They Are Sprang in Lincoln oa the Guber- natorial Deadlook. HALL SAYS MAJORS WAS SURPRISED. eaterday's Proceedings in the House and Senate-Making Up the Com- mittees—important Bills Introduced, LixcoLs, Neb,, Jan, 13.—[Special to Tus te.|—The governorship is a topic of ceasing interest aud a sourcoof numberless rumors and speculations, Among the first was a roport that Liou- tenantGovernor Majors had filed a petition in intervention to contést Governor Boy: cligibility, Certain hot headed democ: the house immediately gave it out flat that if he did they would join the independents in sontng Powers. Representative White asked them to keep quiet until he would luvestigate the report. He had a talk with Licutenant Governor Majors, learned that the rumor was untrue, and the excited democrats quieted down. Then followed the rumor that Boyd and Majors had made a tie-up, and that the latter had signed a formal agreement not to contest the governor's seat, The consideration was not stated. 1t 1s absurd to think as old and shrewd a politician as Tom Majors would sign a paver of that kind that might disturb his political dreams for the rest of his life, but the rumor found believers and stirred up inquiry. Mr. Majors said in response to a quostion about the report: *“T'hiere is absolutery no foundation for it. 1 have made no such agreement, and Mr. Boyd lins not asked it. I hold my position by the sovereign will of the peopte, and Mr. Boyd holds his by the same title, I think the only thing for e todo is tolet the matter take its course and develop.” The ruwnor went on tonamo Hon. Charles Hall of Liucoln as the go-between in fixing up the alleged agreement. Mr, Hall is Licu- tenant Governor Majors' attorney in the con- test for hus present” position, When asked about the rumor, Mr. Hall said: “Itis not true. There is nomore agreement, betwern Mr. Boyd and Mr. Majors then there has been all along. They are both charged with burglary, with stcaling state ofiicers The evidence that will convict one is very likely to oust the other. They have some interests in common in the contast for their offices, but that is un affair quite upart from the question of Governor Boyd's eligi- bility." “What will be your course in the quo war- ranto proceeding ! was aske “I do not seo that anything can be done until Mr. Boyd makes his answer, and that will probably be delayed as long a3 possible, which will be five wecks from yesterday. We may not take any action. The gquestion of Mr. Boyd's eligibility has been raised and is before “the court. Our supreme court is likely not to reach a decision until the Sep- tember term. The court is over-burdened with worls, and if it follows its pra in other cases, will probably refer this case to a referee. The finding of the referce may be de- layed until after the adjournment of this term of court. I can say that the ruling of the court permitting Mr. Majors to inte vene was an utter surprise tohim, Two in- forences may be drawn from it One is that if Mr. Bovd is found ineligible the court thinks Mr. Majors is his logitimate suc- cessor. Theother is that the judges are di- vided on that point." Governor Thayer has been 1n his office most of the day and been readily accessible, has reccived many assurances, both by and in person, of approval of his course by republicans. He has furnished Governor Hoyd with a variety of blanks and volun- te |~d other courtesies. In conversation, he said “I huve nostatement to givo to the public. My case is before the court and my counsel, among the ablest in the state, have charge of it I shall remain here quictly pending its adjudication, which I trust will be next week. 1 will show Mr. Boyd every courtesy and re- spect. I will say, however, that I can .see that public sentiment is changing and I be- lieve that time will justify my course.’” THE SENATE, A Bill to Regulate the Salaries of County Officer; LixcoLy, Neb., Jan. 13,—[Special Telegram to Tne Bek]—Very little but routine busi- ness was trausacted in the senate this morn - ing. 'The clerks read all bills from beginning to end, which consumes much time that was. saved by the clerks in former sessions, wh frequently read very little but the title or introduction, Senator Kuntz was appointed to act with two members of the house as a delegation to the irrigation convention to be held at Mc- Cook on January 25, A resolution was passed expressing the sense of the senate that immediste action should be naken to provide out of the state funds for the peoplo who are suffering from the faulure of their crops, Among the new bills introduced were the following : 7 By Switzler—Providing that electors for president and vice president shall be elected at the general election in the year 1892 and every four years thereafter on such day as congress may appoint, one of sald electors to be chosen from each congressional district into which the state may be divided and two of said electors to be chosen from the statoat large. By Coulter -Repealing the bounty on the manufacture of sugar from beats or sorghum, By~ Wilson—Providing for thirteen ju- dicial districts, By Sbea—Amending section 42, chapter 28, 0f the compiled statutes entitled “*Fecs," It provides that county judges and county clerks shall turn into the county treasury all feos in excess of $1,500, and connty treasur- ers and sheriffs all'in excess of $000. In co nties of 25,000 population the treasurer shuil receive 85,000 and shall bave necessary assistants, whose aggregate salaries may not excoed §2,100; the sheriff shall receive $2,500 and have a 00 deputy ond necessary jail guards; the county clerk shall réceive 500 and have @ $1,200 deputy. The judge shali receive fees to the amount of #2500 and be provided with necessary clerks whose salaries shall not exceed §,000° in the aggregate, such officers aro allowed also to retain not'to exceed §700 each for additional assistants if needed, In counties of 70,000 population the fees of the county clerk must be paid over to the treasurer quarterly, aud the clerk’s salary of §2,500 und his assistants’ salaries will bo fund. Deputies and assistants in counties of 70,000 must be appointed and their salaries fixed by the board of county commissione Walt Seeley has been appointed privato secretary to’ Lieutenant Governor Majors andis stationed near the latter's chair, where ho can be of much assistance, especially to the clerks who aro not familiar with the routine of their officos. AFTERNOON SESSION. At the afternoon session of the senate the ouly thing done was the first reading of the the house’s concurrent resolution fixing next Tuesduy as the time for meeting in joint con- vention to take up the coutest for sta oftices. It camo up out of its regular order and Switzler objected toits reading, but the rules were suspended by a voto of N House, Under a resolution by Stovens of Furnas, Price Saunders (colored) of Omaha and A. West were appointed s pecal janitors, ‘The house voted to use the clevators during the session. Mr. Capek lutroduced a resolution inviting ex-Governor Thayer to filo bis message with the secretary of state in order that the house may reoeive tho information contaiued in the message relating to the present fnancial con- dition of the state, White said they could abtain that from the treasurer’s report. ‘The resolution was tablea. On motion of Taylor the approval of the minutes of the joint convention was indefi- uitely postponed. A large number of bills were introduced, amony them the followlng : By Gulo—Repeating the innocent clauso in notes, By Bredeson--Amendiog the code to THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: WEDNESDA allow a stay of ton months In enforcing judg meants, By Faxon—Relative to the same subject.

AFTERNOON SESSION. Mr. McReynolds of Clay arose and ad- dressed the chair as follow: Ir. Speaker—The citizens of Lone Tree precinet, Clay county, desire through the Judge of their district, Judge Morris, to pre- sont to the speaker a token of their regard for him as a neighbor and their appreciation of the honor conferred upon Clay county by his election as the wresiding officer of tho house, ana I ask unanimous assent of the house that such presentation be now made.” Judge Morris—On behalf of the neigobors and friends of the speaker—and they are legion—who reside in Lone Tree precinct, in Clay county, I desire to make a statoment. Many years ago there grew upon the bank of Sandy creek a lone tree whici in the ea settlement of the county served as a guide to your honoraole speaker and other pioneers in crossing the bleak and barren prairies, _In the course of time the top decayed and fell, and the usefulness of the trce came to an end. A gavel has been made from the roots of this tree, and on_ behalf of the people of Lone Tree precinct I am directed to present this gavel to your honorabl_speaker with the hope that as the tree itself was for so many ears & guide to the weary pioneers, so m this gavel direct this brauch of the leg turein the paths to honest and wise legis! tion. The clerk read the following statement: This gavel was made ou Jan. 7, 1801, by T. C. Hagar of Clay Center, Neb., from tim- ber taken from the stump of the lone elm, vhich stands on Sandy creck, in Lone Tree precinet, in Clay county. The donors ex- press the hope that as the tree itsolf was for 50 many years a true guide to Hon, S. M. ilder in Crossing the prairie, so may this gayel in his hand guide this legislaturo i the same course.” Speaker Elder aroseand in a very feeling manner spoke as follows : ‘‘Gentlemen, and members of the houso of ves: Ir to the people of Clay to my friend Ropealing the law pro- of e to expressmy thanks and especially Judge Morris, whom I have years, for this testimonial of their regard.” 1 can recall vivid recollections of this tree, and distinctly remember on one occasion, when lost in the snow storm, how we wandered about and finally reached this tree, which yas our pretection until relieved from our peritous position. This tree could be scen from the Republican to the Little Blue, and 80 long as it was 1n sight the trav- eler knew that he was safe. I thank you one and all for the honor you have conferred upon me, and hope this gavel may direct us in ca- acting laws that will confer lastiug benefits upon the people of Nebraska." Stevens of I'urnas moved that each mem- ber be supplied by the secretary of state with five paper-wrappers, five daily papers of his own scction and ten 2-cent stamps. Carried. Breen offered a resolution providing for a special committee of five to proceed to the drouth-stricken reglon and investigate the condition of affairs aud make a speedy ro- port, a5 to the best manner of expending the $100,000 appropriation about to be made. The resolution was tabled. Capek introduced a resolution to furnish copies of the revised statutes of Ne braska for 1880 to each member. Bertrand s aid the edition of 1859 was the work of a priv ate in- dividual and was not authorized. The reso- lution was iaid on the table: "The following resolution was introduced by Mr. Moan Resolved, by the house of represontatives, the senate concurring, That the state board of transportation bedirected to furnish within ten days a comparative statement of local freight rates In Nebraska, Illinofs, fowa and Minnesota. Stevens of Furnas said the passage of this resolution wonld be a recognition of the elec- tion of the state officers, and that, they could afford to wait awhile for this information, and moved that the resolution be tabled. Carried. Modie moved that the house concur in the senate resolution to appoint a committee of two to attend the irrigation convention, which meets at McCookon January 20. Car- ried, and the speaker appointed Modie and Rugeles as said committoe. Mr. Moan introduced a bill for the submis- sion of a constitutional amendment providing for tho election of three railroad commis- sioners by a direct vote of the people. On motion of Shrader the house adjourned until 10 &, m. tomorro The Senate Committees. .y, Neb., Jan. 18.—|Special to Tur bo work of ‘making up the standing committees of the senate has boen attended with a great deal of friction. The independ- ents hiad selected the best of everything, and Senators Stea, Christofferson and Moore have been fighting for a better show for the republicans and democrats, Theselecting committee had the matter under consideration this afternoon, and the senate did not begin business this afternoon until nearly 4 o’clock, in the hope cf getting areporton the stanamg committees, The committee then announced that it would not be ready to report until morning out of defe: ence toSenator Shea who desired furth consideration. The corvespondents had a list of the com- mittees yesterday, but no fewer than twenty changés have been made in their membership since then. Senator Shoa says he will abandon further efforts to_change the inde- peudents, and will introduce & minority re- port. It is believed, therefore, that the con mittees as now made up will bo_embodied the majority report without further change.

Speaker Elder was busily engazed all day in making up his ‘committees. He says he finds it a heavy task, No more committees will be announced until the entire list is com- pleted, which may take a day or two. No in- timation has been given as to the leading chairmanships, except that they will go to the independents. As there are no lawyers among the independents, it has been su ested that tho judiciary committee should €0 to.John C. Watson.” The three leading committoes—judiciary, railvays and appro- *priations--will likely go to Schrader of Logan, McReynolds of Clay and Taylor of Johnson. Gaffin of Saunders, Newberry of Hamilton, Jones of Burt, Kruse of Knox, Waldron of Adams and Stevens of Furnas will likely get good committees, Amendments—Beck, Stov Curner, Schwmm, Wilson, Michener, Kuntz, Randall, Collins, Shumway, Taylor, Stevens, Yy 'y Taylor, Turner, Stevens, Turner, Vau Smith, Coulter, rrent Resolution. The concurrent resolution of tho house, fixing next Tuesday as the time for the joint session to hear the contest for state offices, has been received by the senate and seta flood of speculation loose. ‘The point has been raised that a concurrent resolutionmust go through the same routine as a bill und be signed by the governor. If Governor Boyd refuse to sign this resolution it is held that proceedings will be blocked, because the independents have not enough of a majority to iss it over his veto, An experience parliamentarian, who has beeu connected with the legislature for yoars, holds that the poliit is not well taken. here are, he holds, two kinds of concurrent reso- Iutions. One Iapses with the adjournment of the legislature, aud the other extends beyond. The Relief Movement. Senator Stevens, yesterday inaugurated a movement to give immediate rolief to the drouth sufferors in western Nobraska., A paper has been eirculated among the mem- bers of the leglslature pledging them to sup- port a bill appropriating $100.000 for that purpose, It isstated tonight that a large majority of the members have signed the paper and, on tho ccedit of that pledge, the state relief _committee will go ahead at onco and order and shl{) #00ds to the sufferers. A special commitice of the house, of which Mr. Modie 1s chairmap, aod Watson, a lead- ing member, is drafting a bill to meet the case, Legislative Notos. Theleadership of the Lancastor delegation lies between Oakley and Nickerson. Taylor of Johnson was called to the chair for a few minutes today and proved himself @ good parliamentarian, The farmers put in about as much timo making laws as they would plowing cor The daily sessions are twico as long as for. merly. About twventy bills have been introduced so of others are hidden snugly away in inside coat pockets waiting for the call of the speaker Heretofore ithas be the roll alphabetically bills, but now it 1s a fr the éye of the speakor. Marked copies of the Lincoln Journal of Education containing articles against school book uniformity and state publication have veen distributed among tho members, Representative Gillilan (rep) of Lancaster wishes tostate that he has not gone en- tively over to the independents. He only votes with them when he thinks they aro right. ‘The hall of the house is being kept in ex- celient shape. The jenitors are farmers and are apparently willing to put in as much time when working for the state as they do upon their farms. One of the singular things of this legisla- ture, and which perlaps has never occurred before in the history of legislation, is the queer make-up of the judiciary committees “The chairmen of both *are likely to be farm- ers, and a clear majority will be tillers of tho ntroduction of for all race w catch Amusing scencs are the order of the day in the house. When thé speaker put a motion today the ‘‘ayes” were numerous but not very emphatic, while the “noes’ were few but loud. Looking iu the direction whence the negative vole proceedad, the speaker re- marked, “1t is carried just the same,” which brought down the house. Bishov Skinner has scared the legislators away from his Red Ribbon hall meetings. A week ago o few members wero prosent out of curiosity, and they caught the oye of the bishop, who insisted that they should deciare themselves upon both municipal suffrage and statutory prohibition, Last Sunday not a single member was present.

IT ABOLISHES THE TAX ON STATE BANKS. Sherman Spyks for Four Hours Against Free Oolnaga—Tho Army Approprivtion Bill in ths House. WasinNGroy, Jan, 13.—~In the senate today Mr. Morgan on behalf of Mr., Colquitt gave notice of an amendmont to the financial bill abolishing the tax on stato banks, The bill for the eroction of a publie build- ing at Joliet, I1., to cost $10),00) was. passed. The scaate then resumod consideration of the financial bill and was addressod by Me Sherman. The Stewart amendment, ho saud, was a radical proposition, which changod the whole gharacter of tho bill. It was a propo- sijon that the United States shoald pay $1.25 for every ounce of silvor bullion that might booffered from any partof tho world. Not only this, but it had no option as to the mode of paymont. The opition was in the hands ofthe owner. This proposed measuce gave preference tosilver over gold; not only this, but was not cpen to further amendment, To- day the value of silver in the markets of the world was somothing about $1.05 an ounce. Here was an offer to pay 24 cents an ounce more than the market price. Mr, Sherman also eriticised the proposition that silver was to be formed into coin or bars at the option of the owner, *‘without charge.” He said now in all sincerity that if he be- lievep free coinage of silver would enable us to maintain the value of silver bullion up to that of gold he would vote for free coinage today. But if it were admitted that silver could not reach gold except by the govern- ment paying a bounty to the producers of do- mestic silver he did not think there was any danger of the measure passing. M. Sher- man spoke of the Latin union and said the Unitea States was much more liveral to silver than was even France, and yet the senate has been tld of the great prosperity of france, and that won- derful prosperity has been attributed to its treatment of silver. He said it was ridiculous to present France as a sil- ver country, Silyer was not the legal tender there for a higher amount than for 50 francs. He did not, ses why his silver friends nor tne people ought to be satisfied with the presont law. Tt was a compromise proposition, made after grave reflection. Why should the bul- lion owners of Nevada aud Colorado be paid more than the market price for their silver? The present law worked well, sossion it was agreed to by the silver men as all thoy wanted. It contained a declaration, which, he thought, was a point of honor, that it would be the policy of the United States maintain the pavity of the tw . within a v, would destroy that parity. The immediate effect. of free coinage would be to iherease the exportation of gold. While the curroncy would be expanded by the issue of tr ury notes, it would be coutracted by the exportation of gold. Another effect would be to increase the proportion of silver. When the market for silver was in the most di turbed state possible, when the United States alone was_bulling silver against the world. when the Latin nations were secking a more stavle standard, it was proposed that tho United States should step in and buy silver ata price far above the market valuo, Was it not a serious thing to make this offer, in view of the great store of silverin the world ¢ Continuing, Mr. Sherman said he was ashamed that a great nation like ours shoula be content to lower its standard of value to jomn China, Japan and the South American states and to leave a compar commer- ciul nations which now hopefully stood by most standards of value, for whatever might be said of silver, no one would que: tion that in the great business trans actions of life silver would not aunswer the purpose. It would be measured by the ton. Gold alone was the standard value. He could see nothing in the future of this measure except distrust, fear and change of values. It would injure all those who de- pend on theirlabor, There was no dificulty, Mr. Sherman asserted, in keeping gold an ilyer ata parity with each other, When ;heysepuruwd n market value and when it was clearly perceived that either metal was going down in value, then the ratio should he changed, He believed the best money ever devised by man was the treasury notes of the United States 1ssuing under the law of last session gold certificates and silver cirtificates. “The common people believed 1 hard money They were willing to have paper money, but they wanted it maintained at par. He cau- tioned the democratic sevators from the cast and the senators from the southern states that if they committed them- selves to the palicy of free comage of silver tnen they would have the burden of thut commitment next year when the respon- sibility of legislation would be upon them, and he reminded them that during the four years of democratic administration they had not dared propose such a measure, but” kopt as quiet as possible and no alliance would drive them to the principle of free coinage. For one he would stand by the legal standard of value, on which public and private con- tracts had been based. After speaking four hours Mr. Sherman resumed his seat amid applause, Mr. Teller said the senator’s argument had been an appeal agaiust the mines of the coun- try. The question was not one of compensa- tion to miners, but whether the world wanted silver as money. Mr. Allison said it was true that the peo- ple of the Upited States did not favor the uso of metallic movey in ordinary transactions, whether “of silver or gold. They' proferred paper substitutes for coin, whether the coin bo of silver or gold. Healluded to the vecont monetary stringency and said that in obedience to what hie believed to be the wish of those who de- sired to increase the currency and those who wished to give steadiness to Silver bulljon, he had voted in favor of the first section of the bill, in favor of making an additional pur- chase of £1:2,000,000 of silver, butafter having listened to the specches of the senators from loradoand Nevada ho would, when the opportunity offered, move to strike from tao bill its first section. The last section of the villhe regarded as a vital one. It author ized the president, when a sufficient number of commercial nations had agreed upon a com- mon ratio, to make & proclamation to that effect and to open our mines to free coinage, That was a statement to the nutions of the world that the States was ready when ¢ were to use silver as money. 1o argued from historical parallels_ that under tho fr silver coinage provision gold would go pra v outof the country, or would ve held af its value abroad, compared with the value of silver bullion. He regarded the proposition of free coinage as premature. He did not bo- lieve that the United States could maintain it alone, aad that was his argument would therefore vote against the amendmoht, Messrs, Allrich and Evarts also spoke against the amendment, Mr. McCounell spoke in favor of free coin- ag that Mossrs.
