public; all druggists to whom such permit may be granted, shall on the first Monday of January and July of cach year, file in the of- fice of the clerk of the authorities granting such permits, a raport of all the entrios made in said register as_contemplated 1n_this sec- tion simnce his last report, which report shall be subscribed and sworn to as correct by said druggist, and that he hias not sold or given away, either by himself, clerk or agent, any liquors other than as stated in said report.

As the measure cov- ered about one hundred pages and was little more than a classification of articles of com- merce, the request was not granted. Baker tried to get in Tom Kennard’s claim for 811,000 for alleged services rendered the state in collectiug certain sums from the general governmeut years ago. Cady, as usual, was ready witha little substitute, which included other claims, and the Ken- nard claim was lost in the deal, The senate killed the Corbin bill to punish sessors for undervaluation of property, and the companion bill limiting the basis of taxa- tion to one-half the prevailing rates. By striking out_the stock commission the house saved the state a round §60,000 besides the innumerable “‘claims” that would spring up to vex the future legislators. ettt ot THE ROYAL JAPS.
