LaxcorLx, Neb,, March 22 —[Special to T Bee.|—The senato had an exceedingly dull morning. The body went into committes of the whole und recommended the passago of the following measures: A nouse bill constituting a board of equali- zation of the city council and board of super- visors in a city of the second class located m & county under township onganization. A house bill providing that - taxes levied for public works ordered in the past shall be set aside for the payment of bonds issned for such improvement. Rayner's immigration bill, which provides of condemning right of way for diteches and defines the rlrllu of parties in interest, Corbin's bill for the regulation of church, firo, literary and bencvolent associations. The Lincoln charter bill os roj from the committee on municipal affairs. The only contest was over the strect railway pav- ing clause. The committes reported the same provision as in the Omaha charter. That strect railways pave only between their rails until January 1, 1891, after which they shall also pave a foot outside of the rails and between the tracks wherever there is double track. Senator Raymond tried to make the provision apply at once, but, was outvoted.

The sen- ate then went mto committes 10 consider ap- propriation bills, The first reached was the bill asking §75,000 for new buildings at the Lincoln hospital for the insane. Ransom led the attack, showing that the Hastings and Norfolk iustitutions will have incroased capacity; that Donglas county's new hospital will also relieve the Lincoln in- stitution. Howe made a strong speech, and said that the appropristions ought to be cut down at least $1,000,000. Ho asserted that the ex- travagances of past legislatures would have insured democratic ascendency in this ses sion but for the presidential and senatorial election. Howe proposed to insist on re- trenchment if it took all summer. “The biil was indefinitely postponed. Tho bill asking $51,400 for new buildings ot tho Hasfings hosvital was indefinitely pestroned, with the understauding that tho r house, kitchen or other structure ab- solutely necessary to make tho present build- ing available would be provided for in the general appropriation bill The appropriation for the cupitol grounds reduced from £10,000 to §5,000. 4TS vote on indefinite postponement stood “The coffia lids were nailed down by tabling ‘motions to reconsider the vote.

The house went into committee of the whole on the salary appropriation bill and consumed the remainder of the morning s sion in au effort to strike out the appropria- tion of $5,000 salary for state veterinarian, Caldwell strongly opposed the motion. Ho thought that the £10,000 provided for in the general appropristion bill was not sufticient to even maintain the quarantine regulations provided for in the bill. Majors defended the motion. He said the costly. luxury of a stock commission_should §0, und that $10,000 is amply sullicioat to pay 1l' toe legitimate expenses-of this depart- ment.

As the roll call proceeded each member tried to shout louder than the other, and Towle soon caughton to the gamo they were trying to uuy on him and joined in the merriment. Vhen the call was finished fifty membors were on their feet at once noisily endeavor- ing to catch the eye of the spesker and change their vote, and the entire roll had to be called over again. Whon Towle's name was renched ho voted mgainst his own bill, which caused a renewal of the fun. Many members explained their votes in a manner that inoreased the morriment.

LixcoLy, Neb,, March 22—[Special Telo- gram to Tie Bee.]—In two days the senate has knocked §250,000 out of the appropriation bills, The house has reduced special bills 55,000, and has probably reduced the two general bills, though some members think not. The latter contained soveral hundred items, some of which have been _cut, others deceased and others inoreassd.

He Oonfirms the Story of the Union Depot Project. General G. M. Dodge of Towa, a director of the Union Pacific arrived in Omaha from the west late Thursday aftornoon. In the even- ing he was closeted with Vice President Hol- comb in his room at the Millard for soveral hours. When questioned by a reporter con- corning the present administration of the Union Pacific, the genecral said: *‘At the coming election Adams will ‘be re-elected president and W, H. Holoomb will be re. elected vice president. The stockholders are as a rale, well satisfied with the labors of both the officials. As to the existence of two factions, namely Ames-Dilion 18 considered, Tmust sy thut conclusions in this respect have been largely overarawn. Ames snd Dillon are intimate friends and the utmost harmony prevails.” »Then you are not sspiring to the presi- dencyof the Union Paeifict” “No, sir, I am not in quest of any such po- sition. “‘What have you to say conocerning the at- titude of the Union Pacific toward the United States " “Well, sir, let me say that it I had my say 1 would never solicit aid from congress or even make an _endeavor 1o warp a sympa- thetic fecling.

The Union Pacific 18 good property and, as I say, that for my part I would never solicit favor from congress. You may say that the Union Pa- cific has never defaulted thus far, and that when the debt of the governwent falls due it will bo patd. Asto the expectation of aid from congress, nothing is more uncertain, What can you expect when the bill that originated in congress was tabled in the hands of its friends? The Outhwaite bill was a step taken by the government on its own respon- sibility, What has become of it? Every- body is aware that it still hangs 1n tho bal- ance, although it is a government instru- ment.” “What is the idea concerning the future development of the Union Pacifict’ “If the Union Pacific will devote its time and enterprise between the Missouri river and the Pacific ocean it will make a mark. 1f the management will put one-half tho enterprise into developing local territory, mining ndus- tries and such matters, that it does in secur- ing one car-load of freight from a point 500 miles away, from which but little revenue acerues, it will be of great benefit not only to the Union Pacific, but to this entire west, and will add 50 per cent to the earnings of the system. “What is your opinion of the inter-state law? “Iam in favor of the law, provided it is enforoed in all its bearings and purposes. In rigid enforcement of the law the . tidewater points will be most benefited and interior Jobbing centers will receive a set-back, As regards the railronds, it will necessarily be of preat benefit. As'yet the law has mot been carriod out as it should be, but matters are rapidly shaping themselves in that direc- tion.” “Are you cognizant of the details in con- nection with & union depot for Omaha{” ‘‘Vice President Holcomb has just in- formed me that the arrangements for a union depot had been completed. I ought not, I suppose, to quote Mr, Holzomb on_this, but you can say that I said Omaha will have a union depot costing over $1,000,000 before many moons roll by."” “Has the Union Pacifie an opening on the south to the Pacific coast, conuecting with the Utah Central on an’ entrance at San Diego?” “'As to this, or any other project in this direction, I am notat liberty to state any- thing for publication.” General Dodge will remain in Omaha for several days, and it is said, will confer with President Holcomb on certain matters in connection with extension and completion of branch lines and feeders to the main line, Will the Forces Be Reduced ?

Platt Thinks It Will Be Given to Depew. New Yorg, March 22.—|Special Telegram to Tue Bee |—Ex-Senator Platv returned from his southern trip last evening. ‘“Who is most likely to receive the English mission?” was asked bim. “Ishouldn’t be surprised if a New York man went to the court of St. James.” “What are Chauncy M. Depew’s chanves?” “I'was in Washington but & few hours, but I was told that the sentiment was very favor- able to him.” “Some newspapers in other states think New York is getting too much patronage?” “So Isee. As n matter of fact, she is not. Colonel Grant’s appointment cannot be charged to New York. It is credited to the empire, I guess,” rephed Platt, lavghingly. Depew said last night that he could not very weli refuse oraccept what had not been offered. Depew’s friends insist that nd other man is 80 likely 1o be seut to the Court of St. James unless the president should decide to make his choice from outside of New York state. They say {urther that Depew would accept the mission, Another gentleman who claims to know why the appointment to the Court of St. James is being held back, says the true rea- son is that President Harrison has deter- mined not to fill the vacant English mission until he is officially advised of the appoint- ment of a successor to Lord Sackville. The action of the English government in this matter has been a slap at us for dismissing Sackville. President Harrison can take no cognizance of the cabled reports that Sir Julian Pauncefoote has been selected to come here, and the gentleman asserts that until the new English minister presents his papers the president will uot appoint a suc- cessor to Mr, Phelps. —_————— Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy will cure ncold in less time than any other treatment.

Dr. Knappe Censured for His Course in the Affair. Brrry, March 22.-The government has issued a white book on Samoan affairs. It shows that on March 9, Bismarck wrote to Herr Steubel, the newly appointed consul of Germany to Samoa, describing the conduct Dr. Knappe, his predecessor in office, as Iack- ing in calnmess and coolness, and as con- trary to the lines of Emperor Wilham's policy, with which Dr. Knappe had beon woll acquainted, Dr. Knappe, Prince Bismark wrote, lrlen!l.V lost his head owingto a letter from Herr Brandeis, Tamasese's mms minister, which was publisged in the t white book, and the presence’of three men-of-war at Samoa. Roferring to Dr. Knappe's subscquent proposal to aunex Samon, Rismarck reite- rates his view that to seek to effect a change in the political situation in Samoa without the' consent of England and America, would not accord with treaty arrangements. Knappe's action, reverting to the question of annexation, is incomprehensible because his experience and iustructions ought to have shown him that his desire to annex Samoa was opposed to the policy conducted by the chancellor in_ conformity with the emperor's intention. Knappe justified the arrest of tho Englishman Gallier on the ground that the latter had recommended Mataafa to apply to Mr, Grey, ex-governor of New Zealend, for assistance.

In reply, and to correct errone- ous impressions concerning the same, 1 have to stato that you were discharged upon rec- ommendation of the chief of the bureau of yards and docks for ineMiciency in the performance of your duties, At the time of my approval of the recommendation for your dismissal I was not aware of your military record, and it is a cause of decp re- gret that such a result should happen to a sol- dier, but, nevertheless, it is necossary to the proper transaction of “the business of the department that persons holding posi- tions thereunder shall be able to discharge their duties in a mgnner satisfactory to their superior officers. ‘While the fact of a person having & good record as a soldier will be con- sidered among the best of recommendations for retention in, or tecommendation to, a po- sition under the navy department, ability to perform satisfactorily the duties of the pos: tion which he holds or to which he aspires must be a condition precedent to favorable cousideration of application for retention or appointment. ———— There are nineteen metals more valua- ble than gold, but noremedy which will compare with Bigelow’s Positive Cure for coughs and colds.

A Decision of Interest to Western Grain Dealers. ‘WASHINGTON, March 22.—The inter-state commerce commission, by, Commissioner Morrison, rendered its decision to-day in the case of the Northwestern Iowa Grain and Stock Shippers’ association vs the Chicago & Northwestern railway company. Tt statos thata railroad company making different. rates for the same distances on different branches of its road must justify them by showing that there is a difference in the cost of carrying on the different branches. A company, by long maintaining a rate without the presence of competion on other than equal terms, makes or gives evidence that such rate s mot low. A company which has two routes be- tween points cannot lawfully charge more for the shorter than for the longer | distance on either., A road can carry freight from points on its main line chedber than another road can carry over a branch road with separate equipment to and over its main live, and where one of such branch lines must carry in competition with another road from its main line stations the rate on that branch establishes no criterion for branches not so situated. The company gave special rates to corn shippers in Ne- braska to points in Illinois, by means of which corn reached the seaboard at a low through rate. When the company denied, s it did, such special advantages to corn shippers in Iowa it gave unlawful preference to Nebraska shippers. ——— c : For Weak Stnmannm —Impaired Digestion—Disordared Liver, LD BY ALL DRUGGISTS.
