Senator Poynter resumed his seaton the floor and the presidont ascended to the chair, The report of the committee of the wholo wos made through the chairiman, Senator Poynter, Senatar Switzle the commitLe ried. The resolution chair announced that the samo read a third time, the question the bill now pass. The yeus and nays were demanded, Senator Collins ‘explained nis vote. The constitution provided that all bills should be sent to the governor for his signature; that that official had fivo days for the exclu: vo purpose of considering those bills before sturning them to the legislatuve, In the or- dinary course of business, sufiicient timo would not bes allowed him 'in which to con- sider this bill and return it either with or without his approval. Hence he could not acton this measure in tho time which ob- taiued bef the dato set for the hearing of tho contest. If he should " return the resolution without his signature on the day after the date set for the hearing of the contest, it would be- come a law. The state would' then have a law on its statute hooks providing for a con- test, when no such contest could take place, ‘The senator was unwilling to throw away an opportunity to hear a coutest which had been considered” advisable. If the independents did any thing of the kind they would not onty £0 into the hole but would also draw the holo in aftor them. The best way to do was to vote down the resolution and begin de novo, ‘The roll call was ordeved, After it had been made, and before the result was an- nounced, Seunator Poynter moved that the resolution be recommitted to the committeo of_the whole. Senator Switzler raised the point of order thatno business could be transacted before the result of the vote was announced, The chair considered the point for a few moments, the while burying himself in the blue book containiug the rules of the senate, mi at length asked the secretary to g rule ‘The sceretary road, which origiyatad tho resujid) Collins, Koontz, Mat- ors, Schram, Van Housen, Michener, Shum- th was called to the entatives has contest for f the n Ly of i | 18 Contestee of moved that the report of of the whole be adopted, Car- was again read and tho 1 been was should n the senaf'iintyht, befor “w of uvoto was declared, be recom- va. Senator Switzler again rose to his feet and stated that the chair had overlooked the fact that the rule contemplated a resolution originating i the senate, The ruie did not cover the point in controversy. The resolu- tion under consideration had originated in the houso. The chair again deliberated. He read the rule again and decided that in tho absence of arule bearing directly on the case he would hold that the ruling already given would stand, und that he would entertain Senator Poynter's motion, Senator Keiper rose to apoint of order, he rule n_question required the motion to recommit to be made before the declaring of the vote on the resolution. The declara- tion of the vote, it was true, had not been made, but the vote had actually been com- ploted, which was in effect a declaration, The chair would not recede from his posi- tion. Senator Poynter said the reason he had moved to mmit was because the senate did not have time to amend the resolution and send it to the governor in time to have it signed before the time set for the contest. If the resolution should pass as it then stood it would deny rights to men who had sought this contest and who were entitled 10 ®& hearing. These men bad spent their money in this matter and they ought not to have spent it in vain. If the senate refused 10 hear the c it would act justas a court of Justice would in saying after having read the papers, “*You have no case,” and then take and throw the papers outof court. There was no justice in such a move. The senato knew nothing about this case save what it had read in the papers, ‘That was not testimony. “They did not know what_ evidence these con- testees had. It was through an unforeseen aceident that they did not have time at this lute hour to set the matter right. Seuator Switzler asked that the chair de- clare the result of the vote. Sevator Keipersaid he wanted to know if tho senator (Poynter) was so anxious to have the resolution recommitted for improvement why he had not so moved when the resolu- tion was before the committee on the whole, Senator Poynter said the reason he had not done so was because at tho time he was in the chair and could not preside and make o motion at the same time, The indepeadent lobbyists wno were ex- periencit g some of the pangs of misery mado an attenpt to get up 8 laugh ut the expense of Senator Keiper, but were kuocked out by the Iatter's hasty reply to Senator Poynter. In substance the reply was that if the sen- ator from Boone wanted a recommittment very badly he could easily huve retived from the chair. and called - some other person to preside. He had seen such -a thing doue several times. If these peoplo bad beon victims of an unforseen ac- adent it was their own fault, and they should bear the consequences of the slip. Senator Collins said ho was in favor of de- ciding the contest on its merits. That was why he contended the contest should be car- ried out strictly under the requirements of the constitution, That was why he was now in favor of voting down the weasure, - intro- dueing another de novo which would be de- prived of verbiage. The fact that the senate fiad taken a vote upon the matter coald be taken as evidence in the court. Sevator Eggleston of Lancaster, who had suld nothing during the debate, movea that the motiou L recommit be laid on the table, The yeas and nays were called for, and while the vote wus being taken Scnator Dysart expiamed his vote. Some of the members of the senate, he said. wero great constitutional lawyers. In tho eariier part of the session there was scarcely anything that could be done, because it was nearly all uncoustitution: Now if they wished to lay claim to be leaders on a coustitutional basis, why didn't they stand by the constitu- tiou. He didw't believe all that is said by those who are talking about the constitution, What they really Wauted to do was to evade the constitution, ‘The senate ought to hear the coutest because 1t had been begun in a legal manner, and be- cause It had been supported by the people, He believed that uny man on the floor of the senate who would vote to kuock out the reso- lution would stand condomned by his con- stients. He wanted the men who were resolution whs an important one to thom. The domands of those who asked for the con- test were Just. They were just under the constitution, and the senate should answer the demands, ~ He voted no, The roll call proceeded, and when Taylor's nal was reached that gentleman was not in his seat. Senator Stevens movod a call of the hion Senator Switzler raised the point of order that no business was allowable now save the continuance ot the call The vote to lay on the table w taken, and carried, as follows : Yeas— Brown, = Christofferson, Egleston, Keipor, Mattes, M Shumwey, Switzler, Thomas Housen, Woods--14, Nays-Coulter, Day, Dysart, Hill, Mich ener,” Poynter, 'Randall, Sanders, Smith, Stevens, Warren, Williams—12, Senator Switzler then called upon the chalr to announce the vote, which had not been o nounced, on the motion that the resolution pass, 5 Senator Poyntor moved again to recommit the resolution, ot Switzler insisted upon bis right to rd after having been recognized by the and again asked for the vote which bad tot been annonnced The chair said that by ‘the senator fr inally Collin , Schram, furner, Vau ne the motion made Boone was one hi could entertain without failing to respect the rights of the senator from Douglas.

LiNcory, Neb,, 11.—[Special Tele- gram to Tue Ber.|-Tonight the dissatis- faction of the independents over thewr defeat led to the criticism of absent senators, as well as of those who had voted with the Boyd men.

Livcoly, Neb, Feb. 1l.—[Special to Tae Bee)-On motion of Newberry, 10,000 copies of Ex-Governor Thayer's mes- sage were ordered printed. The house committee on schoools reported in favor of the Felker bill. requiring one- third of the members of school boards in metropolitan cities to be women. The committee on judiciary reported back a bill by Cornish_providing that both houses shall meet at noon on the fifth day of the or- ation of the legislature to hear conu for executive offices, with the rec mendation that it do pass. ; The same_committee made a similar report on house roll 174, by Watson, requiring all foreign insurance companies to have a capi- tal equal to that required of local companies, and appoint an attorney in each county be- foro transacting business, on whom sumimnons may be served, and providing that all law- suits by such companies shall be confined to state courts.

Taylor (ind) of Johnson resi hi: position as member of the railroad committee, and Ganvett (ind) ot York was appointed” to fill his place. Among the bills introduced were the fol- move to foreclose. Rather a resolution should be framed which sbould be n accordance with the bill now before congress. Senator Keiper said it would be better to pass the resolution, even in the Jight of what had been said against it. The Union Pacitic had not complied with the terms of its con- tracts or its grants, ‘The senate ought to take action on the subject because of the manner in which the road had violated every obligu- tion. Senator Hoar had said that from the time of its_inception every step had been attoned with fraud and that he had seen high-minded judges driven from the courts by the threat of impeachment. The road had justified the statement that it had been conceived in fraud and raised in perfidy, It had movtgaged its lands, and while tho settlers of the state, sufferers from grasshoppers and fire, were compelled to pay their taxes, the Union Pacitic escaped pay- ment of its taxes by the claim that the title was not vested in it, aud the supreme court of the United States had stood by it. If the title to those lands was not in the company, how could the company mortgage them, The United States said they should pay taxes if they surveyed their lands, and _they escaped tho taxes and had all along been escaping them. The resolution under consideration would hurt no one, evenif it should be passed. Senator Mattes noted that the resolution loading tohave more than a techuicality to change their minds on the subject. Seuator Randall of Phelps said that the was not printed and in the flles of the mem- Dora, and he was opposed to fartber consid- eratiou of the matter. Senator Switzlor said the iaterests of the lowing: By Elde 74, subd Nebraska. By Oakloy—To compel children between the ages of seven and fifteen years to attend school, and to provide penalties for the viola- tion thereof. By Felton—To establish and maintain a contral purchase and supply depot for the purpose of purchasing and furnishing the goods und supplies necessary for the main- tainance of the several charitable institutions of the state.

He Was Probably in Search of Missing Link. w Yonrk, Feb. 11.--President Inman of a the Richmond & West Point Terminal com pany returned from hi trip with Mr. Gould this morning. Speaking of the provosed purchase of the Louws southern and western ille, New Albany & Chicago, the Monon route, Inman said he did not care to talk much about the matter. He did not think his road would make the purchase, but a close trafic alliance would probably be formed. The watter is wholly in the hands of Brice and will be settled soon. Mr, Inman, whnen asked what the general idea of his tripsouth with Mr. Gould was, replied: *The establishment of a southern scontinental line.” ? our terminal stem veaches to the Mississppi and taps Mr. Gould's southwestern system n_several places. His system of roads would tako us to the Unton Pacific aud we had Mr, Dillon along as representing that line. Mr. Gould was very favorably impressed, not only by the pysical condition of the properties in- spected, but also by the growth of the coun- try through which the terminal lines run Awmong other things the terminal company will probably arrango for a closer and mo divect connection into Newy York city, eith with the Pennsylvania or Baltimore & Ohio.” Unfounded Rumors, Cuicaco, Feb. 11.—-(Special Telogram Tug Ber,] —The raillway press burean John P, Fiughos, assistant to Pr Breyfogle of the Monou, does not obje the advertising road Is getting, but he does deny absolutely that Brice or any other person or corporation has bought the Monon, or made any offer for it. Smid he, after this explicit denial: * ““Phere is no desire to sell the Moron, even atits actual value. Our earnings show a constant increase of over 25,000 u month, Wo have no interest to pay until April Bvery cent of debt is caved for and we hay 10 ciuse of complaint.
